Baptists in the American Revolution a🧵 1/17 On this 20th day of July, exactly 250 years ago, the Continental Congress proclaimed a day of fasting and prayer for the burgeoning Revolution, saying "...And that all America may soon behold a gracious interposition of Heaven, for the redress of her many grievances, the restoration of her invaded rights, a reconciliation with the parent state, on terms constitutional and honorable to both; And that her civil and religious priviledges may be secured to the latest posterity."

Gas WILL drop below $3 again, but only if Mike Pence has the courage!
🚨 PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST NOW: "If they had a vote on lower gas prices or letting Iran have a nuclear weapon, I'd be willing to vote that it would be a massive landslide. People don't want to have Iran have a nuclear weapon!" "And you know what? They won't. And the war is going to end soon. And when it ends, your gas prices are going to drop to a level that they were before, maybe even lower." 47 has been insistent that the war will be over right after the midterms He's predicting gas prices could drop well BELOW $3 DOLLARS Trump could make a decision on his final moves after meeting with Gulf leaders next week 👀

Sanctions on India? I love Lindsay Graham now!
Trump has signed the Lindsey Graham Russia sanctions bill, starting a 30-day deadline for discretionary tariffs of up to 100% on Russia’s biggest oil and gas buyers, including China and India. It also targets Russian banks, the shadow fleet, and foreign suppliers.

Why is a man from India who had no ancestors in America in the 19th century so obsessed with Confederates?
After the Confederates surrendered, went back home and agreed to follow the Constitution... Yes. But they were still traitors first. Only the magaminity of the North allowed that peace to occur over a period of decades.

Pour one out for James Lindsey and Joel Berry, because the next President of the United States actually believes America is a distinct people who have inherited this nation.
VP Vance in Iowa: "This is our heritage. This is what we own and deserve to own as citizens of the United States. Your grandparents and great-grandparents did not build up this land so that it could be bought and sold by somebody who never stepped foot on it."

Opening a culture war against Hindus only makes sense if you deny that we are in a fundamental civilizational clash with radical Islam.

They were eating the pets once but not anymore.
The Trump admin is escalating the deportation of Haitians. Since the end of Haitian TPS, removal flights to Haiti have increased to a weekly pace. The Ohio Immigrant Alliance found 'detention of Haitians has surged 142%' in a few jails, while arrests in Springfield happen daily.

When I go out in public and look at the menagerie of foreign people wandering around in public spaces, I sometimes blink and ask myself "Did we lose a war? Were we conquered by Latin American and Indian hordes?" It is insane. This isn't the country I was born in.

Claire knows something conservatives don’t: a nation is its people She has not lost her real identity because she touched the magic dirt She was born Mexican, fights for Mexico now, and will die Mexican A nation is its people
215 years ago, Mexicans fought an empire that demanded our land and our labor. And we won. I'll carry that fight with me to Congress as New York's first Mexican American representative. And I'm strengthened not just by Mexico's history but its present. Last month I met comrades in Morena who are standing up to the empires and corporations that have always taken from us – and building a government for the working class. ¡Viva la Independencia, Viva México!

I have people misrepresenting my beliefs and accusing me of “pagan nihilism” for being opposed to the mass importation of foreigners. Remind me, who’s putting up the statues of pagan demons? Is it the immigration skeptics or the Indian immigrants?
India is, quite literally, the largest pagan nation on the earth. Thus, it’s absolutely retarded to import a bunch of people from there into a country inspired by Christianity and predicated upon God-given rights.

“America had high immigration before!” sounds devastating until your prefrontal cortex kicks into gear. Sure. When half the continent was still being settled, the transcontinental railroad hadn’t been built, and America was scrambling to industrialize. It’s 2026. Stop arguing about good immigrants and bad immigrants. The second you do, you’ve already surrendered the first question: Why do we need more immigration at all? GDP? Corporate labor demand? Institutional inertia? Some performative moral obligation to the rest of the planet? None of those answers begins with the interests of the American people. Stop negotiating over who gets through the door before asking why the door needs to be open.
Actually, while it is true that the foreign-born share of the population hit a record high in 2025, it's actually not significantly higher than where we were for half a century between 1860 & 1910. Those immigrants & their children were Americans then, too.
