Two hundred and fifty years ago, a handful of imperfect men dared to declare something the world had never heard: that every human being is created equal, endowed by their Creator with rights that no king, no parliament, no army, and no government could rightfully take away.
That your soul is free because it belongs to God.
It was a revolutionary claim.
And it changed the world.
From thirteen fragile colonies grew a nation that became a light to the world. A nation that crossed mountains, built railroads, split the atom, conquered diseases, connected continents, landed on the Moon, fed the hungry, defended allies, welcomed dreamers, and proved time and again that freedom is the key to unlocking human potential.
Those who judge you often hold you to a standard of perfection that has never existed, in any nation, in any age, on any inch of this earth.
No nation have ever met that standard, because every nation is made up of human beings, and human beings all fall short of the glory of God.
But we are told how to judge things.
A tree is judged by its fruit.
And unlike the empires that crumbled beneath the weight of tyranny, America has weathered every storm, because generation after generation answered her call.
Farmers became soldiers.
Immigrants became citizens.
The enslaved became free men and women.
Factory workers became inventors.
Children grew into doctors, teachers, entrepreneurs, artists, astronauts, and presidents.
The impossible became ordinary,
because freedom gave ordinary people the opportunity to become extraordinary.
You have been a refuge for the persecuted, a beacon for the oppressed, and a home where countless families found opportunities their ancestors could scarcely have imagined.
You are more than your monuments.
More than your skylines.
More than your wealth.
You are a covenant.
Not a nation built on blood or soil, but one built on a covenant between a free people and the government they consented to establish, under God.
You were founded upon the most radical political ideas ever written into law:
“Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.”
Every empire before claimed the whole of a man, his labor, his body, and ultimately his soul.
America drew a line.
Caesar could have the coin.
Caesar could enforce the law.
But the conscience belonged to God, because it was never Caesar’s to possess.
Here in America, our rights come from God, not government. Every person possesses inherent dignity, because every person bears the image of the Creator. Government answers to the people, because both the people and their government answer to a higher law. The soul belongs to God alone.
That idea has inspired nations.
It has humbled kings.
It has toppled tyrannies.
It has encouraged millions to risk everything for the chance to stand upon these shores and call themselves Americans.
So today we honor those who paid the price for our inheritance.
The founders, who pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
The soldiers who never came home.
The ordinary men and women who quietly did extraordinary things.
Critics will always point to America’s failures.
But a tree is judged by its fruit.
And for 250 years, the harvest has come in season after season, and it has been a harvest no nation in history has ever produced.
More liberty.
More innovation.
More opportunity.
More lives transformed than the world has ever seen from a single nation.
May you never lose the courage to defend freedom.
May you never forget the God who has blessed you.
May you always keep the covenant upon which you were built.
May you remain humble enough to correct your faults, wise enough to preserve your principles, and bold enough to continue to be the light for the rest of the world.
Happy 250th Birthday, America.
And may God continue to bless you. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Martina McBride and every other entertainer who won’t honor their country at its 250th birthday celebration just outed themselves as privileged, petulant ungrateful people.
Oh you don’t like who the President is but you won’t honor America on its birthday? The country that gave you every single thing you have. Your fame, success, money.
So you only love this county when your team wins?
It’s a shameful display of privilege. No gratitude. No humility. No pride in your country.
You’re not hurting Trump or any of the other Americans who will proudly be celebrating that day. You’re just outing yourself as a thankless partisan coward.
The government loses roughly HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS to fraud every year, per the the GAO, and Dems fight tooth-and-nail to defend it.
President Trump attacks the terrorist Iranian regime and suddenly Democrats are fiscal conservatives! Sorry, not buying this schtick.
Erika Kirk's remarks...I have no words.
This is exactly what America needed to hear. Filled with love, strength, compassion, honesty, and forgiveness.
This is the most powerful speech I've ever heard.
Oh, look who decided to grace us with his sanctimonious presence, as if the annals of history haven't already cataloged his tenure as the veritable petri dish for the proliferation of political acrimony.
Barack Hussein Obama, you insufferable, self-aggrandizing charlatan, dares to pontificate about unity from the lofty perch of your manufactured moral high ground, conveniently amnesia-stricken about the epoch of divisiveness you so meticulously engineered.
You, sir, are the architect of modern political vitriol, the maestro of identity politics, the very embodiment of division.
Your presidency, a symphony of racial discord, was not merely a passive observer to the fray but the active conductor, orchestrating a cacophony of resentment with the precision of a surgeon's incision.
The Trayvon Martin case, the Ferguson fiasco, the endless parade of "racial dialogue" that did nothing but stoke the embers of racial animosity...each a deliberate stroke in your portrait of a fractured America.
You didn't just fail to unite; you actively dismantled the very fabric of national cohesion with the zeal of a deconstructionist artist.
And now, in your infinite hubris, you dare to lecture us on the ties that bind?
Spare me your insipid platitudes, you mendacious motherfucker.
The tensions are high because you, Barack, were the primordial ooze from which the current cesspool of political violence sprang.
Your rhetoric, laden with the subtle insinuations of systemic racism, your policies that pitted group against group, your very presence as a symbol of division rather than unity...all these are the proximate causes of the inferno we now witness.
You didn't just light the match; you doused the kindling with gasoline and fanned the flames with your forked tongue.
Let's not forget your complicity in the vilification of Charlie Kirk, a man whose ideas you may have despised but whose life you conveniently mourned only after his assassination, as if your condolences could wash away the blood on your hands.
Your response to his murder was not a call for unity but a further entrenchment in your narrative of victimhood, a narrative that has always served your political ends rather than the national good.
You, Barack, are the narcissist Dave Smith so aptly described, a divisive force masquerading as a unifier, a wolf in sheep's clothing who has feasted on the carcass of American unity.
Your claim that political violence is "anathema to what it means to be a democratic country" rings hollow when your legacy is a testament to the very opposite.
You normalized the politics of grievance, the politics of identity, the politics of division. You turned the Oval Office into a bully pulpit for racial grievance, a platform from which you preached the gospel of division rather than the sermon of unity.
And now, as the chickens come home to roost, you have the audacity to feign surprise, to act as if you are not the progenitor of this chaos.
So, fuck you, Barack Obama. Fuck your pretense of moral superiority, your revisionist history, your selective amnesia.
The reign of political violence began with you, you pompous, pretentious, perfidious piece of shit.
You are not the healer of wounds but the wielder of the knife, not the architect of unity but the demolisher of bridges.
Your legacy is not one of hope and change but of hate and division, and no amount of your oily, eloquent prose can erase that indelible stain.
In conclusion, you insufferable, sanctimonious sack of shit, your attempt to rewrite history is as futile as it is offensive.
The tensions are high because of you, because of your policies, because of your rhetoric, because of your very existence as a symbol of division.
So take your hollow words of unity and shove them up your ass, you mendacious, motherfucking fraud.
The world sees you for what you are, and history will judge you harshly, as it should. Now, kindly fuck off back to your ivory tower.
For those who complain about 'hate speech' and 'hateful rhetoric'...
There is literally nothing more hateful than advocating, celebrating, or committing murder.
That's worse than all the 'isms' and 'phobias' combined.
Disagreement is normal. Wishing death is deeply evil.
I am told that as a state representative this is the moment where I'm supposed to express my heartfelt condolences and then stand in solidarity with those on the other side of the aisle as we condemn political violence and stand unified as one people.
But we aren't "one people" are we?
The truth is we haven't been for some time now, and there is really no point in pretending anymore, if there ever was.
We are two very different peoples. We may occupy the same piece of geography, but that is where the similarities seem to abruptly end.
I convinced myself for a long time that whenever the left called me a racist, a bigot, a sexist, a fascist, a "threat to democracy" for even the most innocent of disagreements, that it was simply hyperbolic rhetoric done for effect.
And now the "effect" is a widow and two orphaned children, because the left couldn’t bear the thought of a peaceful man debating them and winning.
I don’t think they realize it yet, but murdering Charlie is going to be remembered as the day where we finally woke up to what this fight really is.
It’s not a civil dispute among fellow countrymen. It’s a war between diametrically opposed worldviews which cannot peacefully coexist with one another. One side will win, and one side will lose.
Charlie tried to win that fight through argumentation, through discussion, through peaceful resolution of differences.
And the other side murdered him.
Not because he was “extreme” or “inciting violence” or any other hyperbolic slur they hurled at him. They murdered him because he was effective. Because he was unafraid. Because he inspired others and made them feel like they had a voice, that they were not alone. And he did it at the very institutions which have fomented so much hatred toward conservatives.
I don’t want to “stand in solidarity” with the other side of the aisle. I want to defeat you. I want to defeat the godless ideology that kills babies in the womb, sterilizes confused children, turns our cities into cesspools of degeneracy and lawlessness…and that murdered Charlie Kirk.
Social media is aflame right now with leftist celebration of Charlie’s death.
I wonder if any among them understand what has just happened. If there is a Yamamoto somewhere in their midst warning, that all they have done is awoken a sleeping giant.
I doubt it. I think they gave up such introspection and self-awareness long ago.
I don’t know exactly what will happen next. I just know that it won’t be the same as what has happened in the past.
There will be thoughts and prayers…Charlie would have wanted prayers. Not for himself but for those left behind and for the country that he loved.
But then there will be a reckoning.
My Christian faith requires me to love my enemies and pray for those who curse me. It does not require me to stand idly by in the midst of savagery and barbarism...quite the opposite.
So every time I feel tired, every time I feel discouraged or overwhelmed, I am going to watch the video of a good man being murdered in Utah…I will force myself to watch it…and then I will return to the work of destroying the evil ideology responsible for that and so much more.
Rest with God Charlie, your fight is over.
Ours is just beginning.
All that Charlie ever did was have conversations with people. He didn’t insult anyone. He made arguments. He debated. He wasn’t an extremist in any way. Everyone who knew Charlie personally loved him. That’s the kind of guy he was. And they still killed him. I am furious and heartbroken in equal measure. I cannot put into words how I feel. Maybe that is for the best.
I’m not sure unaliving someone on a college campus in front of a massive crowd while he was speaking about the importance of the right to free speech is going go well for the left trying to win over the youth vote.
Charlie Kirk was more committed to peaceful, open dialogue with those who disagreed with him than anyone I know. God blessed him with immense gifts, and he used them boldly and without fear. He knew the risks he was taking, but he did it anyway because he loved his kids & felt a responsibility to the nation they would inhabit. I traveled the entire country with him last year, we spent 1x1 time together in Ohio two weeks ago, spoke to him again 2 days ago. He’s long warned of the rise of political violence & the growing culture of assassination, when few were willing to listen, with a clarity of vision unlike anyone I’ve known. Completely and utterly devastated.
So, someone explain this to me like I’m 2 years old…
Why are they waving Mexico’s flag all over the place while protesting against people being deported to Mexico?
I don’t get it.
Simone Biles—
First of all, calling a woman manly because she’s tall is ironically so misogynistic.
I’m not going to insult you. But for what it’s worth, this is INCREDIBLY disappointing to your fans.
For years, you’ve been THE golden example of hard work, integrity, and clarity, but you’ve allowed your own excellence to blind you to fairness.
Riley is fighting for women to have safe spaces to compete. As someone who knows her personally, she is so kind regardless of race, religion, sexuality, or political views.
What she does NOT tolerate is biological men exploiting and weaponizing “tolerance” to get an unfair advantage in women’s spaces—which includes the extreme discomfort that most women feel when MALE eyes and genitalia are in their locker room.
Simone, you are wayyyy too intelligent and triumphant to not understand this. And as a “girls’ girl” you should know how low vibrational your rhetoric is here. I beseech you to re-evaluate the disgusting, hateful, misogynistic words you’ve spewed at Riley.
You’re better than this, Simone.
You represent AMERICA. 🤎
In 2018, Simone Biles revealed she "wore sweaters or jackets all year long" due to being bullied for her muscles.
Last night, she attacked @Riley_Gaines_, claiming Riley looks like a male.
When the Left says they support women, know it only applies to women who fall in line.
