2026</p><blockquote><p><strong>The United States will celebrate its 250th birthday on</strong></p><p><strong>July 4, 2026, marking the Semiquincentennial of the</strong></p><p><strong>Declaration of Independence.</strong></p><p>Today, we Americans are marching to a new &#8216;Path to Glory&#8221; for our country much as our founders and ancestors had to do. Today, we must continue to be <strong>Americans First</strong> citizens and rise above partisan politics and political parties. We must face the future solving our problems and plans looking through a reality prism not a political one and seek to restore this great country, our Republic and the Constitution. The goal ahead is to select common-sense leaders who understand our challenges and have the vision to lead us to a secure America so all can be in the pursuit of happiness and a thankful life.</p><p>On April 19, 1775 British regular troops and colonists came to blows in what many believe was the real beginning of revolutionary warfare. The history of human events has included the dominance to control resources and enslaving the free and the weak in order to increase power. It was only natural for our founding fathers to plant our flag in history and lay claim to life based on freedom and liberty. We the people must no longer tolerate the left&#8217;s move to anarchy and destructions of our basic values and our Constitution.</p><p>As Americans have previously responded by waging &#8220;total war&#8221; against evil, perpetuated by the intolerant, fascist monarchy of England, German Nazism and Japanese Militaristic Imperialism. Their goals were to subjugate free people under a new order of fascism, communism and radical Islam. Americans are now responding under President Donald J Trump with equal resolve to the threats that imperil our great country. Threats from within and from abroad.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

President Trump is taking steps globally to destroy the evil in the world and the Western Hemisphere as no other leader in history has done. Our nation was founded under God and based on natural rights. Evil cannot tolerate the existence of free will and liberty. Our enemies, both foreign and domestic, want to destroy The United States of America.</p><p>Since our natural existence under God, which is confirmed by our nation&#8217;s documents and our consistent pattern of behavior throughout our history, we will always be in direct confrontation with evil. Therefore, we must be steadfast in our resolve to recognize evil, in all its forms, and confront and annihilate it. We need to identify evil in our time whenever it manifests itself. We must also teach the next generations how to recognize and eliminate it as well.</p><p>The Development and Execution of Joint Operations (both Civilian and Military) to respond to dynamic threats against the United States has now reached a point of criticality. Over the course of the last several years, many Americans are gradually waking up! Our &#8220;essence of being&#8221; as a nation and as individuals, is under a constant state of attack. This has been implemented methodically and slowly over time by enemies who despise our way of life. What is occurring to our great country is so heinous that it patronizes each one of us.</p><p>The behavior of ordinary American citizens from all walks of life has been consistent throughout</p></blockquote><p>American history. Doing the right thing is standing up and DEFEATING evil. Americans have always defended liberty and free will throughout its history and have always ascended to the occasion. We have many foreign and domestic enemies, and they have been tearing our nation apart. The cavalry is not coming to save us, but &#8220;We the People&#8221; have our Constitution, history, and heritage to guide us. If we wake up, pay attention, and work together, we can take our country back.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>If future generations are going to enjoy the freedoms we have cherished, we must return to the moral framework that made these freedoms possible in the first place.</strong></p><p>During these tumultuous times, as practically every American institution comes under attack from the far left and its allies, two of our most essential values seem to be primarily targeted to &#8220;transform America.&#8221;<a href="#_ftn1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> Those values are faith and family, the two essential pillars that stabilize any society. We must have a new blueprint that will allow our country to make continual progress once again toward becoming &#8220;a perfect union.&#8221; The rest of the free world can follow our lead.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>What actions will we plan to prevent the treasonous elements within our population from succeeding?</strong></p><p>Our founders took great care when defining treason in the Constitution. After all, they were traitors to the British crown. It had to be well-defined and documented. Because treason in America is historically rare, we have not, nor do we intend to, take the accusation of treason lightly.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Thomas Jefferson once stated, &#8220;Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty&#8221;</strong></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Our shared American history is being taken away from us by activists from the left. There are no greater examples of this than the increasing attacks upon our Founding Fathers and the heroes of 1776.</strong></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The left has declared war upon the heroes who sacrificed all to establish the greatest nation on the face of the earth.</strong></p><div

center;"><strong>George Mcclellan</strong></p><p><strong>April 12, 2026</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Guest Editorial</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The main goal behind the Israeli-US war against Iran is patently obvious: control over Iran&#8217;s energy sources especially its oil<br>sold to China. For Israel, it&#8217;s their self-defense. Sanctions did not stop Iran terrorism policies until military pressure was brought by Trumps &#8220;Epic Fury&#8221; op&#233;ration when it became necessary to achieve commercial dominance over middle east energy<br>resources, not Iran. Iran&#8217;s belligerent<br>behavior on the world stage holding other countries hostage to Islamic<br>terrorism with the one product everyone needs, petroleum, rendered Iran a<br>pariah nation suitable for behavioral modification. For us, oil is our primary<br>but not only reason. For Iran, religion and money, in that order, is their motive to do what they do<br>because they need the cash their oil producers to destroy Israel. Israel, on<br>the other hand, wants to survive by destroying Iran&#8217;s military, especially its<br>nuclear threats. Dealing with weak leaders since Jimmy Carter, facing<br>indecision, bribery and incompetence over fifty years, made Iran&#8217;s goal easy, until Donald Trump.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The first step to<br>solving the terrorism problem is to recognize it and what drives it. If the<br>West, i.e.: US and European countries do not recognize Islam as the driving<br>forces of Iran&#8217;s obstinacy or refuse to believe it is, then peace talks will go<br>nowhere. The<strong> Islamic</strong> Republic of Iran, even now in<br>social, economic and military tatters, will never, ever, agree that Israel<br>should continue to exist or deny that Christianity is abhorrent to Allah and<br>that all Infidels (non-Muslims) should be converted, taxed or killed. It&#8217;s as simple as that and they are still intending to<br>get a nuclear weapon! They might buy one from either China or North Korea. For<br>Iran, this is a religious war, oil is the fuse and we&#8217;re in it now! It has shown up on our streets and it<br>will continue.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The West&#8217;s history of fulfilling its energy<br>needs, i.e.: oil and gas to feed its expanding commercial interests found easy<br>and cheap resources in Saudi Arabia in 1933 and it was gleefully exploited for<br>decades. After all, camel riders don&#8217;t need oil and they have plenty of it. Tribal leaders<br>were paid a small share to stay out of the way and the Arab tribes, once tent<br>dwellers, grew into commercial kingdoms. Demands for their culture guidance<br>comes from <strong>Allah</strong>. Why don&#8217;t we understand that? We invaded Iraq in 2003 on a<br>pretext ending up creating a situation where Iraq&#8217;s oil revenues were/are routed through our Federal Reserve system. Our government now<br>exerts financial leverage<br>over Iraq&#8217;s economy that is dependent almost exclusively on oil. We&#8217;ve done this<br>elsewhere. In<br>Venezuela, o&#239;l revenues had been redirected to us under pressure until Hugo Ch&#225;vez and later Maduro came along and<br>nationalized their product. After Trumps decision to remove<br>Chinese and Russian influence from South America, we are calling the shots in<br>Venezuela again. In Libya, control<br>over its oil assets shifted to us after the murder of Gaddafi and in Kuwait, following the 1991 Desert Storm war, arrangements were made to do virtually the same. They all get paid; they just<br>can&#8217;t exercise political control over<br>the worlds greater energy needs anymore.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s now Irans turn to face this global energy strategy and know who<br>controls it. Kharg Island is Iran&#8217;s o&#239;l export hub and therefore a critical target, not to be<br>totally destroyed but controlled. Kharg Island once taken, will<br>see the entire<br>economy of Iran reshaped. We have abandoned spreading<br>democracy as our foreign policy aim but, we&#8217;re not allowing terroristic<br>Mullahs in the name of Islam, to continue spreading their nonsense, especially<br>with a nuclear threat. For us, this entire operation is not really about long-term economic leverage over Iran&#8217;s energy resources, but stopping<br>Islamic terrorism worldwide while impeding China&#8217;s ability to<br>exercise its desired for world hegemony. Big business<br>will direct the petroleum resources under our umbrella. Iran&#8217;s rejection of Trumps ceasefire terms while still shooting rockets and<br>drones at ships in the Straits doesn&#8217;t simply signal Iran&#8217;s resistance to its collapse but reveals their<br>deep dedication, even to the death, theirs are ours, of their belief in Allah.<br>Why they do so is in their Quran!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The war there appears to be a struggle over who controls the energy markets and<br>financial systems of the region, but it&#8217;s really to<br>stop iron&#8217;s ability to finance Islamic terrorism. Global powers like the United States,<br>United Kingdom and the EU<br>countries are directly affected<br>by the outcome. So is Russia by<br>the way, as their main economic product is to sell their oil and gas on the world market. Except for England, Europe doesn&#8217;t have any and they&#8217;re willing to buy<br>it on an open world market even to suborning themselves to Russia demands if<br>they have to, to get it! This war with Iran will be over soon enough but not<br>Islam&#8217;s continued attempts to subverts<br>infidels to their barbarous culture. We are facing desperate measures here at<br>home, especially if the Democrats somehow inexplicably, regain the house and<br>Senate.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Remember, freedom is the goal and the Constitution is the way.

Vallely, US Army (Ret)</strong></p><p>April 10, 2026</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>As of early April 2026, Cuba is experiencing a severe economic and energy crisis exacerbated by a near-total U.S. oil embargo, leading to nationwide blackouts and fuel shortages. A sanctioned Russian tanker recently brought a temporary fuel lifeline, while the government announced the release of 2,010 prisoners amidst mounting internal pressure and ongoing talks with the Trump administration</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The United States and Cuban Americans have the opportunity to effect tangible changes in Cuba. Looking and focusing more clearly on the Western Hemisphere, we see opportunities for Cuba to reestablish their historic nation back into prosperity. Focusing on rebuilding and restoring Cuba is well worth the time and effort. Perhaps a possible Commonwealth or Territory of the United States could be the solution for Cuba. Puerto Rico is officially the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and is a self-governing and unincorporated <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territories_of_the_United_States">territory of the United States</a>. Would the people of Cuba accept this new relationship with the America?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">There are choices for the Cuban people in regard to its future. Think of the Country that made the finest Cigars in the world and a vibrant sugar industry and global entertainment center and travel destination. Why would the people and current government remain poor under a communist system versus accepting a future of a democratic free society? There is a great opportunity for Cubans to join the United States and experience a bright future.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">President Trump is moving swiftly to restore the integrity of the Western Hemisphere, as well as to Cuba and Venezuela. The Monroe Doctrine was articulated in President James Monroe&#8217;s seventh annual message to Congress on December 2, 1823. According to Monroe, the European powers were obligated to respect the Western Hemisphere as the United States&#8217; sphere of interest. We now call this the <strong>Donroe Doctrine initiative to secure</strong> the Western Hemisphere.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">During a press conference at the White House&#8217;s Oval Office, Secretary of State <strong>Marco Rubio</strong> emphasized the urgent need for a dramatic shift in leadership to help Cuba emerge from its ongoing crisis. The bottom line is their economy is broken. &#8220;It&#8217;s a non-functional economy.&#8221; He highlighted the regime&#8217;s historic reliance on external subsidies to stay afloat. What they call a revolution, it&#8217;s not even that; it&#8217;s just something that has survived on Soviet Union and Chinese subsidies. He bluntly stated the current leadership&#8217;s failure to address this challenge. They are in significant trouble, and those in charge don&#8217;t know how to fix it. Rubio&#8217;s prescription was clear: &#8220;They need to bring in new leadership and pursue dramatic changes.&#8221; Earlier, Rubio had voiced that those reforms in Cuba are insufficient to address its deep-rooted issues. President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> lent his support with a brief, yet impactful statement on March 17 &#8211; &#8220;Cuba is speaking with Marco Rubio; we will do something very soon.&#8221;</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Western Hemisphere must be aligned to safeguard the area and countries from Cartels/drugs, China (CCP), and radical Islam. It is essential that the borders, rare minerals, and trade routes be secured. It is recommended that initiatives be pursued to see a new Cuba.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.standupamericaus.org">www.standupamericaus.org</a>; Contact: <a
