Little-known Revolutionary fact: The settlers of the original 13 colonies were among the most literate and well-read people of their time. They owed this to their Puritan heritage, which stressed that one should be able to read and comprehend the Bible for himself. Consequently, the King James Bible was the most imported book from England, followed by Commentaries on the Laws of England by William Blackstone.
The Bible reminded them that they were created by God with certain unalienable rights, and the law book revealed to them the way in which the monarch in England was systematically stripping them of those rights. This was the seed that would eventually grow into the Tree of Liberty.

Thank you, @Nestle, for eliminating synthetic dyes from your products. Nestlé stepped up and delivered. Now it's time for every food company operating in America to do the same and help Make America Healthy Again. 🇺🇸
At nearly 68° North, deep inside the Arctic Circle, Norway's Lofoten Islands experience one of the world's most remarkable climate anomalies.
While places at similar latitudes in Greenland, Alaska, and Siberia endure brutal winters, Lofoten's coastal communities often see winter temperatures hovering around the freezing point and summers that are surprisingly mild and pleasant.
This extraordinary climate is made possible by the warm North Atlantic Current, an extension of the Gulf Stream, which keeps the surrounding seas unusually temperate year-round.
The result is an Arctic archipelago where fishing villages thrive beneath towering peaks, midnight suns shine in summer, and winters remain far gentler than geography alone would suggest.
Texas big cities are turning into mini-Mamdani disasters!
Austin property taxes up 158%, San Antonio 76%, Dallas 102%, El Paso 80%, all while families get crushed.
Same reckless spending before revenue BS you see from socialists like Mamdani in NYC.
Governor Abbott is fighting for real tax relief and guardrails. Keep Texas affordable, stop the blue city tax-and-spend insanity!
Texas First!
As a Marine Corps veteran, I’m sick and tired of people telling me I’m wrong about “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band. I’ve known this for decades.
Here are the straight facts:
These members are professional musicians — top-tier, experienced artists who go through an extremely competitive audition process. They are not regular recruits.
This was established by Congress in 1798.
Once selected, they enlist under a special contract for duty with the U.S. Marine Band only. They are directly appointed to the rank of Staff Sergeant (E-6). And yes — they are exempt from Marine Corps Recruit Training (boot camp). No Parris Island, no Quantico, no San Diego
Unlike every other Marine band, “The President’s Own” has no secondary combat role. They exist solely for their musical mission: performing for the President, White House events, and national ceremonies. They are still active duty Marines subject to the UCMJ and military standards, but their path is unique by design and regulation.
If you’re out here arguing with actual US Marine Corps veterans about this, do yourself a favor and read the official Marine Band career documents instead of running your mouth.

There have been have so many memorable days and proud accomplishments for the President and his team.
The G7 was a huge success and an opportunity to make sure the members and other participates see “America First” in action. Not America Only, America First.
The trip was capped off with a beautiful dinner and birthday celebration for President Trump at Versailles. This was truly spectacular - particularly after his blistering schedule of bilateral and other meetings and working sessions. Nobody works harder.
President Trump signed the MOU with Iranians while he was at dinner. While the next 60 days will present challenges as important details are worked out, signing was a great step forward for America and, indeed, the world.
Enjoy this photo of President Trump signing the document (through the flowers) and the Presidential motorcade, entering the gates front gates of Versailles.
Another successful G7 in the books
🚨💥 BOOM: U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro just laid out what REALLY happened with Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
They sent Powell a letter THREE different times demanding answers about the $1 BILLION cost overruns on the Federal Reserve building renovation…
And he just ignored it.
A BILLION dollars.
As Pirro put it: we’re not talking $1M… not $10M… not even $100M…
We’re talking $1,000,000,000 in overruns.
Then suddenly — out of nowhere — Powell posts a video the other night crying about “political persecution.”
Yeah… that’s not how someone with nothing to hide behaves.
They think they’re above the law.
They’re about to find out.
Do you firmly support Jeanine Pirro on this?
A. Huge Yes
B. No
The Marlboro Man wasn't an actor.
He was Carl Bradley. Wagon boss at the 6666 Ranch. A real cowboy the ad agency found while shooting background footage in 1963.
He earned $120 every time the commercial aired. $1,500 for print ads in Life magazine.
He saved it all. Bought a few horses and cattle. Dreamed of his own place.
Then the government banned cigarette ads on TV in 1971. The income stopped.
Two years later, Bradley drowned breaking a young horse in a stock tank near Guthrie, Texas.
"The Marlboro man died in the water on a nervous colt, doing the work he had done his entire life."
The myth outlived him. The brand he worked for sold cigarettes. The brand on his hip — 6666 — sold cattle.
Two brands. One man. Only one of them told the truth.
.@SECWAR “As President Trump put it, he gave our allies a test—to support America when we asked for their help—and too many failed it.
The United States has defended Europe for GENERATIONS, and all the President said was that our jets need to take off from bases in Europe or our ships from ports to strike targets in the Middle East...
Too many of our allies said no or tried to drown us in arcane legal debates, or criticized us publicly for doing what they aren’t prepared or able to do themselves—IT WAS SHAMEFUL."
Thomas Jefferson was America's first foodie and the White House was his test kitchen.
Five years as minister to France gave him a taste for things most Americans had never seen. When he came home, he brought the recipes with him.
He served ice cream at state dinners when guests had barely heard of it. The first known American recipe for it survives in his own handwriting.
He imported a pasta machine from Italy and put macaroni and cheese on the table at an 1802 state dinner.
He brought back French fried potatoes, cut and fried the Paris way, decades before America caught on.
So next time you’re enjoying mac & cheese, French fries or ice cream...thank Thomas Jefferson
🚨 NOW: The Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool is under INCREASED National Guard and Park Police patrol amid leftist threats to sabotage the pool
American workers are pushing AROUND THE CLOCK to finish the pool by July 4, but liberals have a vested interest in destroying it for some reason
It’s truly a shame how much these people want our country to be embarrassed on a world stage.
Absolute traitors.
