We need to bring this back. 👇

I think about this often and still chuckle just as hard as the first time I read it.

@Deancain I can hear it now, "We are going to need a cease fire. It has started to rain and with the wind the sea is kicking up something awful."

This is one of the most romantic paintings in American history, but the artist hid a second story in it, one that only reveals itself once you know who the tired old man in the corner really was...

The painting is Marriage License, made by Norman Rockwell for the cover of the Saturday Evening Post in 1955. It is late on a Saturday afternoon in a small-town clerk's office. A young couple leans over the desk to fill out the paperwork for their marriage license, the man's arm around her, the woman up on tiptoe in a yellow dress to sign her name. The whole room is dim and brown, and a shaft of golden light falls through the window and lands on just the two of them, as if the day itself knows what is happening here.

Rockwell built it out of contrast: the couple glow with the beginning of everything, and, slumped in the corner, the old clerk waits, ready to go home, because for him, couples in love are just the ordinary traffic of an ordinary day.

But here is what almost no one knows: the clerk was a real man, a local shopkeeper named Jason Braman, and Rockwell chose him for a reason. Braman had recently lost his wife. Rockwell knew it, and he asked him to pose, in his own words, "as a way to give him something else to think about."

So the tired old man watching two young people promise themselves to each other is not acting. He is a widower placed by Rockwell right beside the very thing he has just lost.

Once you know that, the whole painting deepens because it is no longer only about young love. It is about the full arc of it, the beginning and the end in one room, the couple who have everything ahead and the man who had it and lost it, sitting a few feet apart in the same afternoon light.

And here's the best part: the young couple were real too, engaged in life, Joan and Francis Mahoney, and Rockwell gave them the oil sketch as a wedding present. They married. And they stayed married for the rest of their lives...

Black Christian Pastor Just TORCHED the ENTIRE Muslim-Occupied Dearborn City Council: ‘This is Sharia Law!’

“You are only 1% of this nation”

“We are not a nation of Muslims, we are a nation of CHRISTIANS”

“Enough is enough”

Pure fire ✝️🔥

THE COST OF THE ARENA

There is something obscene about a country asking a man to walk into hell, then recoiling because he comes home smelling like smoke. This is all tied to our recent discussions about “merit”.

We take young Americans, hand them rifles, send them across oceans, and ask them to become intimate with things most lawmakers, journalists, and professional moralists will spend their entire lives safely avoiding. Then years later, some of those veterans are called to serve for something important and suddenly the people in the balcony become forensic experts on every ugly year of their lives.

Maybe they drank too much after the war. Perhaps their relationships were a wreck. They behaved badly and struggled. Look at him! Look how dirty he is!

No. Fucking. Shit. You sent him into the arena.

Accountability matters. Some things cannot be excused by war. But neither can redemption be erased because it complicates a confirmation hearing. If a warrior broke, fought his way back, made amends, rebuilt his life and became useful to his country again, that story should count for something more than another line of attack. But it doesn’t, unless you’re lined with gay race communism.

Instead, America increasingly wants warriors without scars. We want the violence performed somewhere far away, neatly packaged, then returned to us without residue. And we want men willing to enter the arena, but God help them if they bleed on the carpet afterward.

The ugliest part is watching people whose greatest professional danger is a hostile headline point down from the marble seats at the scarred man below and laugh at the mud on his face.

You may be physically cleaner than him because you were never in the dirt. But your soul is filthy.

And history will not remember your name.

Just a psa: If gun owners can be held accountable for failing to secure a weapon, then judges should be held accountable for failing to keep dangerous criminals locked up.

The Democrat Party wants to replace Americans through mass migration.

Islam's goal is to conquer the institutions of western civilization.

'Democratic Socialism' will make a few insiders rich while making everyone else equally poor.

We either defend the culture that built our nation's success or watch the left take it away from us.

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

Dear @realDonaldTrump, @SecRubio, we cannot ignore this. The US will fall if this is not addressed. It might take 200 years for this to happen but we are sowing the seeds of our demise. Very tough auto-corrective measures must be taken. What’s coming will be a thousand times worse than the American civil war. Please wake up.

[Glenn Beck @glennbeck]

Mamdani's government-run grocery stores are estimated to cost $78 million in taxpayer money to build and operate for just ONE year. Why wouldn't he just take that money and fund an existing welfare program, or cut New Yorkers a check directly? That would be the better way to use these funds, rather than building 5 stores that are designed to LOSE money.

Maybe because Mamdani's plan was never about helping the poor buy groceries. He wants to put the free market out of business. And he's using the same playbook that communists always use. Thankfully, it also always fails.

True capitalism creates abundance. Government control creates empty shelves. New York City will realize this soon enough.

It's time for us all to say it out loud.

There's a major Islam problem in America.

The more we say it, the more normal it becomes.

And no, I'm not a racist.

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

Look at the greedy colonialist Jews (in red) expanding into the small territory of the Muslims (in green). Remember, Israel is a colonizing project but Islam is a peaceful religion that did not spread via colonialism.

Your local farmer raises a healthy cow on grass, butchers it cleanly on the farm, and wants to sell you the steaks.
Federal law says no.

The same government that lets industrial meat packers process thousands of animals a day under “inspection” makes it illegal for that farmer to sell you a single pound of beef unless it goes through a USDA inspected plant first.

The workaround? You have to buy the live animal (or a share of it), then pay a custom butcher who stamps every package “NOT FOR SALE.”

Because apparently once the cow is dead and cut up, suddenly it’s too dangerous for free adults to trade.

This isn’t about food safety. It’s about control and protecting the big processors who love the regulatory moat. Small farms get locked out, local meat gets scarce and expensive, and you’re left buying from the same four companies that run the system.

A free country would let a farmer sell you the cow he raised.

We don’t live in one.

[Fight With Memes @FightWithMemes]

Leftists are funny. Their worldview is basically what you'd get if you had a bunch of toddlers craft public policy.

"People are poor? Give them money!"

"Housing is expensive? Just make landlords charge less!"

"Healthcare costs too much. It should be FREE!"

"I want that. Government should buy it for me!"

"Babies aren't alive until they're born because I can't see them!"

These are all conclusions that a child would make. 😂

Not to mention that they throw violent tantrums every time they're told "NO".

[Lmcbeachlover @Lmcbeachlover]

I may piss a few of you off by posting this. We can handle it one of two ways: discuss it like adults or you can unfriend me. Your choice. You have your opinion and I have mine.

Before anyone gets their panties in a wad, I add that my ancestors came here from other countries, as did most everyone else's ancestors, and they learned the language and worked and never once did I hear any of them trash America. They became citizens, were proud to be one and some served in the military! I am nice to everyone and I have no problem with anyone coming here and making a good life for themselves and their family, BUT if you are coming here and expect us to become what you just came from, then that’s not happening! Return and work on your country and make it better where you can be proud to live in it.

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of AMERICA, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.

“IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ASSIMILATE”

Take it or leave it. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans. This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.

We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, (dirty knees, look at these 🤣🤣) Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language.

Most Americans believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and it is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools.

If God and Jesus offend you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God and Jesus are part of our "culture." This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE.

But once you are done complaining and whining about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, our Constitution, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great AMERICAN freedom -

"THE RIGHT TO LEAVE".

If you aren't happy here, then LEAVE. We the People didn't force you to come here.

NOTE:
IF we circulate this among ourselves, WE will find the courage to start speaking and voicing the same truths.
If you agree, please SEND THIS ON and as for those who disagree, move to a country that suits you and live there. "
THANK YOU! 🇺🇸

Share or Copy and Paste if you want...I can't be the only American that feels this way..

250 years ago, Americans stood up to the most powerful empire on Earth over taxation without representation.

Today, we’re told we can’t deport millions of illegal immigrants who hate this country because somebody might think it’s “mean.”

America needs its backbone back.

[Rob Schneider 🇺🇸 @RobSchneider]

Just a not friendly reminder, Communism
is NOT LEGAL in the UNITED STATES of AMERICA. It is in fact, a CRIME.

Also, attempting to overthrow the government, actively attempting to abolish the Constitution and the Supreme Court is a crime known as Sedition, punishable by death.

[Glenn Beck @glennbeck]

We replaced generations of common-sense wisdom with "experts" who never sat at our family tables—and we’re living through the results today.

We rolled our eyes at the old phrases our parents repeated every day— "Your word is your bond." "It’ll look better in the morning." "Money doesn't grow on trees."— until we grew up and realized they were right.

My mom used to tell me, "Show me your friends, and I’ll show you your future." That alone is now one of the greatest tools to cut through the political games and reveal the truth. Just look at who the Democratic Party has partnered with— socialists, communists, Islamists, radical extremists. You don't have to guess where they're taking this country.

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

Suicidal empathy is killing America.

We feel more for the illegal who just crossed the border than the citizen who just got robbed.

More for the career criminal than the victim.

More for the foreign cause than our own kids future.

A nation that puts everyone else first eventually has nothing left to give.

And nothing left to defend.
