My father is Robert Hough Pipes, Ensign, USN, Lakehurst, New Jersey. He died in service 7660. There were survivors of the accident. Please reach out to me if your father was involved in the mission.🙏🏼
@lady_valor_07 My grandparents had an attic fan, floor fans, wore light weight clothing, stayed out of the sun, took cool baths, drank iced water or tea, ate watermelon and sherbet. They ran the sprinkler for the kids to run under. The front porch was usually the coolest place to be.
@GlennReib Anger is an addiction. It has many of the same side effects as substance abuse. Anger puts the soul in jeopardy. Anger for hire should have a disclosure label.
@SkylarSkye3 I’ve never been to NYC. Looks too busy for me. I live in a small town in NE Louisiana and I much prefer it to the hectic traffic in New Orleans and Baton Rouge.
America turns 250 this weekend, and we're celebrating with FREE national park entry! 🇺🇸
July 3-5, entrance fees are waived at national parks.
This is our history. Come experience it.
They say “America has no culture” and what they mean is that the Constitution and Bill of Rights, English common law, the language itself, Thanksgiving and the 4th of July, the nuclear family, the work ethic, rock n roll, country, plus every innovation that turned this place into the world’s superpower don’t count as real culture.
It’s just “whiteness,” this blank or oppressive thing that exists only to be critiqued and replaced.
And this line has become so dominant, so institutionalized in schools, media, HR departments, and elite culture that it’s now the standard water everybody swims in.
Most people don’t even clock it anymore because it’s treated like obvious truth instead of the radical self-erasure project it actually is.
But this isn’t a good faith argument at all, and it carries clear ulterior motives to justify the erasure of America’s historic core and the people who built it.
Because once you get Americans to accept that their culture is either nonexistent or evil, then mass demographic change, open borders, and tearing down the old traditions suddenly look like moral progress instead of an existential attack on everything that made the country function in the first place.
The reality though is that America has one of the strongest and most distinctive cultures on earth, forged from Western and Christian roots and supercharged by liberty and merit.
And the World Cup visitors are reminding us of exactly that right now.
Germans are going viral saying if you want to hate America watch the news but drive through it and meet the actual people.
Europeans are shocked by how genuinely warm, friendly, and generous Americans are in real life and can’t stop talking about the hospitality and customer service.
Japanese fans are writing poetry about unlimited free chips and salsa, while others are losing it over Texas brisket, ranch dressing on everything, Waffle House at 2 am, Buc-ee’s, the ridiculous size of Walmart, and free drink refills that never end.
These outsiders are cutting straight through the institutionalized narrative and showing us what we’ve been gaslit into taking for granted, and that is an abundant, open, high trust, high energy culture that actually works. Americans built it, they live it every day, and they are not apologizing for it or handing it over.
Just found out I was in the news for eating a Pub Sub, and that some Publix stores had extra long lines or online orders only for the past few days 🤩 Hey @Publix let’s talk honorary citizenship.
Imagine if they did this to every sector? @ChefGruel what happens if they freeze the price of your burgers at $4? Hey, burgers are a human right! But inflation is 5% & you still have to pay employees $20/hr and that goes up every year, but you CANNOT raise your prices. Then...?
.@RoyalFamily we understand you don’t comment on “political issues,” but this is not one. This is heartbreaking and horrifying. The girls and women of your country are in terror of having their lives destroyed by rape gangs, continuously.
How can you allow this to go on? How can you represent a country that allows this gross human rights disaster? You must do everything in your power and capacity to stop this.
