@catturd2 Same team selling the same existential crisis narrative. Same script just fill in the buzz words de jour. Next will come a demand for taxes, fees, and wealth transfers to "protect" everyone.

@Coach_Forsyth I don't know why I never thought of that. That's a great idea. Thanks for posting.

Tall ships and naval vessels from 55 nations sailed into New York Harbor on July 4 as the US marked the 250th anniversary of its independence, with crowds lining the waterfronts to watch the fleet pass the Statue of Liberty https://t.co/7nysjsAsAr

THANKFUL

Today and every day, I’m thankful to call this incredible nation home — and for the men and women in uniform who make our freedom possible.

Thanksgiving isn’t just about gratitude for our country... it’s a reminder that no matter our differences, we’re all more alike than we are different.

Be thankful for each other. For the air in your lungs. For where you’re at right now. The more thankful we are, the better life gets.

As we sit around the table today, let’s not forget the families with an empty seat — and the warriors around the world standing the watch so we can sit together in peace.

Happy Thanksgiving. 🇺🇸

🎬 HQMC just dropped this video of the Chaplain of the Marine Corps, Rear Admiral “Stacking Bodies 😉” Cash — preaching on the mighty weapons that bring life and healing. 🙏🏼

Faith. Hope. Love. 🦅🌎⚓️

We can all use a little more faith, hope, and love these days. Semper Fi!

@ThatPhilosopat Congratulations and good luck!

My #tuesdayvibe says the Marine Corps sings real cadence, all others are looking for an album.

@SgtHacker81 You should visit. The museum is kept very clean but still has numerous immersion/wrap around exhibits. Many are visibly stunning. Older, retired Marines volunteer there and they are subject matter experts on the exhibits and love to engage and talk about them.

@coffee_anytime The 100% right. Stick with Constitution.

@segalmr This doesn’t seem like a violation of the 10th amendment though. Amendment 10 says certain powers are reserved to the state but doesn’t give or imply a legal right to federal funds if the state deviates from federal laws.

@catturd2 He has broken their OODA loop. It’s amazing to watch.

@DorLinder And all the fresh new flags.

[Mark Butkovich @spentmash]

@MilitaryCooI I’m also saying it - looks like the beef stew.

[Mark Butkovich @spentmash]

And to all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year..

@TheLtColUSMC Wow, that looks amazing!
