Bratwurst hot from the grill along with potato chips, baked beans and potato salad...
...sharing stories and laughs with my family!
Life is good.
Seeing the 🎇fireworks🎇 boom over the trees from my window, (city fireworks were a no go because of the Wuhan flu, but that's alright because I can always go next year!)
Life is spectacular Pedes!
Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸 🦅 💜 🗽 🌌
Legend had it that the internet and darknet have hidden caches, vaults and archives where one can find Pepes. 🐸 🐸
It is no treasure of Pepes, but I am gifting you this a Trump Pepe that is perfect for Independence Day! 🇺🇸 🧡 🦅 🗽🌌 https://i.maga.host/sodKRBN.gif
Take my updoot. Sorry about your Ma and thank you for serving our great nation! 🇺🇸
Our mascot is Pepe the Frog and we have a lot of outdoor kind of Patriots who enjoy fishing and hunting and also camping.
Posting that you used to get your kicks from the abuse and killing of frogs was not a wise idea.
No. That's where you're wrong Pede. The men and women who constitute this enlightened community are the salt of our Earth. The more people I meet on T_D.win the more I am convinced that Patriots such as yourself deserve the best. Happy Independence day Pede! 🇺🇸
AOC and Ilhan Omar can get bent. 🖕🏻
I have never seen him get emotional, but if you do not cry, blink back tears, or really even feel that pride, or love for America then there is not a proper degree of Patriotism in your spirit! 🌌 🇺🇸 🦅 ❤
And this is how I know he is sincere and so genuine and after 8 years of Hussein Obama, I just wake up and thank our Lord that he is our President. I'm hoping, wishing and praying he is elected a second term. This nation is reviving itself, or Making Herself Great Again, under Trump.
I also appreciate Melania bringing a certain grace to the status of First Lady that was missing with Michelle. I only have her to compare it too as I do not remember Laura Bush and only remember George W. from the Iraq and Afghan wars. I was just a little kid when 9/11 happened.
Never forget. ✊🏻 🙏🏻 🇺🇸
I also like Donald Junior because each weekend he choses to hunt and fish and really just hang out with us commoners instead of New York City's black tie Elites.
I am just so happy to be an American. God Bless Trump, Melania, Donald Junior and the rest of his family. God bless America and God bless Lady Liberty. 🗽 🇺🇸
That reminds me of wisdom from our Scripture that essentially says why trade the world if it costs your Soul? Because is not your Soul of infinitely greater value?
Perhaps Soul isn't the best word because it is merely a log of our actions and source of our character. I reckon virtue, or morals is a better word.
Really He is speaking of choosing good turns over sin, which results in death. After all, as the Egyptian Pharaohs learned, nothing of this Earth can be taken into the afterlife.
36 For what will it profit a man, if he should gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
37 Or what will not a man give as a ransom for his life?
—Mark 8:36-37
26 For what will a man be profited, if he should gain the whole world, and be punished with the forfeit of his life? Or, what will not a man give as a ransom for his life?
—Matthew 16:26
This wisdom is similar to the philosophy of Marcus Tullius Cicero.
After his beloved daughter Tullia passed away, he was stricken with sadness. He wrote the The Republic in 52 B.C. and then The Commonwealth in 51 B.C. in order to keep his thoughts from sorrow.
This is his great observation on man:
[271] by virtue such as this, what bribes can you offer him, — what treasures, — what thrones, — what empires? He considers these but mortal goods, and esteems his own [virtue], divine. And if the ingratitude of the people, and the envy of his competitors, or the violence of powerful enemies, despoil his virtue of its earthly recompense, he still enjoys a thousand consolations in the approbation of conscience, and sustains himself by contemplating the beauty of moral rectitude.

7.135.1 Worthy of admiration was these men's deed of daring, and so also were their sayings. On their way to Susa, they came to Hydarnes, a Persian, who was general of the coast of Asia. He entertained and feasted them as his guests, and as they sat at his board, he asked:
7.135.2 “Lacedaemonians, why do you shun the king's friendship? You can judge from what you see of me and my condition how well the king can honor men of worth. So might it be with you if you would but put yourselves in the king's hands, being as you are of proven worth in his eyes, and every one of you might by his commission be a ruler of Hellas.”
7.135.3 To this the Spartans answered: “Your advice to us, Hydarnes, is not completely sound; one half of it rests on knowledge, but the other on ignorance. You know well how to be a slave, but you, who have never tasted freedom, do not know whether it is sweet or not. Were you to taste of it, not with spears you would counsel us to fight for it, no, but with axes.”[Italics added]

That goes for you too u/rootGoose 💙
Edit: That the rarest Pepe of all, is you!
Never forget how special and unique you are, and the rarest Pepe of all, is you. 💚
You are never alone Pede. You have us, but also you are a Temple where the Holy Spirit dwells and watches over your Soul. Your Creator watches over you from the Heavens 🌌 and our Lord and Savior is guiding you to that same Paradise beyond the Stars, so you may return too the Garden of Eden in a sense because each is the mirror of the other. And you are not stupid if you're on this site, but are among the most intelligent and great men and women to ever grace the Earth, which, in chosing greatness speaks to your own intelligence. God bless you fellow Pede, we love you! 💜
I was hoping to dazzle my fellow Patriots with this cool history fun fact! Now you can impress your friends and family! 😛
You know, I could have swore that he was Robert E. Lee's father as well, but I think u/CannonballJunior is right.
We were both probably thinking of Light Horse Harry Lee!
Apparently Robert E. Lee is 1st cousin 2 times removed to Richard Henry Lee.
Happy Birthday Patriot! 🇺🇸
For you! https://youtu.be/wfSkqMP-L-4
Wikipedia is downright shameful. Look up their pages on Marine Corps. Absolutely butchers our Marines' history. It is an absolute disgrace and my blood boils at the mere thought of Wikipedia!
Just as the last line of our Declaration reads,
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
Yes. July 4rth is when the language and words that constitute our Declaration of Independence was agreed upon!
Fantastic illumination of history Pede, thank you for looking that up for all of us! Godbless you Patriot! 🇺🇸
That is enlightened thinking! I believe I will begin saying the same from this moment on! Thank you Patriot! 🇺🇸
Happy 4̶r̶t̶h̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶J̶u̶l̶y̶ Independence Day!
Our Lord was on our side, so in hindsight it was never really close at all. ;)
Men such as David Avery raised his hands in the midst of battle as bullets whizzed past his ears! He prayed as Moses had in the Israeli battle against the Amalekites!
He raised a force of men from the steps of the church. Not only did he serve the wounded and dyeing but as Moses at war, raised his hands in prayer during the heat of battle.
Wounded at the Battle of Trenton, David Avery was at every major battle during the Revolution.

I agree. Let me share with you this meme I made a while back that expresses the same sentiments. https://i.maga.host/OrtgqTo.jpg
:D My first sticky! Thank you mods! ❤
Yes! I did! I watched Lauren Southern walk around some of South Africa's White Displacement Camps. https://youtu.be/Jq0GReiZyKc Same with the white SA Farmer's cropland. It is seriously Zimbabwe 2.0!
I read the same thing in the Chicago Sun Times. That the news advertises its illiteracy and disrespect for grammar just...
...it makes me weak. Lord, please give me strength to continue this war against insanity.
Who died and crowned them the Kings and Queens of the English language?
That's 💯% TRUTH!!!
