These people really are the best. Money is fleeting. Congress can fck that up at will, but trees are for as long as we're willing to take care of them.
We dropped a nuclear bomb on Japan, twice, and 80 years later they light up their cities in our colors as a show of how much they love us.
Meanwhile, we bailed half of Europe out, twice, and their governments take every last opportunity to signal how much they despise us.
If your rule of constitutional interpretation leads you to conclude your nation must destroy itself then your rule of constitutional interpretation is wrong.
You are allowed to not want a billion people in your country. You are allowed to want a nation for your people. You are allowed to want more than a creedal nation that has no creed.
This is a good reminder that diverse American cities are more dangerous for civilians than active war zones
Charlotte has a higher civilian casualty rate than Ukrainian civilians
Places like East St. Louis are more dangerous than Ireland during the Troubles, or Rhodesia during the Bush War
Some of our worst cities even have higher civilian casualty rates than Iraq during most years of the insurgency
The domestic anarchy we allow is obscene, and could be turned off simply by hanging and punishing criminals again, but that isn't done because the regime is pro-crime
Teddy Roosevelt did save football.
In 1905, college football was a brutal, deadly mess as 19 players died that season alone from crushing mass formations, flying wedges, and unchecked violence, sparking nationwide calls to ban the sport.
President Theodore Roosevelt, a passionate football fan who prized the “strenuous life,” stepped in. He summoned coaches and reps from Harvard, Yale, and Princeton to the White House, urging them to clean up the game without turning it “ladylike.”
His pressure helped spark radical 1906 rule changes: legalizing the forward pass, creating a neutral zone, requiring more men on the line, and doubling first-down distance to 10 yards. These reforms opened up the field, reduced pile-up carnage, and birthed the modern game, while also leading to the formation of what became the NCAA. Teddy didn’t just love football; he helped save it from extinction.
One of the most radicalizing things you can do is just look at video footage from only a short while ago and see what life was like before we let the entire world invade our country.
Borders are imaginary lines on a map, until you give birth past a certain one, and then US citizens are forced to fund cradle to grave healthcare, housing, schooling, and food
