Touring Independence Hall on July 4 is a favorite pastime of mine. Arguably one of the most important buildings in the history of Western civilization, Independence Hall is where the country began. It’s where the Founding Fathers debated and adopted the Declaration of Independence and United States Constitution. Being born and raised in Philadelphia, and spending my high school years living a few blocks away from where the nation was founded, visiting there became a family ritual during the holiday.
Although nobody has confirmed whether Hunter Biden actually lives at the White House, the White House press pool confirmed that the first son was at the executive mansion on Friday when he decamped with the first lady to join President Joe Biden at Camp David for a second weekend in a row. While still away on Sunday, the Secret Service discovered cocaine in the White House, prompting a security scare and a heady whodunit.
Mexico reached what might be a new low in its complaints about America’s response to the illegal immigration crisis at our enjoined borders. Not only does the Mexican government refuse to do anything meaningful about it, but it gets angry at anyone who does.
As June comes to an end, we witness a bizarre shift in American culture from the month-long, cult-like celebration of “pride” to a single day dedicated to patriotism.
Younger generations are not as patriotic as our parents and grandparents. Recent polls reveal that the percentage of Americans who are proud of their country has declined over the last several decades. Sadly, the fault does not lie with our children, but rather with their education.
The original Indiana Jones films were a thrilling escape into an imaginative world where an academic — an archaeologist — was as captivating and charismatic as any muscle-clad '80s action hero. Director Steven Spielberg crafted the franchise as a tribute to the pulp serials of the early 20th century, imbuing the films with a sense of exploration, adventure, and excitement.
Those who support the indoctrination of small children on gender and those who oppose it are noticing that women wearing hijabs are becoming prominent among protesters.
We date the beginning of our nation not from the first shots fired against the kingdom of Great Britain in Lexington and Concord in 1775 but from 1776, when delegates, elected by popular vote, issued the Declaration of Independence. In doing so, the United States of America recognizes that our legitimacy comes not from brute force but from the consent of the governed.
