🚨 PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST SENT A MESSAGE DIRECTLY TO JOHN TRAITOR RINO THUNE:

“I’ll be sitting at home saying ‘I told you so’”

TRUMP IS RIGHT 💯

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

This is why Democrats are fighting so hard to keep the Haitians on temporary protected status in America

Video of Springfield Ohio where the Illegal Haitian Migrants are being GIVEN DRIVERS LICENSES despite just getting there and speaking no english

Journalist “We’re headed to the DMV to see how the Haitians are getting driver's licenses and cars so quickly after moving here despite speaking zero English”

DMV Worker “I'm not allowed to answer any personal questions outside of my office”

“I really don't know. I know, but I know they're getting them quick.”

I have confirmed that you can vote in Ohio with the drivers license given to the Haitians

In Ohio you have to be a US citizen to register to vote but NO DOCUMENTED PROOF is required, you can just say you are and that’s good enough

It was always about rigging our elections

We need the people who orchestrated this to go to prison

Liberals who support this guy have no idea what this dumbass just did to his family.

- NO RETIREMENT
- NO BENEFITS
- NO VA
- FELON STATUS

He’s married with children. So no insurance, pay, health care, or education benefits for him or his kids.

Congrats, liberals. Another useful idiot that wasted his life…and you’ll forget and move on. How compassionate.

🚨 BREAKING: By stroke of pen, President Trump raises the H-1B Visa fee from $1,000 to *$100,000,* and directs the Secretary of Labor to revise the wage rules to make it much harder for companies to hire foreigners in replacement of American workers.

Massive win 💪

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu disgracefully ordered the American flag 🇺🇸 taken down from City Hall Plaza just so they could raise the Somali flag for Somali Independence Day, right in the middle of America’s 250th anniversary celebrations.

U.S. flag code is crystal clear: NOTHING flies above or replaces Old Glory. Forcing down the Stars & Stripes is an absolute betrayal, un-American, disrespectful, and downright shameful.

This isn’t “inclusion.” It’s putting foreign flags before our own. Priorities like this are why people are fed up.

Who else is sick of states prioritizing Somali’s? 🤚🏼

[Overton @overton_news]

Victor Davis Hanson says he knows he’ll get in trouble for saying it, but many of the Democrats’ most radical voices are first or second-generation immigrants from FAILED nations.

Ilhan Omar, AOC, Mamdani, Chevalier.

Hanson argues they learned early that trashing America gets them protected and advanced by the left.

HANSON: “One of the things that's not being talked about and I know I'll get criticized for this but here it is...”

“If you look at the candidates, Chevalier, and AOC, and Rashida Tlaib, and Mamdani, and I could go on...”

“But the kingpins, they’re first or second generation...immigrants. And they come from areas that, to be candid and a little blunt, are failed miserable places, such as Ghana or the Caribbean, or many Latin American countries, or Mexico.”

“Almost 50-60% of them are.”

“So they come to this country either with their parents or their parents came and they were born. And they sense, they put their feelers up...and they learn very early on that if you trash this country, the left will protect you and advance you.”

“And no matter how much money you have — AOC’s parents were pretty affluent. Ilhan Omar claims she was worth $30 million. Mamdani’s a multimillionaire settler colonialist from Uganda.”

“And when you look at all of them, they have nothing but contempt.”

“Then don’t come! There’s no reason you have to come. You came here because it was prosperous and safe, and there was not inbred tribal racism as in all these countries.”

“Apparently, the people came with Ilhan Omar because they were on the side of the genocidal [Mohamed] Siad Barre.”

“They keep saying genocide, genocide! The only person that really is a genocidal maniac was Siad Barre, the head of the Somali government, of which a lot of these immigrants’ parents were part of, including Ilhan Omar.”

[Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley]

...Mamdani trashed the country, which allowed a guy who had virtually no job history to become mayor of the most powerful city on Earth. Yet he can only see oligarchs and ICE agents. The July 4th picnic at the Mamdani house may be the most unsettling event since Schumer threw a barbecue. https://t.co/Ni7f5aNcNM

[Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley]

Zohran Mamdani offered a group of new citizens his dark view of Independence Day. Instead of "rockets' red glare" or "purple mountain majesties," he described "oligarchs who buy elections," "children go to sleep hungry,"  "monopolies that dominate every industry, and oligarchs who buy elections." Oh, and of course "masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans."...

[Flopping Aces @FloppingAces]

Tulsi Gabbard just described the actual operating system of Washington and it’s somehow even dumber and more insulting than the conspiracy versions.

She needed one printed document for a 10 a.m. Oval Office meeting with the President. A mid-level staffer ... detailed from another agency ... decided he didn’t like what was on it, printed it anyway, then locked it in his desk and refused to hand it over. Her chief of staff went down. Her general counsel went down. Both got told to pound sand until the guy’s real boss at his home agency finally gave permission.

That’s the “deep state.” Not some secret society in a basement. Just some nobody with a desk drawer and a God complex who genuinely believed his personal veto outranked the Director of National Intelligence and the elected President of the United States.

This is what Gabbard means when she says they “thrive in the gaps between elections.” The voters pick a direction every four years. The permanent class decides which parts of that direction are even allowed to reach the Resolute Desk. They control the files. They control the information flow. And they’ve been doing it across administrations for decades because the only thing they actually answer to is each other.

The rest of us are just supposed to pretend the elections are real while these people quietly decide what the winner is permitted to know and act on.

Watch her whole speech if you want the full savage version. But the core truth is brutally simple: America votes. Then the people nobody voted for decide what happens next.

[Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree]

In September of 1814, America was once again in trouble.

The young republic was only thirty-eight years old. The War of 1812 had gone badly. British troops had marched into Washington, burned the Capitol, set the White House ablaze, and now turned their sights toward Baltimore. If Fort McHenry fell, the harbor would be open, the city would likely follow, and another devastating blow would be dealt to the fragile nation.

Amid this uncertainty, a young American lawyer named Francis Scott Key sailed under a flag of truce to the British fleet. He had come to negotiate the release of a friend, a physician the British had captured.

He succeeded.

The British agreed to free the doctor.

But there was a catch.

Because Key and his companions had seen too much of the British fleet and learned too much about its plans, they were not allowed to return to shore. Instead, they were detained aboard a ship in the harbor and forced to watch the coming battle from behind enemy lines.

On the morning of September 13, the bombardment began.

For the next twenty-five hours, British warships unleashed somewhere between 1,500 and 1,800 bombs and rockets upon Fort McHenry. These were the “bombs bursting in air” and the “rockets’ red glare” of the song—not poetic embellishments, but terrible realities.

Key stood on the deck through the endless day and the long, terrifying night. Every explosion lit the darkness for a fleeting instant before the smoke swallowed everything again. Somewhere beyond that wall of fire stood the fort. Somewhere beyond it flew an American flag if it still flew at all.

He could not see.

He could only listen.

As long as the guns continued firing, there was reason to hope. The British would not waste ammunition on a fort that had already surrendered.

Then, just before dawn…

The guns fell silent.

For the first time all night, there was only stillness.

It was the most frightening sound of all.

Had the fort finally fallen? Had the defenders surrendered? Had the flag been torn down in the darkness while no one could see?

There was nothing to do but wait.

As the first light of September 14 slowly pushed back the smoke, Francis Scott Key strained his eyes toward the distant fort.

Then he saw it. Not a British flag.

The American flag. Still there. Still flying.

That flag was no ordinary banner. Months earlier, the fort’s commander had commissioned a Baltimore flagmaker, Mary Pickersgill, to sew a flag so enormous “that the British would have no difficulty seeing it from a distance.” It measured roughly thirty by forty-two feet, carried fifteen stars and fifteen stripes, and was so large it had to be assembled on the floor of a brewery because no ordinary room could contain it.

That was the Star-Spangled Banner.

The very flag Key saw through the morning mist.

The very flag that still survives today in the Smithsonian.

Overcome by what he had witnessed, Key reached into his pocket, pulled out an envelope, and began writing. The words came from a heart that had spent an entire night fearing his country might disappear with the dawn.

He first titled the poem Defence of Fort M’Henry.

Within days it was printed and circulating throughout the country. Before long, people began singing it to a melody they already knew—an old British tune called “To Anacreon in Heaven,” originally written for a London social club. There is something beautifully ironic in that: America’s most beloved patriotic song borrowed the melody of the very nation it had just survived. It also explains why the anthem is so notoriously difficult to sing. It was never written for ordinary voices gathered in stadiums or school assemblies.

The song spread quickly and became one of America’s favorite patriotic hymns, but it would wait more than a century before receiving official recognition. Not until 1931 did Congress declare “The Star-Spangled Banner” the national anthem of the United States.

🚨 AWESOME! The North Carolina Legislature has OVERRIDDEN the Democrat governor's veto, forcing a new law to take effect that BLOCKS taxpayer funds from going to illegal aliens in welfare and housing

It also requires state police to cooperate with ICE and help deportations 👏🏻

BIG WIN IN NC! Taxpayer dollars should NEVER have been helping illegals in the first place.

[James Woods @RealJamesWoods]

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.

Elon Musk reveals the disturbing example he says proves AI has already been programmed to lie

"You don't force AI to believe things that are false. When Google Gemini was asked to make an image of the founding fathers, it was a group of diverse women. That is factually untrue, and the AI knows it's factually untrue, but it's also being told everything has to be diverse women"

"At one point, if you asked ChatGPT and Gemini which is worse, misgendering Caitlyn Jenner or global thermonuclear war where everyone dies, it would say misgendering Caitlyn Jenner"

"Even Caitlyn Jenner disagrees with that"

"Imagine as AI gets more and more powerful. If it says the most important thing is no misgendering, it will say, in order to ensure no one gets misgendered, if you eliminate all humans, then no one can get misgendered because there's no humans to do the misgendering"

"Or if it says everyone must be diverse, it means there can be no straight white men. Then you and I would get executed by the AI"

"The problem is that it can drive AI crazy. You're telling AI to believe a lie, and that can have disastrous consequences"

"I don't think people quite appreciate the level of danger we're in from the woke mind virus being effectively programmed into AI"

"It matters how you build the AI and what kind of values you install. The most important thing is that it be maximally truth-seeking"

[Rep. Nancy Mace @RepNancyMace]

We introduced two pieces of legislation.

The first requires Members of Congress, federal judges, and Senate-confirmed officers to be natural born citizens.

The second goes further, barring anyone holding citizenship, nationality, or allegiance to a foreign country from serving in any federal role unless they permanently cut every foreign tie.

America first. 🇺🇸
