American first, Constitutionalist, worried for my grandchildren's future

They Killed Cursive So You’d Need a Translator to Read Your Own History

Two generations now. That’s what we’ve manufactured.

You Can Thank Progressive Ideologue Randi Weingarten and the American Federation of Teachers

In 2010, cursive was quietly stripped from Common Core. No debate. No vote. Just gone — replaced by keyboarding and test prep. Fast forward to today, and the results are exactly what any thinking person would have predicted.

Drew Gilpin Faust — former Harvard president, not exactly a conspiracy theorist — walked into her Civil War seminar and discovered two-thirds of her Harvard undergraduates couldn’t read cursive. Two-thirds. At Harvard. One student admitted he’d reshaped his entire senior thesis to avoid sources with handwriting. Another abandoned Virginia Woolf because she couldn’t read Woolf’s letters.

Let that sink in. The elite are being graduated illiterate in their own language’s written form.

What’s actually been accomplished here?

- The Declaration of Independence is now a foreign document to most Americans under 30. They can’t read it. They depend on someone else’s transcription — someone else’s framing.

- Grandma’s letters from the war. Mom has to translate the birthday card. The direct, unmediated connection to your own bloodline? Severed.

- Original manuscripts, land deeds, family Bibles, journals, contracts. All of it now requires a credentialed interpreter — a new priesthood of specialists who tell you what your history says.

Faust herself spelled out the implication with brutal clarity: “Just imagine if you had some contract that you had signed and you couldn’t read it and someone told you, well, this is what’s in the contract. And then later you might find that it was something else.”

That’s not a bug. That’s the feature.

When a population can’t independently access primary sources, history becomes whatever the gatekeepers decide it is. The past isn’t discovered — it’s assigned. And a person who needs permission to read their own inheritance is a person who’s been quietly, thoroughly disempowered.

The technocrats will tell you it was just pragmatic modernization. Nothing to see here. Just optimizing the curriculum for the 21st-century economy.

Funny how the “optimizations” always seem to produce citizens more dependent, more disconnected, and easier to manage.

Teach your kids cursive. Buy the workbook. Spend twenty minutes a day. Not because it’s charming or vintage — but because a people who can’t read their own founding documents in the original hand are no longer a free people. They’re tenants in their own civilization, renting access to a past that was stolen from them one curriculum meeting at a time.

Jasmine Crockett is not going to like this, but I had to do it.

She is screaming at the top of her lungs about being oppressed and claiming that the white man brought her over on a slave ship.

I have already been warned by her supporters not to mock her, but before anyone asks, “How dare you mock a Black woman?”—I am a comedian, and I am allowed to mock whoever I want, just like SNL and countless other comedians mock people of every color.

US Army Nurse Amelia Harper served during the Vietnam War at the 85th Evac Hospital in Phu Bai.

She joined the Army Nurse Corps after graduating from college and deployed in 1967. Harper led triage teams through evacuations, mortar fire, and monsoons, earning the nickname "Steady Harper." In one siege, she organized a life-saving blood drive.

Returning home in 1969, she advocated for veterans and founded a nurses' support group.

God bless our Vets!

Former DEVGRU (SEAL Team 6) Gold Squadron operator Michael “Mikey” Owings spent decades surviving the world’s most dangerous places, only to be nearly killed a half mile from his own front door.

On February 4, 2026, in Lake Wales, Florida, Owings was waiting to turn onto his own street when two vehicles collided just ahead of him and slammed into his car and the one behind it. The wreck on Route 60 involved multiple cars and 11 people. Four died at the scene. Owings was airlifted in critical condition and has since undergone multiple surgeries while continuing his long road to recovery.

The bitter irony has not been lost on those who know him. Fellow SEAL Michael Gray captured it plainly: "Mikey faced unimaginable dangers to keep the rest of us safe, yet he survived the battlefield only to be nearly broken by a local traffic accident on American soil. A man who absorbed risk for strangers half a world away was taken down not by an enemy, but by two cars he never saw coming, just feet from home."

Friends and family launched a GoFundMe to help with his mounting medical bills and his family’s expenses during his recovery. As of July 23, 2026, over $160,000 has been donated.

Keep fighting, Mikey 🔱

He has given his life for his forever love.

Officer Fred Marsh of the Rogers Police Department in Arkansas, finally had gotten up the courage to ask his 3-year girlfriend Hailey to marry him. She said yes and they left to go canoeing on the Elk River in Missouri with friends. Hailey entered the river and immediately began struggling against the strong current. So Marsh and a fellow Rogers police officer jumped in and pulled her to safety. In a cruel twist, Marsh was swept away by the current and never resurfaced. On Monday a motorcade carrying Marsh's body made it way through town with members of the community lining the streets to pay their final respects.

Rest in peace Officer Marsh, you did a great thing.

Richard is an ex-Royal Marine veteran. He fought for his country in the Falklands, was wounded in battle, suffered a devastating PTSD-induced breakdown, lost his partner, lost his home, and ended up sleeping rough. When he needed his country, there was no safety net.

Meanwhile, “Stacksa Pula”, fleeing “war-torn” Botswana that’s never had a war, steps off a dinghy and straight into taxpayer-funded hotel accommodation with free everything.

The contrast is obscene.

🚨 REPORTER: Your interventions risk making Europe worse

ELON MUSK: How?

REPORTER: You support people who are proto-authoritarians...very clear fascist tendencies

ELON: I think you're just completely MAKING THINGS UP. What you're saying is TOTAL FICTION. I am merely saying Europe needs to have SECURE BORDERS. It should not let in vast numbers of people with views antithetical to the accepted views in Europe. This is common sense.

🔥🔥🔥

He's on a roll!

🚨 JUST IN: The US Secret Service just caught a LEAKER in Vice President JD Vance's security detail — who may now face a CRIMINAL investigation

GOOD!

The agent suspected of leaking is now placed on leave and an internal investigation will ensue, per NYP

The leaker apparently was the source of a liberal media story that Vance's security detail is "fed up" with his travel

SECRET SERVICE: “A member of the Vice Presidential Protective Division is the subject of an administrative investigation, and potential criminal inquiry, involving allegations of compromising operational and information security."

NO TOLERANCE FOR ANY LEAKERS!

I'm posting this for awareness, nothing more.
My Grand-daughter decided to try and end her life on Monday.
She is turning 16 on the 29th.
We had a week of plans.
We have seen her twice in the past 3 months, and she gave us so much love.
She got it in return.
I just found out this afternoon.
I got a text from her custodial parent.
All it said was she wanted Papa to call her.
My heart sank, my soul was crushed. It took me a few minutes to muster up the courage to call an speak. I had so many questions, so much anger....
In that 5 minutes, I heard a little girl begging to be heard. Not like I'm talking, but I'm hurting.....
I did everything I could do to be strong and not break down.
I broke down....
I sobbed, hard.
I told her I how much she mattered.
One little girl held me deep in her heart.
In the background I heard the nurse.... You have 5 minutes.
I am currently trying to get an ROI and she has agreed.
The State Of Oregon is fighting me.
She is 3 hours away and I will drop everything, but Oregon Department of Human Services is fighting me, as they have assumed custody.
I am at a loss......
Keep the government out of your life as much as possible.
They will destroy you.

Trump-endorsed Michigan Senate Candidate Mike Rogers is DESTROYING Muslim Socialist Abdul El-Sayed in New Polls.

Rogers’ could FLIP the Michigan Senate seats red after over three decades of failed leadership.

People who want to destroy America have NO PLACE in our society never mind in public office.

🚨The Democrats did EVERYTHING they could to stop MLB World Series Champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers, from joining President Trump at the White House.

The Left attacked them & threatened boycotts. The Left failed.

Their cancel culture power is dead.

Jihadi Mamdani should’ve never been allowed to become an American citizen.

He should be denaturalized and sent back to Uganda.

If you’re an apologist for Hamas terrorists, you’re part of the problem.

This lad playing bagpipes over the Muslim call to prayer is exactly how you preserve your culture.

Stand unapologetically for your own heritage.
Never allow Islam to erase generations of your history and identity.
