In 1982, Robin Williams did a routine as the American Flag for the Norman Lear produced tv special "I Love Liberty" created to bridge political divides - and it's one of the greatest pieces you'll see 🇺🇸
The full historical transcript of the opening prayer at the First Continental Congress, September 7, 1774 at Carpenter’s Hall, Philadelphia:
O Lord our Heavenly Father, high and mighty King of kings, and Lord of lords, who dost from thy throne behold all the dwellers on earth and reignest with power supreme and uncontrolled over all the kingdoms, empires and governments; Look down in mercy, we beseech Thee, on these our American States, who have fled to Thee from the rod of the oppressor and thrown themselves on Thy gracious protection, desiring to be henceforth dependent only on Thee. To Thee have they appealed for the righteousness of their cause; to Thee do they now look up for that countenance and support, which Thou alone canst give. Take them, therefore, Heavenly Father, under Thy nurturing care; give them wisdom in Council and valor in the field; defeat the malicious designs of our cruel adversaries; convince them of the unrighteousness of their cause and if they persist in their sanguinary purposes, O let Thine own unerring justice, sounding in their hearts, constrain them to drop the weapons of war from their unnerved hands in the day of battle! Be Thou present, O God of wisdom, and direct the councils of this honorable assembly; enable them to settle things on the best and surest foundation. That the scene of blood may be speedily closed; that order, harmony and peace may be effectually restored, and truth and justice, religion and piety, prevail and flourish amongst the people. Preserve the health of their bodies and vigor of their minds; shower down upon them and the millions they here represent, such temporal blessings as Thou seest expedient for them in this world and crown them with immortal glory in the world to come. All this we ask in the name and through the merits of Jesus Christ, Thy Son and our Savior. Amen.
This is the most complete and historically accepted version of the prayer. It was offered after Samuel Adams proposed that the Congress begin with prayer.
It’s been nine months since Charlie’s passing, and this is the FIRST Father’s Day @MrsErikaKirk and their babies will spend without him.
While hatred rages for Charlie’s family, there are so many of us wishing Erika love and peace today and always.
Regarding the First Lady’s condemnation of Kimmel’s latest incitement, think what it must be like to have total strangers wishing you and your family dead.
Trump can be a rude provocateur. Kimmel is a sadist masquerading as a comedian.
🚨 WHAT A HERO!
Principal Kirk Moore just got crowned Prom King at Pauls Valley High School in Oklahoma, just 10 days after he charged a school shooter, disarmed the gunman, and took a bullet to the leg to protect his students.
The shooter admitted he planned to kill students, faculty, Moore, and himself.
Thanks to this absolute legend, nobody else got hurt.
Real men still exist. Respect, Principal Moore.

Some years back Robert Duvall stopped off at the Texas Ranger Museum in Waco.
He was in awe of the place and voluntarily cut this promo for them. Off the cuff he delivered the coolest museum testimonial of all time.
“Gus and Woodrow would have really liked this place.”
