Born in America. Grew up and educated on the premise that hard work, fairness, faith, friendship, family, the constitution and the rule of law are what we stand for. I won’t stand for anything less. Will you?

What do you think made America great?

I’ve traveled the world, and every time I come home, I’m reminded of what makes this place special: the culture, the mix of people, the constant diversity. I love this country.

And I also know who truly hates America:

• The KKK
• 3 Percenters
• Proud Boys

We’re way past the “worse we’ve ever seen” stage and if I hear one more journalist say “unprecedented” that’ll be the icing on the bad cake.

Christopher Moynihan — a Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump — was arrested for allegedly texting, “I cannot allow this terrorist to live… I will kill him,” about House Leader Hakeem Jeffries. A chilling, unmistakable sign of escalating violence from the right.

He hates US allies and coddles dictators.
Coddles hateful speech mongers and accuses others of the antisemitism while he himself engages in.

To think I thought they were better than this. More like ABC than CBS.
How could I have been so wrong?
They’ve learned absolutely nothing.
Lessons of appeasement as old as time itself.
Disappointing.
We will again vote with our pocketbooks.

Cornering the USA airwaves is the grand coup scheme.

This is a more accurate headline than the original. It didn’t happen, but at least there’s attributes this time.

Let’s turn the next one into a massive voter and get out the vote drive ahead of the primary and general election.

It’ll partially offset an irresponsible billionaire writing checks and buying up votes.
With great wealth comes great responsibility!

No wannabe kings needed.

Public servants only!

As this guest head of state, you’d certainly expect better. All decent people would. It’s how he’s treated when visiting EU countries and in previous normal administrations.
This isn’t normal or acceptable.

This is an insulting slap in the face to US beef industry and our collective intelligence? He slaps tariffs on any number of less expensive foreign products and says, “buy American” forcing us to pay tariffs and raising the price of everyday goods.
Why does Argentina get special treatment?

"Professing love for Hitler is more than anti-Semitic—it’s antihuman. It’s a proud refusal to be bound by the most basic standard of goodness, a deliberate expression of contempt for everything decent.
