Happy FOURTH OF JULY to everyone. We are working hard, we will take back our Country, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. The 2024 Election is our LAST GREAT CHANCE!
Good news! It would be delightful to watch Disney crumble. It would be even more delightful to see them have to sell off and be purchased by a nice, family-friendly, pro America, pro tradition company, advertise as such, and be boycotted by the crazed lefties. Talk about being a great place for family and fun......not a liberal in sight!
From your lips to God’s ears, exit. Imagine President Trump in office, the swamp drained, and a full-out revival. Worth staying alive for!
For both our countries, I say “Amen!”.

AS PER THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, ONLY 113 MILLION VOTES WERE CAST IN 2020.
IF THAT IS THE CASE AND TRUMPS TURNOUT WAS 74 MILLION AND ZERO VOTES WERE SWITCHED FROM TRUMP TO BIDEN BY THE DOMINION VOTING MACHINES, THEN THAT WOULD HAVE LEFT BIDEN WITH ONLY 39 MILLION VOTES.
ALL SOURCES CLAIM HE RECEIVED 81 MILLION VOTES. MORE THAN EVEN OBAMA AND TRUMP ALSO.
THAT MEANS THERE IS OVER 41 MILLION INVALID VOTES.
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE SHOULD BE ON TRIAL OR ALREADY CONVICTED OF SEDITION AND TREASON.
OMG!!! I must have accidently got some of Hunter’s cocaine on my hands and into my mouth. I am seeing an American Flag moving and flashing all over. GROOVY!!!
I like Willie Nelsons songs. My youngest daughter says she can’t stand his nasally sound.
It’s an acquired taste....sound....whatever. I guess it is a bit nasally - I’m not a huge fan, but I do like that one song.
LOL...love it.....
I’m wearing my red, white and blue TRUMP WON! tee, today.

The Declaration of Independence is adopted
On this day in history, July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence is adopted. Congress had voted unanimously two days before to sever all ties with Great Britain. The discrepancy in dates causes some confusion. The actual date of the decision to break from Great Britain was July 2nd, but the language of Congress’ public announcement was adopted on July 4th.
_________________________________________________________

Tensions with Great Britain had been increasing for years and many colonists were hoping to reconcile with their mother country. After the American Revolution raged for a year, however, enough citizens began to see that reconciliation was impossible and this meant that a vote for independence in Congress could actually succeed.

On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia presented the Lee Resolution to Congress, calling for a declaration of independence, the creation of foreign alliances, and the confederation of the 13 colonies. Congress immediately appointed a committee to prepare such a declaration, but tabled the vote until July 2.
The Committee of Five, consisting of Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Roger Sherman and Robert Livingston, was tasked with writing the declaration. Thomas Jefferson wrote most of the document with input from the others. The committee presented their document to Congress on June 28, but it was tabled for a few days.

On July 2, the full Congress assembled, and 12 of the 13 colonies represented voted for independence (with New York abstaining). After the vote, Congress debated and revised the committee’s Declaration and adopted it in its final version on July 4th.
On the evening of July 4th, about 200 copies of the Declaration of Independence were printed by printer John Dunlap. These copies were sent around the country and read in various places and published in newspapers. The first public readings occurred in Philadelphia, in Easton, Pennsylvania and in Trenton, New Jersey on July 8th. George Washington had the Declaration read to the Continental Army in New York City on the 9th.
The first Declaration did not have the signatures of the 56 signers. Instead, most of these were added to a parchment copy on August 2nd. Others who were not present signed at later dates. In January, 1777, Congress had more copies printed by Mary Katherine Goddard in Baltimore, this time with the signatures included. This was the first time the world learned of who had signed the document.
Many of the signers suffered great personal harm during the war as a result of their loyalties to the American cause. Some, such as Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, John Hancock and Benjamin Franklin, went on to become political leaders of the new United States and eventually became heroic and iconic figures of American history.

Michael Smith wrote this moving account of the fate that befell many of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence:
___________________________________________________________
Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who 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.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
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 or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, 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. The owner 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.’”
