@WGNOtv There are fundamental differences between the electricity market in Virginia and electric market here in Louisiana. Apples and oranges.

So long, America🫡🇺🇸

49 days ago we landed in the USA to follow our country at the World Cup. We had no idea it would turn into the trip of a lifetime.

Thank you to everyone who followed along, and to all the people we met who made this journey even more special. We honestly don’t have the words to express how grateful we are for everything you did for us.

This trip exceeded every expectation we had. We came here with an open mind, wanting to experience as much of the country as possible. I still remember telling my friends on the flight to Atlanta that I hoped we’d get to meet a few locals on this trip. Now we’re flying home with friends all across the USA.

Before we came, we heard so many stereotypes and warnings about America. People told us about safety concerns, that they might check our social media at the border, and all kinds of other things. None of it matched our experience. This was probably the most welcoming country we’ve ever visited.

So if you have the chance to travel, do it. The world isn’t nearly as bad as the media often makes it seem. 99% of people are awesome!

I heard this quote somewhere during the World Cup, and I think it sums up our experience perfectly:

“If you want to hate the world, watch the news. If you want to love it, travel it.”

Thank you, America ❤️🇺🇸

I would’ve loved for the many, many reporters covering SEC Media Days to actually ask about football. Every post I see is about Kiffin and other coach’s feelings about Kiffin. Pitiful coverage.

SEN. KENNEDY: "Are they having to compete with other countries who grow oysters and shrimp in a ditch and shoot them full of antibiotics?"

SEC. ROLLINS: "100%, yes."

SEN. KENNEDY: "If you eat too much of that foreign shrimp and oysters, you'll grow an extra ear, won't you?"

SEC. ROLLINS: "I'm not sure about that, but I know it is not good."

SEN. KENNEDY: "Why aren't we inspecting the shrimp and the oysters from abroad?"

SEC. ROLLINS: "Well, it goes much larger than that. Why are we importing so much from abroad, which goes to the president's trade agenda."

N.J. GOV. MIKIE SHERRILL

“Last week I learned that a serious software error in New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle System led to the registration of roughly 6,600 people who indicated that they were not U.S. citizens between June 2023 and June 2024, almost three years prior to my taking office. These individuals answered ‘no’ when asked on a keypad whether they were a U.S. citizen when applying for drivers' licenses and identification cards, but through no fault of their own, the system registered them anyway.

We spent our afternoon in Nashville visiting the Country Music Hall of Fame. As new fans of the genre, it was amazing to learn about the history and all the incredible stories behind it. Before today, we only knew about ten country artists. Now it feels like we know them all.

[Freddy🇩🇪 @FreddyLA7]

We’re at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville tonight, which we’ve been told is the most historic and legendary country music venue in the world. There are many different artists here who each perform a couple of songs. It feels like the ultimate country music experience.

Knapp says Monroe posted the fastest job growth of any metro area, fueled by construction of Meta’s $50 billion data center. Six of the state’s ten metro areas added jobs, while Houma and Shreveport are among the four that lost jobs.

Tennessee❤️

When people told us at the beginning of our road trip that people in the South are different, we didn’t really know what they meant. But after spending several weeks here, we finally understand.

The hospitality here is just something else. Everyone knows everyone, and it feels like people are living one big shared life. Someone is always stopping by, doors are always open, and everyone is welcome.

One guy told us he hasn’t locked his house in 23 years. When we were out on the lake, we met some people who immediately invited us to their lake house to hang out. They offered us drinks, chicken wings, and made us feel completely at home. It’s a kind of hospitality I’ve never experienced before.

When we got back to the dock late that night, one of the guys on the boat said something that really stuck with me:

“You don’t have to live in some big, exciting city. What matters is the people who live there. That’s what makes you happy. I’ve lived in many places around the world, but nothing comes close to Ocoee, Tennessee. And you know the best part about living here? We’re going to do the exact same thing again tomorrow.”

We will be back.
