@MissLondonLix If you don’t do it, you’ll have this nagging “what if?” rattling around in your brain when you get old, like me. Carpe Diem, I say.

@Lexibexiio Your math is a problem… you’re either 66 born in 1960, or, you are 54 born in 1973.

America burned Japan's first gift of cherry trees. All 2,000 of them, on President Taft's direct order.

The 1910 shipment arrived in DC crawling with insects and nematodes. Agriculture inspectors condemned the lot, Taft signed off on the bonfire, and the State Department braced for a diplomatic disaster. Tokyo's mayor, Yukio Ozaki, responded by sending 3,020 more, grafted from the famous grove along the Arakawa River.

Those trees have spent a century paying the friendship back.

Four days after Pearl Harbor, vandals chopped down four of them. Park officials renamed the survivors "Oriental" cherry trees for the rest of the war to protect them from axes.

Then came the twist. By 1952 the original Arakawa grove in Tokyo, the parent stock, had nearly died from wartime neglect. Japan asked Washington for help. The Park Service shipped budwood from DC's trees back across the Pacific and restored the grove that created them. When a flood wiped out more Japanese trees in 1982, horticulturists took 800 fresh cuttings from the Tidal Basin.

These 250 new trees solve a real problem too. The Tidal Basin is sinking, and a $133 million seawall rebuild forced crews to rip out roughly 150 trees. Japan offered replacements before anyone asked, timed to America's 250th birthday.

So the genetics run in a loop. Tokyo's grove seeded Washington's. Washington's saved Tokyo's. The saplings going in this spring descend from both.

114 years of diplomacy, running on grafted branches.

Have you ever heard the Declaration of Independence read out loud?

You should. It’s the greatest break-up letter ever written.

At just 33 years old, Thomas Jefferson, with cold moral clarity, told the British government to pound sand:

“Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness], it is the Right of the People to alter or to ABOLISH it.”

The power of that line isn’t just what it says. It’s how it’s said.

Jefferson wasn’t writing from a place of outrage. He was transmitting conviction—moral clarity delivered from a steady frame of mind.

It’s said Jefferson revised the Declaration of Independence with the help of Franklin and Adams dozens of times before it was finalized.

And that deliberate, cutting language, paired with emotional steadiness, is precisely why the words still land 250 years later.

Today, we’re blessed to be the inheritors of the great nation those steady hands wrote into existence.

Happy Birthday, America. 🇺🇸

One of the best songs ever. The sound of the sax sends shivers down one’s spine 🎷

❤️Even Fleetwood Mac called this their best performance ever.
The band said they've never played better than this.
Not a single note was wrong. Fleetwood Mac is at the peak of their form.❤️

The Rape Gang Inquiry Report (Rupert Lowe’s independent, crowdfunded effort) just dropped. 219 pages of what authorities spent years pretending didn’t exist.

What happened?

Glad you asked! Predominantly Pakistani Muslim gangs systematically groomed, raped, tortured and trafficked vulnerable girls, overwhelmingly White British, across dozens of towns and cities for decades. Grooming started with gifts, alcohol and drugs. It escalated to gang rapes, beatings, waterboarding, trafficking and forced pregnancies. Estimates put the national scale at at least 250,000 victims.

The real scandal isn’t just the gangs. It’s the police, social services, councils and politicians who saw the pattern, heard the screams, and chose to do almost nothing because they were more terrified of being called “racist” than they were of letting children be passed around like meat.

They issued cautions instead of prosecutions. They buried evidence. They protected “community relations” while girls as young as 11-12 were being destroyed. Peak “safeguarding” in modern Britain.

Survivor testimonies are brutal. The institutional failure is worse.

Recommendations in the report include: tougher sentences, deportation of foreign national offenders, proper recording of ethnicity and religion in these cases, and putting families at the center instead of the usual bureaucratic shrug.

If this report makes you angry, good.
The cover-up was the bigger crime.
Justice, accountability and no more two-tier cowardice.

The full report is in the comments, so you can verify the truth of my words.

Every leader who allowed the widespread shattering of little girls should rot in prison for the rest of their lives. Keir Starmer and his Labour party are a disgrace!

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!
The greatest country on earth.

@mistressdivy It’s gone to people collecting from the system that never paid in. Do a little research on those dollars.

[newone2010 @newone20101]

@mistressdivy I would have when I was younger. Now that I’m older, I want to be here to enjoy the time I have with my family.
