His story of raw strength against impossible odds reveals a hero who history has a hard time explaining. Many wondered if Peter Francisco was an actual human being or something more. Like Biblical Samson, he appeared when needed to help defeat the enemies of freedom.In 1776, at only sixteen years of age, a boy who began life as an orphan, joined the 10th Virginia Regiment of the Continental Army. He fought throughout the war, was wounded many times, but defeated in desperate hand-to-hand combat

At dawn King Charles II’s soldiers forced their way into Algernon Sydney’s home in Northumberland, England, charging him with “treason against the Crown.”Sydney was convicted for his beliefs, his thoughts, for his love of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for the common citizen, then marched to the gallows. But Algernon Sydney’s writings, and the God-given truth he died for, would go on to inspire our Founders who, later, struggling in the face of overwhelming odds, published the

Twenty-five years ago, on September 11, 2001, something happened to America that I hope we never forget.Firefighters and police ran into danger trying to save lives. Flight attendants and passengers fought terrorists with nothing but their bare hands. Americans lined up to give blood. And for a little while, the arguments stopped and an incredible miracle occurred: American flags came out everywhere. By 9/12 American flags were sold out all over the country. We, as neighbors, as

Thomas Jefferson was tasked with the treasonous task of authoring the Declaration of Independence, separating the Americans forever from King George III of England.Without hesitation, Jefferson opened his portable desk and began work. He wrote: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with…Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” These were rights that no man, or king, could take from them.

The ancient stone walls of the Alamo trembled beneath another thunderous cannon blast.Mexican soldiers surged forward in wave after wave, their battle cries echoing through the cold dawn air of March 6th, 1836. The defenders, fewer than two hundred Americans, had held out against overwhelming odds for thirteen days hoping for reinforcements. Near one section of the crumbling wall stood a tall, broad-shouldered frontiersman wearing a worn buckskin hunting shirt. His long rifle he named “Old

When America entered World War II following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Doss wanted to serve.But he did not want to kill another human being. He was willing to risk his life for his country and for the men of his Army company. But he simply refused to take another life while doing so. Many fellow soldiers did not understand. Some accused him of not being a “real man,” of being a coward. Yet he also refused to hate the men who tormented him. Instead, he trained and trained hard. He

The message arrived in the middle of the night.Another threat from a shadowy, enraged stranger promising a violent attack. Such cowardly messages appeared simply because J. K. Rowling, the acclaimed author of the Harry Potter Series, had refused to say what others demanded she say. They threatened her family. Her highly popular books were targeted for boycott. Former friends and colleagues publicly disowned her. Yet the courageous woman she is, J. K. Rowling did something that frightened

The sky above London glowed bright crimson. It was not the red of a setting sun but the terrible glow of a city on fire and under siege.German bombers droned through the darkness, dropping tons of incendiary bombs upon homes, churches, and factories. Fire engines raced through shattered neighborhoods while exhausted rescue workers clawed through broken buildings with bleeding hands, searching for survivors. Every explosion shook the foundations of one of the world’s leading cities. Across the

One autumn evening just prior to the Civil War, the escaped slave Frederick Douglass stepped onto the platform of an abolitionist street meeting knowing he could get beat up, maybe even lynched for his efforts. Pro-slavery supporters shouted obscenities with each word he spoke.Looking into the faces of those who hated the cause of liberty for all, courageously Frederick Douglass declared slavery a deep moral evil that was rotting America from within. Frederick Douglass was self-taught. He

As casualty reports from Gettysburg poured in, President Abraham Lincoln wrestled with one haunting question:How could he tell thousands of grieving families their loved ones had not died in vain? More than 51,000 American casualties in the bloodiest battle in the nation’s history. Preparing for his Gettysburg cemetery dedication speech, Lincoln turned to the Declaration of Independence, recognizing that the Civil War was testing whether a nation founded on God-given rights could

No one wanted the assignment. To bring in two desperate killers with a nasty habit of ambushing lawmen.US Deputy Marshal Bass Reeves was assigned the task. Packing light, he headed into Indian Territory alone, as he typically operated, in disguise as a poor, weary vagabond. When reaching the outlaws' hideout—found by his exceptional tracking skills learned from years living with local Indian tribes—the outlaws suspected nothing. The criminals laughed and boasted of their murders of lawmen and

There’s a movie out right now you must see. More so, you need to take your children and grandchildren. Most Americans have heard of George Washington. But few understand how absolutely irreplaceable he was to our American story. Practically no one has been taught in our schools and universities that, contrary to nearly every leader in world history, he willingly gave up power when he could have easily seized it for life. And practically no one knows where his remarkable story actually began

On March 30, 1981, President Ronald Reagan was shot outside the Washington Hilton Hotel when an assassin's bullet narrowly missed his heart. Despite his injuries, Reagan's humor and courage reassured a worried nation saying to the doctors: “I hope you’re all Republicans.” To which the lead surgeon replied: “We’re all Republicans today, sir.” Born in 1911 in Illinois, Reagan learned hard work through a modest upbringing and became known for courageously rescuing swimmers as a lifeguard.

As British forces under General Charles Cornwallis weakly huddled at Yorktown in 1781, George Washington faced one final obstacle: the Continental Army had no money to pay troops or buy supplies. Salvation came from Haym Salomon, a Jewish immigrant from Poland, financier, and patriot who secured the funds needed to sustain and feed the army. Arriving in New York in 1772, Salomon embraced the American cause, joining the Sons of Liberty and later serving as a spy for Washington in British-occupied

2026/06/24

Ask yourself: What do the last 250 years look like without America? Without the American example, kings still claim divine authority “from God.” Individual liberty is silenced in its infancy. In the twentieth century, it was the United States standing against fascism when much of the world capitulated. The satanic despots of the Nazi Party, proclaiming their Reich “would rule for a thousand years.” And they were willing to murder millions to make that happen. More threatening still, America

Threatening clouds hung low over Budapest, Hungary.Soldiers shouted orders, dragging men, women, even children from their homes. The icy wind cut through the thin clothing of the terrified Jewish families as they were forced toward the banks of the Danube River. There, in the gray dawn, the soldiers lined them up shoulder to shoulder. “Shoes off!” Shouted the Nazi officer. The people obeyed. A mother clutched her young son, whispering prayers next to his ear. An old man stared blankly at

The Albemarle was a beast.Protected by four-inch iron plating and sloped armor designed to deflect cannon fire, she seemed invincible. Union shells bounced harmlessly off like pebbles. Destroying this ironclad was vital. Traditional attacks had failed. So, Lt. Cushing proposed something bolder... Under cover of darkness, he would sneak up to the vessel and blow a hole in her hull using the newly invented hand-guided spar torpedo. A spar torpedo was an explosive charge attached to the end

Before dawn the sound of jackboots thudded on the outside steps, then a fist pounded her door.“Gestapo! Open up!” Inside the humble Warsaw apartment, a young Polish woman stood very still. Beneath her floorboards were forged documents. In a jar were hundreds of names of Jewish children smuggled out into different Christian homes under false identities. If the Germans found that list, those children and the families protecting them, would die. Irena Sendler straightened her shoulders and

Gunfire ripped through the Georgia air. Smoke rolled low across the shattered battlefield of downed and dying men. The wounded lay everywhere; blue and gray uniforms tangled together in mud and blood. Confederate reinforcements advanced. Battered Union troops pulled back. Yet in the chaos, a lone female figure moved towards the danger instead of away from it. She wore men’s trousers, hardly the approved dress of a 19th-century lady. Dr. Mary Walker embodied a special quality that originated
