I‘m currently going through my DMs here and the hospitality from Americans is INCREDIBLE 😳
The number of people who have invited me to their barbecues, offered to show me their cities, take me to sports events, on boat trips and even want to give me in their vacation homes (!!!) for a week…I am blown away.
Every single message means the world to me. This would never happen back home in Germany. Thank you USA 🇺🇸❤️
World Cup social media has been World Class.
From the Japanese cleaning the stadium to the bagpipes in Boston, from the gas station reviews to the USMNT win.
It’s been 100x of what I expected.
It’s great to see people enjoying our stadiums & hospitality while sharing their own.
Adam Carolla tells Jerry Seinfeld he recognized something on the Seinfeld set that completely ruined the show for him.
It proved the show was shot in LA, not New York.
When Seinfeld premiered in 1989, Carolla was working on earthquake retrofits in Koreatown.
The moment he saw the tension anchor plates bolted to the outside of Jerry’s apartment building, he knew, “This is not New York,” and it took him “completely out of it.”
Those plates are used to strengthen buildings against earthquakes, a common sight in California, but not in Manhattan.
CAROLLA: “I would see those tension anchor plates, the square plates on the outside of the apartment building. And I put those plates on for a living.”
“I would look at those anchor plates and I’d go, ‘This is not in New York.’”
SEINFELD: “We didn’t have guys to do earthquake rehab. We didn’t have Photoshop to get rid of them.”
Seinfeld asked how those tension plates work, and Carolla gave him a highly technical answer he wasn’t mentally prepared for.
[Carolla explains how they work]
SEINFELD: “I’m going to need some more coffee to get through this. I’m fading… You’re not the first to mention those things. And let’s move on.”
Sometimes it takes a guy who swung a hammer to see what 30 million weekly viewers missed.
I agree with this statement, and am grateful to @SecWar Hegseth for correcting the error:
“The Pentagon’s job is not to adjudicate theological debates, but instead to ensure sincerely-held faith is respected and encouraged in our ranks.”
Michael Knowles today on Mormon controversy:
"But I have to come out here in defense of the Mormons, because if trinitarian theology is the criterion [to be Christian], why are the Jehovah's Witnesses listed as Christian? Why are the Christian Scientists who deny the Trinity?
I'm not changing my views about the Trinity or the essential aspects of the Creed, but it does seem to me that the Mormons are being unfairly singled out here.
Everybody beats up on the Mormons all the time. Mormons are very reliable Republican voters. They live very, very good family lives. They're model citizens in many, many ways. And I do think this would be an example of them being unfairly singled out."

Gov. Spencer Cox declared June "Fidelity Month in Utah."
In his declaration, Cox said that American support for traditional values has "significantly declined."
"A majority of Americans no longer esteem values like faith, family, patriotism or community involvement," he continued.
He said it is "imperitive" that Utah's "recommit" themselves to the pursuit of fidelity, defined as "dedication to faith, family and country." https://t.co/PBXWas9WHs
