Thanks for sharing the video of jewel I really don’t see why people were fussing about it ? They probably be happy with something like this ... 🤦‍♀️ https://youtu.be/Gl_HRy7bYLI

JEWEL National Anthem: There are federal guidelines on how/when to display the American Flag, and how it is not to be used in clothing, decorations, etc. The same goes for conduct during the performance of the National Anthem (kneeling is NOT on the list). HOWEVER, I can find no such guidelines on instrumental or vocal performances of our National Anthem, other than the original lyrics and score must be used. It seems the artist has freedom in their interpretation. That means a ten year-old, a retired Veteran, and, yes, even a gross comedian with no singing voice, may perform it. My issue is that, 90% of the time, the PERFORMER is the center of attention, and not the "land of the free and the home of the brave." I remember an interview with a master violinist; he was asked; to what did he attribute his great success? He replied "It took me ten years to master the violin, and it's taken the rest of my life to learn what NOT to play." Jewel and Rosanne would do well to follow that lead!

The boycott thing is reverse psychology. It actually hurts our neighbors and good hard working people that work for these companies. Its baked in our culture( companies). Which is really what they want to erase. Think of the job losses. Truck drivers, cashiers, salesmen, ect. No culture of america, easier to take down. All planned by the UN and others. The higher ups at these companies recieve alot of money to do this. Think DEI and Carbon Credit Scores. They do not care! They have to do it. Maybe a nationwide walkout of jobs? I don't know but this is all fishy as hell. Something to think about.

Nothing worth while is easy. Has one employee of Anheuser Busch been fired? No they have not but the loss in revenue has made them back pedal. That is how boycotts work. The corporations are doing this because of ESG. People should be more concerned about the illegals flooding this country and big corporations hiring them at cheaper wages than what they pay Americans. That is the real threat to our jobs.

Before 2020 i used to watch a lot of pro sports. rule of thumb for a big league team was that you always wanted to have a strong singer doing the national anthem. the idea of jewel getting that assignment is a joke. here's a good one from back in the day :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l86Av14bujo

My personal copy with highlights and foot notes is a better resource. I actually read it and highlighted the egregious parts and also added notes that provide additional information. Thanks for sharing the link but if you are interested in my copy send me an email. karen.bracken@reagan.com

David Martin is a distraction. Touch of the Malones about him.

Well nothing would surprise me but so far I cannot find anything yet. Malone is a different story. There is a ton of crap out there about him that he cannot deny. Instead he just sues people that try to expose him. If you have anything to share about Dr. Martin I would love to see it. Thanks.

Indeed politics seems to offer no avenue of trust or any remedies. They are certainly after our kids. Going to continue to be a long deadly seige.

...as regards the climate indoctrination of kids what we need are clones of Dane Wigington...thats how serious this is...and send them to every nook and cranny in the USA (for a start) to remove the propagandized veil from before their eyes and oust this diabolical fallacy which is impure fantasy from the saturated grooves already forming in not just children's but also adult's brains. As an 'intellectual' exercise or distraction try googling an enquiry to the effect 'show me one carbon emission'...i mean when u demmand an example of one carbon emission there's 'virtually' nothing turns up...the term nothing providing an interesting key to the unravelling of this apparent mystery, one which google certainly chooses to ignore. The challenge to these climate change protesters is show me one fkn carbon emission, a 'tangible' representation i can relate to? It's a bit up in the air isn't it, like covid really!...🤔😨🥲...

I agree. Home education is the safe place for kids to flourish.

Oh yes I heard it but there is no comparison to what Barr did and how Jewel presented the song. Even Whitney Houston changed it up a bit and her rendition was and still today is considered one of the best.
