USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

A tale of 2 nurses.

Laken Riley was a 22 year old nursing student who was brutally murdered by an illegal alien during a kidnapping and attempted rape.

Alex Pretti was a 37 year nurse who was shot and killed by law enforcement while he resisted arrest with a firearm.

Laken was out for a jog when she was ambushed.

Pretti was out in the streets harassing and fighting with ICE agents who are trying to detain and deport illegal aliens.

There had not been a donation in a couple months.

You guys raised over $47,000 in one night.

We’re gonna look back a few years from now & realize Carlie Irsay-Gordon set the standard for NFL ownership with the way she runs the Indianapolis Colts

The team is 7-1, the pickup of Daniel Jones & Cam Bynum were phenomenal & the team couldn’t be closer in chemistry
