Dr. Joseph Warren died on this day in 1775, and he might be the most important Founding Father you were never taught about.
He was born in Roxbury, went to Harvard, and by his early thirties he was the most sought after doctor in Boston. He inoculated the Adams family against smallpox. He took on apprentices. He treated patients on both sides of the growing fight, redcoats included, because he was a doctor first. He was 34 and a widower raising four small children alone after his wife died in 1773.
He was also the quiet engine of the entire revolution in Massachusetts. He wrote the Suffolk Resolves. He ran the Committee of Safety. He stood up twice to give the Boston Massacre orations, and the second time, with British officers packing the room to intimidate him, the story goes that he climbed in through a window rather than be turned away, then delivered the speech to their faces.
On the night of April 18, 1775, it was Warren who learned the British army was about to march. He sent Paul Revere out one way and William Dawes the other to raise the alarm toward Lexington and Concord. There is no midnight ride without Joseph Warren. People have argued for two centuries about where he got his intelligence, and one long running rumor is that his secret source was close to General Gage himself.
The next morning he didn't sit safe behind a desk. He rode out to the fighting at Lexington and Concord and got into the thick of it. A British musket ball came so close it knocked a pin out of the hair beside his ear.
Three days before Bunker Hill, the Provincial Congress made him a major general. When he walked onto the hill on June 17, the officers there offered to hand him command of the whole field. He refused. He said he had come to fight as a volunteer, not to give orders, and he took a musket and went into the redoubt with the ordinary men, in the most dangerous spot on the line.
The Americans held off two British charges. On the third, low on powder, they were overrun. Warren stayed to cover the retreat and was shot in the head. The British knew exactly who they had killed. They stripped him, ran him through with bayonets, and threw him into a shallow pit with another body. A British officer later bragged that he had stuffed the scoundrel into the ground. General Gage is said to have remarked that Warren's death was worth that of 500 ordinary men.
Ten months later, after the British finally gave up Boston and sailed away, his friends went looking for him. The body was beyond recognition. The only reason they ever found him is that Paul Revere, a silversmith by trade, had once wired a false tooth into Warren's jaw with silver wire. Revere dug through the grave, saw his own work in the teeth, and knew. It is remembered as one of the first forensic dental identifications in American history.
His orphaned children were nearly forgotten too, until people like Benedict Arnold, years before he became a traitor, chipped in money to make sure they were raised and educated.
The most famous painting of the battle, by John Trumbull, isn't really about the battle at all. It's about the death of one man in the smoke.
The doctor who could have commanded an army chose to die in the dirt as a private soldier. He was 34 years old. 251 years ago today. Remember him 🇺🇸
RFK Jr. just brought the house down at the Kennedy Center.
The entire building erupted in chants of “USA!” after he shared an unforgettable conversation he once had with Charlie Kirk about death.
“I had a conversation once with Charlie where we were talking about the danger that we both faced from challenging entrenched interests. And he asked me if I was scared to die. And I said to him, ‘There’s a lot worse things than dying.’”
Kennedy continued: “And one of the chief among us is losing our constitutional rights and having our children raised in slavery.
“I said to him at that time, ‘Sometimes our only consolation is that we can die with our boots on. We can die fighting for these things.’
“Charlie gave his life so that the rest of us would not have to suffer those fates worse than death. Now it’s our job. He’s no longer there to lead us. Rush in and fill the breach and win this battle for our country, for God, and for our families. Thank you.”
The crowd’s response was electric. Listen to how loud those chants of “USA!” became.
This was the finest and most consequential political speech of my lifetime. It was what Americans needed to hear. JD Vance earned my vote. Thank you JD.
Justice for Charlie is coming.
I thought about clipping this but honestly? It's the most consequential speech of our time and you all need to watch it in full.
The Supreme Court has unfortunately today sided with the Secretary of State of Michigan and Wisconsin, both Democrats, to undermine election integrity and leave my name on the ballot in both those states. It is a purely political move in the hope that folks who would have otherwise voted for Trump will throw away their vote by voting for me instead. Don’t let them undermine this election. Don’t be fooled. I am off the ballot in every other state I have sought to get off of other than Michigan and Wisconsin. So, if you are in Michigan or Wisconsin, please make sure to vote for Donald Trump — DO NOT VOTE FOR ME. Together we will Make America Healthy Again!
And here it is,
U.S. Border Chief Aaron Heitke who served under 5 different Administrations:
CONFIRMS BEYOND THE SHADOW OF A DOUBT,
Since January 20, 2021, the United States government is being run by a terrorist organization.
Was ordered by the Biden/Harris terrorist administration to coverup, conceal and manipulate data on the border crisis.
“We have no idea who or what is coming through our country.”
— “Special Interests Aliens” (SIAs) and “KNOWN and SUSPECTED TERRORISTS”,
“At the time I was told I could not release any information on this increase in SIAs or mention any of the arrests.
The administration was trying to convince the public there was no threat at the border”
— FENTANYL
“San Diego area sees between 80 and 90% of the methamphetamine and fentanyl seizures annually for our entire country.
With little enforcement at the border these drugs were coming through in mass.
During my last year in San Diego the price for a single pill of fentanyl for example went from 10 dollars to 25 cents.”
— FUNDING
“To make matters worse during 2022 and 2023 I had to shut down San Diego traffic checkpoints. Which are critical from drug interdiction. Because the resources had been diverted to PROCESS RELEASE MISSION.”
— THE COVERUP
“I had to release illegal aliens each day into communities who could not support them. To QUITE the problem two flights a week were provided from San Diego to Texas. Each flight cost approximately $150,000. This was the administration’s way to try to quiet the border crisis.”
“Through pressure through the Administration my headquarters became more interested in fiction being portrayed in the media and not at all concerned with reality.
We had 2000 or more illegal aliens sitting between the fences asking to turn themselves in. I WAS TOLD TO MOVE THEM OUT OF SIGHT OF MEDIA.”
Imagine Joe Biden was winning a clear +300 electoral college vote victory on election night 2020.
All swing states were tight, but breaking for Biden. Data trending wrong way for Trump.
Then, suddenly the counting STOPS.
Magically, untraceable Trump votes “appear” overnight in ALL 5 swing counties where they are desperately needed to turn the tide for Trump.
Over the next few days every state Biden was winning on election night flipped to Trump by the thinnest of margins and as SOON as it did the media declared it WON by Trump.
Anyone who questioned this process was immediately BANNED from social media and — eventually, targeted by our own government for prosecution.
Immediately, the Trump administration began centrally organizing the criminal prosecution of Joe Biden and his family in dark red districts across America using taxpayer dollars and authorizing federal raids on Joe Biden’s home.
Do you think Libs would be content with this result?
This is why so many in America are waking up right now.
We know.
We all know…
