#coronavirus
The most dangerous "virus" in the world...
is "belief systems" of different strains...
that reside in the human brain...
and compel men to kill one another to
preserve those "belief systems".
History proves this.
QED
As much as I try to avoid the Lefty Broadcast Media garbage and Trump hate talk during the weekdays, it never fails that @BretBaier 's producers make sure to put them in your face on his show on @FoxNews .
Anyone else noticing this and the increasing frequency as elections near?
I hadn’t read the Declaration of Independence since high school history class. Ah, yes, history class! In fact we had American history throughout the tenth grade, then world history during our junior year. When I listen to the TikTok crowd spew the nonsense they champion today, I think how easily their knuckle-headed thinking could have been cured with a few good history classes. Alas, I don’t see much hope for the future, as long as the teachers in our urban areas are in the clutches of politicians and unions with a far different agenda from real education.
Now rereading the document for the first time in decades (shame on me for taking so long), I had forgotten that the bulk of the text is a list of grievances suffered by the American colonists at the hands of the king and various elements under his tyrannical regime. What has truly stunned me these 250 years later, however, is how familiar these grievances feel in our contemporary situation. Let’s take a peek at the exact text, and see if anything feels uncomfortably close to home (the “He” refers to King George, of course, and I will use the original spelling and punctuation):
“He has refused to Assent to Laws”
Hmm, every “sanctuary state” governor today for starters…
“He has made Judges dependent of his Will alone”
Hmm, activist judges anybody?
“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people”
Hmm, 87,000 new armed IRS agents. Ring a bell?
“For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent”
Hmm, ever looked at your tax bill?
“…transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny…”
Hmm, thirty million military-age males pouring across our open borders from 2020 to 2024…
“He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us”
Hmm, BLM and Antifa riots…
SHORT VERSION: LEAVE US ALONE!
The very essence of the Declaration of Independence is a concerted celebration of God’s gift of our “unalienable” right to “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” It was argued, researched, debated yet again, drafted by Jefferson, then edited by Adams, Franklin, and others. Together the bravest men stood together against the storm of tyranny and gambled it all. As I reread it today, I literally shed tears at those miraculous words:
“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortune and our sacred Honor.”
And then, of course, there were those who shed more than tears. They shed their blood, watched their homes burn, and too many gave the ultimate sacrifice. Whether they formed local militias or joined the Continental Army, colonists now dedicated to the cause, gambled their very lives. One of those Americans was my ninth generation ancestor. He fought in one of the most consequential battles of the American Revolution, the Battle of Cowpens. I am forever honored that his blood runs in my veins.
I know that this will be a joyful and glorious weekend for all of you, God willing. It should also be, if I may presume to say, a solemn one as well. The sacrifices made by simple men and women those many years ago have made these precious rights and this glorious day possible. Take a moment and honor them in your heart. I know I will.
So.....
Aak the data centers that are using 1000% more power than the residential air conditioning to cut their usage back????
What are you doing????
1,113 data centers are using 52.3 Gigawatt of power compared to the 6 Gigawatt of residential cooling used...
But you go after the residents?
Can't burden your corporate donors, I guess????
New York’s electric grid is under heavy strain as this heat wave drives up energy demand.
We’re asking New Yorkers to voluntarily conserve power by setting your A/C between 75–78°, avoiding unnecessary appliance use, and turning off lights and electronics when they’re not needed.
These small steps can help prevent outages, keep the power on, and protect the most vulnerable members of our communities.
My team is coordinating with Con Edison, NYISO, and New York City leaders to reduce demand across the grid.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
The Egyptian Football Association posted a video titled: “The Secret to Victory.”
They openly state that the key to victory is to begin the match by cursing Christians and Jews.
Before each match, the team gathers to recite Quranic passages calling Christians and Jews infidels under Allah’s wrath.
Coptic Christians make up 15% of Egypt’s population, but they are not allowed to be part of the national team.
For some reason, FIFA thinks this is ok.
I’m 70 years old. My father was US Air Force. So was I. We’ve been fighting our nations wars for 60 years.
Mamdani immigrated here and became a legal US citizen in 2018.
How dare a communist Ugandan lecture ME on what it means to be an American! He has no clue and he’s destroying NYC. He’s trying to destroy America.
My pissed off meter just maxed. Circuit breakers are popping,
Eff off, @NYCMayor. You’re in way over your head “American.”
Here is:
A Muslim woman issues a warning to every single American:
The very terrorists she fled from in Egypt are now leading protests right here in on American soil. They are members of the Muslim Brotherhood.
“It’s like déjà vu for me: everything is happening, but now in the United States.”
“I came here expecting that I had left the bad guys behind. But unfortunately, what I found here is that the bad guys are already here, and they include many of the people I knew 15 or 20 years ago, when I was an undergraduate student.
Now they are leading the protests happening all over the country. I know they are members of the Muslim Brotherhood, although many of them deny it.
They even organized the protestors in the same manner as they did back then—15 or 20 years ago—the same way of mobilization, the same flags, the same narrative, even the same reliance on Al Jazeera footage and news stories. It’s like déjà vu for me: everything is happening, but now in the United States.
That’s why I’m here today, hoping that we can find a way to prevent what happened in my home country, Egypt, from happening here in the United States.”
What makes Mamdani’s lecture so offensive is that it’s obvious he has nothing but disdain and hatred for America
He’s not here because of what the country is and what it represents, he’s here because it serviced his ambition and he could gain power in a broken political party
A pilot paid tribute to America's 250th anniversary with a patriotic flight over Ohio ahead of the Fourth of July weekend.
Footage shows the Cessna tracing "USA 250th" inside the outline of the contiguous United States, creating a striking aerial salute to the nation's milestone birthday.
In a letter this week addressed to the President of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche wrote that the Department of Justice rejects any assertion of jurisdiction by the ICC over Americans.
The United States is not a party to the Rome Statute and has never consented to the ICC’s authority. As a matter of international law, a treaty cannot bind a non-consenting country. Accordingly, the ICC has no jurisdiction over Americans — anywhere in the world — and any attempt to assert such authority is illegitimate, unlawful, and a direct affront to the sovereignty of the United States.

The algorithm never shows me your posts anymore. Is this happening to anyone else?
Shuttering Indian Point to satisfy climate mysticism exposes the absolute bankruptcy of the progressive elite. They destroy high-yield, clean nuclear power, only to burn fossil fuels when the grid fails. It is the defining joke of modern leftism: manufacturing a real crisis today to pretend they are saving tomorrow. James is completely right. They demand you freeze in the present to worship a fictional future.
