All good things must come to an end

Greetings Fellow Patriots! As we know, Tuesday November 5th is "Election" Day which is really a misnomer since the enemy has transformed it to "Let the fraud begin" Day. We're witnessing the final battle for America and by extension, a battle for the entire free world. President Trump has repeatedly said "Nothing can stop what's coming" and I believe him. However, I want to add that whether it's President Trump or whether it's "We the People", we CANNOT allow the destruction to our Country by the enemy to continue should a transfer of power not occur and should President Trump not take charge on January 20th 2025. This means that we MUST retake control of our Country and in order to do so, we're up to box 4, meaning when the soap box, the ballot box and the jury box fail, the fourth and final box is the ammo box, and we CANNOT go silently into the night. I was part of Overpasses for America going back to 2012, protesting to raise awareness of Obama being a CIA plant and how critical it was to get him out of office. I've been pounding the streets and the keyboard to bring awareness for a dozen years, all while the enemy has become more emboldened and our Country has become a disaster. We've been attacked from every angle for longer than most know to this day. So let's do ALL WE CAN DO to continue to support President Trump, and let's hope he really does have a "White Hat Organization" behind him that will prevail in taking control on January 20th, 2025. But if President Trump is unsuccessful, it's time for us to organize, mobilize and take our Country back. We know who and where our enemies are, and at this point, for the future of our Country, our children and our grandchildren, the enemies need to be eliminated, and "We the People" are absolutely capable of doing so. This site will remain up until a peaceful transfer of power is accomplished, at which time we will reassess. God Bless ALL my fellow Patriots, and God Bless America!

UNCLE SAM

On September 7, 1813, the United States gets its nickname, Uncle Sam. The name is linked to Samuel Wilson, a meat packer from Troy, New York, who supplied barrels of beef to the United States Army during the War of 1812. Wilson (1766-1854) stamped the barrels with “U.S.” for United States, but soldiers began referring to the grub as “Uncle Sam’s.” The local newspaper picked up on the story and Uncle Sam eventually gained widespread acceptance as the nickname for—and personification of—the U.S. federal government.

In the late 1860s and 1870s, political cartoonist Thomas Nast (1840-1902) began popularizing the image of Uncle Sam. Nast continued to evolve the image, eventually giving Sam the white beard and stars-and-stripes suit that are associated with the character today. The German-born Nast was also credited with creating the modern image of Santa Claus as well as coming up with the donkey as a symbol for the Democratic Party and the elephant as a symbol for the Republicans. Nast also famously lampooned the corruption of New York City’s Tammany Hall in his editorial cartoons and was, in part, responsible for the downfall of Tammany leader William Tweed, alongside former New York City mayor Fiorello La Guardia who ran his platform on ending Tammany Hall and its corrupt practices.

Perhaps the most famous image of Uncle Sam was created by artist James Montgomery Flagg (1877-1960). In Flagg’s version, Uncle Sam wears a tall top hat and blue jacket and is pointing straight ahead at the viewer. During World War I, this portrait of Sam with the words “I Want You For The U.S. Army” was used as a recruiting poster. The image, which became immensely popular, was first used on the cover of Leslie’s Weekly in July 1916 with the title “What Are You Doing for Preparedness?” The poster was widely distributed and has subsequently been re-used numerous times with different captions.

In September 1961, the U.S. Congress recognized Samuel Wilson as “the progenitor of America’s national symbol of Uncle Sam.” Wilson died at age 87 in 1854, and was buried next to his wife Betsey Mann in the Oakwood Cemetery in Troy, New York, the town that calls itself “The Home of Uncle Sam.”
