Landed in Atlanta for the World Cup a while ago. Stopped in Waco, right off I-20. I love Americans.

Every American has at least one state that they will spit venom at without provocation, and I think that’s beautiful.

🚨The HERO who confronted the Sudanese migrant who attempted to behead a man in Belfast is here on X!

What a patriot 🫵🫡👇

I have some good news and some invasive New World screwworms.

[MrHobbes @VintageMrHobbes]

Phenomenal - attempting to behead someone is actually a form of integration

@AlexanderPayton Some may call these things ‘microagressions’

For non-Irish following events in Belfast, just to show you what was used to save the victim. This is a hurley stick or hurl (not a hurley bat!). It’s used in the Irish games of hurling & camogie to hit a small ball called a sliotar. Hurling is one of the most ancient games in the world & one of the fastest, requiring great skill. It’s a game deeply embedded in our mythology & is central to the stories of one of our ancient heroes, Cú Chulainn, who used a hurl & sliotar to save himself from being attacked by a fierce hound. So even in Irish mythology, the hurl was used to save a life.

Please continue to pray for the victim of the attack in Belfast, for his family, & the people of the city.

NEW: Last night's rescue of two U.S. pilots marks the first U.S. use of an autonomous sea drone in real-world rescue — the 24-foot Corsair can travel over 1,000 nautical miles at speeds above 35 knots.

So the Atlantic and Pacific are ours, like they belong to us, right? But they touch other countries, too. I have a problem with that.

If you meet a European on tour in the US for the World Cup keep in mind that:
> they could afford to visit here
> they like the World Cup enough to visit here
> they qualified for a visa here
> they are unlikely to be the Europoors hurling insults at us on this platform

Show them our greatest hospitality so they can tell their poor, resentful cousins what it's really like here in America.

No ha empezado el Mundial y Noruega ya tiene las 3 mejores fotos de equipo.

La primera antes de viajar, disfrazados de vikingos.

La segunda, su foto oficial, con la camiseta de Noruega, todos perfectamente alineados.

La tercera, ahora, todos los jugadores con las camisetas de su primer club.

Qué grandes los vikingos.
