Victor Davis Hanson: This July 4th, Embrace American Exceptionalism

A year and two months after the first shots of the American Revolution were fired at the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the 13 American colonies declared independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776.   Whether ridding the continent of British influence following the Revolution, or coming to their aid during both World Wars, over 1 million soldiers have perished fighting to “protect the ideals of the American Revolution and the United States itself.”   “And on this July 4th, we need to give them their due. And remember what they did, who they were, and why they did it,” argues Victor Davis Hanson in this July 4 edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”

FLOODING IN TEXAS: At least 24 people dead; Dozens missing

Crews searched through the dark early Saturday for two dozen children from a girls camp and many others still missing after a wall of water rushed down a river in the Texas Hill Country during a powerful storm that killed at least 24 people. The death toll was certain to rise. AP reports, the destructive fast-moving waters along the Guadalupe River rose 26 feet (8 meters) in just 45 minutes before dawn Friday, washing away homes and vehicles. The danger was not over as more heavy rains were expected Saturday and flash flood warnings and flood watches remained in effect for parts of central Texas. Searchers used helicopters and drones to look for victims and rescue people stranded. The total number of missing was not known but one sheriff said about 24 of them were girls who had been attending Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp along the river. Frantic parents and families posted photos of missing loved ones and pleas for information. At a news conference late Friday, Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha said 24 people were confirmed dead. Authorities said about 240 people had been recued.

Young Americans are being sold a lie — one that promises fairness, justice, and a better future… but delivers the opposite. As housing becomes unaffordable, wages stagnate, and debt piles up, frustration grows. In this video, Patriot Nurse reveals how economic despair is being weaponized by socialists and Marxists to push a dangerous ideology that threatens the future of freedom in America. This isn’t just a housing crisis or a jobs crisis — it’s a currency crisis, a generational wealth crisis, and a warning sign. From multi-generational households to the collapse of land ownership, we are witnessing the perfect storm that historically precedes radical change.
