On June 13, 1777, a 19-year-old French teenager landed on a beach in South Carolina, uninvited, to fight in someone else's war. He would become one of the most important men in American history. The Marquis de Lafayette was one of the richest young aristocrats in France. He had a beautiful wife, a fortune, and zero reason to risk any of it. But he believed in the American cause so fiercely that when the French king forbade him from going, Lafayette bought his own ship and sailed anyway. He literally went AWOL from a life of luxury to bleed for a country that didn't exist yet. Congress was annoyed at first. Another foreign officer looking for a paycheck? Then Lafayette offered to serve for free and pay his own way. That got their attention. He met Washington and the two formed one of the great father-son bonds in American history. Washington had no biological children. Lafayette named his only son George Washington Lafayette. He took a bullet in the leg at Brandywine and kept rallying the retreat. He was instrumental at Yorktown, the battle that won the war. He went home a hero on two continents. A foreign teenager believed in America before America did. 249 years ago today.

If there’s only one thing I want you to remember as someone who actually grew up in Iran, it’s this: A bully only backs down when he faces a bigger bully. Trump’s approach is messy, unconventional, and disruptive, but that’s exactly why it has a real chance of working. Because the regime itself is messy, unconventional, and disruptive. This is not a normal government. It doesn’t play by any rules, and it doesn’t care about looking good or ethical. Anyone who tries to act diplomatic or “proper” with them has already lost. For the mullahs, diplomacy has always just been a fancy word for lying, deceiving, and hiding their true intentions. Now they’ve run into someone their old tricks don’t work on. Someone who flips the table whenever he feels like it, who doesn’t care about diplomatic etiquette, and who is completely unpredictable to them. They can’t outsmart him like they used to. Messing with the lion’s tail this time could cost them dearly, because unlike Obama, Trump actually has his finger on the trigger, and unlike @netanyahu , nothing is holding him back. Another reason his style seems so chaotic is that the global system and other powers have long benefited from keeping the status quo, a corrupt system that quietly protected the regime. Trump is breaking that old order apart. For Trump, this whole negotiation and deal-making process is basically a soft war. It’s a deliberate strategy to gradually disarm and weaken the regime piece by piece, at minimum cost. Even if a deal is reached, he won’t stop, He’ll continue until the regime is so eroded and weak that the Iranian people finally have a fair chance to confront and defeat it themselves. It won’t happen overnight, but if you look at the direction things are going, the trend is clear. President Trump knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s not performing for us. He’s taking massive risks with his political capital. It’s a big gamble, yes, but it doesn’t mean it won’t work. And if one person can actually pull Iran out of this cancer, it’s him. No one else. Trust the man, trust the process.

USPS JUST FLIPPED THE SCRIPT ON MAIL-IN VOTING, which comes straight from Trump's March executive order to secure elections. States must hand over their full mail-in & absentee voter lists, plus every ballot's personalized barcode, or risk the USPS STOPPING delivery entirely.

This article was written by a 26 yr old college student by the name of Alyssa Ahlgren, who's in grad school for her MBA. What a GREAT perspecitve..👍🏽 My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us! I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around. I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it. Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought. We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!! Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ?? Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity." Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in. When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided. My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress. Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country. People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism. Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism. We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."

🚨 OUTRAGEOUS RINO BETRAYAL! 🚨 Rep. Tim Burchett just torched Senate Leader John Thune: Why the HELL has the House bill to STOP American taxpayer dollars from funding the TALIBAN been collecting dust for 11 MONTHS with ZERO action?! Thune admitted on camera he hadn’t even read it. Every week of this BS = $40 MILLION of YOUR hard-earned money flowing straight to terrorists! Trump voters didn’t elect Republicans to fund our enemies while they sleep. This is pathetic. DEMAND A VOTE NOW! Fire up your Senators and make them act. Share if you’re DONE with this weak garbage! Tag your Senators!

This mofo needs to be h__g...

Nobody asked them to do it. Nobody trained them for it. They were just two teenage boys — the kind you pass on the sidewalk and barely notice — leaning on their bikes in the summer heat when they saw something no child should ever have to experience. A man walked away with 5-year-old Jocelyn Rojas. She was supposed to be playing outside. She was supposed to be safe. And in that single, awful second — while most of us would have been paralyzed, reaching for a phone, waiting for someone with a uniform and a badge to show up — these two boys made a choice. They got on their bikes and they went after him. No hesitation. No waiting for permission. No "someone else will handle it." Just two pairs of legs pumping hard through the streets of Lancaster, eyes locked on a stranger who had a little girl that wasn't his. They tracked him. They stayed close. They didn't let him disappear into the afternoon like something that was never going to be found. And then they confronted him. Two teenagers. On bikes. Against a grown man who had already done the unthinkable. They forced him to stop. He let Jocelyn go. "The entire thing lasted only minutes." — Lancaster Police Minutes. Because two boys closed the distance fast enough to interrupt it. Because they were raised — by someone, somehow — to believe that other people's emergencies are your business too. When reporters asked one of them afterward why they did it, he gave the most deflating, most beautiful, most teenage answer imaginable. He shrugged. "I just felt like it was the right thing to do." No speech. No GoFundMe. No press conference. Just a kid who saw a little girl in danger and couldn't make himself look away. Jocelyn went home. She was reunited with her family. She got to grow up. Because of two boys on bikes who hadn't been asked, hadn't been trained, hadn't been paid — and did it anyway.

Imagine it’s June 3, 1776 “We have received certain intelligence that Britain is Determined to use her utmost endeavors this year to Subdue us,” you write in a letter to your wife who is back home in New Hampshire.

"Bridger Walker is the boy who saved his younger sister from a vicious dog attack... He received ninety stitches throughout his body, but saved his three-year-old sister from certain death. "If someone was going to die, it must be me, I'm the older brother." The World Boxing Council (WBC) recognized him as a World Heavyweight Champion for a day! It will remain in the official historical record of the WBC. For that one day, he was the best fighter in the world."

The Carroll case rested on a sequence of legal maneuvers with no precedent in American civil litigation. Democratic legislators passed a retroactive temporary law eliminating the statute of limitations for decades-old accusations that could not be dated, located, or defended with alibis. The day the temporary law took effect, Carroll filed her pre-prepared lawsuit, the first in the state to do so. A Democratic mega-donor secretly funded the plaintiff’s legal costs through a nonprofit. The arrangement stayed hidden until one of Trump’s lawyers discovered it. A Clinton-appointed judge then sealed all records so the jury never learned the billionaire backer had publicly committed to Trump’s political destruction. Every participant in the legislative, funding, and judicial steps operated inside the same political network, and each decision produced the same cumulative result. The jury explicitly checked “no” on the verdict form’s specific rape question. The judge ruled rape proven anyway, claiming the jury had used a common rather than statutory definition… an impossibility, since their rejection under the common definition precludes rape by any standard. Trump’s team was barred from arguing innocence before a second jury, which awarded $83.3 million ($65 million punitive) on the rape finding the first jury had rejected. A defendant was sued for defamation over denying an accusation, prevented from asserting that denial as a defense, tried before a judge who concealed the plaintiff’s political funding, and hit with a nine-figure verdict built on facts the jury itself refused to find. No comparable sequence exists in recorded U.S. civil litigation history.

It’s all one big club and you ain’t in it.

Perfectly stated.

REPORTER: I just want to make sure I understand. You're alleging that the Southern Poverty Law Center was paying the leaders of KKK and other groups? BLANCHE: I'm not alleging it. The grand jury returned an indictment that says that. The media can't even handle the truth.... so let's do their jobs for them and make sure EVERYONE sees it. #thinblueline #lawenforcement

Yep. Send her back to the bar.

The Cambridge, MA, City Council just voted to DISCONTINUE the use of ShotSpotter technology used to detect gunfire. This vote came after activists said it would impact Black people and illegals the most You can’t make this up.

The J6ers were persecuted by the court of opinion because of the MANY LIES THAT THIS PIECE OF HORSESH1T told anyone with a microphone who would extend his 15 minutes of fame. My nephew, Matthew Perna, was ostracized by his community. He was ridiculed on every social media platform, and he suffered to the point of hanging himself in his garage. WHY @FBIDirectorKash IS MICHAEL FANONE WALKING AROUND FREE? He told anyone who would listen to his sorry a$$ that he suffered from the following injuries: 1. Heart Attack 2. Concussion 3. Traumatic Brain Injury 4. Burns 5. Loss of Consiousness 6 Multiple Laser Injuries 7. Chemical Irritant Exposure 8. PTSD 9. Phyisical Assault Injuries 10. Head and Neck Trauma Yet, his OWN BODY CAM FOOTAGE SHOWS NONE OF THOSE THINGS OCCURRING. HIS LIES COST PEOPLE THEIR LIVES, AND DAMNIT, SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT HIM!

It never ceases to feel cringy about the person when reading someone's post denigrating some aspect of @realDonaldTrump. How narcissistic are you to feel the need to do so? Everyday. On all subjects.
