@Itx_judith Same here!

And I was only 11 years old when the Vietnam war ended.

@Ezekle1 You built a trail of evidence proving the school/administration has done NOTHING for years.

Sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands.

I’m glad to see a good ol’ ass-kicking solved the problem. Kudos to Drew!!

I hope the community backs him and you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

1776: They Signed Their Death Warrants…The Blood Price of Liberty and the Savage Birth of a Nation

This is not the sanitized bedtime story they feed you in school. This is the lethal, unvarnished anatomy of the year America stopped asking permission and started signing its own death warrants in ink and blood.

In the sweltering summer of 1776, a band of lawyers, planters, merchants, and farmers in Philadelphia did something no rational subject of a global empire should have done.

They looked the most powerful crown on earth in the face, listed its crimes in meticulous detail, and declared themselves free and independent states. They knew the penalty was treason.

They signed anyway.

This is the whole story…raw, precise, and stripped of the comforting myths.

The long fuse of imperial arrogance and colonial grievance. The shot that truly was heard round the world at Lexington and Concord.

The intellectual artillery of Paine’s Common Sense that made reconciliation impossible.

The tense, knife-edge days in Congress when the Lee Resolution passed and Jefferson’s draft became the most dangerous political document in the modern era.

The brutal military reality of 1776…humiliation in New York, near-collapse in New Jersey, and the desperate miracle at Trenton that kept the flame alive when everything said it should have gone out.

It is the story of fifty-six men who pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor knowing full well the gallows or the ruin of everything they owned awaited them if they lost. It is the story of why July 4th, not July 2nd, became the day we mark…and why the celebrations began even while the war still raged.

But this is also something more.

It is a forensic examination of the philosophical earthquake that shattered divine right and replaced it with the radical claim that rights are unalienable, governments exist only by consent, and the people retain the ultimate power to judge when that consent has been withdrawn.

The contradictions were real.

The hypocrisies were glaring.

The founders were flawed men of their time. Yet the logic they unleashed…natural rights, popular sovereignty, the right of revolution…became a blade that cut deeper than they controlled and is still cutting today.

Modern revisionists want to reduce 1776 to nothing but original sin and settler guilt, as if the principles themselves were the problem rather than the imperfect men who first wielded them.

They want the sins without the self-correcting mechanism the document contained. Raw history refuses that lazy comfort.

The men of 1776 did not fight for a nicer master. They fought for the right to master themselves.

If you want the fireworks-and-hot-dogs version, this is not for you.

If you want the savage, intellectual, blood-soaked truth of how a ragtag collection of colonies tore an empire’s throat out and birthed a republic on the premise that ordinary people could govern themselves without inheriting chains from a distant throne, then read on.

This is 1776 as it actually happened…ferocious, contingent, philosophical, and unapologetic.

The inheritance is still ours. The question is whether we still have the clarity and the spine to defend it.

Read the full piece now.

I'll bet Hillary was thinking she hadn't seen a post about Benghazi in awhile, maybe she'll leave me alone. Not a chance.

We are living in amazing times: the war with Iran is over, gas prices will lower. People's enthusiasm is rising.

There are 4 Americans that should be here to see this aren't there Hillary? Say their names.

We are not backing down. We are not surrendering. And we are not going to let them take Texas.

Together, we are going to defeat James Talarico, save our great state, and save America.

@WietingForAZ Dear Mr. @SenMarkKelly ,

I trust my friends at JSC waaaaaaaaay more than I trust you. And ALL my friends that have worked with you at JSC tell me you are an egotistical, pompous, braggart of an ASS.

Please shrivel up and go away.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

🚨 THREAD: What do Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, and Elaine Chao have in common? They were all paid by a Marxist-Islamist Iran group that was designated as terrorist until 2012.

No, this is not a joke.

Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) was founded by leftist Islamists to oppose the western-backed Pahlavi, and participated in his 1979 overthrow. Khomeini barred MEK afterwards. MEK was implicated in multiple bombings, including that of Americans, and remained an openly armed group until 2003.

Since they got de-listed as a terrorist organization in 2012 on procedural grounds, MEK and their fronts have been actively recruiting US politicians selling themselves as a moderate alternative to Khomeini. But RAND Corporation says MEK meets the qualifications for a cult, citing criteria such as forcing their members to work 16+ hour days and forced divorces.

Polls of the Iranian-American community shows that they do NOT accept Rajavi, MeK's leader, as legitimate, with a 46-point net disapproval - numbers nearly as bad as the existing regime.

As Pence's former Chief of Staff, Marc Short, has already weighed against Trump deal, it's helpful to recall this.

Receipts below. As always, patience as I pull the thread together.👇

@asrodrig2005 @united @guypbenson United can't afford to spend, on average, somewhere around $125,000 to repaint their entire fleet.

And that is the average cost for a B737.

The wide-body a/c, B767, B777, and B787, would average about $150,000 a pop.

703 B737's x $125,000 = $87,875,000

As America celebrates 250 years, our newest specialty livery honors the selfless contributions of our nation’s veterans, including the 8,300 military veterans, of which 1,500 are active members of the National Guard and Reserve forces currently at United.

Painted on both a 737-800 and 787-10, you can track the Stars and Stripes planes with these tail numbers: N91007 and N78285
