“Fellow Citizens, I am not wanting in respect for the fathers of this republic. The signers of the Declaration of Independence were brave men. They were great men too — great enough to give fame to a great age. It does not often happen to a nation to raise, at one time, such a number of truly great men. The point from which I am compelled to view them is not, certainly, the most favorable; and yet I cannot contemplate their great deeds with less than admiration. They were statesmen, patriots and heroes, and for the good they did, and the principles they contended for, I will unite with you to honor their memory.

“They loved their country better than their own private interests; and, though this is not the highest form of human excellence, all will concede that it is a rare virtue, and that when it is exhibited, it ought to command respect. He who will, intelligently, lay down his life for his country, is a man whom it is not in human nature to despise. Your fathers staked their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor, on the cause of their country. In their admiration of liberty, they lost sight of all other interests.

“They were peace men; but they preferred revolution to peaceful submission to bondage. They were quiet men; but they did not shrink from agitating against oppression. They showed forbearance; but that they knew its limits. They believed in order; but not in the order of tyranny. With them, nothing was “settled” that was not right. With them, justice, liberty and humanity were “final;” not slavery and oppression. You may well cherish the memory of such men. They were great in their day and generation. Their solid manhood stands out the more as we contrast it with these degenerate times.

“How circumspect, exact and proportionate were all their movements! How unlike the politicians of an hour! Their statesmanship looked beyond the passing moment, and stretched away in strength into the distant future. They seized upon eternal principles, and set a glorious example in their defense. Mark them!

“Fully appreciating the hardship to be encountered, firmly believing in the right of their cause, honorably inviting the scrutiny of an on-looking world, reverently appealing to heaven to attest their sincerity, soundly comprehending the solemn responsibility they were about to assume, wisely measuring the terrible odds against them, your fathers, the fathers of this republic, did, most deliberately, under the inspiration of a glorious patriotism, and with a sublime faith in the great principles of justice and freedom, lay deep the corner-stone of the national superstructure, which has risen and still rises in grandeur around you.

“Of this fundamental work, this day is the anniversary. Our eyes are met with demonstrations of joyous enthusiasm. Banners and pennants wave exultingly on the breeze. The din of business, too, is hushed. Even Mammon seems to have quitted his grasp on this day. The ear-piercing fife and the stirring drum unite their accents with the ascending peal of a thousand church bells. Prayers are made, hymns are sung, and sermons are preached in honor of this day; while the quick martial tramp of a great and multitudinous nation, echoed back by all the hills, valleys and mountains of a vast continent, bespeak the occasion one of thrilling and universal interest — a nation’s jubilee.”

Thank President Trump for raising Pastor Jin’s case with Xi Jinping!

[Overton @overton_news]

Victor Davis Hanson says he knows he’ll get in trouble for saying it, but many of the Democrats’ most radical voices are first or second-generation immigrants from FAILED nations.

Ilhan Omar, AOC, Mamdani, Chevalier.

Hanson argues they learned early that trashing America gets them protected and advanced by the left.

HANSON: “One of the things that's not being talked about and I know I'll get criticized for this but here it is...”

“If you look at the candidates, Chevalier, and AOC, and Rashida Tlaib, and Mamdani, and I could go on...”

“But the kingpins, they’re first or second generation...immigrants. And they come from areas that, to be candid and a little blunt, are failed miserable places, such as Ghana or the Caribbean, or many Latin American countries, or Mexico.”

“Almost 50-60% of them are.”

“So they come to this country either with their parents or their parents came and they were born. And they sense, they put their feelers up...and they learn very early on that if you trash this country, the left will protect you and advance you.”

“And no matter how much money you have — AOC’s parents were pretty affluent. Ilhan Omar claims she was worth $30 million. Mamdani’s a multimillionaire settler colonialist from Uganda.”

“And when you look at all of them, they have nothing but contempt.”

“Then don’t come! There’s no reason you have to come. You came here because it was prosperous and safe, and there was not inbred tribal racism as in all these countries.”

“Apparently, the people came with Ilhan Omar because they were on the side of the genocidal [Mohamed] Siad Barre.”

“They keep saying genocide, genocide! The only person that really is a genocidal maniac was Siad Barre, the head of the Somali government, of which a lot of these immigrants’ parents were part of, including Ilhan Omar.”

Exactly almost everyone’s opinion!!

Disappointed but not surprised by birthright citizenship decision. This is another issue that GOP Congress should tackle. But won't...

[Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_]

GOP Senators Katie Britt (R-AL) and Rick Scott (R-FL) both out with immediate calls for Congress to take action to end birthright citizenship.

Expect that momentum to grow within Republicans.

[Mr. Pool @MrPoolQ1]

Eric Trump just flipped the script on Chris Cuomo live on-air, leaving him shocked.

Cuomo accused President Trump of going after his political opponents the moment he took office…

Eric sounded off:

“Did we, did we try and bankrupt Biden? Did we raid Biden's home? Did we try and bankrupt Biden?”

“Did we weaponize every AG and DA against Biden? Do we do that against Hunter Biden who had a laptop from hell, pictures of cocaine, illicit drug use, prostitution?”

“Did we make up a dirty dossier? About Biden, did they try and destroy Biden's marriage? Did we make up stories that Biden had secret servers in the basement of his home communicating with the Kremlin in Russia?”

“Did we strip Biden off the ballot of multiple states? Did we take Biden off of Twitter and Instagram and Facebook and try and silence his voice so he couldn't communicate?”

“Did we put Biden in a courtroom every single day for nonsense to try and keep him off of a campaign trail to try and destroy his life?”

Well done @MrPoolQ1

[Jonathan Turley @Real_Turley]

Thune is again using pro-forma sessions to make pretend the Senate is still in session, to block Trumps recess appts

Join me in calling on Trump to use the power vested in him, under (Art- II- Sec,3) to call the Senate back into session... until they Pass the Save America Act

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 NOW: Sen. Eric Schmitt asks DHS to RAPIDLY carry out President Trump’s temporary status (TPS) terminations for hundreds of thousands of migrants, so they can start LEAVING at breakneck pace

The Supreme Court gave the green light! 🔥

“TPS became another mass-migration loophole. The Supreme Court has now lifted the blockade. It's time to act.

I am calling on DHS to move move fast, finalize the President's TPS terminations, and deport those who no longer have legal status.

Temporary means temporary.”

George Soros has spent $103 million SO FAR on midterm elections- why isn’t @BernieSanders yelling about him? Does Bernie only hate pro-US billionaires?

[Brit Hume @brithume]

@Grok confirms the truth of nearly all of the claims below.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

I don't know what broke in the matrix, but watching John Bolton not only plead guilty to a felony but the specific felony he spent decades depicting as the most egregious -- calling for life imprisonment or execution for it -- is a level of karmic justice I didn't know existed.

[Howard Lutnick @howardlutnick]

Europe just passed their historic legislation on the US-EU trade deal. Europe has reduced their tariffs to ZERO for the first time ever. This is a historic accomplishment for our great automakers, fishers, ranchers and so many producers who will finally have a level playing field when trading with Europe.

TONIGHT: U.S. strikes targeted Iranian missile and drone storage facilities, along with coastal radar systems, in response to Iranian drone attacks toward commercial shipping vessels.

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

Since our movement is trending right now, let me introduce myself:

My name is Scott Presler.

I’m an Eagle Scout & son of a retired Navy Captain.

I moved to Pennsylvania in 2024 & launched an organization for the sole purpose of helping to re-elect President Trump.

I’ve spent the last decade of my life registering tens of thousands of voters, electing Republicans to all levels of office, & helping to build up Republican structures from the county & state levels.

I’ve traveled to over 40 states to grow the Republican Party.

For the last 6 months, I’ve met with members of Congress to pass the SAVE America Act — which would require photo voter ID & proof of citizenship to vote.

What I’m advocating for has overwhelming support from the American people.

Yet I was not allowed entry to a dinner last night in Rapid City, South Dakota, because Senate Majority Leader Thune was present.

When they go after me, they are really coming for you.

I will not be bullied, pressured, intimidated & I won’t stop pushing for the country-saving SAVE America Act.

Thank you for having my back — peacefully.

[Mark R. Levin @marklevinshow]

Yep

[BJBSailing @SailingBjb]

True it’s bad but we must acknowledge these radicals are showing up to vote. GOP needs better candidates/messaging to get our voters enthused. We shouldn’t underestimate this

[Liz Peek @lizpeek]

Congratulations Democrats- you’re ushering in a crop of bigoted antisemites who hate America. Bravo

🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk indicates he's SUING Rep. Ro Khanna (D) after Khanna said Elon needs to answer for '4.5 million kids dying' because of DOGE cuts

ELON: "Time to sue this liar."

"The reality is that money was being sent to corrupt politicians under the guise of aid! Liars and stock insider traders like Ro the Robber should be in prison!!"

"The standard applied by DOGE was very simple and easy: Provide contact information for the recipients of aid, so that we can confirm it is not fraudulent."

Wow! @ElonMusk is going MAXIMUM FAFO MODE!

[The SCIF @TheSCIF]

$200 million in U.S. taxpayer dollars was allegedly funneled back from Ukraine via USAID to fund Biden's re-election and to line Democrat politician's pockets.

This is why "aid" was being sent to Ukraine every other day. It was being laundered straight back to their own pockets. Sam Bankman-Fried played the same game, siphoning taxpayer funds, and bankrolling the DNC to rig elections.

Investigations target China and Ukraine for laundering aid money and producing fake IDs and ballots to help steal U.S. elections. It's the same game being played over and over again and the only ones that lose are the American taxpaying citizens.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

I don’t understand who is going to invest in a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran. The U.S. is not doing so, and why would the Qataris or any other country in the Middle East that was just attacked by Iran invest one penny to support Iran’s reconstruction?

Most of the damage inflicted on Iran was directed to military targets. Why would anyone want to help Iran rebuild its military capabilities?

Even if the funds were limited to humanitarian-related infrastructure, if there is such a thing, money is fungible, and we know the first freed up dollar will go to rebuild Iran’s ballistic and nuclear capabilities.

What am I missing?
