The Still Hour – Saturday, July 4th Verses and Prayers
Treeper Prayers and Prayer Requests with Wonderful News!
As we celebrate our great nation’s 250th anniversary, let us all give thanks to the countless citizens who came before us, stood beside us, and behind us – whose perseverance, sacrifice, ingenuity, determination, and pioneering spirit that created and expanded our nation – as well as kept alive the principles upon which she was founded.
Let’s also offer a special, heart felt appreciation of all those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for her and all those that yet will, regardless of their job.
Lastly, may we thank and praise God whom through all things are possible and who has poured out His Holy Spirit upon our nation and her people, along with a bountiful plenty of love and blessings.
May God continue to bless our nation and her citizens that love her and Him. To 250 more wondrous years of liberty!!
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

The Game Plan
Sundance @TheLastRefuge2
“Trump will not find perfect solutions. He will find OPTIMAL solutions. We cannot ask for more.
Trump has stood by and watched Perfect murder Good for 8 years – maybe longer. He’s not gonna do it. He’s going to deliver the best outcome possible, and he’s not waiting for us to feel relaxed about it.
Best presidency ever! Just hang on. More winning is coming, but a lot of people are going to scream that it’s all over at EVERY turn.
The best way through this is to define viewpoints, not people, because people will shift as they change position and velocity in Trump gravity.
Bash the neocon, warmonger, and dopey globalist positions – not the people who are going to hold them one moment and come loose from them later.
Trump is Jupiter moving through the asteroid belt. He is going to pull people into his orbit.
A few will get slung off into space, but most will come along for the ride of their lives.
I am ON the Trump Train for good, even if I scream that I want off and can’t take it. In the end, I only want to scream “TOO MUCH WINNING!!!”
Unseen1 @unseen1_unseen
Here is the game plan that the forces against Trump will be using for the foreseeable future.
They will attempt to get you to make the perfect the enemy of the good.
Be it the freedom clowns and spending, the immigration hawks with H1B visas, the peace doves with timing, the cultural warriors with total bans of DEI/CRT, the neocons with war fighting, or the swamp dwellers with draining the swamp.
All of them will attempt to get you to believe on whatever issue is the issue of the day that it doesn’t go far enough or do enough. They will try to make you think that some sub issue of that issue is more important and should be handled first, that since the issue hasn’t been handled yet it won’t be, that we can’t do more than one thing, that so and so is a plant to stop the draining of the swamp, or that because it wasn’t 100% Trump lied. On every single issue, one or more groups will attempt this strategy.
You can’t allow them that power over you. If Trump secures the border and deports 2 million, don’t allow them to reduce that good by them saying well he didn’t deport 2.5 million, so he failed or lied.
You can’t allow them to use the perfect to void out the good in the coming months.
They will try. They already have with the CR and the H1b visa debates. It works, that is why they use it. You have to keep it in the front of your head on everything about to occur that half a loaf or hopefully in most cases 7/8ths a loaf is better than no loaf.
Do not allow them to gaslight you into thinking the good is the enemy of the perfect.
In the real world, most things are never perfect, but if we try real hard, we can get plenty of good accomplished in the coming 4 years.
Day 166 of the 2nd year of the 2nd term of this very stable genius. History is being made in the kingdoms of this world in the year of our Lord 2026, The 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence.
The purpose and goals of President Trump are plainly visible by his actions and consistent: He is for the benefit first of the common PEOPLE of this country, then of the PEOPLE in the rest of the world. It is validating, even to our battered conservative skepticism.
The methods of his leadership are amazing. I still don’t get HOW he does it, or HOW he is able to get so much momentum going, but every day the momentum is growing. Everyone and every organization has their eyes opened every day — just by watching him. Even those who hate him, are biased against him, and want to see him gone — cannot ignore him. He lives rent free in their head, and they come around to seeing the universal principles by which he is operating. He hammers actions based on truth from one direction, then another, and they cannot mount an organized opposition against him.
President Trump is transparent in his words and actions. He is consistent in what he says, what he does, and what he asks/demands of others. His promises are bold and he keeps them like no other president has. He continues to make massive, nearly overnight changes, not only in our country, but in the world. It is amazing that he is able to accomplish so much when there are so many snakes in the grass. This second term, he is weeding them out faster and choosing like-minded servants who multiply his effectiveness. No U.S. president has ever faced so much organized resistance and treason than President Trump
He has chosen to use his intellect and every skill he has to do what is right. He has tremendous faith that he can make a difference in this world. He has a confidence and courage such that he doesn’t care what others think, yet a humility to know he has to do it with the help of like minded people. Those people are the “common” people, and he ridicules those who think they are not common. He does not show humility before men, but his actions show humility before God.
He believes people are basically good. He believes that God is real. He believes that healthy people are happy people, and they need to be able to create wealth freely for their labor, and have the freedom to spend their money on what is good for them.
He believes the United States, with its Constitutional Republic, is the best environment in the world to enable and give opportunity for people to be happy and prosperous.
He believes that we can be a light for the world, but we must demand that the rest of the world respect us and our right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
He believes the enemy of our country are the stupid, greedy American people who have been selfishly taking advantage of this country; who betrayed the trust and obedience of its people; and who diverted the people’s wealth for their own selfish gain, at the expense of the principles of this country. He’s not going to allow that anymore. He is not afraid to call out our enemies.
He has cultivated and focused the family of MAGA. Identifying those people whose goodness, industriousness, trust, and obedience have been taken advantage of and abused. He has opened our eyes to this abuse, and to the rights of freedom and self determination that have been quietly stolen from us.
He has rekindled the same healthy distrust held by our founders of government and men with too much power. He has recultivated the desire to reclaim our freedoms and rights, and is empowering us with a hope and pathway to reclaim our spiritual and economic freedom.
He wants the US to be a light of hope on the hill for all people. He will negotiate win/win agreements with those nations and countries who respect us; who respect the principles and intent of our Constitution. If you do not respect us, however, we are not going to let you take advantage of our goodness, or share in our wealth at our expense. If you as a nation are treating your people badly, you are going to be treated less favorably by us, until you show that you value your people as much as we value ours. He believes that nations who treat their people well will also be good economic neighbors with us.
He is convincing those who are very wealthy (most of whom truly earned their money), that the best economic soil in which to build wealth is in a constitutional republic, which supports the ability of the common man to earn wealth in proportion to his efforts. The economic engine of the United States is the human spirit freed to enjoy the fruits of honest labor, and that engine has more natural and raw horsepower than any other governed economy.
The Trump Train seems to be remarkably aligned with universal principles of Truth, which reflect the will and design of our Creator, and are the best standard by which we should live. These same principles were what our country’s founders used to declare independence, and framed into the Constitution of this nation.
Our founders believed that a nation should preserve the right and freedom of an individual to seek, understand, and live by God’s principles. They believed that free individuals working together in humility would make a stronger nation than a government which dictates its will on the people. President Trump professes and seeks to lead and restore this nation back to these same principles.
These principles resonate deeply within all human beings, down to our DNA in every cell, in our spirits, and produce fruit that “miraculously” multiplies. Because we follow universal principles, we see the snowballing acceleration of momentum. Lord please bring your power and might in the daily working of this sacred Nation you gave us.
Last one…Heat wave breaks tomorrow:
It was so hot in New York today…
Bill Clinton stood next to Hillary just for the chill 🙂
Dayum WM – that’s cold!
She visited Mami-dami too. They had to put winter clothing in the midst of the heat wave as a result…
Mr. Mamdani, If America is truly “an arena of supremacy” that persecutes its people, why did you come here from Uganda instead of staying in India or building your vision where you were born?
America is like our child. As parents and citizens who chose her, we have a sacred duty to criticize her quietly when she falls short—so we can help her grow stronger and wiser.
But we also have a duty to publicly praise her, celebrate her, defend her, and stand with her—especially on her 250th birthday.
You don’t trash your own kid to the whole world on her big day. That’s not love. That’s not leadership. That’s ingratitude.
I was rescued by this country as a small child. She gave my family freedom, opportunity, and a chance to thrive when we had nothing. I owe her everything. And with that gratitude comes the obligation to serve her, protect her, and make her better every single day—not tear her down in public on the day we celebrate everything she has given the world.
Happy 250th Birthday, America. I will always choose to lift you up. God bless the United States of America

The above was in reply to this:
Socialist Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, just gave a speech on what he thinks it means to be an American on America’s 250th Birthday. He attacked our nation as “an arena of supremacy” that “persecutes” and claimed ICE is “invading our streets”.
https://nitter.poast.org/america/status/2073090764892979260#m
Mr Mamdani-get the F out of America
And a comment:
Go pound sand you communist pig excrement. You have zero idea what it means to be an American. Go back to Uganda.
Mamdani represents an ignorance and hate that America should never have allowed to set foot in the country.
All peoples are not equal.
Wonderful sentiment!
Too bad he can’t be de naturalized and deported!
This wins the prize for the whole year!!
Happy 250th Birthday America!
God Bless America!
Irving Berlin
For much of his career, Berlin could not read sheet music, and was such a limited piano player that he could only play in the key of F-sharp; he used his custom piano equipped with a transposing lever when he needed to play in keys other than F-sharp.
He was known for writing music and lyrics in the American vernacular: uncomplicated, simple and direct, with his stated aim being to “reach the heart of the average American”, whom he saw as the “real soul of the country”

What Path will the United States of America take in the Future?
250 years ago, the Declaration of Independence brought an end to British colonialism. The Constitution, framed above a half century later, is addressed to “We the People of the United States”. There has been debate ever since about who these people are and whether this constitutional republic is on the right track. For patriots, citizenship and to achieve success through hard work (America Dream) is what matters. It’s no surprise that many aliens want to enjoy our benefits, but why do they expect the failed policies of their home countries to succeed here?
Many people don’t want to remember that Bill Clinton in his State of the Union [1], in his EO 12,989 [2] and in signing “Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996” into law, he
In his first term, President Trump’s immigration reform actions where legally challenged immediately, Biden’s reversals not. House impeached DHS Sec. Mayorkas, because he “willfully and systematically refused to comply with Federal immigration laws” and “breached the public trust” due to perjury [R’s Buck (CO-04), Gallager (WI-08), and McClintock (CA-05) dissenting]. Senate’s decision to rule out the case due to lack of high crime or misdemeanor didn’t lead neither to a response of Senate parliamentarian McDonough nor litigation.
Before President Trump ran for office, he could count on his decisions being implemented quickly and in accordance with his views. Although POTUS is considered the most powerful man in the world, in practice it is impossible for him to implement the policies chosen by “We the People”:
Only time will tell what the future holds: Long live the United States of America!

The enemy is in the gates as they say.
You hit the bull’s eye:
Really interesting how the Democrats have shifted leftwards and even the establishment types like Pritzker are throwing their weight behind socialism (communism) and Mamdani . I personally really love socialist ideology at the level of my family (who doesn’t?) and maybe there are historical examples of it working in a village or a tribe but the idea that you could trust the state apparatus to manage something like that without being corrupted in this era of humanity is just dumb. I get that for some people it’s well intentioned but really it gives the powerful elite class like the people who are untouchable when it comes to Epstein links prosecution that much more leeway to “redistribute” the wealth of the American people into their pockets. Not redistribute their wealth into the American people’s pockets. And along the way they take away our freedoms and civil liberties. Facing it honestly, humanity at the level of political power just simply isn’t mature or moral enough to handle something like this. Maybe in heaven or if those with power morally/spiritually evolve 1000 years into the future. Right now we’re working on holding them accountable for pedophila, censorship, covid totalitarianism, medical and financial corruption, war for profit, and generally demonic behavior. And the conclusion of many people now is: “hey, you know what would help? Giving them the power of a communist state, jacking up taxes, more government centralization, and failed european migration policy that’s brought the UK to the point of collapse.” I love our country and I love the American people and I appreciate efforts by this administration to fight corruption and drain the swamp. Let’s keep it going.
Socialism is a Lie. It always has been and always will be a Lie.
There is NO paradise where everybody is cared for. Not in this world.
Just hell where you are enslaved and your slave masters take all.
To believe the Lie is to be duped. To enslave yourself to your slave master.
But not all Socialists believe in paradise. Many believe in inflicting misery. These are the Liars. Their goal is to be your slave master. To take for themselves all that you make. And to make you miserable. They thrive on power. Power over you.
Sorry, but the Lie contradicts human nature. It is NOT possible.
If you think about it, the Lie is sold with jealousy and envy. And the duped are inflamed with wrath.
What good can come from breaking God’s Commandments and giving yourself over to live the 7 deadly sins?
And the Liars strive to remove God from your life.
Bravo.
A thousand upvotes!
The only things free in socialism is your labor and money for the Socialist Leaders.
Socialist ideology in your family you love? Bah. Exactly how it seeds
You’re telling me me you’ll charge for services rendered to your wife and kids? And not think of your collective family unit? The whole point is this is something that is successfully practiced at small scale but fails spectacularly when expanded via the state.
Happy Independence Day
This History Channel by Will Brown
makes some good, and harsh videos.
Here is his latest (about 48 minutes):
Eyes Right…
I’m old enough to remember when the entire democrat party forgot to have one U.S flag at their national presidential convention, when they declared the star spangled banner a racist song, when they not only refused to stand but took a knee for that national anthem, when they spit in the faces of US soldiers returning home from war, when they proudly burned the America flag at every protest, and when they nominated for president whose agenda that he ran on spoke of fundamentally changing the US as founded, while his pastor unequivocally preached that God should damn America.
It’s been going on for more than 30 years. It’s just now reaching critical mass inside their party and they can no longer hide the hatred they have for the US as it was founded and for what it stands.
He left out traitors…
That reminded me of the black mother whose son was arrested for robbery complaining how was her son supposed get his money? It never occurred to her for him to work for it! When generations never work this is what we get!
In celebration of our 250th Anniversary, a local community performed a re-enactment of the Battle of the Bulges…

Happy birthday America
200 years ago today, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson entered their eternal rest after celebrating America’s Jubilee (50th birthday). I wonder what they think of Trump and his MAGA party working so hard to save this country on our 250th birthday! May God bless America , and may America return to blessing God – the covenant keeping God who set America apart for she desired to be a beacon upon a hill, full of light, faith & freedom!
Welcome to the holiday that all mentally-ill Commie sickos hate.
🇺🇸🇺🇸The Magic Kingdom had a great show tonight!🇺🇸🇺🇸
And Epcot too. Kinda shocked that Disney didn’t shy away from patriotic music that mentions God and Glory.
A show I’ll never see. Disney can get bent.
wow! Wow!! WOW!!! 👍🏻😁👍🏻
it’s always bigger and better in America,
and thank you Texas for proving it!🇺🇸
Happy Independence Day to all!

🚨Even Van Jones is calling out the madness:🚨
“That should not be illegal in this party. My god, you have to agree on 100% of 100% of the Berkeley California agenda to be a Democrat? It doesn’t make any sense.”
Jones went harder: “It just shows you how nutty things have gotten that someone who wants to stick up for Israel and doesn’t want an open border now has to be a Republican. That’s completely insane.”
Cont and video linked…
and he’ll still vote……..Democrat.
Van Jones has his own history with the Communist left, he helped get them to this point.
“Reagan warned us what Democrat leadership would look like”….
“A Time for Choosing”… a great speech that has aged well.One of the reasons why I voted for him.
Happy 250th America!Blessings for Sundance,Puddy,Menagerie,Stella and all treepers past and present.May the Good Lord watch over us all. Casco 🙂
P.S.-I recall in ’76 they had something called the “Freedom Train”? for the 200th anniversary (I can’t remember…it was so long ago).It was down in the “old port” in Portland.It had a lot of cool stuff like moon rocks from the Apollo 11 mission in ’69,etc…Kind of pricey at the time ($10?).
The left sure seem worried about the rumors concerning Maduro and voter fraud.

More like, that is when he started to plot how to hide the truth.
His front line of defense, rebellious embeds is failing.
So he prepares to discredit the truth.
Hunter Laptop denial revisited.
Seriously though, why do we keep this all hidden?
We go overboard in that regard. They go overboard in the other way.
Until the evidence is shown, the Truth loses to lies.
And the other side has no qualms in demonizing with lies only to turn around and declare the demon good and work together. Nor working with someone, only to turn around and demonize them with lies.
Just seeing a demonizer preparing a lie campaign isn’t proof of the truth. They lie all the time. About everything. It is their MO.
Release the Truth!.
Where are the cries of “conspiracy theorist“?

My mother still cries about it. Forty years later, she’ll be sitting at the table, and her eyes will fill, and she says the same words she’s said my whole life: “We had everything. We lost it all. And we couldn’t give you children anything.”
Mom, I have told you a thousand times — and I will tell you a thousand more. You gave me the greatest gift a parent can ever give a child. You gave me America. Nothing else matters. Nothing else even comes close.
Let me tell you what she means. In Iran, we did have everything. My father spent thirty years helping build a nation — its cities, its schools, its roads, its hospitals. We belonged to a Jewish community that had lived on Persian soil for 2,700 years. We had a home, a history, a name that meant something. And then, almost overnight, we had a target on our backs. Bullets cracked over our roof. Cars burned in our street. My father became a hunted man for two unforgivable crimes: he had served his country, and he was a Jew. So he did the only thing a father can do. He sold everything we owned for whatever he could get, gathered his wife, his mother, and his four little boys, and he ran. Thirty years of a man’s life’s work — surrendered at the door, in exchange for our lives.
We were the lucky ones. That community was once a hundred thousand souls. Most never got out with what we did. Some never got out at all. We carried away only what no regime could confiscate — our faith, our language, our poetry, and each other.
And after a few years finding our footing, we came here. To America. To the one country on earth that looked at a family fleeing a regime that hated it… and opened its arms anyway.
We arrived with empty hands. And that is the wound my mother has never let go of — that after all they’d had, they gave us nothing.
But Mom, you don’t understand what you gave me. You gave me a country where I could pray out loud without fear. Where I could speak my mind. Where a penniless refugee kid could become a physician, a scientist, an author — where the only ceiling was how hard I was willing to work.
You didn’t hand me an inheritance. You handed me something no fortune in Iran could ever have bought: the freedom to build a life without looking over my shoulder. That is a love only an exile understands. Not the calm, comfortable patriotism of someone born into safety — but the fierce, protective, almost desperate love of someone who has watched a homeland turn on its own people and knows, in his bones, how quickly it can all be taken away. And that is exactly why I will never stay silent. When you have watched a revolution promise heaven and deliver a prison — when you’ve seen radical Islamists and the intoxicating lies of socialism hollow out a great nation from the inside until it devours its own children — you do not take a single hour of American freedom for granted. And you carry one holy fear: watching it happen again. I did not flee that fire to sit quietly while anyone strikes the same match under the country that saved my family. You do not escape the thing that destroyed your first home only to welcome it into your second.
I love America too much — and I remember far too much — to let that happen without a fight. So I spend my life trying to be worthy of the gift. Through medicine. Through science. Through my words. By defending the freedoms that saved us — free speech, free thought, the God-given right to choose — with everything I have.
This country once invested in me with no expectation of return, only trust. I have been repaying that trust every day since, and I will until my last breath. So this is my answer, Mom. You did not send me into the world with empty hands. You placed in them the freest, most generous, most extraordinary nation in the history of mankind. You gave me America. And I will spend the rest of my life proving it was more than enough.
Happy 250th Birthday.
God bless the United States of America.

Takes my breath away; thank you for posting. I lived there from ’68-’75, and left on 7-4-75. To this day I vividly remember climbing the mobile airline steps to board the Iran Air flight to London and eventually back to Cali to begin college. I’ve never returned and never shall. My dad was one of those builders Afshine describes.
There was a wonderful Iranian family
that attended our church.
The father taught at the local community college.
Thank you so much for posting this.
Houman David Hemmati, MD, PhD
On America’s 250th birthday, I want to speak from the heart about what this country truly means to me — and why I owe it everything.
I was just three years old when my family and our entire community were rescued from the Islamic Revolution in Iran. We arrived with nothing but hope, a deep belief in democratic values, and an unshakable love for the United States and its eternal flame of freedom.
Even though we came from a nation that had become hostile to America, this country opened its arms wide and welcomed us anyway. We didn’t speak the language.
My family struggled at first. There were no handouts. But America gave us something far more powerful: the tools, the freedom, and the opportunity to not just survive — but to thrive.
We became Americans immediately, fully and completely.
And we have loved this country more fiercely than anything in this world ever since. In high school I was physically weak and terrified of public speaking. I joined the U.S. Air Force Civil Air Patrol cadet program. It built my strength — but more importantly, it gave me a voice and taught me how to lead. (And yes… as you can probably tell, I no longer have any fear of public speaking )
Later, the U.S. government awarded me a scholarship worth nearly half a million dollars to cover medical school and graduate school — with zero expectation that it would ever be repaid. That gift came with no strings attached, only trust.
Because of it, I have carried a profound sense of duty ever since. Today I try to repay that debt every single day — through my work as a physician and scientist, through my words, and through my actions.
I stand up for our freedoms, I fight against socialism and radical Islam, and I defend free speech and freedom of choice with everything I have.
And yes… I’m also paying an absurd amount in taxes every year too
I don’t take any of this for granted. I owe this country everything. We all do.
And with that gratitude comes a sacred obligation: to serve it, to protect it, to make it better, and to cherish it with everything we have.
Happy 250th Birthday, America. Here’s to 250 more incredible years… and then another 250,000 after that.
This year I’m in Washington, D.C. celebrating in person with all of you.
God bless the United States of America

Hello all Treeper’s! As someone that has lurked for decades now and learned from all of you as well as Sundance I wanted to share this from Fish back in the day. It was never lost on me at that time and still not lost on me today. “I Hear A Little Scream Inside”
Happy 250th Birthday America! May you live for all time as the greatest nation on earth, and may your people prosper with safety, harmony, peace, and God’s blessings. 🎆🇺🇸♥️🎂🎇✝️
What a JOKE!
Only 13 out of 212 House Democrats signed this:
@EYakoby
Jun 26
BREAKING: Democrat members of Congress are forming a coalition to combat the far-left.
“We are capitalist, not socialist.”
“We want safety, not lawlessness.”
“We are responsible, not reckless.”
“Government should solve problems, not create them.”
“We are mainstream, not extreme.”
“We are proud, not ashamed of America.”
https://nitter.poast.org/EYakoby/status/2070640932026769603#m
That took immense courage.
For 13 to stand against nearly 200 who either didn’t have the courage, didn’t reach for it or just didn’t believe.
My guess is they represent predominantly red districts or states. It’s called self preservation.
Suozzi is my Rep. He is a liar. He walks around pretending he’s a moderate, but when you look at his voting record you see that he votes with the lunatics every time. This is all just posturing. It’s just another big lie.
Suozzi routinely refers to MAGA as “far right,” even though half of his district is MAGA. Don’t fall for this, this is just another democrat lie. These people are as much the enemies of the United States as are all the other communists.
Is this the YEAR this COUNTRY gets straightened up, and the corrupt people and communists are shown the door back to their 3rd world countries?
I hope so, it is like a revivial event, where we pray and return to doing the stuff that MADE AMERICA GREAT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
And if you REALLY get it, YOU get in communion with GOD ALMIGHTY who is OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN. Up to YOU. Do you want to live alone in your HEART and SOUL, or do you want to HANG OUT with an AWESOME GOD that LOVES YOU and has a GREAT FUTURE FOR YOU. Your choice. But remember GOD KNOWS what is right for you, and going alone on this earth, in your EGO mind … doesn’t have the GREAT PLAN … only GOD has that, and GOD ALMIGHTY rocks! It is called a “PERSONAL” relationship with GOD ALMIGHTY. 😉
EGO means “EASING GOD OUT”!
There is a HOLE in your GUT, that you as an EGO can NOT fill! And you tried, and you tried and you tried, and you can’t get NO SATISFACTION from using your EGO to run your life. You tried hard, but it will always fail, in the END. And subconsciously YOU KNOW THAT. right?
A July 4th ‘Superman’ Touts the ‘Better Parts’ of US
Five for Fighting’s John Ondrasik is a natural choice to headline the marquee maritime celebration of America’s 250th birthday aboard the U.S.S. Nimitz in New York Harbor this 4th of July. Nearly a quarter century ago, the Grammy-nominated platinum artist performed alongside other big-name singers at Madison Square Garden a few weeks after the Sept. 11 attacks.
His song “Superman” had just gone viral as a tribute to firemen and other first responders, many of whom lost their lives trying to save others after the twin towers fell. With its lyrics, “It’s not easy to be me,” Ondrasik’s newly-released hit had transformed into an accidental anthem of healing for a grieving nation.
Ondrasik’s love of country was always there, but his special relationships with and deep appreciation for U.S. troops and first responders began decades ago during the first Iraq war, when soldiers started sending him emails from overseas.
“I found out very quickly that our soldiers, they use music a lot for their mental well-being. They may use the same song for different things – to escape, to pump themselves up, to think of home,” he told RealClearPolitics. “So, I saw very quickly how important music was to our fighters.”
Ondrasik volunteered to play for USO concerts for troops overseas, where he met actor Gary Sinise and teamed up to support his foundation dedicated to serving and honoring America’s defenders, veterans, first responders, and their families.

The true power in the Senate and House are the staffers. https://truthsocial.com/@CorneliaDiNunzio/116859843945368813
Good luck on trying to get people to understand that.
I have been pointing it out for years. It is not the politician. It is the staff that never changes that runs things.
Greetings and Happy 250th Treepers!
🤜🇺🇸✝️🇺🇸🤛
Saturday…In the park…I think it was the Fourth of July…
🇺🇸 Happy Birthday, America 🇺🇸
That mountain looks really tall compared to the movie North By Northwest. Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint were climbing all over that.
She is still alive too. 102 years old.
Haha – I kept remembering those scenes as I watched last night. I watch that movie every time its on TCM – one of the greats!
Looks like there’s room for one more head carving! President Trump should be there! President Trump is one for the ages! He has literally changed the entire world for the better politically, economically and militarily! Godspeed President Trump!!!
Yes, but I read these comments here last night.
I agree with Fionna 😁
If anyone visits Rushmore, make sure to hit the Crazy Horse Memorial. It affected me as deeply for different reasons, possibly the paradox of rise and fall. To deep to utter.
A comment from a DM article:
Happy Birthday, America!
While many concerned citizens are worried about socialists taking over their cities and redistributing the fruits of their labor, we need to sit back, crack some American lager and be grateful we live in a place where instead of throwing people off of buildings, wacky lovebirds can scale them to get engaged.
It’s a wild time in history, but as long as we’re talking about our feelings, partying with our neighbors and moving forward with new ideas, I think the next 250 will be just fine.
morning Treepers…………………..be well
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA
Morning to all. Happy 250th birthday America. You don’t look a day over 200.
The rocks reminded me of Fort McHenry.
The dead bodies of Americans piled against the flagpole to keep it standing.
Wow! Thank you.
Fantastic!
Happy 4th of July 💥 🇺🇸 🎉 🇺🇸
Under the US Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, solar and wind energy powerconstructions were offered a 30% Investment Tax Credit or an electricity generation output-based Production Tax Credit, with a phase-out of the credits beginning in 2032.
On 7/7/25, President Trump signed EO 14,315 Ending Market Distorting Subsidies for Unreliable, Foreign‑Controlled Energy Sources – The White House
One year ago today, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB), which includes Working Families Tax Cuts | U.S. Department of the Treasury. Under this law, business tax credits for wind and solar constructions must either begin today or be completed by the end of next year. Before these cuts, the Congressional Budget Office projected in 1/25 that the federal budget deficits would increase by $308B until ’35.

The vote for Independence wasn’t a strong one. In fact, by this clip it was born on weakness. However, Wilson was wise. Take as an example McConnell. How will he be remembered?
Mc…..who? 🙂
As a compromised to China individual who was sneaky and stayed waaaay past his due date.
I’d like to know – as he was found unconscious and CRP was required to revive him – how long his brain was deprived of O2??!! How long was out until EMTs arrived??? What’s his status??? Nothing coming out of his office is credible.
as “China Mitch”.
Forever, p.o.s. and Senator from Kentucky.
Happy 250th Birthday America. I can think of no greater opportunity today than to give thanks for all the goodness that our Founders provided to create a free America. They fought a war, gave us brilliant documents to establish our values, provided selfless leadership and direction. Well done indeed. Having been in East Germany just after the wall came down was a stark awakening of a completely different government system. Seeing today’s democrat party only provides urgency to return to the initial values and beliefs of our Founders. Let us all celebrate what we have here in America. Gid Bless
God Bless!
Com Ed, not to be confused with Con Ed…did the same…asked their customers to NOT charge their EV’s. A few of those towns mentioned in the following article, I remember from childhood…Forest Hills and Woodside…

What’s the temp at Swiftie Taylor’s wedding?
I always play this song on the 4th…when it`s hot and humid…….reminds me of my southern roots………….
stay cool today…enjoy your freedom.
Follow up with “Free Bird”, a shot of something then like someone born to be wild, fire all your guns at once.
Great, atmospheric song.
Happy 4th to my friends and Family in the U S A.
Trump declares war to preserve Inpedendence – the war is now within.
He even draws the line of evil back to 1776 – he is taking on the City of London and their BANKERS once again.
6:15 mark of this video : Send them into exile
Happy Independence Day, America and fellow Treepers!
Its a glorious day. What a day. And what a GOD.
“Blessed is the nation whose GOD is the LORD; and the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.” (Ps. 33:12)
Long live our God given Republic! Godspeed President Trump and Sundance! Have a blessed July 4th!
Happy 250th Birthday America!
You are the last bastion of hope for Western Civilization.
As a 70 year old Englishman, I know that my scepter’d isle would be part of Northern Germany if not for you.
I moved to Canada 30 years ago to escape Blair’s Britain. Back then Canada had the wealthiest middle class on the planet. I did not understand then that
a) without America there would be no burgeoning Middle Class after WWII, and
b) Canada’s was built on exploiting America.
I do now.
You have been under constant attack by the ancient feudal system that you chose to escape and stand up to.
Imagine the ire of Mayer Amschel Rothschild and his progeny when, having just completed their plan for unending world control, a breathless messenger galloped up with news of the Declaration of Independence.
Take heed from the Islamic conquest of the EU, UK and Canada. Observe that Minneapolis, NYC, Dearborn, Hamtramck, DFW (coming soon) etc. are fallen.
Hold the line!
As a child of the 1950s I often wonder if I have lived through the peak of Western civilization. Please prove me wrong for the coming generations.
Thank you!
a well written and worthy read. Thank you
Thank you FB, wish more in our own country had your understanding.
Islam is being ignored here, by too many, not taking heed.
Like a quiet terminal cancer.
We pray all take heed, and remain especially grateful for everything God has given us all.

“We must all hang together, or we shall surely hang separately.”
That clever quip was utterly realistic. They were defying the greatest military superpower of their day. One that would fight them to the brink of defeat. There was zero assurance that anything would come of it. Except death and destruction.
But they did it anyway – John Hancock signing his name front-and-center “large enough that King George II could read it without his spectacles.” It was a death sentence if they were caught. And some of the signers DID lose everything.
So, this 250th 4th, don’t romanticize what they did. It was an act of defiance, but also of desperation. There WAS a price to be paid, and many of them did pay it.
Remember also that, after being defeated once, the British tried again in 1812!
Freedom here is now your birthright – “if you can keep it.” But it was won, and then preserved, at terrible price. And, as Reagan observed, it isn’t actually a thing that you inherit. Every generation must make it again.
well said
This should be taught in every American classroom. The signers paid a very high price.

I wonder if there will be neat World Cup European visitor videos of them seeing July 4th firework shows.
Would rather see Americans enjoying our traditions and celebrations. Nice to see visitors but its the family that should come first.
