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?
Happy birthday America! I am very proud, No, I am extremely proud to be a Christian American! Born and raised in this beautiful land, which I love! Yes, I love America! #USA
I was born in Germany, I grew up in Spain, I’ve lived in the US for 15 years, and I’ve been a US citizen for about a year.
I never really understood patriotism until I became American.
Usually, when people move to other countries they are expats. A German in Spain for example. When people move to America they become American.
It’s the greatest country on earth and an experiment worth fighting for.
Happy 4th of July. 🎆
Have you ever heard the Declaration of Independence read out loud?
You should. It’s the greatest break-up letter ever written.
At just 33 years old, Thomas Jefferson, with cold moral clarity, told the British government to pound sand:
“Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness], it is the Right of the People to alter or to ABOLISH it.”
The power of that line isn’t just what it says. It’s how it’s said.
Jefferson wasn’t writing from a place of outrage. He was transmitting conviction—moral clarity delivered from a steady frame of mind.
It’s said Jefferson revised the Declaration of Independence with the help of Franklin and Adams dozens of times before it was finalized.
And that deliberate, cutting language, paired with emotional steadiness, is precisely why the words still land 250 years later.
Today, we’re blessed to be the inheritors of the great nation those steady hands wrote into existence.
Happy Birthday, America. 🇺🇸
What an appalling speech the Mayor of New York delivered for the 250th anniversary of the nation.
Sadly, it reflects the view of America propagated for years by Howard Zinn and his like-minded colleagues in the universities and believed by armies of the young: a dark, oppressive country where common people are denigrated by tyrants and oligarchs, where immigrants are treated with contempt, where those with “soft hands” hold the wealth created by those with dirty hands.
No sensible person would claim that our country is without flaws, but the relentlessly negative picture painted by Mayor Mamdani is just absurd.
And it is the fruit of the Marxism that, sadly, is all the rage today.
@TomCottonAR And yet the @SenateGOP, including you, @TomCottonAR , refuse to pass the Save America Act by whatever process necessary. No action is an action.
Le WEF, un projet capitaliste ? C'est précisément l'inverse.
Comme le « progressisme » est un anti-progrès. Comme l'« antiracisme » est devenu un racisme. Le WEF est un projet profondément anti-économique.
On confond capitalisme et présence de milliardaires. Mais le capitalisme, ce n'est pas « des gens riches existent ». C'est un processus : l'échange libre, les prix qui transmettent l'information, la concurrence, l'entrepreneur qui risque SON capital, le consommateur souverain qui tranche.
Davos propose l'exact opposé. Une économie administrée par une caste de technocrates que personne n'a élus. La concurrence remplacée par des cartels de « parties prenantes ». Le profit-et-perte — seul signal qui dit le réel — remplacé par des scores ESG décrétés d'en haut. Ce n'est pas le marché. C'est de la planification, repeinte aux couleurs du privé.
Et le slogan ? « Vous ne posséderez rien et vous serez heureux. »
L'abolition de la propriété privée, c'est la définition littérale du communisme. Marx ne disait rien d'autre. Un projet dont l'horizon est de te déposséder ne peut pas, par construction, être capitaliste.
Reste l'outillage. L'euro numérique : une monnaie programmable, donc conditionnable, restreignable, périssable à distance. Le DSA : le contrôle de ce que tu as le droit de dire. Chat Control : la surveillance de tes messages privés.
Hayek l'avait écrit : la planification centrale finit toujours par exiger le contrôle de l'information, puis celui de l'individu. La Route de la servitude, version 2.0.
Mets tout bout à bout : une société sans propriété, sans concurrence, sous surveillance financière et informationnelle totale, pilotée par une élite à qui tu n'as jamais rien délégué.
Ça porte un nom. Et ce n'est pas « capitalisme ».
WEF + UE, c'est un projet collectiviste à l'esthétique orwellienne. Le costume capitaliste, c'est exactement ça, le tour de passe-passe.
@JamesTate121 Your moronic comment is an indictment of the school system. And your laziness in understanding why the electoral college was set up to begin with.
@Murk441 Have you felt shame for the race you were born, or the gender you were born, or even the color of hair you were born with? Absolutely not. You shouldn’t and neither do I.
Congress’s core duty is to fund the government.
But Senate Democrats are again preparing to abandon that duty and shut down the government.
They want to create as much chaos as possible because they think it helps them politically.
