"It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more." John Adams wrote these words about the day that would become Independence Day. Why was he so optimistic about this moment in history, when the American colonists declared their independence from Britain?

Join Zach for this first part of a series on Independence Day, in which he will discuss the history and origins of Independence Day, the morality of the colonists’ actions, and why Marxists hope to subvert this holiday.

Iowa prosecutors recently dropped hate crime charges against Michael Cassidy, the conservative Christian who tore down a Satanic altar erected in the Iowa Capitol last year. Cassidy pled guilty to third-degree criminal mischief and agreed to pay a fine, but will not receive a prison sentence. What happened during this case, and what did it take to combat the Soros-backed prosecution waging lawfare against him?

Cassidy and his legal counsel, former Air Force JAG R. Davis Younts, join Zach to discuss this case and other actions being taken against Cassidy and his career for voicing his conservative Christian beliefs.

When Navy SEAL enlistee Kyle Mullen died after Hell Week two years ago, the nation was falsely led to believe that training conditions under SEAL Captain Bradley Geary were instrumental in his demise. Yet documents exclusively provided to The Sentinel by a member of Congress indicate that the Navy misled the public about the situation, and that performance-enhancing drugs played a role in Mullen’s death. What conclusions should Americans make about this? How trustworthy is our nation’s military leadership?

Captain Bradley Geary and his legal counsel, former Marine JAG Jason Wareham and former Air Force JAG R. Davis Younts, join to discuss this situation and the broader issue of accountability in the US military.

Butker’s speech provoked intense backlash from several quarters, including the NFL itself. What is behind this furore?
