As I said on X, I’m just going to vibe, grill and chill, enjoy the fireworks show with the kids tonight in Auburn and pretend this country is independent from Israel for the day. President Netanyahu will be arriving in Washington for his victory speech over Iran on Monday.

  1. Is JD going to ask Bibi if he’s ever thanked President Trump for the US’s help on Monday like he did with Zelensky?

  2. Exactly Brad, you hit the nail on the head….. happy indipendence day to fellow Americans, but while you’re free from British crown, you are still under the control of Israel crown.

    • While millions of Americans celebrate the 4th of July over grilled hamburgers and hotdogs while waving their cheap Chinese-made American flags, just know that there are people who have outstanding warrants for exercising their First Amendment rights in this so-called “land of the free.” Alas, a lot of Americans naively believe we are free, but that is not true. So no, I won’t be celebrating the 4th of July, as I and many other freedom-loving Americans live under a tyrannical Communist police state ruled by rogue tyrants. As Patrick Henry said, “give me liberty or give me death.”

    • I’m celebrating the 4th.

      You can’t let your feelings toward the current occupant of the White House define your view of all American history and Americans as a people.

  4. Screw the parasite desert country 7,000 miles away. Happy beat the world super power for self determination day. “Amputation was the most common operation during the Revolutionary War. A patient was held down by two surgical mates and a leather tourniquet fitted with a screw was placed just above the line where the limb was to be sawn off. Then the doctor took a large curved surgical knife or scalpel and cut to the bone. He then took a bone saw and cut the limb off,” Parsons said.”

    “The Declaration of Independence was a solidification of prior state action rather than a moment of instigation. Beginning in 1775 the former colonies began declaring themselves states rather than colonies and writing their own constitutions with New Hampshire becoming the first in January 1776 followed by Virginia, South Carolina, New Jersey. Rhode Island renounced its allegiance to Britain and revised its charter a full two months before the Declaration of Independence was adopted. These independent states joined together in an act of secession as they were seeking to dissolve the political bands that tied them to Great Britain. Each colony that fought against the crown was a secessionist regime. Secession is a central part of this nation’s founding sown at the time of its founding.
     
    At the time of the nation’s founding the states considered themselves to be sovereign entities that could compact together to address common needs, and it could reverse that decision if the common governing body no longer fulfilled its duty. Sovereignty was not relinquished. This is not only documented, but procedurally it is reinforced in that each state needed to ratify the primary governing documents before those documents took effect within that state’s legal jurisdiction. For instance, the U.S. Constitution was drafted by a committee in Philadelphia, it was then sent to the states to ratify individually. And while the Constitution only required nine of the thirteen states to be put into effect, only those states that had ratified it would be part of the Union. Those who had not ratified could not take part in the new government. This is a continuation of the political practice started with the Articles of Confederation in which the Second Continental Congress drafted and approved the Articles but then sent them to each state for independent ratification. The same is true of the Declaration of Independence—no state was forced against its will to fight the British once a majority of states accepted the Declaration; rather, it required unanimous consent from each state in Congress.”
     
    Secessionist thought is often commingled with the U.S. Civil War, but one of the first moves toward secession after the formation of the United States was undertaken by the New England Federalist Party between 1814-1815 in reaction to the War of 1812 at what is known as the Hartford Convention. Lest we forget that Tennessee was formed through secession from North Carolina, Kentucky from Virginia, and Maine from Massachusetts. Secession is neither uniquely American with Sweden seceding from Norway, Belgium from the Dutch, and Eritrea from Ethiopia to name only a few. But for most Americans our understanding of secession is clouded by the war between the states and the subsequent Supreme Court decision of Texas v White (1869) that declared secession unconstitutional despite historical and normative claims to the contrary.
     
    Almost without exception a discussion of secession introduces the issue of slavery. But that is a product of an undisciplined mind that cannot separate two mutually exclusive ideas rather than a fact of reality. Secession is about self-determination; it is the ultimate weapon against tyrannical government. As Jefferson writes, “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,–That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…” A people unable to dissolve political bonds are a people who no longer have the ability to preserve the rights endowed to them by their Creator but have instead given all authority to some distant governing body. This would be antithetical to every precedent-setting document one could read at the time of the founding. To say that states gave up their right to secede when they ratified the Constitution is to not understand the founders as they understood themselves. A people committed to freedom and liberty would not so willingly give up the very thing that allowed them to be free in the first place.”

  5. President Netanyahu will be arriving in Washington for his victory speech over Iran on Monday.

    Watch out! This guy is a terrorist himself. His father’s original name was not Netanyahu but Mileikowsky…

    His brother was killed in the Entebbe raid…

    Wikipedia:
    Yonatan “Yoni” Netanyahu … March 13, 1946 – July 4, 1976) was an Israeli military officer who commanded Sayeret Matkal during the Entebbe raid. The raid was launched in response to the 1976 hijacking of an international civilian passenger flight from Israel to France by Palestinian and German militants, who took control of the aircraft during a stopover in Greece and diverted it to Libya and then to Uganda, where they received support from Ugandan dictator Idi Amin. Though Israel’s counter-terrorist operation was a success, with 102 of the 106 hostages being rescued, Netanyahu was killed in action – the only Israeli soldier killed during the crisis…

    …In 1997, [Benjamin] Netanyahu authorized a Mossad operation to assassinate Hamas leader Khaled Mashal in Jordan, just three years after the two countries had signed a peace treaty. The Mossad team, covering as five Canadian tourists, entered Jordan on 27 September 1997 and injected poison into Mashal’s ears in a street in Amman. The plot was exposed and two agents were arrested by the Jordanian police while three others hid in the Israeli embassy which was then surrounded by troops. An angry King Hussein demanded Israel to give out the antidote and threatened to annul the peace treaty. Netanyahu relented to the demands after pressure by US President Bill Clinton and ordered the release of 61 Jordanian and Palestinian prisoners including Sheikh Ahmad Yassin. The incident sent the nascent Israeli-Jordanian relations plummeting…

  6. “The Founders” were the Bolsheviks of their day. That they didn’t completely ruin everything was due only to the opposition, the Antifederalists, who defeated Madison’s first draft of the Constitution, which consisted of a Federal Monopoly on all power, with nothing left to the States or the people. Later the Antifederalists forced a Bill of Rights on the horrified “founders”.

    The Articles of Confederation were outstanding. There were no defects at all. The Lawyers of Philadelphia wouldn’t let it go. They needed their tyrannical Central Government mostly for the Bank, but also for their “American System” (systematic looting of the public treasury).

    The American Lenin, George Washington, was the key figure. He was such a man of the people that he asked the Virginia House of Burgesses to grant him Allodial title to an enture County. And they did. Just like that!

  9. WTF, Sen. Cruz, it’s America’s birthday but what the date reminds you of is something about Israel?!?

    That’s a long way from Texas, the place you’re *supposed* to represent.

  10. Yeah, I thought this was the direction the site was going.

    Can’t say I’m surprised. Happy 4th folks. I’ll be around, but I’m done for a while.

    Gonna focus on my finances and health, my career and all the things we’ve been blessed with, despite all our colossal screw ups, dereliction as citizens, and the many many failures born of hubris and limitless folly.

    There really is so much more to be grateful for than any time in my life. This one dimensional worldview is a toxic distortion of reality. It will bear toxic fruit, as it always has, and I’m not gonna be a part of it anymore. I’ve said everything that was in my heart to shed a different light on it, but its not where my head is anymore and I’m fed up talking about the same damn things and accomplishing nothing in the last ten years.

    Take care of yourselves.
