Today, America wakes 250 years later as a beacon of hope, a republic entrusted to its people, an idea that changed the world.
A nation worth preserving. A dream worth pursuing. A freedom defended by every generation.
Happy 250th, America! 🇺🇸
@JeffKerrPHL@ProFootballHOF@PatMcAfeeShow Could be 41 if they put in Gary Collins. Played WR and Punter for the Browns. MVP of the 1964 Chompionship game. Caught the first TD on MNF. Stud of his era and absolute dawg.
I couldn't make it to Davos this year, but I'm delighted to see that my message has. Here's an enlightening exchange between two of the most successful businessmen in the world, Jensen Huang and Larry Fink, regarding the impact of AI on skilled labor. I watched it lie this morning, as I waited for the coffee to kick in. https://t.co/vpxLETDQkK The entire clip is 30 minutes, but I've attached a short clip wherein Jensen, the CEO at NVDIA, talks about "the greatest infrastructure project in the history of mankind," and the opportunities for those entering the skilled trades today.
Obviously, our workforce is nowhere near ready for what's coming. In fact, we're not ready for what's already here. We're going to need to dramatically rethink the way we train the men and women who will build the infrastructure in question, and the speed with which we do so. I'm heartened and encouraged to see Silicon Valley at the table, along with the current administration, who seems determined to reinvigorate the skilled trades by whatever means necessary.
At this point, it's only a matter of national security...
ICE is doing what should be very mundane work of deporting people who aren't allowed to be in the country anymore, by law. Just as they have for years.
However, a bunch of lunatics, encouraged by the media and reckless democrat officials, have decided that basic immigration enforcement is 'literally fascism' and declared war, turning routine enforcement activity into dangerous civil war cosplay. And people are getting hurt because of it.
The federal government has every right to enforce immigration law, in every jurisdiction of the country. The legal fiction of the 'sanctuary city' is completely irrelevant.
Municipalities don't get to set their own immigration policy, and they don't get to obstruct federal law enforcement.
And they certainly don't get to foment and deploy an army of dangerous foot soldiers to physically attack federal agents, for no other reason than a political disagreement over immigration law. It's actually insane that this even needs to be said.
These people are coming dangerously close to committing insurrection, and the consequences of that will be monumental. This is not the fight they want, and everyone with even half a brain should be urging these Democrats to seriously back off immediately.
If Democrats believe our immigration laws are wrong, we have an election coming up in November and they can run on an explicit platform of repealing these laws, ending immigration enforcement, and re-opening the border.
But they won't, because they know that platform is a loser outside of a very few very far-left districts. So they'll continue to pretend that routine immigration enforcement is actually a replay of 1939 Germany, and continue to send mentally unwell liberal women and antifa activists out to risk injury and legal peril in order to win a few news cycles.
Very very sad. And it needs to stop.
Buffett: "Life today is better in almost every way. You’ve got to figure that you started at a pretty lucky spot just by being born when you were. Imagine staying in some cosmic waiting room for hundreds of thousands of years and then getting dropped into the present — not bad timing. So I would focus on what’s been good in your life, rather than what’s gone wrong. Yes, bad things happen — sometimes very bad things. But life can still be wonderful."
U.S. Fire Administration Administrator @drloriusfa: "America is burning and we need to be attentive to all methods of fire that is bringing that about."
Bob Barker was a staple of so many childhoods. A game show host icon. He gave us one of the greatest fight scenes in movie history. He was a legend and will remain one forever. Thanks for all the memories Bob. Rest easy.
