CITIZEN OPEN THREAD.
Excellent video on National Debt from Congressman Schweikert
NOTE FROM KANE
As long as the headlines can be seen, green and red showing up as black for example, that’s fine.
I thought they couldn’t be seen at all for colorblind readers — invisible headlines.
So I’m not worried about it now. Thanks for all the feedback below.
Carry on, CFP Nation.

Wonder if or when they will get Zelensky. My guess is when they are done with him and just need him out of the way.
Good morning patriots. ☕️

So sad. This Air National Guard group comes out of Martinsburg. They have a big presence in the town. Wonderful young men and women. I see the planes flying overhead frequently. (I work in the town and live about 18 miles away.) Tragic. Makes ne so angry.
The other one is from Beckley. I’ll be driving through there tomorrow. May stop at Tamarack again.

‘It’s Not Going to Be a Recovery’: Father of National Guard Shooting Victim Reveals
One day after a targeted shooting near the White House critically injured two newly sworn-in National Guardsmen, the father of 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom revealed that she is unlikely to survive her injuries. According to the New York Times, Gary Beckstrom said his daughter was unlikely to survive. “I’m holding her hand right now,” he told the outlet by phone. “She has a mortal wound. It’s not going to be a recovery.”
Sworn in Less Than 24 Hours Prior to the Attack
According to U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeannine Pirro, Beckstrom and 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe were both uniformed members of the West Virginia National Guard, deployed under President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at securing the nation’s capital. Both soldiers had been sworn in less than 24 hours prior to the attack.

This is very sad. I will say a prayer for her and her family.
First I’d seen it reported that it wouldn’t be survivable, though I suspected as much when I learned even a very few details. The killer was ruthless. Both victims were only sworn into service within 24 hours, too. Incredibly sad.
Conflicting reports…

[Time-Stamped Start] Stephen A. Smith Hyperbolic Comments on President Trump and Senator Kelly, (the Six), etc.
Stephen A. is a grifting idiot trying to play both sides for money and fame. only my opinion but don’t trust him at all.
To be clear, I wasn’t advocating. Only informing with this post. Stephen A. is often controversial. I think he is often offered to much deference. Still, he has a following and does influence a certain crowd…
I was just making an observation and giving my opinion. He has a large following which makes it important we watch him. I like all the work you do here flyinpiglet and appreciate all the news you post.
