“And what about our sins? Slavery was the original sin, and I won’t sand it down. The founders knew it. Jefferson knew it, and he owned slaves — the hypocrisy was staring right at them, and they kept kicking the can down the road. But here is what a poisoned telling of our history leaves out: the New England colonies began rejecting slavery before England itself did. And when the reckoning finally came, hundreds of thousands of men died on battlefields to make other men free. “As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,” read the original lyrics of the Battle Hymn of the Republic. That’s propitiation. One man suffers so others go free. A nation that will bleed that much to right its own wrong is not an evil nation. It is a great one, straining toward becoming a more perfect one. We had a black president. We had a black vice president. Our Secretary of State is the son of Cuban refugees. Anyone telling you the story that nothing here ever gets better is selling you something.”

What an appalling speech the Mayor of New York delivered for the 250th anniversary of the nation.
Sadly, it reflects the view of America propagated for years by Howard Zinn and his like-minded colleagues in the universities and believed by armies of the young: a dark, oppressive country where common people are denigrated by tyrants and oligarchs, where immigrants are treated with contempt, where those with “soft hands” hold the wealth created by those with dirty hands.
No sensible person would claim that our country is without flaws, but the relentlessly negative picture painted by Mayor Mamdani is just absurd.
And it is the fruit of the Marxism that, sadly, is all the rage today.
If You're a Patriot…
This Song Will Break You
🇺🇸 THE ONES WHO STOOD
⚠️ WARNING: You WILL get emotional.
If you've ever loved someone who wore the uniform…
If you've ever stood at a grave in Arlington…
If you've ever held a folded flag and whispered "thank you"…
This song is for YOU.
🎖️ THE ONES WHO STOOD — A country tribute to every American
soldier who fought, bled, and gave everything so this nation
could stand for 250 years.
Before the fireworks — there was sacrifice.
Before the anthems — there were boots on frozen ground.
Before the celebrations — there were coffins draped in
red, white, and blue.
This song is for the ones who never came home.
For the mothers who held a folded flag.
For the veterans carrying scars they'll never show.
And for the men and women standing guard RIGHT NOW
So we can celebrate this Fourth of July...

Did you know that a Texas Junior High School offers a Quran but REFUSES to offer a Bible to students?
@RepBrandonGill and a 16yo student EXPOSED this in a House hearing: "Is it true that your school's libraries offer Islamic literature, like the Quran and other things?"
Marco Hunter-Lopez: "Yes, so McMillan Junior High in Wylie ISD offers a Quran but no Bible available."
The anti-Christian, pro-communist islamist agenda in our school system needs to be completely removed with NO EXCEPTIONS
What we’ve learned from the radical left is:
Ten Commandments in schools, BAD.
Islamic pamphlets, GOOD.
Ten Commandments, BAD.
Free Qurans, GOOD.
Ten Commandments, BAD.
Sharia brochures, GOOD.
A free Bible display is controversial, but free Qurans and Shariah literature are treated like ‘cultural enrichment.’
The hypocrisy is STAGGERING.
Here’s how our schools should actually operate:
Math, yes.
Science, yes.
History, yes.
Reading, yes.
Religious indoctrination and foreign legal systems that conflict with American constitutional values?
Absolutely NOT.
Sharia law has no place in the United States of America, and it certainly has no place being promoted inside American schools.
On this Kentucky Derby day, here’s your reminder that Secretariat was faster than any horse who has ever lived. The year is 1973 and this is his track record run. Untouched for 53 years. The GOAT.
Meet the hidden heroes, The Grey Nuns. During the Irish famine in 1847 thousands of starving Irish immigrants washed up on Montreal's docks dying of typhus. The doctors fled, the priests hesitated and a mob tried to throw the sick into the river. Yet forty Catholic nuns walked in instead. They carried dying children in their arms, they nursed strangers and thirty of them caught the disease. Seven of them died, but they saved thousands yet nobody remembers them.
GRAPHIC: No one is better in congressional hearings these days from the Member side than @RepBrandonGill.
Here he was asking a pro-abortion witness which form of abortion(s) they most prefer
Reading the manifesto of Cole Tomas Allen shows the ultimate expression of a society where rage has replaced morality and decency. At its core, it is a denial of transcendent values and rights...https://t.co/qwMgr6vXJQ

ALL major artificial intelligence systems — SuperGrok, ChatGPT, and Google Gemini — independently concluded that VACCINES CAUSE AUTISM after analyzing our landmark 82-page study.
The 30-year lie that “vaccines don’t cause autism” has officially been TERMINATED.
Among Catholic priests who were ordained in the late 1960s:
68% describe their theology as progressive.
16% said it was conservative.
Among priests ordained in the last few years:
2% describe their theology as progressive.
84% said it was conservative.
As the Church rests in silence on Holy Saturday, we are reminded to wait with patience and hope, trusting in the promise of the Resurrection.

Magnificent reflection by Pope Leo XIV in Monaco today, on the Jewish leaders plot to kill Jesus: “Rather than recognizing the Nazarene as the Messiah — the long-awaited Christ — the religious leaders saw him as a threat. As teachers of the Law, their vision was so distorted that they violated the precepts of the Law themselves. Forgetting God’s promise to his people, they sought to kill the innocent, and behind their fear lay a desire to keep hold of power. Although they had forgotten the Law, which commands, “Thou shalt not kill,” God did not forget the promise that would prepare the world for salvation. His providence turned that murderous verdict into the means of revealing an act of supreme love: however wicked Caiaphas may have been, he “prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation””
