WASHINGTON EXAMINER
Freedom is a promise. Let’s keep it

Every year on the Fourth of July, we gather. We watch fireworks light the sky, we wave flags, and we celebrate the birth of a nation built on an extraordinary idea that freedom is worth fighting for. But honoring that freedom requires more than a backyard barbecue. It requires memory with purpose.
Like many Americans, I understand sacrifice, having served over 23 years in the Army Reserve and the Iowa Army National Guard, including a deployment to Kuwait and Iraq as a company commander during Operation Iraqi Freedom. I led troops in harm’s way and came home when others didn’t. I have informed loved ones when their sons died in the line of duty. Those experiences shape everything about how you see the world, how you choose to serve your country, and what your country means to you.
Sept. 11, 2001, formed an entire generation of heroic Americans.

Declaration of Independence: The greatest public affairs campaign in American history
By Kerri Toloczko
Published July 4, 2026 7:00am ET
As America celebrates its 250th birthday, we should reflect on the eternal wisdom of the Founding Fathers, who put words to action on principles that have bound our nation since 1776.
Looking back, we think of the non-military parts of independence as relatively easy — a room of guys in Philadelphia (“brotherly love”) who were best buddies and plotted the creation of the greatest nation in the world in complete agreement. Right? Not so much.
Before Americans won the Revolutionary War with courage, tenacity, and guns, we had to win the battle for public opinion. And before that, 56 key players with quills had to buy into one declarative plan that was the 1776 political version of a nuclear explosion.
It worked. Leaders agreed, as did most colonials, when a message called “The Declaration” gave them something to coalesce around, even if they disagreed over some details.

America's 250th Birthday Marked by Fireworks, Heat
Saturday, 04 July 2026 09:18 AM EDT
The 250th anniversary of American independence is colliding with a country gripped by political polarization and a heat wave bearing down on millions of people across multiple states as celebrations get underway across the United States on Saturday.
The signing of the Declaration of Independence, one of history's most celebrated articulations of democratic ambitions, is being marked in myriad ways.
President Donald Trump, set to take a central role in festivities, plans to speak on the National Mall in Washington ahead of what's being billed as a historically enormous fireworks show that will rain down over the nation's capital.
The president was in South Dakota at Mount Rushmore on Friday, where he delivered a dark speech about the threat of communism in the U.S. as the chiseled images of four of his most prominent predecessors loomed behind him.
Elsewhere, fireworks are scheduled to be set off Saturday over Navy Pier in Chicago and against the skyline of New York City, which also hosted a ball drop at midnight to usher in the holiday with the same fanfare as New Year's Eve.
Bristol, Rhode Island, describes itself as home of the nation's oldest Independence Day celebrations dating to 1785.

America First Has Never Meant America Alone
Many people today think that nationalism and alliances cannot go together. But American history shows the opposite.

Commentary
The phrase “America First” is once again a major topic in American politics. Some people see it as a call to restore national sovereignty and focus on issues at home. Others think it means pulling back from foreign commitments and questioning the value of alliances. But history shows these ideas are not the same.
The United States has often put its own interests first. However, it has rarely succeeded when trying to pursue those interests by itself.
America First has never meant America Alone.
The United States was founded with help from allies. The victory at Yorktown happened because George Washington’s army worked together with French...

Trump Warns China Is Trying to Take Panama Canal, Links Threat to Communism
At a July 1 speech honoring Theodore Roosevelt, Trump called communism America’s greatest threat.

President Donald Trump said July 1 that China is “trying to take over the Panama Canal” and vowed the United States won’t “let that happen,” folding the warning into a broader speech that called communism the greatest threat to the country.
Trump made the remarks at the opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora, North Dakota, where he praised Roosevelt’s role in building the canal and criticized the United States’ decision to transfer it to Panama.
“Now China is trying to take over the Panama Canal, and we’re not going to let that happen,” Trump said.
The speech, which did not announce a new canal measure, came after months of U.S. statements on Chinese pressure on Panama-flagged vessels and Beijing’s role in port terminals at opposite ends of the canal.

Greenland is still a priority for the U.S. president, U.S. special envoy to Greenland Jeff Landry indicated on July 1.
Landry, a Republican who also serves as Louisiana’s governor, told Breitbart’s Alex Marlow that he had recently spoken with President Donald Trump and that the president mentioned Greenland, the Arctic territory that currently belongs to Denmark.
Asked by Marlow about the situation regarding the huge island, Landry said Trump spoke to him on Saturday night and told him, “We need to get Greenland.”
“He’s not forgotten about it,” the governor added.

250 Years Ago: The Declaration of Independence—The Crucial Days of July 1776
The need for unanimity of the colonies on the issue of independence led to tense days leading up to the signing of the country’s birth certificate.

As Britain’s invasion fleet arrived off New York, delegates in Philadelphia voted to transform 13 colonies into the United States of America.
The British army had been driven from Boston on March 17, 1776, but Gen. George Washington knew the enemy would return. He correctly predicted they would strike New York City. Its capture would secure one of America’s finest harbors while giving Britain control of the North River—today’s Hudson River—which nearly bisected New England from the other colonies.
To meet the threat, Washington and his staff arrived on New York Island, now known as Manhattan, on April 13 and began transforming the city and its surrounding heights into an armed camp. He also established a network of signal stations on Long Island, Staten Island, and Manhattan to provide early warning of the British fleet’s approach.

KEYSTONE, S.D.—A day before America’s 250th Independence Day, Mount Rushmore will serve as the majestic backdrop for a speech from President Donald Trump—capped by a show-stopping $700,000 fireworks display.
Trump and world-renowned fireworks creators, Pyro Spectaculars Inc., are both returning to the famous South Dakota landmark for a reprise of Trump’s 2020 visit.
At that time, the California fireworks company lit up the night sky after Trump became the nation’s fifth president to deliver a speech at the iconic national memorial, following presidents Calvin Coolidge, Franklin D. Roosevelt, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush.
