Today, House Majority Leader @SteveScalise took time to speak with #NFIB members regarding #smallbusiness concerns and the legislation that impacts millions of Americans across the country. We enjoyed getting to talk to you about #smallbiz priorities and #NFIB. #NFIBFlyIn2026
@BradThor I need to correct this. I do not have all your books. I apologize for potentially misleading you and others. I have read all of them but do not own all of them. Sorry.
@BradThor#FathersDay came early for me with an autographed book by you, from my wife. I know it is mostly futile that you would recognize my name from earlier brief chats, a man can hope though. I'm looking forward to having this read by Friday. A gr8 add to my collection.
I feel like I’ve screamed my lungs out for the past 6 months telling our so-called *leaders* to “pass the SAVE Act,” but to no avail. They have REFUSED to listen to nearly 90% of the American people.
You may not think the L.A. mayor primary race effects the rest of the country, but if they are willing to cheat so brazenly in such a publicized and scrutinized race, what makes you think they aren’t doing the same thing in other elections?
We are losing our country, people.
When will enough be enough?
@LeaderJohnThune,
PASS THE SAVE ACT, FFS.
250 years ago today, a man stood up in a room full of nervous delegates and said the words that made America inevitable.
Not Thomas Jefferson. Not George Washington. Not Benjamin Franklin.
A Virginia planter named Richard Henry Lee.
It was June 7, 1776. The war had already been going for over a year. Men were dying. Cities were burning. And yet the Continental Congress still had not officially declared independence from Britain.
That morning, Lee rose and read aloud a resolution he had been instructed to deliver by Virginia:
"That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved."
John Adams immediately seconded it.
The room erupted.
The debate that followed was so heated that Congress had to table the vote entirely. New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and South Carolina were not ready. Their delegates had not been authorized to vote for independence. Some feared it was too soon. Some feared it was treason.
So Congress bought time. They postponed the vote for three weeks and quietly appointed a committee to draft a formal declaration, just in case the resolution passed.
That committee included Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, Robert Livingston, and a soft-spoken 33-year-old Virginia lawyer known for his elegant writing.
Thomas Jefferson.
Jefferson wrote the Declaration. It was adopted July 4. The world celebrated.
And Richard Henry Lee, the man whose words started everything, whose resolution is the reason any of this happened?
He had already gone home to Virginia. He missed the signing entirely.
Jefferson is immortalized. Lee is a footnote.
History is funny that way.
@BrianRoemmele@grok Mr @BrianRoemmele i once heard that all of the notes in music can be heard in a waterfall. That has always stuck w me and this research you're doing might tell me and world if truth.
Maybe you might find out.
Remember: 2500 American men got chewed to bits by machine guns, drowned under the weight of their own gear, hung by their parachutes in French trees, and blown to jam by 88mm artillery
so some goblin bitch at the office could call you a Nazi for making the wrong joke
Eighty-two years ago, Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy. Among them were the Bedford Boys — 44 men from a small Virginia town of just 3,200 people. Nineteen were killed within the first nine minutes, without ever firing a shot, giving Bedford the highest per capita D-Day loss in the nation.
They gave up their tomorrows for our today. Never Forget the Bedford Boys and all Americans who gave their lives to liberate the world from tyranny and secure the freedoms we cherish as Americans 🇺🇸
The USMNT 🇺🇸 is about to deploy a 38 year old Tim Ream and Miles Robinson on defense vs Germany.
Germany hasn’t seen a defense this bad since France in World War 2
