🇺🇸 American History 🇺🇸
BREAKING NEWS: Seventy-Two Killed Resisting Gun Confiscation In Massachusetts.
National Guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed by elements of a Para-military extremist faction. Military and law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw.
Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement.
Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the group’s organizers as “criminals,” issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government’s efforts to secure law and order.
The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault weapons.
Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting in early this month between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible confiscation of illegal arms.
One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out that “none of these people would have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily.”
Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition. However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government’s plans.
During a tense standoff in the Lexington town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists.
Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange.
Ironically, the local citizenry blamed government forces rather than the extremists for the civilian deaths. Before order could be restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the guard units. Colonel Smith, finding his forces over matched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat.
Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the attack against the government troops.
Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as “ringleaders” of the extremist faction, remain at large.
And this, My fellow Americans who do not know your History, this is how the American Revolution began on April 20, 1775.
History. Study it, or repeat it.

This nation was built by brilliant young men.
Today on America 250 we should echo the words of George Washington’s prayer:
“Almighty God, who has given us this good land for our heritage, we humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will.
Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning and pure manners.
“
Save us from violence, discord and confusion; from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way.
Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought out of many kindreds and tongues.
Endue with the spirit of wisdom those whom in Thy name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be peace and justice at home, and that through obedience to Thy law, we may show forth Thy praise among the nations of the earth.
In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in Thee to fail.
All of which we ask through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.”
POWERFUL HEALING PRAYER ATTRIBUTED TO SAINT PADRE PIO
Heavenly Father, I thank You for loving me. I thank You for sending Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, to the world to save and to set me free. I trust in Your power and grace that sustain and restore me.
Loving Father, touch me now with Your healing hands, for I believe that Your will is for me to be well in mind, body, soul and spirit. Cover me with the most precious blood of Your Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ from the top of my head to the soles of my feet.
Cast out anything that should not be in me. Root out any unhealthy and abnormal cells. Open any blocked arteries or veins and rebuild and replenish any damaged areas. Remove all inflammation and cleanse any infection by the power of Jesus’ precious blood.
Let the fire of Your healing love pass through my entire body to heal and make new any diseased areas so that my body will function the way You created it to function. Touch also my mind and my emotion, even the deepest recesses of my heart.
Saturate my entire being with Your presence, love, joy and peace and draw me ever closer to You every moment of my life. And Father, fill me with Your Holy Spirit and empower me to do Your works so that my life will bring glory and honour to Your holy name.
I ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
"Their owner passed away alone in his apartment. Nobody found him for three days. The dogs waited the whole time." When animal control finally arrived, Max and Buddy were sitting by the front door. Not destructive. Not panicked. Just sitting. Waiting. Doing what he had always taught them to do. They came to our shelter with nothing. No records. No vet history. No family contact. Just each other. And one old tennis ball that somebody thought to grab on the way out. That was eleven days ago. Every morning they sit at the kennel door and wait. Every time they hear footsteps they both stand up. Every time those footsteps pass — they go back and lie down together. They don't know he's not coming. They just know he always came back before. Max is 6. Buddy is 5. Both healthy. Both gentle. Both heartbreakingly good dogs. Neither one will do well separated. They have never spent a night apart. They were somebody's whole world. Now they need somebody to be theirs. If you are in the USA and you have room in your home and your heart — please share this until it reaches the right person. They've already waited long enough. Drop a ❤️ for Max and Buddy. And please — SHARE. One share could be everything.
Happy Independence Day!
Today, we celebrate the blessings of liberty and give thanks to God for the freedoms we enjoy as Americans.
Throughout our nation's history, countless men and women have courageously served and sacrificed to protect those freedoms. We honor them with grateful hearts.
As believers, we're also reminded of an even greater freedom—the freedom found in Jesus Christ. Through Him, we have been set free from sin, condemnation, and every curse, so we can walk in the abundant life God has promised.
May we never take either freedom for granted. Let us continue to pray for our nation, stand for truth, and thank the Lord for His faithfulness.
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD..." — Psalm 33:12
God bless you, and God bless America!
“I work the front desk at a small doctor’s office, and I wish people could see what happens on the other side of the phone.
Every day, older patients call us confused.
They are told to use the patient portal, upload documents, check lab results online, fill out forms before the visit, and confirm everything through a link.
Some of them do not know what a portal is.
Some do not have a smartphone.
Some have one, but they are afraid to click the wrong thing.
Last week, a man in his late 80s called about his test results.
He said, “Ma’am, I don’t mean to bother you, but the computer says I have a message and I don’t know how to open it.”
He sounded ashamed.
That broke my heart.
He should not have to feel ashamed for needing a human being.
Technology can be helpful. I understand that.
But when people who built this country are made to feel helpless because everything became a login and a password, we have gone too far.
Not everything needs to be an app.
Not every answer should be hidden behind a screen.
Sometimes people need a voice.
A patient person.
A real human who says, “Don’t worry, I can help you.”
Progress should not leave seniors behind.
Because one day, the world will move faster than us too.
And I hope someone is kind enough to slow down.

@bennyjohnson 🇺🇸 Man, I really miss the good old days. There was a time when it really didn't matter if you were Republican, Democrat or Libertarian. EVERY AMERICAN flew their flag proudly on July 4th, no matter what. We loved our nation. Many of us still do. May God Bless America.
Robin Williams’ emotional tribute to the American Flag leaves an entire stadium speechless — then in tears.
Is there a single Hollywood star who would give this performance today?
Total Patriot.
RIP Legend 🇺🇸
Today I’ll celebrate the country where you can complain how terrible it is…while eating a second cheeseburger, posting a picture of it on a phone invented by capitalism, with words protected by the Constitution, under a flag somebody died for, so you can sweat in a lawn chair by a lake, and miss the air conditioned 4 bedroom house the bank lets you keep, while you sip a cold drink full of ice cubes.
Tonight I’m going to commemorate the defeat of King George with more explosive firepower than a modern-day third world military.
To everyone who says America isn’t worth celebrating, that’s your right……because America! Two hundred and fifty years old and you’re still making people argue on the internet before breakfast. What a country!
As for me…let’s party! Happy 250th America.
I heard the Spirit of the Lord say this morning while in prayer,
“I am the God of recompense. What was stolen shall be returned sevenfold; what was broken shall be made whole; what was buried shall rise with glory. I am turning your mourning into dancing and your sackcloth into garments of praise.
There are powers that have watched you plant, toil, and labor and they have waited for the day of harvest to steal, scatter, and destroy. But I declare: the spirit of Midian is broken today. Every demonic surveillance assigned to monitor your breaking forth, and every power that says, ‘You will sow but not reap,’ I render them powerless. I am visiting you with divine response.
Your change of level is here. Every power that has held you in the same place, every force that has resisted your lifting, and every conspiracy formed against you I turn it all for your good.
You will not serve your enemies. You will not be empty handed. You will go from strength to strength, and you will appear before Me in Zion.
The overturning has begun. The turning of your captivity is complete. You are stepping into your next level now.”
—Prophet Charlie Shamp
@AprilSpark1890 Col. Watson if he is truly holding or behind that sign violated, as an Officer, Article 88 of the UCMJ. MP's can arrest him, throw him in a Military Jail and the process of his courtmartial starts. https://t.co/NYGXqHH1vt
I’m glad that President Trump is visiting President Teddy Roosevelt’s library
President Roosevelt is one of my favorite in the history of the country
Not only did his mother and wife both die on Valentine’s Day in 1884. He was left a single father with an infant who was only a couple days old.
On October 14, 1912, Theodore Roosevelt was shot in the chest before giving a campaign speech.
The bullet was slowed by a folded 50-page speech and a steel eyeglass case in his pocket. After determining he wasn’t seriously wounded, Roosevelt refused medical treatment and delivered an 84-minute speech anyway.
His response?
“It takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose.”
That’s not just toughness that’s Theodore Roosevelt.
