Happy Independence Day
"Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory."
The John Adams of these our days is none other than Donald Trump. It is with great fondness and the wealth of overwhelming gratitude, by habit here in America we drop all titles, any manner of pretense and simply evoke first and last name with abiding fortitude and even reverently calling down all powers of future's will. It is not act of deification, but recognizing some among us rise not simply to need and demands of time, but soar and enthuse the rest of us to so stand and so step forward boldly, beyond past and even present woe, strife, hurdles, mountains. Such has long and always been American heart.
"Many Gentlemen in high Stations and of great Influence have been duped"
Perhaps today it is doped, as much as duped, intoxicated on zeal of petty self-worth, grossly indulged, inflicted and infected, totally absorbed in some high status offered by totalitarian regime to come, having placed full bet on previous 8, and thus disconnected from current 4, missing out on the next 16. John Adams knew the nay sayers of his day. Today Donald Trump, after announcing great news of day, jobs, jobs, jobs, turned back on the sad, fake, lot, WH press, and walked off to rejoin the glory of the American People rise. Well done sir, our Donald Trump.
"I mean the Prevalence of the small Pox among our Troops"
John Adams knew, faced, lived many health scares. Whole cities were vacated fleeing one pandemic or another. They lived devastated by numbers far higher than we know today, by percentage. 'Step' this or that to describe family was not prevalent because of divorce but because of death, failed health likely the most common cause. The saying of new vows greatly multiplied family ties in those days. And this, while this Nation formed. Donald Trump does well to encourage us to get and look beyond these hard-ship days, because that is where America has always gone, ever will, united together. Today never saddles us, we live free and wild, always. future is ours.
"But the Day is past. The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America."
Welll… so our beloved John Adams got that one wrong, the date but not sentiment. We celebrate the John Hancock on the Declaration of Independence, July 4th. On the 2nd, the Second Continental Congress passed the Lee Resolution declaring, among other things, these States free of Great Britain rule. With that decided the Congress set upon the Thomas Jefferson draft, or draught. What we celebrate is the fervor of the Committee of the Whole inspired by their best Thomas Jefferson of those days who just happened to be Thomas Jefferson of every day since. Great job numbers arrived today, after facing down the recent pandemic plague of yesterday's grip. Free enterprise is what always pulls and even leaps America to the next unmatched level. Donald Trump was sure right to cheer us on with current details and cast our visions to trust in our better tomorrows. Those sitting,scattered, hiding behind masks in WH bowels have lost all touch beyond silly dictates rattling through their tinny little, disconnected, heads. America is in free enterprise, always has been, always will be. Not taking that pulse leaves one a stooge, hunkered down in self-imposed fear, warmongering for those who only care for doom and gloom on America as they self-aggrandize… selfishly.
Quotes above are from a letter penned by John Adams to his beloved Abigail. It is an excellent read on a day like this, times such as these. Free enterprise captures the advantage of the day, the times. John Adams advocated as much in his lines.. We do well to keep, carry and advance his heart and soul. John Adams would be incredibly proud of Donald Trump of today, and each more, even humbled. Full text can be found at:
