It’s Independence, not In Dependence, Day

Two hundred and forty-five years ago, the brave Founders of this nation declared their independence from the rule of George III, the monarch of Great Britain. In so doing they declared -- and put at risk -- their lives, liberty, and fortunes -- to stand for freedom and self-determination. Looking at the week’s news it’s easy to see why many of us feel the liberty they fought for and enshrined in the Constitution that followed is slipping away at the hands of vocal minorities who have captured the media, Big Tech, the education establishment, the federal executive branch, and even the military.

By way of example, we learned that in San Diego one unit of the Navy -- a military branch in recent years rife with incompetence just as it looks that we will most need it -- was forced to take a mandatory diversity hike for Pride Month waving LGBT flags. This is not the first time members of this unit were forced to support this stuff against their free speech rights. In April the males in one battalion of the unit was compelled to pose with signs which read “No more rape.”

THIS, is a day or Remembrance like no other.

Our existence as America and Americans is (sorry) dependent on this day's remembrance.

EVERYTHING I know, is because I was born in the USA.

Coerced speech seems (to me) to be the opposite of free speech.

Dependance Day. Brought to you by a government who sold us out to the Chinese without the military firing a shot.
