.@POTUS: "In 250 Years, the Free People of this land have accomplished more with our Liberty than any other society has accomplished even in thousands and thousands of years... What our critics will never understand is that America is not the sum of its mistakes. Our mistakes make us human—our achievements make us American...
We are the nation that dreamed and created the modern world—we laid the railroads, we raised up those big, beautiful skyscrapers, harnessed electricity, and invented the light bulb, the telephone, the airplane, the assembly line, the television, the microchip, the personal computer, the internet, GPS, the smartphone, and almost everything else that has ever been invented—including... a thing called air conditioning.
We charted the human genome to cure diseases, we powered entire cities by splitting single atoms, and planted our flag on the Moon.
Americans filled the airwaves of the planet with our music and our culture. We invented baseball, basketball, football, volleyball, NASCAR, and the Rodeos of the West. Americans have won the most Olympic medals of any country in the world by far, the most Nobel Prizes... and the most world records. We publish by far the most patents, we produce the best movies, we make the best music, and we raise up the greatest entertainers and strongest athletes the world has ever seen.
We built the biggest and most dynamic economy... with, as of last week, 19.2 trillion dollars pouring into the United States from all over the world... And thanks to our great election win and tariffs, plants and factories are being built all over the United States right now...
We created the strongest and most powerful military. We won Two World Wars, the Cold War, and left America’s enemies in the depths of history."
Have you ever heard the Declaration of Independence read out loud?
You should. It’s the greatest break-up letter ever written.
At just 33 years old, Thomas Jefferson, with cold moral clarity, told the British government to pound sand:
“Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness], it is the Right of the People to alter or to ABOLISH it.”
The power of that line isn’t just what it says. It’s how it’s said.
Jefferson wasn’t writing from a place of outrage. He was transmitting conviction—moral clarity delivered from a steady frame of mind.
It’s said Jefferson revised the Declaration of Independence with the help of Franklin and Adams dozens of times before it was finalized.
And that deliberate, cutting language, paired with emotional steadiness, is precisely why the words still land 250 years later.
Today, we’re blessed to be the inheritors of the great nation those steady hands wrote into existence.
Happy Birthday, America. 🇺🇸
@willbarrelUSA@RandPaul "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Actual text.
@giraffeg6747025@RandPaul Nope, that’s wrong and you’re a moron.
2nd amendment is so citizens can defend themselves against a tyrannical government. And no one has a right to infringe that right.
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood..." - Theodore Roosevelt
There’s something deeper going on. Many of us can feel it, and we’re trying to figure it out together.
We’re not always right, because we don’t have the answer key. We’re working backwards, trying to find truth from fragments.
The opposite is true of the propagandists.
They do have an answer key. Maybe it was handed to them. Maybe they earned it through experience. Maybe they’re simply brilliant.
But they don’t share it.
Instead, they use what they know to twist, redirect, and obscure the paths to truth the rest of us are trying to find.
I don’t ultimately know why, or if that’s good, bad, or necessary.
But what’s so interesting to me is that we still live in a time where it’s possible. Where entire systems depend on millions of people being in the dark…
And I just can’t see how that lasts forever.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Sen. Mike Lee just walked out and RIPPED the Senate for taking another 2 week recess, calling on Leader Thune to CANCEL IT for the SAVE America Act
"Why are we taking a recess right now?! Why on EARTH is the Senate wanting to recess for two WEEKS?"
"Now, I get it. America's 250th birthday is coming up. That's great. It's all the more reason why we should finish our work. It's all the more reason why we should finish, do everything we possibly can to pass the SAVE America Act instead of recessing for two weeks." 🔥
"Only come back and work for a few weeks and then recess for another five or six weeks after that!"
"Why? Why even bother to spend all this time and all this effort campaigning and running for office if when we get here we're constantly taking a recess!"
"A recess at a moment when the Republican Party controls the House and the Senate and the White House. Why? Why do we do this?!"
"There's got to be a better way, a way that doesn't constantly involve saying, oh wait, we've got to take a recess, we've got to leave."
"The American people deserve better than this. They deserve to have free and fair elections and we've got to fix it."
Well maybe if you greedy corrupt fucks didn’t use USAID funds to try and commit TREASON the projects that were actually effective could be saved, but with such a large percentage of fraud you have to demolish the entire thing.
And here are the facts. Focus on rebuilding the programs that actually worked. Giving corrupt pieces of shit like you more money is not the path forward.
How is that even possible? Are there no background and database checks?
People applying at McDonalds have to provide their records, but the POTUS can just slip into the white house under someone else’s SSN.
Who helped with setting everything up inside the government before Obama was elected?
@KobeissiLetter Fed outlook as evidenced by JPow was far from created certainty. Removing guidance removes the Fed from politics which was long overdue.
