Egypt loves Palestinians so much they build a fortress of border walls to keep all the Palestinians out of Egypt. So humane and caring 😂
Islamic virtue signalling off the charts
I deployed to Iraq in ‘06 with a willingness to die for my country. I returned with a determination to live for my country.
America is an aberration—a tiny island of grace, goodwill, trust, order, and liberty in a dark worldwide sea of suffering, despotism, torture, and injustice.
I will fight to preserve it with everything in me—not for my own comfort and safety—I think it’s fair to say I’ve already shown a willingness to give that up. I fight instead for my children, my neighbor, and for the rest of the world that still looks to America as a beacon of hope.
For them, I will hold fast to this precious birthright with white knuckles, and use what influence I might have to utterly destroy everyone who threatens it. So help me God.
If anyone doubts that Ben Franklin was a man of faith at the end of his life, read what he said at the close of the Constitutional Convention in 1787. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
“The manner in which the whole of this business had been conducted was such a miracle in human affairs, that if I had not been in the midst of it, and seen all the movements, I could not have comprehended how it was effected. I had no doubt of our finally succeeding in this war by the blessing of God. This is the greatest revolution the world has ever seen....I have lived a long time; and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men! If it had not been for the justice of our cause, and the consequent interposition of Providence in which we had faith, we must have been ruined. If I had ever before been an atheist, I should now have been convinced of the being and government of a Deity. It is He who abases the proud and favors the humble! May we never forget his goodness to us, and may our future conduct manifest our gratitude.” --Benjamin Franklin
Do you feel the cultural shift?
The Left demonized Patriotism as racist.
The Left demonized Masculinity as toxic.
They told you America was inherently bad.
They did this so people would be afraid to fight back and to weaken men.
All so they could…
Destroy America.
Destroy American exceptionalism.
But due to President Trump…
Patriotism is cool again.
Masculinity is celebrated.
People are no longer staying quiet.
America is getting back to being America.
There is no apologizing.
The Left are the unhappy miserable outcasts and everyone sees it.
They hate America and what America stands for.
It started with USA Hockey and Jimmy’s Famous Seafood telling the Media to “Go F*ck Yourself”.
Then Trump making DC monuments beautiful again.
Then Team SpaceX launches standing proudly in front of American flags.
Then the US National Team standing Patriotically with hands over their hearts during the anthem.
Then UFC at the White House in its full patriotic glory.
Now Americans proudly celebrating the 250 birthday of the GREATEST country on Earth.
Pure unapologetic Masculine Patriotism.
They might seem like little things.
But they’re not.
Winning the Culture War will lead to saving America.
And America must be saved.
Save America to save the West.
Save the West to save the World.
God bless the United States of America!🇺🇸
This was the final minute of Vice President Vance's spellbinding salute to America.
Vance closed his July 4th speech with a powerful message that EVERY American has a role to play in the next 250 years of American greatness.
He tells his fellow Americans: “I’m proud of you.”
VANCE: “When we went to the moon, of course, our great astronauts flew the rockets, and our great men of science and engineering built them.”
“But there were clerks and janitors and welders like my grandfather, who each played their distinctive American part.”
“All of us have a part.”
“All of us had our part, our role to play in creating 250 years of a proud American story.”
“And all of us will need to do our part to create the next 250 years of American greatness.”
“So I say to all my fellow Americans, I'm proud of you, happy birthday and happy birthday to or great nation.”
“Today, my friends, we celebrate and tomorrow we get back to work. God bless you!”
“For in a republic, who is "the Country"? Is it the Government which is for the moment in the saddle? Why, the Government is merely a servant — merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn't. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them.
Who, then, is "the country?" Is it the newspaper? Is it the pulpit? Is it the school-superintendent? Why, these are mere parts of the country, not the whole of it; they have not command, they have only their little share in the command. They are but one in the thousand; it is in the thousand that command is lodged; they must determine what is right and what is wrong; they must decide who is a patriot and who isn’t.
In a monarchy, the king and his family are the country; in a republic it is the common voice of the people. Each of you, for himself, by himself and on his own responsibility, must speak. And it is a solemn and weighty responsibility, and not lightly to be flung aside at the bullying of pulpit, press, government, or the empty catch-phrases of politicians. Each must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, and which course is patriotic and which isn't.
You cannot shirk this and be a man.
To decide it against your convictions is to be an unqualified and inexcusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let men label you as they may.
If you alone of all the nation shall decide one way, and that way be the right way according to your convictions of the right, you have done your duty by yourself and by your country — hold up your head! You have nothing to be ashamed of.”
- Mark Twain
Today, America wakes 250 years later as a beacon of hope, a republic entrusted to its people, an idea that changed the world.
A nation worth preserving. A dream worth pursuing. A freedom defended by every generation.
Happy 250th, America! 🇺🇸
To the Americans:
I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.
And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:
You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.
This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.
Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.
This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.
But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.
This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.
And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:
Thank God for the United States.
Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.
Long may your admirable country dominate the world.
Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.
May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.
Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.
Thank God for the USA.
Happy 250th.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson
The Hill is out with my column on how America is celebrating our 250th anniversary with a mix of fanfare and fury. https://t.co/3n9AfX2rt1 Despite the hatefest by some on the left, we remain a country committed to a common article of faith: "E pluribus unum" — "out of many, one."
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. 🇺🇸
The full historical transcript of the opening prayer at the First Continental Congress, September 7, 1774 at Carpenter’s Hall, Philadelphia:
O Lord our Heavenly Father, high and mighty King of kings, and Lord of lords, who dost from thy throne behold all the dwellers on earth and reignest with power supreme and uncontrolled over all the kingdoms, empires and governments; Look down in mercy, we beseech Thee, on these our American States, who have fled to Thee from the rod of the oppressor and thrown themselves on Thy gracious protection, desiring to be henceforth dependent only on Thee. To Thee have they appealed for the righteousness of their cause; to Thee do they now look up for that countenance and support, which Thou alone canst give. Take them, therefore, Heavenly Father, under Thy nurturing care; give them wisdom in Council and valor in the field; defeat the malicious designs of our cruel adversaries; convince them of the unrighteousness of their cause and if they persist in their sanguinary purposes, O let Thine own unerring justice, sounding in their hearts, constrain them to drop the weapons of war from their unnerved hands in the day of battle! Be Thou present, O God of wisdom, and direct the councils of this honorable assembly; enable them to settle things on the best and surest foundation. That the scene of blood may be speedily closed; that order, harmony and peace may be effectually restored, and truth and justice, religion and piety, prevail and flourish amongst the people. Preserve the health of their bodies and vigor of their minds; shower down upon them and the millions they here represent, such temporal blessings as Thou seest expedient for them in this world and crown them with immortal glory in the world to come. All this we ask in the name and through the merits of Jesus Christ, Thy Son and our Savior. Amen.
This is the most complete and historically accepted version of the prayer. It was offered after Samuel Adams proposed that the Congress begin with prayer.
This is because the anti-capitalist left is not actually against people being crazy rich. They're against certain types of people being crazy rich.
Artists and athletes make sense to them because they've played music and sports and because their success can be explained by "luck" and "talent". Messi's wealth is not offensive to them because they understand Messi is much better at football than they are.
But when it comes to business, the anti-capitalist leftist has no framework for understanding why Jeff Bezos might be super rich since 99% of them have never ever created a product, business or service that was of value to other people. They've never taken entrepreneurial risk. They've never employed people and felt the burden of responsibility that comes with that. They've never pick up a business and given it a play in the way they've picked up a ball or a guitar.
They *literally* don't understand wealth creation. They think there is a fixed amount of money and the only thing a business does is split it unfairly.
It's why they rage at Elon and other successful business leaders. Because they genuinely don't understand why they're wealthy.
Also, and this is just as important, athletes and artists are disproportionately young, attractive, "diverse", left wing etc. Business leaders are "evil" middle aged white men whose success offends the average anti-capitalist leftist because they don't understand a) what it is they do and b) that Elon Musk has the same talent advantage on them as Messi does, it's just harder to measure.
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?
