The framers built a tool to protect the Republic from serious abuses of public trust. A power much-broader than what virtually anyone teaches today. But Anti-Federalists like Patrick Henry warned that it was nothing more than a “sham.” The post IMPEACHMENT: The Truth They Never Teach About “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

So say the Founding Fathers of this great country in 1776, the Creator of all and all things endowed every human being so born with unalienable rights. Those rights, God-given, could not be changed or eliminated in any way by mankind. They were part of the DNA, the genetic inheritance of every man and woman at birth and through all of life. Those unalienable rights were the cornerstone of the new nation, that which made America the shining light on the hill, an example to all mankind and all nations, making America both different and better, a model of hope and understanding for all.LIFE. The Declaration of Independence prioritized life, that all should live life to the fullest. The Great Creator, God the Father, fully agreed. The Son of that Father was the epitome of that life. Even as the Founding Fathers were concerned with life here, and the natural laws which protected that life, then came a higher law, the highest moral law, in the person of Jesus Christ. He told us that whoever finds Him, finds life, real life, a life which no natural law can give. He told us that He was the Bread of Life, that partaking of the Bread and Blood would transform any human life and bring it to the next level.The Founding Fathers took their inspiration for life, at least to some extent, from Him. But the life promised by Jesus Christ was not only for here and now, but for eternity:ETERNAL LIFE.To be sure, life here should be an abundant life, so He said, “And the Christ of Glory, Jesus of Nazareth, was concerned that our joy might be full, again, here and hereafter.” The resurrection promised us that new life, a saving proposition which formed the belief of many of the Founding Fathers. There was, said to Christ, the BOOK OF LIFE in which the name of all who believe would be written. That was the written indication of the guarantee of life eternal. Natural law and all that was envisioned by the Founding Fathers was taken to the next level, the highest possible moral level, by Jesus Christ. What a blessing to have a life abundant here, but much more importantly, to firmly and confidently expect life eternal THERE, and with Him.LIBERTY/FREEDOM. The great revolutionary Patrick Henry said:“GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH.”For him, not to live free was worse than death. To live forever under British rule and yoke was intolerable, as bad or even worse than death. No matter the cost, all colonists, all Americans, had to live free no matter what. But there was a higher freedom. Then came the Son, the only one who can really set anyone FREE. No human being could live to the fullest without absolute freedom of:CHOICETHOUGHTACTIONBELIEFThey, all of them, were part of the unalienable rights of the Declaration of IndependenceNo man or woman could live without the Truth. But, with the higher law, the Christ of Glory promised all that HE was the way, and the TRUTH, and the life. He not only brought joy through salvation, here and now, but freedom, here and eternally, from all transgressions and sin. His spirit, the Holy Spirit, came to strengthen, admonish, and encourage us as we lived and walked with Him. Real freedom, the only liberty, which was total and complete, was only found in the:SAVING GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST.HAPPINESS. There was the necessity for full life, there was the necessity for liberty, and there was the necessity for every human being to engage for his or her life in the:PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.Happiness as that individual defined it. That was the unalienable right of every human being. But then came the higher law, through the Holy Person.Then came the One who brought real joy, real happiness, and showed the way to life abundant here, and with the promise of even more hereafter. This man, our Lord, was so determined to teach us the meaning of happiness and life abundant that He gave His life for that purpose. He admonished us to be cheerful, happy, we were to have fun, and joy, the very best of this life, knowing that the ultimate joy, the higher law, that which was above the natural law, was yet to be fulfilled, but would be so for all eternity. Ultimate joy and happiness would only be accomplished as we live with Him eternally. Some, perhaps many of the Founding Fathers, believed this.We who believe in our Lord Jesus Christ and His higher laws of life, liberty, and happiness can well sing the song HAPPY AM I, JESUS LOVES ME. We can also sing I AM HAPPY IN THE SERVICE OF THE KING because we are in that service and it does provide ultimate fulfillment and happiness.We then should be extremely grateful, thankful, to those revolutionaries, those Founding Fathers, who gave us the great Declaration of Independence and, the Constitution of 1787, our Founding Documents, and the freedoms, the unalienable rights, which they granted to colonists then, and to all of us Americans here and now. Thank you, all 56 of those great men who gave us the Declaration of Independence.We, their heirs and successors, have received and lived the fruits of those blessings and we owe them the highest debt of human gratitude. But there is more, and we have that. There are laws and rights higher than the natural laws of 1776. There is life, there is liberty, and there is happiness and joy, all from HIM and we who believe in Him can partake of the very best here and now, this life, but with far greater expectation of what is to come in the next life.WITH HIM!

Cuts 1-13 https://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/patrick.asp Patrick Henry followed this with a stabbing motion with his bone letter opener to symbolize the spirit of the Roman Philospher Cato:“Cato drew his sword from its sheath and stabbed himself below the breast. His thrust, however, was somewhat feeble... [and] he did not at once dispatch himself... His servants heard the noise and cried out, and his son at once ran in, together with his friends... [A] physician went to him and tried to replace his bowels, which remained uninjured, and to sew up the wound.

Clay's conversation with popular guest Dr. Lindsay Chervinsky on Patrick Henry. Henry began his life as a shopkeeper but rose to become the governor of Virginia and one of the handful of most essential rabble-rousers in the American Revolution. Henry and Jefferson were frenemies; at one point, Jefferson (the Deist) said to his friend Madison, “We must pray for Henry's death.” This quip was likely a joke, but Jefferson was quite critical of Henry, and he never forgave him for initiating a legislative investigation into Jefferson's conduct as the beleaguered wartime governor of Virginia. Henry refused to attend the Constitutional Convention in 1787 because, he said, “he smelt a rat.” He opposed ratification in Virginia, but when Jefferson and Madison were considering secession in 1798 and 1799, Henry declared to George Washington that the constitutional settlement must not be disturbed by the Jeffersonians.

The conversation on America's Roundtable focuses on AG Jason Miyares's leadership in fighting opioids, reducing overdose deaths and reducing violence, thus making communitites in Virginia safer. The data released by Virginia Department of Health Office of the Chief Medical Examiner show fentanyl-related overdose deaths in Virginia declined 44 percent year-over-year and are down over 46 percent from its peak in 2021. Virginia led the nation in annual percentage declines in drug overdose deaths in 2024.   The recent celebration of America's Independence Day on July 4th 2025, reminds us of America Founding Fathers' ingenuity in creating America's Founding Documents: The Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Virginia played a historic role in the founding of the American Republic - 249 years ago. America's Founding Fathers George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, George Mason, James Monroe, Patrick Henry and John Marshall were all Virginians. The timely discussion elevates the importance of combating anti-Semitism, and advancing principled policies based on the rule of law as well as affirming the significance of peace through strength. Bio | Jason S. Miyares (https://jasonmiyares.com/about/) Attorney General Jason Miyares' story doesn't start in Virginia Beach, Virginia, but in Havana, Cuba when his mother, Miriam Miyares, fled communist Cuba, penniless and homeless. She taught Jason a love for freedom, democracy, and that America is indeed the “last best hope on earth.” A product of Virginia public schools, Jason graduated with a Bachelor's in Business Administration from James Madison University and received his J.D. from the College of William and Mary School of Law. He previously served as a prosecutor in the Virginia Beach Commonwealth's Attorney Office, where he worked alongside law enforcement to keep violent criminals off our streets and our communities safe. In 2015, almost fifty years to the day that she fled Cuba, Miriam was able to vote for her son Jason Miyares to represent her in the oldest democracy in the Western Hemisphere, the Virginia House of Delegates. While representing Virginia Beach, Jason was recognized as “Legislator of the Year” in both 2018 and 2019 from the College Affordability and Public Trust for his work on transparency and affordability in higher education, as well as by the Hampton Roads Military Officers Association of America in 2018. He was also recognized in 2019 by the Safe House Project for his work combatting human trafficking, an issue that his administration is prioritizing. Jason Miyares is the first Cuban American elected to the General Assembly, the first Hispanic elected statewide in Virginia, and the first son of an immigrant ever elected to be Attorney General. He is passionate about preserving the American Miracle for the next generation of Virginians. americasrt.com (https://americasrt.com/) https://summitleadersusa.com/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @JasonMiyaresVA @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

“Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!” - Patrick Henry  Honoring Innovation, Freedom, and Small Business on the 4th of July  In this special Independence Day episode of Scaling UP! H2O, host Trace Blackmore brings you a rich blend of patriotism, professional insight, and entrepreneurial spirit. Opening with reflections on July 4th traditions—from fireworks to parades—Trace sets the stage for a compelling conversation with Jack Clark, Owner and Founder of 180 Water. As the water industry faces growing demand and generational turnover, Jack offers a bold solution: a replicable franchise model designed to preserve institutional knowledge and sustainably expand access to clean water. A Rancher Turned Water Well Visionary  Jack shares his origin story, from growing up on a ranch in Montana to launching a water well drilling company that now spans multiple states. What started with a neighbor's influence and a deep respect for self-reliance evolved into a career in well drilling—and eventually, a scalable business framework. Jack walks us through the unique challenges of finding water in fractured rock regions and explains how field wisdom, data monitoring, and humility define success. Franchising in the Water Sector: Solving the Knowledge Drain  As the industry grapples with aging experts nearing retirement, 180 Water is addressing a critical issue: the loss of operational and geological expertise. Jack reveals how his team is onboarding retiring professionals as equity partners to serve as regional hubs, blending mentorship with modern operations. Their approach enables local ownership, data collection, and scalable customer service, while preserving regional nuances in well drilling. Lessons in Leadership, Accountability, and Resilience  Jack emphasizes that real growth stems from reflection, mentorship, and integrity. He discusses how accountability—rooted in ranch life—translates into transparent client relationships, responsible site practices, and support systems that empower franchisees. His goal? To build a network of highly trained, values-aligned professionals who ensure the longevity and safety of our groundwater resources. The Spirit of Liberty: Patrick Henry's Enduring Speech  In a moving tribute to Independence Day, Trace closes the episode with a complete reading of Patrick Henry's “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” speech. Listeners are reminded of the courage it takes to challenge the status quo and the unifying power of respectful discourse—values that echo through today's challenges in water, business, and beyond. Final Takeaway  This episode isn't just about wells—it's about vision, responsibility, and the courage to lead. Jack Clark's journey inspires water professionals to think bigger, act with purpose, and consider scalable solutions to systemic industry issues.  Be sure to check our events page for upcoming water conferences and symposiums to continue growing your expertise.  Stay engaged, keep learning, and continue scaling up your knowledge!    Timestamps    02:20 - Trace Blackmore shares his warm greetings to Scaling UP!

And so it's important to make sure that you can be counted on.” “I was sending my best guys to the worst projects, my worst guys to the best projects—and no one was happy.” “You know how to run your business. You were successful at that. But we want to help you scale it with support and mentorship.” “There's not a perfect science to well drilling. Sometimes you find the water. Sometimes you don't. But that's the responsibility we take on.”  Trace Blackmore: “I really believe that the backbone of our country is small business and entrepreneurship.” “I hope we realize we have way more in common than we do differences—and that we enter conversations with curiosity instead of judgment.”    Connect with Jack Clark  Phone: +406 465 4791   Email: jack.clark@180water.com  Website: 180 Water   LinkedIn: 180 Water: Overview | LinkedIn    Click HERE to Download Episode's Discussion Guide    Guest Resources Mentioned  Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything by Steven D.

FREEDOM!We are, America is, the home, the land of the:BRAVE AND THE FREE.We are lovers of freedom. It is, you could say, in our genes. We inherited that love of freedom from those who founded our great country, fought against the oppressors more than two centuries ago and built the foundation for the FREEDOMS we now enjoy today. Give us, we say with that great statesman and our forefather Patrick Henry, give us that LIBERTY or if that is taken away, give us death for there is no real life without freedom.For us, America is in fact exceptional no matter the indifferent attitude of Barack Hussein Obama who thinks that America is no more exceptional than any other country! But all of America and we the people are exceptional in so many ways, including our way of life and our lifestyle. Everything is okay down to the last sentence and raise and champion our great flag, and wear the American flag pin proudly, especially in the world of academia which thinks the American flag is a symbol for racism and xenophobia rather than exceptionalism.And now, we should take quality time to honor the founding documents which make us great, namely our Constitution, our Bill of Rights and our Declaration of Independence. We should honor these incredible documents by reading them, studying their content, understanding the values therein and resolving as the authors of these documents did, and honor our forefathers who provided them for us recommitting to them and the world at large that we the people will protect and preserve the freedoms contained therein, even to the laying down of our lives.In this day, there are so many who would CHANGE what we have, or even more radically so, eliminate it. There seems to be an ever-growing number of those in our very own country with little or no respect for our great founding documents, our freedoms, the principles by which we have lived and built THE GREAT SOCIETY, and especially what America has been, our glorious history. They the un-Americans wish to eliminate or erode so many of our freedoms and move this great country toward socialism. THEY are the enemy inside and THEY must be stopped. We the people, true Constitutional Americans energized and emboldened by our founding documents and founding fathers must make certain we do what is right for our great country, and as true patriots, protect and defend our freedoms as never before. We should do everything humanly possible to prevent socialism of any kind in thought or deed.We should remember the words of that great statesman, a founding father himself, Benjamin Franklin, who said, when asked, that he and his fellow revolutionaries have given us, Americans then and now, a REPUBLIC. Not a Democracy, but a Republic. Franklin went on to warn us then and now that this Republic was FRAGILE, and needed at all times to be protected with vigilance, vigor and valor. That this Republic of the combined United States could never be taken for granted. Nor could any citizen assume it would go on, and on. For freedom, for Franklin and the fathers, was a precious right that could only be sustained by watchful, involved and proactive citizens. We who would live in this free country and enjoy its immense freedoms must at all times be:WATCHMEN AND WOMEN ON THE WALLSNot talk, debate or discussion, but ACTION, actively working to protect our freedoms and our way of life, willing to die in the fray if necessary. Would you be willing to die, to lay all on the altar in the cause of freedom? What would you do if ISIS or jihadists attacked America and threatened harm to your family and you? What would you do? Our forefathers never gave the matter a second thought. They, in Second Amendment fashion, took up arms to defend their country, their freedoms and their family. Would you?In fact, we AMERICANS should be so proud of our country, and our freedoms, that we as a nation are ready at all times to help others in the cause of freedom. We gave the lives of millions of young American men and women to others in the cause of freedom. Witness World War II. One Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman 83 years young arrived in Paris by airplane. At French customs, it took him several minutes to locate his passport. The Customs Officer with sarcasm and disdain asked Mr. Whiting:“You have been to France before, Monsieur?”Mr. Whiting answered, yes he had and the smart aleck French official replied pompously:“Then you should know enough to have your passport ready!”Mr. Whiting then stared this official in the eye and said the following:“The last time I was here I didn't have to show my passport.”To which the French Customs Official replied:“Impossible! Americans always have to show passports on arrival in France!”Mr. Whiting gave this arrogant Frenchman a long hard look and he proudly stated:“Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchman to show a passport to!”You could have heard a pin drop. God bless America and God bless Mr. Whiting.And yet another instance of a proud American at work. When in England at a fairly large conference, Secretary of State Colin Powell was asked by the Arch Bishop of Canterbury if America's plans for Iraq were simply a rationalization for empire building or LAND-GRABBING by George Bush as American soldiers went to war. Powell simply answered by saying:“Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for FREEDOM beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those who did not return.”All attending that conference were deadly silent. Well said, Mr. Powell, well said as a proud American.There was once a conference in France when a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. One of the French engineers said the following:“Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intend to do, bomb them?”Those in attendance snickered and jeered. That is, until an engineer from the Boeing company in America stood up and proudly stated:“Our aircraft carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people. They are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities. They have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day. They can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day. They carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and the injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such aircraft carriers. How many does France have?”You could have heard a pin drop.And again, a U.S. Naval Admiral was attending a naval conference that included admirals from the united states, England, Canada, Australia and France. Every one in attendance was conversing in English. Suddenly a French Admiral complained the Europeans learn many languages but Americans learn only English. This French Admiral arrogantly and pompously said:“Why is that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?”The American United States Naval Admiral stood up proudly and replied:“Maybe it is because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so that you would not have to speak German!”The room was deadly silent.So, whether here at home or anywhere abroad, anywhere in the world, it is our privilege, our duty, our passion to protect FREEDOM at every turn. That freedom means for us and ALL IN THE WORLD the fundamental rights, the God-given rights to:LIFELIBERTYTHE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESSIt is our right to live life free, with maximum freedom. It is our right to live and champion liberty everywhere. And, it is our right to pursue happiness as we define that, as free individuals, to pursue life legally and lovingly as WE choose. May it always be so, but it only can be if we are willing to do anything possible to protect those freedoms. ANYTHING! Are you?So now, this Independence week, culminating in the great day July 4, Independence Day, we should honor America, this great country in which we are privileged to live. We should honor all things American and we should honor our flag as a symbol of who we are and what we believe. There are those who would desecrate or cause to be irrelevant the great stars and stripes. There was the action of the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) which banned the wearing of the American flag as a lapel pin or otherwise in clothing because the flag in their view was controversial and represented the causes of certain conservatives. How tragic, how ridiculous, how un-American the actions of the American Broadcasting Company. There are times when our President, our Congress, our leading citizens simply do not wear or honor the flag or any other symbol of all great things American. We the people should find all such conduct unacceptable and we should protest. The greatest form of protest is to protect, preserve and defend our freedoms and the symbol of those freedoms, the great American flag, the perfect symbol of our independence and the finest possible expression of freedom on the great day July 4, Independence Day. Do just that loudly and proudly my fellow citizens.Think carefully, my fellow Americans, about the precious freedoms granted by your Constitution and YOUR Bill of Rights. Remember that you are guaranteed the right to freedom of religion, to worship and practice religion as you please. You are guaranteed the right to free speech, to speak as you wish at anytime, anywhere, with any words. You are guaranteed the right to freely assemble, to petition, to print in press or on the Internet. YOU ARE GUARANTEED THOSE RIGHTS! You are guaranteed the right to bear arms, to purchase, own and use them for pleasure or in self-defense. You are guaranteed the right against governmental illegal search and seizure. You are guaranteed the right a trial by a jury of your peers rather than to be summarily convicted by any governmental agency. You are guaranteed the right to counsel if you can not afford one when charged with a crime. You are guaranteed the right to vote.You are guaranteed to pursue life, liberty and happiness as you wish! You are guaranteed by YOUR Constitution and Bill of Rights the highest and best form of living and lifestyle the world has ever known! You should give thanks for America, for all that it was, is and can be in the future if YOU as Benjamin Franklin so well said standup and do everything possible to KEEP IT that is the great experiment in freedom which our founding fathers intended. Please join with me this Independence Week, this Freedom Week and especially on the set-aside day for freedom celebration, namely July 4 in pledging once again our allegiance to this great country. Please join me in these great words which honor America:I pledge allegianceto the Flagof the United States of Americaand to the Republic for which it standsone nationindivisiblewith liberty and justicefor all!I ask humbly and lovingly that GOD BLESS AMERICA.And I ask humbly as well that GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!There is only one America.

Clay's conversation with popular guest Dr. Lindsay Chervinsky on Patrick Henry. Henry began his life as a shopkeeper but rose to become the governor of Virginia and one of the handful of most essential rabble-rousers in the American Revolution. Henry and Jefferson were frenemies; at one point, Jefferson (the Deist) said to his friend Madison, “We must pray for Henry's death.” This quip was likely a joke, but Jefferson was quite critical of Henry, and he never forgave him for initiating a legislative investigation into Jefferson's conduct as the beleaguered wartime governor of Virginia. Henry refused to attend the Constitutional Convention in 1787 because, he said, “he smelt a rat.” He opposed ratification in Virginia, but when Jefferson and Madison were considering secession in 1798 and 1799, Henry declared to George Washington that the constitutional settlement must not be disturbed by the Jeffersonians.

In this solo-hosted episode of Brad & Abbey Live, Abbey Blue Eyes takes listeners on a mind-expanding journey through Michael Persinger's groundbreaking lecture, “No More Secrets.” Exploring topics like global resonance, synthetic consciousness, and the transfer of information through the Earth's magnetic field, Abbey breaks down Persinger's research into digestible segments that make complex neuroscience and remote viewing accessible, and riveting. Along the way, Abbey weaves in clips from General Quast and Patrick Henry to stir patriotic reflection and set the stage for a deeper conversation about spiritual strength, moral conviction, and how our founding values align with the modern “Great Awakening.” She also delves into CIA-backed research on remote viewing, the concept of photon-based thought transfer, and the possibility of a globally connected consciousness. With passion and clarity, Abbey reflects on biblical prophecy, scientific frontiers, and the power of thought to shape reality. As she puts it: if we are all connected, there truly can be no more secrets. Stay tuned until the end for an inspiring clip on the Hundredth Monkey Effect, and a heartfelt reminder that mindset might just be humanity's greatest battlefield.

In 1765, after the British passed the Stamp Act, a 29-year-old freshman legislator in Virginia named Patrick Henry pushed back - hard. His Virginia Resolves didn't just protest a tax; they rejected Parliament's power outright and called for resistance. “If this be treason…” he thundered in support of them. When government tried to silence the message, Henry stood firm - and the other colonies joined in, publishing every single word.

In 1971, Congress declared Memorial Day a national holiday to be celebrated on the last Monday in May, echoing the words and sentiments of the proclamation of General John A. Logan of the grand Army of the Republic in 1868 who stated:“Memorial Day is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion (the Civil War) and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet, church yard in the land.”So it is that the primary purpose of Memorial Day is to strew with flowers literally and figuratively the graves and memories of America's daring defenders. They the fallen died for freedom, liberty, for America, for us, for YOU AND ME. We were asked to remember those who died in the great American Civil War, but the day to remember now incorporates all who have given lives in defense of our country. Far too many wars, my fellow Americans, and far too many fallen defenders by the millions who believed in America, and in its fundamental principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all mankind. How grateful we should be.We are descendants or contemporaries of patriots, men and women who cherish freedom and were willing to fight and die to defend it if necessary. These warriors lived by the words of Patrick Henry who said:GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH.Our nation was formed in the fight for freedom for there was no life worthwhile without it. There came our great Constitution and our incredible BILL OF RIGHTS, the rights and freedom amendments which are the finest in the history of mankind. But no matter the origin, it seems as though in so many ways the passion for freedom may have been lost today as they once had it. We seem to take for granted what they died for. And the courage they the fallen had seems lost today in so many ways and the change in our country, produces in so many ways an America in decline, at least politically, philosophically and certainly passionately. Our ancestors fought for the Constitution, for the Bill of Rights and the freedoms those now 27 Amendments allow us. They were ready to die for them, but we the current people allow them to be watered down, interpreted away and often ignored without the fight or conviction to protect and defend them. Perhaps the freedoms of Patrick Henry are giving way to a slow but sure death. Perhaps we have failed to meet the challenge of Ben Franklin who told us that the Republic they created for us was a marvelous way of government IF we could keep it. I wonder if we can.So, in the midst of barbeques and baseball, it is so healthy to look back andremember. Remember a George Washington, a general, a leader, a President, awarrior, a patriot. Or a Paul Revere who rode the land warning that the enemy wascoming, sounding the alarm. It seems as though we need more Paul Reveres, warningus that enemies to our Constitution and way of life are coming, and in fact are HERE.We the people should be ever mindful of the threats and sound the alarm as he did,like those who energized our country once before, THE BOSTON TEA PARTYPATRIOTS and the revolution their courageous acts energized and inspired. They tooka stand against taxes and so must we. Ours continue to rise, and rise to the point ofconfiscation and nothing but nothing destroys freedom like taxes. President JohnAdams reminded us that the two killers of liberty are slavery and debt. The debt ofconfiscatory taxation strangles freedom and that is happening at an incredibly rapidpace today. Shame on us.It is hard for us to think back and remember the early days in America when slavery,slavery was a way of life in America to our great shame and embarrassment. We themoderns find that inconceivable, and the practice of slavery of any kind abhorrent, dowe not? Right-thinking men and women fought and fell to rid America of the scourgeof slavery, God bless them.And to rid the world of despots like Hitler, evil to the core, Mussolini and those who inwar would destroy the freedom and liberty of all. God bless them.There can hardly be a family anywhere in America which has not laid a son ordaughter on the altar of freedom. So many fought and fell, lives given willingly for usin war after war. And there were those who supported those who fought. We honorthem. Many of our warriors and defenders came home hurt and damaged in body ormind perhaps for a lifetime. On Memorial Day, we honor these veterans of wars, theseHEROES, these wounded warriors who gave us our freedom:WE OWE THEM!A debt we can never repay. To honor them is the least we can do, to thank them as weremember and as we encounter those in our military who follow after them. Weshould help and support them. They lived and died for what they believed. WheneverI encounter a member of our military, I thank them for what they did and what they dofor our great country, for me, and for you, and for my friends and loved ones and allAmericans whether I know them or not. But I really do know them for I know what isin their hearts and minds and I know they love America as much as I do. I will salutethem as a sign of respect. I wish them to know that I will always be grateful foreverything they do for me and the America I love. Perhaps YOU should do the same,not on one Memorial Day, but all days. They the heroes and defenders are the verybest of us.God bless them.Memorial Day is always celebrated at Arlington National Cemetery, a very specialplace, a burial site for some of America's bravest. At 3 PM on that Monday, a veryspecial ceremony occurs and each grave is decorated with a small American flag. Thehighlight of the celebration is a speech in honor of these brave men and women fromthe President or Vice President of the United States honoring their contributions toAmerica and laying a wreath at the tomb of The Unknown Soldier. That tombrepresents tens of thousands of other unknown soldiers who gave their lives in serviceto our country, but in death never got the recognition and respect they so justlydeserved. Do remember them, my fellow Americans, do remember them as well onMemorial Day as there may be no one else, no loved one, no friend or family to do so.And as you do remember these American heroes, thank our God, the God who blessesAmerica for all those who gave so much for us. They allowed us to be parents, to haveand enjoy family, they allowed us to be workers and fully participate in the greatopportunities America offers. THEY allowed us to be all that we can be because oursoldiers, they were determined to be all they could be. Have a special place in yourheart all week for any loved one, family or friend of yours who should beMEMORIALIZED AND REMEMBERED this day and always.And, as we pay tribute and remember, let us become better citizens of this greatcountry, ready more than ever to preserve, protect and defend all it stands for, all ofour blessed and precious freedoms which exist like there are nowhere else in theworld. Let us stand for what is right with actions, protests, town meetings, marches,debate, fact and truth at work, counteracting government spin and disinformation.Let us stand tall for the right, for truth, for all things moral and valuable. Let usresolve, we the people, we who own and control this country to do our job as citizensfar better. And remember to cherish and exercise the greatest privilege which everyAmerican has. That is:THE VOTEThere is no more powerful weapon than the vote of the American citizen. It is the mostprecious Constitutional right we have and for which our forefathers fought and died.Let us make certain that we vote for those to represent us who so passionately believein these very special freedoms as we do, and they the fallen did. It is only then, whenwe do our part, day in and day out, that we would have the right to say with convictionand passion as our forefathers did:GOD BLESS AMERICAFor that can not happen unless we the people do what is right, remembering whomand what went before and committing with conviction to follow in their footsteps.These men and women died for GOD AND COUNTRY and for you and me in the neverendingfight to protect and preserve:FREEDOMMemorialize their memories Memorial Day and every day!God bless America and God bless you.

Either Dan Bongino and Kash Patel are corrupt liars or they are lying because they have been made to fear. There is no option where they are telling the truth and we all know it. So what then?Introduction* Opening Remarks (00:00:00 - 00:02:21)* The hosts, self-described as the "two kings of the Rube Empire," introduce the episode with a fiery tone, labeling themselves right-wing extremists, supernaturalists, and Christian bigots.* The Philosopher King holds 51% of the power, while the Iron King is the "people's champ" and hosts the show with unfiltered energy due to Dusty's absence.* The hosts emphasize their Christian faith, with the Iron King declaring his love for Jesus Christ and urging listeners to follow Him.* Tone is set for a candid, no-holds-barred discussion, promising to "give it straight with no chaser."Main Topics Discussed* Criticism of Dan Bongino and Kash Patel (00:00:01 - 00:22:10)* Context: The hosts express frustration with conservative figures Dan Bongino and Kash Patel for statements made on a Sunday talk show (possibly CBS) regarding Jeffrey Epstein's death and the Butler County shooter.* Epstein's Death (00:10:43 - 00:17:18)* Bongino and Patel claimed Epstein killed himself, which the hosts vehemently reject, citing well-known inconsistencies:* Epstein was in a suicide-proof cell with paper sheets.* Cameras malfunctioned, and guards fell asleep, later being exonerated.* Three neck bones were broken, unusual for a suicide.* A cell phone was found in his possession, and his cellmate allegedly tried to kill him.* The hosts mock the "trust the files" narrative, referencing Steven Crowder's breakdown of the impossibility of Epstein's suicide.* They argue this reflects either coercion or complicity, highlighting the power of the "deep state."* Butler County Shooter (00:21:50 - 00:24:36)* Bongino and Patel dismissed conspiracy theories about the shooter, Matthew Thomas Crooks, claiming he acted alone.* The hosts counter with suspicious details:* Crooks' house was wiped clean, and his parents were heavily lawyered up.* His parents were psychologists, potentially linked to CIA-like manipulation.* A call to FBI headquarters was traced to his phone.* Security failures included an understaffed Secret Service, a sloped roof left unguarded, and CNN's rare coverage of the Trump rally that day.* They suggest an orchestrated assassination attempt meant to spark civil unrest, foiled by divine intervention.* Key Takeaway: The hosts view these statements as evidence of a controlled narrative, undermining trust in conservative leaders and exposing the impotence of political figures against systemic corruption.* Distrust in the System and Political Figures (00:18:51 - 00:29:00)* The hosts argue that the presidency and government are powerless against a "deep state" pulling the strings, using an Avenged Sevenfold music video as a metaphor for unseen powers controlling politicians.* They criticize the blind loyalty to figures like Trump, emphasizing that no politician can save America—only Christ can.* The hosts reject the "lesser of two evils" voting argument and lament the lack of principled leaders like Patrick Henry.* They cite Thomas Massie as a rare principled politician who achieves little due to systemic resistance, reinforcing their view that the government is not for the people.* Critique of Political Labels and Conservatism (00:07:35 - 00:09:30)* Referencing Joel Webbin's podcast, the hosts argue there are no true conservatives in government, only "liberals and liberals."* They identify as Christian nationalists, prioritizing biblical principles like truthfulness over political allegiance.* They express frustration with Republicans who attack principled critics rather than addressing systemic lies.* Societal Decline and Spiritual Perspective (00:04:19 - 00:05:55)* The hosts compare America's state to a self-implosion, likening it to biblical Judah facing internal collapse rather than external invasion.* They draw parallels to Elijah's time under Ahab and Jezebel, positioning themselves as voices crying out in the wilderness against a corrupt system.* The Minor Prophets provide "copium" for dealing with a seemingly lost cause, reinforcing their belief that only Christ, not human government, offers salvation.* Positive Developments and White Pills (00:15:21 - 00:19:00, 01:04:50 - 01:05:46)* Policy Wins: The hosts praise RFK Jr. for removing food dyes and challenging the ineffective HHS, as well as Trump for passing no tax on tips, though they push for broader tax reform like eliminating income tax.* Cultural Shifts: They highlight the rise in homeschooling and Christian schools as signs of a growing resistance to secular propaganda, attributing this to divine providence.* Incremental Change: While acknowledging small victories, they urge listeners not to settle, criticizing Republicans who celebrate minimal progress without pushing further.* Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson's Spiritual Awakening (01:13:31 - 01:20:02)* The hosts cite Joe Rogan attending a Protestant church and Tucker Carlson reading the Bible as evidence of a cultural shift toward Christianity.* Rogan, once dismissive of Christians, now sees the need for Jesus, influenced by guests like Wes Huff and Dave Smith.* Carlson's journey from atheism to faith further illustrates God's movement in influential figures.* This "mustard seed" growth of faith in prominent voices gives hope that God is working despite systemic corruption.* Call to Action for Christians (01:07:49 - 01:13:02)* The hosts reject withdrawing from society or violent rebellion, instead advocating for a long-term strategy of faithful Christian living:* Raise families to love Jesus, build strong churches, and spread faith organically.* Example: A friend running for mayor of Orlando, driven by faith, exemplifies local impact.* They emphasize that faith in Christ, not the system, will restore society, likening it to the kingdom of God growing like a mustard seed.* Evangelistic Appeal (01:20:06 - 01:25:56)* The hosts directly address non-believers, arguing that the world's evil reflects human sinfulness, which only Christ can redeem.* They challenge the notion of morality without God, asserting that evil (e.g., Epstein's actions) is only recognizable because of God's standard.* They call listeners to submit to Jesus, the only perfect founder of faith, for personal and societal transformation.Key Themes* Distrust in Institutions: The hosts view the government, FBI, and mainstream media as irredeemably corrupt, controlled by unseen forces.* Christian Faith as the Solution: They repeatedly affirm that only Jesus Christ, not political figures or systems, can save individuals and society.* Critique of Blind Loyalty: They challenge the idolization of politicians like Trump, urging listeners to prioritize principles over personalities.* Hope in Divine Providence: Despite systemic failures, the hosts see God moving through cultural shifts (e.g., Rogan, Carlson) and grassroots efforts (e.g., homeschooling).* Long-Term Faithfulness: They advocate for incremental, faith-driven change through strong families and churches, rejecting quick fixes or violence.Notable Quotes* On Epstein's Death: “You want me to believe that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself? Because just trust me, bro, I read the files.” (00:13:51)* On the System: “Trump's not in control of the country right now, guys. Sorry.

Faith shaped America's foundation in ways many have forgotten. Dive deep into the writings of Patrick Henry, who left his family only "the religion of Christ" as inheritance, and Andrew Jackson, who comforted the grieving by pointing them to "our dear Savior." These weren't merely religious men—they were leaders whose Christian worldview fundamentally shaped their vision for our nation.Why would such devoutly Christian founders create a country intended to separate God from government? They wouldn't—and didn't. While they wisely separated church from state to prevent denominational control, they never intended to remove God, prayer, or biblical principles from public life. This distinction has been deliberately blurred in our modern understanding.The episode contrasts our comfortable modern Christianity with the brutal martyrdoms detailed in Fox's Book of Martyrs. Under Emperor Valerian's persecution, Christians faced being burned alive, devoured by tigers, and tortured horrifically—yet many voluntarily identified themselves as believers, knowing the consequences. When was the last time our faith cost us anything significant?I examine how modern America has inverted the founding principles, replacing "taxation without representation" with what might be called "representation without taxation"—where those who contribute little or nothing financially have equal say in how tax dollars are spent. This fundamental shift undermines the constitutional balance our founders established.The Matthew 20 reading reminds us that Jesus "did not come to be served, but to serve." How often do we embody this principle? Do our daily priorities reveal genuine Christian commitment or comfortable cultural Christianity?What would you do if being Christian meant risking everything? Our brothers and sisters in Syria, Nigeria, China, and North Korea face this reality daily. Their courage should challenge us to examine whether our faith is merely convenient or truly convictional.Subscribe to continue exploring the intersection of faith, history, and American identity as we seek to understand how our founding principles can guide us through today's challenges.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

On this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold kicks things off with an in-depth segment featuring Ghost of Patrick Henry to unpack the geopolitical power plays redefining the Middle East. From Trump's surprising snub of Israel and the sidelining of Netanyahu, to renewed talks with Iran and a potentially historic Saudi nuclear deal, the duo digs deep into the motives and strategies behind Trump's emerging peace-through-strength doctrine. Ghost connects the dots on Jared Kushner's quiet return, Ron Dermer's desperation visit to D.C., and why a Trump-Putin handshake in Riyadh could flip the entire global narrative. Back on the homefront, Jon recaps the shakeup at DOJ, where Judge Jeanine Pirro replaces Ed Martin as interim U.S. Attorney for D.C., a move likely designed to expose more RINO obstruction in the Senate. Meanwhile, Martin slides into a powerful new triple-threat role leading pardons, investigating government weaponization, and serving as Associate Deputy AG. The episode also takes aim at James O'Keefe's overhyped Epstein “exposé,” calling out the clickbait tactics and flimsy accusations against Pam Bondi as a reckless distraction. Jon defends Dr. Casey Means, Trump's pick for Surgeon General, applauding her credentials as a fearless disruptor and dismantling the absurd arguments about her inactive license. Rounding out the show are sharp takes on Jasmine Crockett's projection-fueled rant, Letitia James' federal probe, the firing of FEMA's acting director, and a liberal meltdown over overpriced tacos. Herold weaves it all together with narrative warfare analysis and a reminder that chaos is just the prelude to clarity.

What happens when we hold Patrick Henry's revolutionary call for liberty against the mirror of America's spiritual condition today? This episode of the American Soul Podcast explores the uncomfortable parallels between colonial America's struggle against British tyranny and our modern battle against forces threatening to undermine faith and family.Jesse Cope begins with a disarmingly honest confession about spending an entire day watching tennis—then asks the piercing question: "When was the last time I spent that many hours serving God?" This reflection sparks a deeper exploration of how our daily time allocation reveals our true priorities, challenging listeners to examine whether God truly comes first in practice, not just in principle.Turning to Scripture, Jesse unpacks 2 Peter's warnings about false prophets, drawing connections to contemporary cultural movements that have slowly eroded traditional Christian values. The pattern becomes clear: like the British imposing increasingly restrictive measures on colonists, modern secular forces have advanced through incremental victories, each time promising that "just one more concession" will bring peace.The heart of the episode features Patrick Henry's immortal "Give me liberty or give me death" speech, with Jesse highlighting Henry's critical insight: "Let us not deceive ourselves." This becomes the rallying cry for Christians today who must recognize that endless compromise has not and will not satisfy those opposed to biblical values. Just as the colonists eventually recognized that war was inevitable, Jesse argues that spiritual warfare requires Christians to take a stand rather than continuing to retreat.Most powerfully, Jesse provides practical guidance for reclaiming cultural ground—from supporting law enforcement to influencing education to putting Christ back at the center of family life. His message balances righteous concern for America's direction with the reminder that, ultimately, our first allegiance must be to God's kingdom.Whether you're concerned about America's spiritual direction, struggling with personal priorities, or simply seeking biblical wisdom for navigating today's challenges, this episode will inspire you to examine where you stand and what you're willing to fight for.

Time—our most precious and limited resource. Yet how easily we squander it on things that won't matter in eternity while claiming we're too busy for God, our spouses, or our children. In this soul-searching episode, we confront the uncomfortable truth that many of us excel at procrastinating in matters of faith while finding endless hours for entertainment and distractions.Drawing from 2 Peter 1, we examine the apostle's call to "apply all diligence" to our faith, adding moral excellence, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love. When was the last time you evaluated your activities against this biblical standard? Are your entertainment choices and time investments making you a better follower of Christ, or are they simply consuming hours you'll never get back?Patrick Henry's famous "Give me liberty or give me death" speech serves as a powerful framework for understanding America's current spiritual crossroads. Just as Henry warned against the "illusion of hope" regarding peaceful reconciliation with Britain, we must question whether peaceful coexistence with ideologies fundamentally opposed to biblical truth is possible or merely buying time for their advancement. The speech, rich with biblical references often missed by modern readers, reminds us that our founders understood liberty's dependence on spiritual foundations.Remember—our tendency to delay spiritual growth assumes we have tomorrow, when Scripture clearly warns against such presumption. What relationships are you neglecting? What spiritual disciplines are you postponing? What truths are you afraid to speak? As Patrick Henry declared, if we remain silent when truth demands our voice, we commit "an act of disloyalty toward the majesty of heaven."

But this isn't just a history lesson, it's a framework for understanding how power, sovereignty, and narrative warfare continue to play out globally. Pivoting to the present, Ghost dissects the ongoing Ukraine-Russia peace talks led by Trump envoy Steve Wyckoff, and how Putin, Iran, and even Qatar are positioning themselves as key players in a new diplomatic alliance, one that bypasses the neocon and NGO apparatus of the West. He examines tensions within MAGA foreign policy circles, the deep state's media machine, and why Russia views Trump as a trusted negotiator. With expert breakdowns of Syria, Kurdistan, Netanyahu's war posture, Trump's Middle East endgame, and the weaponized role of NGOs and narrative management, this episode is a masterclass in pattern recognition. From 1775 to 2025, the revolution never ended...it just changed battlefields.

Patrick Henry is one of the most famous voices of the American Revolution. He was known in his own time for his powerful speeches and his unwavering commitment to liberty. But did you know that later in life, Patrick Henry opposed the United States Constitution? Did you know that during the political crisis of 1798/99, George Washington wrote to Patrick Henry and asked him to save the nation? In honor of the 250th anniversary of Patrick Henry's most famous speech, “Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Death,” award-winning historian John Ragosta joins us to investigate the life and work of Patrick Henry.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 112: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Give me liberty or give me death. Patrick Henry said it 250 years ago yesterday, to galvanize Americans against the tyranny growing around them brought by an insane dictator-king. Not whatever was manifesting near St. John’s Church in Richmond where the Second Virginia Convention was meeting; not what threatened them individually; not what was at their door, but what they knew WOULD be at their door soon or late because it was already inside the homes of their fellow Americans in far off Boston. Give me liberty or give me death - because whether or not the tyrant is here for US now, he is here for our brothers and sisters. He will be here for us soon enough. And what would OUR Patrick Henry have said on March 23rd, 2025? Give me liberty or give me… a free 12-ounce coffee with the purchase of a dozen donuts while supplies last at participating outlets. Add Columbia University, my alma mater Cornell and a major Democratic-heavy law firm to the list of those who when the chips were down saved themselves and told the rest of us to drop dead. The list already , the American news media, the Republican Party, the Democratic Party (save for AOC and Bernie), the former presidents, the laws, the courts, the Supreme Court, and every supposed guardrail you can think of It's not just that democracy is being raped by Trump. It's that we're standing around shrugging. And as soon as Columbia caved, Trump decided to Disappear a Cornell student. As soon as Paul, Weiss collapsed, Pam Bondi was sicced on all firms supplying lawyers to deportees or suing Trump. Give me liberty or give me up to 30 percent off on rooms at select Disney Resort Hotels when I stay five nights or longer. B-Block (33:15) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Trump again threatens MSNBC and NBC, saying MSNBC (and CNN) "will be turned off." A week ago he declared them "illegal." Do not misunderstand him. He means it. And I suspect since it's a month since MSNBC fired Joy Reid and the other anchors of color, NBC is going to through someone or something out the MSNBC window, and that right soon. C-Block (54:45) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: How unpopular is Wayne Gretzky in Canada? They smeared feces on the statue of him outside the Edmonton hockey arena. New York's Mayor may have Trump but he also has raised $36,000 this year. And while celebrating the demise of the Department of Education, Musk misspelled "Department."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
