I just think it’s funny that the “Patriot Front” jabroneys are too embarrassed to show their faces carrying the American flag. Not very patriotic.

Likewise, it’s funny that people who call themselves American patriots carry flags for a cause that sought to destroy America.

But, hey, if they want to march in equatorial heat to be mocked by pretty much everyone that’s cool.

I just don’t think they’ve thought through any of this very well.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Bingo. The far left & far right both come to the conclusion that America is irredeemable in one way or another--for what it was or for what it's becoming. Both think the system needs to be discarded and both are wrong. Never perfect, sometimes a step back, but always fixable. 🇺🇸

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

So what does this say about a system with only two parties when the MAGA cult runs one and a Socialist fringe is on the rise in the other? The moderate plurality are unaligned because they’re not seeing candidates that represent them in either party.

MAGA CNN is doing a report that the heritage Foundation is trying to get tapes of Biden‘s interview where he seemed to be impaired and wants to make them public.

Meanwhile, we have a president who’s turning the White House into an excavation site, who’s walking into walls, wandering off and rambling and talking about blowing up the whole world and falling asleep in meetings. what is wrong you guys this is what happens when one person owns all the media.

Spot on.

Trump is exactly what we knew he was. The harshest questions and criticisms of journalism today and history tomorrow are about how a generation of Republican politicians, partisan media, and US voters willingly chose to ignore it for power.

When Saints fans list their all time favorite running backs, Rueben Mayes rarely makes any list. Injuries & Dalton Hilliard are why.

But Mayes was one of only two Saints RBs to ever rush for 1K+ yards as rookie, and the forgotten 1986 ROTY.

George Will's son Jon has Down syndrome. In 2013, he wrote this celebrating Jon's 40th birthday.

You know, with other presidents, I just assumed he'd be in the Oval at night during a war. I didn't need a WH flack telling me, every other hour, that the President is, in fact, doing something.
Besides, I already knew he's up at night from the weird tweets.

WE MAY NEVER SEE THIS AGAIN:

#Saints icon Drew Brees used to walk home from practice through New Orleans with his family and was treated like royalty by the city.

Despite New Orleans having a reputation for crime, no one messed with Brees.

That city absolutely worshipped him.

[Shahriq Khan @RealShahriqKhan]

When I was Muslim, I compared Muhammad’s last words to Jesus’ last words.

Not just the facts, but the spirit behind them.

And bro, the difference is staggering. It shook my devout Muslim faith.

According to Sahih al-Bukhari, Muhammad’s final words included: “May Allah curse the Jews and the Christians. They made the graves of their prophets into places of worship.”

Those are words associated with his final moments.

No forgiveness. No reconciliation. No peace.

Now compare that to Jesus.

Beaten, betrayed, tortured, hanging on a cross with nails through His wrists, Jesus says:

“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

And then: “It is finished.”

One dies speaking curses.

The other dies extending forgiveness.

One ends by drawing lines and reinforcing division.

The other tears the veil and reconciles heaven and earth.

And whether people like it or not, final words reveal something deeply personal about the heart.

That contrast shook me.

Because one man’s final moments reinforced separation, while the other’s changed eternity through mercy, sacrifice, and love.

Please sit with that honestly.

I wrote this about Vance five years ago. "Instead of a truth-teller in his own community, Vance as a candidate has become a contemptible and cringe-inducing clown. His attempts at authenticity are so grating because they are so blatantly artificial."

En 1776, el malagueño Luis de Unzaga, gobernador de la Luisiana española, escribió una carta dirigida al “General de los Estados Unidos de América". Aquella carta, leída por George Washington, fue la primera vez en que una autoridad europea reconocía a la nueva nación. 🇺🇸🤝🇪🇸
Siglos después, los historiadores Frank Cazorla y Rosa García Baena, de la Universidad de Málaga, redescubrieron este episodio tras sus investigaciones en su obra El gobernador Luis de Unzaga. Precursor en el nacimiento de los Estados Unidos y en el liberalismo, destacando su visión conciliadora, su defensa de la educación bilingüe y su apoyo a la independencia estadounidense.
En el marco del 250º aniversario de los Estados Unidos, celebramos a quienes tendieron los primeros puentes entre España y EE.UU.

When you ponder the giant data center Kevin O’Leary is building in Utah, twice the size of Manhattan, remember the same schmuck who brought you Shark Tank also gave you The Apprentice. Mark fucking Burnett. Stop watching his shows. You really gonna miss The Voice? Pure Trash TV.

I don’t understand how an administration filled with cable news hosts is complaining about the media.

[David Shuster @DavidShuster]

Last night, CNN, TMZ, CBS and others reported the dinner gunman was “confirmed dead.” In fact, he was alive and had not been shot. (Just shot at). At a dinner honoring White House reporting, the rush to be first instead of being accurate was on full display. Speaks volumes.
