The Disconnection and Disunion of The Enigma Known as Kamala Harris

Let us begin by recapping the following statements with respect to President Joe Biden, all of which were represented to be true at the time they were stated.
President Joe Biden is running for re-election, he may have had a few minor ailments or slip ups, but he is more up for the task.
President Joe Biden is in for the long haul, there is nothing wrong with him physically or mentally.
President Joe Biden is the choice for the Democrat Party during the primary season, and forget about Minnesota Representative Dean Phillips and his actual questioning of Biden's health in his attempt to provide Democrat voters a choice during the primaries (Who, or what, is a Dean Phillips, anyway?)
The American Voter does not understand what a threat to democracy a second Trump Administration would be for the country, that is why President Joe Biden is running again.
The American Voter does not understand how much better off they are under Democrat Party rule, with runaway inflation, unchecked crime, a soaring National Debt, an unsecured border, and the brink of another World War brewing.
President Joe Biden is incapable of running for a second term to continue his hard work and efforts in leading our country.

President Joe Biden will not run for a second term and endorses his Vice President Kamala Harris.
Welcome to the "people's" election of 2024. If you are a registered Democrat, the choice has been brokered and negotiated for you for several years, regardless of what your feelings are in the matter. Deals are made in secret. Deals are made for policies and laws via executive orders. Communications with President Biden have been limited with controlled questions and answers with Democrat sanctioned media, while the White House Press Secretary has lied with her incoherent blather and gibberish insulting Americans intelligence and the world on a daily basis. But all that is now forgotten and forgiven, as Joe Biden has been forced out of the election by his party. Thus, we will assume that the President is still capable of listening to the secret group of non-elected advisors that apparently control him and our country with their incoherent decisions, policies, and actions until he leaves office. No matter what the cost is to our country, our freedoms and our world security will continue to be put at risk as the sad patterns of what is now the Executive branch of the U.S. government, continue unabated.
As discussed, a large part of the deals that have occurred include the resignation of President Joe Biden from the race to be succeeded by the enigmatic and nebulous Vice-President Kamala Harris. Known by some as “Kakala,” her frequent laugh and unserious demeanor has been perceived as undermining her credibility and making it difficult for some to believe she can be a strong, authoritative leader. Additionally, her shifting positions on key issues, such as healthcare and criminal justice reform, have led some to view her as politically expedient rather than principled. Her views on taxation and foreign policy are disturbing to many. Accusations of being overly ambitious and seeking the spotlight are also cited, contributing to a perception that her decisions are driven more by personal gain than by genuine commitment to public service. These factors combine to create skepticism about her readiness and suitability for the presidency. But nonetheless, she was coronated as the successor to the Democrat Presidential nomination, voter be damned.
Vice President's Harris West Allis, WI speech on 7/23/24 did little to allay those concerns as she stated: “Do we want to live in a country of freedom, compassion and rule of law, or a country of chaos, fear and hate?” “In this campaign, I promise you, I will proudly put my record against (President Trump’s) any day of the week.” But what in fact is the record of our Vice President? Is the record of her Vice Presidency an open and unsecured border since she was appointed as the effective “Border Czar” by President Biden on March 24, 2021? Since the time of her appointment, how many people have illegally come into our country? Is it her record of the ruining of America's working middle class and retirees on a fixed income with Democrat runaway inflation caused by her illogical and nonsensical energy and economic policies? Is it her record of hiding President Biden's cognitive state of decline for two years? Is her record speaking before young college women as she tells them to fear “Climate Change Anxiety?” and driving them to a state of fear? Many voters are confused as they continue in struggling to understand the supposed accomplishments of the Vice President.
But have no concerns! We realize that the Democrat state run media will again do the dirty work of creating a new and improved California type Liberal/Democrat/Socialist Kamala Harris who will promise everything and achieve nothing. She has no appeal to conservative and moderate voters who now have no place in the Democrat Party. Please rest assured that daily until election day, President Trump will be tarred and feathered, crucified, and belittled beyond recognition. For this is the norm for the all-inclusive, caring, big-tent and unifying Democrat Party of 2024. Maybe just maybe instead of all the name calling we could really focus on issues, policies, and results between the two candidates. But we know that will never happen.
Only a poor, delusional, and brainwashed soul would believe things are better now as opposed to when President Trump left office. The facts are that we are not better off than we were four years ago. We are currently in one of the most precarious times of our nation's history. Our government is corrupt in many cases. The Vice President is a mirror of the President she served with. There are no new policies except for more federal government authority, more federal government rules and regulations, more federal government deficit spending, more “public health” lockdowns, less personal freedoms, less national security and more National Debt.
If elected, Kamala Harris is in way over her head. President Trump is not.

DEI= (DIE, with the letters rearranged)

On Saturday evening, July 13, 2024, America, and the world witnessed the near murder of the 45^th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, in Butler Township, PA. As the sickening events of this assassination attempt unfolded, it was undisputed that the U.S. Secret Service was inextricably implicated in one of the most mindless and dangerous security breaches since the assassination of President William McKinley. As events unfolded, it was quite clear that the Secret Service (and its politically-correct and connected Director Kim Cheadle) were heavily invested in an employment philosophy known as “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (known as “DEI”). The philosophy of DEI grants right-of-way and favor to those of a certain sex or persuasion rather than by ability, skill, or character. The policy of granting by promotion not based on ability or character has led to a Secret Service rife with ostensible arrogance, unaccountability, diluted skills, dishonestly, and confusion, all of which are embodied by Ms. Cheadle and this situation could have cost Mr. Trump his life and subsequently thrown the country into Civil War. But who really cares, when one values the color of one’s skin or the composition of one’s body or physical characteristics over character and skill. For DEI is what really matters!

DEI, was the hot corporate and governmental philosophy after the demise of George Floyd in 2020. However, it is now realized by most to be a failed and largely useless policy. Microsoft, Meta, Google, and Tesla have all either curtailed or severely scaled back their DEI initiatives. Anheuser-Busch almost bankrupted itself on a laughable marketing plan based entirely upon DEI. Parents throughout this country are crying for education in academic skills rather than pandering and a faux attempt of “inclusiveness”. However, when it comes to the good old Nutmeg State of Connecticut, the continued embrace of DEI further cements the way of Connecticut fighting for demonstrably failed causes and believing in wrong things, consequences and people be damned.

With that resolve, King Governor Ned Lamont, The Unaccountable, helped to solidify his ultra-liberal socialist Democrat Party base by his recent Executive Order to establish an “Office of Equity and Opportunity” in the state.  This office will be led by a currently unnamed “Chief Equity and Opportunity Officer,” who will be in charge of coordinating the state’s DEI strategy along with several other vague and undetermined psuedo-responsibilities. The job apparently will actually be posted on the state's job website. (https://portal.ct.gov/office-of-the-governor/news/press-releases /2024/07-2024/governor-lamont-issues-executive-order-establishing-office-to-promote equity?)

What does the Connecticut Taxpayer and/or the American Taxpayer receive for the billions of dollars being spent on DEI?  And is becoming increasingly inarguable that DEI played a role in the near assassination of President Trump's life last week. This initiative in Connecticut begins at a time when businesses like the major players mentioned above realized that DEI training has been an illogical and costly liberal experimental mess and have reduced or  eliminated it in their companies, The Unaccountable deems it essential and critical that Connecticut Taxpayers that will be adversely impacted by the endeavor foot the bill for this new bureaucracy.  That, being the same bureaucracy that has helped to nurture a massive loss of population, jobs and businesses over the past 30 plus years.  That same bureaucracy that has established “Crime Free Democrat Connecticut" as a paradise for criminals and crime especially for car thefts.  That same bureaucracy that has established Bridgeport as perhaps the most corrupt and inefficiently run cities in the country with a convicted felon leading the city to a path of no return.  That same bureaucracy that encourages the deceit, deception, and fraudulence of the election process especially in Bridgeport.  That same bureaucracy that condemns minorities for not agreeing with them when they join the Republican Party calling them the worst names possible.  

Under the Biden regime, DEI is all over our federal government.  The military, law enforcement, governmental agencies have seminars and classes on it.  Security seems to be a victim to DEI and the inclusion of all in security (even if they are incapable of doing the job).  We can also look back in April when H.R.800, “The Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable Former Protectees Act” was introduced by Mississippi Democrat Congressman Bennie Thompson that would remove Secret Service protection from anyone convicted of a felony and sentenced to prison, which upon a hypothetical passage would set Mr. Trump up for a shiv if he were to be incarcerated.  Seeing this, one could easily argue that many Democrats seem not to care for either law and order nor security by seeing this Act be introduced, the amount of crime not being prosecuted, illegal immigrants crossing freely through our borders and also by the lack of security (which was finally given to) Independent Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who is the direct blood relative of two formidable and vital political leaders that were murdered during the time of their service.  

But what does any of that matter to the Unaccountable? Connecticut will now yield to DEI correctness.  Connecticut Taxpayers will be forced to pay even more in taxes as this new department and its assorted directorate, officialdom, and red tape from DEI employees, assorted political cronies, toadies and lackeys, and other Democrat Party bloat.  In the future the department will need more employees and more money to operate.  Transparency will never exist in this bureaucracy.  There really is no need to be transparent since many state departments and commissions are accountable to no one but themselves.  

But what will change by the Unaccountable’s decision? Connecticut will still have the same problems with this new DEI Czar.  Connecticut still a net migration of population moving out of state, $100-$150 billion dollars’ worth of short- and long-term debt along with unfunded liabilities, a crime problem, the status of being one of the highest taxed states in the country and is at or near the bottom in most business categories.  That to many seem to be the more important problems in the state rather than a bureaucracy "that will be responsible for leading Connecticut’s efforts to ensure that state government is a leader in equity and inclusion with the goals of eliminating institutional and systemic barriers,”  The barriers in Connecticut have all been produced by the Democrat Party with their 30 plus years of omnipotent one party rule.  The barriers in Connecticut are permanent to keep out dissenting thought and free enterprise.  The barriers in Connecticut have been fortified by a state-run and controlled media. The barriers in Connecticut are ruthless in their hatred of a working middle class who is fed up with being force fed this stale propaganda that offers nothing in the way of solutions.  The barriers in Connecticut need to be broken once and for all those working legal citizens and taxpayers that support this once great state.

May God Bless America and Save Connecticut from this horrible, nonsensical, and destructive decision.

The Compounded Felony of Joe Biden and His Myriad Democrat Enablers

Kindly ask yourself the following question: Who is running the United States of America? Is it elected officials such as the President, Vice President, and Congress? Is it non-elected political party staffers who are career bureaucrats? Is it a paid for state-run media that presents only positive information and news when a Democrat is President? Is it several of the highly paid consulting groups who dictate policies and laws for the American Taxpayers to abide by and pay for through their tax dollars? Is it the foreign spies and enemies of our country? Is it paid political protestors who are not subjected to the laws of our country? Is it illegal immigrants? Is it Jill Biden, the First Lady? Who, frankly, is really running the United States of America?

One can argue that our President is only a figurehead in our government. However, one should not confuse a figurehead with a fossil. That said, it has become evident over the past four years that Joe Biden is only a vacuous symbol of the free world who has lost most of his capabilities to speak, make decisions, communicate with officials and leaders without a teleprompter, and make decisions on his own. His doddering mannerisms give him the appearance of one who is acting like a Monarch overlooking his own personal monarchy. The 24/7/365 incoherent gibberish spouting from pro Democrat mainstream media had covered very well for Biden up to his confused, muddled, and unclear debate performance which was blamed upon several factors that should be an insult to the intelligence of the American Voter. The American Voter, no matter what their party affiliation, has experienced and watched the gaffes, memory lapses, stumbles, and massive mental decline of Biden for years firsthand, capped off by a “Big Boy” press conference on July 11 providing the American voter with an encore performance of the same. This American Voter also has been wondering why they do not see their President communicating much if at all, except for an elite few in the media that have been carefully guarding his decline. And why is that? Because we are told constantly that a second Trump Administration is a threat to democracy and the free world as we know it. One could clearly argue that the current leftist Biden Administration has been a much graver threat to democracy over the past four years with an apparent surrogate and non-elected group of unknown individuals making decisions for our country. We are now on the verge of World War III, we insist on recognizing terrorists are legitimate leaders of countries, we have runaway inflation, we have a runaway National Debt, we have United States citizens being held hostage throughout the world and we have a grave sense of hopelessness as a country that has not been felt in many years with the America-be-damned Biden Monarchy debacle now ruling us.

It is also evident that the failed Biden administration has done an outstanding job in enabling the Democrat sycophants of the state of Connecticut on its road to ruin. The serially incompetent Miguel Cardona of Connecticut serves in a manner of sorts as the United States Secretary of Education. One might ask themselves what kind of a President appoints someone in education who thinks it is perfectly fine for your daughter to play sports with men wishing to be women and having these poor girls nervously undressing before these men without a right to complain. Obviously, only a shell of a man without any thinking sensitivities whatsoever could make such an evil appointment. And the Biden lie has been further enabled by the entire Connecticut Congressional Delegation (with the exception of a scared of not being re-elected Jim Himes) who does all it can to dance and distance itself from this issue. Not to be undone, King Governor Ned Lamont the Unaccountable continues his non-answers to all questions about Biden, while he gleefully holds his hands out for whatever largesse dear old senile Uncle Joe can fork over for the Unaccountable to somehow waste. (After all, a payday is a payday).

But of course, neither Connecticut nor the national news media strives for correct answers, as they act like publicists than journalists. At one time the media presented two sides of all news events and issues and allowed the intelligent consumer to draw his or her own conclusions. Today, we have news that is meant to indoctrinate ourselves to the failed values and demands of a socialistic state whereby a differing opinion must be silenced at all costs. This is the manner that state run media, a media that has covered for Joe Biden and his operatives, and Connecticut politicians for years, operates. And this self-serving media still believes that it is omnipotent in our society. The media acts as a self-appointed ruling part of our government in conjunction with the failed Democrat Party with all telling us what they want us to hear. This type of conduct would be deemed as fraud, larceny, or felonious conduct in the private sector, but in Democrat government, it is their equivalent of God’s work.

But ostensibly, even liars have limits. Now, we are told that some in the media are turning away from Biden. They are lecturing him as to withdraw and allow an even worse leftist/socialist/unserious/incompetent to run in our do-nothing Vice President Kamala Harris. She now must be ascended to the Monarchy and its crown to continue wreak havoc on our country with her mumbled socialist thoughts. and speech as she incoherently rambles about “reproductive rights” with said reproductive rights now available to all women. However, in seeing that, I ask how low will the Democrat Party go to preserve its power?

Time is running short for America. It can't accept four more years of disgrace and elitism that the Democrat Party at all levels of government offer. It has failed miserably since the Biden coronation. It has failed along with a nonexistent unbalanced media that is the second arm of the Democrat Party. The charade of the media in protecting one like Biden for over two years now shows the complete distaste and distrust both the media and the Democrat Party has for all of our country especially for those who question their ideologies. There is no path to victory for lying Joe Biden and his cronies. This November we will rid ourselves top to bottom of this dross, dreck and garbage that is the Democrat Party of America in 2024.

What A Mess Joe Biden Is In. What A Mess Blue States Like Connecticut, Are In. (And What A Mess We Are In)

What a mess Joe Biden is in. What a mess his functionally incompetent personal handlers are in. What a mess the Democrat Party is in. What a mess the United States border is in. What a mess the National Debt is. What a mess our military is in. What a mess inflation is in our economy. What a mess non-prosecuted criminals have made our streets, cities, and states to become. What a mess higher education is in our society. What a mess green energy has become in our economy. What a mess paid anti-Israel protestors have made for Jewish people in our country. What a mess fuel prices are. What a mess insurance prices are. What a mess China, Russia, Hamas, Iran and North Korea are creating for the world.
Yet, with all these messes, Joe Biden and the Democrat Party truly believe that their liberal/socialistic laws, policies and decrees are working. And all these illusions are sufficient for a now truly dysfunctional, aging, haggard, and mentally challenged Joe Biden to be re-elected for a second term in his current nonfunctional mental and physical state. In business, education, and in other governments, a person of his current condition would not be working or governing but would be signed into elder care. However, in the United States. this career politician, who has continually gamed his political influence for his family's financial gain through the years, is supposedly the best overall person in the country and his party to lead our country. Kindly recall that Joe Biden was the person who was to unite our country and to somehow preserve our democracy back in 2020. It was drilled into us by many in government and media that The Democrat Party was supposed to resolve so many issues in our country and our world after the purported Reign of Terror of President Donald Trump. We were to be much safer than we were under that supposedly evil, flag loving, non-woke man. And the phonograph machine cranked on. However, in true Saul Alinsky fashion, Biden lied. The Democrat Party lied. The state-controlled media lied. And many people died as the result of the last four years of this Biden machine.
Reality does not exist with Joe Biden, his handlers, and at all levels of the Democrat Party. The realities of forced liberal/socialistic laws, policies and decrees have failed our country miserably for the past four years and many finely working systems now hang by a thread. You are not better off than you were four years ago. Our National Debt exceeds any ability our country has to possibly pay it off by a wide amount. So, desperation and illusion become the norm to buy votes. Giveaway gimmicks are one such vehicle that Joe Biden and his serially incompetent Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona have employed by pretending to forgive student debt, but such schemes have lasted only as long as they have been found to be illegal by courts of law. Inflation has cost Americans any savings they had remaining in many cases as they try to pay for necessities such as food, housing, and transportation. Woke administrative and DEI policies are making our country a banana republic, especially with our military. The surrender of nine military bases in Afghanistan along with hundreds of millions of dollars in live military equipment and supplies only has re-energized terrorists throughout the world. Why were American lives lost in this debacle? These failures economically, socially, and militarily are the responsibility of Joe Biden and his handlers. They own the numerous crises that they have created. And they will be difficult to fix in the short run.
In addition, the ancestors of the now-persecuted Jewish people of America were often fond of saying that apples do not fall far from their trees. And a perfectly formed apple of the rotten Democrat tree is that of the State of Connecticut, being much like other Blue States. And what a laughingstock Connecticut has become. Recent National-newsworthy events in Connecticut include an ever-worsening state voting scandal, enabled Climate-change protestors marring a world-class major golf tournament, a state representative filmed while making an obscene gesture outside of President Trump’s home, and the murder of several state employees, (one a state trooper) on the state’s interstate highway system by impaired individuals. But rather than acknowledge these grave faults and taking steps to correct them, no acknowledgments are ever made by any Democrat in Connecticut government. Just like things are at the National level, Connecticut is on the Comeback Trail! Do you disagree? (In that case, you must be some sort of racist, right-wing nut, or conspiracy theorist filled with hate).
But real Americans are fed up with these same failed liberal/socialistic laws, policies and decrees that have done nothing whatsoever to improve our economy or society. If one disagrees with Joe Biden, his handlers and or the Democrat Party you are considered the enemy. Freedom of thought and speech are only for the Democrats. Don't forget the incendiary rhetoric Biden's "unifying speech" in 2022 and his condemnation of all things Trump, where he ineloquently barked that “MAGA Republicans have made their choice. They embrace anger. They thrive on chaos. They live not in the light of truth, but in the shadow of lies,” "They promote authoritarian leaders, and they fan the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country."(https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2022/09/01/remarks-by-president-bidenon-the-continued-battle-for-the-soul-of-the-nation/). And yet America was forced to suffer through a pathetic President trying to debate his challenger and make you want to vote for four more years of his insanity. You truly are not better off with Joe Biden, his handlers and or the Democrat Party. They will not compromise. They are a group of political elitists and extremists who rule through intimidation, brute force, and shaming.
This chapter of American history needs to end quickly, so that our country can survive yet another 248 years of freedoms. Our country truly will be lost, and possibly destroyed, if we follow the lost paths of Joe Biden, his handlers, his Blue State acolytes, and/or the Democrat Party.

 

248 Years Of Freedom July 4, 1776 - July 4, 2024

 IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

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. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated  Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.
