What a fucking photo.
Hung Caoโs family fled the Vietnamese communists as refugees.
He returns to meet with the Vietnamese communists as emissary of the most powerful empire in world history, acting Secretary of the United States Navy.
Itโs like a biblical story. Josephโs brothers sell him into slavery and he returns to them as the powerful representative of the Pharaoh
Amazing
๐จ JUST IN: President Trump personally supports retired US Marine James Capers Jr., 88, and awards him the MEDAL OF HONOR
Incredible moment โค๏ธ๐บ๐ธ
UPDATE: At least 4 San Francisco Giants players protested Pride Night on Friday vs Chicago
1. Starting pitcher Landen Roupp wrote Genesis 9:12-16 on his Pride hat
2. Reliever Sam Hentges refused to wear the Pride hat (just like Blake Treinen)
3. Reliever JT Brubaker wrote Genesis 9:13-15 on his Pride hat
4. Reliever Ryan Walker wrote a message on the side of his Pride hat was unreadable on the broadcast
*I couldn't tell on the broadcast if outspoken Christian Robbie Ray protested as well
Well done, gentlemen. You've set a great example for other Christian athletes ๐
Europeans keep asking what American culture looks like.
Brother, we have a restaurant so reliable that the federal government unofficially uses it to judge hurricane damage.
It's called the Waffle House Index.
If the Waffle House is open and serving a full menu, everything is probably fine.
If they're on a limited menu, things got rough.
If the Waffle House is closed, FEMA starts paying attention.
Think about how absurd that is.
An entire nation's disaster response can be summarized as:
"Yeah, but is the Waffle House open?"
And despite the jokes, it's one of the greatest American institutions ever created.
24 hours a day.
365 days a year.
Friendly waitresses who call you "baby."
Hot coffee that somehow tastes better at 6 a.m. after a road trip.
Bacon, eggs, hash browns, waffles, and burgers cooked right in front of you. I recommend the hashbrowns smothered and covered
No reservations.
No dress code.
No pretension.
Just good food, good people, and a front-row seat to the greatest collection of characters you'll ever meet.
Sure, there's a non-zero chance you'll witness a fight.
But there's also a decent chance you'll sit next to a truck driver, a nurse getting off a night shift, a family on vacation, and a local farmer all having breakfast together.
That's America.
When a hurricane hits, Waffle House is often the first businesses to reopen.
When your flight gets delayed.
When your team loses.
When you're driving across the country.
When it's 2 a.m. and you need food and life advice from a waitress named Amanda.
Waffle House is there.
Buc-ee's is America's cathedral.
Waffle House is America's church.
One more post on the subject of the Irish getting their dander up.
The Irish Troubles (a continuous low level insurgency) lasted from the 1960s to 1998. But they were the continuation of 'Troubles' stretching back to the 1800s.
1998, that's a bit over 25 years ago.
Both sides in the Troubles, the Catholics and the Protestants, are one generation away from a civil war that lasted for TWO GENERATIONS.
The Gen Z men of today were raised on the stories of the heroism and patriotism of their fathers and grandfathers and THEY HAVE HAD NO SIMILAR OUTLET.
The IRA did not invent the vehicle borne IED. The Vietnamese used it before them.
They just invented a cocktail from their name as well as a drinking song.
'Former' IRA weapons dealers are still some of the top illegal weapons dealers in the world.
1/10th of 'British' SAS come from Ulster. A significant fraction of the British infantry as well.
Many of them served in GWOT so they have a recent master's class in insurgency.
And now Keir Bloody Starmer and the Irish Government have given BOTH SIDES a reason to start again, but this time UNITED.
We may be about to get a glimpse of what a civil war in the US looks like up against a massive surveillance state.
Take notes.
The Germans are revering Taco Bell.
The Swedes are dumbfounded by ranch.
The English have discovered the sun.
Just wait until the Europeans look up and see this ahead of Tunisia-Uzbekistan.
All of America watching Euros rave about Waffle House, Chilis apps, buying Combos at a rural gas station, floating the Chattahoochee, and ranch dressing on the internet:
Everyone said it was daft for me to build a giant battle station. But I built it all the same, just to show em.
They blew it up.
So i built a second one.
And they blew it up.
So i built a 3rd one, this time made out of an entire planet.
That one... they also blew up.
So for the fourth one... i built 1000 battle stations. They also blew them up.
Iranian hairstylist Ami Moghadam received death threats for posting videos of women receiving haircuts on Instagram.
So she decided to troll the Islamic Regime and their oppressive mandatory hijab laws in the most epic, hilarious way possible. ๐
A crab watched his wife get grabbed by a fisherman and said: not today. Walked out of his hiding spot, wrapped his claws around her, and just... held on.
The fisherman let them both go and gave him a fish.
Bro got the girl AND a free meal.
During the 2022 Buffalo blizzard, Jay Withey went door to door asking for shelter. Ten times, he was turned away.
So he broke a window at Pine Hill School and led 24 stranded strangers inside, including seven elderly people whose cars had run out of fuel.
He found cereal in the cafeteria, gym mats for makeshift beds, and gave everyone a way to survive the night.
Before he left, he wrote a note: โIโm terribly sorry about the window. I had to save everyone. Merry Christmas, Jay.โ Police later asked the public to help find him. Not so they could arrest him. So they could thank him.
