Call it the Arc de Trump. President Trump posted an architect’s rendering of a huge triumphal arch to mark the nation’s 250th birthday – and his biggest change yet to the capital’s skyline. The stone arch would be constructed just across the Potomac River from the Lincoln Memorial — soaring above that memorial’s 99-foot height — and add a major new element to DC’s public architecture. The online sketch depicts a massive monument that bears a strong resemblance to the Washington Square Park arch in Manhattan and the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The stone monument features carved wreaths, two...

Is the U.S. Constitution worth preserving? Of course it is. Is it worth defending, even at the cost of life and limb? Of course it is. Is it worth distributing to young and old, including in our schools? Of course it is. Well, actually, not everybody agrees with that last part. Here is a two-year-old story that somehow escaped wide attention. It’s still relevant today because many of our elites likewise have a low view of the Constitution. The essence of the story is this: In a liberal school board in Texas two Septembers ago, attempts to distribute pocket copies...

While we're still a year away from the America 250 celebration, The Radical Left is already melting down that President Trump is actually making an effort to make America 250... Pro-American. The hard left publications Mother Jones and The Atlantic dropped their rage posts, and they read exactly as one would expect. Mother Jones offers How MAGA Took Over America’s 250th Birthday. Amanda Moore and Dan Friedman waste no time, pointing out that the Army's 250th birthday celebration parade finished just steps away from Trump's January 6th election integrity rallying speech. Even more sinister, both were organized by the same...

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) praised the celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the United States Army, noting that politics aside, it is “appropriate” for people to celebrate. “This parade is comprised of our sons, daughters, mothers and fathers—the very best of us,” Fetterman wrote in a post on X. “Regardless of your politics, it’s appropriate to celebrate the 250 years of sacrifice, dedication and service.” Fetterman’s words come as leftist protesters across the nation have gathered for “No Kings” protests in contrast to President Donald Trump’s parade to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army.

WASHINGTON (AP) — As the nation’s capital cleans up from the culmination of World Pride this past weekend, focus now shifts to a very different massive event — Saturday’s military parade to honor the 250th birthday of the Army and the 79th birthday of President Donald Trump.“We’re preparing for an enormous turnout,” said Matt McCool of the Secret Service’s Washington Field office, who said more than 18 miles of “anti-scale fencing” would be erected and “multiple drones” would be in the air. The entire District of Columbia is normally a no-fly zone for drones. Army officials have estimated around 200,000...

Patrick Henry was a man of deep faith, so his remarks appeal to spiritual courage and trust in God as the foundation for fighting against tyranny. Here are a few segments that are as applicable today as they were when spoken 250 years ago, particularly as we engage in what can...
