Independence Day is one of the few days when Americans come together to celebrate our country and the continued vision that our Founding Fathers crafted in 1776. But what is that vision? It seems with every passing July 4th, Americans lose even more of a sense of what the original intent of our nation was supposed to be. It's becoming increasingly important to read the Founding Fathers in their own words and to remember the vision that they cast for our nation. Here are our TOP 10 favorite Founding Fathers' quotes to help us remember their original views of government, freedom, and the American vision.

Is the New York Times COOKING THE BOOKS against 'Dark Future'?

Gary Hershorn / Contributor | Getty Images

Glenn's new book, 'Dark Future: Uncovering the Great Reset's Terrifying Next Phase' remains strong on the New York Times Bestseller List a month after its publication... but should it be ranked higher?

Currently, 'Dark Future' is ranked No.13. on the New York Times Bestselling Non-Fiction list. However, if the list were determined by raw sales alone, 'Dark Future' would have been ranked number SEVEN on the list. Moreover, while Greg Gutfeld's new book, 'The King of Late Night,' has fewer sales than 'Dark Future,' it continues to outrank 'Dark Future,' in the No. 5 slot.

And things get even fishier.

The current New York Times Bestselling nonfiction list excludes several books that outperform the top rankers on the list. For example, Granger Smith's faith-based nonfiction book, 'Like a River,' is excluded from the list, even though it has received nearly TWICE as many sales as the list's No. 1 spot, 'Outlive' by Dr. Peter Attia. Moreover, Chadwick Moore's new biography of Tucker Carlson, which he recently discussed on the Glenn Beck Program, is also excluded from the list, even though it would have outranked Gutfield's 'The King of Late Night' as well.

Several books are excluded that outperform the top rankers on the list.

Could the New York Timespurposefully be excluding and de-ranking books that don't fit their political agenda? This wouldn't be the first time the New York Times has been accused of "cooking the books."

Legendary author James Patterson, who holds the Guinness World Record for the most #1 New York Times bestsellers, recently criticized the list as "inaccurate." Patterson recounted how his recently published book, 'Walk The Blue Line,' which recounted real-life stories of law enforcement officers, wasn't even on the New York Times Bestseller List for the first week after publication, despite its sales outperforming its competitors. Once it was on the list, it continued to rank below books it had significantly outperformed.

This wouldn't be the first time that the New York Times has been accused of "cooking the books."

Patterson took to Twitter (now called X), to post his Letter to the Editor after the New York Times refused to publish it, calling out the double standard in their ranking system.

In response, the Times responded:

Our bestsellers lists are based on detailed analysis of book sales from a wide range of retailers, tens of thousands of brick-and-mortar stores of all sizes, and numerous online book-selling vendors to best represent what is selling across the United States.

However, Patterson hit the nail on the head: "If you don't base it on raw sales, you base it on cooked sales."

Is 'Dark Future,' and the other aforementioned books suffering from the same double standard that Patterson described? The raw sale numbers certainly indicate so. However, the fact that 'Dark Future' continues to rank on the list is a testimony to the book's success and the power of its scathing message against the world's elites.

POLL: Do aliens EXIST? Or is it just a PSYOP?

The nation was taken aback this year when whistleblower David Charles Gorusch, a decorated Air Force veteran, claimed the Department of Defense has a secret team aimed at "retrieving non-human origin technical vehicles, call it spacecraft if you will, non-human exotic origin vehicles that have either landed or crashed."

Talk about UFOs and aliens has typically been siloed to the realm of sci-fi and "conspiracy theories." However, in recent years, publicized evidence of UFOs and whistleblowers, like David Grusch, have brought the once fantastical subjects into the mainstream. Could it be that alien life forms do, in fact, exist? Have they already arrived and been kept secret underneath the government's nose? Or could this all be a ruse to distract us from more pressing stories in the news cycle?

Tomorrow's Glenn TV special will be all about ALIENS. Do they actually exist? Or is the topic a huge "psyop" to distract us from important issues...like Joe Biden's illicit business dealings?

We posted this poll earlier this year after David Gorsuch's bombshell testimony. Has YOUR opinion changed? Let us know in the poll below, and be sure to tune into TOMORROW'S Glenn TV special all about ALIENS.

Do you believe the government has intel about UFOs?

Do you believe the government has intel about alien life?

Do you believe the government is hiding this intel from the general public?

Do you believe alien life exists? 

Do you think the media is using this story to distract us from other issues?

The COMPLETE list of ALL Congress members 80 years and OLDER. Should we care?

The aging population of our Congress has become a trending news topic.

Last month 89-year-old Senator Feinstein had to be told what to say during a vote by one of her aides after a nearly two-month medical leave of absence with shingles. More recently, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had a concerning mental episode while giving a routine press briefing. Not to mention Joe Biden's relentless gaffes. As Glenn said this week, keeping these health-compromised elderly individuals in power is "elder abuse" and just plain "cruel."

Keeping health-compromised, elderly individuals in power is "elder abuse."

Both of these leaders are over 80, and their recent episodes have sparked many to ask: how old is "too old" to serve in Congress? This topic is a delicate one. However, the American people should be able to discuss whether age plays a factor in their representatives' and Senators' ability to carry out their duties in the best interest of their constituents.

How old is "too old" to serve in Congress?

There are 16 Congressmen and women who are 80 years old and older, some of which were born before World War II. There are many more who are on the cusp of 80, well past the normal age of retirement. Below you will find the complete list of ALL 16 Congressmen and women who are 80 and over. Do YOU think age should be a factor in determining your vote? Let us know in the comments below.
