Sorry I’ve been absent a few days… went to Key West with my momma & sister for a much needed girls trip & tried to stay away from technology/politics as much as possible. It was awesome.
I gotta tell you, the first 2 weeks of this year, were so intense, that I was struggling to find a peaceful moment to where I could form a clear rationale thought. The news, the tweets, the trolls, the censorship, the capital, people relying on the MSM as their news source, the 6th in general… too much shit to process thoroughly. And worse than not finding any peaceful-moments, I was struggling to believe in the base of patriotism in our country.
For those that follow me, probably know a few things about me (in no particular order).
1. I’m super cool & witty. 😂
2. I love my family, especially my little terrorist-children.
3. I’m pretty darn country.
4. I like to work hard/play hard.
5. I like to shoot guns.
6. I don’t like anyone (especially the government or Karen’s) telling me (or anyone else for that matter) what to do or how to live.
7. I appreciate & respect all walks of life, all the different ways people do life, and all points of view about politics/life ….but my friends have grown to understand that I will always feel comfortable roaring about my beliefs (with minimal interest in their opinions of my beliefs😂).
8. I love President Trump.
9. I believe in God.
10. I love the United States of America.
So anywho, last week, we rolled into my favorite badass little town, known to be relatively liberal-leaning. In fact, the first night we hung out with locals, and they warned us to not talk about our support for Trump with anyone.
Well, as I already mentioned, I don’t like being told what to do….
So we mentioned it, in almost every restaurant & bar we visited.
And I’ll tell you, every single group of folks we met (& there were a ton, because everyone loves my momma, aka Spring Break Barbara) were Trumpers.
On top of that, the owners/singers in Irish Kevin’s were so pro-America & pro-military! Everything about this tourist bar filled me with pride! They have a tv on the wall flipping through veterans pictures/bios, they have a gigantic American flag hanging from the ceiling, and every singer individually points out & thanks every active duty/veteran during their set. This bar, that I’ve patronized almost yearly since I was stationed in Key West back in 2002, completely restored my faith in true patriotism. This was exactly what I needed—-a patriotic recharge!
One particular singer, Trenton Chandler, had us all “stand on our feet, take our caps off, place our hand over our heart, and say the Pledge of Allegiance.” He followed it with singing “Courtesy of the Red, White, & Blue”…. and concluded with a “USA”-chant. Each time he did it, the crowd was crazy.
My favorite of all his words that day, just as we were getting ready to say the Pledge of Allegiance was: “Everyone look around and make note of who in here is choosing not to stand, that tells you all you need to know about them.”
God Bless, Trenton Chandler.
God Bless, Irish Kevin’s!
God Bless, Trump!
And God Bless, America!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
