In 2005, Oneida shut the flatware factory in Sherrill, New York.
A town that had made silverware for MORE THAN 100 YEARS was supposed to be finished.
Two men refused to let that happen.
Their names are Matt Roberts and Greg Owens.
Roberts had managed that factory. Owens was another former Oneida manufacturing manager. When the company ended U.S. production, they bought the plant and the equipment and reopened it the NEXT DAY as Sherrill Manufacturing.
They did not have a giant rescue fund.
They did not have a Hollywood ending waiting.
They had a building, some machines, and a workforce that knew how to make forks, knives, and spoons.
At first they kept making product for Oneida.
Then Oneida pulled the remaining American work and sent it overseas.
That should have been the end.
It wasn’t.
They took government flatware contracts to keep the lights on. In 2010 they filed Chapter 11. They sold unused equipment. They sold space they could no longer fill. They leased back only the part of the factory they could still run.
They came out of bankruptcy in 2013.
Then they did the thing that saved the company.
They built their own brand: Liberty Tabletop.
They sold 18/10 stainless flatware straight to customers who wanted tableware MADE IN THE UNITED STATES.
Not through a department store that could drop them overnight.
Direct.
Today Liberty Tabletop is the only company still manufacturing stainless steel flatware in America.
Same town.
Same trade.
U.S. steel.
About 70 jobs.
They did not bring back 2,000 workers. Nobody did.
What they saved was the last line.
If you want American-made forks and spoons, this is the factory that still makes them.
Support Liberty Tabletop.
THIS is what keeping manufacturing in America actually looks like. 🇺🇸
Today is Sunday (arguably the best day of the week).

Hi, my name is AJ Inapi.
The next time you see one of my posts, remember this:
🇵🇬 I AM FROM PAPUA NEW GUINEA.
I’m not American. I don’t live in America, and I cannot vote in your elections. I post on X to offer an outside perspective - and to encourage Americans who still believe their country is worth defending.
For those who recently followed me, here’s who I am:
🇵🇬 Proud Papua New Guinean
✝️ Christian and unashamed of my faith
👨👩👧👦 Husband and father of six
🧱 Entrepreneur building HausLink from the ground up
🌎 Working to bring more Americans to experience PNG
🗽 Conservative who believes in God, family, freedom and national sovereignty
🇺🇸 Supporter of President Trump, MAGA and the American people
🇮🇱 Supporter of Israel
🗣️ Willing to say what I believe - even when it is unpopular
🤝 Committed to strengthening the relationship between PNG and America
Why do I care about America?
Because what happens in America rarely stays in America. Your elections, culture, economy and foreign policy affect families and nations around the world - including mine.
I cannot cast a ballot, but I can contribute my perspective.
So if something I write deserves a wider audience, please comment, bookmark, repost or share it across your other platforms. That is how you help my voice travel further.
And occasionally, I’ll remind you that one of the most extraordinary countries on Earth is waiting for you in the Pacific.
Welcome to my page. 🇵🇬🇺🇸

This is false. No one is off the table. We will continue to arrest any and all illegal aliens that come into our path.
Anyone in our country illegally will be arrested and deported.
In an effort to protect American citizens, ICE has initiated a nationwide public safety surge in sanctuary cities where our brave officers will be targeting criminal illegal aliens—many released from jails by sanctuary politicians—including murderers, rapists, child predators, and gang members.
@chiproytx Mark is 8, fighting a brain tumor, and his family is fighting just as hard to afford the treatment he needs.
You reach people who might be able to help — but only if they see this first. A retweet takes seconds and costs you nothing.
Please share🙏🎗
RIP. On his final shift before retirement, K9 Kylo was murdered while protecting the community he had served for six years.
K9 Kylo was murdered when he was shot and killed while attempting to apprehend a homicide suspect in the area of Southeast 97th Avenue and Southeast Oak Street in Portland.
Around 1:45 p.m., the U.S. Marshals Service Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force, working with the Portland Police Bureau and Gresham Police Department, attempted to arrest a man wanted for murder. While trying to apprehend the man, gunfire was exchanged, and K9 Kylo was struck.
K9 Kylo was transported to an emergency veterinary facility, where he succumbed to his wound.
The violent offender was pronounced dead at the scene.
Portland Police described Kylo as “happy, quirky, goofy.” He was known for howling along with the sirens on calls, and off duty he loved exploring the forest and playing with his little brother Apollo, a miniature dachshund.
🖤🙏💙🙏🖤
Two years ago, millions of Americans were praying for President Trump to defeat Kamala Harris. He did - and despite the nonstop noise, he has already delivered major wins.
No, the country isn’t fully repaired. Nobody fixes decades of damage overnight. But surrendering to political defeatism while attacking the man doing the fighting helps nobody.
And let’s be honest: conservatives cannot complain about RINOs while ignoring the elections that put them on the ballot.
Bad candidates survive because good voters arrive too late. They skip the primaries, ignore local party positions and leave the organizing to somebody else - then become furious when November presents them with terrible choices.
Washington is shaped long before Election Day. Candidates are identified, financed and supported while most voters aren’t paying attention.
If you want better Republicans, fight in the primaries.
If you want to stop Democrats, show up in the midterms.
President Trump cannot rebuild America by himself. Trust his leadership, stay involved and bring others into the fight.
A movement that only complains after losing isn’t a movement. It’s an excuse.
Very interesting phenomenon: Almost every pastor I know (from all parts of the country) are experiencing 2 things at the same time right now…
1) More salvation, more baptism, greater attendance than ever before.
2) More attack, more opposition, more viciousness (both online and in-person) than ever before.
All kinds of pastors from all different denominational backgrounds, all different church sizes, and all different regions.
Pray for your pastor.

Today, under the leadership of @VP Vance and the @WHFraudTF team, we saved $2.2 BILLION in tax dollars by evicting over 750,000 phantom enrollees from the ACA marketplace.
No, but it CAN raise up a generation of senior flag officers who care more about warfighting than politics, and who have the cajones to have told multiple Presidents "Sir, we cannot transform Afghanistan into something resembling a liberal democracy. It is an 8th Century feudal society with AK-47s and Toyota Hiluxes, transformation is hopeless, and it is a fool's errand to pretend otherwise."
There is nothing the globalists hate more than a strong and confident America.
America should always put our own core national interests first.
That’s what America first looks like.
