On this day in 1776, five men were handed an impossible assignment.
Write the document that would declare war on the most powerful empire on Earth.
They had 17 days.
The Committee of Five: John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Robert Livingston, Roger Sherman.
They gave the job to Jefferson. He was 33 years old.
Adams later wrote that he pushed for Jefferson because Jefferson was a better writer and because Adams knew he himself had too many enemies in Congress.
Jefferson wrote the draft in about two weeks, alone, in a rented room in Philadelphia.
Congress then proceeded to argue about it for two days straight and cut roughly 25% of his original text. Jefferson sat in silence and watched them do it.
The part they cut the hardest? His condemnation of slavery.
The document we celebrate every July 4th is the edited version. Jefferson went to his grave preferring the original.
Mike Vasquez was just kiIIed in a car crash in Idaho.
The drunken driver who sped through a stop sign and crashed into him was Nixon Amilcar Ixcoy Lix, an illegal from Guatemala.
Mike leaves behind a wife and three children who will now grow up without their father.
The three kids are in the hospital due to injuries from the crash. Please say a prayer for them.
How many more innocent Americans have to die at the hands of illegals?!
254 years ago today, an 18-year-old tavern-keeper's son borrowed his friend's gun, shot a British naval officer in the stomach, and shouted "I have killed the rascal."
Three years before Lexington and Concord.
Some Rhode Islanders say THAT was the first shot of the American Revolution.
It was June 9, 1772. The HMS Gaspee was a British customs schooner patrolling Narragansett Bay, and her commander, Lieutenant William Dudingston, had made himself the most hated man in Rhode Island.
Every day, his crew boarded merchant ships without warning. Seized cargoes. Confiscated goods with no charges and no recourse. The crew had a financial incentive to collect as much as possible because they shared in the customs revenue. They insulted sailors to their faces. Even the Governor of Rhode Island had written to London complaining about him.
Nobody in London cared.
On the afternoon of June 9, Dudingston made a mistake. While chasing a small packet boat named the Hannah across the bay, the Gaspee ran aground on a sandbar off Warwick. She was stuck until the tide came in, well after midnight.
The captain of the Hannah sailed straight to Providence and found John Brown, the wealthiest merchant in Rhode Island.
Brown didn't waste a minute.
He had eight longboats brought to the wharf, their oars wrapped in cloth so they wouldn't make a sound. Then he sent a town crier through the streets of Providence banging a drum, announcing that the Gaspee was grounded. Anyone who wanted to settle things with her should come to James Sabin's house by the water.
More than 100 men showed up.
Among them: a 19-year-old named Ephraim Bowen, who grabbed his father's gun and ammunition. His friend, 18-year-old Joseph Bucklin, a tavern-keeper's son with nothing to lose.
On a moonless night, they rowed out in silence across the bay.
When they reached the Gaspee, Dudingston leaned over the gunwale in his white shirt and demanded: "Who goes there?"
Abraham Whipple, a Providence seafarer who was also somehow the sheriff of Kent County, answered him.
"I am the sheriff of the county of Kent, G-d d-mn you. I have got a warrant to apprehend you, G-d d-mn you; so surrender, G-d d-mn you."
Bucklin turned to Bowen and said: "Ephe, reach me your gun and I can kill that fellow."
Bowen handed it over.
Bucklin fired. Dudingston took a ball in the arm and lower abdomen and collapsed on the deck, convinced he was dying.
The men swarmed aboard. The crew was captured, Dudingston was carried off the ship, and then they burned the Gaspee to the waterline.
The British launched a full royal commission to find and prosecute the perpetrators.
They couldn't get a single person in Rhode Island to testify against anyone.
Not one.
Nobody was ever charged.
Lexington and Concord happened three years later. Paul Revere got a poem. Joseph Bucklin got a footnote.
Most Americans have never heard his name.
"Nonprofit" hospitals skip $37 billion a year in taxes.
A Johns Hopkins study put the number on it — most of it state and local taxes the rest of us make up.
In return, they're supposed to take care of our communities.
Here's what the biggest ones actually do with it. It's all on their own tax forms. 🧵
100,000 fake degrees. 1 million people. The H-1B program isn't importing the "best and brightest", it's importing fraud at industrial scale.
Americans are being replaced by fake experts with bought degrees,shut down the H-1B program until every qualified American has a job.
Don’t let them gaslight you.
They’re cheaters.
They stole the LA mayoral election.
The late mail-in ballot numbers are… literally unbelievable.
There’s no way the no-name councilwoman Nithya Raman who got 22% of the vote in person…
Organically got 40% in late mail in ballots.
Coincidentally JUST enough to pass Spencer Pratt. How handy.
Meanwhile Karen Bass’s 34% Election Day percentage stayed relatively stable with 38% late mail in ballots.
While Spencer Pratt supposedly completely bottomed out from 30% on Election Day to 20% of late mail ins.
They’re so audacious they don’t even try to hide it.
They know they’ll get away with it.
Because they always do.
But don’t let them convince you that you can’t NOTICE the cheating unless you’re prepared to name in court “Miss Scarlett in the Library” how they pulled off the heist.
This is why they fight tooth and nail against ALL common sense election integrity laws. They need every aspect of the election to be chaotic and vulnerable to make their fraud virtually untraceable.
May God have mercy on our nation.
In 1858 a newspaperman named Frank Leslie found milk left at his New York door. It was bluish. It contained pus. He set out to find where it came from.
What he uncovered became one of the great scandals of the century.
The distilleries of Manhattan and Brooklyn had a waste problem. Whiskey left behind enormous quantities of hot fermented mash, and dumping it cost money. So someone had an idea. Feed it to cows. Hundreds of them, packed into sheds beside the stills, standing in their own manure, fed boiling spent grain until they sickened, their udders ulcerating, their bodies breaking out in sores.
The milk came out thin and blue. They fixed the colour with plaster of Paris and chalk. They thickened it with flour and rotten eggs. They cut it with water from a ditch that ran past the manure pile. Then they painted "Pure Country Milk" on the wagon and sold it from carts across the city as fresh from the meadows of Orange County.
The New York Times put the toll as high as eight thousand infants a year.
This is the milk that built the case for reform. The entire safety apparatus was designed around it. Sick animals, industrial filth, distillery slop, deliberate adulteration, urban sheds without a blade of grass for ten miles.
There were two ways to solve it.
You could stop feeding cows whiskey waste in filthy sheds. Let them eat grass on clean land and sell the milk fresh and local, the way every human had drunk it for ten thousand years.
Or you could keep the sheds, keep the mash, keep the scale, and heat the result until the bacteria died.
When the city finally investigated, the inspectors were tipped off in advance and the committee recommended better ventilation. You know which path they were always going to take. You can taste it.
The frightening thing was never raw milk from a healthy cow on good grass. It was a dying animal in a distillery, held upright by a sling while someone ran whiskey slop through its udder.
We solved that with a process, kept the process forever, banned the healthy version to be safe, and told you the cow was the danger.
Frank Leslie would have had questions.
This is the woman who started the trend of having Black people call Chinese restaurants to place orders and never pick them up in retaliation to Rick Chow being acquitted.
She works for Hewlett-Packard.
Do you think we should call Hewlett Packard, and ask them how they feel?
Here is a black woman beating an Asian lady for not accepting her EBT card at a nail salon.
These videos come out regularly. And yet blacks online are still gaslighting us that Asians are somehow the hateful ones targeting the black community.
If you think things couldn't get any worse over the horrific murder of Henry Nowak.
It's now been revealed that Hampshire police were going to release a statement warning the public not to talk about it online and paint Henry as the aggressor before Digwa's trial!
On June 6, 1944, Technical Sergeant Frank Peregory landed at Omaha Beach with the 116th Infantry.
His battalion was pinned. The bluffs above them were loaded with German positions. Men were dying in the open. No one could move forward. Officers were calling for covering fire that wasn't coming.
Peregory looked up at the hill.
Then he started climbing. Alone. With no orders. No one told him to go. He just went.
He reached the crest, found a German trench, and jumped in.
What happened next is almost impossible to believe.
He fixed his bayonet. He threw grenades. He moved through that trench and killed 8 German soldiers in close quarters combat. Then he reached a group of 35 more and forced every single one of them to surrender.
One American sergeant. 43 enemy soldiers. Alone in a trench.
He opened the path for his entire battalion to push off that beach.
He was awarded the Medal of Honor.
Eight days later, Frank Peregory was killed in action.
He had lied about his age to join the National Guard at 15 years old. He spent his entire adult life as a soldier, preparing for a moment that lasted maybe 20 minutes on a hill above a French beach.
He never knew he had won the Medal of Honor. It was presented to his family. Posthumously.
🚨BREAKING: Miguel Bosé, the biggest Spanish-language pop star of the last few decades, has just released a video taking a knee and putting his hand over his heart in honour of Henry Nowak
This has now spread like a wildfire. Europe has never been more UNITED! 🇪🇸🇬🇧
Just a reminder that the ONLY Republican running for Mecklenburg County (Charlotte NC) District 1 dropped out of the race...
...BECAUSE NOT A SINGLE PERSON WAS ARRESTED FOR FIRING SHOTS AT HIS HOME WHILE HIS WIFE AND KIDS WERE INSIDE!!!!!
Local police SPECIFICALLY CONFIRMED the attack was targeted at Aaron Marin.
Bullet holes can be seen in trees, cars, mailbox, and his kid's basketball hoop. Marin's ENTIRE FAMILY was forced to leave their home and Aaron says they live in, "constant fear."
He says his kids no longer even feel safe to play outside and they are moving now.
CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHY ZERO MAINSTREAM MEDIA OUTLET COVERED THIS??????!!!!!!
REPUBLICANS ARE LITERALLY BEING SHOT AT AND THERE IS SILENCE FROM THE MEDIA!!!!!!
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?!!!!!!
Is Texas Children’s Hospital going to kill this child as retribution because they are angry at AG Ken Paxton for successfully blocking them from doing trans surgeries on children?
This tiny little girl has shown some signs of recovery nearly drowning on Memorial Day and multiple doctors agree the hospital needs to give her time for the swelling on her brain stem to go down - but the Hospital is pushing to do a brain function test and wants the family to donate her organs. Debra Sukin is the President & CEO. She will not let this child be transferred to another hospital - she is blocking the parents from fighting for the life of their little girl and violating their religious belief in the sanctity of life. The parents got a temporary restraint order against the hospital to give jen time & a radical Progressive judge blocked it & gave the hospital the right to do the brain function test now before she has had time to heal.
There are TWO other Texas hospitals in the area standing by ready to take this child. How can anyone let Texas Children’s murder this little girl?
Please share, please raise your voices, please do anything you can. #releaseannelise
Finland 🇫🇮:
A Finnish girl is attacked by a group of immigrant women and daughters of immigrants.
The “new Finns” film the entire beating on their phones and share the video online.
This kind of assault has now become common across almost every Northern European country.
The only solution: Mass deportations.
There is an animal that:
- Walks to her own food on her own legs
- Eats grass humans cannot digest
- Drinks rainwater that falls whether she's there or not
- Needs no pesticide, herbicide, irrigation, factory, or refinery
- Builds topsoil 30 to 50 times faster than nature
- Fertilises the ground that grew her dinner
- Supports dozens of wildflower, insect, and bird species
- Reproduces herself once a year, free of charge
- Produces meat, milk, butter, cheese, cream, leather, tallow, suet, bone, and broth
- Delivers complete protein, every fat-soluble vitamin, haem iron, B12, zinc, and choline
- Has done all of this, on the same hillsides, for ten thousand years
- Runs on sunlight
And we have spent thirty years being told this animal is the problem.
The fermentation tank in Singapore, drawing power from a fossil fuel grid, fed on monoculture soy from a deforested Brazilian plain, producing a beige paste with twenty-two ingredients, is the solution.
The audacity is breathtaking.
🚨 WOW! It's just been revealed that fraudsters' assets have been SEIZED by law enforcement, this CBS reporter noticed that the warehouse is filled with MERCEDES and luxury vehicles
Exact thing Nick Shirley found!
A fraudster pleaded GUILTY to submitting over $270 MILLION in the state's Medicaid program, and was paid $170M
FA US ATTORNEY ESSAYLI: "What's most egregious about this is it was basically no questions asked. He basically exploited a loophole in the state's processing system."
CBS: "That loophole court records show meant healthcare providers got reimbursed for prescription drugs that were not medically necessary and often not even given to patients."
Allowing fraud is a betrayal of all American citizens.
Girls locked in dog cages, girls raped by dogs, girls passed around as rape toys at Eid celebrations.
Everyone involved needs to hang.
Especially including the regime anti-racists who enabled all of it.
