When the weekend arrives, most people spend it relaxing, lounging and recovering from a week of hard work, especially for those who work six days out of the week. But for one 46-year-old business owner, that one day off is spent cleaning the tombstones of veterans.

For the last two and a half years, Andrew Lumish has spent every Sunday cleaning the gravestones of veterans in three different cemeteries in Tampa, Florida where he lives. The owner of a cleaning franchise, Lumish goes by the handle The Good Cemeterian on social media, where he posts photos of the more than 300 headstones he’s cleaned, along with details of the veterans buried there, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

Virginia native Joel Britts Myers was born on June 8th 1824 to John Adam Myers, and Elizabeth Britts… He had a single Brother and 3 Sisters…His Father provided for the family as a Miller… In 1830, The Myers Family left Virginia for a home on a farm in Montgomery County, Indiana… Joel’s Father operated his own mill… *Joel’s Paternal Grandfather, John Myers, was a Hessian from Hesse-Cassel hired by Louis Philippe and sent by King George III to aid in “putting down the Rebellion in America” during the American Revolution…. (“Hessians” is the term given to the 18th century German auxiliaries contracted for military service by the British government, which found it easier to borrow money to pay for their service than to recruit its own soldiers) *Following his arrival, John Myers deserted the British and joined Washington’s Army… He served as a wagon maker of one of the regiments at the Battle of Yorktown, Virginia… Succeeding the surrender of Lord Cornwallis, John continued to reside in the new world, became a farmer, married, and started a family… In 1844, Joel and 2 of his Brothers-in-law left Indiana for Ottumwa, Iowa (The city was platted the prior year after the Government purchased the territory from Native Americans) … They settled in Wapello County and erected the County’s first sawmill before other members of the family arrived…They named their business Myers, Armstrong & Coffin and cut most lumber that was used in building operations in Ottumwa during that time… On October 20th 1852, Joel Myers married Patience Davis… The couple had 3 Sons and 2 Daughters… The family moved to Illinois before 1865 and moved to Kansas prior to 1870… In 1885 Joel, Patience, and 2 of their children lived in Hillsborough County, Florida where Joel worked as a carpenter.... Joel Britts Myers passed away on August 2nd 1899 at the age of 75... Joel Britts Myers...Beloved Husband and Father...

'It's a death by a thousand cuts': Jordan Peterson on why staying silent is WORSE than facing the woke mob

Canadian clinical psychologist, author, and cultural firebrand Jordan Peterson is no stranger to cancel culture. Ever since he was thrust into the culture war, he has faced one controversy after another, stirred up by the woke elites who hate him with a passion. But although they have tried to make him pay for speaking out so fearlessly against their message, he refuses to back down and he believes you should, too. He joined "The Glenn Beck Podcast" this week to explain why.

"There is a growth of the reluctant hero in all stories ... so many people think that they don't have what it takes, that they're not the hero," Glenn said to Peterson. "How do you get people to recognize and then have the courage to stand? You've taken a beating ... why is it worth it and how do you get there?"

"I think it's worth it because I believe the alternative is worse ... to stay silent when you have something to say," Peterson replied. "You don't know what it is within you that requires your voice, right, because you feel like 'I have something to say.' Where does that come from exactly, that feeling that you have something to say?

"Maybe you're disgruntled at work and you're choking on your own bile because the situation is not just in your estimation," he continued. "You're dying to say something, but you won't. Well, you'll die if you don't say it. Maybe it's a death by a thousand cuts. I don't like deferred punishment. I'd rather take it now and keep the future clean, which is why I encourage people to have the fights now, not to hide things in the fog for later. They grow and metastasize. It's better to confront what you need to confront when it's small and you have some possibility of victory."

Bank of America warns of HYPERINFLATION 'at the very LEAST'

Top officials at the Federal Reserve are doing what they can to sugar coat what's ahead for our economy, telling Americans we may hit a "transitory" period of inflation that will settle by 2022. But Bank of America is saying something different. The bank's latest earnings call commentary warned "at the very least" transitory hyperinflation is ahead.

Watch the video clip below to hear Glenn Beck explain what this means for prices and for our economy.

WATCH: Race-Baiters Be Damned: 3 Big Lies About Racism DEBUNKED

Straight from the Marxist con of critical race theory are three big lies about "systemic racism" in America that are debilitating to our nation: the lie that policing in the U.S. is thoroughly racist, the lie of voter suppression, and the lie of equity as the solution to solve "racism." Despite the evidence disproving these lies, they grow stronger, thanks to Democrats and activists with selfish interest in these narratives, who, along with their media partners, spread the sinister message that everything in America is racist by default and only massive government intervention can save us from ourselves. President Biden, Vice President Harris, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi – every Democrat on the national stage sees racism in literally everything at this point.

In this precarious time for America, Glenn Beck and North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson join together with data and the truth to fight back against the race-baiters ripping us apart.

WARNING from a survivor: Is China’s horrific past America’s terrifying future?

America has always been the land of the free. But as the line fades between the socialist, woke Left, and the Democratic Party that controls our government, are we diving headfirst into Marxism?

On his BlazeTV exclusive show, Glenn Beck spoke with Li Schoolland, who grew up under Mao's cultural revolution in China, and never did she think she would see the same warning signs in America. But now, she has a horrifying warning for us all.
