BERKS COUNTY PATRIOTS General Meeting Thursday August 21st
“Nearly 2 million who were awarded the medal.
BERKS COUNTY PATRIOTS
Honors, Remembers and Thank
those service members
who were wounded or killed
by an instrument of war
in the hands of an enemy
or
while prisoners of war.
YESTERDAY, August 7th was National Purple Heart Day,
President Donald Trump recognized nearly 100 recipients of the Purple Heart at the White House on Thursday August 7th, including three service members who gave him their own medals after an attempt on his life at a Pennsylvania campaign rally. President Trump had special words for the trio of veterans who sent Trump their medals after the 2024 shooting in Butler. Trump said the trio, “showed me the same unbelievable gesture of kindness.”
Trump then mentioned the attempt on his life then added, “you went through a lot more than I did, and I appreciate it very much.”
The purple color of the medal and the heart represent the bloodshed, and the medal features a bust of George Washington, the nation’s first president and the general who led American forces against the British in the Revolutionary War.
Although National Purple Heart Day is not a federal holiday….
Maybe it should be!!

#1 NEWS STORY No end in sight for rising energy bills in Pennsylvania
Aug 1, 2025
A perfect storm of factors is expected to hike prices even higher in the years to come.
#2 NEWS STORY The False Promise of Carbon Capture as a Climate Solution
The Carbon Reduction Program (CRP) or as I like to say the (CRPT) The COST& RAISE PEOPLE’S TAXES and take YOUR underground LAND.
In July 2024, Governor Josh Shapiro signed SB 831
There are plans already to close these underground geological storage formations in the near future and to monitor them. WHY? Are they dangerous? YEP! What if they start to leak, will we have another Centralia that is near-ghost town in Columbia County, Pennsylvania.
Many decades are still needed to accurately test its livelihood over longer periods of time. Storage facilities must be meticulously monitored to prevent leaks from old or faulty wells.
-
Not in my backyard – People not wanting huge pipelines near homes… TOO LATE,
-
PLANS for a huge pipeline to go through Berks County already.
And they will be right below your houses in the community.
The Carbon Reduction Program (CRP) establishes permitting requirements for carbon sequestration projects and establishes ownership and liability guidelines for CO2 storage.Are those liability laws for you the citizens and owners of your house?
It should stay for hundreds of years as gas regulating storage facilities, but will it leak out?
Why then are wiil there be long-term monitoring and management of a closed storage facility if it so safe?.
AND THIS WILL COST YOU MORE AND REDUCE your wallet for NO GOOD REASON except to take your land and possibly kill you!
CSS relies entirely on the underground, long-term storage of carbon; however this can’t always be 100% guaranteed.
AND WHO PROFITS FROM ALL THIS?

Babcock and WilCox

#3 NEWS STORY Ukrainian Drones STRIKE Russian Boat - Then THIS Happened…
For more information CLICK HERE
At dawn on June 24, 2025, a Russian landing craft loaded with troops
raced toward Kherson’s shore—completely unaware it had been tracked for 27 minutes by a Bayraktar TB2 drone orbiting 18,000 feet above.
What followed wasn’t just another drone strike. It was a surgical elimination of a Russian special operations team, caught mid-mission and carrying demolition gear intended for targets deep in Ukrainian territory.

WE THE PEOPLE of these United States are a society that is managed by self-rule. We are a nation for the People, by the People and of the People.
May we all be reminded that peace is the highest aspiration of the American people.
And America will retain sufficient strength to prevail PEACE if need be.
Our biggest weapon to maintain that strength is not in guns and bombs but the will and moral courage of free men and woman.

We are a nation under God and we believe God intended for us to be free.

Do you have
The right to bear arms?
Does the 2nd Amendment actually say,…”shall not be infringed,” or does that word “INFRINGED” mean something else?
In modern times was the Second Amendment envisioned by the framers of the Constitution to be an individual’s Right to Carry and use Arms for self-defense?

Freedom of Religion
Is it really a Right?
Why does the U.S. government put so many restrictions on what a Pastor, Preacher, Minister or Rabbi can or cannot say about politics during a Sunday or Saturday service? Does the 1st Amendment say ” MAY NOT impose nor place undue restrictions on religious practices,”
I think the government does not know the meaning of undue restrictions. What do you think?
