@CrossingUNStyle I am now faced with voting for a Democrat for the first time in 60 years. We had a great Governor in Ron Desantis, there is no way I am voting for Byron Donalds. He represents everything that is wrong in Politics.
For more than two centuries, the men and women of the Coast Guard have protected our homeland by land, air, and sea.
On the 236th anniversary of @USCG, we thank all of our Coast Guard heroes who have answered the call to serve our nation.
Semper Paratus!
@44MagnumBlue1 Marc and I were High School Classmates, we graduated in May 1967 and less than a year later, he died in combat. Our hometown raised a memorial to him; he was more than an inscription on a Wall in D.C.
As Will Rogers explained quite succinctly a 100 years ago- “Politics pretty quiet over the week-end. Democrats are attacking and the Republicans are defending. All the Democrats have to do is promise “what they would do if they got in.” But the Republicans have to promise “what they would do” and then explain why they haven’t already “done it.”
@CrossingUNStyle@AGHamilton29 American History is rife with examples, but 100 years ago the Battle of Little Big Horn was fought. Ironic how similar Trump is to General Custer, both led their "troops" to a "No Win" disaster.
At a GOP event last night, the Kentucky Speaker of the House ripped the mic out of Congressman Thomas Massie’s hand. They are so afraid of the Epstein Files, they will literally silence your voice.
RETWEET if you stand with @RepThomasMassie against the GOP!
Thank you @GovRonDeSantis for honoring President Reagan with the unveiling of this new statue in Miami yesterday, on his birthday. Now standing on @FIU’s campus, it's a fitting tribute to the man who warned: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.”
This is why @JayCollinsFL is the ONLY choice for FL governor!
Jay is committed to keeping @GovRonDeSantis's policies in place and building upon his winning streak.
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of the British Royal Family served more time in the military than the entirety of the Trump family bloodline combined
In 1867 the United States purchased Alaska for $7.2 millions dollars ($156 million in Today's dollars). At the time it was called "Seward's Folly", what would you call spending $700 billions dollars? Erik the Red convinced Norse colonists in 978 A.D. to settle in that desolated wasteland by calling Greenland. I imagine Donald Trump has a similar plan.
@CrossingUNStyle@RpsAgainstTrump For me it is has always resolved around the fact that like so many others that grew up with "money" he managed to "dodge the draft". I doubt if he ever wondered what "poor" New York kid died instead of him in Vietnam.
The Country will never "heal" or move on to reach it's full potential as long as we keep appointing people who put their own interests before the Country's. Florida has elected true leaders, yet they will never serve beyond their Term Limits while a "megalomanic" sits in the "White House" and rules with evil intent.
