I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Tonight, as I stood at the Lincoln Memorial, I looked across the Reflecting Pool and saw something I don’t think I’ll ever forget.
The Washington Monument wasn’t just illuminated.
To me, it looked like America’s birthday candle.
Just 528 days ago, on January 20, 2025, I stood outside Capital One Arena in the freezing cold with one hope—to tell the President how much I loved this country. When I shouted, “We love you, Mr. President!”, both the President and the First Lady acknowledged me. It was a moment measured in seconds, but one that changed my life forever.
Now, on July 1, 2026, I’m back in Washington as our nation celebrates its 250th birthday.
I never imagined that the journey from that cold January day would lead to three responses from the White House. Those letters mean more to me than paper and ink. They remind me that sincerity, perseverance, and love for your country can leave a lasting mark in ways you never expect.
Standing here tonight, looking at what feels like America’s giant birthday candle reflecting across the water, I found myself fighting back tears.
Not because my story is over—but because I’m grateful to have lived even a small part of America’s story.
Happy 250th Birthday to the greatest nation on Earth.
May that flame continue to burn brightly for generations yet to come.
God bless America. 🇺🇸

WATCH:
Massive crowd belts the National Anthem, with every single Team USA player standing beside an American child.
Kids aren’t burdens, they’re the future.
BREAKING: Rep. Byron Donalds just went NUCLEAR on the US Senate failing to pass the Save America Act:
"The Senate SUCKS, I just want to come out and say that."
"If Bernie Sanders wants to hold the floor for six months, go ahead, let him. Swap out the depends, get some body armor, whatever you need, keep it going, because it demonstrates the stupidity of your argument, and that is what the American people want to see."
Now they're going on vacation until July 13th. Entirely unacceptable.
My name is Ella, I'm 17 years old.
I do long jump. I play volleyball. I go to school in New Richmond, Wisconsin.
When my school allowed a biological male into the girls' restroom without telling parents —
I went to the school board.
With my name attached.
In my own town.
I got bullied for it. Harassed online. Even some of my own teachers came after me.
I'm still here.
Because here's what I know:
The net in women's volleyball is set nearly a foot lower for a reason.
A biological male can hit a ball across that net at force that could seriously injure a girl.
And in track — all it takes is three biological males entering the girls' category
and not a single girl in this state stands on a podium.
I didn't speak up because it was easy.
I spoke up because somebody had to.
The Supreme Court is about to answer the question every girl in America is asking.
We're ready.

Now that we know the political significance of my $8.75 coral maternity dress from Old Navy, can’t wait to hear what the New York Times has to say about my elastic-waistband pants and compression socks! In the meantime, enjoy my pregnancy fashion (or lack thereof) and a good story with your kids on Storytime with the Second Lady.

My daughter was the only one who got covid in 2020. End of 2020. I refused to take her to the hospital because of the way my own mother was treated and because I did not like the protocols.
Instead I called the American Front Line Doctors. I had been doing research on Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine. Heard amazing reviews coming out of Africa.
I then found out that pharmacies were being threatened and told to pull Ivermectin from the shelves. Doctors were getting their licenses revoked for prescribing it.
I was able to get a script through the front line doctors and what used to be 4 dollars for a prescription, ended up being over 200 dollars.
The price increased because everybody wanted what the government was forcing pharmacies to pull. Only mom and pop pharmacies still had it.
We were lucky.
This is what fauci, the cdc, and the who did.
They should all be sitting their asses in GITMO.
