Stop Government Corruption in Wash, Stop Voter Fraud, Honor our Country and Founding Fathers, #RuleOfLaw (for all), Navy Vet. #EnglishLabradorRetriever
AMERICAN PRIDE: The largest-ever fleet of tall ships representing 20 countries sailed up the Hudson River to celebrate America's 250th anniversary. The celebration also included a dramatic red, white and blue military flyover above New York City.
Our hearts go out to the Pennsylvania State Trooper killed by a Haitian Illegal Alien truck driver. Mass deportations will prevent this from happening again. Why are we not conducting MASS DEPORTATIONS IN EARNEST?!?! @atutruckers@LauraLoomer@KatieZacharia
250 years ago, brave patriots, against all odds, declared we would be free, not ruled by tyrants or invaded by those who reject our laws. They pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor so we could live in a sovereign republic where citizens come first. They chose the difficult path…
Today, as a retired Border Patrol Commander with 30 years on the front lines, I see the same fight.
We honor our Founders by securing our borders, enforcing our laws, and carrying out the mass deportations needed to restore order, safety, and our culture.
No more choosing illegal aliens over American workers, families, and communities.
To every citizen: Fly the flag high. Remember the price of liberty. Stand firm.
We’re not surrendering this great nation .
ByeGod, we are taking it back.
God bless you, God bless our agents in the field, and God bless the United States of America, the greatest country on Earth.
Let’s make her stronger than ever. 🇺🇸 💪
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.
There is literally *nothing* more important for the Senate to debate and ultimately pass right now than the SAVE America Act.
Everything else pales in comparison.
Share if you agree.
The Supreme Court has some wonderfully quirky traditions.
From only drinking wine when it's raining to a basketball court on the top floor:
When the justices meet in conference to decide cases, it’s just the nine of them. No clerks. No staff. No recordings. If someone knocks on the door, the most junior justice has to get up and answer it. The newest member of the highest court in the land is literally the doorman.
That same junior justice also takes notes during conference and serves on the cafeteria committee.
Before every conference and every oral argument, each justice shakes hands with the other eight. Thirty-six handshakes. Chief Justice Melville Fuller started the custom in the late 1800s to remind them that disagreement is about principle, not the person.
Lawyers arguing before the Court are still given white goose quill pens at their tables, just like two centuries ago. Win or lose, they get to keep them.
Then there’s the John Marshall story. His Court only drank wine at dinner when it was raining. Marshall would have someone check the weather, and if it was clear outside, he’d declare that in their vast jurisdiction it had to be raining somewhere. They drank anyway.
Oh...and there’s a basketball court on the top floor of the building. They call it the highest court in the land.
I don’t care who you are- seeing the President of the United States escorted through North Dakota by the Rough Riders on horseback like Teddy Roosevelt back in 1883 is pretty cool 🇺🇸
@SusieWiles@realDonaldTrump is on the wrong side of the Palestine story. These commies are winning not because they want to give free stuff, but because they are anti-Israel and anti-Jewish and pro-Palestine.
