    The Squad celebrated July Fourth by condemning the country they represent. “This July 4th, we must remember that we stand on stolen land toiled by enslaved Africans and recommit ourselves to the fight for freedom, equality, & justice so that these ideals are accessible to everyone, not just a privileged few,” tweeted Rep. Jamaal Bowman. “We are not free until everyone is truly free.” “The Declaration of Independence was written by enslavers and didn’t recognize Black people as human,” declared Rep. Cori Bush on Twitter. “Today is a great day to demand Reparations Now.” The tweet signed off with a...

    In a Fourth of July message, Ben & Jerry's called on the United States to "commit to returning" stolen Indigenous land. The company defends its activism and states on its website that its social mission is to "eliminate injustices in our communities by integrating these concerns into our day-to-day business activities." On Tuesday, the company marked the federal holiday celebrating the nation's founding by calling on the U.S. government to give back the "stolen Indigenous land" upon which the nation was formed, Ben & Jerry's said in an online statement that the company shared on Twitter. "This 4th of July,...

    Police provided the public with details on Tuesday at a press conference, where they said that the rifle that was used was legally purchased. Robert Crimo III, 21, allegedly opened fire from a rooftop during the Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois, and evaded arrest for hours. Police said that Primo wore women's clothing in an attempt to conceal himself, specifically to help cover up his face tattoos. He may have worn a wig during the shooting.

    The world’s greatest eater will limp bravely into battle in the sport’s premiere event on Monday, July 4th. Joey Chestnut shocked the competitive-eating community on Friday when he hobbled into Hudson Yards in New York City on crutches during the official weigh-in before the 2022 Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest — a 4th of July tradition on Coney Island. “I’m gonna eat like a madman,” the world’s top-ranked eater told Fox News Digital before weighing in at 235 pounds.

    Save Independence Day. It is clear to me that the left has embarked on a campaign to reduce Independence Day to nothing more than a meaningless "holiday". The push is to elevate Juneteenth to a holiday that is more meaningful. Over the last week I have noticed a concerted effort in the media to downplay Independence Day. Even a lot of conservative people are referring to it as the Fourth of July. Push back against this movement and only refer to it as Independence Day. Remember, those that control the language control the battle sphere.

It brought a tear to mine, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it brought a tear or two to yours, too. By its title, one would expect a booming July 4th anthem, perfect to play at the BBQ or on the boat. It isn’t. “Seems like everybody’s pissin’ on the red, white and blue,” sings Keith.“Happy birthday...

    If you remember 1976, you recall "the Bicentennial Minute" that taught a moment's worth of American history each night on CBS, the story of how and why our nation began on July 4, 1776. "And the rockets' red glare, The bombs bursting in the air. Gave proof through the night. That our flag was still there." We should always be reminded that the reason why we have lived with so much freedom was because the men of 1776 were willing to fight and die in a revolution. Those are facts. But an anti-American elite promoting globalism (and foreign entanglements) regularly...

    American Thinker. com ^ | July 4, 2021 | Walter Johanson
    Classically-educated colonial Americans learned to be wary of monarchy from the Iliad and the Odyssey. It is very likely that, in July 1776, many Americans heard sermons based on the text of Psalm 143:6 -- “Put not your trust in princes….” One suspects that ministers used words even more harsh than those in the Declaration of Independence, where “the present King of Great Britain” was assailed for “repeated injuries and usurpations, all having their direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.” George III had been much admired by colonials. They had erected an equestrian statue to...

    At the time of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, John Adams predicted that Independence Day would be “celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shows, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forevermore.” Bonfires might violate local fire codes. The president says we don’t need no stinking guns -- because he has all the F-15s...

    Federal authorities are deeply concerned about the possibility of domestic terror and violence, including mass shootings, as the July Fourth holiday approaches and the summer season gets fully underway. A new Homeland Security bulletin obtained exclusively by ABC News warns that "violent extremists might seek to exploit easing COVID-19 restrictions, increased access to mass gatherings, and possible changes in levels of violence during the summer months to conduct attacks against a range of potential targets with little or no warning.” ..... Snip..... "In recent weeks, domestic violent extremists (DVEs) motivated by various violent ideologies have continued to advocate violence and...

    An Illinois town is holding a “Juneteenth” parade and a Pride parade, but has cancelled their Independence Day parade and fireworks. Evanston, Illinois has apparently decided that only holidays celebrating our nation are a COVID risk, apparently. The town is hosting a Juneteenth celebration and parade on June 19 and a Pride parade and day of events on June 26. Following the Pride parade, they will be holding a “Pride Community Picnic” in the park.

    Dr. Anthony Fauci said Tuesday it’s possible that Americans may be able to gather in larger groups on the Fourth of July — if the nation doesn’t pull back on public safety measures. “You know, that’s entirely conceivable and possible,” Fauci said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” Fauci explained that while President Biden set a more “reasonable” Independence Day goal of small groups being able to gather, it doesn’t mean that larger celebrations are off the table. “What the president was saying is that we traditionally have, at the Fourth of July, the kind of barbecue in the backyard, the kind...

    Was this past weekend the last time we will celebrate the Fourth of July? Right now, that certainly looks possible. In 2014, I wrote the book "The Murder of the Middle Class." Don't look now, but sadly ... tragically ... it's really happening. The left is crazy, extreme, radical, violent and ready for civil war. The Republican right -- outside of President Trump -- is a bunch of pathetic wimps ready to raise the white flag. We are the closest we've ever been to losing America. Have you ever seen as many spineless Republican politicians as we see today? Black...

    Black Lives Matter activists cite Douglass’s 1852 speech ‘What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?’ as proof America is evil. They utterly miss his point. Last week on CNN, as contributor Angela Rye accused White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnaney and President Trump of failing to understand the history of black America, she referred to the legendary Frederick Douglass. “Frederick Douglass said about Independence Day in this country, what to the slave is the Fourth of July?” she said. “And I would invite them to even start there, as a reading principle, to see how different we see...

    This cacophony comes from a sliver of society, with their voices amplified by a media selling an election year controversy to cripple President Trump. Donald Trump did not launch the latest culture war: The left-leaning press, political foes, Marxist-believing activists, and corporate and educational institutions did. When President Trump stood before a patriotic crowd on Friday night, under the watchful eyes of our country’s greatest presidents, his pronouncement that the silent majority will not retreat or surrender our founding principles was not divisive. It was American. On the eve of Independence Day, our 45th president proclaimed the truths on which...

    6 Ways To Raise A Patriot WhatÂ’s the most patriotic thing you can do right now? Raise a patriot! One silver lining of recent political and cultural upheaval is that parents are finally waking up to the indoctrination of their children. IÂ’ve always known my kidsÂ’ schools were liberal, but it wasnÂ’t until COVID-19 homeschooling began that I discovered my sonÂ’s high school curriculum included Chinese communist propaganda videos. I sat at my kitchen counter with my jaw open as we watched an assigned video justifying and promoting the Chinese Communist PartyÂ’s inhumane population control policies with zero counterpoint...

    We’re surrounded today by evidence that too few of us know our history, and too many have been mis-educated to see only its flaws. When we celebrate the Fourth, we’re not only observing our nation’s birthday. We’re also celebrating the things that came into the world along with it.When we obsess over our faults, we lose perspective and forget that aspect of our past. Never before had a country been built upon the idea that it was not the rule of kings but the dignity of each person that formed the basis of political and social order. We did that.Our...
