Here’s something I shared a few years ago. And today it’s fairly appropriate to share it again. Yeah, apparently the number 3 is a charm, full of all kinds of magical powers. Just so you know, I’m not talking about the search for the secret keys to the universe. That’s something Nikola Tesla talked about. He figured those keys could be found by thinking … Read the rest…

I just scanned two or three dozen social media posts that all sounded almost identical. And they all said something similar to this: On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes as America’s flag. So, as of Flag Day 2025, it’s been a symbol of freedom, patriotism, and strength for 248 years. Wow, Flag Day 2025 marks nearly 2 1/2 … Read the rest…
