Charlie Kirk never got to see America’s 250th birthday.

So, in his honor, watch him shut down the typical liberal “stolen land” argument.

A college student confronts Kirk and says Americans are living on “stolen land” taken from the Mexicans.

Kirk asks who the Mexicans stole it from, then expertly turns his own words against him.

By the end, everyone is cheering for America. Watch how this one plays out.

STUDENT: “I want to acknowledge the fact that we are right now on stolen land and that we are on indigenous land and that we are on original Mexican land right now.”

KIRK: “I love this stolen land argument.”

STUDENT: “…I really make it a point to notice that I’m on stolen land at all times, especially when we think about things like Manifest Destiny.”

KIRK: “Who did the Mexicans steal the land from?”

STUDENT: “Actually, the Mexicans were there originally in Texas…”

KIRK: “Wrong. They stole it from lots of Indian tribes… Texas was not indigenously Mexican… there was the Cherokee. There were many different Native American tribes there. So Mexico was participating in Manifest Destiny at the behest of the Spanish crown.”

[Student acknowledges Kirk is right]

KIRK: “At some point, you have to believe in self-determination. If you can win the land, it’s yours. That is what built the West.”

STUDENT: “I can agree with that.”

KIRK: “So instead of a land acknowledgement… you should have a gratitude acknowledgement. ‘Praise God, I live in America! I’m glad!’ A gratitude acknowledgement would be nice.”

[Crowd erupts]

Charlie would have loved to experience America’s 250th birthday more than anyone.

He defended America on campuses exactly like this one until the day he died. The least we can do is carry his message forward.

Rest in Peace, Legend.

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.

@PattyLebsack @BarronTNews_ Yes! They toured other ports, too. Baltimore Inner Harbor.

[Lucydi @Lucydi2]

@PollyGone6 @KingKaliwani @l1nzwright @mattvanswol Yes they are. Same specialty residencies and respect at hospitals.

[Lucydi @Lucydi2]

@CaliRN619 Wow! We routinely operated on 80+ year old hearts. They often did fine. The older ones often did not have diabetes, kidney failure, or bad lungs. That’s how they were over 80. Possibly needing resuscitation was not a no-go.

[Lucydi @Lucydi2]

@mattvanswol I had to read this 3 times. NVM.
