And to the Republic for which it stands. The word democracy will be found absolutely zero times in the constitution. Our founding fathers intentionally omitted the word because they established a constitutional republic rather than a direct democracy, aiming to protect against mob rule ensuring checks and balances and protections for minority rights.
There’s a whole lot of educated idiots on TV and in our Congress that should truly educate themselves
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.
Barack and Michelle Obama, please shut your mouths and go away.
Are you kidding me? Y’all are crying about slavery, racism, and George Washington owning slaves right before America’s 250th birthday. Give me a break.
Y’all should be praising America for all the opportunities this country gave you instead of always trying to divide Black and white people and make everyone hate this country.
This is exactly why I put George Washington on my Cousin T’s America 250 Pancake Box. His legacy is much bigger than owning slaves. He fought for independence and helped create the greatest country in the world.
I love America, and I’m proud to celebrate it.
If you would like to order a box, the link is in the comments. We also have gluten-free mixes, syrup, jams, jellies, and more.
Good morning friends. Happy 250th Independence Day. May God Bless our journey into our next 250 years. Now take a listen to Mr Ray Charles, no one does it better.
How to Kill a Country:
Open the border
Allow illegal aliens in by the millions
Give out visas
Don’t enforce overstayed visas
Pause deportations
Allow birthright citizenship
Demonize opposition
Provide free housing
Provide government benefits
Give illegal aliens Driver’s Licenses
Automate voter registration
Mail every voter a mail-in ballot
Install Secretaries of State
Refuse to clean the voter rolls
Install judges
Accept ballots after Election Day
If the Supreme Court is going to rule that children of illegal aliens — born in the US — obtain birthright citizenship,
then I can only conclude that America must ramp up deportation efforts & remove as many illegal aliens as possible immediately.
Last night, we learned that three wildland firefighters—serving with the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Wildland Fire Service—lost their lives on Saturday, June 27, while responding jointly to the Knowles and Gore fires along the Colorado-Utah border.
Additionally, two wildland firefighters were injured in the line of duty and have been transported to a hospital.
This is terrible news and a reminder of what our first responders risk every time they go out to prevent devastation and protect Americans from natural disasters.
Our immediate focus is on supporting their families, friends, and fellow crewmates during this incredibly difficult time.
The USDA and Interior family mourns with them and offers our unwavering support for the loved ones left behind.
We are continuing to pray for their families and loved ones. May God bring them peace during this time.
Their bravery, dedication, and sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Additional details will be shared as they become available.
John Thune. Your job isn’t to whine and cry about not having the votes. Your job is to get the damn votes. Now pull the pacifier out of your mouth change your diaper put you big boy pants on. And get the damn job done.
Let me get this straight.
In America, in 2026, a federal judge just ruled that the government is NOT ALLOWED to check whether the people voting in our elections are actually American citizens.
Let that sink in.
A foreign-born Biden-appointed judge, confirmed on a pure party-line vote, says verifying citizenship is illegal.
Every other country on earth checks. Colombia, a NARCO STATE requires ID to vote. We're told it's a violation of "rights."
How is this controversial? How is this even a DEBATE?
Your vote is being stolen in slow motion.
Pass the SAVE America Act.
Fire Thune and fire his ass now. Not tomorrow Not a week from now but right now. He comes from a farming state, so I’m sure he well aware of being useless as tits on a boar hog. 80% of the American people want the Save Act.
Happy Birthday, President Trump!
Thank you for never backing down, never quitting, and always putting America first. Your strength, determination, and love for this country have inspired millions of Americans.
Wishing you good health, happiness, and many more years of success.
Happy Birthday, Mr. President.
So… we’re expected to believe that in California, out of three candidates, the third place candidate, who conceded her campaign because she was mathematically eliminated from the run-off, suddenly received tens of thousands of votes from mail-in votes which all came in *after* Election Day, while the other two candidates received no late mail-in votes, and the second place candidate (who was surging as a Republican candidate in the bluest state in the country) is now in third place and mathematically eliminated from the run-off.
… and we’re supposed to trust that this is an honest and true election.
If you’re not angry about this, you need to be.
Poster for the SAVE ACT, if ever there were one. A masked Antifa criminal stuffing a ballot box.
Who’s more of a traitor? This masked Democrat operative or Republican fraud John Thune for failing to stop the likes of her(him?)
@TomSteyer This type of rhetoric is deliberate. Saying “every ballot” instead of “every legal vote”. That’s the tell. The real issue is making sure we only count ballots cast lawfully by actual eligible American voters. Nothing more, nothing less. We the people deserve better!
Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸

Oh, Hillary. Hillary, Hillary. You ignorant slut.
As the Senior Military Aide to President Bill Clinton, YOU’RE military aide — the officer who carried the nuclear football in and out of the White House every single day — I saw the “people’s house” up close alongside you. @HillaryClinton
Spare us the sanctimonious lectures. And turn on your replies, coward.
When you and Bill left in January 2001, your staff ransacked the place. Remember?
“W” keys ripped off every keyboard. Phone lines cut. Desk drawers glued shut. Obscene voicemails and vulgar graffiti left behind.
Presidential seals and silverware stolen. Furniture damaged. The GAO confirmed the vandalism and theft. It wasn’t “transition friction” — it was a disgrace.
You trashed the People’s House on your way out the door and now you’re clutching pearls over Trump?
I remember, Hillary. I was there. Remember?
The hypocrisy is Olympic-level, Ms. Clinton. And you know it! You of ALL people know it!
The American people have long memories. Especially this one! Me!
We remember who actually looted the place. Shut up and color.
