So long as America has people, & so long as those people still believe in the American idea, we'll be fine. We can handle the rest.

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

This vision of America is at odds with reality. The U.S. is the land of opportunity. It's why millions of people are clawing to get in. We don't have a fixed pie, and we have civil liberties that make us exceptional. You can want to improve things while still celebrating that.

[Rich Lowry @RichLowry]

It so gives the game away that Tucker says he’s all about Christian ethics, universalism, and opposition to collective punishment when he talks about the Jewish state, but when it comes to a brutal, unprovoked Russian war against Ukraine that has involved routine war crimes, he’s a cold-eyed national interest guy—put aside that this disastrous war has clearly not been in the interests of the Russian people, who are being manipulated and exploited by a selfish and cynical dictator

“Now, are we a people or are we an idea? We’re both. That’s the honest answer. We are a people with a story, a language, a history — and we are a creed that anyone can join. That’s the miracle of it. A Taiwanese boy eats his first cheeseburger and decides he’s moving to the country that invented it, and twenty-five years later, he’s a citizen, married to an American, and an ordained minister standing before his church thanking God for 250 years of this nation. He loves this country more than the tenured cynics who were born here and can’t stand it. I’ll take a thousand of him. When you bind yourself to the ideal, you become one of the people. No other country on earth has ever really offered that. To this day, none does.”

This is undoubtedly the greatest country in the history of the world.

That doesn’t mean we are perfect, but the ideals laid out at our founding are worth defending and preserving for future generations.

Forever grateful to be an American.

Happy birthday, America!

“And what about our sins? Slavery was the original sin, and I won’t sand it down. The founders knew it. Jefferson knew it, and he owned slaves — the hypocrisy was staring right at them, and they kept kicking the can down the road. But here is what a poisoned telling of our history leaves out: the New England colonies began rejecting slavery before England itself did. And when the reckoning finally came, hundreds of thousands of men died on battlefields to make other men free. “As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,” read the original lyrics of the Battle Hymn of the Republic. That’s propitiation. One man suffers so others go free. A nation that will bleed that much to right its own wrong is not an evil nation. It is a great one, straining toward becoming a more perfect one. We had a black president. We had a black vice president. Our Secretary of State is the son of Cuban refugees. Anyone telling you the story that nothing here ever gets better is selling you something.”

America is a place, merged with an idea. Americans are those here who agree to this idea. The idea is that anything is possible and that you can live your life the way you want, so long as that way does not impinge on others’ ability to live the way they want.
As the current custodians of America, we will keep this idea sacred, so that it is healthy and alive for those who come after us. Just like those of the past 250 years did for us. Happy 4th of July.

[Eli Lake @EliLake]

Happy Independence Day. We remain a safe haven for genius fleeing tyranny. We remain a work in progress, as we perfect our union. And we remain a country where our rights come from God, not the government. And our declaration remains as true it was 250 years ago.

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

🚨#BREAKING: A German soccer fan who flew to the USA but was fearful about coming because of news about criminals and people being mean...

...breaks down into TEARS, live on air saying he has FALLEN IN LOVE with America after a random man named "Bob" in Boston gave him a ride home after he was stuck at a game with no way back to his hotel

The German soccer fan's name is Sebastian, he said after meeting Bob, he extended his entire trip.

He said leaving America will hurt worse than watching Germany get knocked out of the World Cup.

"I fall in love with America. I'm sorry, it's just so emotional. Americans are not rude... if we are together, we can achieve great things."

THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[Peter Schweizer @peterschweizer]

There have been 4 major revolutions in the past 250 years: American, French, Russian, and Chinese. Only one led to individual rights and prosperity. The others led to mass death and tyranny. The US revolution was unique because it said two things: 1. Our rights come from God not from the govt. 2. Humans are power -hungry so we need to limit govt power. So the next time someone attacks the nation of one revolution that succeeded and recycles the the idea of those that miserably failed, you can ask them: are you ignorant, or malicious?

@MikeNiccoWX Are these storms going to reach KC? Driving through them now

@samhuppert I was watching it the other night and had the same thought haha

[J.B. Davis @JBDavis2]

@WalkingHymnal Some of the excerpts I read from his speech made it seem like he was specifically addressing this.

[Farhan Lalji @FarhanLaljiTSN]

For those that are wondering if the @CFL is a potential landing spot for QB Brendan Sorsby. The answer is no:
“Upholding the integrity of the league and ensuring fair competition are paramount to the CFL. The allegations involving Brendan Sorsby are serious and concerning. At this time, the CFL will not register a contract for him, and no team will be permitted to add him to its negotiation list.”

[Jeremiah Johnson 🌐 @JeremiahDJohns]

One of the things I mourn the most in the current political era is that we've lost an important idea - that people who run for office should, at the very least, be competent people and good people. Not crazy. No major scandals, no outright evil views.

Nobody cares any more.

[T. Becket Adams @BecketAdams]

Boy, was I wrong.

CNN's reporting was accurate, and I was very, very wrong. This iteration of the Trump presidency is exactly as inept as advertised.

White House contradictions about secret side deals with Iran: Vance now says deal includes written "gentleman's agreements" outside of formal MOU.
-But on June 15, senior US official said no side deals: "The MOU will be released publicly. You know, one of our principles here is we want to have full transparency on this, and there'll be no side deals, so everything we do will be transparent... If it's something that we're not willing to put out publicly, we're not going to do it"

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

The next time you hear JD Vance casually accuse his critics of unpatriotically spreading misinformation, remember that he described the *accurate* descriptions of the MOU as Iranian propaganda. He says what he needs to say in the moment without regard for the truth — or decency.

[Spencer Hakimian @SpencerHakimian]

“You paid Iran $300 billion dollars to re-open a Strait that was open the entire time?”

“That’s right, Dave.”

“And this was after you defeated them 50 times?”

“That’s correct, Dave.”
