Today is George Washington’s real birthday, yet Monday was originally set aside by Congress as a day legally designated to remember the birthday of Washington. However, that day has become more popularly known as President’s Day, and it has become implied that the holiday means more than one president is being honored; and in all likelihood, it is perhaps all of the presidents who are fully entitled to be honored on such a day. Most people seem to realize that it would seem to be a bit of a stretch to include the likes of Millard Fillmore, Chester A. Arthur, or Grover Cleveland on such a holiday. Yet the holiday has been successfully watered down the original intent, as well as respect for the truly great individual who epitomizes the character that had stood out in the birth of our nation.
There are two primary messages in this edition today: one to honor George Washington as it is, after all, his birthday. How does America remember Washington anyway? Is he still honored? Not by the radical left, and less and less appreciated by the future generations. Many young Americans have not been taught more comprehensively or honestly about George Washington, and do not know this Founder as the Father of America. Washington had helped to forge a land honoring Freedom from a tyrannical government that had little regard for the citizens in his time.
I wrote the article I offer here for Washington’s birthday this year and it has been posted in Canada Free Press.
The second message is from Michael Lewinski, who writes about the current POTUS and his actions related to the Palestinians who are in the U.S. and rioting against Israel and even now against Biden, himself. The two articles provide brief looks at two different presidents from two entirely different times. Since we are in an election year, it would be good to reflect on the real traits of a genuine leader who was so willing to sacrifice so much to help give birth to a land where freedom could grow.
Our hope is that the message centering around Mr. Washington may provide a more relevant view of this great American. And since we are in an election year, American citizens who love this country should consider not just reflecting, but electing a POTUS who does love America and who would do the right thing for the nation and for the world in relation to the defense and preservation of Freedom for all people. Such sincere reflection beyond the realm of the clatter and noise of the political propaganda could make for a more genuine election.
As a brief reminder, the Coalition for a Principled Republic conceived our prototype of a new newsletter and began distributing the CPR Lifeline Advisory newsletter on Substack in February. So, we are in our second year of posting the newsletter. The newsletter was launched in the aftermath of many attacks on the Citizen Sentinels Network website from 2020 to December of 2022. When the Citizen Sentinels Network migrated to Substack, many readers did not cross that bridge; yet, we are happy that a good number of our readers kept with us during trying times. And, we hope our readers would consider all the messages in this edition as being relevant, or meaningful, and if readers know others who might value the newsletters as well, we pray they would consider becoming Citizen Sentinels and messengers and would please pass this newsletter on to those who would welcome it.

George Washington's True Birthday: Reason to Honor The Father of Our Country
By Dennis Jamison ——Bio and Archives--February 22, 2024
At the beginning of the week, Monday was celebrated by many Americans as “President’s Day.” However, it is a minor example of the major confusion existing within our nation and the desire of people to do whatever they want. In truth, Congress had designated the third Monday of the month of February to be a federal holiday to remember George Washington’s birthday. At this point, contemporary calendars will designate either holiday. Yet, most calendars depict this third Monday as “President’s Day.” To make it more confusing, other calendars refer to this day as “Presidents’ Day” (Note the apostrophes). The punctuation is simply a reflection of whether the holiday is a celebration of more than one president or all of the presidents together (somewhat like a “one size fits all” type of holiday.
It represents a misunderstanding of the original purpose of the day. However, celebrating all of the presidents in one big birthday extravaganza was not the intent behind the national holiday, and it was never given that name by the Congress which created the holiday. Originally, the day was established by Congress to honor the “Father of the Country,” George Washington. It was made official in a time, different from today, when men in Congress were reluctant to single any one individual out to celebrate their birthday. They did it for George Washington.
It is essentially so, since not all presidents are created equal. However, the day is considered Presidents’ Day and is a simple way of watering down respect for the truly great individual who epitomizes the character that had stood out in the birth of our nation. Some presidents were just politicians: perhaps just political hacks, or puppets performing the role their Party had set up for them. There are many that fit this description, especially the one residing in the White House presently. But, George Washington does stand out as truly great among all of these politicians.
Nevertheless, President’s Day was a fabrication of the business realm in cooperation with state and local governments to make a “President’s Day” holiday - a simple example of the concept of “federalism” in action. But, that may only work for creating holidays and not for the security of our national borders. It was a time definitely different from today. Essentially, Presidents’ Day evolved, or ‘devolved,’ into a one-size fits all celebration. Long ago, businesses took it upon themselves to celebrate such a holiday to increase sales in economic downturns, or to bolster sales in “celebration campaigns.”
States took it upon themselves to celebrate certain presidents to link the Party in power to former greatness, or to raise political awareness and promote candidates and donations for Party campaign coffers. It was a deviation from the original purpose of gratefully celebrating the birthday of a president who did not believe in the political parties as a healthy future for America. And look at us now…
Since it is an election year, it may be good to reflect on a leader who willingly sacrificed so much to help give birth to a nation where freedom could grow. Such reflection may also serve as a way to measure those who claim to be leaders today. Since today is truly George Washington’s birthday, not any other presidents, not a few presidents, not all presidents, but one president: the Father of our Country, it is not too much to wish George Washington a “Happy Birthday,” despite the current confusion, as well as corruption of current presidents.
Unfortunately, the nation has changed radically since the days of Washington and those of the founding generation. As Americans have lost touch with their heritage, they have also allowed a most dangerous theft of their inheritance as citizens of the Land of the Free. Today, citizens are unsure of their sovereignty, unschooled in the ways of civics, and unclear about those sacred rights that were secured through the sacrifice of blood in pursuit of the Land of the Free. One simply needs to consider that as George Washington was appointed by Congress to be the Commander of an army yet to be organized, they had no country they were fighting for. They fought for the Land of Freedom yet to be established. Such was their patriotism – not loyalty to flag or government establishment, but to Freedom itself.
George Washington was central to that fight for Freedom as he was totally dedicated to the foundation of Freedom that he helped to forge from a tyrannical government that also had little regard for the citizens of his day. His story has been told by many authors focusing on many aspects of the man or his mission to help conceive and give birth to the Land of Liberty. Sadly, it is possible that more than one generation of Americans have not been taught more honestly or comprehensively about George Washington, and do not know this founding father as the Father of America. It is best to study his words to know him and what he believed in and what he was willing to sacrifice his life for.
Washington was the embodiment of the sentiment expressed by Partick Henry as he boldly stated: “Give me Liberty or give me death!” This great leader inspired it in his men, as it is in our history that one of Washington’s spies, young Nathan Hale expressed in another way as he was hung by the British: “I regret that I have but one life to give for my country.” His love for the nation that was yet to be born is even more astounding as we look sincerely at his life today.
Washington was totally willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of the Land of the Free.
And look around now…
In light of this, we who love freedom, can do more that just wish George Washington a “Happy Birthday.” Despite the confusion and corruption, we are in an election year, and it would also be good to reflect on a genuine leader who was so willing to sacrifice so much to help give birth to a land where freedom could grow. Serious reflection today may serve as a way of measuring those included in the lineup who seek the position of POTUS, or those who claim to be real leaders. It is fitting that American citizens review again the reasons we have enjoyed freedom. Much of it is because of those patriots who were willing to fight to obtain it, or to defend it. This generation, as Ronald Reagan warned, may be the first to have so much and yet do so little to preserve the freedoms passed on to us by the ones who held a great deal more respect for Freedom than many do today. Washington’s legacy demands that we elect those who express love for this Land of the Free and are brave enough to risk their lives to preserve it.

President Biden: The Palestinian Scam
By Michael James Lewinski 2/18/24
In his latest move to seize the moral high ground, The great pretender, on Wednesday, issued an order to halt the deportation of Palestinians from the U.S. for 18 months. He is kissing Arab rings to make up for who is Aiding The Jewish state.
State Rep. Abraham Aiyash, whose ancestor murdered Jews, stood next to Biden bearcats smiling like a cheshire cat, wholly ignorant of what's going on in Gaza. This occurred because the President feared losing Michigan's electoral votes.
Biden, whom Progressives and other America-hating groups surround, is advising a pullback of military supplies. They lecture the Israeli government, telling them to pull out the reserves and have them return to work.
Biden's allies say it's time the Israelis stop leaching off American taxpayers. They want Israel to have a Palestinian government. Fortunately, the government told them no.
As you can see, Progressives are wholly out of touch with the American people. Isaeral is our greatest ally. The people support subsidizing the military. They recognize how much Israel contributes to America's security. Progressives have no problem lying. They don't believe in God and His Commandments.
We can do something to get rid of these evil Progressives. We can, in Indiana, elect Mike Braun as governor and either Kristi Risk or Dr. Richard Moss as the Congressman representing the 8th Congressional District. Congressman Jim Banks is running for a seat in the Senate. Mark Leyva is running for the 7th District seat.
In Arizona, Karrie Lake is running for the Senate. Senator Ted Kruze is running to be re-elected in Texas. Senator Rick Scott is running for re-election in Florida.
We have to petition our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, or whatever God you pray to, to look favorably on these candidates and President Trump. You must also contribute money and door-knocking to pass out literature and plant yard signs, man their offices, and make phone calls.
Michael J. Lewinski holds a masters degree in special education. As a competent teacher, he spent two decades of his life in the special education field, teaching special education classes at the junior and senior high school levels in Ohio and Indiana until his retirement in 2010. Michael Lewinski is also an historian and author of a historical political thriller: Dark Times: A Lockdown and a Call to Arms.
