@r0ck3t23 Reagan said it in his 1967 debate with RFK at Oxford.

Elon Musk just said the one thing about America they made sure you’d never learn. The one thing that should’ve made you proud, not ashamed. Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?” One nation held a weapon no civilization had ever possessed. Total monopoly on destruction. No rival. No consequence. No limit. Every empire in history that held that kind of power did the only thing empires know how to do. They took until there was nothing left to take. America had a greater advantage than all of them combined. And rebuilt the nations it just defeated. Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.” Not almost unprecedented. It had never happened. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded civilization. The nation with the power to take everything chose to rebuild instead. Enemies became allies. Rubble became economies. Surrender became partnership. Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a single generation. Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth. Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin. Into the capital of the country that just tried to end the free world. That decision reshaped every economy, every alliance, and every trade route on the planet. Billions of people lifted out of poverty over the next half century trace back to one moment. One nation choosing restraint over domination. No other country in history can make that claim. Not one. Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.” Every nation on earth has blood in its history. But the measure of a nation was never its worst chapter. It’s what it does when nobody can stop it. When nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities. You’re being told every day that this country is something to be ashamed of. By people who have no idea what the world looks like without it. Every free market. Every open border for trade. Every democracy that took root outside Europe stands in the shadow of that single decision. The values that built this country didn’t just shape America. They shaped the modern world. AI is about to hand a small number of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look primitive. 1945 was the first test. AI is the last. That power is going to exist. The only question left is who holds it. The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb. It was having the power to take everything and choosing not to. The people trying hardest to tear that story down have never built a single thing worth defending.

Lots of survey results in recent days prompted by the 250th July 4 celebration and, based on typical media reporting, it’s easy to conclude Americans, especially those in younger age brackets, have lost faith in the nation’s founding principles. Well, I say hold on there because that’s not the whole story. washingtonstand.com/article/survey…

If you read Rod Martin's "The Christian View of 'Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness,'" it could change forever how you view this America of ours. Here's just a sample: "The Declaration of Independence is America’s statement of purpose, born in conviction and earned in blood. In its most famous passage, America’s founding document asserts that '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.' "The words are stirring. They have inspired millions. But even more fundamentally, they are Christian. Influenced by the Enlightenment? Yes. Harmonious with classical (as opposed to modern) liberalism? Mostly. But Christian. Indeed, the Declaration’s essential claims could not exist but for Christianity. "And that’s worth exploring. Because almost no one does explore it today. And because once you see it, you can’t unsee it: the freest, most successful civilization in human history would not and could not exist apart from its Christian intellectual foundation."

In 1982, Robin Williams did a routine as the American Flag for the Norman Lear produced tv special "I Love Liberty" created to bridge political divides - and it's one of the greatest pieces you'll see 🇺🇸

The editors of the world's most prestigious medical journals are sounding the alarm, and nobody is listening. "We have peer reviewed, high impact editors in most of the journals that are the most high impact, saying that they don't believe what is being published in those journals is trustworthy anymore." "The BMJ, The Lancet, all of those editors have come out and said, we have a huge problem. We can't replicate this research and we actually don't even know who did the research." "Everywhere we've looked for corruption, we've found it." Emily Kaplan, co-founder of the Broken Science Initiative. @broken_science

@Matt_Pinner It's not merely a matter of faith because the most logical conclusion, based on the scientific, logical and historical evidence, is that Jesus was literally resurrected.

Be honest!! Do you really believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose again on the third day? A. Yes B. No

Most downtown Seattle businesses are GONE because of leftist rule. Starbucks Old Navy The Loft And many more GONE. They left because of crime and homelessness & now most of downtown Seattle is VACANT. How SAD.

Wake up, Washington - Iran did not agree to anything by signing the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) except to continue stringing the U.S. along by speaking and acting out of both sides of their mouths while they are resupplied militarily by Russia and China, and they keep right on doing it as long as we continue to think their word about anything is trustworthy..
