THE GREAT AMERICAN RESTORATION TOUR #6 WAS THE RESTORATIVE JOLT I NEEDED!

THE DRAGON ENERGY WAS PALPABLE AS WE CELEBRATED A HARD WON VICTORY!

Brian encouraged me to attend GART 6 (The Great American Restoration Tour) with him in November of 2024 just after I’d relocated to Lakeland Florida in mid October to be closer to family after some recent health issues.

I agreed to accompany him remembering my very positive experience at GART 3 in Dallas back in April.

We were both highly hopeful from what we were seeing on X and from other #AmericaFIRST Soul Warriors including many Badlanders that Donald Trump was going to achieve what I’ve called the triple threat.

The Presidency along with a GOP Dominated House & Senate.

This coupled with a Constitutional minded Supreme Court majority would put Trump, Elon, RFK Jr and all of their allies in an amazing position to effect REAL positive change for America’s long suffering people.

And Lo, it came to pass!

AND THERE WAS MUCH REJOICING!!

GART 6 in Myrtle Beach was no exception! Everyone was so thankful and energized by Donald Trump’s over-the-top landslide victory taking both the electoral win and the popular vote many of us were still walking on Cloud Nine.

The 10 hour drive up to GART was a very pleasant road trip filled with us chatting and me enjoying the sights as Brian focused on driving. (He used his phone to read my speech via an amazing caption software)

This particular trip and our long conversation may be the most we’ve ever talked in person for several decades. In our three day relocation drive from Texas to Florida we’d been in our own cars and our conversations in the hotels had been short and perfunctory, as we were worn out from hours on the road.

So this was ten hours very well spent.

We were going to stay at the Holiday Inn Express, called The Beach just 8 minutes from the venue which was the swanky Embassy Suites by Hilton so arriving and checking in just after 6 PM we then headed over to the VIP Dinner.

It didn’t help that by 7 PM that evening the weather was rainy and quite cold, about 45 degrees.

I’d packed a nice anorak style windbreaker but had left it at our hotel thinking I’d be fine as the Dinner was supposed to be indoors

It WAS indoors..

The dinner was at the Black Drum Brewing Restaurant just across the street and even though I’m now much healthier than when I was at GART in Dallas in April, as well as mostly recovered from my medical distress in October I was still paying for years of sedentary laziness as I struggled to walk even moderate distances.

Brian looked worried but I was thankfully in much better condition thanks to his insistence I walk at least 1,000 steps every day barefoot in his backyard basking in the Florida sun.

By the time we left for GART I was doing 1,500 steps and the only reason I’d stop wasn’t being tired, it was from overheating from the bright Florida sun.

We attended the Dinner happy to see familiar faces and to make the acquaintance of new ones.

The restaurant atmosphere was outstanding and the buffet style dinner upstairs was quite good and I enjoyed the first beer I’d had in a very long time.

I had several great moments talking with Ghost of Based Patrick Henry (GBPH) and Lt. General Steve Kwast about the amazing opportunities this Trump victory was going provide as well as their relief I’d survived my ridiculous attempt at self diagnosis in October.

Jon Herold was the on site Emcee of the event and he seemed to be everywhere at once that night.

We returned to our hotel well satisfied and eager for GART to kick off Saturday morning at 10 AM.

The next three days were exactly what I wanted and had come to expect.

The format was familiar to me, there were panels of 3-5 Badland Streamers discussing how best to capitalize on the awesome Trump victory we’d been diligently working towards for so many years.

No one was talking as if it was time to throttle down and rest on our laurels… assuming all of the heavy lifting had been done.

No, the heavy lifting on our part was just beginning.

Everyone recognized an incredible opportunity for REAL AND ACTUAL CHANGE in the way our government is run had occurred and we had to use every iota of our influence and capability make sure this chance was not derailed or squandered.

The panels were usually just over an hour long with short breaks in between.

There were ten panel discussions in all over the three days with Question & Answers included from Attendees.

My absolute favorite was the one on DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency)

held on Saturday.

I absolutely loved this panel. Zack Paine, Patriots in Progress, Ashe In America, Brad Zerbo and my unashamed Man-Crush Burning Bright!

Every panel offered unique insights into their topics of discussion and reinforced why Badlands Media is growing in popularity and influence online as Americans are hungry for real world, common sense information and past tired of Legacy Media’s gaslighting BS are gravitating to Badlands thanks to Rumble and word of mouth.

Here is the list of those ten panel topics:

The only events Brian & I didn’t attend were Friday’s Welcome Party & Dancing as well as Saturday’s Devolution POWER HOUR as we were both in bed by that time.

Every Morning before GART began from 8 AM to 10 AM an awesome Breakfast Buffet was provided that was all you can eat.

I loaded up on scrambled eggs and crispy bacon and their cubed, hash brown potatoes were so good they didn’t need the usual ketchup.

Sadly, Brian & Roxane Towner-Watkins were watching me like Hawks so anything I brought to our table they objected to was CONFISCATED.

I did manage to get four bites of a lovely strawberry style shortcake before it was taken from me…

I’d like to say I took their hovering and objections in stride… but really we all laughed about it.

We thoroughly enjoyed all three days as the panels were well rounded and I found several of the Q & A sessions highly instructive.

I think it was Zack Paine who asked the audience how many were attending their first GART?

Hands went up EVERYWHERE in the room!

Over one third of the GART Attendees were first timers!

I looked at all of the raised hands in delighted surprise as I saw Jon’s jaw drop, eyes going wide!

What an amazing indicator that BADLANDS MEDIA is growing in popularity and viewership!

This was my second GART and I’m sure to attend many more during Trump’s Golden Term, as Badlanders continue to work to make #MAGA and #AmericaFIRST a lasting reality for ourselves, our children and the blessed generations that follow us.

If you’ve been thinking about attending a GART I encourage you to invest your time & money to go. You will find yourself among some of the most amazing people in Trump’s Movement forging memories you can cherish for a lifetime.

The next Great American Restoration Tour is scheduled for Las Vegas on March 6th through the 9th, 2025. (BTW, March 6th is Brian’s & my birthday!)

Brian & I are looking into going by Train.

I wonder how much the economy will have improved under Trump’s steady, guiding hand by then?

Time shall certainly tell.

Until next time, Folks, #Stay AMERICAN!
