Listen to American Minute
Senior Allied commanders celebrate at Rheims shortly after General Eisenhower had addressed the German mission who had just signed the unconditional surrender document.
American Minute from William J. Federer
World War II ended in Europe on MAY 7, 1945, when German emissaries met at General Dwight Eisenhower‘s Headquarters, a schoolhouse in Reims, France, and signed an unconditional surrender.
The War in Europe lasted five and half years, costing millions of lives.
After the war, Eisenhower was elected the 34th President by the largest number of votes in history.
In remarks broadcast from the White House as part of the American Legion “Back-to-God” Program, February 7, 1954, President Eisenhower stated:
“As a former soldier, I am delighted that our veterans are sponsoring a movement to increase our awareness of God in our daily lives.
“In battle, they learned a great truth-that there are no atheists in the foxholes.
“They know that in time of test and trial, we instinctively turn to God for new courage…
Whatever our individual church, whatever our personal creed, our common faith in God is a common bond among us.”
At the next year’s “Back-to-God” Program, February 20, 1955, Eisenhower stated:
“Without God, there could be no American form of Government, nor an American way of life. Recognition of the Supreme Being is the first – the most basic – expression of Americanism.”

This is a very interesting and telling interview from Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) of IRS Commissioner Steven Miller over the Obama Administration scandal involving IRS harassment of Tea Party and other conservative groups. I don't know why Kelly isn't trying to extend an olive branch. Why isn't he trying to find common ground? Why isn't he trying to persuade this guy to see things his way? Why is he being so mean?
The front: homosexual marriage. The end: schoolchildren. This week, Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton (labeled one of America’s worst senators by TIME) signed homosexual marriage legislation into un-law after the un-lawful House and Senate approved it. In concert these branches of the Minnesota government have proven themselves to be in defiance against the laws of Nature and Nature’s God, as found in the Declaration of Independence.
Sarah Hall Ingram, the woman in charge of the IRS during it's high period of harassment of Tea Party and other conservative groups, is now going to be running ObamaCare. Joseph Grant, the IRS commissioner who became the fall guy for the Obama Administration in this scandal, is just a patsy. He was going to be done with the job in less than a month anyway, and he wasn't in charge during the time when the IRS was busy muzzling Tea Party groups.
“We were simply doing what our bosses ordered.” So say the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) employees in Cincinnati who were charged with targeting tea party and other conservative groups with improper and invasive scrutiny, according a Fox19 in Cincinnati exclusive report on May 15. If true, this seemingly contradicts a Treasury Inspector General report on the matter released earlier that day.
Hillary Clinton has successfully regained popularity (and a following) after doing or saying something totally stupid -- like the "under sniper-fire lie" during the campaign. However, I'm betting it is not going to be so easy for Obama and his friends to come out of the present scandals that, among many things, involve lies told to the American people.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964 |
