A foreigner refuses to stand for the national anthem. However some soldiers make sure respect was quickly enforced

On this day in 1777, the United States chose its flag in one sentence, and the men who voted on it had no idea what they had just done. The timing could not have been worse. The country was barely a year removed from declaring independence and it was losing. The British had taken New York. Washington's army was battered and short on everything. Congress was drowning in crises: no money, restless officers, a war that might collapse at any moment. Survival, not symbolism, was the daily business. Yet on June 14, 1777, in the middle of all that, the Marine Committee tucked a brief resolution into the day's work. The full text was almost absurdly simple. "Resolved, that the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white, that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation." That was the entire thing. No record of debate. No designer credited. The popular story that Betsy Ross sewed the first one is a charming legend that appeared a full century later, told by her grandson, with no solid evidence behind it. The resolution did not even specify how the stars should be arranged, which is why early American flags came in wild variety, stars in circles, rows, and scattered patterns, each maker improvising. These exhausted men, fighting for their lives, voting between a dozen other emergencies, accidentally created one of the most recognized symbols on the planet. That flag would go on to survive a civil war, fly through two world wars, get planted on the summit of Mount Everest, and be driven into the gray dust of the moon, where it still stands today. 249 years ago it was a single afterthought in the minutes of a desperate Congress. That sentence is why we celebrate Flag Day. Happy Flag Day.

🚨🇺🇸 HAPPY FLAG DAY! Johnny Cash captured the soul of America like no one else in “Ragged Old Flag”: “She's getting thread bare, and she's wearin thin, But she's in good shape, for the shape she's in.” That ragged old flag still flies. We are mighty proud of her. 🇺🇸

Everyone knows John Hancock for his giant signature. Almost nobody knows the actual man, and his real life was wilder than the legend. He was an orphan. His father died when he was 7, and he was taken in by his uncle Thomas, the richest merchant in Boston. John was groomed to run the family shipping empire, inherited the whole thing in 1764, and became one of the wealthiest men in all of America before most people his age owned anything at all. He was also, by the crown's definition, a criminal. In 1768 the British seized his ship Liberty for smuggling, and Boston rioted in his defense. The man we now put on patriotic posters was, to London, a wealthy smuggler dodging customs. He didn't just resent the crown quietly. He bankrolled resistance and became such a thorn that the British wanted him gone. On the night of April 18, 1775, when Paul Revere made his famous ride, the warning was not vague. He rode to Lexington specifically to warn two men that the British were coming to arrest them: Samuel Adams and John Hancock. The opening night of the Revolutionary War was, in part, a manhunt for Hancock. Weeks later, General Gage offered a pardon to every rebel in Massachusetts who would lay down arms, with exactly two exceptions: Samuel Adams and John Hancock. Being left off that list was essentially a public death warrant. Here is the part nobody tells you. As president of the Continental Congress, Hancock actually wanted to be named commander of the army himself. He sat in the chair and watched as the Adams cousins instead rose to nominate George Washington. He was reportedly stung by it. Then he did the thing most people never manage. He swallowed his pride, signed Washington's commission, and spent the next eight years pouring his personal fortune into the war he could not lead. So when Hancock signed the Declaration of Independence first, big and bold across the top, it was not a cute flourish. He was already a hunted man with a price on his head, putting his name, his fortune, and his neck on the line before anyone else dared lift a pen. And that famous line about signing large "so King George can read it without his spectacles"? He almost certainly never said it. It is a myth stitched onto him generations later. The real story is better. He just signed first, as president, knowing exactly what it could cost him. The flamboyance was real, though. He lived in princely splendor in a granite mansion on Beacon Hill overlooking the harbor, with imported mahogany furniture and apricot trees shipped from Spain. In 1775 he married Dorothy Quincy, and the two became one of Massachusetts' first political celebrity couples, famous for endless lavish dinners that slowly drained his fortune. He went on to become the first Governor of Massachusetts, serving roughly eleven years, and died in office in 1793. His funeral was one of the grandest ever given to an American up to that point. Samuel Adams declared the day a state holiday. The orphaned smuggler with a target on his back had become the face of American defiance. That is why, 250 years later, we still say "put your John Hancock right here."

The White House in 2026 is full of: -Soldiers -Marines -Police & patriots The White House in 2024 was full of: -Groomers -Transgenders -Pedophiles The contrast is CLEAR. Nobody likes that gay garbage.

On June 13, 1777, a 19-year-old French teenager landed on a beach in South Carolina, uninvited, to fight in someone else's war. He would become one of the most important men in American history. The Marquis de Lafayette was one of the richest young aristocrats in France. He had a beautiful wife, a fortune, and zero reason to risk any of it. But he believed in the American cause so fiercely that when the French king forbade him from going, Lafayette bought his own ship and sailed anyway. He literally went AWOL from a life of luxury to bleed for a country that didn't exist yet. Congress was annoyed at first. Another foreign officer looking for a paycheck? Then Lafayette offered to serve for free and pay his own way. That got their attention. He met Washington and the two formed one of the great father-son bonds in American history. Washington had no biological children. Lafayette named his only son George Washington Lafayette. He took a bullet in the leg at Brandywine and kept rallying the retreat. He was instrumental at Yorktown, the battle that won the war. He went home a hero on two continents. A foreign teenager believed in America before America did. 249 years ago today.

The National Anthem at the White House was absolutely epic!!! 🇺🇸🔥 Wait for the flyover!!!!

Most people remember Tom Landry standing on the sidelines of Dallas Cowboys games. Few remember him sitting in the cockpit of a dying bomber over Europe. Before he became one of football's most famous coaches, Landry served as a B-17 pilot during World War II. Flying from England, he led missions deep into enemy territory where every flight carried the possibility of never returning home. Then came his 30th mission. High above Europe, German anti-aircraft fire found its target. Explosions ripped through the bomber. One engine failed. Then another. Then another. Then another. Suddenly, all four engines were gone. The massive B-17 was no longer flying. It was falling. Inside the aircraft were young airmen who knew exactly what that usually meant. D*ath. Panic could have spread through the crew. Landry never allowed it. Witnesses later recalled how calmly he fought to keep control of the powerless aircraft as it dropped toward the ground. With no engines and almost no options left, he guided the crippled bomber toward a field in France. Then came the impact. Steel scraped across the earth. The aircraft slammed into the ground. Against all odds, the crew survived. The young pilot had brought them home. Years later, America would know Tom Landry as the coach who built the Dallas Cowboys into a dynasty. Fans would admire his discipline, leadership, and calm under pressure. What many never realized was where those qualities were forged. Not on a football field. But inside a shattered bomber falling from the sky during World War II. Long before he coached champions, Tom Landry was already saving lives. Story based on historical records.

@JohnnyLCKai Man if I could master this move I would be a pro!

This is modern basketball..an obvious double dribble. The NBA wants you to appreciate this slop while calling players from past eras plumbers.

@HillaryClinton Ma’am, I was the Air Force Lt. Colonel who carried the nuclear football for your husband inside that “people’s house” you’re suddenly so precious about. I saw it all up close for two years. While Bill was getting blow jobs in the Oval Office from an intern and groping female Air Force enlisted crew on Air Force One, you and your staff treated the military with open disdain, like we were the help, not the men and women sworn to protect this nation. The disrespect for anything non-Clinton was palpable. You lecture about “respect for the institution” while your husband lost the nuclear codes and shrugged it off. And when you finally slinked out in 2001? You and your crew trashed the place—vandalism, theft, glue in drawers, obscene messages, stolen property, and filth left behind for the next administration. The GAO confirmed it. Classy exit from the “people’s house.” The White House belongs to the American people, not your grifting dynasty. They just elected a fighter who actually respects the military and the office. Keep ripping off poor kids in Haiti, selling your merch and clutching pearls. Sit down, bitch. The adults are back in charge.

@DCreyke @nevskiJMW @NBAMemes Yes I was kidding lol

@nevskiJMW @gman431 @NBAMemes I honestly can’t tell so he’s good at it lol

OG Anunoby with the greatest dribble move in NBA Finals history

"On second thought, I guess I do like to brag. 'Cause I'm mighty proud of that Ragged Old Flag." Happy Flag Day my fellow Americans 🇺🇸

@DCreyke @NBAMemes Hahaha we all could have went pro if we could master this move but alas, that’s why they get the big bucks

@NBAMemes I feel like being able to do that would open up my game a lot, but with the whole 2 steps stop when you dribble thing, I’ve been needlessly limiting my game💁‍♂️

@NBAMemes And none of the expert idiots called this?

@checkingthetemp @NFL_DovKleiman Because they are clueless fucking idiots

@NFL_DovKleiman Casuals saying Jalen can’t throw the deep ball 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
