This is the party which prides itself on its compassion. The party who sticks up for the little guy.

A Joyous Independence Day in America: 249 and counting!

Today, July 4, 2025, marks America’s 249th birthday. On July 4, 1776, the thirteen colonies declared their independence from Britain, setting off a lengthy war, at the end of which they gained their independence from sometimes-brutal overlords across the Atlantic.
