Today, we remember a legend.
On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.
Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.
He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.
Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.
Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

Forever in our hearts.
@daveweigel SCOVA struck the redistricting referendum bc the GA failed to hold an intervening election between the two required approvals. ‘Election’ means the full voting process, not just Election Day (per Black’s Law). 1st passage came after early voting began, so results are nullified.
Jared Kushner walked into a region every “serious expert” had written off as unsolvable and quietly helped flip multiple Arab states from cold hostility to open normalization with Israel. That doesn’t happen if you’re dumb, it happens if you see leverage points the think-tank class missed for 30 years.
Meanwhile Glenn’s big move is to sit on the sidelines and pretend a guy who helped deliver historic agreements is just another cartoon oligarch.
Spectator/Hater Mentality: Sneer at the person on the field actually changing the map, then act shocked when serious players would rather invest in his judgment than in another bitter monologue.
@DefiantLs Me: William & Mary MBA (Mason School of Business), graduated top of class with 4.0 GPA
My wife: University of Richmond School of Law, JD, top 10% of class (3.81 GPA), Order of the Coif
Both of us are Trump supporters and have successful big law and corporate careers.

WE GOT HIM! My fellow Americans, over the past several hours, the United States Military pulled off one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History, for one of our incredible Crew Member Officers, who also happens to be a highly respected Colonel, and who I am thrilled to let you know is now SAFE and SOUND! This brave Warrior was behind enemy lines in the treacherous mountains of Iran, being hunted down by our enemies, who were getting closer and closer by the hour, but was never truly alone because his Commander in Chief, Secretary of War, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and fellow War Fighters were monitoring his location 24 hours a day, and diligently planning for his rescue. At my direction, the U.S. Military sent dozens of aircraft, armed with the most lethal weapons in the World, to retrieve him. He sustained injuries, but he will be just fine. This miraculous Search and Rescue Operation comes in addition to a successful rescue of another brave Pilot, yesterday, which we did not confirm, because we did not want to jeopardize our second rescue operation. This is the first time in military memory that two U.S. Pilots have been rescued, separately, deep in Enemy Territory. WE WILL NEVER LEAVE AN AMERICAN WARFIGHTER BEHIND! The fact that we were able to pull off both of these operations, without a SINGLE American killed, or even wounded, just proves once again, that we have achieved overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies. This is a moment that ALL Americans, Republican, Democrat, and everyone else, should be proud of and united around. We truly have the best, most professional, and lethal Military in the History of the World. GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS, AND HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!

I'm a Christian, an American, and the Babylon Bee's owner. You're a foreign operative who praises Hitler and lies about being one of us to try and influence American opinions and politics.
I'm proud to be your enemy.
Harmeet Dhillon would be an exceptional Attorney General.
She’s an excellent communicator, transparent, & has been at the forefront of election integrity — suing states for their voter rolls to ensure that only American citizens can vote.
@TheInsiderPaper It’s because between 80-90% of vapes sold in the U.S. are illicit, we have no idea what ppl are putting in their system. The FDA has started getting a little better, but thy really need to crack down on illegal sales of Chinese vapes.
