THEY GAVE THEIR-ALL . . . MEN, WOMEN, THE DOGS & HORSES USED FOR WAR:
By The Millions – They Fought, Bled & Died So We Can Live In Freedom . . . So we can Argue, Debate & Press Forward to Make our Freedoms Worth Fighting-For . . . For That, There Can Be No Equal Compensation.
Not Only Do We Owe Them Greatly, We Own Them Everything . . . Because Without the Ultimate Sacrifice of those who Served, There Would Be No Us.
My Dad Served For 5-Years Overseas During WWII, While Wearing The Canadian Uniform. So Did His Three Brothers, And More Than A Million Other Canadians, As Did Americans, Brits, Aussies And Even The British Jewish Brigade, who were Amongst the First Soldiers Led by Patton’s Army to Storm the Beaches of Sicily, Months Before The Invasion Of Normandy.
We Owe It To Our Forefathers To Carry Their Torch – Or It Would Have Been In Vain.
I Have Never Been Asked, Tasked or Needed to Don a Uniform to Defend my Country, Since, from a Few Years Before I was Born (1950), my Father, Uncles and all the Other Brave Men & Women Guaranteed I Wouldn’t Have-To . . . But That Doesn’t Mean I & All Others Should Have A Free Ride To Do Nothing For Our Freedoms.
JFK SAID IT BEST . . .
“Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You . . . Ask What You Can Do For Your Country”.
WHAT HAS CHANGED BETWEEN NOW & 1881? – THE THUGS HAVE BETTER PR:
Just Because The Man Or Woman Is Dressed Better & Is More Polished In Verse Says Little.
“DEATH BY LIGHTNING” . . .
Anne & I Watched The 4-Part Mini-Series (Docudrama – Netflix – “Death By Lightning”) . . . On the Life & Death of James Garfield, America’s Accidental 20th President, Who Occupied the White House from March 4, 1881 Until His Death on September 19, 1881.
GARFIELD’S LIFE & DEATH SHOWS THE CONSTANT DEMAND FOR VIGILANCE:
“Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You . . .” Since We Are At Constant War, Even From Within.
Garfield’s Life & Death Is An Open Matter Of History, so I am Not Concerned About Ruining the Story for Anyone Wishing to Watch-It, which is Something I Highly Recommend, Since It Was A Wonderful, Historical, Illuminating & Poignant Production.
My Primary Takeaway From The Garfield Story, is How Corrupt & Arrogant Congress Was More than 144-Years Ago, which in Many Ways is No Different than How Congress is Today, With The Exception, that Today’s Politicians are Far More Sophisticated in Terms of Public Relation Savvy on How to Hide Who & What they Really are . . . And For What They Stand.
THE DEMOCRATS HELD AMERICA HOSTAGE WHILE BLAMING THE REPUBLICANS:
In The Past, The Democrats Would Get Away With Causing Mayhem, as they were Always Skillfully Able to Lay Blame on the Republicans for the Mess of their Own Making, which was Made Possible by a Willing Propagandized Mainstream Media, Coupled to the New Social Media (Google, YouTube, Twitter (X), Facebook – Etc) . . . Where Arm-In-Arm – They Created The LEFTIST Narrative Of Their Choosing.
HOISTED BY THEIR OWN PETARD:
Politics Is No Less Dirty Today – Than It Pretty-Much Was From The Beginning.
The Problem With Cheating, Lying & Corruption . . . Sooner or Later – it Comes Back to Bite the Guilty In-The-Ass, Very Often by the Same Bad Actors who Turn on a Dime from Perpetrator to Perpetrator.
All of a Sudden, the Truths About the Obama, Biden, Pelosi & RINO Administrations are Spewing Forth Like a Geyser, As The Crumbling LEFT Scrambles For Cover.
In A Free Society – There Is Always The Challenge Of Justifiable Retribution.
I’M IMPRESSED WITH JOHN THUNE & MIKE JOHNSON:
Harry Truman Said It Best . . . “If You Want A Friend In Washington – Buy A Dog”.
CONGRESS NEEDED NOT A DOG . . . CONGRESS NEEDED MEN OF CONVICTION:
John Thune . . . Republican Leader Of The Senate Held The Line, while Refusing to be Cowed by the Shenanigans of Schumer’s Democrat Senate – As Mike Johnson . . . Republican Speaker Of The House Refused To Take The Knee to Jeffries’ House Democrats, Even Though Johnson Oversees a Small Republican Majority of House Members.
In Spite Of All Trump’s Rhetoric & Executive Orders . . . None of it Would Have Come to Fruition Without the Stalwart Leadership of the Republican Senate & Republican House . . . Especially Under the Current Republican Leadership in the Senate . . . Post The Leadership Of Mitch McConnell.
IN OUR OWN INDIVIDUAL WAYS . . . WE MUST ALL BE WARRIORS!
“Take Up Our Quarrel With The Foe:
To You From Failing Hands We Throw
The Torch; Be Yours To Hold It High.
If Ye Break Faith With Us Who Die
We Shall Not Sleep, Though Poppies Grow
In Flanders Fields”.
“ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY . . . “
Thank You To Those Who Served & Continue To Serve . . .
Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

Many if not most of the thieving reprobates we call “politicians” are pathological liars whose only goal is to attain and retain power. If you want something to be done wrong, late and over budget, ask a gaggle of overpaid bureaucrats to do it; otherwise we’re far better to do it ourselves. In a moral universe these clowns would be derided as the Gang Who Couldn’t Shoot Straight. I ask my fellow Canucks, why do you constantly keep voting thieves like Trudeau and Carney back into power?
So true, Howard, we owe our lives and freedoms to them.
This morning, we had a moving ceremony at the Toronto Holocaust Museum for the 4ooo Jews who gave their lives to a better future. I hope it was not in vain. Andy Reti, Toronto
Agreed. In peace , citizens need to continue the fight of our ancestors, by learning just how fragile democracy can be , and vote accordingly. Its never a waste of time to vote for freedom and truth. Otherwise , war is often the consequence. May God bless all our brave warriors, who gave us that choice.
I will continue in prayer for better leadership!
Was quite surprised by Senator Thune, pleasantly surprised as in the past, he has leaned to the left.
Thank you Howard for another excellent commentary. Thanks to ALL Veterans and those who are currently serving to keep ALL of us safe and FREE!
G-d bless those veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice so we could live in freedom; & Bless their families, too. Sen. Thune has proven to be the leader we needed in the Senate, & Speaker Johnson has done a very good job letting the public know what is taking place (or not being done) in congress. Canada deserves fair and just leadership as does the USA. We patriots must help make that happen in Canada and in the USA.
Thune is a RINO. The difference between he and Mitch, Thune doesn’t have a guts to stab you in the back.
I really enjoyed Death by Lightning. Thanks for recommending it.
