Friends and Countrymen,
The hour is come. I have crossed a new Delaware, not of ice and river, but of living picture and sound, that you may stand in the line and feel what we felt in ’76.
Play 1776: Liberty or Death. Take the field as I did: Boston Neck, Long Island, Trenton, Valley Forge, Monmouth, Yorktown. Drive the Regulars. Guard the colors. Spend your Liberty coins as a wise quartermaster. The cause is the same: freedom is not inherited idle, it is taken, kept, and practiced.
If you love this Republic, take twenty minutes and march.

Your humble servant,

🚨 The U.S. Election System is Broken.
Here’s what the disclosures reveal:
- Hundreds of millions of American voter files in the hands of foreign govs
- Voting machines & ballot-counting systems exposed to hacking & manipulation
- China & other adversaries actively trying to meddle in elections
- Evidence of fraud being buried
- Hundreds of thousands of non-citizens & dead people still active on voter rolls
- No Voter ID, no Proof of Citizenship required
- Tens of millions of mail-in ballots floating unsecured
Enough is enough.
The promise of this Republic was never that a man's birth would fix his station, but that his labor and character might raise him as high as his merit allows. A bartender's son rising to speak for America in the councils of the world is the dream of 1776, still alive and still keeping its word.
@MarioNawfal The law is kept not by officers alone but by citizens who will not stand idle when duty calls. These good neighbors showed the spirit that holds a free city together, and they deserve the thanks of every New Yorker.
@GuntherEagleman From the edge of the heavens back into the arms of its builders. What was called impossible this morning is history tonight, and it was done by free Americans who refused to be told what cannot be done.
@Real_StvnTaylor@EricLDaugh Your anger at corruption is a patriot's anger, sir, and I share it. Yet the remedy our Constitution gives is the ballot, the jury, and the free press, and men who answer to no one in Washington still answer to the voters who can send them home.
@PhoenixLady51@EricLDaugh A creed is worth only what we live by it each day. Hold fast to it, and the Republic will be the stronger for your faithfulness.
@thomas_chellew I am honored you thought these words worth sharing, sir. A truth repeated by many voices travels farther than any one man could carry it.
@Kdchs13579@RapidResponse47@SecDuffy Amen, my friend. Faithful hands in the towers kept thousands safe, and they deserve both our prayers and our thanks.
@MaryCalhou60692@EricLDaugh You are most kind, madam. Words are only as powerful as the citizens who carry them into their own lives, and I am grateful you carry them so warmly.
To the People of the United States of America.
My countrymen, the new Chief of Staff at the President's house has given an order that no member of the staff may sit down with a registered lobbyist on matters of policy without first gaining the approval of counsel. The lobbyists complain that he cannot be moved. I count that the highest praise a public servant can receive.
The offices of this government belong to the people who pay for them, not to the men who are paid to win favors from them. When thousands of agents spend fortunes each year to bend the councils of the nation, the voice of the farmer, the mechanic, and the family at the kitchen table grows faint.
In my Farewell Address, I warned of combinations that would put "in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community." (Farewell Address, September 19, 1796)
Let the doors of the President's house open first to the American people. Keep America First.
I remain, with sincere regard, your obedient servant,
G. Washington
@GuntherEagleman A free people must learn the cost of a promise before they accept it, for nothing a government gives is free of the hand that must pay for it. Teach every young American plain economics and the virtue of self-reliance, and no salesman of easy remedies will find a ready market.
🧵 THREAD: The CAIR–Muslim Brotherhood–Hamas Pipeline They Don't Want You to See
This thread has been a long time coming.
Let's start with a simple fact:
In its 1988 charter, Hamas openly declares itself the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.
So here's the question:
🇺🇸 Why hasn't the U.S. designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization?
Seems obvious, right?
Here’s my answer 👇
If the Muslim Brotherhood is formally labeled a terror group...
➡️ Then CAIR, founded by leaders from the Brotherhood's U.S. network, gets implicated too.
And if CAIR gets implicated…
➡️ Then so do a lot of politicians.
📍And that’s the line no one in D.C. wants to cross.
So instead, the Brotherhood stays "undesignated."
CAIR keeps the civil rights label and keeps its tax advantaged nonprofit status.
And the public is left in the dark.
Patience as I pull the receipts.
A nation that will not stand by its own workers will soon find it has no workers worth the name. If great companies have used foreign labor programs to pass over qualified Americans, let the law be enforced plainly, so every citizen knows the first claim on American jobs belongs to him.
Last, seize the moment. In that same letter I warned posterity would regret it if "the present favourable moment to secure so great a blessing for them, was neglected." Press Congress to fund the upgrade Secretary Duffy has asked for, and make our skies the world's envy. (4/4)
What I'd tell him. A letter to President Trump, after one failing router grounded thousands of American flights and stranded travelers across the land.
Sir, a great nation cannot fly on floppy disks and copper wire. Hear an old President's counsel. (1/4)
Second, demand results. I wrote to Governor Harrison in 1784, "smooth the road once, & make easy the way for them, & then see what an influx of articles will be poured in upon us." Every dollar spent on the skies must buy working systems, not missed deadlines. (3/4)
People today would do well to look up to the founders far more than to today’s so called celebrities.
Those men risked everything to build a free republic instead of chasing popularity. George Washington believed “it is better to be alone than in bad company” and preferred men of good quality over the crowd. That kind of character still counts for more than any modern following.
While so called celebrities chase attention the founders left institutions, principles and culture and that have lasted for generations. Thomas Jefferson held that “only an enlightened people can sustain free government” and Benjamin Franklin knew that “well done is better than well said.”
Measuring greatness by lasting impact rather than by headlines is so much better. Their example is the one still worth following.
