The saddest part is that America graduates enough STEM majors every year to fill all new openings in tech or tech adjacent fields-- yet all of the jobs that haven't been replaced by AI are going to H-1Bs or being filled by DEI quotas. We are systemically pulling up the ladder for the next generation of American ingenuity.
This is Victoria Eileen Harwell.
She was 31 years old.
She was killed when an ILLEGAL from Ecuador was driving drunk & hit her vehicle head-on also injuring her sister & daughter in Minnesota.
He was charged with criminal vehicular homicide & ICE placed a deportation detainer which the Hennepin County Jail REFUSED to honor & he was released without notification to ICE. ICE arrested him 3 days later.
Tim Walz & his policies are getting American citizens killed.
Socialism/communism is not freedom... it’s never been!!! 🔥
It is easy to be a socialist in a free country. It is easy to romanticize communism from the safety of a nation that protects your speech, your property, your movement, your business, your faith, and your right to criticize the government.
But try being free in a socialist or communist country.
Try criticizing the ruling party. Try mocking the ideology. Try challenging the state. Try keeping what you earn, saying what you believe, raising your children without government interference, or posting the wrong opinion online.
Suddenly all that talk about “compassion,” “equality,” and “the people” disappears.
What replaces it is control.
That is the whole point. Socialism always sells itself as kindness. It promises fairness, security, free stuff, and a better life. Then the bill comes due, and the price is liberty. The government that promises to give you everything eventually decides it owns everything, including your voice.
You do not even have to look only at the old communist regimes to see the warning signs. Look at the UK right now.
Freedom House reported that more than 12,000 people were arrested in 2023 under communications laws, including for social media posts, and the UK government itself has acknowledged concerns over police investigating and making arrests after allegations of offensive behavior online.
That should chill every American who still understands the First Amendment.
The freedom to be wrong, rude, offensive, unpopular, sarcastic, religious, political, or politically incorrect is not a loophole. It is the point.
Socialists enjoy freedom in America while defending ideas that would destroy freedom wherever they take power.
Follow-up, never let anyone sell you government control as compassion.
Question, if socialism is so wonderful, why do socialist systems always have to silence the people who disagree?
This parasite, Bill Ayers, infected Obama from day one. Like syphilis he seemed to disappear, only to emerge more destructive than ever decades later. A true spirochete in America’s bloodstream.
🚨Breaking New election integrity bill doesn’t only mandate citizenship and ID to vote — it makes states CLEAN THEIR ROLLS of illegals, and penalizes officials who register illegal voters
This would DESTROY the Democrat Party as we know it!
Do you firmly support this?
A. Huge Yes
B. No
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Spencer Pratt just OBLITERATED Communist Ugandan Mayor Mamdani for 5 minutes straight
"F*CK YOU, COMMUNIST! This is OUR HOME and YOU CAN'T HAVE IT."
"Commie Mamdani's ancestors NEVER BLED FOR THIS COUNTRY. He has no history here. So he has no attachment to our home. He has no place to rewrite our history and lecture us about what our country stands for!" 🔥🔥🔥
"We aren't cowards. We don't turn our backs on the painful memories because they make us who we are. Be proud of our country, damn it!"
"We all had to sit and watch that vile commie mayor sit on the wrong side of our founding father's desk to try and lecture us about our own history!"
"Notice how the communists always attacks your history. The communists must attack YOUR history."
"Why? Because history is what anchors you. It's what makes us attached to something."
"Erasing history is how you demoralize people, how you unmoor them, and detach them from their society, so you can take it from them and rewrite it in your image!"
"Communism is an evil anti-human religion. So it must destroy what makes us human. The Communist destroys your history so he can take your home and rebuild it in his image."
"That's why it's your patriotic duty to celebrate today unashamed. It's okay to love America. Not only is it okay to love America, it's necessary to love America."
"Our history is violent. F*ck yeah it is. And that's why we love it!"
"Not only is it a miracle that this radical experiment itself, governance even survived past 1776. But we are the champions of the world. Be proud of that."
"Be proud of your history. Millions of your ancestors fought and died to preserve it.
"So celebrate today. Show some American pride. Honor your history. Raise your flag"
"Today we celebrate our Independence Day. God bless America."
To the Americans:
I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.
And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:
You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.
This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.
Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.
This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.
But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.
This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.
And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:
Thank God for the United States.
Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.
Long may your admirable country dominate the world.
Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.
May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.
Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.
Thank God for the USA.
Happy 250th.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson
Happy Independence Day!
Today marks the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding. A small group of colonists, guided by conviction and faith in God, chose freedom over servitude and risked everything for it. Though uncertain of success, they believed freedom was worth the risk. Their courage established the greatest Republic in history. Happy 250th Independence Day. God bless the United States of America. Let’s get after another 250 years of Freedom! 💪🏼🔥🍀🙏🏼🇺🇸
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.
