  • The angry Left resists as the Right rejoices: A tale of two Independence Days

    The juxtaposition has never been more apparent. Here we have a solid majority of the country doing what we’ve always done as a republic: commemorate the passage of the Declaration of Independence with baseball, barbecues, and beer, capped off with an awesome fireworks display near you. But for whatever reason, the lunatics running the “No Kings” protests have a better idea by rejecting America’s greatness and resisting Trump in the name of “saving democracy” while denouncing the nation as horrible, racist, transphobic, and xenophobic. It is Zohran Mandani, who moved here from Uganda just a few years ago, who told...

    RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Police in Richmond, Virginia, said Wednesday that they thwarted a planned July 4 mass shooting after receiving a tip that led to the arrest of two men and the seizure of multiple guns — an announcement that came just two days after a deadly mass shooting on the holiday in a Chicago suburb. … Police initiated an investigation, along with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and FBI, which led to the arrests of two men on charges of being a non-U.S. citizen in possession of a firearm. Additional charges are possible, Smith said. Officers seized...

    President Donald Trump released a 4th of July message on Thursday, dropping the hammer on President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and special prosecutor Jack Smith. Trump, who was widely viewed as the winner of the first presidential debate last week, has remained relatively quiet while Biden attempts to assure allies and voters that he has the mental and physical stamina to continue his re-election campaign. Trump released his 4th of July statement hours after a leaked video of the former president calling Biden an “old, broken down pile of crap” went viral on social media. “Happy Fourth of...

    It is growing more costly to enjoy a celebratory meal on Independence Day in President Joe Biden’s (D) economy. In an email Wednesday, RNC Research pointed to the fact Americans will see the “most expensive Independence Day on Record” this year. “After the Biden White House attempted to brag about the price of an Independence Day barbeque going down by $0.16 in 2021, the same meal has since increased by $11.72 since then,” the email read, citing the American Farm Bureau Federation.

    Ben & Jerry’s has called on the US to give back “stolen Indigenous land” including Mount Rushmore — and now a Native American chief in Vermont said he’d like to talk about the land that’s under the ice cream maker’s headquarters. The “Chunky Monkey” maker — which previously has waded into controversies around Israel and Palestine — divided customers this week with a July 4 tweet that said: “The United States was founded on stolen indigenous land. This Fourth of July, let’s commit to returning it.” Ben & Jerry’s added that the US should “start with Mount Rushmore,” writing, “The...

    LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - Pro-choice protesters blocked a July 4th Parade at the State Capitol Monday. The 4th of July parade in Downtown Lansing ended shortly after it started when pro-choice protesters blocked the parade from continuing.

    As Joe Biden rambled about something his grandmother used to say to him while wrapping up a July 4th speech, his own wife had to remind him to say ‘God Bless America’, which he still didn’t do. Instead, he said ‘God protect our troops’. Watch: VIDEO AT LINK................. Biden then proceeded to take a big deep sniff of his wife’s hair: VIDEO AT LINK................. Biden’s approval has hit new lows, with A CIVIQS rolling job-approval average showing that 18 months into his term, Biden’s job approval stands at just 30 per cent, while 57 per cent disapprove of the job...

    Deeply moved by the power of the Declaration’s words, George Washington ordered copies sent to all generals in the Continental Army.Most Americans celebrating the July 4 holiday today don’t fully realize that the power of ideas in the Declaration of Independence was the critical enabling factor for the Americans to win the War of Independence. Compared to the British professional military, the American colonial army was simply no match—it was undermanned, underfunded, underequipped, inexperienced, and undertrained. At the outset of the war, the British Royal Navy had 270 warships deployed in American waters, while the Continental Navy had seven ships.On...

    Article V Blog ^ | July 3rd 2020 | Rodney Dodsworth
    Independence Day makes Progressives squirm. They despise the principles of the American Revolution. If they could, their scotus judges would gut the Declaration as thoroughly as they have the Constitution. To them, our Noble Declaration, this expression of God-given reason subverts social justice; they are right. Since the Declaration is indeed hostile to their moral relativism, the Left has long attempted to minimize our founding to a fuzzy faith in the people. The “deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,” and “all men are created equal,” translates in their Marxist minds as widespread democracy accompanied with equal...

    When the city of Friendswood, Texas, announced on Facebook that hometown hero Haley Carter would be the grand marshal for the town’s famed Fourth of July parade, the post was peppered with excited comments. Carter, who was in the Marines and is a retired professional soccer player, was just the type of person residents wanted to see lead the parade. Then the right-wing culture warriors showed up. Conservative radio host Jesse Kelly tweeted the same day that Friendswood had appointed a “gun-grabber” who is “into drag” and “trans activism” to lead the parade. Kelly is from Ohio, ran a failed...

    Famed poem calls America 'heav'n rescued land' Many Americans have a startling lack of knowledge about their own national anthem. Studies in recent years show 90 percent of children could not say what a national anthem was, never mind sing it. Neither could 80 percent of adults sing more than three lines.
