This shit is downright un-American.
man. if Eric Schmitt's speech to NatCon isn't a sign of the times, i don't know what is
!["America is not a 'universal nation.' ... [American] principles are not abstractions. They are living, breathing things — rooted in a people and embodied in a way of life."
Senator Eric Schmitt got a standing ovation at Nat Con DC for saying America as a nation is the property of a distinct ethnic people.
Americans are a mix of “the most adventurous, the most courageous, the most curious and innovative” of the English, Scotch-Irish, and continental Europeans, who came as settlers and have spent hundreds of years building, fighting, and dying for "a homeland for themselves and their descendants."
"We’re a nation of settlers, explorers, and pioneers — born on the ocean waters that carried the first ships to our shores and forged in the crucible of a wild frontier. Our people tamed a continent, built a civilization from the wilderness, and wrote our nation’s name in history.
"Our ancestors were driven here by destiny, possessed by urgent and fiery conviction, by burning belief, devoted to their cause and their God."
"The Continental Army soldiers dying of frostbite at Valley Forge, Pilgrims struggling to survive in the hard winter soil of Plymouth, pioneers striking out from Missouri for the wild and dangerous frontier, [and] outnumbered Kentucky settlers, repelling wave after wave of Indian war band attacks from behind their stockade walls, would be astonished to hear that they were only fighting for a 'proposition.'
"They believed they were forging a nation — a homeland for themselves and their descendants."
"America, in all its glory, is their gift to us, handed down across the generations.
"It belongs to us. It’s our birthright, our heritage, our destiny.
"If America is everything and everyone, then it is nothing and no one at all."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreif3x7re3lubuj7kzurj3ayotcnq2l46kwb2p5hp2zid2dagzth5nu@jpeg)

In some fairness, they did fuck up a lot of shit. I agree the press and DC intelligentsia were mad about the loss of US prestige, but those of us in the humanitarian left/veteran camps were more upset by how they handled the Afghan evac piece. They spiked the ball after leaving 60k SIVs behind!
A reminder that Joe Biden destroyed his presidency by doing the thing everyone said for years that they wanted but really didn't.

Reminder that if Joe Biden hadn't acted the US would still have troops deployed in Afghanistan, taking casualties year after year after year.

We stan a stubborn old New Englander who refuses to budge from his spot. 🙌
Greene’s brigade occupied their 1.5 mile defensive position throughout the heavy fighting of July 2 and into the 3rd. At 62, Greene was not a young man, but had the energy, drive, and quick-thinking of one much younger. He seemed everywhere on the battlefield, handling the defense with great elan.

This is just called being a Truman democrat.
A strong, integrated military. Robust support for the Atlantic Alliance. Bloodless, flannel suit wearing killers in the IC.
Aggressive civil rights reforms and national health insurance at home, the Marshall Plan abroad.
And a 91% marginal tax rate.

Pro tip: Don’t try to plant your flag in the Shoe and think you’re going to walk away unscathed.
Mullings: “they gotta learn how to lose man, can’t be fighting because you lost a game.”
UM players planted an M flag on field. Fighting ensued and restarted a few times with brawls all over the field. Players were then rinsing their eyes of pepper spray from police on field.

If it wouldn’t be a death sentence for a handful of stranded astronauts, I would say cancel all of his government contracts. He’s clearly using his money to subvert our democracy.
An Elon Musk-funded PAC is microtargeting Muslim people in Michigan and Jewish people in Pennsylvania with opposite messaging about Kamala Harris using ZIP code targeting, according to data I pulled from Snapchat. Few things from this investigation:

I move that henceforth only Lutherans can run for president.
Tim and Gwen Walz pick up post-debate slices at Justino's in Midtown. Reporters shout questions, which they try to ignore.
REPORTER: Would you all be willing to talk a little bit more about your religion?
TIM WALZ, to GWEN: We're Lutherans. We don't talk about religion.
