@Sassafrass_84 🎯🎯🎯. Also what was the kid doing in a known shady area?? Jogging my ass. I believe it’s called looking to score or trolling. Cops knew what was up!
A major reason soccer will never supplant America’s core professional sports is because we value physical bravery above all other attributes in our sports stars.
Curt Schilling’s bloody sock.
Ronnie Lott chopping off the tip of his finger so he could stay in the game.
Mark Bavaro dragging half the 49ers’ secondary while his broken jaw was wired shut.
Michael Jordan having the best game of his life with a 103 degree fever.
Willis Reed limping onto the floor for Game 7.
Lou Gehrig playing with ALS until his body said “no more.”
Dave Dravecky pitching so hard that his arm had to be amputated.
Kirk Gibson hobbling to the plate in the 9th.
Tiger Woods winning the US Open on a knee that days later required reconstructive surgery.
Kerri Strug sticking the landing on her busted ankle for the gold.
Sure, we have our LeBron Jameses acting like little babies, but the one thing I learned about futbol during the World Cup is that acting like a little injured baby is not only not frowned upon, it is ENCOURAGED as a strategic advantage.
Americans want stoic heroes who persevere through pain. Soccer ain’t that, at least not in the day-to-day elements of the game.
That’s why soccer will never be anything other than second-rate in the USA.
Riots are what happens when the state decides some neighborhoods are expendable.
In 1992, after the Rodney King verdict, LA cops pulled back from Koreatown to protect Beverly Hills and West Hollywood instead.
So the Korean shop owners, a lot of them military vets, grabbed their rifles and defended their property from the rooftops themselves.
They still lost over 2,300 businesses, but they didn’t just hand everything over to the mob.
The people who romanticize riots as the sacred and righteous screams of the downtrodden don’t want you remembering this story, because it proves one thing they hate, that when the authorities won’t protect you, you have every right and every duty to protect what’s yours.
A shoemaker with no formal education became the only person in history to sign all four founding documents of the United States. And the structure of Congress you live under today? He's the reason it exists. Meet Roger Sherman, the most important Founder almost nobody talks about.
Sherman's start could not have been humbler. Born in 1721, he grew up working with his hands. He was a cordwainer, a shoemaker, cutting and stitching leather for a living. There's a story of him working at his cobbler's bench with a book propped open in front of him, reading while he worked. He had almost no schooling. What he had was his late father's books, a sharp mind, and a bottomless hunger to learn.
So he taught himself. Everything. He became a surveyor, then he taught himself law with no formal training at all and passed the bar in 1754. A self-made shoemaker turned lawyer.
Then he just kept showing up at every single hinge point of American history.
He was one of the Committee of Five, the small group chosen to draft the Declaration of Independence, sitting alongside Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. And here's the record no one else can claim. Roger Sherman is the only person who signed all four of the great state papers of the founding: the Continental Association, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution. Nobody else signed all four. Just him.
But his single biggest contribution came at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, and you feel it every day whether you know it or not. The convention was about to collapse. Big states wanted representation based on population. Small states wanted every state equal. Neither side would budge, and the whole country nearly died in the crib right there.
Sherman proposed the fix. What if you did both? One chamber, the House, based on population. Another chamber, the Senate, where every state gets equal say. That idea, the Great Compromise, broke the deadlock and saved the Constitution. The two houses of Congress exist in that exact form today because a self-taught shoemaker talked everyone off the ledge.
Thomas Jefferson pointed him out to a visitor and said he was "a man who never said a foolish thing in his life." John Adams called him one of the strongest pillars of the whole Revolution.
He served his country right up until he died in 1793.
A poor shoemaker who read at his workbench, taught himself law, signed everything that mattered, and quietly designed the shape of American government itself.
Roger Sherman. The quiet genius who built the machine we still run on.
American education now costs $250,000 for K–12, followed by $150,000 for college.
That’s $400,000 to produce an adult who can’t read but knows Communism will work this time.
It doesn’t matter how “crazy” a Democrat is or how wonderful, sane, and smart the Republican is.
With the mass importation of foreigners, the Democrat will win.
With mass deportation, he loses.
Demographics are everything.
Isn’t it weird how unsubsidized consumer goods like TVs, appliances, clothes, all get cheaper and cheaper…while anything government puts its hands on, healthcare, housing, food, tuition, cars, utilities…just gets more and more unaffordable?
Oh well. Probably nothing.
Approximately 85 percent of the worlds refugees are Muslim. Yet they bypass all 50 plus Muslim majority countries and head straight for non Muslim Western nations.
Why is that?
They are not fleeing persecution in every direction. They are seeking the welfare systems, freedoms, and prosperity built by the very cultures they refuse to assimilate into.
Open borders are not compassion. They are civilizational suicide.
Europe is already learning this the hard way with no go zones, parallel societies, and skyrocketing crime and if we don’t stop the Democrats, there’s a 100% chance it’s going to happen here.
If you DOUBLED the Social Security check of every
US Senior Citizen It would still be less than our Gov was paying each month to illegal aliens who never paid a dime into the system and didn't qualify.
If our Gov could afford to pay illegal aliens, they certainly can afford to pay Seniors who EARNED IT!
