Something is happening to me this Independence Day. It’s just hitting different.

I’m guilty. I’ve taken what this country has provided me for granted. I’ve been lulled into this false belief that this 1-in-a-million experiment will endure forever no matter what. That’s simply not true.

“A Republic, if you can keep it.”

Those words from Benjamin Franklin have been ringing in my ears all week.

The default of the human experience has not been individual liberty and faith in the promises of the living God. Our ancestors blazed that trail. Now, we must accept that no one is coming to save us.

We are the ones you’ve been waiting for. Our children and grandchildren will inherit the future we create for them TODAY.

No blackpilling. We are the United States of Dadgum America. We’ve faced worse odds and came out ahead. Why should this time be any different?

No more apathy. The next 250 years of the American experiment is on our shoulders. Let’s make it even better than the last.

GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Remember who you are, American. 🇺🇸

The Spanish call of the USA free kick is ELECTRIC

[Josh Howerton @howertonjosh]

With some people (and pastors) objecting, I want to explain really quick why this week's LIVE FREE episode (and social media) is unashamedly about the United States.

I love my King of Kings more infinitely than any earthly ruler.
And there is an Eternal Kingdom that has infinitely more allegiance from me than any earthly country.

But...

In the Bible, God established 3 institutions for the good of the world:

– The Family
– The church
– The State (governments)

This means that a Christian man should seek to be...

- A family man
- A churchman
- A statesman

This week, we'll celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, and part of being a "statesman" is loving your country.

- A family never gets better unless the father LOVES his family.
- A church never gets better unless people LOVE their church
- A nation cannot get better unless people LOVE their nation

So, I do unapologetically love my country, thank God for the historically unique way Christianity played a role in the founding of our nation, and I'll have a BLAST this week unapologetically and enthusiastically celebrating it and working for its future good... not IN SPITE of the fact that I'm a Christian, but BECAUSE I'm a Christian, who is grateful to God for what He has done in the past and imploring Him to pour out his Spirit in our culture for the good of its future... and then I'm going to walk in this weekend and preach verse by verse through Exodus 3 and make Jesus real famous.

"But seek the welfare of the [nation] where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare."
– Jeremiah 29:7

[Jason Howerton @jason_howerton]

This is your reminder that all of your tantrums about Trump’s tweets are meaningless & Dems fully intend to rule over you ruthlessly.

If they win in Nov, they will pack the Supreme Court, open border, and pursue mass amnesty and turn USA into a one-party system. Stakes are high.

🚨 BREAKING: Sec. Marco Rubio just dropped TRUTH NUKES on the doubters for two minutes straight, and he said it perfectly

He's so good at this.

"Under NO circumstances can a country run by radical Shia clerics with an apocalyptic vision of the future ever possess nuclear weapons, and under no circumstances can they be allowed to hide and protect that program and their ambitions behind a shield of missiles and drones that no one can do anything about!"

"Many Americans are asking, why did the United States have to attack Iran now? Well, let me EXPLAIN."

"Iran wants to have nuclear weapons...they build their reactors and their facilities deep in mountains, away from the public glare, and they want to enrich that material."

"Why the attack now? Well, what was Iran trying to do? Iran was trying to build a conventional shield, in essence, have so many missiles, have so many drones, that no one could attack them, and they were well on their way."

"We were on the verge of an Iran that had so many missiles and so many drones, that no one could do anything about their nuclear weapons program in the future. That was an intolerable risk."

"This was our LAST best chance to eliminate that conventional threat, that conventional shield that they were trying to build, and the president made the right decision to wipe it out now."

"That is the goal of this operation, to destroy their conventional missiles and their drone program so they can't hide behind it, and finally have to deal with a world seriously about never ever having nuclear weapons."

WELL SAID, MARCO 🇺🇸

[Arthur MacWaters @ArthurMacwaters]

this is shocking:

> US collects $2.4T in income tax, but spends $1.5T on fraud

> if we didn't have to pay for fraud, only $900b would need to be collected

> this means anyone with less 500k in income could pay *literally $0* in income tax

we don't need to raise taxes. we need to cut fraud

[Nick shirley @nickshirleyy]

🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable

We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.

'You have no idea the fire you have ignited.' - Erika Kirk

[Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11]

Today we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is a real event of history.

He is RISEN!

Skeptical? Here are 10 irrefutable historical facts that show the resurrection of Christ is real:

1) Jesus of Nazareth was crucified under Pontius Pilate.

This is one of the most agreed upon facts of ancient history. Pagan historians like Tacitus, Jewish chroniclers like Josephus, and early Christian sources all converge: Jesus was publicly executed by Roman authority.

No credible historian—Christian or atheist—denies it. The cross was not a theological metaphor; it was a state-sanctioned death penalty, delivered with maximum shame and finality.

2) He was buried in a known, accessible tomb.

The Gospels name Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy member of the Jewish council, as the man who buried Jesus. If this were a fabrication, using a public figure easily investigated by enemies would be self-defeating.

The early Christian creed in 1 Corinthians 15, dated by scholars like James D.G. Dunn to within 5 years of the crucifixion, affirms the burial. This isn’t myth. It’s memory.

3) The tomb was discovered empty by women.

In ancient Jewish society, a woman’s testimony was considered unreliable in court. If the resurrection story were invented, placing women at the center of the discovery would be absurd.

The only reason to report this detail is because it actually happened.

4) Christianity’s fiercest enemies became its loudest witnesses.

Paul (a Pharisee and persecutor) and James (Jesus’ skeptical brother) both claimed to have seen the risen Christ—and their lives were permanently, painfully reoriented.

Paul lost his power and prestige. James abandoned his former doubt and was stoned to death for proclaiming his brother as Lord. What changed them? Not a metaphor. A real encounter with the risen Christ.

5) The disciples were psychologically and morally transformed.

Before the resurrection, they fled, denied, and hid. Afterward, they stood in synagogues and before emperors declaring Jesus as Lord, knowing it would cost them everything.

They didn���t gain wealth or comfort. They gained whips, prisons, and martyrdom. Men don’t die for what they know is a lie—and they had every opportunity to recant.

6) Over 500 people saw Jesus alive—at once.

This is not folklore. Paul documents it in 1 Corinthians 15, saying “most are still alive,” effectively daring his readers to investigate.
Mass hallucinations do not happen to diverse individuals across multiple locations, including skeptics and enemies, over 40 days.

7) The resurrection was proclaimed immediately—not centuries later.
Unlike legends that slowly evolve, the resurrection was preached within weeks in the very city where Jesus was executed.
The early creed embedded in Paul’s letters wasn’t developed by theologians in ivory towers—it was carried in the mouths of fishermen, tax collectors, and former zealots who had seen something they couldn’t unsee.

8) The message launched from Jerusalem—the least convenient location.

If the tomb still had a body in it, Christianity would have been instantly crushed. The Romans and Jewish leaders had every incentive to expose the hoax.

But they couldn’t. Because there was no body to show. And from the epicenter of that threat, the gospel spread like wildfire.
If Jesus was dead, why not show the corpse and end the Christian movement?

9) No natural explanation fits the data.

Stolen body? Then the disciples died for a con they created.

Hallucination? Group sightings, physical contact, and shared meals contradict that.

Legend? There wasn’t time—eyewitnesses were still alive and correcting error.

Only one explanation covers it all: Jesus physically, bodily, historically rose from the dead.

10) The risen Christ continues to change lives today.

Jesus is the most significant historical figure ever. He defeated death, so you may live

Accept Jesus in your heart today. Jesus changes everything

Thank you @DrFrankTurek for the help

AMERICA IS BACK. 🇺🇸

Every single day I will be fighting for you with every breath in my body. I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe and prosperous America that our children deserve and that you deserve. This will truly be the golden age of America.

Two years ago @elonmusk told us his ‘nutty’ idea to ‘catch the largest and heaviest flying object ever made and pluck it out of the air.’

Looks like it wasn’t so ‘nutty’ after all.

[Jason @Bitcoin4Freedom]

I can't stand Donald Trump. He is braggy, he insults people for no reason, and he is just a brutal personality. But my mind is made up. I'm voting for him and here's why:

* He puts Americans and their well-being first. Kamala will not.

* He will bring @elonmusk into his cabinet to be the efficiency czar and get rid of waste. This alone may be the best single reason to vote for him.

* He will bring @RobertKennedyJr into his cabinet to Make American Healthy Again. He will finally get to the bottom of why our food companies are destroying the health of our children.

* I'm sick of the way the media lies continuously about @realDonaldTrump, starting with the incessant racism claims. They are just nonsense. The latest thing I learned? He sent his plane to fly Nelson Mandela home after he was in jail with the U.S. wouldn't do it. Racist? No.

* I'm sick of the U.S. being embroiled in foreign wars. Trump will keep us out of them again. He's just crazy enough that foreign nations will stand down. They have no fear of Kamala. They will fear him.

* Trump sees this country as fundamentally good. Kamala sees it as inherently evil.

* Trump will end the nonsense of the open border which makes our country less secure, less financially stable, and brings in millions of people illegally who compete for Americans' jobs.

* This government has to print billions to care for the illegals. That makes all of our dollars less valuable and makes prices zoom upward.

* He will stockpile Bitcoin.

* He will keep men out of women's bathrooms and women's sports.

* He is a heavyweight personality and negotiator. Kamala is a phony personality and a lightweight negotiator.

* The people who want Kamala Harris to win are the most annoying people in the country. They have pushed for pronouns, masks, endless vaccines, cancel culture, riots, blatant racism towards whites, gender confusion, undermining the U.S. constitution.

* He will upset the current political system. He was nearly the victim of assassination 3x. And he keeps going. He's not the best in interviews, but he at least puts himself out there. Over and over and over. Kamala hasn't done a single press conference.

* Harris and the media trying to prop her up hid Biden's cognitive decline. They accuse @realDonaldTrump of being a threat to democracy. Yet she was installed as the nominee with no votes. She wants to pack the Supreme Court. She wants to eliminate the filibuster. She sued @RobertKennedyJr to keep him off the ballot. And the threat to democracy is Trump? Nonsense.

* Those who support Harris look at Trump supports as vile, stupid, ignorant, and fascists. They disown family members or disinvite them from Thanksgiving dinner of they support Trump. This is disgraceful.

* Every time she talks, I try to give her a chance. But she is the most phony and condescending politician I have ever seen. Ever. I can't do it. I won't do it.

* She and those who support her are resistant to Voter ID and believe requiring an ID is racist. Her Department of Justice is suing the state of Virginia for trying to purge the voter rolls of illegals. Why would we not want 1 vote per 1 U.S. citizen? Is it more racist to believe people from the inner city are perfectly capable of securing a government issued ID? Or to believe they are incapable?

That's it. I'm done. Thanks for hearing me out.
