Outis 🇺🇸 ⚓ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇮🇱 ⚑‍‍☆.

The following is something my lovely wife of 45 years asked me to post and I wholeheartedly support. ============= An open letter to Elon Musk.@elonmusk Dear Mr Harriman. I know you understand the reference I just made. I was 10 or 11 when I first read The Man Who Sold the Moon, and it's companion short Requiem, by Robert A Heinlein, or as I like to think of him Admiral Dad. I will never travel to Mars, I am too old. I will never be able contribute to Space X beyond buying merch. But, I am going to ask you to please build a Requiem memorial on Mars. I'm sure there are millions of people like me, who gazed up at the stars and dared to dream and envision a future everyone told them was impossible. I know you are one of those stargazers. Ashes of the dreamers could be placed at the memorial, just something the size of a tylenol capsule. For all those who never got a chance to make the trip. Thank you for opening a door to the stars. Requiem by Robert Lewis Stevenson Under the wide and starry sky, Dig the grave and let me lie. Glad did I live and gladly die, And I laid me down with a will. This be the verse you grave for me: Here he lies where he longed to be; Home is the sailor, home from sea, And the hunter home from the hill. Wife of Outis

A lot can change before November.

America was settled by Europeans, so Europe felt they were superior to those crazy idiots they got rid of. But we did so well, they could not free themselves from their stupidity, Twice in one century, without our help. Japan and the US had no common bond and no similar reason to look down on each other. We were both alien to each other, but got to know how tough and resilient the other was in combat.

Germany and Japan were adversaries of the USA in World War II and were both defeated. 1948: America and Britain saved Berlin from Stalin's blockade by providing supplies via an airlift for 400 days. Today, Germans are critical to hostile toward America. 2011: The USA provided aid to Japan after the tsunami. Japan is now a close ally of the USA. Two similar stories, two different outcomes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Bl…

@m_rosenbloom28 The 200th episode was a bit better in my opinion.

Wormhole X-Treme! proved that SG-1 could laugh at itself better than anyone else. A hilarious, clever 100th episode filled with inside jokes, unforgettable quotes, and the brilliant idea of using a TV show as cover for the real Stargate Program. #SaveStargate #Stargate

@yukikazedd8 The US nuked Japan TWICE and they still did not want to quit. Thanks to their Emperor for stepping in, and even then, he was subject to a coup attempt to prevent the surrender. So yeah, lets not do that again.

アメリカ相手に4年もガチ・バトルをした挙句、原爆２回も使って勝ったはずのアメリカが「もうこんな国と二度と戦争なんてしたくない」って思わせる国が日本以外には無いんですよね。 他所の国の方々はそれを知らない。

@LTYokota Agreed, and apologies. Some of our folks get a bit stupid at times.

🇯🇵🙄 This is just cringe. Japan's sovereignty belongs to the Japanese.

@CynicalPublius @RoKhanna @ZohranKMamdani Because he expects to be part of the nomenclature who will rule over the rest of us. This is a rich nepo baby, he does not think the revolution will ever come for him

@RoKhanna @ZohranKMamdani Why do you support Communism? Communism has inflicted more poverty and murdered more innocent human beings than all other ideologies in human history combined. Why would you support such things?

Thanks for sharing my praise for @ZohranKMamdani speech. Please keep hitting me this way. It only helps!

@ApexSeeker_ Embrace the power of "And"

🇯🇵 I’m Japanese. Question for Americans. Be honest… Does Kendo look… ⚔️ Awesome 😨 Terrifying

@RandyRRQuaid Please, have you seen this and what are your thoughts? x.com/PJaccetturo/st…

We made the film INDEPENDENCE DAY patriotic by divine intervention because the producer is a woke Hillary Clinton fund raiser who is not patriotic at all! He thought he was making fun of America’s spirit. Boy does he regret casting me. 🤣🤣🤣 Up yourrrrs, Roland!

The moral principle behind Capitalism is very simple. "You own you." I want what you have, or made, I got to persuade you to part with it. I have to offer you something of greater value, to you, than the thing you possess. The use of force, or fraud, is antithetical to Capitalism.

What are the greatest arguments for capitalism?

It does not exist because we were successful in helping Europe. They could not do it themselves and it sticks in their craw that they needed help from those they see as an inferior people. We screw up their sense of superiority. After WW2, we could have seized all of Japan and turned it into a protectorate like the Philippines was. But we didn't. Let them keep their Emperor, kept the Russians out, gave them a new Constitution built more or less on American ideal, but respecting Japan's culture and traditions, and rebuilt their war ravaged industries. And when they needed help, like in 2011, we were there. Our nation came from European settlers, and the Europeans looked down on us for that. Maybe it is for leaving Europe in the first place, who knows. Japan fought a war with us, and we kicked their ass, although it was one hell of a tough slog. So the Japanese respect us, in a way Europe never will. And we respect the Japanese for their spirit, their tenacity, and their ability to build back better than where they started. In each other, we find no worse foe, nor better friend. Which is why we are Tomodachi.

There are so many people who hate the fact Japan and America are the best of friends. It's sad, really, these people are mentally incapable of understanding the deep, Nietzschean bond shared between two entities who have engaged in mortal combat and come through to not only respect, but to love one another. One would have thought such an incredible bond would exist with our allies from WWII, with the UK, France, ect...but it does not. One would have thought China would have forged such a bond with us, after we fought to expel Japan from their country...but it does not. Out of all the countries in the world, only Japan has created such a momentous, incredible bond. No other nation comes close.

@StargateNow_EU It's a good show, believable characters, fantastic "what ifs" in the different worlds.

Stargate fans, someone's got a question for us. Let's give them a thousand reasons to start watching. 👇 #SaveStargate

@brockpierson There is money in posting????? 🤣 As if anyone would pay for one of my posts. 🤣🤣🤣

Do you post on 𝕏 for the fun of it or for money?

@iStarVixen Happy Birthday and congrats!!!

Officially 37. Got the best bday gift early of finding out my brain tumor is gone thanks to the meds they had me on for 9 months and Jon is moving here in 2 weeks ❤️❤️❤️🎂🥳

@sakebu_cheese_ I found Japanese Coca Cola is less sweet than American Coke, and like it better to be honest

アメリカのみんなこんにちは🌎🇺🇸 一部のアメリカのお菓子を食べると、日本のお菓子とは少し違う独特の風味を感じることがあります。 「海外のお菓子らしい味」というオリジナルな印象で、俺はそれが好き🍬 逆に、日本のお菓子はみんなからすると、口に合わないことの方が多そうだよね

@infantrydort @DataRepublican They are 🐓🐓🐓

@DataRepublican To the surprise of no one. They’re all the same.

I’m sick of these types of dog whistles casually hinting at killing the president. I called this demon out on this one. I don’t care if it’s a cartoon or not. He blocked me. Make him feel special by making him block you too.

@trav12037911 I swear less out loud than in my head. And argue with myself out loud than in my head. So yeah, which is probably smart in the long run.

Do you talk differently in your head than you do out loud?

@MeaghieC well, the great thing about America is you don't gotta be born here to be an American. You can go through the naturalization process, like millions of American have before you. Come on over, we got a great country here.

I was born in the wrong country. I wish I was American. My husband and all my children are either full blooded or half Americans. I loved living in the USA. I miss it. Maybe someday (thanks to the Jay Treaty) I will return. God Bless America.

@brockpierson No to both questions

Are you drinking alcohol today or are you a smart person?

@1True_American_ Apparently that Jews still have a special covenant with God is something a lot of Christians disagree with. 🤷

What’s one Christian opinion you have that most believers would disagree with?

@StevenGlinert Interesting question. I would guess the latter, two distinct but connected, via Locke and Smith, as opposed to Rousseau and Marx.

In 2,000 years, will the British and American global dominance be remembered by historians as two sequential phases of a singular Anglo-American empire, or more like Greece-to-Rome, a civilizational phase with two connected but distinct entities?
