Every knee shall bow

Every tongue shall confess

That Jesus is Lord

[Cybrarian First @cybrarianfirst]

This is amazing! I wish it would happen more often. Then college students would actually be able to learn.

[Laura Ingraham @IngrahamAngle]

Put down the phones. Pick up the books.

Schools that are bringing back pen-and-paper learning and banning phones are seeing remarkable results.

Turns out kids learn better when they're reading, writing, and thinking—not scrolling.

🚨🚨 BREAKING: One day the sky will open, the trumpet will sound, and Jesus Christ will return. Be ready.

[Brianna Lyman @briannalyman2]

In 7 months Democrats have elected/nominated:

-A man who fantasized about murdering Republicans/their children

-A man with a NAZI tattoo

-An Al Qaeda volunteer

-A woman who said the US is an "effing disgrace"

-A woman who said 9/11 was our fault

This is who the party is

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Chicago’s clown mayor Brandon Johnson declared a “state of emergency” over the alleged epidemic of trans people being murdered in the city.

POP QUIZ: can you guess how many trans people were murdered in the entire state of Illinois last year?

50?

25?

Try zero. Yes, zero.

Virginia Democrats proposed a budget that increased government spending by $9 million dollars every single day.

The rest of us have to live within our means. Democrats just raise taxes and keep spending other people’s money.

[Cybrarian First @cybrarianfirst]

I really should have posted during the recent ACL Conference, because we usually tweet out the notes for workshops we attend. Just did not do it this year. I feel like some social apps are on the decline and other forms are on the rise. You think so?

[Cybrarian First @cybrarianfirst]

Yikes. Of course they did. Always pay yourself first I suppose.

[Karen Hamilton @KarenHamiltonVA]

Virginia Democrats gave teachers an 8% raise over the next two years. They gave themselves an 184% raise.

WOW.

[Kevin Sorbo @ksorbs]

DEI
Division. Entitlement. Indoctrination.

[Cybrarian First @cybrarianfirst]

So sad. People just need to be saved and come to Jesus!

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

Juneteenth weekend in Chicago:

-40 people shot
-8 people dead
-1 mass shooting with 13 shot including children

Everyone involved was black, no police were involved.

No protests from BLM, no outrage from Democrat Politicians, and no wall to wall media coverage.

Total silence.

[Cybrarian First @cybrarianfirst]

This is just so lovely and remarkable. Should we host the World Cup more often? 😁

[Anna 🇺🇸 @realAnn_29]

Ha! World Cup visitors are still losing it over everyday America here is another round of things that have them wide eyed and posting nonstop:

Self serve ice machines in every gas station and fast food spot. Europeans are filming themselves filling cups the size of their heads while saying this is witchcraft. One guy from Spain called it the most American invention ever.

Texas Roadhouse with the endless fresh bread and cinnamon butter. Visitors are clearing out multiple baskets before the entree even arrives. They just keep bringing more? For free? I am never leaving.

Pharmacies inside grocery stores. Walk in for milk walk out with prescriptions shampoo and a birthday card. A French fan said it felt like one building solved my entire to do list.

Massive parking lots everywhere. Stadiums malls even restaurants have seas of asphalt. People from dense cities are shocked you can actually park for free without circling for an hour.

All you can eat buffets and bottomless brunch. One Korean visitor posted from Golden Corral: I ate for three hours and they smiled at me. This country runs on abundance.

Recliner seats in movie theaters with huge screens and buttery popcorn the size of buckets. Visitors are comparing it to flying first class on the ground.

Sweet tea so sugary it makes your teeth hurt in gallons. Southern hosts keep refilling it and fans are politely pretending they can handle it while secretly vibrating.

Drive thru car washes that are basically theme park rides. Lights soap shows and your car comes out sparkling in 5 minutes. A Brazilian said even my car feels American now.

Amazon deliveries the same day or next morning. Packages just appear. One German posted a timelapse: Ordered at midnight here at 9 a.m. What is this sorcery?

Roadside attractions and random giant statues. The Worlds Largest Ball of Twine giant roadside dinosaurs or a 50 foot cowboy boot. Visitors are detouring for selfies like it is the Eiffel Tower.

Tailgating culture before games. Grills games music and strangers sharing food in parking lots. International fans are getting adopted by locals with brisket and beer.

And the random how yall doing today? small talk from cashiers Uber drivers and hotel staff. Many say they expected cold or rude instead they are getting genuine warmth and hope you enjoy the match!

At the end of the day we Americans do not always realize how much these little things stand out. We grew up with the scale the convenience and the casual friendliness so it feels normal to us. Seeing the world light up over it reminds us how lucky we are and makes us even prouder to share it with all of you.

Keep sharing your reactions visitors. This is the good stuff. 🫶🇺🇸

[Cybrarian First @cybrarianfirst]

America IS pretty amazing. I am glad others are finally finding out.

[Selene Mariposa @Selene_Mariposa]

The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.

And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way.

Here is what they are discovering:

Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s.

Then they found the grocery stores.

Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.

The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.

They finally understand why we do not have trains.

We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.

Why would we need trains.

The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas.

Welcome to America.
Everything is free, enormous, air conditioned, comes with chips, and has five grocery stores within a mile that will sell you any cut of any animal you have ever imagined.

Write that down. 🦋

[Cybrarian First @cybrarianfirst]

I'm wondering why machines think we are not "authentic" enough? All the bots are forcing us to "prove we are human". Isn't that ironic?

[KAT @reallKAT]

Noah’s Ark is real.

The Garden of Eden is real.

Heaven is real.

The empty tomb is real.

The Bible is real.

[Greg Laurie @greglaurie]

Billy Graham preached the Gospel to more people than anyone in history.

Standing near the end of his life, his only regret?

"I wish I had done MORE."

No one retires from following Jesus. Make every day count.
#BillyGraham #DontWasteYourLife #Faith

[🌷 LIZZIE🌷 @farmingandJesus]

Remember when Colin kaepernick expressed his stupid beliefs and the NFL didn’t “issue a warning” to him?

The only ones in professional sports who cannot express their OPPOSING beliefs openly are Christians.

[Cybrarian First @cybrarianfirst]

Sounds like the truth to me.

[Sassafrass84 @Sassafrass_84]

The strongest weapon in the United States is a patriotic American.
