It’s Friday. Another week gone, and another 40 million of your hard earned tax dollars were sent to the Taliban.
In fact government does this every week.
Pass the no Tax Dollars for Terrorist Act, and end this humiliation ritual.
There is not a sport on this planet that will ever touch Hockey.
Athleticism. Physicality. Intelligence. Toughness. RESPECT. Plus, you have to fight. Best sport on the planet
Pay attention Al-Qaeda, if you noticed our President rattled off all our ended wars in his speech on Iran, but did not mention Afghanistan because it’s not over. Don’t think you thought farther ahead than us, we have a whole generation who would love an excuse to take out the rest of the bin Laden dynasty. And the next time our warfighters won’t allow politicians to tie their hands. We now only fight to win.
Elbows Up Canadians chose to vacation in Mexico instead of the US.
Now they are surrounded by cartel warfare and Air Canada has cancelled flights out of Puerto Vallarta.
If you don’t go after what you want in life, you will never have it. Stop waiting for the perfect moment. Stop being afraid of failure. Get up and go for it. God’s got you.
Watching @usahockey compete on the international stage felt like stepping back into the good old days, when you could fly the American flag proudly without someone side eyeing you for it. When representing this country was not controversial. When dominating in international competition brought people together instead of sparking a culture war.
For a moment, it felt like we remembered who we are.
There was a time when Americans did not filter every relationship through politics. You loved your neighbors. You showed up for your community. You probably did not even know who they voted for, and it did not matter. We were competitors abroad and neighbors at home. Strong. Confident. United.
Somewhere along the way, media outrage cycles, political opportunists, and even outside actors learned that division was profitable, and they have been feeding it ever since. But the reaction to this team proves something important. More Americans crave unity, pride, and shared identity than whatever this current mess has become.
That instinct, the one that swells when you see your country represented with grit and excellence, is still there. It has not disappeared. It has just been drowned out.
Most Americans want to stand shoulder to shoulder again, not scream across trenches dug by algorithms and insufferable talking heads. The hunger for unity is stronger than the noise. It would be smart to see that instead of fighting it.
