Principal Officer Karl Duckworth paid a visit to Her Excellency Dame Cecile La Grenade Governor-General of Grenada to convey the best wishes of the American people on the 245th anniversary of their independence from Great Britain.

“The 4th of July is not only a celebration of our independence; it is a recognition of our shared democratic values of individual rights and equal justice under law,” said Principal Officer Duckworth. “The recent inclusion of Juneteenth among American holidays acknowledges that the right to ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’ is fundamental to all people, and we value the partnership of the Grenadian people in working toward that goal.”

Principal Officer Duckworth shared that the United States is on track to complete the new emergency operations centre (EOC) and warehouse in Morne Jaloux and sister EOC in Carriacou this year, thanks to the US$6 million investment by US Southern Command. In tandem with these local projects, the United States has raised its climate response, rejoined the Paris Agreement, and set ambitious goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow global warming. This work by the United States, alongside its global Covid-19 response including more than 45,000 free vaccines for Grenada, demonstrates its partnership with Grenada for a more secure, prosperous, and democratic Caribbean.

    Looking at the photos… More Virtue Signalling.

    Presumably these Politician/Breauaucrat types have had at least two mRNA injections. Yet they still love to wear the pointless mask.

    How long is this ridiculous charade going to continue?

    The United States is a Republic and not Democracy…..thats why Individual Rights and Free Freedom was core to Paine, Jefferson and Adams, who all influenced the Declaration of Independence.

    Grenada is more Democratic majority mob rule…… and to hell with Individual Rights and Freedoms.

    Juneteenth is a joke and Biden gimmick that means little except in Texas. Blacks were still Slaves in the Northern colonies of Kentucy, Maryland, Deleware, etc. until December 18th 1865.

    Few people understand what real Individual Freedom and Liberty means any more and simply go along with Democratic Mob rule.

    So Salute to the Slave Holding Founding Fathers who at least in there day, understood what individual Freedom meant for a White man.

      Black people are the most free in America, look at them today. Only thing I see holding back blacks in America is the lack of Unity and the Victim mentality. They are always continuing to make excuses for problems they create for themselves and feel like they should continue to live off the past so they go ahead into the future with it. Black people need to start doing things for themselves and start being independent. They need to start what is really Black owned and start supporting Black owned and what is all by black people.
