A brave British woman tells it like it is to a Muslim man and a fake priest:
โOne million British children have been raped by Muslim men in the last 20 years. How are we supposed to reconcile and accept that?โ
Maybe the foreigners have it right. Maybe the eagle and the flyover and the canyon and the kindness of a stranger with car keys really are worth crossing an ocean to see. Maybe, watching them fall in love with the place we take for granted, we could fall in love with it again ourselves and decide to be a little more charitable to the neighbor God told us to love, even when we cannot stand how he votes.

My favorite thing about the World Cup isnโt even the soccer. Itโs watching our international guests discover America.
One woman from just discovered that the Amish are real. Not โrealโ as in a historical footnote. Real as in horse-and-buggy, no electricity, still-here-today real. She wrote the most wonderfully wholesome thread about it.
Then there are the people discovering Buc-eeโs for the first time. Honestly, I understand the reaction. The first time I walked into one, I lived in Texas and was still completely overwhelmed. You donโt โstop for gasโ at Buc-eeโs. You enter a parallel dimension where there are 120 gas pumps, enough jerky to feed a small nation, and people leave with armloads of merchandise they never intended to buy.
Watching visitors discover Buc-eeโs, the Amish, county fairs, roadside attractions, and all the other uniquely American things has been unexpectedly hilarious, heartwarming, and fun. Sometimes it takes fresh eyes to remind us just how interesting this country really is. ๐บ๐ธ
