General Washington really was chosen to lead our nation by a higher power. Even the Native Americans knew it.
This painting of Gen Washington at Valley Forge, praying for guidance when the fight for America's independence seemed lost. The painting was from the brutal winter of 1777-1778. The "fragile army" of colonists needed to fight to make the independence from Britain declared on July 4th, 1776, stick. The problem was they were freezing to death, without winter clothing, many without shoes.
In July 1755, a 23-year-old Washington escaped a harrowing death at the Battle of Monongahela, when he was shot by an expert marksman and survived. In a letter to his younger brother John the future first president wrote, "By the all-powerful dispensations of Providence, I have been protected beyond all human probability and expectations; for I had 4 bullets through my coat, and 2 horses shot out from under me, yet escaped unhurt, although death was leveling my companions on every side." He then realized God had saved him for a reason.
Years later, before Washington became president, an Indian chief who was at the battle asked to be brought to Washington. He said, "Sir, I just needed to meet you because I am an expert marksman and I shot you 17 times and my men shot you, and pretty soon I told them to stop wasting their bullets, because this is a man who is protected by the great spirit above. I just wanted to see you before I died, knowing you will become the father of a great nation." This used to be in all the history books.
Put American history back in our classroom so that our children will know what our forefathers did to leave a godfilled legacy for us!🇺🇸

While today’s politicians pledge nothing and risk even less…
56 men in 1776 pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
And they delivered.
No empty virtue signals.
No safe spaces or excuses
Just raw courage and total commitment.
Zero defectors.
That’s how freedom was purchased.
We owe them everything. Never forget. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The contrast is clear. On one side you have people who come to America and immediately fall in love with it — waving flags, cheering for the country, and embracing the culture. On the other side you have politicians and activists who make a career out of tearing America down while enjoying all the benefits it provides.
This isn’t about race or background. It’s about loyalty and attitude. We should welcome legal immigrants who respect our laws, assimilate, and genuinely love this country. At…
