So far this World Cup has been a great reminder that we make too many assumptions about one another, and that the vast majority of humanity is awesome.
It's been pretty damn refreshing, honestly.
“We found 146,000 kids so far. Some of these kids claimed that they were raped over 600 times. I don't care who you are. If you can't stand for law enforcement to go find these kids, who are you?” @SecMullinDHS
Zac Brown defends performing at Sunday's UFC fight at Trump's White House, saying: "This is patriotism, not politics for me."
"I’m there for the troops, man. I’m there to honor America. This is patriotism, not politics for me. I mean, f*ck all the division. I don’t believe in that. I love this country. I love all the people that have sacrificed so that I can live my American dream and that everyone that lives here gets a chance to do that if they work hard and make the right decisions. So it doesn’t have a place in politics for me.” (The Pat McAfee Show)

Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
A middle-aged @usairforce colonel went through a shoot down and a parachute drop, was severely injured, treated his own wounds, ran five miles in enemy territory, climbed a 7,000-foot mountain, radioed the proclamation, "God is good," and then holed up in a crevice in near-freezing temperatures for two days while his brothers and sisters came to rescue him. That's America; that's the American military; that's the United States Air Force.
We’re being told this country is broken beyond repair.
And then this happens.
An American Olympic gold medalist, bloodied and grinning, wrapped in the Stars and Stripes, after decades of waiting, sacrifice, and belief, reminding the world what it looks like when America rises again. 🇺🇸
Two kids on a quiet sidewalk, watching Artemis II tear through the sky, like history reaching forward and backward at once, reminding us we are still the nation that dares to go farther. 🚀
And an American Air Force colonel, shot down over enemy territory, alone in the mountains of Iran for 48 hours, hunted, wounded, waiting,
And America came for him anyway.
Through the dark.
Through the risk.
Through the fire.
Because we don’t leave our own.
Same year. Same country.
Not spin. Not noise.
This is real.
They can keep selling division.
They can keep feeding the noise.
But this?
This is different.
This is who we are when it matters.
Not perfect. Not polished.
But still capable of courage.
Still capable of wonder.
Still capable of loyalty.
The darkness is loud right now.
But the light?
The light doesn’t ask permission.
It just shows up.
GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸❤️
HAPPY EASTER 💜
🚨BREAKING — The USA baseball team just showed up to the championship game against Venezuela wearing the ACTUAL game-worn jerseys from the USA hockey team’s Olympic run.
LFG!!!
You can agree or disagree with the decisions made by this country’s leaders. That’s the beauty of America.
But if you don’t stand behind the men and women with the gumption to saddle up and go to the fight, then you don’t deserve the freedoms they provide.
