Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men
who signed the Declaration of Independence? Their story. . .

Five signers were captured by the British as traitors,
and tortured before they died.

Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.

Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army;
another had two sons captured.

Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or
hardships of the Revolutionary War.

They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes,
and their sacred honor.

What kind of men were they?

Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.

Eleven were merchants.

Nine were farmers and large plantation owners;
men of means, well educated.

But they signed the Declaration of Independence
knowing full well that the penalty would be death if
they were captured.

Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and
trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the
British Navy. He sold his home and properties to
pay his debts, and died in rags.

Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British
that he was forced to move his family almost constantly.
He served in the Congress without pay, and his family
was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him,
and poverty was his reward.

Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer,
Walton , Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.

At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that
the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson
home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General
George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed,
and Nelson died bankrupt.

Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed.
The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.

John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying.
Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill
were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests
and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his
children vanished.

So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and
silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid.

Remember: freedom is never free!

I hope you will show your support by sending this to as many
people as you can, please. It's time we get the word out that patriotism
is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July means more than beer,
picnics, and baseball games. True "reflection" is a part of this country's
greatness. Please be a participant.

The best rendition!!!

[Wesley Hunt @WesleyHuntTX]

This is the definitive rendition of our National Anthem. Whitney Houston didn’t just sing it—she made us feel it. Patriotism. Pride. Purpose.

A moment that reminded us why we love this country.

Happy Birthday, America. 🇺🇸

In 1982, Robin Williams did a routine as the American Flag for the Norman Lear produced tv special "I Love Liberty" created to bridge political divides - and it's one of the greatest pieces you'll see 🇺🇸

“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14)

[Wesley Hunt @WesleyHuntTX]

Turn the volume up.
Stand for the nation.
Sing every word.

For the 250th time…
Happy Birthday America. 🇺🇸

[Tom Fitton @TomFitton]

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

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. 🤪

The temperature in New York City on July 3rd, 1966 was 103 degrees.

The temperature in New York City on July 3rd, 2026 is 97 degrees.

At what point is our country finally going to have a serious conversation about global cooling?

[Gene Simmons @genesimmons]

Happy 250th Anniversary to the greatest country in the world. Lest we forget, without America’s Veterans, America simply wouldn’t exist. All gave some. Some, gave all. God Bless America.

If anyone should be here for America’s 250th year anniversary, it should be him.

🚨 LMFAO! CNN just got EXPOSED refusing to raise the thermostat to 78 degrees despite host Abby Phillip supporting Zohran Mamdani's demands

BEN FERGUSON: "By the way, just to be clear, it's NOT 78 degrees in here right now! No one's gonna buy this, it's absurd!"

PHILLIP: "This is a WEIRD hill to die on...you can let this one go."

FERGUSON: "Or we can turn it up to 78 right now in solidarity we stand with Mamdani!"

PHILLIP: "You don't have to jump off the partisan cliff."

FERGUSON: "It's not 78 in here!"

🤣🤣👏🏻

When challenged on the notion that America wasn’t founded as a Christian nation, Charlie Kirk responds: “9 out of the original 13 states required … a declaration of faith to be able to serve in government.”

America was founded as a Christian Nation.

So glad they didn’t say “well, we don’t have 60 votes, so let’s recess and then move on to something else.”

Who’s with me?

[David J Harris Jr @DavidJHarrisJr]

Sen. Mike Lee: "JD Vance can come to the Senate ANY TIME he wants & immediately assume the position in the Presiding Officer chair."

Thoughts?

At a time when Virginians are already struggling with higher electric costs, Governor Spanberger signed a bill increasing the average electric bill by $10-13 per month.

Ignore the press releases claiming it's about affordability. Look at your paycheck. Look at your electric bill. Every two weeks, you're taking home less. Every month, you're paying more. That's the reality Virginia families are facing, and it’s not right.

[Chris Martz @ChrisMartzWX]

On today's date in 1901, over half of the U.S. was at or above 90°F and nearly 9% of the land area was at least 100°F. The same weather occurring this week occurred exactly 125 years ago, but according to most climate alarmists, it was just weather in 1901, but this week's three-day event is undeniable proof that we are facing a climate catastrophe.
