Joseph McCarthy and the 1950s Red Scare didn't go far enough, so now we have open communists winning victories in New York City.

Soccer (not calling it football) is a fundamentally Third World sport that mimics that tactics used in tribal warfare, making it fundamentally opposed to Western values.

On this very special 4th of July edition of the History Hour, I'm joined by the fantastic @briannalyman2 to talk about how the American Revolution evolved from disgruntled colonists to a world-shaking revolution.

In 7 months Democrats have elected/nominated:
-A man who fantasized about murdering Republicans/their children
-A man with a NAZI tattoo
-An Al Qaeda volunteer
-A woman who said the US is an "effing disgrace"
-A woman who said 9/11 was our fault
This is who the party is
The only thing that matters after the release of this horrific report is what are the British people going to do about it?
All the handwringing and grandstanding doesn't matter. How will Britons achieve justice for these girls? That's all that matters.
Mexican President Sheinbaum: We built Mexico and we have also helped build the United States.
"The 40 million Mexicans who live there, the United States would not be what it is today without the 40 million Mexican men and women who work there..."
Ray’s Rock - Omaha Beach
On the morning of June 6, 1944, 23 year old Staff Sergeant Arnold “Ray” Lambert came ashore with the first wave of the 1st Infantry Division on the eastern side of Omaha Beach. At this small patch of concrete he saved nearly 20 lives:
The division came under intense fire from several German bunkers surrounding the entrance to the Colville Draw (one of two exits off Omaha Beach). Ray, a medic, immediately went to work.
He was shot in the arm. Moments later he was hit by shrapnel in the leg, but Ray kept pulling men to safety. He pulled nearly 20 wounded soldiers to cover behind this 8ft wide obstacle, treating each soldier before going out in search of others.
After several hours under fire, while pulling a wounded soldier from the ocean, he was struck by a landing craft. It dropped its ramp on top of him, breaking his back. He fell face down in the water, drowning. The craft backed up and nearby soldiers pulled an unconscious Ray to safety, eventually evacuating him off the beach.
Remarkably, Ray had already earned two Silver Stars and three Purple Hearts in Sicily and North Africa, prior to landing in France. But here in Normandy his war would end.
He awoke in a hospital back in England a day later. In the next bed over was his brother, who had also been wounded at Omaha.
When asked about his work on D-Day, Ray simply said, “I did what I was called to do.”
Ray Lambert passed in 2021 at 100 years old. He exemplified the best of American grit and why remembering this day is so important.
Most Americans know the story of D-Day through media like Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers. But what about the parts of D-Day that Hollywood won't show you?
Today we're looking at the overlooked and forgotten parts of D-Day in a special episode of the History Hour:
Imagine it’s June 2, 1776
“It is not choice then, but necessity that calls for Independence,” you write in a letter to a wealthy Virginia planter.
You sign the letter, Richard Henry Lee
Your country is doomed when an industry that pathologizes Americans' behavior in order to make them dependent on pharmaceuticals overtakes actual industries like logging and mining.
In 2019, there were about 150,000 people working in autism therapy.
Six years later, there were 654,000—more than the number of people who work in mining and logging, or telecommunications, or at the US Postal Service.
A-list, relevant celebrities should be falling over themselves to perform at the America 250 celebrations, but not one could be bothered to show up for this milestone.

As we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we should not be afraid to say with confidence that America is not merely a creed or a proposition, but a people. And as for the founding, let’s have no more of this falsehood that we were “founded by immigrants.”
The English colonists did not cross the Atlantic to join a new people or assimilate into a new culture. They came to plant the culture of England on these shores, and that’s exactly what they did.
In February, @CAgovernor Gavin Newsom described this busy new railhead and marshaling yard near Wasco as a major sign of progress in the state's high-speed rail project. Today:
A historic Black cemetery in Palmetto, Florida, was vandalized, with graves damaged and “Trump” and “DeSantis” spray-painted across tombstones. Our ancestors deserve dignity in life and in death. Desecrating sacred burial grounds is hateful, painful, and unacceptable. We must protect Black history and honor the families impacted by this cruelty.
Imagine it's May 15, 1776
In one unanimous vote, Virginia just ended 169 years of colonial rule and declares Independence.
The next day, soldiers in the Continental Army toasted “the American independent states.”
It was the point of no return.
#OnThisDay, 250 years ago, the Fifth Virginia Convention unanimously passed a resolution instructing their delegates to the Continental Congress to propose that the colonies declare independence from Great Britain.
