Mike Rogers Statement on Abdul El-Sayed Victory

Michigan voters need to do their part to save the country from fringe extremists. This 250th year of our America's founding should not be known as when the Socialist/Communist/Radical revolution took over the nation.

Gay Cruise Denied Entry Into Turkey and Egypt

The Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady LGBTQ+ cruise sailed through the Mediterranean but was denied permission to dock at some locations.

Turkish authorities say the cruise was chartered by a group "known for behavior that does not align with the values and moral standards of our society..."

Passengers are mad that the countries didn't let them "be celebrated for who they are."

"We thought that it would be a great opportunity for those people in those countries to also experience what it's like outside of the rest of the world where people can be free and be celebrated for who they are," a Miami resident said.
That's awful.

It seems that the U.S. is not a dangerous, threatening place for LGBTQ+ people compared to other countries around the world.

It seems LGBTQ+ people haven't lost rights in the U.S. It seems like that's just another flat-out false narrative promoted by the dishonest media.

It seems like there's no place like home.

James Talarico and the 2nd Amendment

The Constitution is the enemy of the Democrats.

Democrats want the government to control the people. They object to the people being free.

The Pledge of Allegiance

Declaration of Independence - 250

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Happy 4th of July!



On July 3, 1776, John Adams wrote a prophetic letter to his wife Abigail. It foretold the significance of Independence Day.

He wrote:

"I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by Solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfire and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more."


The second president of the United States was right.

Two hundred and fifty years later, it is a day of celebration, a great anniversary.  

We should never take our hard-won freedom for granted. We experienced what it was like to have power-crazed officials impose useless, unscientifically-based restrictions on our freedoms supposedly to stop the COVID virus. We were told so many lies. We were fed propaganda to paralyze us with fear and limit our ability to freely live our lives. We were censored when we spoke the truth about the virus and objected to the oppression. We are still suffering the fallout of that horrible time. Much of the damage and all of the deaths resulting from the government's abuses cannot be undone.

It's great to be out of that government-imposed darkness. Once again, we have community celebrations, including parades, picnics, and fireworks, without our freedoms being curtailed.   It's a joy to celebrate our beloved country in freedom.

There is so much to celebrate on this Independence Day. Our country is returning to greatness. Of course, we must be vigilant when it comes to protecting our freedoms from being eroded by Democrat Socialists and Communists. We must uphold the values of our forebearers and reject the creep of Socialism and Communism being sold by those alleged Democrats.

I feel so, so blessed to be an American, to be a member of the "succeeding generations" that inherited independence. Our freedom is so precious. It is a great, great gift to be treasured.

Adams wrote to Abigail that he understood how high the price of liberty would be, but that didn't discourage him.

"You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not. - I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. - Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not."

I'm so grateful to all those who fought for my freedom -- the American patriots of two hundred and fifty years ago, throughout our history, and today.

I love my country.

I cherish my freedom.


Happy Fourth of July! Happy 250th Anniversary!

God Bless America.

Mamdani's 'Rent Freeze'

The Socialist/Communist Democrats are about making life miserable for all, taking away freedom and making the people subservient to the government.

Tiananmen Square - 37 Years Ago



Thirty-seven years ago in Beijing, hundreds and hundreds, perhaps thousands, died when the Chinese government used military force to halt pro-democracy demonstrations by the Chinese people.

I don't understand why Leftists want to embrace the ideology of this sort of oppressive regime.

All nations are not equal.

It's important to reflect on what happened in Tiananmen Square 37 years ago, what's happening in China and what's happening in our country today. The Democrat party has been taken over by radicals promoting Communism.

We must remain vigilant to prevent the erosion of our freedoms. We must refuse to allow the government to envelop the private sector and swallow it.

One of the lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic is that the Democrats are not about freedom. They're about government control over the individual. Their vision for our country is aimed at destroying liberty.

Why are so many of us willing to give up our freedoms?

Why are we willing to give more power to the government?

Why are we willing to relinquish personal control and let the government determine the course of our lives?

Why are we willing to allow a bloated bureaucracy to put limits on our dreams?

When Biden was installed in the White House by the Democrat Cabal, we saw the dramatic weaponization of our governmental agencies and institutions. The abuse President Trump suffered at the hands of Biden and his regime should terrify all freedom-loving Americans. They were willing to degrade our judicial system to take out a political opponent. Without a doubt, they were, and still are, waging war against the American way of life.

We should be alarmed at the rabid anti-Semitism tolerated, even encouraged, on elite college campuses. We should be terrified that sectors of our society aren't toubled by the recent acts of terror against Jews. Again, it runs completely counter to the American ideal.

Some of the loudest Democrat/Marxist/Leftist/Anti-Semite voices weren't born when the Chinese people were silenced in Tiananmen Square in 1989. They are clueless.

We need to remember Tiananmen Square. It may be just as important for Americans as for the oppressed Chinese.

Are WE going to ignore the lessons of 37 years ago?

No surrender. Be the guy standing in front of the tanks.
