Louis XVI of France declared war on Great Britain today in 1778.
This brought France directly into the American Revolutionary War in support of the colonies.
Yesterday, four of the world’s most iconic tall ships raced head-to-head offshore before making their way to Boston for #SAIL250.

On the eve of this country’s 250th birthday, remember the Patriot victory on Sullivan’s Island over the largest Navy in the world, and what it meant to every Patriot who dared to believe in their own nation. Victory on Carolina Day helped cement their cause.

Our farmland is a blessing of God’s creation, and we must protect our farms from Chinese land grabs, and the out of control expansion of data centers and solar. Farmland is for farming!
As your Commissioner of Agriculture, I will work with the legislature and with farmers to preserve and protect our farmland. Food security is a matter of national security. 🇺🇸

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.
@DaveEDanna An incredible four years. Such renewal of mind, body and spirit. Which you now enjoy with family and friends. Your “virtual” friends here celebrate with you!
The annual Pentecost tradition (today!) at Rome's Pantheon is a moment of extraordinary beauty.
It occurs every year on the seventh Sunday after Easter. At noon, after the Holy Mass, thousands of rose petals are dropped through the oculus of the mighty dome.
As the petals fall, a choir sings "Veni Sancte Spiritus," known as the Golden Sequence, a masterpiece of sacred Latin poetry.
This is to celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Virgin Mary and the Apostles.
The rose petal ritual likely dates back to 607 AD when the pagan temple became a Christian church.
🚨 WOW! Rep. Wesley Hunt just made the Democrats SPEECHLESS after dropping straight truth nukes
"My own father, who grew up in a segregated South, had to walk around to the back of a restaurant just to order a sandwich because of the color of his skin."
"THAT was Jim Crow, and THAT is precisely why it is so offensive to compare that era of legalized discrimination and racial terror to showing a PHOTO ID in a voting booth!"
"And it's just as offensive when groups and organizations like these manufacture faux hate and racial tension, requiring identification of vote."
"It's not oppression. It is not segregation. It is not racism."
"It is a basic standard that applies equally to every single American citizen, regardless of what you look like. You need an ID to board a plane. You need an ID to cash a check."
"You need an ID to buy alcohol. You need an ID to enter these very federal buildings. And by the way, attaining an ID in this country is an extremely low bar."
"But somehow showing an ID to vote in America is now considered to be Jim Crow 2.0. This is NOT about civil rights. This is about political theater. And the Democrat Party survives on manufacturing grievance."
