After South Carolina reverses its position, Continental Congress votes to declare INDEPENDENCE from Britain, adopting a legal separation from the Crown.
Charles Thomson, Secretary for Continental Congress, uses hash marks to note how many colonies voted for the severance from the Crown.
John Adams writes in a letter to his wife, Abigail, that “the second day of July, 1776 will be the most memorable epoch in American history.”
But although newspapers report the independence, no mass celebrations break out.
#NJDevils' Arseny Gritsyuk spoke to the media this morning (he recently signed his new deal). I asked him what it means to him for the @NJDevils to commit to him for three more years (at least). @sportsology
"We have good roster this season and we have better roster next season. I am so happy and so exciting to start preseason camp because, so interesting for me, lineups, new guys.
"I see this guy, maybe it is my fault, but Evan Rodrigues, Florida guy, I see his game, but he is so, so good. I wanna practice with him.
"Nico (Hischier) deal, it's unbelievable for us, for team, because our captain stay with us. He's very good guy. He's helped me every time on game, on life.
"I'm so exciting to see guys because, Jack Hughes, I miss him. Hey, let's go. For me, it's new step because, it's my first season signed and now I have to three more for win (Stanley) Cup.
"It's like, score goals. One step, give pass, second step. But, win Cup, it's like 10 step and, for sure, everybody wanna win Cup, but I wanna more."
the fact that she's given so much and has not run out of money really puts into perspective how the arguments against a wealth tax on billionaires are just bs
The United States has for the first time approved a text stating that it is no longer a neutral mediator in the Russia–Ukraine war, Macron said.
“The document states that the United States supports Ukraine’s territorial integrity, provides military assistance, helps with energy, and imposes sanctions on Russia.”
Jason Robertson said his younger brother Nick was more of a Sidney Crosby fan growing up, and had a Fathead of the Penguins captain on his wall. "I liked the Devils growing up, and he would always rinse the Devils," Jason said.
Reagan is rolling over in his grave. Iran’s nuclear ambitions were not curbed, and they have learned that threatening the Strait of Hormuz works and will undoubtedly leverage it in the future. Now, Iran gets to build brand-new infrastructure under this deal.
Before the war, the strait was open, Iran was being crushed by sanctions, and 13 service members were still alive. Now, 13 Americans are dead, families have paid billions at the pump, sanctions will be lifted, and the bombing has stopped. This is the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.
