To: stars & stripes forever

Truth and Tradition is becoming what anybody says it is. Everybody gets a trophy.
Conditions are in no way our fault. Peace at any price.

The following could never get off the ground today. Not a prayer.


FREEDOM ISN’T FREE

Today we celebrate our Independence which came at a great SACRIFICE to our Founding Fathers.

56 men signed the Declaration of Independence.

Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died.

Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.

Two lost their sons in the Revolutionary Army, another had two sons captured.

Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.

Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy.
He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.

Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly.
He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.

Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.

At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.

Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.

John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished.
A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.

Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians.
They were soft-spoken men of means and education.

They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged:
“For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.”

I think Biden is hard at work setting up these conditions ASAP.

I think Biden is hard at work setting up as many of these conditions ASAP. I would say that rather than individualized torment - Biden assaults citizens on the national scale.


Biden expends the lives of our warriors at will - they mean nothing to him. So the US intentionally mismanaged Afghanistan, costing the lives of soldiers and abandoning US citizens there. He's now edging US personnel into the Ukraine wherein US soldiers are required to operate some of the missiles. Under his administration, soldiers are allowed to 'resign' in the US - fight in the Ukraine as independent contractors - return to the US  and resume their military careers. Biden's actions risk nuclear war and he certainly knows it - and for what?

Biden is pouring the national treasury and depleting US weapon stocks at the same time - all in the name of protecting his money laundering crime hub, complete with bio warfare labs, and election interference services housed in the Ukraine. He weakens the US with the intention of putting us at the feet of our enemies, supine and begging for mercy.

Biden is bankrupting our entire country. He's weaponizing the IRS to 'go after' patriots. He's used Covid mandates to drive employees from their work and then their homes. Many forced into choosing between supporting their families/keeping their homes and getting an experimental 'vaccine' they didn't need. As a result many have suffered, and are suffering greatly - either dying or dealing with debilitating illnesses along with quality-of-life and job loss without the least interest or support from 'their' government.

The Biden regime is setting up the conditions of famine - destroying our economy piece at a time while eliminating resources. For some reason food production and other essential manufacturing is sharply under attack during his term....not to mention the rail system and fuel refineries..."

Under his administration, many cities have become unlivable, with people watching their home values evaporate leaving them with the prospect of accepting little for their homes aside from loan debt, and driving them to seek employment/housing far from the place they invested their lives. Vandals escape all prosecution and instead enjoy the support of laws originally meant to protect the innocent; hard won business must close down to make way for them.

Our tax dollars are being used to deplete Trump's financial empire in a process going on around 7 years now, and I don't believe he's the only one. They are using tried/true methods to bankrupt whomever they may, and they don't hesitate to frame people for crimes they didn't commit. I was shocked when I first saw Matt Gaetz crossing a street, followed by baying hounds yelling innuendos about  sex with minors and now I've recently heard it's 'time' for Congress to thoroughly investigate the rumors they created about him AGAIN. The administration is proud to criminalize being conservative. And yet he serves.

The constant ridicule and blame doled out by the  MSM for those who don't support Brandon has not silenced his detractors, however the media is unlikely to broadcast them, their words, or the chants against Lindsey Graham etc. "Let's Go Brandon' was not the original chant....but still the people chant.

January 6 protestors have been framed/jailed. The mother of a Jan 6 deep state victim was arrested as well for protesting. But still the people protest.

Some areas of the US are laying the groundwork to remove children from their homes for social pretenses - a recent one being 'failure to affirm gender identity'. But there are still parents who will risk jail to protect their children.

I think it's hard for people to accept their government is working to destroy them - but many have. Hard to overcome years of conditioning, but many are.

Prayers up. The resistance to tyranny, and need for said resistance, continues....
