As someone who was not born free, but was intensely lucky to have a brave mom who gave up her medical studies to bring me to America- the legal way- I spent it with her, my hero.
As always, you hit the nail on the head, Sasha, thank you.
We saw again last night Trump as the Victor rather than the Victim. How many from the Left would have complained violently if their event had been disrupted by weather. Would they have blamed "global warming" or perhaps "Trump"? The perpetual victims (losers) who never accept responsibility for anything
The Air Force band members were FANTASTIC! Incredibly talented. (All should be signed for major labels).
What a great crowd for the fireworks, which was quite a show and celebration.
Love that Trump and his administration found a creative solution to the cowardly propagandized musical acts that bowed out of celebrating our country (and theirs, last I checked, whose blessings they are happy to enjoy). Better and likely far more cost effective.
The indomitable spirit of Pres. Trump and his cabinet is evident and we are LUCKY to have them. (warts and all, and reminder that who should cast the first stone?!)
Agreed! That gal who was lead singer was awesome. There are a lot of big name acts with worse voices and musical skills. That sets the template for all future national events: use the military bands and singers who are inherently non-partisan rather than give some name act a chance to diss the Presidency and enhance their own marketability as being "courageous" (not sure what the threat would be; this is not China).
Off all that Trump said lately--his clarion call to warn us about the communist assault we are facing--will be noted as truly consequential... Wake up Republican voters! You all better get out there and vote the comms into oblivion--or the Republic may not make it to USA 260...
Let us be clear: Leftists are Losers with a Loser ideology that has never worked in 200 years.
There is something of divine providence at work that one side is celebrating 250 years of freedom and the free enterprise system, and the other is complaining after their 200 years of absolute failure.
Donald Trump is the last obstacle standing between our constitutional liberty and freedom and an expanding over-bearing government that places more power in Washington, more regulation on everyday life, and more Socialist control over the economy.
And more free stuffs to sloths just to buy votes.
After it is too late, Americans who oppose him today will look back and realize they did not understand — did not want to understand — what he was trying to preserve.
The country will eventually miss him not because he was perfect — no President is — but because he was willing to challenge institutions, confront Establishment policies and fight for American interests first.
Your posts are among the very few that I try never to miss. They're always a source of light shining through the moral and intellectual fog surrounding us. Thank you!
Sasha, great post. What a time to be alive!🇺🇸America faces challenges today as great as any from the past. Trump is doing a great job leading the country and the free world through perilous, uncharted waters. The left is blaming him for their own faults and weaknesses. As if his job wasn’t challenging enough already. Thank you for your regular installments of real-time history!
I just finished watching a 2-episode documentary on the life of Teddy Roosevelt. That President is on Mt. Rushmore. I see Teddy Roosevelt in Donald Trump. He has restored America to its role as a world leader. Trump is Teddy's version of strength- the Bull Moose! While Trump thundered his speech to an enthusiastic crowd, I saw a young, vigorous man, handsome and healthy. I worry about who will carry this energy into the next administration. I saw how President Taft, a trusted friend of Roosevelt, reversed many of Roosevelt's policies. God has blessed us at this time and place with a truly great President.
@sasha Why do you keep saying that he's not funding the national parks? Can you provide a citation? I retired from NPS and sure, the 99% percent of lefty park staff don't like anything trump does. I don't agree with many of the things he's done related to NPS, like putting his image on the annual.pass contrary to statute, but I also know that NPS wastes just as much money as other agencies and has.bloated and useless administrative staff. But everyone loves the parks and so they have better PR and get away with it. Are you talking about how he used the fee revenue to help beautify Washington DC? At least 20% of fee revenue can be used for national parks that don't collect fees such as the national mall and memorial parks and the white house. All administrations as far back as I can remember have squandered fee revenue for their own special pet projects. At least this money seems to be going to beautify our nations'capital. If you have an unbiased source that says he's defunding the parks please link to it or better yet please write a substack article about it! I consider you a trusted source
I just watched the 1984 movie, "1984" to remind myself of what George Orwell had documented about the horrors of totalitarianism in his time, the USSR, NAZI Germany and Japan. His story could have been about any, or all. It is horrifying. The depravity of "collectivism" which tears "self" from every human and replaces with "unit". This is the future the DSA envisions, with a few elites at the top, such as Zohran Mamdani, and all of us the "proles" to do their bidding. You can watch "1984 on Pluto TV "On-Demand" for free. It is hard to watch knowing it is today so true.
I read 1984 in school. It gave me nightmares, so I'll pass on watching the movie. However, it should be shown, taught to teens before they get pulled into The Borg mentality of the Left.
Frankly, I'm heartened by this resurgence of patriotism in those of us who defected from the Left. It's much more patriotism than before the madness struck. Where it was 50/50, it just might be 75/25 now. And who inspired this patriotism?
TRUMP.
He is the most American America has known in a long, long time. And all their contempt is doing is making us love our country more.
To use Trump's favorite word: It's beautiful. And it's more beautiful than ever before.
Watching the fireworks show now on YouTube and thinking similar thoughts. The more the left hates America , the better Trump gets.
The more the Left hates America, the better America gets
Correct point.
I'm with you Sasha. So grateful we have a Presdent with common sense, real business acumen, who lives America and knows it's true history.
The left has herd mentality. Cattle or Lemmings...
... and the better America gets!
Nice to see Salina Zito quoted.
As someone who was not born free, but was intensely lucky to have a brave mom who gave up her medical studies to bring me to America- the legal way- I spent it with her, my hero.
As always, you hit the nail on the head, Sasha, thank you.
Happy Birthday America!! God Bless you.
Bless you too ❣️ I’ll never regret giving my all to my children ! They are & can be our blessings❣️. 🙌🏽❤️🩹🙏🏽🇺🇸🕊️
Another great mom, thank you, Sandy!

Heck, the deep state probably seeded the clouds.

YOU are a treasure, Sasha! You speak for so many of us. Thank you for putting into words what is in our hearts!
Having come from the other side, she is becoming the voice of the normal people.

One side the winners, the other side the losers.

Yes Trump is our protector.
But I don’t believe it is too late. Everyone here should galvanize for the midterms to be sure we can keep our momentum.

Sasha - Thank you, President Trump, for giving your supporters the thrill of a lifetime and for showing people like me what real courage looks like.
♥️♥️♥️♥️
Starting the fireworks with Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4" was a surprising gift to my ears along with some other good tunes.

“That kind of heroism cannot be taught.” — perfectly stated.

Yes.... collectivism / Marxism IS A NIGHTMARE
Oh come on, Mandami just told us it's a warm embrace.
LOL!! I just posted about trusting "smiling faces"
