In the flurry of patriotic self-reflection on our nation’s 250th anniversary, one thing in particular caught Bill Whittle’s attention: The irreplaceable Glenn Beck’s passionate history of Thomas Jefferson’s first draft of the Declaration of Independence.
Glenn’s story knocked Bill’s socks off so hard he thought it needed to be told as far and as widely as possible… and so here it is.
Bill Whittle leads the discussion in this episode of The Right Angle, joined by Steve Green and Scott Ott.
On America’s 250th Independence anniversary, Susan Kokinda argues that this moment is more profound because Donald Trump and his administration are reviving the “American System” of political economy—tariffs to promote domestic industry, manufacturing, and internal improvements—after it was suppressed following President William McKinley’s assassination in 1901.
She contrasts the American System with the “British System,” citing Henry Carey’s warning of two opposing systems, and says the nation’s economic heritage was replaced by free trade, consumerism, and institutions like the Federal Reserve.
Kokinda connects the Declaration’s appeal to the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God to economics, quoting Lyndon LaRouche on a state shaping a nation’s relationship to the physical universe. She highlights speeches by Jamieson Greer and Scott Bessent on production over consumption, and J.D. Vance’s call for a Hamiltonian approach grounded in human dignity, linking it to the Declaration’s “pursuit of happiness” over “property.” Here’s more from Promethean Updates.
Did you know that the original draft of the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson, contained a fiery passage that outlawed slavery and laid the blame for the atrocious practice squarely at the feet of King George III? Jefferson’s closest advisors in shaping the Declaration, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin, went along with the abolition of slavery.
But when the Declaration of Independence was approved by the Second Continental Congress, meeting in a hot and sealed-off chambers in Philadelphia in July of 1776, the delegates representing the 13 colonies wrestled over the document tooth and comb, and the passage abolishing slavery was thrown out, mostly owing to the objections of the delegates from Georgia and South Carolina. Here’s Glenn Beck with the full story, a rarely shared twist of American history.
A new CNN poll says only 29% of Democrats are proud to be American. Bridget Phetasy asked her audience what they love about this country — and got hundreds of responses. The four things that came up most: Free speech, the founding documents, guns, and the freedom to build your own life.
The people who felt it most weren’t born here. They were immigrants, refugees, and World Cup tourists who showed up expecting the country the media described and found something completely different. This is Dumpster Fire’s love letter to America on its 250th birthday.
Trump with all of his Executive Orders is now forcing the shadow government out into the open. The light is now shining on them and the people can see who they are.
This will get worse for the [Deep State]. The Democrats are trying to defend the criminal activity and the message is backwards.
The [Deep State] is losing the information war. Trump has moved the Declaration of Independence into the Oval office. Liberation day starts on April 2. Here’s more from the X22 Report.
Mel K joins Redacted News to discuss her new book Americans Anonymous: Restoring Power To The People One Citizen At A Time. That’s a mouthful, but here, Mel K outlines what exactly that means. She talks about the U.S. Constitution, resurrecting our Bill of Rights and heeding the lofty sentiments of the Declaration of Independence.
The Agenda 2030, pushed by the globalists, must be rolled back. We cannot sit back while the World Economic Forum and United Nations strip away our God-given rights. She offers concrete steps on how we can organize to protect our rights and thwart the invasion of our privacy. Here’s more from Clayton Morris on Redacted News.
Rights don’t come from a Constitution, a Bill of Rights or any document at all. The Tenth Amendment Center’s Michael Bodin says our natural rights come from your Creator and you have them by the nature of your humanity.
Boldin says even civil rights are built on the foundation of natural rights. These were widely-held views from the founders and old revolutionaries. In this episode of “Path To Liberty,” Boldin dives into the Declaration of Independence to highlight our forefathers’ view on natural rights. Here’s more.
