@MarkDavis 63% of what? you want me to vote for guy that I’ve never voted for? start outreaching, quit trashing Cornyn, & give me reason to vote for guy I’ve never pulled the lever for. Telling me to get in line & I’m a democrat if I don’t, won’t do it.
Touching base all my mutuals I’m open to being your guest for @FIFAWorldCup game. Need to include my beloved (38 yrs & counting) as your guest too. Will all cover food drink parking AND commemorative photo because that’s what guests do!
@Yngwie77@EWErickson You know what it looks like. He went in without a plan, without a commitment to do whatever it takes, and he’s walking away like the guy said Obama 2.0. This is an utter failure for the president. We’re paying Iran billions, lying regime is still there.
On June 13, 1777, a 19-year-old French teenager landed on a beach in South Carolina, uninvited, to fight in someone else's war. He would become one of the most important men in American history.
The Marquis de Lafayette was one of the richest young aristocrats in France. He had a beautiful wife, a fortune, and zero reason to risk any of it. But he believed in the American cause so fiercely that when the French king forbade him from going, Lafayette bought his own ship and sailed anyway. He literally went AWOL from a life of luxury to bleed for a country that didn't exist yet.
Congress was annoyed at first. Another foreign officer looking for a paycheck? Then Lafayette offered to serve for free and pay his own way. That got their attention.
He met Washington and the two formed one of the great father-son bonds in American history. Washington had no biological children. Lafayette named his only son George Washington Lafayette.
He took a bullet in the leg at Brandywine and kept rallying the retreat. He was instrumental at Yorktown, the battle that won the war. He went home a hero on two continents.
A foreign teenager believed in America before America did. 249 years ago today.
Good lord, the persecution complex. No one ever hated Texas Tech. 80% of CFB had never even given Texas Tech a second thought until it went on a daily punchbowl-shitting spree in the last month.
