America is the most powerful empire. Yet, it has not annexed another sovereign country since 1898. It’s arguably the most morally constrained in history. No previous hegemonic power with military superiority exercised so little direct annexation during its period of dominance.
Percentage who say they are extremely or very proud to be American:
2001:
🟥Republicans: 90%
🟦Democrats: 85%
2026:
🟥Republicans: 92% (+0)
🟦Democrats: 36% (-56)
The Democrat change in just 25 years is insane.
So telling…
the more i learn about history, the more I appreciate America. America is actually an extremely cool and special anomaly in the timeline of civilizations. It's so successful that it's allowed the people inside it to lose touch with how bad things can truly be
What an appalling speech the Mayor of New York delivered for the 250th anniversary of the nation.
Sadly, it reflects the view of America propagated for years by Howard Zinn and his like-minded colleagues in the universities and believed by armies of the young: a dark, oppressive country where common people are denigrated by tyrants and oligarchs, where immigrants are treated with contempt, where those with “soft hands” hold the wealth created by those with dirty hands.
No sensible person would claim that our country is without flaws, but the relentlessly negative picture painted by Mayor Mamdani is just absurd.
And it is the fruit of the Marxism that, sadly, is all the rage today.
When challenged on the notion that America wasn’t founded as a Christian nation, Charlie Kirk responds: “9 out of the original 13 states required … a declaration of faith to be able to serve in government.”
America was founded as a Christian Nation.
@michaelshermer Regardless of one's personal beliefs, one must concede that the Bible is one of, if not the most important books shaping Western civilization. It would seem reasonable and appropriate to expose students to this book during the course of their studies.
Right into my veins!💉
Justice Thomas:
"Men and boys with gender dysphoria are not women or girls, even if they believe that they are. Sex is an immutable 'biological' characteristic...it is binary."
"To use language to obscure reality—to show 'indifference regarding the truth'—is to lie to the public..."
