The movie, Young Washington, portrays the young life of the first president of the United States of America, against the background of the French and Indian War. It has many inspiring scenes, and I highly recommend it. A great addition to any #movie library, I look forward to owning it. youtube.com/watch?v=LJek-k… #Video

I found that I get more engagement through replying to posts, than posting original content. Now X.com has made it very frustrating for me to reply to posts. I almost regret taking the time to create that poem about the SpaceX company and stock launch. Elon!?!?

George Washington’s farewell address in 1796 included – Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion… Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord (Psalm 33:12). Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom (2 Cor 3:17).

Grateful! Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Our Freedom we cannot take for granted!

Great message, thanks for sharing Tony! Big love and respect to you and Sage and your team. George Washington’s farewell address in 1796 included – Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion… Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.

When you look at the long sweep of human history, America is still young! 250 and still growing, still becoming. 🇺🇸 As we celebrate this milestone today, I reflect in deep gratitude on the magnitude of what this country has built, overcome, and accomplished in such a short time. Everyday people doing extraordinary things. That’s America to me. People from every background, EVERY struggle, every corner of this earth. Facing hardship, injustice and challenge, refusing to let it be the end of the story. Generation after generation after generation... Bruce Springsteen once painted a picture of our country as a land of hope and dreams. A train with room for everyone. All of us together, moving forward. We're certainly not perfect, and what I admire most is our courage to keep going, to face the challenges, and come back stronger every time. WE BELIEVE, even when it's tough, that liberty and justice for ALL is worth fighting for. The grit. The moxie. The unshakeable love of FREEDOM. That is truly our American spirit. ✨ Happy 250th, may God bless you and God bless the UNITED States of America. 🇺🇸

@BearGrylls Yes! You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free... If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed (Jn 8:32 & 36). - Jesus

I don't have it all figured out. I never have. Following Christ was never about having it all figured out. It has always been about keeping the faith even when the situation doesn't warrant one.

@danawhite Big respect to you!

Happy 4th of July!!!!!!!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸

Happy Independence Day! There’s a story from the end of the Revolutionary War I want to tell as we celebrate America’s 250th Birthday, and it’s one everyone in the world can learn from. George Washington, at that moment, after commanding the American forces to victory, was the most powerful man in the new country. Many people talked about making him King of America. Across the ocean, King George was sitting with an American painter, and asked what he thought Washington would do now that the war was ending. The painter said he believed he would go back to his farm. The King said, “If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world.” As the war officially ended, Washington came to speak to Congress and said, “Having now finished the work assigned me, I retire from the great theater of Action.” He returned his commission they’d given him in 1775 - after more than 8 years of leading the Americans to victory without pay, and he was home at Mount Vernon for Christmas. Of course, he was elected as our first President a few years later, and after two terms, showed the same selflessness again when he willingly gave up his power and went back to Mount Vernon again. That’s true greatness. He had all the power in the world. But power, alone, does not make you great. Washington’s greatness came from being a true servant - to a cause much bigger than himself. His greatness was his complete lack of selfishness. The whole story of American Independence is a story of selflessness. It’s a story of people who set their self-interest aside and worked for each other. We’ve all heard the line about “We must all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.” Apparently, Ben Franklin might have actually never said that. But that’s fine, because the same mentality is right there in the last line of the Declaration of Independence, published on this day 250 years ago: “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.” We mutually pledge to each other. No one was in this alone. No one was in it for themselves. This was a group of people with different backgrounds who were in it for each other. Today is a reminder: greatness comes from what we do for each other, never what we do for ourselves. That’s a lesson that applies no matter what country you call home. It’s a lesson that doesn’t require any law passed by a politician, because, let’s be honest, if you’re waiting for selfless politicians, I really hope you are not holding your breath. All of us have the power to be there for the people around us. For our families and friends. For our neighbors. For everyone. All of us can reach for greatness. It’s as simple as looking beyond yourself, seeing past the mirror, picking your eyes up from your phone, and pledging to be there for each other. Happy Fourth. May you all find your own version of greatness today by lifting each other up. Lift up your neighborhood. Lift up America. Lift up the World.

@RobertGreene And to you also. Big respect.

Wishing everyone a Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸

@USArmy Outstanding! Thanks for sharing. God bless America, especially our leaders, first responders, and military.

250 years of freedom, defended every day by our Soldiers. Watch the Golden Knights perform a rare parachute demonstration by the Washington Monument. Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸💥 🎥 Staff Sgt. Daniel Gerlach and Staff Sgt. Clay Stevens

@greglaurie Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom (2 Cor 3:17). And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free (Jn 8:32). Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord (Psalm 33:12).

America. More than a nation. An idea. A place founded on the revolutionary truth that our rights don’t come from government—they come from God. People crossed oceans for that dream. Soldiers died to defend it. Generations sacrificed to preserve it. America has been a force for freedom, a refuge for the oppressed, and a light to the world. Today, let’s thank those who fought for our liberty—and above all, thank God, who has truly shed His grace on thee. Happy Birthday, America. May God continue to bless you. 🇺🇸

@AlexHormozi Yes. The land of opportunity, because of freedom, and freedom because of the brave.

Both my parents immigrated to America. They both learned the language, studied, and worked hard to give me a better life. They succeeded. When you see a someone insulting the US, remind them to try anywhere else. We live in the undefeated land of opportunity. Happy July 4th.
