Who Are We, America?

Podcaster Joe Rogan blasted what he described as a “push towards communism” among young Americans as he spoke to legendary comedian Yakov Smirnoff, who grew up in the USSR. Smirnoff, a Soviet-born comedian who became popular in the U.S. in the 1980s, described to Rogan how he and his father would secretly listen to Voice of America, a U.S. government-funded international news broadcaster, late at night, knowing that they would get in trouble if anybody knew. He also described how his mother was greatly concerned over what might happen if others found out that they were yearning for America

Walter William Safar

Dear Americans,The DSA Platform Would Destroy American Democracy O yeah: Socialism Is the Road to Communism.

Protesters in Los Angeles were filmed burning and spitting on American flags as they chanted anti-Trump slogans over the weekend. 

TDcameraman: Dear brothers and sisters,Why Is America The Symbol of Freedom?

To me the American flag has always been a direct representation of the American people.

Not the government. Not a political party. Not perfection.

The people.

Our hopes, our dreams, our victories , and our belief that tomorrow can be better than today.

The flag flies high, and I believe our goals should too.

Is America perfect? No. The only perfection I know is Jesus Christ. But I am grateful to live in a country where I have the freedom to worship God above all else, speak my mind, chase my dreams, and help my neighbor do the same.

The flag is…
The farmer waking before the crack of dawn.
The folded triangle handed to a mother at her son’s grave.
The addict who got clean, fighting for one more chance.
The single mom raising three kids on her own.
The cowboy riding fences until the stars come out.
The small town factory worker handed a pink slip after twenty years.
The nurse working a double shift when the world is asleep.
The teacher pouring belief into the next generation.
The protestor shouting because they believe America can be better.
The welder with scarred, but steady hands.
The artist, painting our story in color and song.
The immigrant, clutching a dream with calloused hands.
The police officer’s family waiting at home, praying he makes it back.

The flag is all of us.

The flag is the people of the United States of America.

The beautiful thing about the United States of America is that no matter who you are, what color your skin is, who you worship, or what your opinions may be, you are free to put in the work and make something of yourself.

Is it easy? For some, maybe it is, because they were born into privilege.

For others, building something greater than themselves will take everything they’ve got.

Life isn’t fair. It never will be.

But I am grateful to live in a country that allows me the freedom to try. To build, to fail, to rise, and to keep going. The freedom to lift my fellow man. The freedom to have a voice. The freedom to make God my number one. That’s why I love this country so much. 

Just the Facts by WWS 

Dear TDS, you sound distraught. Relax, hopefully you will have visitors this weekend. Chin up, tomorrow is Red Jello Day …O yeah, biden admin open border costs are near $1.5 Trillion !!! Also, dems would have gas near $8/gal avg by now for sure.. And yeahhh … Tax the rich equals what ? Increased costs for consumers and stalled wages !! Dems want to increase taxes and remove tax breaks.. Reps give tax breaks so people/businesses have extra cash to spend..its the economy..

Dear DSA , Pipe down Tucker ...Iran committing crimes against humanity by concealing fate of thousands of slaughtered political dissidents – Amnesty International…Dear DSA, antisemitism is prejudice, hatred, or discrimination directed against Jews as individuals or as a group; often based on harmful stereotypes, slanders, and conspiracy theories, including Holocaust denial and dehumanization; or hatred of Jewish institutions, religious places and facilities. It can be made manifest through speech, writing, or violence; and often blames Jews for the ills and challenging issues of society, attributing them to imaginary conspiracies. Projecting antisemitism upon the State of Israel through conspiracy- theorizing is a convenient, but transparent dodge.

Exclusive |President Trump Rejects Iran Ceasefire.There is no diplomatic solution with the IRGC, they’ve been terrorizing the world since they took power in the late 1970’s. They’ve been murdering our people since they stole power and Trump is right to finally put an end to their tyrannical regime and free the world of its terrorist behavior. Democrats’ Iran ‘war crimes’ hypocrisy exposed .After the November election Trump is going to destroy Iran. The only reason he is not taking action before the election is it would adversely affect the republicans. The golden opportunity for a favorable deal for Iran is slipping away…

U.S. to Blockade Ships Entering or Exiting Iranian Ports –This is a calculated move. The Strait of Hormuz handles about a fifth of the world’s seaborne oil. Iran tried to keep a stranglehold — charging fees, scaring ships away with mines they claim to have “lost track of.” Letting that stand rewards bad actors and leaves global energy at the mercy of one regime. Trump flipped it: blockade any ship trying to enter or leave until traffic flows clean, no more payoffs, and start clearing the mines. Our destroyers already passed through once and dropped an Iranian drone — showing we mean business.

Trump’s betting bold action delivers better results than letting the mooks keep playing games. It’s risky but necessary. (WSJ / Business Insider survey just out says that 72% of Americans support continued military action against Iran since Iran bailed on diplomatic talks. 80% of Americans want voter ID and democrats are ignoring that too. DEMS don’t need to beruthless; they need to hear the people and respond. Men in women’s sports, no IDto vote and register to vote, protecting  illegal immigrants  … and the list goes on….These are all losing propositions.

O yeah, So muchTDSaround. Applying military pressure on Iran while keeping the door open to negotiations is not weakness; it is leverage. Serious nations have long understood that diplomacy is most effective when backed by credible strength. The Man in the Arena.

One is left to conclude that the objection is often not to the policy itself, but to the person implementing it. Were the identical strategy pursued by a different president, it would likely be praised as pragmatic, balanced, and statesmanlike. Reasonable people may debate tactics, timing, or outcomes. But to criticize strength when it is applied, and diplomacy when it is offered, suggests that the real grievance lies less with the substance of the policy than with the name attached to it.Everyone Needs to hear This……

When Common Sense Fails..The amount of TDS one sees on many platforms is depressing. Rather than discuss the issues like adults, many resort to “Epstein”, “felon”, “January 6”, and similar epithets. Trump is not perfect, no one is. But in taking on Iran, he has done something all of his predecessors- and that includes Saint Obama- were afraid to do.The Dark Side of Ideology .

Iranians are begging for Trump’s help……. Pope Leo condemns Iran war…...??? I was a big supporter of the current Pope and a loyal Catholic but I have to say I think Trump is right here. Iranians beg for Trump’s help to topple Islamic regime …

I would rather he took some time and made a responsible proclamation that was morally responsible and supported human rights for the Iranian people(Did Iran’s Brutal Crackdown Kill 32,000 Protesters?).  “When I look at the divine sun that melts human souls into harmony like a heavenly blacksmith, I think to myself: ‘If people would love each other like the sun loves all of us, the world would be a fairy tale’..” Protesters in Iran are begging US President Donald Trump to launch military action to help topple the Islamic regime.“We pray to God, (Trump) will do something”   …. ‘Don’t Let Them Kill Us’“ I don’t know much about victories, but I am sure of one thing, that compassion is a victory of the human spirit.” True faith is found in compassion.

What’s weird is i can’t find a single post or comment the pope has made about the terrorist Iranian regime…I just wonder why Leo would have comments about Trump waging war but never mentioning Iran’s murdering thousands of its citizens,funding terrorism which has killed thousands of innocents and committed atrocities all over the world including Oct.7th? It just seems odd he would overlook those facts and criticize the US attempt to make the world safer, and that’s not even getting into the Iranian pursuit of nuclear material which would result in their possession of nuclear weapons. (According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran had an estimated 972 pounds of 60%-enriched uranium as of June 2025. Experts say 60% enriched material is a short step from the 90% needed for nuclear weapons-grade levels.)

Face facts- this regime will never give up their mission to kill anyone who is not of their religion that they have twisted to bizarre conclusions. It’s not just Israel and America they want to vanquish, it’s Christians and Jewish people worldwide.Once and for all. The Persian people do not want to continue to be ruled by the Islamic Jihadist regime The Persian people are not Islamic, many of them are Christians. Every one of the “negotiators” from Iran are of the top tier of the Islamic regime. This two weeks “ceasefire” is a stall tactic. There.are several articles about an intelligence report that China is sending air defence weapons, through other countries to try to hide who’s supplying them. They should reach Iran in about 2 weeks. Iran was never serious about peace talks.

I don’t like war just like everyone else but the fanatical Iranian regime has shown over and over that they are unwilling to act rationally.Trump needs to finish the job on Iran . and very important message: Europe Cannot Sit Out the Iran War.

Dear EU&Americans: Important Message ,The HISTORIC and EMOTIONAL speech by Marco Rubio in MUNICH that moved everyone.

We Believe in God O yeah, I Confess, My Lord , I was a skeptic too during my youth, believing only those things that can be seen with one’s eyes. Still, now that my life’s ship is sailing faster than it ever did on this ocean of temptation, I can safely say that the human soul is the sacred home to our fragile humanity.The Lord’s most merciful gift to mankind is the freedom to choose. This is why every person has the freedom to choose between good and evil. Since the moment of birth, people fight the two selves within, the good one and the bad one. The choice between good and evil depends on the strength of the human spirit. If I Could Fly Like A Bird
