The Washington Post reported that traitor Edward Snowden's latest release of classified information was the $52.6 billion "black budget" for fiscal 2013.

Albert Arnold Gore is spectacularly wrong. Again.

On his perpetual campaign trail, Barack Obama unveiled yet another government plan to make life better.

The most effective way to promote our timeless message of Liberty is by invitation to your family, friends and colleagues.

As is our custom, we take a much needed August break from the relentless schedule of deadlines each week.

No, this is not the regular edition of The Patriot Post, but that's because your Patriot Team members are on August recess. We'll be back with the best digest of news, policy and opinion on Monday, 12 August. But read on for some great news about big improvements in our email content.

Today marks the 237th birthday of our great nation. Let's celebrate the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Today is Armed Forces Day. We remain the proud and the free because these Patriots -- American Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coastguardsmen -- have stood bravely in harm's way and remain on post today. For this, we, the American people, offer our heartfelt thanks and prayers for you and your families.

Today is the National Day of Prayer.

In 1775, on the eve of Revolution, the First Continental Congress called for "a day of publick humiliation, fasting, and prayer." Indeed, our Founders saw a national day of prayer as a fitting observance.

Today in 1775, the first shots of the American Revolution were fired at Lexington, Massachusetts, when about 40 militiamen formed ranks against 700 British Red Coats on their way to Concord.

"Don't fire unless fired upon. But if they want a war let it begin here." --Captain John Parker, commander of the militiamen at Lexington, Massachusetts, on sighting British Troops

In some circles, today is observed as "Presidents' Day," jointly recognizing Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, but it is still officially recognized as the anniversary of "Washington's Birthday" -- and that is how we mark the date in our shop. (Washington's actual birthday is Feb. 22.)

February 6th marks the anniversary of President Ronald Wilson Reagan's birthday, a fitting occasion to honor the greatest president of the 20th century. The observance of this day provides a vital bond with our national heritage of Liberty, and those who have devoted their lives and fortunes to advance it. Long live the Reagan Revolution!

Former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, a Patriot from Texas and author of the outstanding book, "American Sniper," was killed Saturday while assisting fellow veterans suffering from PTSD. Chris served with the SEAL Team 3 Sniper Element Charlie platoon, and was the most lethal sniper in U.S. history, with 160 confirmed kills and another 95 probables. Kyle was a tireless defender of Liberty and the Second Amendment, and he will be sorely missed.

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the two most tragic Supreme Court decisions in American history, Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. Those decisions sparked a contentious debate between those who would deny that babies in the womb are worthy of legal protection, and those who rightly acknowledge that those babies constitute "life" as understood throughout history and affirmed in our Declaration of Independence. That right has been tragically denied to countless millions of unborn children who have been sacrificed on the altar of "choice" since 1973.

Today we mark the birth anniversary of Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson (1824-1863). Jackson died of pneumonia after being accidentally shot by his own men during the Battle of Chancellorsville in May 1863.
