The Mamdani Sneaker Wave

Spencer Pratt sparked widespread online reaction over Independence Day weekend after posting a sharp rebuke of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for using the July 4 holiday to criticize America's history. 

Pratt, a former reality TV star who drew attention with his surprise Los Angeles mayoral run, continued his political commentary by targeting Mamdani, who marked the nation's 250th Independence Day by delivering an immigration-themed address from George Washington's desk. Flanked by eight recently naturalized U.S. citizens, Mamdani criticized U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, Elon Musk, and what he described as the "arena of supremacy" in the United States.

DJT: Celebrate the "Glory"--Remove the "Cancer"

President Trump marked the 250th birthday of the United States Saturday night with a speech paying tribute to the “glory” of America while vowing to protect it from the “cancer” of communism.

“For 250 years, the United States of America has been the hope, the promise, the light, and the glory among all of the nations of the world, all over the world. They tried to be like us. Nobody can be like us,” Trump said to a cheering crowd of more than 150,000 people on the National Mall who braved a thunderstorm-forced evacuation to hear the president speak in the 11 p.m. hour.

Amid boasts of the country’s triumphs — highlighted by the recognition of Medal of Honor winners, the presentation of American flags from important military battles, and the astronauts of Artemis II appearing on stage — Trump warned about the looming threat of the far left.

It was one of the most inspiring, informative presentations I've ever seen,

However, on the other side of the tracks, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, sitting at George Washington's desk, blasted America for all that is supposedly wrong with her. With us.

Some Thoughts as we Celebrate 250 Years of Freedom

On July 4, 2026, tomorrow, we Americans will be celebrating our freedom, remembering how the Founding Fathers created one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

"Under God" is the key to our greatness.

Prayer to God led our Founders to create the most enduring document ever created by man: The Constitution of the United States.

Those same individuals had, in the same way, created the Declaration of Independence.

And they told us to pass our story to each generation, otherwise the torch of freedom and liberty may flicker and go out.

Would You Have Signed It?

I’ve had the privilege of standing in some remarkable places.

I’ve walked through the White House, where every room reminds you that decisions made there eventually find their way into kitchens and living rooms across America. I’ve stood inside the United States Capitol, where history has been debated, delayed, defended—and, every now and then, ignored.

But no place has ever gotten under my skin quite like Independence Hall.

I’ve been there more than once, and every single time I leave, I find myself asking the same question: Would I have signed it? Not after Washington won. Not after Yorktown. Not after schoolchildren memorized the opening lines of the Declaration. I’m talking about that day, that room, that moment—when nobody knew how the story was going to end.
