I hadn’t read the Declaration of Independence since high school history class. Ah, yes, history class! In fact we had American history throughout the tenth grade, then world history during our junior year. When I listen to the TikTok crowd spew the nonsense they champion today, I think how easily their knuckle-headed thinking could have been cured with a few good history classes. Alas, I don’t see much hope for the future, as long as the teachers in our urban areas are in the clutches of politicians and unions with a far different agenda from real education. Now rereading the document for the first time in decades (shame on me for taking so long), I had forgotten that the bulk of the text is a list of grievances suffered by the American colonists at the hands of the king and various elements under his tyrannical regime. What has truly stunned me these 250 years later, however, is how familiar these grievances feel in our contemporary situation. Let’s take a peek at the exact text, and see if anything feels uncomfortably close to home (the “He” refers to King George, of course, and I will use the original spelling and punctuation): “He has refused to Assent to Laws” Hmm, every “sanctuary state” governor today for starters… “He has made Judges dependent of his Will alone” Hmm, activist judges anybody? “He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people” Hmm, 87,000 new armed IRS agents. Ring a bell? “For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent” Hmm, ever looked at your tax bill? “…transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny…” Hmm, thirty million military-age males pouring across our open borders from 2020 to 2024… “He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us” Hmm, BLM and Antifa riots… SHORT VERSION: LEAVE US ALONE! The very essence of the Declaration of Independence is a concerted celebration of God’s gift of our “unalienable” right to “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” It was argued, researched, debated yet again, drafted by Jefferson, then edited by Adams, Franklin, and others. Together the bravest men stood together against the storm of tyranny and gambled it all. As I reread it today, I literally shed tears at those miraculous words: “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortune and our sacred Honor.” And then, of course, there were those who shed more than tears. They shed their blood, watched their homes burn, and too many gave the ultimate sacrifice. Whether they formed local militias or joined the Continental Army, colonists now dedicated to the cause, gambled their very lives. One of those Americans was my ninth generation ancestor. He fought in one of the most consequential battles of the American Revolution, the Battle of Cowpens. I am forever honored that his blood runs in my veins. I know that this will be a joyful and glorious weekend for all of you, God willing. It should also be, if I may presume to say, a solemn one as well. The sacrifices made by simple men and women those many years ago have made these precious rights and this glorious day possible. Take a moment and honor them in your heart. I know I will.

Say his name: JOHNNY HURLEY. June 21, 2021 in Olde Town Arvada, Colorado. Johnny Hurley was shopping inside the nearby Army Navy Surplus Store when he heard shots fired. He ran outside into the square with his concealed handgun, closing the distance to roughly 40 to 50 feet while instructing bystanders to get down. From this distance, Hurley fired six rounds, striking and fatally neutralizing the gunman. We are told that moments after stopping the threat, Hurley crouched down and picked up the gunman’s AR-15 rifle to disarm it. Arvada Police Officer Kraig Brownlow—who was stationed inside a nearby substation roughly 75 to 100 feet away—mistook Hurley for an active shooter and fired the fatal shot from behind. People of Colorado are alive today because of Hurley. Continue to speak his name. Continue to learn from his bravery and courage. Continue to carry arms and train to defend life. God bless Johnny Hurley.

Have you heard of Roy Cooper? Roy Damn Cooper was the governor of NC responsible for releasing Iryna Zarutska’s murderer from prison early. @RoyCooperNC is running for U.S. Senate. He must not be elected. Iryna - you will never be forgotten! RIP, Angel! 🙏😢✝️

Remember that time when HillaryClinton introduced her friend GeorgeSoros and his interest to get involved in US elections? The Internet sure doesn't. Why? Because it has been wiped from existence for the most part. Turns out I found a copy of the file I had archived years ago. Be a real shame if people save and shared this widely. FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING.

Today, we were honored to celebrate U.S. Army Sergeant (Ret.) Mary Dague as she moves into her mortgage-free, specially adapted smart home built by the Gary Sinise Foundation. Mary was still in high school when the attacks of September 11 changed the course of her life. Determined to serve her country, she chose one of the most dangerous jobs in the Army - becoming an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technician, trained to locate and disarm live explosives. On November 4, 2007, while deployed to Iraq, Mary and her team were dismantling an IED placed between a school and nearby apartment buildings. After placing the device in the back of their vehicle, Mary noticed it rocking. Instinctively, she pulled the bomb against her body to shield her teammates from the blast. The explosion threw her into a Humvee behind her. Both of Mary’s arms were instantly amputated, her eardrums ruptured, and shrapnel tore across her face. Within minutes, she was on a Medevac helicopter fighting for her life. Through years of surgeries, recovery, and unimaginable challenges, Mary faced each obstacle with determination and resilience. As she once shared about her recovery, she pushed forward with a smile - hoping her strength might help others around her heal as well. This home will give Mary the independence, comfort, and stability she deserves as she continues building a beautiful life alongside her husband, James. As Mary herself shared, "This house is more than a house. It’s a safety that I’ve not felt in a really long time." Welcome home, Mary, and thank you for your extraordinary courage and sacrifice. 💙 A special thank you to the American people and our amazing partners, without whom this would not be possible: @DukeCannon, Nucor, and @JELDWEN. We also want to thank the following partners for dedicating their time, energy, generosity, and resources to the construction of Mary's home: Marcus Foundation, Sunbelt Rentals, Home Depot Foundation, Shubert Design Furniture, Owens Corning, Amazon, Huber Engineered Woods, US LBM, ATD, McDermott Will & Schulte, Nice, Scripps Family Impact Fund, Cabinetworks, LP, Installed Building Products, Winston & Strawn, Alston & Bird, Natural Stone Institute, National Wood Flooring Association, National Association of Home Builders, BQuest Homes, BEHR, Broan-NuTone, Daltile, Encore Wire, Ferguson, MAPEI, North American Moving Services, Nucor Rebar Fabrication, Rheem, Simple Green, and TEXTON.

JUST IN: Sacramento Sheriff SLAMS Gavin Newscum’s “elderly parole program” which is allowing David Funston, a serial child r*pist to go free. David used candy & toys to lure children as young as FOUR to moIest. A judge called him “the monster parents fear the most.” Thanks to Newscum, he will now be on the streets again.

I could use your help with sharing the video below. This is my only favor I'm asking for this year. 😂 Let's crash the Superbowl with my Non-essential Commentary.

Due to unforeseen circumstances ( Glock Gen 6 release, and that new @SonsOfLibertyGW motha f*ckin rifle 😍), Mrs Martin is about to hit some rough financial times. I need you guys to buy about 20,000 books this month. That is all.

Would you please share if you like this so I can continue to post music? Otherwise it's nostalgia all day long. No kidding.

Can we please stop showing and sharing photos of the monster that murdered this beautiful woman?
