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.

The Feds started it with the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. They attempted to right all the wrongs of Jim Crow by injecting bias into federal hiring and contracting. Companies doing work for the government were required to hire minority employees, and contractors were required to testify that they have some of their business …

Most everyone will now be aware of the centrally planned and executed riots occurring in most major, DemocRat-controlled cities.

Hello, everyone. I found the post below quite thought-provoking, and I would like to hear what you think. From multiple sources, we know that Islamists are pouring into most European countries, and altering their societies to reflect their own barbaric origins. This is being accomplished with the help and encouragement of the leaders of England, …

Do you know who the Stasi were? They were the ubiquitous secret police of Communist East Germany. They infiltrated every aspect of society, where citizens were urged to report their friends, coworkers, and even family members for activities against the State. No one could trust any other person.
