Do you remember 1976, fellow old folks? I do. Ι was fourteen years old, and living in Washington, D.C., and spent the summer exploring the Air and Space museum and other attractions of the nation’s capital, as well as the big bicentennial celebrations on the National Mall, where every state had a booth showing off the marvels that, each claimed, were best enjoyed within its own peerless and paradisal confines. The one I remember most was Mississippi’s, which was offering samples of fried catfish — not, indeed, a delicacy with which most Beltway denizens had any familiarity.

FTA: "Fox News reported Wednesday that “the city of Columbus, Ohio, home to one of the largest Somali populations in the United States, is facing backlash on social media over a post celebrating the raising of the Somali flag.” As well it should. The Columbus Rec & Parks department posted on X: “Happy Somali Independence Day! As we celebrate the unification of the Trust Territory of Somaliland and the State of Somaliland into the Somali Republic in 1960, City Hall will be raising the flag of Somalia.” "

1976 ... I was working in downtown St. Louis and participated in a street party in the streets surrounding the Old Post Office. Hundreds, or maybe even thousands, of people celebrating the birthday of our country. I was 31 years old. Today I am 81 years old and wonder how much longer our country can stand. As Mr. Kruschev said, it will die from the inside and is well on its way. Lack of education and 20 million illegals can be hard to overcome. Add millions of foreign anchor babies, rising communism/socialism, unsecure elections and the future is not bright.

I would walk in front of city hall with the American flag I would ask my fellow patriots to join me. I truly believe the person who thought this idea was a good one, and the people who ok'd this flag flying, should be deported to somalia. supporting this flag is a slap in the face to taxpayers who have to pay for all the fraud these people commit.

Sports coaches in my small South Louisiana Parish, were asked what their plans were for the 4th. Almost all gave typically all-American answers. Swimming, Bar-B-Q, etc. A hyphenated female basketball coach, however, was not planning much, because her family had just celebrated an important holiday, Juneteenth.

I remember in 1976 EVERY state had a booth on the National Mall where they displayed that of which they were proud. What a shame several states refused to replicate the 1976 state booth presentations simply because they wanted to show hatred for the President more than love for the country.

Las Vegas cops busted a transgender gunman who allegedly planned a casino massacre using a huge cache of weapons. Allison Howlett, 36, who was born a man but lives as a woman, was arrested Saturday on charges of making terroristic threats, assault with a deadly weapon, auto theft, gun theft and other offenses. The wild story unfolded shortly after 9:30 a.m. Saturday when Howlett’s former spouse, who is female, called police to report Howlett had stolen her car and the vehicle held numerous firearms, Henderson Police Chief Reggie Rader said. The former spouse said Howlett intended to commit “suicide by cop” or carry out a mass shooting, Radar said.

An active-duty Air Force officer was arrested on the steps of the US Capitol on Wednesday while protesting Trump and calling for his impeachment in uniform. Jason Watson, a US Air Force Major who attended the US Air Force Academy, participated in a press conference sponsored by far-left lunatic Rep. Al Green (D-TX), where he called for his boss, the commander in chief, to be removed and convicted. According to the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Watson could face court-martial proceedings for contempt toward officials stemming from his participation in the event and his calls for Trump’s impeachment.

Former Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan is suing the Trump administration and demanding a court order to require officials to preserve records of the criminal investigations against him. Brennan served as CIA director under former President Barack Obama from 2013 to 2017. In a court filing reviewed by Fox News Digital, Brennan asks the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to issue preliminary injunctive relief to "protect his constitutional rights as the current target of two federal investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice." Attorneys for Brennan assert that the DOJ has launched its investigations "at the direct urging of President Trump" and that the investigations amount to

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has selected a new team to help shape policy for the Pentagon. The Department of War’s (DOW) new Defense Policy Board roster will be composed of former government officials, Silicon Valley investors, nuclear deterrence specialists, former lawmakers, economic security officials and conservative policy figures. Hegseth is adding the fresh appointees to the board as the Trump administration institutes sweeping reforms to the Pentagon and pivots towards the artificial intelligence (AI) arms race with China. The DOW board will be chaired by Robert Lighthizer, who was President Donald Trump’s U.S. trade representative during his first term, from 2017 to 2021. “Established in 1985, the Defense Policy Board is

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said he plans to help build a third political party, claiming the country’s leaders have stopped focusing on the needs of ordinary Americans. Speaking with the Columbia Journalism Review, Carlson said he believes there should be a “good-faith effort” to create a political movement centered on improving life for Americans rather than fighting over foreign conflicts. “I’m going to help build a third party. There should be a good-faith effort to figure out what benefits the country,” Carlson said. “I mean, if you make $60,000 a year, you’re degraded.

Pennsylvania state Rep. Chris Rabb, the Democrat nominee for Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District, denounced the Declaration of Independence, capitalism, billionaires, and what he called “American exceptionalism.” Rabb made the remarks during the “America at 250 — Trump Fascism, Historical Erasure, and the Battle Over Truth” panel, held June 26 at People’s Plaza on Independence Mall in Philadelphia. Rabb is running unopposed in Pennsylvania’s heavily Democrat 3rd Congressional District and is widely expected to win election to Congress in November. During the discussion, Rabb argued that the Declaration of Independence did not deliver freedom to everyone and instead helped preserve the power of a privileged class.

The psycho governor of Minnesota has called for more Somali pirates in Minnesota; 100,000 Somalis have settled in Minnesota over the past few years alone. Now, he is calling for all transgender (transvestites) people to go to Minnesota to play in women’s sports. This is his response to today’s Supreme Court decision which supports state bans on biological men playing in women’s sports. Minnesota is for Somalis and transgenders. That’s perfectly normal. He doesn’t care at all about girls and women who can’t compete against biological men. Walz only cares about biological men who think they are females or pretend they are females.

The June 14 call referenced medical personnel in an ALS, or Advanced Life Support, ambulance being sent to the home shortly before 9 a.m. and mentioned there was “CPR in progress” for a “cardiac arrest.” Punchbowl News first reported on the EMS radio traffic. Reps for the former Senate GOP leader did not comment on the communications.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at ports of entry in Texas have seized more than 9,000 pounds of methamphetamine with a street value of more than $80 million in just four incidents during the month of June. The thwarted cartel smuggling attempts occurred in Laredo, El Paso, and Pharr, Texas. In two interdictions on the Juneteenth holiday, officers seized more than $72.3 million in methamphetamine as smugglers attempted to push through two south Texas ports of entry. The larger of the two seizures occurred on June 19 at the World Trade Bridge in Laredo, when a CBP officer referred a 2011 Dodge Ram stake-bed truck purportedly hauling

Far-left House challenger Melat Kiros, a socialist who called both the Oct. 7 and Sept. 11 terror attacks "inevitable," unseated Rep. Diana DeGette, who has represented Denver for nearly 30 years. The result comes on the heels of Mayor Zohran Mamdani's socialist sweep in New York City's congressional primaries and shows that left-wing radicalism is not confined to the East Coast. Kiros led DeGette by nearly 10 points with 93 percent of the vote counted early Wednesday morning. Her victory comes a week after a slew of socialists, all backed by Mamdani, swept the primaries in the Big Apple. Like in New York, Kiros will almost certainly secure the House seat,

Amy Coney Barrett was supposed to be the payoff for conservatives. She was our gal, right? The “ghost” of Justice Scalia, haunting the hallowed halls of the Supreme Court as a brilliant originalist, a serious Catholic jurist, a mother of seven, and a Trump appointee who’d help lock down a 6-3 conservative Court and finally stop the left from using judges as a weapon. That was the sales pitch.But that’s not what happened. Now, years later, a whole slew of America First voters are wondering what the hell happened.

As a pragmatic and patriotic American I respectfully suggest and recommend the U.S. State Department immediately institute the “Roberts Requirement” following similar visa entry protocols previously used for COVID-19 tests prior to U.S. admittance. The Roberts Requirement: Each female visa applicant must present a valid negative pregnancy test taken no longer than 10 days prior to travel to the United States.

A 31-year-old Florida woman died after an alligator bit off one of her arms and mauled the other at a state park near Orlando, authorities and a 911 call revealed Monday. The victim had been hiking with her boyfriend and her best friend Sunday in Little Big Eco State Forest when they waded into the Econlockhatchee River to cool off, said Grant Eller, a lieutenant with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. They were kneeling in 3-foot-deep water when the alligator suddenly attacked around 1:30 p.m. and bit her arms, Eller said. The victim was later identified as Orlando resident Brittany Clark, wildlife officials said. During the attack,

After two Mamdani-backed, card-carrying members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) political party won their respective House primaries last Tuesday in New York, all eyes turned to Colorado's 1st Congressional District Democrat primary, which featured longtime incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette facing off against DSA member Melat Kiros. The primary was Tuesday night, and, with 78 percent reporting as of this writing, Decision Desk HQ has called it for Kiros in what may be the biggest primary upset for an incumbent Democrat House member this midterm election cycle. DeGette, 68, is Colorado's longest-serving member of Congress, having been in office since 1997 in a district drawn for Democrat victories.
