Rape, slavery, and genocide of the Natives
You’re on stolen land bitch 💯🗣️
“The average man does not want to be free. He simply wants to be safe.” —H.L. Mencken (1880–1956)
I am convinced that fourth of July celebrations should stop 🛑, it has become a day to commit crimes. People have lost their minds with these dam fire 🔥 works. You will find thousands of animals running wild afraid 😱 of all the fire workers and then you have people shooting into peoples homes. It’s a day to be absolutely crazy for stupid people.
Happy 4th of July for all american . God bless the USA
Americans 🍍🍍🍍
As a Brit I know some of you won't like me wishing you Happy 4th of July given you give us the heave-ho but I still believe America is still the greatest nation in the woirld despite all your faults and flaws
A poem read by Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Master Sgt. Roy P. Benavidez at his award ceremony.
Hello, remember me?
Some people call me Old Glory.
Others call me the Star-Spangled Banner.
But whatever they call me, I’m your flag,
The Flag of the United States of America.
Something has been bothering me,
So, I thought I’d talk it over with you,
Because it’s about you and me.
Not long ago,
People were lining up
On both sides of the street
To see a parade go by.
And naturally, I was leading that parade.
Proudly waving in the breeze.
And when your daddy saw me coming,
He would immediately remove his hat
And place it over his left shoulder.
So that his right hand would be over his heart.
And you, you were standing there
Right next to your dad.
You didn’t have a hat, and your little sister,
Not to be outdone, was standing right next to you.
Both of you had your right hand over your heart.
What has happened now?
I don’t feel as proud as I used to.
I’m still the same ol’ flag.
I see children around playing, shouting.
They don’t seem to know or care who I am or what I stand for.
I saw an elderly man take his hat off,
But when he saw others with theirs on, He turned around and slowly walked away.
Hey, I’m still the same ol’ flag.
A few stars have been added since those parades long ago.
A lot of blood has been shed.
Is it a sin to be patriotic anymore?
Have you forgotten who I am?
What I stand for? And where I’ve been?
Anzio, Guadalcanal, Korea and Vietnam.
Take a good look one of these days
At the memorial honor wall of all the names, of all those that never came back.
They gave their lives for this great nation to be free under God.
When you salute me,
You salute each and every one of them.
Well, it won’t be long now and I’ll be coming down that street leading a parade and proudly waving in the breeze.
So when you see me coming,
Stand up straight and salute.
And I’ll salute you by waving back.
And then I'll know that you remember.
He was awarded the Medal of Honor in 1981, as well as 5 Purple Hearts, the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Army Commendation Medal, and the Texas Legislative Medal of Honor. Roy Benavidez is presented the Medal of Honor by President Ronald Reagan, 1981.
Independence from Britain, while 4 of the 13 colonies (Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia) were building their economy through the inhumane practice of slave labor. I am not angry at all. It is just amazing how we can celebrate our freedom from England while turning a blind eye to the elephant in the room.
No matter how divided we get, things will get put together again I promise. One Nation Under God, Remember? I have a positive attitude today. I feel confident today.😁
This is still the greatest nation that the world has ever seen.
A bunch of English Subjects that owned slaves. Oh how glorious!!
The United States is built on racism, don’t forget that, hence why I don’t celebrate that brainwash of a holiday
26 years ago Russell Case gave his life so you could be free. Honor him. Happy Independence Day.
umm 247 years ago not 246!
Great reporting, Mark!! Very well done!👍👍👍
Knowing that President 🇺🇲 Joe Biden needlessly slaughtered over 350,000 Ukrainian 🇺🇦 Soldiers – I'm rather ashamed to be American today 💔😞
Despite a Corrupt Supreme Court, Corrupt Politicians, and this Orange Moron who is soon to be a 4 Time Loser, Happy 4th America! We are a very SICK Country!
The original inhabitants of what is called the United States, were not only NOT INCLUDED in this Independence, but were referred to in the Declaration as "merciless Indian Savages". Look it up, under grievance 27.
They weren't included in the rights of the constitution until 1978, less than 50 years ago.
So, go get your fireworks from an Indian Reservation, and spend some Jacksons in an Indian casino. We'll be able to buy the #LandBack in no time.
Happy 4th 🥳
Independence Day is of the up most important.
O say can you see, by the dusk's waning light,
So desperate are we, waking up from the dreaming,
Drenched in violence and fear, causing perilous fights,
O'er the piles of corpses, naught but pus and blood streaming!
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our ego's still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the hypocrites and the home of the crazed?
Independence.
Now, there are people who want to destroy the basic amendments they created. One's Freedom of Speach, Religion, and to bare Arms.
And now we are over run by illegal immigrants..we must speak spanish…..china owns our debts we have 90% chinese products in our homes
None of us are really free when we don’t have the right to chose when or if we want to have a family and who we choose to have that family with. We aren’t all free when a minority has rigged the system to be even more racist. We aren’t all free when a small minority is allowed to push their religious ideology onto the rest of us by placing far right wing stooges placed on the SCOTUS by a fraudulent POTUS placed by Putin, Murdoch, Leo and Koch.
Both Trump and DeSantis are a threat to our democracy and we must show up at the ballot box next year and keep them out of White House!
Modern Progressive globalist liberalism must be ended for good. It is our own greed that has created a multi polar world. To many Presidents have been killed or replaced for their gain, vanity. power, and greed.
