White House advisor Stephen Miller joined with Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Thursday to honor the National Guard for their efforts to keep Washington, D.C. safe ahead of America’s 250th Anniversary.
Miller shared words of inspiration to the troops as rabid, hate-filled left-wing agitators in the background tried their best to disrupt the event.
“All of civilization can be fundamentally divided into two groups of people: Builders and Destroyers,” Miller said. “The people who do the work to build, sustain, and nurture civilization. The people who serve, who sacrifice, who give, who care for others. Who protect others. Who defend others.”
🚨 WOW! Stephen Miller just said it PERFECTLY:
“All of civilization can be fundamentally divided into two groups of people: BUILDERS and DESTROYERS.”

“And those who only destroy. Who litter, who rob, who graffiti, who deface, who degrade,” he continued, before praising the Guardsmen. “Civilization only exists because of people like you. People who choose to serve, who choose to sacrifice, who choose to build, who choose to dedicate themselves to some cause greater than their own family.”
Miller told the troops they are “the reason why America’s future is brighter than it’s ever been before.”
“So on behalf of President Trump, on behalf of the White House, on behalf of the US government, and on behalf of the American people, thank you,” he concluded. “You have our everlasting gratitude. God bless and happy Independence Day.”
The communist left hates the fact that President Donald Trump has cleaned up D.C. ahead of this year’s celebration of 250 years as a nation. They hate the fact that the Guard has helped deliver record lows in crime and debauchery, which have become Democratic trademarks.
Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:
This sums up the difference between capitalism and communism/socialism
Capitalism allows for infinite growth, it can be beneficial, it can be detrimental, it can give and it can take but it always causes growth and allows for mankind to ascend in every facet of our society…

One thing I can say and that is, I’m very proud of my family because when they came over from Italy in 1908 they all worked hard and they built the town that I am still a part of and my dad who basically grew up not having much is going to be 89 years old and he still works just…

We have Builders making America great again and Destroyers trying to tear it all down.
The losers are losing bigly!
