‘The Shot Heard Round the World’, Again….
By: D.W. Wilber
The founding fathers rebelled against a distant ruling class. They fired the shot heard around the world in that effort. They fought a revolution. They wrote a Declaration of Independence that states why we sound dissolve our ties to that elite power. We have God given inalienable rights as created equals. We have a constitution that protects those God given rights. Today we have wandered away from our firm foundation and the bi coastal secular progressive elites have become to us what the British Empire used to be. We are not their subjects and will get out from under their Jack boot on our necks. President Trump is both the symbol of our resistance and the tool we will use to liberate ourselves from the dystopian nightmare of the present regime and the deep state. We will not apologize for Jan 6, and will retake America and restore life, liberty, and freedom by the ballot box.

Every American youngster, at least before the progressive liberals took over control of our education system’s curriculums, learned in elementary school about “The shot heard round the world.” The story about how our American ancestors stood up to British tyranny in Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts on April 19, 1775. I myself have an ancestor named Truman Wright who stood shoulder to shoulder on the Lexington Green with the other American patriots and resisted the “Red Coats,” only to be fired upon by the British soldiers. The bodies of eight of their countrymen lay at their feet as they withdrew from the British Regulars.
Later the British moved on to Concord where they were met by the American ‘Minute Men’, a rag-tag collection of farmers, tradesmen and shopkeepers who met and repulsed the British, which at the time was considered the most powerful, most professional, and best equipped army in the world. This set the stage for America’s eventual independence from the tyrannical rule of a distant ruling class and King. Not just distant geographically, but in every other way distant from the people in America they ruled over. Fast forward to the present day where Americans once again find themselves under the tyrannical thumb of a ruling class who also are distant in so many ways from their ‘subjects’.
Take Nancy Pelosi as an example. Pelosi is probably the most vile and insulting elected official that I can recall in my sixty-seven revolutions around the sun. To watch her in a news conference as she spews out one disjointed lie after another, while she spastically waves around and gestures for emphasis, either honestly believing that Americans are too stupid to see through her lies, or not caring that we do. Pelosi is a perfect example of the ruling class that lorded over Americans back in 1775, and who continue to do so today.
Why did seventy-five million or more Americans vote for Donald Trump, and why do they continue to flock to his rallies by the thousands, tens of thousands in many cases? Do every one of them believe everything he says, or do they like everything he does? Certainly not. To tell the truth President Trump ticked me off probably at least once, sometimes more than that each and every day for four years. But I, as so many others, didn’t vote twice for the man because we loved everything he said or did. He produced results and kept promises.
Millions voted for Trump because he wasn’t one of the career politicians we had grown to despise with every fiber of our being. He offered us what we believed was a chance to regain control of our government from the professional, ruling elites. The very people who promise us during their campaign speeches and commercials that they “are going to fight for us”. What a load of horse manure!
The career politicians like Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, and Joe Biden have spent decades in Washington stroking their own egos and enriching themselves, their families, and their close friends. How many of you have ever poured out your heart in a letter or e-mail to your congressperson or senator about an issue you genuinely cared strongly about, only to receive a "form letter" response which reads just like a campaign speech, and usually ends with a plea for money? And always from some career office aide whose job it is to respond to the great unwashed.
How many of you ever received a phone call or a personal letter from your representatives up in Washington? Yes, I know they are busy people and can’t spend their days answering correspondence from thousands of constituents, they’d never get any of the important work done that we send them to Washington to do. Americans understand that. But our elected officials generally aren’t getting any important work done anyway. And when we see politicians like Pelosi and others stand before the press and TV cameras and bald-faced lie to us it’s enraging. When we see them focus all of their energies on doing what’s politically good for their particular party over what’s good for hard working Americans, we are outraged.
What happened on January 6th was indeed a sad chapter in our nation’s history that Americans had become so angry that they attacked the U.S. Capitol building. Americans had and do have every right to protest on the steps of the United States Capitol, it’s OURS, not the politicians who are temporarily occupying an office inside. How many State of the Union Addresses have been disrupted by protestors who were INVITED IN for that very purpose by members of the Democrat party! It has happened repeatedly from them over the last twenty or more years. I scratch my head trying to remember any time that a Republican member of Congress invited a protestor in to heckle a Democrat president.
The elites and career politicians would do well to consider that there may one day be another ‘shot heard round the world’ that our children and children’s children will learn about in school. The time when common Americans stormed the ballot box and took their country back, and held people accountable.

Right on time
20% of the article was about them but it was enough to trigger the band width tantrum above. That the author has an ancestor who took part in that was interesting. The founding fathers and the ideas/ideals they advocated for are the very core and fiber of what we are and what it means to be an American.
Said every nationalist ever throughout the history of mankind about his or her country.
yawn...
The secular progressive left have been denigrating and belittling the founding fathers and their founding documents since the late 19th century. Their other agenda is to conflate all Americans expressions of patriotism and love of country with some dangerous manifestations elsewhere in inferior nations of the past. America is an exceptional nation because of the wisdom of our founding fathers and the Declaration of Independence and constitution they authored. There is nothing wrong with expressions of pride in that and love of country that normal Americans share.
The scumbag that wrote this article is praising the scumbag that tried to steal the last election and incited a violent riot at the nation's capitol.
Thats really all you need to know.
We don’t need a corporate income tax rate higher than Communst China. Corporations don’t pay it anyway. We do. Through higher consumer prices and or lower worker wages and benefits or production moved off shore to where taxes are lower. The current lower rate brought hundreds of thousands of jobs back home from abroad. No gain there.
When my remaining parent dies, why should myself and my siblings or any other family have to pay taxes to receive from them that which they already paid taxes on? We already have a death tax at too high a rate.
A wealth tax. You want people to after paying income taxes, sales taxes, capital gains taxes, and property taxes on what they have accumulated to pay another tax on top of all that?
We don’t need a bigger and weaponized IRS. We’ve seen their bias and punitive actions enough already. They don’t need to know about every $600.00 transaction I make or see my savings or retirement accounts. This kind of repression simply leads to more lawyers for shelters and more money kept abroad provided economic growth and jobs to more deserving nations and their citizens.
Trump gave incentives to companies that unsourced jobs back home and penalized companies that offshored jobs.
You proposed initiatives above would lead to a net loss of revenues, not to any gains.
So you parent is worth more than $11 MILLION Xx?
If that's true and they were still paying taxes they should hire decent fucking CPA RIGHT NOW!
Seriously, get educated.
Democrats are still as stupid as the day is long.
Raise corporate tax rates from 21% to 28%. US corporations will offshore their headquarters and move their production overseas again. This time they will not be stupid enough to be lured back by the next Republican that cuts things back. Also, for the billionth damn time- businesses don't pay taxes!!!! Any extra costs will either be passed along to the consumer; businesses will cut costs- meaning labor or salaries; or if they can't do that they will not be able to compete and will go out of business. The only entities that will profit from this are our overseas competitors in China, Russia, Europe, and everywhere else. Their governments prop up businesses to compete on a world wide level. All of them would like to that moronic Democrats everywhere in the US for making life so much easier for them.
Stop heirs of multi-millionaires and billionaires form dodging taxes on inheritances The Democrats pretending to be smarter than everyone else again. Look at the richest members of Congress- there are as many Democrats on the list as Republicans. Think they haven't already figured out how to dodge any new inheritance tax? Instead of having to wait until they die they will simply start dispersing money and assists before they die. Or, failing to do that offshore their wealth where the US government cannot hope to touch it. If all else fails they will renounce their US citizenship. They can still live in the US; and still be safely insulated from any onerous taxes that Democrats seek to impose. Money buys privilege. I am sure the US can survive w/o their tax revenue.
Make ultra-millionaires and billionaires pay a two-cent tax on wealth over $50 million. The hypocritical bitch- she is worth about 12 million. Why should she get off from paying. Why was the bar set at $50 million? Isn't $12 million too much damn money? Same as above- the rich will offshore their money where the US government cannot reach it. If all else fails they will renounce their citizenship; and just live in the US.
Provide the IRS with the resources to go after wealthy tax cheats. The fucking stupidity of Democrats and the left. Think those extra IRS agents are going to target a tax class that already has the highest % targeted rate? No, they have an entire middle class that is largely untouched; and millions upon millions of poor that they never touch- because the poor (the ones that take from Federal government) far outnumber the rich and middle class. Yeah, they will only target the rich- what a load of fucking BS.
End Trump tax breaks for corporations that ship jobs and profits offshore. All this will mean is that all corporations that are able will ship jobs and profits offshore before the law takes affect. Leaving any US businesses that can't to cope with disadvantage. Next time these corporations won't be nearly as stupid as to bring these jobs and profits back to the US the next time a Republican President and Congress change the tax codes.
By the way- your stupid meme doesn't come close to paying the Democrat POS reconciliation bill even at 3.5 trillion dollars.
Without a doubt for reasons as you stated above and more.
You get educated! Lose the class envy and coveting of your neighbors possessions. I was making a point which is why I added or any other family in my comment you tried to make personal. I’m your worst enemy in that I’m a working/middle class person who does not begrudge the small business family or family ranch/farm their assets when the head of the family passes away.
That's a lot of blathering to avoid answering the question Xx.
Your 'point' is moot if your parents aren't worth at least $11 MILLION.
Mine weren’t/aren’t but that’s not the point. The point is that we don’t need to break up family farms and businesses to pay still more taxes. It just protects the super rich and mega corporations from competition by using nature to break up potential competitors just as they could move into position to supplant them.
You don't HAVE a point Xx.
I made my point. You are now just making it personal because I don’t covet my neighbors stuff nor do I engage in class envy.
Again, you don't have one.
You're the one that brought up the inheritance tax Xx.
Oh and BTFW, if your wealthy parent paid capitol gains taxes, they no longer OWN the asset and therefore you wouldn't inherit a fucking thing...
Oh and PRIOR to paying capitol gains taxes, your wealthy parent paid NO income tax on that asset.
In short, you have no clue what you're talking about.
People pay income taxes on their income and property taxes on their property when they are alive. They also pay cap gains and dividends taxes on their mutual funds. As to stocks, the capital gains taxes come due when they are sold. If the parent never sells, the child would be liable for them when they sell the asset. They should not have to pay on unrealized gains because mom died.
Again, you have no clue what you are talking about Xx.
We all recognize that some, possibly many, Trumpists are proud that Trumpist storm troopers conducted a violent insurrection on January 6th, are proud that scores of Capitol police officers were seriously injured, are proud of the blatant displays of racism and anti-Semitism, are proud to declare themselves enemies of our American state, are proud of their un-American authoritarian and fascistic ideology, are proud of their lies.
When you're proud of all that, why would you apologize?
There was no violent insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021. That is a lie told by the deep state and big tech media. There was no planned event inside the capitol by Trump or anyone else. There were a few extremists manipulated by FBI informants to enter but no evidence of any plan. So, no, Jan 6 was no event as bad or worse than Pearl Harbor or 9-11-01. There was no insurrection. Those who did attack police or do vandalism will be punished. The rest is a big nothing burger and that’s all. That and the murder of Ashi Babbitt. The real violence, looting, riots, theft, vandalism assaults on cops, murder all happened late May 2020 on in our large cities and most of the perps of all that got off Scott free or a mild slap on the wrist. Nothing like the torture political prisoners are getting to this day since Jan 6 for simple trespassing. So spare us your faux crocodile tears. We will show the Pelosi Cheney commission all the open contempt they and their commission deserve and when Pelosi or progressives wail about the assault on democracy, there will no longer be any listening but only outright mockery and laughter in their faces from now on. There will be no further discussion or dialogue in this country about i 1-6-21, only open all out political warfare with no quarter asked for.
That quote is an example of fascists showing their true colors, and their true colors are NOT red, white and blue.
Comment 4.1 is a fascist lie intended to convince the gullible and feeble-minded. Real Americans will never fall for the fascist bullshit.
I can only shake my head anymore...
Yep, all the video of what happened is just bullshit....
Yeah, some people live in an alternative reality.
There’s much video yet to be released showing nothing but people walking around tourist style in there causing no one and nothing any harm or damage.
The rioting and looting of our largest cities for months on end in the middle of a pandemic was real and yet largely unpunished.
Deal with it. It was an event largely caused by informants and under cover operatives who triggered a group of already unhappy people to do something they wouldn’t have otherwise done. The vast majority of those present were mere trespassers following in after the agitators had done the real damage. There is no evidence that Trump or anyone around him or any one in congress had anything to do with planning or carrying out the days events.
There is much video that hasn't been released, but your secret sources told you what it shows. We get it.
Even assuming there is video that doesn't happen to show when people were breaking windows and smashing down doors, and beating police with poles carrying Trump flags, that proves nothing.
The fascist lie? I did. I called it out for the lie that it is.
Comment 4.1.4 is a furtherance of the lie told in Comment 4.1.
The truth is a foreign concept to Trumpists and fascist propagandists.
The Trump supporters are the ones fighting fascism in America. The democrats and Biden are the ones who are lying to we the people of America. Their regime is the dystopian nightmare being inflicted upon Americans by a pile of lies.
Then you are deaf, dumb, blind and an ignorant partisan.
There is no dystopian nightmare
and it can easily be proven by how many lies Trump promulgates
and most of his supporters unabashedly, like you, repeat ad nauseum.
People like you ARE THE AFFLICTION.
Normal people want vaccines that work
and bridges the with withstand traffic,
No, SP, I am not. You are calling me names for no reason. If you have a substance disagreement state it. Don’t resort to personal attacks over said opinion differences.
I say that there is one and we are living it.
Trump is no longer in office for now. Biden on the other hand lies all the time.
We tell the truth about all the great accomplishments of the Trump Presidency and promise even more next time.
No. We are the cure for what ails America.
Then I’m normal since having taken the vaccine, I want it to work too.
??? Not sure the context here…
🔔Let freedom ring! 🗽🦅🇺🇸🎊
McFadden is a member of the Federalist Society and was appointed by Donald Trump. He is, therefore, suspect. I wouldn't credit anything he says.
In my America that I love and live in that he’s from the Federalist Society and appointed by Trump means we credit everything he says. What he said in the quote needs repeating everywhere.
In the real America the Federalist Society is a haven for the promotion of hard right reactionary judicial activism in support of a narrow, extremist, minority point of view. Trump is, of course, Trump - a pathetic, criminal, subversive, un-American/anti-American autocratic would-be dictator who treats the laws and traditions of the real America with the utmost contempt. As I correctly stated, McFadden's opinion on anything is suspect, and would, in general, be of no value whatsoever.
We are 180 degree diametrically opposite as to the kind of America and Americans we want our country and neighbors to be. We think the same of Obama judges and Biden to the left as you think of Trump judges and Trump. Neither of us will be at all happy in a nation that the other side had all the political power in. Fortunately we live in a federal republic.
The America I want stands for freedom, democracy with fair and free elections, a justice system that provides impartial justice, the economic well-being of our people with a dynamic and appropriately regulated free enterprise system, personal autonomy, including freedom to practice or not practice a religion as a matter of personal choice, racial tolerance, a strong military and a country at peace, friendship and co-operation with our true allies, a clean environment, among many other values.
You want a country subjugated under the scourge of Trumpism, which is, indeed, 180 degrees diametrically opposite to the America I want as I described above.

we just disagree as to what we want looks like in real life. I view democrats and Biden as darkly as you view Trump and his supporters.
Not if you believe in Trumpism.
Especially for those of us who believe in Trumpism. We are going to Make America Great Again again.
Trumpism is 180 degrees diametrically opposite to everything I set forth in Comment 6.1.4.
Trumpism will lead to the degradation, and ultimately, the destruction of the American way of life.
Support for Trump is support for an autocratic, would-be dictator. Anyone who doesn't understand that either wants fascism in America or is totally delusional.
I’m aware of those. I thought it good to get exposure for a counterpoint.
Try reality. The only ones the fed are being lenient against are the BLM and Antifa rioters who are guilty of doing the exact same thing. Have to love the Democrat two tier justice system.
Too funny. You with you're one sided rants are preaching reality?
Of the thousands and thousands of capital rioters involved in the Capital riots,
only 640 have been charged after an exhaustive investigation of 800 pieces of video, photos and radio.
Now many are receiving probation and or trespassing charges like those poor misunderstood
New Yorkers and you think there's a 2 tiered system?
Gimme a break.
Even the whacky Portland DA circled back in December to re-arrest the arsonists
that attempted to burn down the Justice Center.
"2 tiered" and "white replacement" are just the memes of the victim's imaginations.
Ronin is as usual right.
He has a one sided opinion.
nothing more.
So you are saying he’s just like you but coming from the other one sided opinion…
Nothing more?
I will put up the quality of my state and federal contributions and sacrifices of mine against yours any day.
Got it?

it’s rather unseemly to make other members the issue over mere disagreement over ideology or policy matters. Why are you doing this?
then take your own advice and stop doing it.
You do it on almost every seed.
Poisonous sweeping comments about fellow Americans that certainly include many members here
flow from you like water from a tap.
Your piety is broken.
I am a political junkie so to speak. I come from a point of view that I believe in. I advocate for that point of view. I oppose the policies of the other side and the actions of the other side when said policies or actions impact on our way of life. I make no apologies for being a conservative or promoting that point of view. I have modified some of my view points within conservatism over the last 6 years or so but I’m still a conservative.
You never have to apologize for being a conservative.
But you should beg forgiveness from your god for the hatred you spew and spread here.
That's all I am saying.
I’m not one here who has ever engaged in hatred directed at anyone here.
You express your rage and hatred with almost every comment you write.
Everyone knows it, and you know it, too.
Thank you G2 and JBB
I have told you time after time that all of your hateful sweeping generalizations insult a fairly large number
of members here.
It is disingenuous of you,
to excuse your own daily behavior
while alluding to the three or four times I have lost my temper with you
for using the logic of the Koran to explain your proselytizing of far right BS, Trump and
special Protestant believers.
How dare you!
Be human and all...
