In 2005, Oneida shut the flatware factory in Sherrill, New York.
A town that had made silverware for MORE THAN 100 YEARS was supposed to be finished.
Two men refused to let that happen.
Their names are Matt Roberts and Greg Owens.
Roberts had managed that factory. Owens was another former Oneida manufacturing manager. When the company ended U.S. production, they bought the plant and the equipment and reopened it the NEXT DAY as Sherrill Manufacturing.
They did not have a giant rescue fund.
They did not have a Hollywood ending waiting.
They had a building, some machines, and a workforce that knew how to make forks, knives, and spoons.
At first they kept making product for Oneida.
Then Oneida pulled the remaining American work and sent it overseas.
That should have been the end.
It wasn’t.
They took government flatware contracts to keep the lights on. In 2010 they filed Chapter 11. They sold unused equipment. They sold space they could no longer fill. They leased back only the part of the factory they could still run.
They came out of bankruptcy in 2013.
Then they did the thing that saved the company.
They built their own brand: Liberty Tabletop.
They sold 18/10 stainless flatware straight to customers who wanted tableware MADE IN THE UNITED STATES.
Not through a department store that could drop them overnight.
Direct.
Today Liberty Tabletop is the only company still manufacturing stainless steel flatware in America.
Same town.
Same trade.
U.S. steel.
About 70 jobs.
They did not bring back 2,000 workers. Nobody did.
What they saved was the last line.
If you want American-made forks and spoons, this is the factory that still makes them.
Support Liberty Tabletop.
THIS is what keeping manufacturing in America actually looks like. 🇺🇸
BREAKING: Rochester General Hospital in New York hired 82 resident doctors.
80 are foreign workers on H-1B or J-1 visas.
Only 2 are Americans.
98% of the residency slots went to visa workers- mostly from countries with documented USMLE cheating.
Americans got 2 jobs.
This is what school used to be before they turned it into a therapy session.
High school boys in Louisa County, Virginia spend months in auto shop fixing donated cars. Then they walk a single mama out to the bay, slap a bow on the hood, and hand her the keys.
No TED Talk.
No “lived experience” panel.
Just grease, wrenches, and a woman who can finally get her kids to school without begging a ride.
One mom said that car helped her get her child back.
Because showing up actually matters.
That’s not charity. That’s competence.
Boys learning a trade. A family getting off the edge. A community doing what government PowerPoints never will.
Keep the gender studies.
Give me the shop class. 💯

🚨BREAKING — HUGE SCOTUS WIN: The Supreme Court 6-3 has GREENLIT the Trump administration's revamped SAVE citizenship verification database for states to PURGE the voter rolls of illegal voters during the 2026 midterms
LET'S GO!! 🔥
Liberals Jackson, Sotomayor and Kagan dissent, imagine that. They're pro-fraud!
The modified SAVE system allows state and local officials to conduct citizenship verification of registered voters, including through Social Security Administration records and SSNs
NOW PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT. Bulletproof our elections!
On this exact day in 1780, three ordinary militiamen stopped a stranger on a road, searched him, found treason hidden in his boot, turned down a small fortune to let him walk, and in doing so saved West Point and possibly the whole Revolution. Their names were John Paulding, Isaac Van Wart, and David Williams, and almost no one remembers them.
They were not famous soldiers. They were young New York farmers, part of the informal patrols that watched the dangerous no-man's-land north of British-occupied New York City, a lawless strip crawling with raiders and spies from both sides. On the morning of September 23, near Tarrytown, they stopped a well-dressed rider who called himself John Anderson.
Here is where luck and character collided. The rider, seeing rough men in mixed clothing, guessed wrong and assumed they were Loyalists like himself, and he let slip that he was a British officer. The instant he realized his mistake, he tried to backtrack, but it was too late. The three militiamen were suspicious now, and they decided to search him. They made him strip, and inside his stockings, tucked into his boot, David Williams found folded papers, detailed plans of the American fortress at West Point, its defenses, its garrison, its weaknesses.
They had no idea, in that moment, that the man was Major John André, head of British intelligence, or that the papers had been handed to him by Benedict Arnold himself in a treason plot to sell West Point to the enemy. But they knew they had caught something enormous.
And then came the test that made them heroes. André, desperate, tried to buy his freedom. He offered them his fine horse, his watch, and money, and by the account given at his trial, a bribe of a thousand guineas in gold, an almost unimaginable sum for three farmers of modest means, enough to change their lives forever. All they had to do was let him ride away.
They said no. Three poor young men, offered a fortune to look the other way, refused it, and instead marched their prisoner to the nearest American officer. That single act of plain honesty unraveled the entire conspiracy. The papers exposed the plot to betray West Point. Arnold barely escaped to a British ship. André was tried and hanged. And the fortress that guarded the Hudson, the linchpin of the American position, was saved.
The young nation understood what it owed them. Congress voted the three men the very first military decoration in American history, a silver medal called the Fidelity Medallion, its reverse inscribed with a Latin motto meaning "the love of country conquers." Each also received a lifetime pension and a farm. George Washington himself presented them their medals.
Remember Paulding, Van Wart, and Williams. Not generals, not statesmen, just three farmers on patrol who happened to stop the right man on the right morning, and who then proved that they could not be bought at any price. The Revolution was saved that day not by a brilliant plan or a famous hero, but by ordinary men who were simply, stubbornly honest when a fortune said they should not be.
The Iranian regime's ambassador tried to silence the UN Security Council.
Waltz looked him in the eye and reminded him EXACTLY where he was... then laid out the receipts one by one. 🔥
Good morning to everyone except the corporations claiming they can't find qualified American workers while continuing to sponsor thousands of H-1B visas.
Just an update to highlight that since @UKLabour came to power, 6 and a half divisions worth of fighting age men have completed amphibious operations against our coast.
That's more divisions than were in the Allied assault wave on D-Day.
🚨 BREAKING: A LIFELONG DEMOCRAT JUST EXPLODED ON MSNBC
Chris Matthews — 50+ years in Democratic politics — looked straight into the camera and called the DSA platform pure CRAP.
He listed it out, one by one:
“We’re going to get rid of ICE.
Not just ICE… the border too.
No more controlling who enters or leaves the country.
Get rid of prisons.
Get rid of the Pentagon.”
Then he dropped the hammer:
“What happens when your diplomats get taken hostage, like under Carter?
You need an army. You don’t like having one… but you NEED one.”
On AOC’s “big tent” fantasy:
“The problem is every Democrat has to defend this crap from the left.
You’ve got to say ‘I’m not DSA’… and make it crystal clear.”
Matthews just joined James Carville on the growing list of lifelong liberals who say they no longer recognize their own party.
Gallup numbers don’t lie:
66% of Democrats now view socialism positively.
Only 42% still view capitalism positively.
The party of FDR and JFK is gone.
What’s left is something else entirely.
Share this before they try to bury it.
You sat out the Midterms to "teach Republicans a lesson". They didn't learn anything.
The year is now 2031, the 2030 Midterms just concluded and the GOP flipped three Senate seats! Here's the problem...Democrats won the Senate in 2026. They abolished the filibuster, as there was no Sinema or Manchin to protect it this time, and blocked all of Trump's judges. Then, in 2028, they rode a sluggish economy back to the White House.
President Ocasio-Cortez made it a point to instantly pack the Supreme Court to 17 justices, overturning Roe v. Wade, gutting the First and Second Amendments, and more.
There was also another border surge of 10-20 million illegal aliens. Legal immigration has been doubled under the Immigration Act of 2027, a comprehensive expansion of the 1990 Act. The US became majority nonwhite under the 2030 census.
Then, as the Senate was deemed "racist" and "rooted in White Supremacy", they decided to vote on adding states to the Union as "reparations for nonwhite non-representation". This gave 2 seats each to American Samoa, Guam, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Washington, DC (but NOT evil white supremacist Northern Mariana Islands, because they vote Republican). They also split up California into three states, citing "efficiency" reasons they refused to explain.
They also passed a "gerrymandering ban", which led to "independent commissions" creating inexplicably gerrymandered maps that included 3 blue seats in Kentucky, and 4 in Missouri. Not to mention only a single red seat in Illinois.
The Senate rushed through single payer healthcare, which caused a massive tax hike in exchange for subpar DMV-run healthcare that leads to shortages and wait times.
Then, they passed through a blanket amnesty for 60+ million illegal aliens and other foreign visaholders. While they still cannot legally vote until 2036, they will make up 25% of the electorate when they do.
Despite all that, much of the 'retard right' continues to call President Ocasio-Cortez "the most America First President in history" because she cut all foreign aid to Israel and arrested Benjamin Netanyahu (who is now cellmates with former President Donald Trump in Riker's Island). While patriots are routinely censored once again, these grifters are not for some reason.
Even if Republicans manage to win the 2032 presidential election in most key swing states, as some polls have them doing, it is unclear if they will be able to win it by enough to overcome the additional states in the electoral college. But even if they do, it is unclear at this point if a GOP victory would be certified. JD Vance has already been arrested, and Marco Rubio has been deported to Cuba for hate speech (the only deportation of her term since ICE was abolished in early 2027), leading many to speculate who the next man up in the GOP would be.
Guys, don't let this happen, because it will. Get the fuck out and vote.
