'Snowbirds' Return To Whitewater A Sign Of The Seasons First, the sandhill cranes begin their journey, reminding us by their annual migration that summer is waning.

Then, soon after the autumn activities, thoughts turn to anticipation of holiday events such as the lighted boat parades in Arizona and California and, locally, to families and friends making...

This article was sent to us by one of our readers. This is amazing! It is no wonder there are scriptural references to the eagle. And, no wonder the bald eagle has such a significant symbolism to our country. What hope! Focus On Rebirth The eagle can live up to 70 years. But, to reach this age, an eagle has to make a hard decision. In its 40s, its long and flexible talons can no longer grab the prey that serves as its food. Its long and sharp beak becomes bent. Its old-age and heavy wings, due... Full story
If you stop and think about it, the days of the wild west aren’t that far behind us, and Arizona used to be wild as all get-out. Miners, ranchers, and sheep herders didn’t always get along well, and of course there have always been jilted lovers and jealousy, especially back when women were fairly scarce on the ground! So it’s no wonder that Arizona has so many haunted places! And in addition to those ghostly spots, we’ve got a lot of ghost towns in various stages of ruin that can be fun to visi... Full story
Washington, D.C. -- Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-09), issued the following statement after the House Foreign Affairs Committee released a report detailing the findings from a three-year long investigation into the deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021: "The report detailing the disastrous Afghanistan troop withdrawal confirms what I've said for three years: the incompetent Biden-Harris administration left over $80 billion of the best military equipment to our sworn enemies. Worse,... Full story
Note - This article was found on facebook. In September of 2005, on the first day of school, Martha Cothren, a History teacher at RobinsonHigh School in Little Rock, did something not to be forgotten. On the first day of school, with the permission of the school superintendent, the principal and the building supervisor, she removed all of the desks in her classroom. When the first period kids entered the room they discovered that there were no desks. 'Ms. Cothren, where are our desks?' She... Full story
The original "Old Glory" was owned by sea captain William Driver. Old Glory is a nickname for the flag of the United States. The original "Old Glory" was a flag owned by the 19th-century American sea captain William Driver (March 17, 1803 – March 3, 1886), who flew the flag during his career at sea and later brought it to Nashville, Tenn., where he settled. Driver greatly prized the flag and ensured its safety from the Confederates, who attempted to seize the flag during the American Civil W... Full story
We never tire of reminding boaters to wear their life jackets, ideally the entire time they are out on the water. PFDs are no longer bulky, unattractive, and ill-fitting. Now they are comfortable, come in many styles, even colors, and some of the kid's jackets are nothing short of "cute and fun to wear". If you are new to life-jacket shopping, check with the Coast Guard or its Auxiliary, Arizona Game & Fish Department, and the National Safe Boating Council. Another good resource are the members...

We thought they were coming in just to help balance the voting. Wonder still why all those young (military age) men without children or wives are taking on the task of traveling all those miles posing as refugees . But don't worry. All they want to do is ruin your way of life and/or kill you. Just for fun, let's do the math: 52 tons of guns & ammo. Let's just say that 10 tons or 20,000 pounds is ammo. That leaves 42 tons or 84,000 pounds of automatic weapons. Let's guess that an automatic... Full story

The term "Roger that" is a widespread term for confirmation, either between truckers on their CB radios, kids playing back and forth with walkie-talkies, or even face to face. But it's easy to adopt the phrase and understand what it means without ever really knowing where it came from. So here's a (very) brief history for your edification. "Roger" comes from the phonetic alphabet used by military and aviation personnel during WWII, when the use of two-way radios became a main form of... Full story
In February 1944, an American soldier discovered a Yorkshire terrier dog in an abandoned trench in the jungles of New Guinea, which received the nickname "Smokey". It was owned by Ohio corporal William Wynn, who bought it from the soldiers for two Australian pounds. For the next two years, Smokey was with her master in the Pacific theater of operations. The dog participated in 12 air and sea rescue and photo reconnaissance missions. During these operations, Smokey was often under fire in a... Full story
Like someone once said, "you just can't make this idiocy up". Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night." So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job. Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies. Then Congress said, "... Full story
Publisher's Note - Reading this from Bill O'Reilly reminded me of how often I have felt frustrated because as he says below "millions of Americans simply don't care". How can they not care when the world is losing the best chance it has ever had to improve? Difficult Times By: Bill O'Reilly January 30, 2024 As the presidential election of 2024 begins to unfold, America finds itself in a bad place. Yes, political leadership is dubious, but it is a profound lack of trust that is truly eroding the... Full story
From Tim Rafferty [TimRafferty@cox.net] Did you know that in 2021 the bureaucrats at the CDC (Center for Disease Control) claimed that there were 21,000 firearms related fatalities in the US? After making this statement, the CDC soon thereafter declared that the fabricated term, "gun violence" (its people violence stupid) is now a health-related issue, thus justifying their position to jump into the anti-gun frenzy. Okay....so why is a government agency tasked with identifying and eradicating... Full story

She's a beauty, a true Miss America: our American flag. Over the years she has received many tributes, many salutes, and many dedicated to serving her. Sadly, she has also received threats, angry demonstrations, hate speech, and disrespect. I wonder today how those in the latter group would feel if they were simply asked to leave, were stripped of the advantages of belonging to this nation. Would they embrace a new residence/citizenship in a country that denies them the basic rights enshrined... Full story

All of the services have nicknames for the other services and their members. It’s all part of the well-intentioned harassment we provide each other free of charge. For example, Navy personnel are referred to as ”squids”, “ducks” or “Marine chauffeurs”. Army as just mostly “grunts boys”. Air Force as “airdales” or “bus drivers”. Space force As “space cadets”. Marines as “soldiers of the sea”, “leathernecks”, “jarheads” and “Devil Dogs”. But, where do these come from? NAVY: Squids & Ducks are ass... Full story

A camouflage shortage in the Marine Corps will lead to service members wearing less regulated uniforms in the near future. In an Instagram video, Commandant Gen. Eric Smith addressed service members’ concerns over an inability to find and purchase woodland-patterned “cammies” in an ongoing manufacturing shortage. He announced that as the problem continues, local members will be allowed to wear alternate uniforms contrary to Marine standards....

Patriot, I think we can all agree: this is really getting out of hand... The Deep State is now declaring war on our America First movement. Crooked Joe has summoned a "war crimes prosecutor" to join the special counsel to try and imprison me for life as an innocent man. By adding a "war crimes" prosecutor to the Biden special counsel team, the Left is trying to send a message and make an example out of me... ...They want to show the nation that these are the consequences of choosing to put a...
