I didn’t recite “with liberty and justice for all” every day as a kid just to be called a woke libtard for wanting liberty and justice for ALL as an adult. Some of you clearly weren’t listening.

Happy Fourth.

@Kwash206 @Joss1392 @alexSSN You’re wrong

It will forever bother me that Sandlot gets grouped with other 90s youth sports underdog movies. It's so much more than that. It's one of the of the greatest coming-of-age movies of all time. It's not a baseball movie. It's a friendship movie.

The Sandlot has the single greatest vision of American life ever put on film.

This scene is what it’s all about. 🇺🇸

A rural Arkansas school district was hemorrhaging $250,000 a year and couldn't keep teachers. So residents voted to take out a $5.4 million bond, upgrade every building in the district, and install 1,400 solar panels.

Three years later, the deficit flipped to a $1.8 million surplus.

The project wasn't just solar. Energy efficiency upgrades across all six schools, new lighting, HVAC systems, windows, and thermostats cut energy consumption by 1.6 million kilowatts annually.

The panels, some installed as a canopy at the school entrance and some on unused district land, generated enough excess electricity that the district started selling it back to the grid. Monthly utility bills dropped from $17,000 to $4,000.

The school board voted to put the savings into paychecks. Teachers saw raises averaging $2,000 to $3,000 a year, with some receiving up to $15,000 depending on tenure.

Batesville went from one of the lowest-paying districts in Arkansas to one of the highest-paying in its county. Resignations slowed and applications went up.

Taxpayers funded the upfront cost through the bond. The savings paid it back and then some. "Batesville has reduced the checks they write to utilities," said the energy company that managed the project, "and increased the checks they write to teachers."

At least 20 nearby districts have since copied the model. Nine thousand schools across the US now run on solar. Batesville was the first to route the savings directly into teacher salaries.

Watched the World Cup game socially.

Heard “Country Roads”.

Immediately went to YouTube to watch the 2010 Big East Tournament title game ending between West Virginia & Georgetown.

Da’Sean Butler was incredible that week.

17 weeks from Sunday we will have college basketball.

@hollowbighorn @EWErickson But that isn’t the case

[Elisha Miller @EJColMill]

Honestly, I’m up to page 36 of his 91 page opinion and I’m using his own sources to verify the claims he makes…

And the more I read, the more he’s actually convincing me - someone who doesn’t think the 14th amendment should apply to children of illegal migrants or temporary visitors runs- that the majority is actually correct on the law.

A lot of the things he claims are not supported by the sources he references, and in fact, even his own sources, wind up contradicting him. And he keeps spending so much time talking about the citizenship status of adult visitors, that he hasn’t really done much to present a compelling case of how the status of the parent influences the status of the child.

I love that we get a show no matter what happens.
A law stays the same, Cracker Barrel changes their logo, there's a black person in a car commercial, someone uses a convection oven - the "hysterical man" show comes on no matter what

[Frank J. Fleming @IMAO_]

I'm a bit baffled by the people on the right acting like the sky is falling because birthright citizenship will be interpreted the same way it has been for the past one hundred years.

[Ian @IanWall55]

@SleepyCornPop @DavidAFrench He “hates” that the 14th amendment was upheld. You settle down.
