@SpecialForceWeb Unfortunately the people who made those decisions didn’t have to pay.

[History With Jacob @HistoryWJacob]

The vote that would create the United States was deadlocked, and the man who could break the tie was eighty miles away, dying of cancer, on the wrong side of a thunderstorm.

His name was Caesar Rodney. On the first of July 1776, while Congress argued itself toward independence in Philadelphia, he was stuck back in Delaware. He was tamping down Loyalist trouble, in constant pain from the cancer eating at his face and fighting for breath due to his asthma.

Then the letter came. Delaware's two delegates in Congress were split. One for independence, one against. Without a tiebreaker, the colonies would not stand united. And a divided front was exactly what the Crown was counting on.

He did not hesitate. He climbed onto his horse near midnight and rode straight into the storm. Lightning split the sky. The roads turned to sludge. A journey that normally took two days but he made it in eighteen hours. He stopped only to change horses, soaked with every mile.

He reached Independence Hall on the morning of July 2 just as the vote was called, still in his boots and spurs. Caked in mud. Thomas McKean never forgot the sight of him standing in the doorway.

Rodney walked in and cast his vote for independence. It broke Delaware's tie, and with that, not a single colony stood against the break from Britain.

On this day, 250 years ago, a dying man rode all night through a storm so America could be born.

America 250 🇺🇸

@MikeMil00855997 @WhitakerTA_ So if you were accused of not conducting yourself properly by abuse of alcohol in a budget meeting how would you have responded?

@elonmusk Maybe just maybe academics should come first before politics especially looking at the results in their failing test scores.

@XJournalist111 @amuse Yeah that’s where I would go to get unbiased information.

Congress’s week of work…🚨

1) Voted to HIDE their “sexual misconduct” reports.

2) Voted NOT to fund or pay our TSA/DHS/CoastGuard.

3) Voted NOT to further investigate Ilhan Omar’s immigration status.

Whatcha think about that? 🤔

@tedlieu @SecRubio Why are you still in Congress
