On this day, Thomas Jefferson submitted the final draft of the Declaration to the Continental Congress. On July 2, Congress agreed to declare independence. On July 4, the Declaration of Independence was formally approved. Most of the delegates would sign on August 2.
Today, they got the draft. After 6 days of debate, they'll look at a kickass document that ends with "we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." They knew what will happen if they lose, and they'll say hell yeah let's do it for Dale.

Give him a break. Think how many people he had looking over his shoulder and second-guessing every word.

I'm just surprised that the federal government was working on a holiday when they signed it on July 4.

I like reading of the badassery of our forefathers and what it took to forge this nation.

Senate had to create itself so that it could go on recess
Quote from: buff2.0 on Jun 29, 2026, 12:21 PMSenate had to create itself so that it could go on recess
That's probably accurate. I'm sure they gave themselves a raise just after creating itself and just before going on recess.

Utterly fascinating. Take Ethen Allen for example. He's just sitting around drinking with his buddies and decides they should go attack the largest military base on the continent.
At least rewatch Episode 2 of John Adams on HBO. The silence in the room once Congress realizes what it just did is my favorite part of the series.
Edit: I'll save you the trouble.

I love this show. I wish HBO would make more of our founders.
Sam Adams was a badass btw.

A must-watch. I'm watching Washington on Netflix and it's great, but features too much Bill Clinton.
Turn is one of those shows that takes me back to where I was the first time I watched it.

Turn is maybe the most well acted, written and directed show I have ever watched. We finished it up about a month ago and went straight from that to The Dutton Ranch. The overall drop in quality was palpable.

Then make some awesome home furnishings.
I didn't feel like cooking so I opted for some Ballpark hotdogs with caramelized onions (butter, earls, red pepper flake, soy sauce, garlic seasoning concoction)...added cheese and steamed the buns. It tasted like America.
Gonna go shoot some guns now and maybe have some bacon snacks later as I sit in the air conditioning.

The story about the Delaware Delegate who was suffering from cancer yet road a horse all night to get there in time to vote is pretty damned impressive too.
We nuked these people, and then we nuked them again just to make sure they didn't think we were sorry or that the first time might have been an accident. Now they America as hard as we do. There might be a lesson in there.

We're meeting my in-laws for lunch tomorrow halfway for them and us at the glorious Cracker Barrel in West Memphis. Then, we're going to a friend's house for his firework display. He's an engineer and they have too much money. He puts on an electronically controlled firework display. It's pretty cool and hopefully we all have all our fingers after said boom booms. We'll drink too many beers and our girls will be drinking something fancier.

My Japanese wife was "slightly liberal" maybe when I met her 25ish years ago. Over time she has become more conservative and now she is as red-pilled as they come. I mean, she is DEEP red. She doesn't have citizenship because she is Japanese but considers herself American as any American. She is red white and blue and TEXAN. Our son is holy shit Texan. Like, Texan first, then American. His career choices right now at 6: military, police or firefighter.
I mean, I hope for some shit that makes more money but that is some red white and blue pumping through his half Japanese veins
Watching the first few episodes of John Adams to start the day.
And just put a ridiculous rack of beef ribs on the smoker.
Dunked on by a dictionary lol

ABC's got a black man on talking about how much he hates that Thomas Jefferson's blood runs through him. I guess they're ignoring the scientists who say Jefferson's younger brother likely knocked up Hemmings.
Oh look a mention of George Floyd.
Time to put the Patriot on the outside TV so that Colonel Tavington can killed again

CBS here in Houston is showing the Los Angeles celebration. The concert is in the coliseum and there are so few people in the stadium that I can only surmise that they are still social distancing.
All these flags in Trump's speech are awesome.
After UFC and now this I am convinced that our military could get bored and put together the greatest band the world has ever seen, on a drunken dare.

In case you missed it because you're lame or something. Last night I learned that it's possible to have goosebumps while listening to a Miley Cyrus cover. Also that this group should have started this whole America 250 thing with the Super Bowl halftime show and the National Anthem at the Daytona 500.

Quote from: buff2.0 on Jul 05, 2026, 11:35 AMOne's piss should never NOT be hot for America.
True that, I guess I should clarify, SCALDING HOT. I machined an 80% AR lower last night in the garage for no apparent reason other than just...because. Don't even have the upper to put on it, but to me, nothing says "America" more than making your own firearms at home. Whipping out an AR with parts you can buy online and ship to your home with no serialization and assemble from a lower you machined with no serialization or registration or tracking...That is American.
Machining whisper pickles was way more fun before they took away the tax stamp, but still fun just to "Have" and hide in various places.
