🚨 WOW! President Trump dropped this gem from Marco Rubio CALLING the rise of communism years ago

MARCO NAILS IT: "At the core of democratic socialism is Marxism, and at the core of Marxism is this fake offer that if you turn over more of your individual freedom, we're going to provide you security. We're going to provide you free healthcare. We're going to provide you free education."

"But the problem is that when they can't deliver on it or when you're not happy with it, you don't get your freedoms back. And by freedoms, I don't just mean elections."

"I'm talking about the right to choose your own doctor, the right to make healthcare decisions for yourself, what your kids learn in school, what schools they go to, all that stuff you lose control over."

"And you don't get it back just because the security they promised you didn't happen."

"So that's what we're on the verge of having to decide here in this country. It's a reason why people flee countries that have this stuff!"

"It's a big deal for America, and I hope people start waking up to that reality." 🇺🇸

Rubio knew.

Today I am in Washington DC for the celebration tonight at the US Capitol televised on PBS and tomorrow on CBS for America 250. I have the privilege of narrating content for both events. 
At the moment, I am sitting in my hotel room looking out the window watching our amazing fighter pilots rehearsing their flyover for tomorrow’s 4th of July celebration. I have been on military bases all over the world and seen these jets many times before but experiencing them practicing in the skies over our nation's capital in preparation for our 250th birthday is something quite unique, and special. 

We live in a great country. It’s been wonderful to see how folks from around the world who have traveled here for the World Cup are enjoying so many of the things that we are so used to here. We have so much to be thankful for, not the least of which are the men and women who defend our country and protect our cities. Those whose service and sacrifice must not be taken for granted. Where would we all be if no one wanted to serve? 

Over the course of our 250-year history, many sacrifices have been made. Thousands and thousands of our fellow Americans are buried in 26 military cemeteries in foreign lands with many more here at home. Each day at the Gary Sinise Foundation we work diligently to serve and honor these sacrifices by supporting those on active duty, those who have served, and the families that serve with them and have sacrificed alongside them. 

I have met many over the years and they inspire me each day with their triumphant spirits. America is an evolving idea created by those who chose to fight for independence and freedom against a tyranny. We have inherited that idea, and while there certainly have been many extremely challenging moments in our history, there have been many triumphant ones to celebrate.

In this new video of a song called Triumphant, written by my son Mac Sinise and his pal Oliver Schnee, we include a few triumphant shining moments in celebration of America’s 250th Birthday.

🇺🇸 30 Heroes in 30 Days — Molly Pitcher: The Fearless Heroine Who Took the Cannon at Monmouth
Countdown to July 4! 🇺🇸

One of my favorite stories of history! Mary Ludwig Hays, known to history as Molly Pitcher, is one of the most enduring symbols of courage and resolve from the American Revolution, someone who stepped from the sidelines into the heat of battle when her country needed her most.
Born in 1754 near Trenton, New Jersey, Mary married William Hays, a barber who enlisted as an artilleryman in the Continental Army. Like many devoted wives, she followed her husband through the hardships of war, including the brutal winter at Valley Forge.

She quickly became indispensable to the troops by carrying pitchers of cool water to exhausted and thirsty soldiers and artillery crews — earning the nickname the men shouted across the lines: “Molly! Pitcher!”

Her moment of legend came on June 28, 1778, at the Battle of Monmouth, one of the largest and fiercest battles of the war, fought under a brutal sun that pushed temperatures near 100 degrees. All day long, Mary ferried water from a nearby spring to the front lines, helping keep the men and the cannons in the fight.

When her husband William collapsed from heat exhaustion and was carried from the field, Mary did not hesitate. She immediately took his place at the cannon. Grabbing the ramrod, she swabbed, loaded, and fired with skill and determination for the rest of the long, savage engagement.

Eyewitnesses described her extraordinary bravery. One account tells of a British cannonball that passed directly between her legs, tearing away the bottom of her petticoat. Unfazed, she reportedly quipped, “Well, that could have been worse,” and kept right on fighting.

After the battle, General George Washington himself noticed the brave woman serving with the artillery. Tradition holds that he commended her service and issued her a warrant as a non-commissioned officer, forever honoring her as “Sergeant Molly.”

Mary survived the war, later received a pension from Pennsylvania in recognition of her service, and lived until 1832. She is buried in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, where a monument and cannon now mark her grave.

Molly Pitcher’s story reminds us that the American Revolution was won not only by generals and soldiers, but by ordinary Americans who refused to stand aside when liberty was on the line. She embodied the same spirit that built this nation: courage when it counted most, and the willingness to do whatever the moment demanded.

Sergeant Molly’s legacy endures as a powerful reminder of the duty, grit, and love of country that built America. 🇺🇸

One vote stood between America and independence. The man who had to cast it was 80 miles away, battling cancer, as a violent thunderstorm raged. His name was Caesar Rodney.

A lesser-known founder of the American Revolution, Rodney rode overnight on horseback from Delaware to Philadelphia, arriving just in time to cast the deciding vote for independence and sign the Declaration of Independence. 🇺🇲

[Rep. Burgess Owens @RepBurgessOwens]

Today, I am grateful for men like Caesar Rodney.

250 years ago today, Rodney mounted his horse and rode through the night, sick with cancer, exhausted, and caught in a thunderstorm so he could reach Philadelphia in time to cast Delaware's deciding vote for independence. He arrived and cast his vote, soaking wet and still in his boots and spurs.

Our American heritage is built on the example of ordinary men and women like Caesar, who believed in the cause of independence and the promise of America.

They gave their all, no matter the hardships, to secure the blessings of liberty and open the door to a better future for those who would follow. We owe them all a debt of gratitude, and today, I'll be thinking of Caesar Rodney's revolutionary ride as we continue to celebrate our great nation.

“There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism... Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance.” - Theodore Roosevelt

[US Oil & Gas Association @US_OGA]

250 years ago today, on July 2, 1776, the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia voted to adopt Richard Henry Lee’s resolution declaring the thirteen American colonies “free and independent States” and dissolving all political ties with Great Britain.

The result was frickin' awesome.

NEW: DHS is accusing MN Gov. Tim Walz of trying to shield a Laotian illegal alien pedophile from being deported after Walz pardoned him for a 2006 conviction in which he repeatedly raped a 10-year-old girl in MN. DHS says Tou Lue Vang was issued a deportation order immediately after that conviction and was set to be imminently deported, but the pardon has now removed his deportable offenses and given him a clean record, which may thwart his removal and give him an avenue to fight deportation.

WARNING GRAPHIC DETAILS BELOW:

According to Vang's conviction documents from the state of Minnesota, in 2004, he repeatedly had penetrative sex with the 10-year-old girl on multiple occasions and forced oral sex upon her in which he ejaculated into her mouth. He told police "I made a mistake, but this is a minor thing...it's a cultural thing to marry and have sex with girls as young as 12." He also said the child should be arrested and she was also at fault.

Vang ultimately took a plea deal to plead guilty to the offense of first degree criminal sexual conduct. NYT reports he served no prison time as part of the deal.

Vang was pardoned for the offense last month by the Minnesota Board of Pardons, which is made up of the MN Governor, MN Attorney General, and Chief Justice of the MN Supreme Court. All pardons must be approved by the MN Governor.

DHS is now blasting the decision:

“Governor Tim Walz's decision to pardon an illegal alien convicted child rapist so he can remain in our country is disgusting,” said Acting DHS Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “These are the criminal illegal aliens he and his Minnesota sanctuary politicians are protecting. Tou Lue Vang lost his legal status following his conviction for repeatedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl. Following the conviction, he was placed in removal proceedings and issued a final order of removal by a judge. This pardon will take away this child rapist’s qualifying convictions that made him removable from the United States.”

Thomas Paine publishes an open letter in the Pennsylvania Evening Post, under the name “Republicus,” which advocates for the name “United States of America” for the new nation now emerging.

This is the first time such a term has been used.
