Today, we proudly celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America and honor the generations of Americans whose courage, sacrifice, and unwavering belief in freedom built the greatest nation the world has ever known.

As millions of visitors gather across our country for the World Cup, they are experiencing firsthand the generosity of our people, the strength of our communities, and the boundless opportunity that defines the American spirit. Proof that America's greatest export has always been the example it sets.

For 250 years, our nation has stood as a testament to what is possible when liberty, free enterprise, innovation, and opportunity are allowed to flourish. These principles continue to inspire progress not only here at home, but globally.

At Freedom First Global, we are proud to carry that tradition forward. As we welcome new partners around the world, we remain committed to representing the very best of American leadership, entrepreneurship, and partnership, demonstrating through our actions the values that have made our nation exceptional.

Happy Independence Day, and Happy 250th Anniversary, America. May God continue to bless the United States of America.

Libya's NOC to Stage First U.S.-Libya Energy Forum
The National Oil Corporation (NOC), in collaboration with the American company "Freedom First", is set to organize the inaugural U.S.-Libya Energy Forum soon.

This strategic meeting, set to take place in Libya, will gather a significant number of representatives and delegates from leading US oil and gas companies, along with Libyan investors and officials from both the public and private sectors involved in the energy industry.

🇺🇸⚓ U.S. Navy Returns to Libya After 56 Years

In a historic move, the U.S. Navy made its first port calls to Libya in over five decades, signaling a renewed commitment to stability in North Africa. The USS Mount Whitney visited Tripoli and Benghazi, engaging with Libyan officials to discuss military cooperation and support for unifying the country's armed forces. This strategic presence counters growing Russian and Chinese influence in the Mediterranean region.​

Strategic presence, meaningful diplomacy, and a focus on unity—this is how peace is built.

Hopefully after the tragedy yesterday in Butler PA we can all recognize that unaccountable bloated bureaucracies continue to fail us as Americans.

Donald J Trump is alive today solely due to a bad wind estimate by an evil would be assasin.
As the graphics show the full value wind of just 5mph was enough to displace the unconfirmed but likely light 55 grain bullet two inches from DJT's intended forehead to his ear.
DJT was not saved by USSS brilliance. The fact that USSS allowed a rifle armed shooter within 150yds to a preplanned event is either malice or massive incompetence. Clearly there was adequate uncontrolled dead space for a shooter to move into position and take multiple aimed shots. Watching the newsreel one can hear how proximate the shooter is by the very short time lapse between the crack of arriving bullet (supersonic) to the boom of muzzle blast (sonic).

The law enforcement sniper (unclear if USSS) in newsreels was clearly overwhelmed as his face came off his rifle instead of doing his job to kill the shooter. Clearly they were watching the shooter but apparently have a no "first shot" policy. The only positive action was an apparent 488yd shot by one USSS sniper which despatched the assasin but after the assassin launched at least 5 rounds, wounding DJT and killing and severely others in the crowd.

In my old business of providing Diplomatic Security in two active war zones we were expected to execute the basics or we would be fired. Clearly USSS failed at the basics of a secure perimeter and once shots were fired their extraction was clumsy and left DJT highly exposed to follow on attacks. It looked like they had never drilled together because those responses should be effectively autonomic. Will there be accountability? That's not the Washington way.

Unserious and unworthy people in positions of authority got us to this near disaster. Merit and execution must be the only deciding factors in hiring and leadership, not the social engineering priority of the day. Sadly nothing in Washington reflects that any longer. DJT is right to question the competence of those protecting him because yesterday they failed in almost every way. Nature abhors a vacuum and there are always other options.
Most importantly, as Americans let's come together and run a proper valid election so we can get back to what matters a merit based society that judges on character and skill. Nothing else.
