The Color Of Her Eyes? Absolutely Breathtaking!

Greta Garbo.

She really was the most beautiful movie star ever. But during her brief career (before she gave it all up to live a private life) very few color photographs of her were taken. That was because all of Garbo's movies were in black-and-white, which was then the norm.

But we do have some color photographs of Garbo (including a later in life passport photo) and they reveal her luminescent hazel/violet eyes -- absolutely beguiling! Small wonder the actress Melina Mercouri once said that when she met Garbo and gazed into her eyes, it took her breath away.

Note: these photos are not colorized. They're genuine. Enjoy!









Think About It: Might This Be In Our Future?


 

Exactly What IS Going On Here, Huih?

Pride month may have (mercifully) ended but we're still left to wonder about this display at the entrance to the children's section of the Camden County (NJ) Library. It remained up throughout the month at the library's main branch in Vorhees and this is at least the second year we've encountered it. Similar displays were the norm at many area libraries -- some of which have no such displays or recognition of America's 250th birthday this month.

Take a look at the titles of some of the books -- all placed conveniently at eye level for children. It does give one pause, and might make one wonder exactly what's at play here -- information, or vigorous advocacy, if not outright grooming. 

Just something to think about -- especially if you're a parent of grandparent.

The Outrageous Absurdity Of It All . . .


 

Here's Something We Can ALL Agree On!

Kanitra: A Passionate Fighter For a Critical Cause!


From NJ State Assemblyman Paul Kanitra:

Total chaos on the floor of the NJ General Assembly last night as I gave my most important floor speech ever. The whole time I was thinking of my little 10 month old boy. I thought of myself who was born 2 months premature and lived in an incubator for a few weeks. I thought of detransitioners like Chloe Cole. I thought of countless kids who had body parts chopped off and futures destroyed. I thought of all the little babies who have been violently ripped apart in the most agonizing deaths imaginable. And I got emotional.

I said all the things I've wanted to say for years. I said all of the things that needed to be said. If we really care about children, about babies, we have to start protecting them from the left's BS rhetoric, factless preying on of emotions, and packaging insane things in cute terminology.

And we have to fight back. Join me.

Revealed: The Italian Hand In America's Founding!

Before America had a Constitution, it needed words, ideas, and a vision of what a republic could look like. 
These Italians gave it all three.

Filippo Mazzei lived next door to Thomas Jefferson in Virginia, and the two men spent years exchanging ideas about liberty and government. Mazzei's own writing, "all men are by nature equally free and independent," is widely credited as the inspiration behind Jefferson's "all men are created equal" in the Declaration of Independence.

While Mazzei gave the founders their words, Gaetano Filangieri gave them a framework. His major work, "The Science of Legislation," reached Benjamin Franklin directly, and his ideas on law and government shaped political thought during the founding era.

Andrea Palladio never set foot in America. He lived two centuries before the Revolution. But his classical architectural style became the visual language of the young republic. Jefferson studied his work closely, and that influence can still be seen in Monticello, the University of Virginia, and the federal buildings that define American government today.

Words, ideas, and vision. Italians and Italian Americans helped shape this nation from its very first chapter.

The National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) is a proud Supporting Partner of America250 honoring the generations of Italians and Italian Americans who have shaped our nation.

Yeah, We Discovered, LOVE and Treasure America!


Celebrate 250 years of America with the Italians who discovered it.

Cristoforo Colombo was born in Genoa in 1451. His 1492 voyage across the Atlantic opened sustained contact between Europe and the Americas and changed the course of human history forever.
Giovanni Caboto called Venice home. Sailing under the English flag in 1497, he reached the shores of North America and laid the groundwork for English colonization of the continent we now call home.
Amerigo Vespucci was born in Florence in 1454. His voyages to the New World made him the first to recognize that the lands Columbus had reached were not Asia but an entirely new continent. The world named it after him.
Giovanni da Verrazzano was born in Tuscany around 1485. In 1524 he mapped the Atlantic coastline of North America and sailed into the harbor that would one day become New York, the gateway to the American dream for millions.
NIAF is a proud Supporting Partner of America250, honoring the Italian explorers whose curiosity, courage, and vision made the American story possible.

On this day, June 28 1778, Molly Pitcher, the legendary heroine of the Battle of Monmouth NJ famously took her fallen husband's place firing his cannon. Historians identify her as Mary Ludwig Hays, who traveled with her husband, William, a gunner in the 4th Continental Artillery.



That Tardy Dem NJ Budget? Listen To MIKE TESTA!

It’s Sunday, June 28th. I’m headed to Trenton right now to attend the Senate Budget & Appropriations committee for a state budget that no one has seen. We were promised transparency & a finished budget by June 15th. Instead, Trenton Democrats are jamming through a backroom deal at the last minute... same broken playbook, same lack of transparency. Stay tuned.

Look At The Contrast, Then, YOU Decide . . .

Pay Attention, America -- And Be Forewarned!

Imagine if, in the aftermath of 9/11, someone told you within 25 years someone like this would be getting elected in NYC — would you have believed it? Well, New York City recently elected Aber Kwas to their State Senate. This is her blaming 9/11 on America because of our “system of capitalism, racism, white supremacy and islamophobia.”

Court Victory Boosts Trump Border Agenda Gains!

The Supreme Court has delivered a major victory for American sovereignty, ruling that the Trump Administration has full authority to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian migrants. The Biden Administration weaponized TPS as a backdoor amnesty to flood the country with millions of unvetted migrants — and that loophole is finally closed.

This is the latest decisive win in President Donald J. Trump’s relentless effort to end the border invasion and put American citizens first.

Here are 60 key actions the Trump Administration has taken as part of its historic America First border agenda:

  1. The Supreme Court affirmed the Trump Administration’s authority to remove green card holders who threaten American communities.

  5. A federal appeals court affirmed the Trump Administration’s expedited removal policy, accelerating deportations of illegal aliens.

  8. The Trump Administration restored the practice of conducting neighborhood investigations of potential new citizens to verify their claims and ensure we get a full picture of their character.
  9. The Trump Administration dramatically accelerated immigration court hearings.
  10. The Trump Administration restricted access to immigrant work permits, prioritizing U.S. workers and tightening security.
  11. The Trump Administration moved to raise naturalization fees so American taxpayers are no longer subsidizing the process.
  12. The Trump Administration moved to secure our financial system against illegal aliens.
  13. The Trump Administration ended government-backed mortgage financing for illegal aliens and H-1B visa holders.

  15. The Trump Administration banned foreign nationals — including green card holders — from accessing Small Business Administration loans intended for American entrepreneurs.
  16. The Trump Administration banned illegal aliens from more than a dozen taxpayer-funded healthcare programs.
  17. The Trump Administration implemented strict English proficiency and residency requirements for commercial driver’s license holders.
  18. The Trump Administration accelerated deportation flights to record highs.
  19. The Trump Administration moved to implement a new remittance tax on money sent out of the country by illegal aliens.

  29. The Trump Administration paused visa processing for 75 high-risk countries.
  30. The Trump Administration launched an unprecedented denaturalization effort targeting those who fraudulently obtained U.S. citizenship.
  31. President Trump signed the Laken Riley Act into law, requiring detention of illegal aliens charged with serious crimes.
  32. The Trump Administration restricted entry of H-1B aliens unless their petition is accompanied by a $100,000 payment.
  33. The Trump Administration dramatically expanded federal immigration detention capacity, including the largest migrant detention facility in U.S. history.
  34. The Trump Administration announced a new policy generally requiring aliens in the U.S. temporarily to return to their home countries to apply for a green card.
  35. The Trump Administration moved to protect American workers by ending employers’ ability to pay substandard wages to foreign workers in certain visa programs.
  36. The Trump Administration ended the practice of granting automatic extensions of employment authorization documents for aliens.

  38. The Trump Administration tightened visa interview waiver categories, requiring most applicants to attend in-person interviews.
  39. The Trump Administration implemented a new visa integrity fee to all visitors applying to enter on nonimmigrant visas, as well as several other new fees — all designed to enhance the integrity of the visa application and deter overstays.

  50. The Trump Administration launched a stipend program to incentivize self-deportation and reduce costs.
  51. The Trump Administration launched a fine program to incentivize illegal aliens to self-deport.
  52. The Trump Administration moved to strip federal funding from sanctuary jurisdictions.
  53. The Trump Administration upgraded the human trafficking hotline.

URGENT! US VOTERS: Please Pay Attention To THIS!


 

A Very Special Message From A Fearless Patriot

From our friend, Scott Presler:

Since our movement is trending right now, let me introduce myself: My name is Scott Presler. I’m an Eagle Scout & son of a retired Navy Captain. I moved to Pennsylvania in 2024 & launched an organization for the sole purpose of helping to re-elect President Trump. I’ve spent the last decade of my life registering tens of thousands of voters, electing Republicans to all levels of office, & helping to build up Republican structures from the county & state levels. I’ve traveled to over 40 states to grow the Republican Party. For the last 6 months, I’ve met with members of Congress to pass the SAVE America Act — which would require photo voter ID & proof of citizenship to vote. What I’m advocating for has overwhelming support from the American people. Yet I was not allowed entry to a dinner last night in Rapid City, South Dakota, because Senate Majority Leader Thune was present. When they go after me, they are really coming for you. I will not be bullied, pressured, intimidated & I won’t stop pushing for the country-saving SAVE America Act. Thank you for having my back — peacefully.

Cowardly, Deliberate Attack On Our Landmarks!

Crazed and deranged lunatics have once again exposed their hatred for America with a cowardly, deliberate attack on one of our nation’s most iconic landmarks — the newly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
 
President Donald J. Trump was right from the beginning. Fake News hacks and so-called “experts” immediately rushed to mock him, call him a liar, and blame the Trump Administration’s successful renovation instead of the vandals — but they were dead wrong.

Surveillance video captures suspects in the act. Photos and law enforcement reports document deliberate slashes cut through the liner, sides, and coating, as well as fencing and debris thrown into the pool. At least seven individuals have been arrested, seven others have been issued federal citations, and 18 police reports have been filed.

This isn’t random mischief — it’s targeted sabotage by anti-American crackpots who despise a strong, proud, and beautiful country. They cannot build; they can only destroy. They cannot celebrate our heritage; they can only deface it.

National pride will not be surrendered to a handful of sick anti-American lunatics. Thanks to the Trump Administration’s decisive action, advanced nanobubble ozone technology has already neutralized the algae and repairs to vandalized areas are underway. The Reflecting Pool will yet again be restored to its rightful glory as America celebrates its 250th birthday.

President Trump won’t be deterred from making our Reflecting Pool beautiful.
