The men of Philadelphia answered their call. The question is — will you? Happy 250 America
We couldn’t be more excited to share that we will be opening up the David Barton Research Center. This Center will serve to educate students who come to our museum from all over the country. This Research Center will stand to honor our friend and historian David Barton and continue out mission to spread the truth of our great nation. @DavidBartonWB @glennbeck
My face when somebody quotes the 1619 project and I know I'm about to blow their mind with the truth.

Today is North Texas Giving Day — and we are asking you to stand with us.
Mercury One has spent 15 years serving this community and communities around the world. Disaster relief. Anti-trafficking efforts. Preserving American history so the next generation knows where they came from. All of it rooted in one mission: restoring the human spirit.
Today, we are raising $10,000 for our Building Fund — which directly supports our new American Journey Experience museum facility, our local disaster relief work, and our efforts to combat sex trafficking right here in the Dallas-Fort Worth region.
One day. One goal. One community making it possible.
Give today at northtexasgivingday.org/orga…

Wait. That happened in American history? How did I not know about that?
That’s what you will think after listening to this podcast.
Watch our very own Director of Education - Elijah O’Neal of @aje1776 - join Eric Metaxas and discuss the untold stories of America’s history.

I warned you in 2008 that the Left would try to erase our history. Under the Biden administration, the National Archives even put trigger warnings on the online versions of the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and other crucial documents. Thankfully, the Trump Administration is working to reverse all of this nonsense. But I'd rather not take any more chances with our history. As much of it as possible MUST be in private hands.
That’s why I am opening a brick-and-mortar @aje1776 museum that will be very different from anything you have ever seen. We are building a place to tell the true, unvarnished story of America. The good, the bad, and yes, progressives, even the very ugly parts. We can’t forget how our nation was built. That's how empires fall.
Miracles don't cluster. What has happened once in 6,000 years may not ever happen again.
The destiny of self-governance is still being written — and just as it was in 1776, its future doesn't rest in the hands of the political ruling class. It rests in the hands of ordinary Americans.
Do not merely admire what was built. Enter into it. Take your place. Learn liberty by living it. Preserve freedom by practicing virtue. Pass this miracle forward.
You are not a spectator of history. You are a guardian of the best hope of man on earth.
The men of Philadelphia answered their call. Will you answer yours?
Thomas Jefferson tried to end slavery in 1769.
He was barely in the Virginia colonial legislature before he put forward legislation to emancipate slaves under the British Crown.
The King vetoed it.
So when Jefferson sat down seven years later and wrote that the King had "suppressed every legislative attempt to prohibit or restrain" the slave trade — that wasn't just a political grievance.
That was personal.
And we almost missed it entirely. This document was sitting in our collection, nearly went on air upside down, and the moment we read it the only question we could ask was — how were we not taught this?
This is robbery of our heritage.
Does knowing this change how you see Jefferson? Drop it in the comments. @glennbeck
Everyone wants to talk about what Jefferson owned.
Nobody wants to talk about what he was fighting against.
In 1775, there was not a single nation on earth that didn't practice slavery. Not one world leader who didn't hold slaves. The founders weren't products of a more enlightened era — there was no more enlightened era. They were creating one.
American exceptionalism doesn't mean America never got it wrong. It means that when America got it wrong, she fought to make it right. Jefferson was in that fight long before 1776 ever arrived.
That's the history they don't teach you. That's why we're here. @glennbeck

Ordinary men did extraordinary things so we could be free.
250 years under our Declaration. 250 years under our Constitution. The longest of any nation in the world.
If you knew what it actually cost — you'd celebrate too.
🧵History has a way of making the impossible seem inevitable — because we know how the story ends.
But on July 4th, 1776, nothing was certain. A thread.
But the story didn't end with them.
Dr. Joseph Warren said it before the first shot was ever fired:
"On you depend the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important question on which rests the happiness and liberty of millions yet unborn."
