Basic financial literacy in this country is almost nonexistent. We don’t teach it in schools. It should be the second most important topic, just after literacy. People don’t understand mortgages, interest rates, compound interest, it’s bonkers this isn’t standard for all schools.

On this day in 1776, the Declaration of Independence was read for the first time before the public in Philadelphia. And the rest is history.

[2001 Live @25YearsAgoLive]

At Pensacola Beach, Florida, 8-year-old Jessie Arbogast is attacked by a bull shark in shallow water.

The shark bites off Jessie’s right arm but Jesse’s uncle, Vance Flosenzier, dives into the surf, grabs the shark by its tail, and drags it ashore.

Once there, Flosenzier wrestles Jessie’s arm from its jaws, then holds it steady until a park ranger can shoot it dead.

After a 12-hour operation, surgeons manage to re-attach Arbogast’s arm. He is in critical condition, but is expected to make a full recovery.

LA banned fireworks.

But you can’t ban American Patriotism, you can’t ban love of this country, no matter how hard you try.

American Patriots - 1

They left home as boys 8 decades ago to go out and save the world. Last night they sat at the WWII Memorial together and celebrated their country's 250th. Still heroic.

It's the 4th of July, on the 250th, and you find out The Liberty Bell has the Bible verse Leviticus 25:10:

"Proclaim Liberty throughout all the Land unto all the inhabitants thereof."

Abraham Lincoln: "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we lose our freedoms, it will be because we have destroyed ourselves from within."

Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men
who signed the Declaration of Independence? Their story. . .

Five signers were captured by the British as traitors,
and tortured before they died.

Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.

Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army;
another had two sons captured.

Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or
hardships of the Revolutionary War.

They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes,
and their sacred honor.

What kind of men were they?

Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.

Eleven were merchants.

Nine were farmers and large plantation owners;
men of means, well educated.

But they signed the Declaration of Independence
knowing full well that the penalty would be death if
they were captured.

Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and
trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the
British Navy. He sold his home and properties to
pay his debts, and died in rags.

Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British
that he was forced to move his family almost constantly.
He served in the Congress without pay, and his family
was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him,
and poverty was his reward.

Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer,
Walton , Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.

At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that
the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson
home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General
George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed,
and Nelson died bankrupt.

Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed.
The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.

John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying.
Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill
were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests
and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his
children vanished.

So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and
silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid.

Remember: freedom is never free!

I hope you will show your support by sending this to as many
people as you can, please. It's time we get the word out that patriotism
is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July means more than beer,
picnics, and baseball games. True "reflection" is a part of this country's
greatness. Please be a participant.

There have been 4 major revolutions in the past 250 years: American, French, Russian, and Chinese. Only one led to individual rights and prosperity. The others led to mass death and tyranny. The US revolution was unique because it said two things: 1. Our rights come from God not from the govt. 2. Humans are power -hungry so we need to limit govt power. So the next time someone attacks the nation of one revolution that succeeded and recycles the the idea of those that miserably failed, you can ask them: are you ignorant, or malicious?

Wherever you are on this Independence Day, take a moment and watch the entire song (not just 8-10 seconds, as it's the average attention span of X videos) and appreciate the words and feeling you hopefully get when you listen to Ray Charles
