A passenger from Malawi was detained at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport after a detection dog flagged the bags.
Officers found more than two pounds of dead African mice meant as food and 22 pounds of beef.
The mice were packed in pages of The Nation newspaper. Authorities confiscated the goods because of fears of disease entering the United States.
John F. Kennedy - Secret Societies Speech
One of the best speeches of all time and I believe everyone should listen to this very closely right now. It’s more relevant now than ever.
The way this man is ignoring a whole lion just to get pics of some zebras is the level of focus I need in my life. The lion gave him that "Hello? Is this thing on?" tap. 🦁💀
Have you ever listened to President Reagan’s Farewell Address? He delivered it on January 11, 1989. It is around 20 minutes long and well worth the investment. You may find it acutely prophetic considering the events of the past decades.
From President Reagan’s Farewell Address:
“‘We the People’ tell the government what to do; it doesn’t tell us.”
“Our constitution is a document in which ‘We the People’ tell the government what it is allowed to do. ‘We the People’ are free.”
“As government expands, liberty contracts.”
“Thoughtfulness and knowledge.”
“Informed patriotism.”
“America is freedom.”
“Freedom is special and rare. It’s fragile; it needs protection.”
“We’ve got to teach history based not on what’s in fashion but what’s important.”
“We will never forget what the boys of Normandy did.”
“I’m warning of an eradication of the American memory that could result, ultimately, in an erosion of the American spirit.”
“All great change in America begins at the dinner table. So, tomorrow night in the kitchen, I hope the talking begins. And children, if your parents haven’t been teaching you what it means to be an American, let ‘em know, and nail ‘em on it. That would be a very American thing to do.”
