America at 250: Dying Republic or Patriotic Rebirth? War, Economic Slavery & Principles | WTP #157

As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, Sal Assante delivers a raw, unflinching reflection on where our nation stands. From endless foreign entanglements and the Iran conflict draining our blood and treasure, to skyrocketing inflation, crushing taxation, and an affordability crisis making the American Dream nearly impossible for working families. Sal contrasts our Founding principles with today’s reality: government surveillance, a new elite ruling class, and free speech under attack. Honesty is always the best policy — yet it’s in short supply in Washington. 🔗 Useful Links: Follow on Substack: https://wethepatriots.substack.com/ Tune in on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2SQoJWT...
