This week, we cautiously and with trepidation anticipate the celebration of July 4th in remembrance of our great country winning independence from under the rule of England. So why do I use the descriptive words “cautiously” and “trepidation” when this is typically a day of joyous celebratory parties and BBQs in backyards, parks, and beaches commencing in nighttime fireworks displays? Because most Americans are asking and concerned about, “Whose rule are we under now?”
During the June 27th presidential debate between former President Trump and current President Biden, the world could no longer deny that Biden is president in title only. It doesn’t matter your political or religious persuasion, nationality, or ideology . . . it’s evident to the world that someone else, or a cabal, is running our country and probably has been since January 22, 2021. Americans aren’t truly free or independent right now. An unelected person or people are making decisions and executive actions destroying our free republic. We’re entitled to know who ‘they’ are. Instead of pondering and speculating, Congress should be demanding and investigating answers!
Hal Lindsey put it best in his blog of June 30, 2024:
“If you watched the US Presidential debate on June 27th, you don’t need me to tell you what you saw. If you are a Democrat, the debate probably left you at least somewhat troubled. If you are a Republican, you probably feel that your guy won. Still, I don’t see Republicans dancing in the street. (Come to think of it, I’ve never seen Republicans dancing in the street.) You might expect exuberance from Republicans at so large a perceived victory. Instead, I see Americans of all political persuasions held in the grip of a deep sense of unease.”
Did you ever think we would be living in a time when love of country, respect for the American Flag, and standing for the National Anthem would become controversial? Who is deeming patriotism as racist, toxic, and deplorable?
The federal government is attempting to divide Americans into identity groups and pit them against each other. Children are taught in school to judge each other by skin color and question their own biological gender! Young children are castrated with their bodies surgically mutilated while a “Biden” trans official pressures the woke organization “The World Professional Association of Transgender Health” (WPATH) to eliminate limits on sex-change procedures for minors?! (Did you even know there was an association like that?)
A radial climate hoax is ruining our economy while millions of unvetted illegals from all countries, including our enemies, storm our open borders. Men invade women’s sports and private areas. DEI replaces Dependable, Expert, Intelligent, and even Skilled. College students protest in favor of terrorists . . . and the list goes on and on and on . . .
Can America Be Saved?
It’s alarming what’s happening in our federal and some state governments, but what’s even more alarming is that many people think merely electing someone else will solve all our problems. It will certainly help, but since the current administration’s agenda is demonic, the only real way to fight Satan is with a populace who understands and appreciates the power of God and persistent prayer while voting their values and beliefs! America must repent and turn to God not government to save our country.
Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’”
Hal Lindsey continues . . .
“We have good reason for concern. As a nation, we are not embracing the self-discipline needed to maintain liberty. We are not repentant over our national sins. The nation tends to put its hope in men and technology — not in God. . . Maybe your side’s winning in the presidential race this year, or maybe — for the moment at least — it’s not. Either way, this is a time for humility and repentance. We are in trouble as a nation, and the answer is to turn to God our Father.”
I love the song “God Bless the USA” by Lee Greenwood, and I sing along with him, especially the lines, “I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free.” But I’m even prouder to be a Christian American! A follower of Jesus Christ.
The current administrative cabal and the Democrat party are not loyal to America or proud to be American. They continually denounce us as a racist country and claim half the population, at least those who are conservative, Christian, white, drive pickups, and wave American flags, are a threat to our country?!
Instead, they’re attempting to see how far to the extreme Socialist, Communist, Marxist, tribal, racist, liberal, progressive left they can take America. They’re turning America into a country our forefathers wouldn’t recognize. A country where men and women of all colors gave, and continue to give, their lives to defend.
If you’re saying don’t make the 4th of July political—Independence Day marked the initiation of politics!
A Pop 4th of July Quiz
Have you watched a man-on-the-street interview asking people if they know facts about our country’s history? It’s embarrassing. I wonder how many could answer questions about the 4th of July and why it’s a national holiday?
“What does July 4th stand for?”
- From what country did America fight to win their freedom?
- Why is July 4th Independence Day?
- What year was the Declaration of Independence signed and adopted?
- What is the significance of 13 stripes and 50 stars?
- Why are our patriotic colors red, white, and blue?
- What does a national flag represent?
- Why are caskets of fallen soldiers wrapped in the American flag?
- Why do we have fireworks on the 4th of July?
How about asking these questions and offering a prize to the one who knows the most answers at your 4th of July gathering. Here’s a website with a succinct overview: History of the Fourth of July – Brief History & Early Celebrations – HISTORY
So much of our history is lost in a culture that is trying to rewrite it and has forgotten our Christian roots. Liberal left progressive politicians want to erase our heritage as if it never happened and turn a republic of freedoms into a country of government socialistic control. They make it sound like the freedom of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness isn’t as valuable as the carrots they dangle of free healthcare, free college, free immigration free… free…which the naïve lap up without realizing nothing is free. Americans will pay the price with the loss of sovereignty and personal freedoms that so many brave soldiers gave their life to grant each of us. It will cost us dearly in taxes, independence, and quality of life.
Since the Biden cabal and “sanctuary states” want to give illegals free health insurance, they’ll need to put more than a 70% increase on our taxes to pay for it. How good do you think that healthcare is going to be when stretched to the limits with no money to back it and millions of extra people getting it for “free?” That’s why whoever is running the White House hasn’t given specifics of how they would achieve this.
Some politicians have said we’re the only major country without socialized healthcare. What Americans need to remember is the entire point of July 4th is we didn’t want to be like other nations. Other nations come to America for medical treatment. People are not migrating to other countries or invading other country’s borders; they come to America because we aren’t like other nations. The White House cabal has put out the welcome mat at the expense and threat to American citizens who are being murdered, raped, and robbed.
We Must Return to Our Roots!
For those who try to say we weren’t founded on Judeo Christian values, how do you explain our currency’s motto, “In God We Trust” NOT “In the government we trust”? While the liberal progressive socialist left tries moving our country away from God, Christians must stand in the gap and keep America a blessed nation under God.
The 4th of July celebrates the fight for freedom to be different from other countries. A republic of the people, by the people, and for the people. Where the government works for us NOT controls us.
As you plan your festivities—parades, BBQs, fireworks, pool parties, trips to the beach—how about starting those events with the Pledge of Allegiance, singing the National Anthem, and a prayer to God who has allowed us to live in this great country.
Remind children at the gatherings why you’re celebrating this holiday. Our generation must pass down to the next generation our country’s history and why we don’t want to repeat past mistakes. God has allowed each American to live in the greatest nation in the world, so far. Have you ever opened your eyes in the morning and said thank you God I’m an American? If we take God, freedom, and patriotism out of America, we won’t be able to say that anymore.
Let’s take a stand for what the majority of American people really want and deserve— A country that honors God and His Word first and foremost! Honors our flag and those who went before us to secure our freedoms. A fair justice system that adheres to the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution of the United States of America!
May God bless America and may America be worthy of His blessing!
The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name. Zech. 14:9

Thank you, thank you for another well-written and concise summary of our country’s “devilish dilemma” in a cabal-controlled collusion of destruction; not only with the diminishing sovereignty of our country, but at all levels of our core belief system. I am proud that I could answer every one of those 4th of July questions correctly! We are having a gathering on the 4th, and I am going to read-aloud this blog as a centerpiece of our meal together.
As the wife, and mom of 3 military soldiers (two who have served in Iraq/Afghanistan) I can tell you it burns through the heart of the military community every time a fallen returns to us, and it will never get old. Likewise, it should never be forgotten in the hearts and minds of our countrymen each time one lays down his/her life to hold the line of our freedoms….or what’s left of it.
These freedom-fighters will stand in eternity along side those who have courageously gone before them. They are the ones who honored the unique calling to duty to serve in harms, way at all costs….and surrendered their lives in the preservation of liberty. We can only hope and pray their final deployment was straight to the arms of Jesus, for the ultimate sacrifice they gave to us….that we continue to honor and treasure a priceless independence…..while we still have it!
Congratulations you could answer all the quiz questions and thank you for sharing this blog at your July 4th celebration!! Our son retired from the Navy as an officer, his son is an officer currently in the Navy, and my husband is an Air Force Veteran. When Biden forgot the 13 servicemembers killed in Afghanistan during the debate falsely saying no military was killed during his presidency, I wanted to throw something at the TV!! All I could think of were those Gold Star families which his campaign also lies that he called. They all said the only thing they received from him in these 3 years since that disastrous day was a form letter and they’ve been denied a meeting with him.
Let’s also not forget the wholesale devaluation Hillary handed out over the Benghazi attack and tragic deaths, by obfuscating for months about her role and lack of performance. In a senate testimony she sums it all up by saying in an angry tone along with chopping motions of her hands for emphasis “what does it matter now??” Never mind she was illegally using her private email account for official state department matters….
That was covert evil that reared up it’s ugly head then. The only difference now in this administration is evil is blatantly overt, and without any shame attached to it. They have become experts at gaslighting the public with lies and deceit, knowing that if you propagandize it continuously it eventually can become truth to the less informed. Then it becomes a cancer that grows it’s tentacles into the majority…..that’s how Hitler did it…..
