A college economics professor stated that he had once failed an entire class. That class insisted that socialism is functional and that no one should be poor and no one rich, that everyone is equal...

The teacher told them, "OK, we will do an experiment on socialism in this group.

All grades will be averaged, and everyone will get the same grade, so no one will fail and no one will get a 10."

After the first test, the grades were added up and divided by the number of students, and everyone got an 8.

The students who studied intensively were upset, but those who studied less were overjoyed.

As the second test approached, the students who had studied a little learned even less, and those who had studied more intensively told themselves that they also wanted a "handout", so they also studied less.

The average of the second test was 6.

When the third test was given, the average score was 4. To the great surprise of all the students, they all failed.

The teacher told them that socialism will eventually fail because when half the population sees that they cannot work, because the other half will take care of them, and when the half that worked realizes that there is no point in working anymore, because others are the beneficiaries of their labor, then that is the end of any nation
The story may be a fable not a fact but the moral is real
Get it?

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.

I had no idea..

"This man was born in 1809.
In 1816, at age 7, he was forced to work because his family was expelled.
In 1818, he lost his mother.
In 1828, he lost his sister.
In 1831, he opened his first business and went bankrupt.
In 1832, he stood in the legislative elections and lost.
In 1833, he borrowed money to open another business and went bankrupt again.
In 1835, he met a wonderful woman. He falls in love with her, they get engaged, and she dies.
In 1836, he entered a dark period of his life: deep depression.
He remains bedridden for 6 consecutive months. But he gets up.
He gets up and in that same year of 1836 he runs in the legislative elections and loses again.
In 1840 he presented himself as an elector; he loses.
In 1842, he met the woman he would end his life with.
They fall in love, get engaged, get married and she gives him 4 children and they lose 3 (three).
In 1843, he appeared at the congresses and lost.
In 1845, he appeared again at the congresses and lost again.
In 1850, his son died.
In 1854, he ran for the Senate and lost.
In 1856, he ran for Vice President, he didn't even have 100 votes.
In '58, he ran again for the Senate and lost again.

And in 1860 ABRAHAM LINCOLN was elected President of the United States of America 🇺🇸.
He was elected for two exceptional terms (he was assassinated in beginning of the second term.) He was one of the most respected and impactful Presidents in the history of the United States 🇺🇸.

It's important to tell this story of perseverance because we see the hero, but we don't see the backstage of the afflictions. "

Wow. ...
I think this is a great example of Never Never Never Give Up! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

The funeral of Sadako Sasaki in October 1955...

On 6 August 1945, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. Sadako Sasaki was two-years-old and living in the city. She had no apparent injuries and grew into a strong and healthy girl.

In 1954, when she was in sixth grade, she suddenly developed signs of illness. One day during a school race that she helped her team win, she felt extremely tired and dizzy. It grew worse until she fell and could not get up. In February 1955 she was diagnosed with leukemia and admitted to the Hiroshima Red Cross Hospital. She was eleven-years-old.

At the time, leukemia was called the A-bomb disease. Almost everyone who contracted it died. Sadako was terrified. She wanted to go back to school. A roommate at the hospital told her about the Japanese belief that anyone who folds 1,000 paper cranes would be granted a wish. Sadako began folding, hoping to recover. The cranes hung above her bed on strings.

There is disagreement about how many she completed before she died. Some accounts record 1,300 cranes. Others say she managed 644 before she became too weak to continue, and her classmates folded the rest. What is not disputed is that she folded until she could not. Sadako Sasaki died on 25 October 1955, after an eight-month struggle. She was twelve-years-old.

Her classmates decided to form a unity club in her honour, which grew as students from 3,100 schools across Japan and nine foreign countries raised money for a monument. On 5 May 1958, the Children's Peace Monument was unveiled in Hiroshima Peace Park, close to where the bomb had fallen.

Children from across the world continue to send folded paper cranes to be placed at the statue's base. One of Sadako's own cranes was donated to the Japanese American National Museum in 2016 by her family. The inscription on the monument reads: This is our cry. This is our prayer. Peace in the world.

“The US went to war in Iran because Iran made itself a Chinese weapon,” policy analyst Zineb Riboua told me during our interview.

According to her, the current war against Iran is “all about China.” In fact, she believes the U.S. is waging an indirect war with China right now.

Riboua is the founder of the China in MENA Project which tracks Chinese influence and expansion across the Middle East and Africa.

Is there a bigger dimension to this war that many are missing?

“We have this tendency to just look at the countries involved… but there's a big player, and the big player here is China… China has been investing immensely in the region in the last two decades, in courting, in coordinating, in cooperating with Gulf countries, with Iran itself, and also with its proxies.”

And why, I ask her, has China been so keen on gaining strategic influence over the Middle East?

It’s because the CCP understands, she said, that “China cannot rise without having the United States weakened in one of the most important regions in the world... Iran has been that tool.”

從伊朗被炸，談中國「百年國恥」的可笑。

這幾天伊朗遭到美國、以色列的聯合轟炸，該國政府最高階的軍政首腦集體被斬首，許多伊朗百姓為之歡欣鼓舞，感謝美國來解救他們，並不覺有什麼「國恥」。
從1840年鴉片戰爭開始，滿清政府不斷受到過去列強的「修理」，中共把那些滿清人戰敗、賠款、割地���簽訂不平等條��等等，稱之為「百年國恥」。中共高呼「民族偉大復興」，其潛台詞就是要「洗刷國恥」，重新恢復滿清強盛時期的霸權地位。
中共這種「百年國恥」的宣傳，其背後邏輯可說荒唐無恥、亂七八糟。
首先，中國這塊土地上的主要民族是漢族，目前佔中國人口的91%，而滿清政府是從關外進來欺壓和殖民漢族的。滿清帝國受到外來打擊，其實是漢人的「解放」，和今天伊朗一樣，革命衛隊遭到打擊，伊朗百姓極其歡迎，並無什麼「國恥」可言。
滿清入關以後，於1645年由滿清攝政王多爾袞發布嚴厲的剃髮令，規定漢人和滿人一樣，需要把頭髮兩邊剃光，中間留個豬尾巴一樣的辮子，並且宣布「留髮不留頭」。漢人自古以來，認為「身體髮膚受之父母，不可損傷」，所以激烈抗拒，清軍則以屠城方式鎮壓。我們熟知的「揚州十日」屠城，約有80萬人被殺，「嘉定三屠」則有20萬人遇害，此外尚有「江陰八十一日」，約17萬人被屠，廣州大屠殺，死亡者估計也有70萬。此外在各地的屠城事件不勝枚舉。
經過這些大屠殺之後，漢人基本上就臣服於滿人，後來甚至把滿清帝國視為自己的國家。例如曾國藩、曾國荃兄弟就組織了「湘軍」幫滿清對抗「太平天國」，並於1864年7月攻破太平天國的首都天京（今南京），隨即展開了極其慘烈的屠殺與掠奪；估計遇害人數在 20 萬至 50萬人之間。
曾國藩為滿清立下大功，被封為「一等侯」，但他見到滿清親王，按照清律，仍然需要「跪拜稱臣」。可見漢人在滿清一代，基本上是低於滿人的次等民族。
漢人對滿人的高壓統治，原就不滿，清朝後期更因吏治腐敗、 捐稅沉重，使百姓對政府缺乏忠誠度。所謂列強「侵華」時期，許多漢人為列強提供翻譯、嚮導、食物補給、協助運輸物資、搬運軍火和構築工事等等。
1842 年英軍進攻鎮江，這是鴉片戰爭中最慘烈的戰鬥之一。根據英軍軍官的筆記記載，當英軍與守城的旗兵拼殺時，附近的山頭和屋頂上擠滿了漢人百姓，每當清軍的陣地被英軍砲火擊毀，或者清兵潰逃時，圍觀的百姓都會發���歡呼聲。在他們眼裡，平日橫行霸道、勒索百姓的清兵被洋人教訓，是一件大快人心的事。甚至1900年義和團運動期間，英國在威海衛招募漢人組成「華勇營（Weihaiwei Regiment）」，這支部隊由英國軍官訓練，在進攻天津、北京的戰鬥中表現極其勇猛。
滿清是在中國的殘酷殖民者，一直閉關鎖國，對內愚民壓迫，對外傲慢無禮，所以遭到列強的「修理」，並沒有值得同情的地方。中共把滿清帝國受到外來文明的「衝擊」視為「國恥」，就是以滿清帝國的「繼承人」自居；從漢人的角度來看，根本就是「認賊作父」。
為了掩飾這種「認賊作父」的無恥行徑，中共以「中華民族」這個名詞來模糊漢、滿之分，並以之欺騙其他少數民族而對其進行「同化」，實質就是文化滅絕。
同時中共也以「中國」這個名詞來混淆「滿清帝國」、「中華民國」、「中華人民共和國」的分別，讓人以為這三國是一脈相傳的同一個國家。而實質我們都知道，在中國（應該稱之為三河流域）這個區域，從來都沒有什麼「一脈相承」，一直都是後國以武力推翻前國，實現「槍桿子出政權」。從「滿清帝國」到「中華民國」到「中華人民共和國」，中間都經歷了「千萬人頭落地」的血腥殘暴。
中共每天高聲叫囂什麼「台灣自古就是中國領土」，其潛台詞就是：「台灣曾經是滿清帝國的殖民地，而我們是滿清帝國的繼承人，所以台灣是我們的」。
今天中共喜歡罵一些不肯歸順他們的台灣人「數典忘祖」，這個最可笑。中共自己「認滿清作父」，以滿清為「祖國」，還要漢人把「中華人民共和國」當成祖國，簡直就是侮辱所有漢人的智���；然而硬是有無數的漢人白痴上當，真的把「滿清帝國」和「中共國」當成了「祖國」。
鄭麗文說要把台灣人變成「中國」人，這種讓人駭怪的想法，顯示的就不只是白痴上當，而根本就是「中邪」；無怪乎什麼「抖繩子」的邪門事情會發生在她身上。

Schools and hospitals turned into military shields. This is what the Islamic Republic does and some of you still defend it.
Where do you think Hamas learned the human shield playbook?
And no, I wouldn’t put it past them to blow something up, kill civilians, and blame the U.S. or Israel. And you're all going to believe their propaganda. A regime that killed thousands on Jan 8 & 9 and has spent 47 years crushing Iranians has already shown how little human life means to it.
