Who are the unseen Biden handlers always chasing the media away? From: Ben Bartee/The Daily Bell. They never appear in front of the cameras. No one voted for them.
Everything's getting way more dangerous and way more stupid. From: Caitlin Johnstone. We're on a bus that's being driven straight toward a cliff, and it's being driven by infants.

🤐 At high school debates, debate is no longer allowed. From: James Fishback/The Free Press. At national tournaments, judges are making their stances clear: students who argue ‘capitalism can reduce poverty’ or ‘Israel has a right to defend itself’ will lose—no questions asked.

Mugged by reality? Or respectful of common sense? From: Michael Barone/Creators.

The Declaration of Independence was the first formal statement by a nation’s people asserting their right to choose their own government.
IT IS OUR TURN
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,-That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such ... Government's purpose was to serve the people. Paine described government as a “necessary evil,” which existed to give people a structure so they could work together to solve problems and prosper. But to do that, it had to be responsive to people’s needs. -- When armed conflict between bands of American colonists and British soldiers began in April 1775, the Americans were ostensibly fighting only for their rights as subjects of the British crown. By the following summer, with the Revolutionary War in full swing, the movement for independence from Britain had grown, and delegates of the Continental Congress were faced with a vote on the issue. In mid-June 1776, a five-man committee including Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin was tasked with drafting a formal statement of the colonies’ intentions. The Congress formally adopted the Declaration of Independence—written largely by Jefferson—in Philadelphia on July 4, a date now celebrated as the birth of American independence.
