Mamdani used America’s 250th birthday to sharply criticize the country, accusing the U.S. of allowing children to go hungry while billionaires gain more power. He never was hungry here but he got to install hate & envy just like Commie Mao did for power.
BREAKING - Hospitals in the U.S. are advertising in Latin American countries, offering “birth packages” of up to $5,000 to foreigners to help them give birth in border states like Texas, allowing their children to be born as U.S. citizens following the new SCOTUS ruling.
You've probably heard this before, but it's always worth repeating. Something extremely cool about the "Star-spangled Banner," the American national anthem, is that it asks a question, and it's the question at the heart of everything in the American worldview.
"Oh, say, can you see
By the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilight's last gleaming..."
So the anthem begins with a question and a scene. One man, a patriot, is asking another man, another patriot, "can you see it?" at sunrise after a long, dangerous night.
The "it" in question is going to be revealed to be the flag, our "star-spangled banner," which they had last fully recognized and honored as the sun set, daylight failed, and night crept over them the evening before.
Can you see it? Say! Can you see it?!
IS IT STILL THERE?!
"Whose broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched
Were so gallantly streaming..."
Here we find that the "it" is in fact the flag, our star-spangled banner, and we learn why the question is being asked.
The flag is described as having flown and streamed gallantly over ramparts of war through a perilous fight. All could have been lost. The flag, and even the fledgling country for which it stands, one nation under God and indivisible.
Say! Can you see it? Now that the light is back?
IS IT STILL THERE?!
"--And the rockets' red glare,
The bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there!--"
They could see it through the battle in the light of the rockets and bombs that threatened them, here and there in quick glimpses. But it was still there throughout! But now? At dawn?
Say! Can you see?
IS IT STILL THERE?!
"Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave?"
The urgency is palpable with every refrain. They have to know. It's the first thing they must know as the sun begins to light the sky, even before it rises.
IS IT STILL THERE?!
Say! Say!! Can you see? Can you see it?!
At the heart of every American beats the fundamental truth and reality that what we have here is precious, that it's worth fighting for, to the death if necessary, and that it's fragile. That at any moment it can be lost. That we have to remember to look for it because last night might have been the night in which it failed.
Every day, every year, every generation.
The American fight for freedom, to live in self-governance within ordered liberty, is ongoing and never-ending. The price of the land of the free is that it must be the home of the brave. We have to defend it, defend it, and defend it again, against all enemies foreign and domestic, because what we have is amazing, rare, fragile, and worth every cent of treasure, every drop of blood, and every risk to our sacred honor to protect it.
Our anthem is not a declaration. It is not a proclamation. It is not a statement.
It is a question.
Every time we sing our wholly unique national anthem, we as American ask the question again. IS IT STILL THERE?! Are we still America? Does that star-spangled banner yet wave?
Because it's a question, the answer is not known. It is not a guarantee. It cannot be taken for granted and isn't. And what an honor to ask and take up our part in the story, in the American Experiment, in the greatest country the world has ever known.
For tonight, the last night of our first 250 years, as the sun gave way to twilight's last gleaming and darkness overtook our land once again, the answer was still yes. We can see it even tonight in the red glare of rockets, with small bombs bursting in air, fill the sky with the noble tribute of fireworks once again.
And we all ask ourselves, will it still be flying at dawn?
This is what it means to be an American.
Happy 250th, America! Now for many happy returns!

A Cessna pilot celebrated America's upcoming 250th birthday by flying a route over Ohio that spelled out "USA 250TH" in the sky ahead of 4th of July weekend.
Victor Davis Hanson says he knows he’ll get in trouble for saying it, but many of the Democrats’ most radical voices are first or second-generation immigrants from FAILED nations.
Ilhan Omar, AOC, Mamdani, Chevalier.
Hanson argues they learned early that trashing America gets them protected and advanced by the left.
HANSON: “One of the things that's not being talked about and I know I'll get criticized for this but here it is...”
“If you look at the candidates, Chevalier, and AOC, and Rashida Tlaib, and Mamdani, and I could go on...”
“But the kingpins, they’re first or second generation...immigrants. And they come from areas that, to be candid and a little blunt, are failed miserable places, such as Ghana or the Caribbean, or many Latin American countries, or Mexico.”
“Almost 50-60% of them are.”
“So they come to this country either with their parents or their parents came and they were born. And they sense, they put their feelers up...and they learn very early on that if you trash this country, the left will protect you and advance you.”
“And no matter how much money you have — AOC’s parents were pretty affluent. Ilhan Omar claims she was worth $30 million. Mamdani’s a multimillionaire settler colonialist from Uganda.”
“And when you look at all of them, they have nothing but contempt.”
“Then don’t come! There’s no reason you have to come. You came here because it was prosperous and safe, and there was not inbred tribal racism as in all these countries.”
“Apparently, the people came with Ilhan Omar because they were on the side of the genocidal [Mohamed] Siad Barre.”
“They keep saying genocide, genocide! The only person that really is a genocidal maniac was Siad Barre, the head of the Somali government, of which a lot of these immigrants’ parents were part of, including Ilhan Omar.”

BREAKING NEWS: Seventy-Two Killed Resisting Gun Confiscation In Massachusetts.
National Guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed by elements of a Para-military extremist faction. Military and law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw.
Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement.
Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the group’s organizers as “criminals,” issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government’s efforts to secure law and order.
The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault weapons.
Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting in early this month between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible confiscation of illegal arms.
One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out that “none of these people would have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily.”
Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition. However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government’s plans.
During a tense standoff in the Lexington town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists.
Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange.
Ironically, the local citizenry blamed government forces rather than the extremists for the civilian deaths. Before order could be restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the guard units. Colonel Smith, finding his forces over matched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat.
Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the attack against the government troops.
Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as “ringleaders” of the extremist faction, remain at large.
And this, My fellow Americans who do not know your History, this is how the American Revolution began on April 1775.

Tulsi Gabbard just described the actual operating system of Washington and it’s somehow even dumber and more insulting than the conspiracy versions.
She needed one printed document for a 10 a.m. Oval Office meeting with the President. A mid-level staffer ... detailed from another agency ... decided he didn’t like what was on it, printed it anyway, then locked it in his desk and refused to hand it over. Her chief of staff went down. Her general counsel went down. Both got told to pound sand until the guy’s real boss at his home agency finally gave permission.
That’s the “deep state.” Not some secret society in a basement. Just some nobody with a desk drawer and a God complex who genuinely believed his personal veto outranked the Director of National Intelligence and the elected President of the United States.
This is what Gabbard means when she says they “thrive in the gaps between elections.” The voters pick a direction every four years. The permanent class decides which parts of that direction are even allowed to reach the Resolute Desk. They control the files. They control the information flow. And they’ve been doing it across administrations for decades because the only thing they actually answer to is each other.
The rest of us are just supposed to pretend the elections are real while these people quietly decide what the winner is permitted to know and act on.
Watch her whole speech if you want the full savage version. But the core truth is brutally simple: America votes. Then the people nobody voted for decide what happens next.

🚨#BREAKING: An 11-year-old boy in Kentucky is being hailed as a hero for RESCUING a man who was drowning and unconscious at the bottom of a pool.
His name is Avory Woolery, he is ELEVEN years old.
According to Avory, the adults around the pool weren't doing anything, so he put on his goggles, dove down, and pulled a grown man up out of the water.
"No one was doing anything, so I put on my goggles. I went underwater. I grabbed him up. There was no way that I was going to let another man die today. He's a human being. He should be treated as such."
WHAT AN ABSOLUTE HERO!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
2006. Senator Obama slams the Bush Administration for not doing more workplace raids to catch and deport illegal immigrants.
It appears that the Democrat party has changed a little bit over the past 20 years. 🤪
This post must go so hard if you’re stupid.
Capitalism didn’t just build the iPhone, it made it possible.
Capitalism raised the capital, took the risk, and coordinated the vision.
Labor showed up because that capital arrived first.
No capital, no factory.
No factory, no jobs.
Capitalism > Socialism every single time.
I am having a drink this evening with a friend in a Chiswick pub. Two policemen have just come into the pub and asked me to step outside. I have stepped outside and they have threatened me because I tweeted about a councillor banning seating outside pubs in Chiswick. They admit on video (watch it!) that I did not break the law at all. They came to threaten me. To warn me off tweeting about councillors and the council. This is modern Britain. This is the police state. Please, please, please watch this video. It does involve me using very bad language, but this has got to be seen. Police coming out to threaten someone who hasn’t committed a crime. I’m fuming.
This black woman went to a hair stylist, who spent about 7 hours on her, and when she finished up, the customer told her she didn’t have the money and if she wanted to get paid, well she had no choice but to just trust her that she’d come back to pay which we all know she wouldn’t have been back.
Stylists and restaurants should be charging beforehand to prevent these dine/hair and dashers from continuing to steal from them.
The funniest part was the obese woman trying to run off 🤣 🤦🏽♀️ This is why we can’t have nice things. The bad apples always ruin it for the rest of us.
🚨 Media figures rushed to fact-check Trump by insisting Democratic Socialism is not Communism.
But a majority of DSA’s national leadership is shaped by Communists, Marxist-Leninists, and members who see the org as fertile ground for radicalization.
My latest for @CityJournal!
We have given Israel 174 billion dollars since 1948 (not adjusted for inflation I’m not good at that).
Of that 124 BILLION was given as a credit to be used in America on American weapons.
That money didn’t leave the country. It became contracts, payroll, and R&D at Lockheed, Boeing, Raytheon, General Dynamics, and hundreds of smaller suppliers. In effect, a large share of “aid to Israel” is a federal procurement program to fund American weapons production.
Defense spending sustains somewhere between 15,000-30,000 American jobs a year depending on which model you use.
And when the Pentagon then buys the same F-35s, interceptors, or munitions, the per-unit cost is lower because Israel’s orders helped spread the fixed costs and sustain the supply chain. So the aid functions as a subsidy to the US defense industrial base that lowers the price America pays for its own weapons.
So the real aide number is actually closer to like 47 billion dollars on actual money that leaves this county since 1948.
The total number of foreign aide, not adjusted for inflation since 1948 (a strong researched conservative estimate) is 1.6 trillion dollars.
So 3%.
That is why I don’t take the anti-Israel critics seriously when they start talking about our aid to Israel.
They don’t honestly analyze the situation and the reason they don’t honestly analyze the situation because they need it to be the only problem that matters and so it’s much cashier to throw out a number then explain it.
But that’s why I don’t take any of these liars seriously.
🚨 BREAKING: California legislators just manipulated the November election and VOTER ID Update!
Assembly Bill 182 attempts to rig and manipulate the position for Props 1 through 5 to favor tax increases and reckless spending.
The same people telling you election integrity matters and there is no such thing as voter fraud just proved they are willing to manipulate the ballot to favor their positions in November.
The prop position you do need to pay attention to is Prop 39. This is the official Voter ID ballot initiative to bring sanity back to Sacramento and add proper safeguards to our elections.
Don’t not be fooled and help us by sharing, commenting, campaigning and save California!
