@steveazar Congrats on your son’s graduation from UMMC med school! Saw you dropping the white jacket on him-both my son and sweet daughter-in-law graduated with him. Of course, my wife was asked to do the white coat. I don’t rank high enough.

For my British and European friends who are "shocked" and "surprised", here are 10 reasons you didn't see this coming.

Read this short post and then read the replies from our American friends who will confirm what I'm saying.

1. Americans love their country and want it to be the best in the world. America is a nation of people who conquered a continent. They love strength. They love winning. Any leader who appeals to that has an automatic advantage.

2. Unlike Europeans, Americans have not accepted managed decline. They don't have Net Zero here, they believe in producing their own energy and making it as cheap as possible because they know that their prosperity depends on it.

3. Prices for most basic goods in the US have increased rapidly and are sky high. What the official statistics say about inflation and the reality of people's lives are not the same.

4. Unlike you, Americans do not believe in socialism. They believe in meritocracy. They don't care about the super rich being super rich because they know that they live in a country where being super rich is available to anyone with the talent and drive to make it. They don't resent success, they celebrate it.

5. Americans are the most pro-immigration people in the world. Read that again. Seriously, read it again. Americans love an immigrant success story. They want more talented immigrants to come to America. But they refuse to accept people coming illegally. They believe in having a border.

6. Americans are sensitive about racial issues and their country's imperfect history. They believe that those who are disadvantaged by the circumstances of their birth should be given the opportunity to succeed. What they reject, however, is the idea that in order to address the errors of the past new errors must be made. DEI is racist. They know it and they reject it precisely because they are not racist.

7. Americans are the most philosemitic nation on earth. October 7 and the pro-Hamas left's reaction shocked them to their very core because, among other things, they remember what 9/11 was like and they know jihad when they see it.

8. Americans are extremely practical people. They care about what works, not what sounds good. In Europe, we produce great writers and intellectuals. In America they produce (and attract) great engineers, businessmen and investors. Because of this, they care less about Trump's rhetoric than you do and more about his policies than you do.

9. Americans are deeply optimistic people. They hate negativity. The woke view of American history as a series of evils for which they must eternally apologise is utterly abhorrent to them. They believe in moving forward together, not endlessly obsessing about the past.

10. America is a country whose founding story is one of resistance to government overreach. They loathe unnecessary restrictions, regulations and control. They understand that freedom comes with the price of self-reliance and they pay it gladly.

@steveazar @supertalk Oh, the childhood memories. RIP, sir. You will be missed.

About a year and a half ago, our town was devastated by a tornado. This fall, our kids will play/perform at HOME in this beautiful new stadium. #amorystrong

A lot of love, blood, sweat and tears were demolished Friday night. So many memories made in this little stand. Band parents are a resilient lot, though. Our kids are too important-we will be back! @maroonband @CollegeMarching @AmoryBands

[Richard Wall @Rwall87]

We will be back. Thanks to God's mercy and grace, we will persevere. Thank you so much to so many folks who have swarmed our community to help. @supertalk @SportsTalkMiss @paulgalloshow

@SportsTalkMiss Another couple of views I got from above. These are 90-110yr old pines, snapped, twisted, and uprooted. It is absolutely unreal. We were right on the edge of the path. Further west and north is a disaster. Sports complex at high school is destroyed.

Dear left wing and right wing political haters and lunatics... I see your garbage this morning. But, nobody cares about what you have to say after a tornado tragedy with loss of life. Maybe stay off Twitter for a while. Do us a favor and sit the next play out.

Your pal James.
