I should have mentioned our people are YOU. We are a nation of immigrants. We are France. England. Germany. Russian. Japan. Iraqi. India. Mexico. Korea. We are the world. No other nation can claim that. THAT is what American exceptionalism is. It is our diversity. Too many have forgotten that. 🤘🏻

So in western Alaska, thousands of people are homeless due to flooding rains, one person is dead & two people are missing. But yet, the regime hasn't said a word, no thoughts or prayers, nothing.
Once again, they could care less about Americans, it's about enriching themselves through GREED.

Not remotely a mariners fan, but I hope they finally get in the world series. Reluctantly.

Colombian President Petro:
The United States wants Venezuela's and Guyana's oil, oil greed is what's behind the missiles over fishermen.

Every "war" we've started in the last 30+ years has been about oil/minerals. Facts.

The thing about these grindset lifestyle posts is that they're all fake. None of it is real.

Friendly reminder that Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir drops Tuesday and contains the truth she wanted the world to hear about those who abused her and the cost of silence.

Buy it. Read it. Give the woman some justice.
