[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today marks the 250th anniversary of one of humanity's brightest, strongest, and most influential dreams – the American Dream of an independent, free, and prosperous nation that defends people's freedom, faith, and the pursuit of happiness.

That dream has endured many trials. It did not merely survive – it has, for two and a half centuries now, served as an example for other nations and helped the entire humanity stand firm and become freer. This was especially important in the 20th century, when America helped save the world from the rule of tyrants and built the alliances and partnerships that, for the first time, gave a large part of humanity lasting peace and the opportunity to develop in freedom.

Now, in the 21st century, America's influence and importance are certainly no less. And we see that particularly clearly in Ukraine, which is fighting for its independence, freedom, and our people's right to happiness with much the same hope, the same purpose, and the same determination with which Americans won and defended their own independence.

We deeply value the support of the United States, especially now, during Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine. American weapons – from the Javelins that President Trump decided to give to Ukraine to the Patriots that most reliably protect the lives of our people – everything the United States has provided to help us defend our country demonstrates the strength of the American spirit, American resolve, and American technology.

And we know the value of all these words better than anyone. When we ask America for Patriots, we believe that the values of respect for life and for people that prevailed 250 years ago will prevail again today. The world needs the kind of leadership that guarantees protection for freedom and for life.

I wish America a happy Fourth of July, the President of the United States and all Americans every success, and all of us around the world who value America – fruitful cooperation. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." That is what unites all of us – all who respect America and thank America today.

May the dreams of free people always triumph over the evil and hatred of those who seek to destroy freedom. America, thank you! I am confident that if we're in it together, we'll definitely achieve peace! Congratulations on your Independence Day!

The attack on my Haitian friends and neighbors is as inexcusable as it is unsurprising in a political movement in search scapegoats.
Our church hosts a Haitian congregation, helped to pay for a Haitian church building in central Florida, and has helped with Haitian relief work for years.

One of our elders is a wonderful Haitian man who’s done brilliant work with @compassion He’s an example to me. Our families support Haitian children through Compassion.

I thank God for my Haitian friends, neighbors, and brothers & sisters. We all pray for a new day of freedom and hope in Haiti. And I denounce the mischaracterization of an entire community for political purposes.

There is no race or people without sin nor any race or people bereft a hope in the Savior.

For decades, Springfield had been another shrinking Midwestern town with an uncertain future.

By most accounts, the Haitians have helped revitalize Springfield.

They are assembling car engines at Honda, running vegetable-packing machines at Dole and loading boxes at distribution centers. They are paying taxes on their wages and spending money at Walmart.

Whether you think tariffs will bring back jobs or not, there are two undeniable facts: US brands pay the cost, and they typically pass the cost to consumers. With retail markups, the difference for a suit can be in the hundreds of dollars.

Parents thought the tax credit would reduce what they pay. Instead, many schools raised tuition in a comparable amount to the tax credit. https://t.co/1OuAnAs8ot

[Daniel Long @The_Red_Hat]

Spoiler: This happens in EVERY state that adopts school vouchers. The wealthiest people in the state benefit from having their private school tuition supplemented while the working poor pay for it. They then raise the prices to keep the poors out of the choice places.

Between them they have 17 medals for the USA. One of America’s greatest natural resources is our immigrants and their children.

The Supreme Court was not meant to—and indeed is not capable of—saving us from our choice of leaders.

While Texas schools struggle with a huge budget deficits, @SpectrumNews1TX has discovered that millions of Texas education tax dollars are being diverted out of state to the series of charter schools founded by #HISD’s state appointed Supt. Mike Miles.

@JoashPThomas The audacity in making the unsupported claim that believing exactly what they believe increases conformity to the image of Christ.

[Chris Wertheim @ChrisWertheim]

@martyduren Seems like he is conflating (to use his term) what "can" be done with that "should" be done. Those in the SBC can choose to change how they apply BFM (including changing term definitions), but should it? To do so effectively changes the nature of the organization.

[Chris Wertheim @ChrisWertheim]

@WestHam Thanks for all the great memories! Best of luck!
