God Bless America

America is a special place because it is home to exceptional people.

The 2/5 infantry battalion (2d Battalion, 5th Regiment) — the most highly decorated battalion in the U.S. Marine Corps — has a motto: Retreat, Hell! Its members embrace this credo in honor of Major Lloyd W. Williams, who, as company commander of the 51st at the Battle of Belleau Wood during World War I, refused to withdraw at the urging of a French colonel and countered, “Retreat, hell! We just got here!” Williams later led an assault that routed the Germans at the cost of most of his men, but their bravery became legend for generations of warriors who followed.

America has always been blessed with an oversized helping of heroes. Open up a detailed atlas of the United States, and you will be amazed at the tens of thousands of streets, hilltops, lookouts, and bodies of water named after American heroes who sacrificed themselves so that others might live and prosper. You can walk into any small town in the country and learn about the heroics of some stranger whose accomplishments and daring were as deserving of national recognition as those with well-known names.

It is easy to get hypnotized into a state of unnerving fatigue when “woke,” anti-American propagandists try daily to rewrite history, but this is a land of giants. In your blood and in your spirit stirs the untamable defiance of American greatness.

That’s why none of the new-world-order crap that keeps raining down over our heads ever completely dispirits me. Mass immigration, out-of-control crime, central bank chicanery, the World Economic Forum’s dystopian, technocratic oligarchy — let those Marxist globalist bastards do their worst, and let’s see whose vision for America ultimately prevails. To no-one’s surprise, the tyrants are acting tyrannically.
