@Megultra@FreddyLA7 Fuck off! I looked at your Twitter page. For you to call Democrats Nazis you’re an idiot. Leave politics out of this. The only Nazis are Maga Nazis. Don’t politicize these people coming into our country and enjoying the United States for the first time.
@homage2TSmith Lexington BBQ has been around for a long time. I grew up in Burlington and I am partial to Eastern North Carolina barbecue but Lexington BBQ is a staple and a legend.
@JCoxPE@LupusBeowulf Actually, Coach Tom O’Brien wanted him to quit baseball and Russel didn’t want to quit. As a result of that conflict, Tom O’Brien wouldn’t promise him the starting job. Tom O’Brien did not tell him he was going to be a back up. You continue to be wrong stop posting.
@JCoxPE@LupusBeowulf I went to NC State when Valvano was there. Neither of the things you just posted are true. Valvano was forced to resign. You’re a hack.
King Charles III quietly did something genuinely moving during his state visit to the United States. A lifelong environmentalist who has championed conservation for over five decades often at the cost of ridicule from the British press the King ended his trip by visiting Shenandoah National Park in Virginia.
There, he sat with park rangers, swore in a new group of Junior Rangers, met Buddy the bald eagle, and unveiled a new partnership between Shenandoah and Scotland’s Cairngorms National Park. This is the same man who converted his own estate to organic farming back in 1986, long before it was fashionable.
A foreign monarch showing up with real curiosity and respect for America’s public lands felt refreshingly sincere. And yet, it barely made a headline.
That silence is telling. When a visiting head of state reminds us of the value of our own national parks more visibly than our own leadership, something has gone wrong.
For decades, King Charles has put his credibility on the line for the natural world.
Meanwhile, America’s public lands have faced aggressive rollbacks: the weakening of protections like the Roadless Rule, opening tens of millions of acres of national forests to logging and mining, and efforts to sell off large portions to private interests.
It’s a stark contrast. One man has spent a lifetime planting trees and defending nature.
The other treats the outdoors primarily as a backdrop for golf courses.
Our public lands deserve better than being viewed as a development opportunity. They belong to all of us and they’re worth protecting, not selling.
