“And what about our sins? Slavery was the original sin, and I won’t sand it down. The founders knew it. Jefferson knew it, and he owned slaves — the hypocrisy was staring right at them, and they kept kicking the can down the road. But here is what a poisoned telling of our history leaves out: the New England colonies began rejecting slavery before England itself did. And when the reckoning finally came, hundreds of thousands of men died on battlefields to make other men free. “As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,” read the original lyrics of the Battle Hymn of the Republic. That’s propitiation. One man suffers so others go free. A nation that will bleed that much to right its own wrong is not an evil nation. It is a great one, straining toward becoming a more perfect one. We had a black president. We had a black vice president. Our Secretary of State is the son of Cuban refugees. Anyone telling you the story that nothing here ever gets better is selling you something.”

Socialism may sound appealing to some people today but history shows it has failed in many countries.
Just look at Venezuela, Cuba, the Soviet Union and others. Those countries faced economic decline, shortages, and a loss of freedom. We shouldn’t repeat those mistakes.
Many young people are struggling with high housing costs, student debt and uncertainty about their future. Those are real problems and we shouldn’t ignore them. But history shows that socialism doesn’t solve those problems. It often leads to less freedom, less innovation, and fewer opportunities.
Instead of abandoning the system that has created so much opportunity, we should fix what’s broken while protecting the freedoms that have made America a country that millions of people still dream of coming to.
@Tim_Walz I do not support this…but…it’s not stealing from taxpayers through fraud and through NGOs. I cannot believe how politicians enrich themselves through these. How much money did democrats give to NGOs on the way out of office?
Can confirm the Jazz are bringing back Jusuf Nurkić. The 2-year, $22 million deal is below what many believed Nurk would garner on the FA market, but the situation is helped by how much Nurk truly enjoyed last season, playing for Will Hardy and how valued he felt by the Jazz
Bill Maher: “If you don’t know what’s going on in Nigeria, your media sources suck. You are in a bubble. And again I’m not a Christian, but they are systematically killing the Christians in Nigeria.”
Through the talk, the speculation and the smoke, there was only one way for the Utah Jazz to go. And that way they went. A column on the No. 2 pick, is here. Please read - https://t.co/wIM89Eq6RN
@Birdie2Bogey_@TCTone Exactly. I’ve decided I don’t like pinehurst. Rough off the fairway set up with plants to only randomly punish errant tee shots and Bryson was rarely punished.
Unreleased footage that shows the Spurs in utter confusion coming out of the timeout before the OG tip in. MUST watch, sound up. Link to full breakdown below 👇🏀
Game 4 is just honestly a brutal watch and it's totally because of the way the series has been officiated for the first three games. Now that they've allowed crazy contact everywhere, neither team knows where the line is and officials are having to make adjustments on the fly.
That Towns second foul is an insane call. Wemby had multiple chances to get his arm out. Can't believe they changed that call. Totally changed the game with that one.
