Stephen Miller: “Torture is a celebration of human life and dignity.”
Leaked video shows the current White House Chief of Staff at 17, describing the torture of Iraqis in gruesome detail as the group erupts in laughter.
Nothing on earth would own the libs more than if Trump convinced Japan to build a high speed rail network here (Congress can sweeten deal w/ a border fence-style waiver of any federal or state law in the way). Every time libs rode a high speed Trump Train they’d seethe w/ rage.
The Arcane Texas Fact of the Day:
The first German to settle in Texas was Johann Friedrich Ernst, a former soldier and postal clerk in Oldenburg, Germany, who obtained a land grant to immigrate to Austin's colony in 1831. He left Oldenburg in September, 1829 after apparently embezzling funds from the post office there. But Texas was a chance for him to start anew, with no past. A letter from Ernst to a friend in Germany described his wonderful new life in Texas and influenced other Germans to immigrate. With his kindness and encouragement to the newly arrived from his old country, he became known as the "father of the immigrants."
Sidenote: The Handbook of Texas Online notes that the diversity of German cultures in the state was striking:
"Even in the confined area of the Hill Country, each valley offered a different kind of German. The Llano valley had stern, teetotaling German Methodists, who renounced dancing and fraternal organizations; the Pedernales valley had fun-loving, hardworking Lutherans and Catholics who enjoyed drinking and dancing; and the Guadalupe valley had atheist Germans descended from intellectual political refugees. The scattered German ethnic islands were also diverse."
