There is no contradiction between July 4th and Juneteenth. All Americans should take pride in both.
July 4th celebrates the founding promise of equality and liberty for all.
Juneteenth celebrates the enforcement of our founding promise.
Both are chapters in the ever-unfolding American Revolution.
Some on the far left react viscerally against any acknowledgment of America’s historical virtues.
Some on the far right react viscerally against any acknowledgment of America’s historical vices.
For a liberal patriot, a history of America in all its triumphs and tragedies is far more inspiring than either hagiography or demonology.
Watching communists win Democratic primaries is a reminder of what Reagan said:
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. It has to be fought for and defended by each generation.”
We must never give these Marxists an inch.
Our freedom depends on it.
X is the least transparent.
X pretends to open source everything, but STILL runs “TweepCred.”
X has the most bots and bigots.
X is the most confusing with payouts.
But I should put my money into “X money?”
No thanks.
Run the app to reach as many people with your message as possible, but be clear…
X is NOT much better than it was before Elon bought it.
'A huge part of the answer surely lies in increasing political polarization, which is negatively restructuring all parts of people's lives by restricting "the range of people with whom they are willing to have relationships, the brands they purchase, and the jobs they take." One of the great historic promises of America was that it was a place you could escape politics and partisanship, but these days not so much.' https://t.co/CR1FprA8ci
Anyone… And I mean ANYONE….
Who tells you your vehicle is a “safe place?”
Doesn’t know what the FUCK they’re talking about AT ALL.
Cars are plexi glass coffins.
So what does this say about a system with only two parties when the MAGA cult runs one and a Socialist fringe is on the rise in the other? The moderate plurality are unaligned because they’re not seeing candidates that represent them in either party.
For those of us who served, we knew the guys who were fucking gung-ho idiots who had no business wearing the uniform.
Major Jason Watson is an actual patriot, though.
Cite the UCMJ all you fuckers want, but he's advocating legal process, not violence.
He's better than you.
He wore the uniform.
He knew the law.
He knew the prison time.
He stepped onto the Capitol steps and said: IMPEACH Trump.
They arrested him. Not because he was wrong—because he was loud.
Courage isn't safe. It's standing up when silence is cheaper.
History won't forget...
5 things every American should be able to agree on:
❌ No Digital ID.
❌ No more wars.
❌ No vehicle kill switch.
❌ No government-backed stablecoins.
❌ No Flock cameras in our neighborhoods.
Americans, please don't take your hard-won and world-envied traditions and rights for granted! 🇺🇸 I hope the view of a former outsider on the "shining city on a hill", the greatest nation ever conceived, is welcome. My latest Next Move:
I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize.
No President in History has ended the same war so many times.
Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.
No President has ever done this before.
And he is nowhere near finished ending it.
It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
No. This IS NOT the precedent.
This is called “brandishing” and outside of him being an irresponsible firearm owner…
It could get him some charges.
HUGE shout to the young men who exhibited AMAZING conflict resolution skills.
We have a few online classes for anyone who’d like to learn how to move smart AND the basics of firearms ownership.
I’ll link them both below, anyone with questions feel free to send them my way.

I proposed in 2016 that the GOP was a lost cause and the US would be much better off if MAGA broke off into the know-nothings and the Democratic far left fringe did the same. Instead, extremists are running the GOP and the DSA is trying to do the same to the Democrats.
We just needed 12 more to vote No to stop this trojan-horse bill, because it takes 2/3 to pass under a suspension of the rules.
Too many were afraid to vote against the “KIDS Act” title, or didn’t know what the bill will really do, or just want government to have total control.
I’m all for child safety. I’m also all for parenting, supervising, and protecting kids – to include the two minors of my own. This bill – HR 7757 - under the guise of “kids’ safety,” is just more government creating a vehicle for mass surveillance – ultimately leading to a digital surveillance state that leads to suppression of privacy, free speech, and punitive action against dissenting views - all under the guise of child safety. This is the first phase. Pretty soon, everything you do will be tracked – and judged – by the government. All I hear about right now are complaints and concerns on this issue; my constituents are all for safety and protection; what they don’t support are large scale ID databases, Central Bank Digital Currency, data centers, warrantless surveillance, camera surveillance, kill switches in cars, etc. There’s too much government in our lives and too many breaches into our privacy.
BTW – check out the “UK Online Safety Act,” passed a year ago this month in Great Britain, aimed at “keeping children from accessing adult content.” Well, surprise: the UK’s now using it for “age verification requirements” for adults (who must upload their ID / do a facial scan) to use any social media. Worse yet, now the UK is cracking down on any dissenting views; in this case, IT apparently doesn’t like citizens’ criticism about Islamic migration overwhelming the country. Yes, they imprison people for political dissent there…
Our government ultimately will be able to attack dissenters and quash dissent. Goodbye, First Amendment.
I was a “NO” vote on this last night.
