The Greatest Birthday Of All Time

Happy Birthday America! 250 years young. The greatest country of all time hits a major milestone.

Ayn Rand: “I can say—not as a patriotic bromide, but with full knowledge of the necessary metaphysical, epistemological, ethical, political and esthetic roots—that the United States of America is the greatest, the noblest and, in its original founding principles, the only moral country in the history of the world.”

“Since the golden age of Greece, there has been only one era of reason in twenty-three centuries of Western philosophy. During the final decades of that era, the United States of America was created as an independent nation. This is the key to the country—to its nature, its development, and its uniqueness: the United States is the nation of the Enlightenment.”

“America’s founding ideal was the principle of individual rights. Nothing more—and nothing less. The rest—everything that America achieved, everything she became, everything “noble and just,” and heroic, and great, and unprecedented in human history—was the logical consequence of fidelity to that one principle. The first consequence was the principle of political freedom, i.e., an individual’s freedom from physical compulsion, coercion or interference by the government. The next was the economic implementation of political freedom: the system of capitalism.”

Watch live at 1 pm:

At Mount Rushmore, Trump celebrates America’s greatness and declares communism its mortal enemy

He accused leftist activists of trying to swap the ideals of America with those of Karl Marx.

By Just the News staff, July 4, 2026:

With Mount Rushmore and the stone images of four of his predecessors as a backdrop, President Donald Trump declared America on its 250th birthday the “most exceptional nation ever to exist” and vowed to never let communism encroach its freedoms.

Communism “is the greatest threat to our country, including World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor, or even 9/11,” Trump said Friday night in a pre-Independence Day spectacular in South Dakota. “We’re not going to let this happen to us. Believe me, we’re not letting it happen, because communism is the enemy of free people.”

“Communism is the exact opposite of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness — it is death, tyranny and the pursuit of evil,” he declared.

He accused leftist activists of trying to swap the ideals of America with those of Karl Marx.

“As for those who peddle Marxist lies about our heritage, tell our children that we live on stolen land, or that our heroes were oppressors, they’re doing something much worse than slandering our past,” Trump said. “They are slandering and attacking our future.”

Trump made freedom and patriotism a major theme of the event, staying behind after his speech for a fireworks display over the granite likeness of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.

“At 250 years, America is the oldest republic on earth,” the president said. “We are the freest people on earth. We have the most righteous and enduring Constitution on earth. We are the strongest and most powerful country on earth. And by the grace of God, the United States of America is the most successful, most accomplished, most exceptional nation ever to exist in human history.”
