250 years ago today on July 2, 1776 the Second Continental Congress voted to declare American independence from the dastardly British and their despotic King.

John Adams wrote the following foreshadowing of 4th of July celebrations:

“The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America.—I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.”

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

@VickieforNYC Ridiculous! No one votes only these lunatics, need to turn out when elections come.

🚨 NOW: The City of Buffalo, New York is being accused of betraying America after CANCELING July 4th fireworks and today going FULL SOMALI MODE by raising the Somali flag at City Hall

THIS IS AMERICA, NOT SOMALIA!

Those Somalis should be sent back, not celebrated!

@EricLDaugh This is disgusting ! Enough with hating this country. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@RepNancyMace Let’s get this done ! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[Rep. Nancy Mace @RepNancyMace]

We introduced a constitutional amendment to clarify the 14th Amendment. A person born in the United States is “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States and eligible for citizenship ONLY if at least one parent is a U.S. citizen, a U.S. national, or a lawful permanent resident.

Children of illegal immigrants will no longer receive automatic citizenship simply by being born on American soil.

We cannot continue to allow this systematic abuse of the Constitution at the expense of the American people.

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

Upset with the SCOTUS decision today?

Call your senator at [phone] and tell them to support my Constitutional Amendment to end Birthright Citizenship. We must protect the integrity of American citizenship.

Charlie Kirk: "Birthright Citizenship was written for freed slaves, NOT the anchor babies of illegals. Pass it on."

Charlie knew.

[Chris Ripa @CHRISsW0RLD]

If you’re not celebrating the 4th of July, deport yourself.

🚨 BREAKING: A retired sergeant in Texas has exposed that Muslims have set up a COMMAND CENTER with weapons, armored vehicles and a training facility - on top of Muslim-only communities and Sharia courts.

SAVE YOURSELF, TEXAS! We can't let this spread!

[Pete @PeteS413]

@RepNancyMace Well said !! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[Rep. Nancy Mace @RepNancyMace]

There is nothing racist about expecting the people who move to this country to love and respect it.

If you hate America, its values, and its people, go back to where you came from.

[Islam Invasion 🚨 @IslamInvasion]

American patriot in a Jacksonville Walmart gets overwhelmed when he hears Islamic chanting blasting through the speakers days before July 4th.

This is how you push back. Film it, speak up, and complain to management.

Don't stay silent!

[Geiger Capital @Geiger_Capital]

Washington had Thomas Hickey hanged for treason in front of 20,000 people in NYC…

He said the execution was a warning to all.
Bring back public hangings.

250 years ago today, on June 28, 1776, a half-finished fort made of palm tree logs and sand did something it had no business doing: it beat the most powerful navy on earth and saved the American South. We just hit the 250th anniversary of one of the most improbable victories of the entire Revolution.

The setup looked hopeless. A massive British fleet under Admiral Sir Peter Parker sailed into Charleston harbor to crush the rebellion in the south before it could grow. Guarding the city was an unfinished little fort on Sullivan's Island, defended by Colonel William Moultrie and a few hundred men. The walls weren't even done. One British officer reportedly figured they'd flatten it in an hour.

Then the palmetto logs did the impossible. The fort was built from soft, spongy palmetto wood packed with sand, and instead of shattering when the British cannonballs hit, the logs just absorbed them. Iron sank into the mush and stuck. The fleet hammered that fort for hours and could not break it, while the American gunners coolly fired back and tore the British warships apart. Several ships ran aground. Admiral Parker himself got hit so hard that the blast literally ripped the seat out of his pants.

And then the moment that became legend. When a cannon blast knocked the fort's flag down, Sergeant William Jasper climbed out over the wall, in the middle of the bombardment, grabbed the fallen colors, and raised them back up so everyone could see the fort still stood.

By nightfall the British fleet limped away. They wouldn't seriously come back to the south for nearly three more years. South Carolina loved that fort so much it put the palmetto tree on its state flag, where it still flies today.

A quarter of a millennium later, the lesson still lands. Sometimes the thing everyone writes off as too soft and too unfinished to matter is the exact thing that refuses to break.
