Before there was a Statue of Liberty there was Columbia, the female personification of the United States of America. Columbia, also the historical term for the Americas and the New World, was named for Christopher Columbus. Columbus is immensely important to America. #ColumbusDay
Columbus was the singular figure who discovered the New World for European adventure, leading directly to the founding of the United States. “Hail Columbia” was our national anthem. Our capital is the District of Columbia. This picture of his landing hangs in the Capitol Rotunda.
Christopher Columbus was an epochal character and a great man. His achievements cannot be overstated. Thank you, Christopher Columbus, for discovering America and changing the world.
"Immortal patriots, rise once more,
Defend your rights, defend your shore!"
Hail Columbia!
Another great one: “Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean”
The star spangled banner bring hither,
O'er Columbia's true sons let it wave;
May the wreaths they have won never wither,
Nor its stars cease to shine on the brave.
"O Columbia! the gem of the ocean,
The home of the brave and the free,
The shrine of each patriot's devotion,
A world offers homage to thee!"
"Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
When borne by the red, white and blue!"
When Americans soared thru the heavens to land on the moon their command module was named Columbia.
A perfect name for an American craft carrying brave explorers on their bold and glorious adventure.

Tucker Carlson & @DarrenJBeattie Discuss The Recent NYT Piece Vindicating Tucker Carlson & Revolver News' Reporting On The Presence Of FBI Informants On January 6th
Tucker: "So we called this, and we called it because revolver.news originally broke it."
.@DarrenJBeattie: "Look, the NYT is not out to do revolver.news any favors or to do you any favors. If the NYT is covering this, it's because the situation is far worse and there will be many more informants coming to light in the near future."
.@DarrenJBeattie: "Now that we know [the FBI] have informants the question re-presents itself: why didn't they do anything to stop it?"
