VP Vance on the beauty of the Declaration of Independence: "It does not pause to explain who this Creator is. It doesn’t explain what the equality of men means. It doesn’t try to go into details about the consent of the governed. It simply declares these truths to be self evident"🇺🇸

What is the greatest sentence ever written? According to author Walter Isaacson, it's a single sentence in the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Ahead of America's 250th anniversary, Judy Woodruff spoke with Isaacson about the enduring power of those words and his new book, "The Greatest Sentence Ever Written." Watch part of her conversation with Isaacson, which is part of her recent Crossroads: America at 250 report.

🚨 CLARENCE THOMAS DELIVERS MASTERCLASS ON THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas just gave what many are calling one of the most powerful speeches on the Declaration of Independence in years. Born into extreme poverty — sleeping in a chair with no running water until he was six — Thomas rose to the highest court in the land and used his platform to passionately defend America’s founding principles. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.” Thomas made it clear: Rights come from God, not government.

😂MSNBC’s Katy Tur actually asked if Speaker Mike Johnson was “putting God over the Declaration of Independence” because he said: “Our rights do not derive from government. They come from our Creator and Heavenly Father.” Newsflash, Katy — that’s literally the Declaration of Independence! “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their CREATOR with certain unalienable Rights...” The media is this clueless about America’s founding! Embarrassing. Mike Johnson gets it. The Founders got it. Time for Katy to read a history book. 🇺🇸🙄

MSM have stated up again on labeling us as Christian Nationalists. I appreciate how this guy explains it all. We rely on our Declaration of Independence to secure our rights. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Let us stay vigilant and not let MSM flip the narrative on who we are and our core beliefs. Love of God and love of nation are 2 separate ideals.
