Are you aware that military/battle action is only one of jihad’s 10 faces? That several faces are operating in plain sight within our nation with our help? The Iranian-American/Christian human rights activist delves into her sound-the-alarm book, “The Architecture of Jihad,” that issues a resounding wake-up call for Americans to learn about and deal with jihad being waged among us without much knowledge or resistance.

A Saturday in Cunningham Park became a reminder that freedom, citizenship, and self-government survive only when ordinary Americans choose to participate rather than withdraw.
This past weekend, I stood in Cunningham Park in Fresh Meadows, Queens, circulating a petition for a political candidate.
In about an hour and a half, I collected 30 signatures. On paper, that was a successful outing. But the more important story was not the number of signatures I collected. The more important story was the number of people I met who would not sign, could not sign, or had simply withdrawn from the political process.
The Center for Urban Renewal and Education president zeroes in on the critical importance of voting, elections and passing the Save America Act; socialism vs. capitalism; why Christians should think/live biblically; update on the state of Black progress; He’s the senior minister/elder at the Metro Church of Christ in Sterling Heights, MI, and host of the CURE America with Donald T. Eason podcast.

On December 26th 1776, George Washington led his troops in the forever immortalized Crossing of the Delaware on the way to the vital Battle of Trenton. A strategic move by Washington to bring a patriot victory after a string of defeats to the British, this momentous event was a turning point in the American Revolution. It boosted morale for the troops at a critical time when soldier contracts were about to expire and provided the Continental Army much needed momentum at a time when defeat seemed almost certain.
This year, we celebrate America’s semiquincentennial. As we approach America’s 250th birthday, it is an opportunity to reflect on our great nation and the great patriots who came before us to bring us to this momentous milestone. We are fortunate to live in the greatest country in the world, the United States of America, where we have so many rights, liberties, and freedoms. Our forefathers had the foresight to create a nation with such founding documents as to stand the test of time 250 years later while also evolving to become, as the Constitution says, “a more perfect Union.” Yet, no matter how much America evolves, we always stay true to the core principles that drove patriots to fight for American independence 250 years ago—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Showing and spreading patriotism can be done in many ways, but no matter how you do it, big or small, it is important to spread support for America to others because even one person can make a big difference. What better time to show our American spirit than during this year of celebrating the founding of the land of the free? America has provided so many opportunities for ourselves and our families, which is why it is so important to show love for the great country to which we owe so much.
There are numerous ways to get involved in the America 250 celebration. You can start by reading our founding documents, the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights, all three of which are available online and displayed in person at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. On July 3th, 2026, the famous Times Square Ball will drop once more to ring in Independence Day. On July 4th itself, there will be a parade of tall ships and international naval vessels in Manhattan, as well as a celebration including performances, speeches and fireworks in our nation’s capital, with flyovers in both cities. These are just some of the many festivities that are happening this year in honor of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the birth of the United States. For more information, visit america250.org.
Just as the Crossing of the Delaware and subsequent victory gave a patriotic morale boost, let America 250 be a reminder today and every day to love our great country. Patriotism lasts more than just a day or a year. When you truly love your country, patriotism lasts a lifetime.
