A minor league baseball team refused wear Pride Night uniforms and forfeited their game instead.
There is a massive shift occurring.
LGBT is losing ground.
Do you agree?
I pull up to this house with a $40 order, knock on the door, and this lady answers. She takes the bags, hands me a single $20 bill, and says real casual, “Here you go.”
I look at the money and tell her, “Ma’am, the order is $40. You only gave me twenty.”
She waves her hand like it’s nothing and goes, “Oh you must’ve dropped the other twenty on the way here. I already paid you the full amount.”
I’m standing there holding the one bill like, “No ma’am, you didn’t. You only handed me this one.”
She stares at me for a second then asks, “Well what would you do if you only got $20?”
I didn’t even hesitate. “I guess you’d only be getting half your food back then.”
Her face changes instantly. She gets loud and says, “That’s it. I’m calling your manager right now and telling them you stole my twenty dollars!”
I just looked at her and replied, “Go ahead. Call him. It’s my dad. I’ll wait right here while you do.”
The silence after that was loud. She stood there scowling at me, turning red. After a few awkward seconds she reaches into her pocket, pulls out the other twenty, and shoves it at me without saying a word.
I took the money, handed her the full order, and said, “Don’t call back for delivery again.”
She slammed the door so hard the frame shook.
@FreddyLA7 The "Red States" love America regardless of who the President is. The "Blue States" love the 🇺🇸 only when their candidate is in power. You need to understand that you have been traveling in Red States. Your experience would be drastically changed if you traveled to others.
@Rothmus If someone does not have a desire to be identified as an American then they should self deport to which ever nation that they wish to be a part of. No matter the philosophy that they identify with in the USA. Just go where it makes you the most happy. Life is too short to be mad.
Has been declining steadily for years.
It rises when a Democrat holds the White House, but even at its recent peak of 62% during the Biden years, the number was modest. And the share saying they were “extremely proud” was significantly lower.
So overall, these figures remain far below where they stood at the turn of the century.
Two structural shifts:
1) The Democratic coalition now includes a much larger share of recent immigrants and their families. Many have weaker (if any) allegiance to the country
2) Socialist factions within the party, hostile to America’s core principles and to Western civilization, are growing in influence
This combination of low-attachment demographics (immigration) and anti-American leftist ideology will continue eroding the Democratic Party’s sense of national pride.
@ethanhatesmma I'm sorry what? What do you call him? Yes, Champion. What exactly are you? Yes that's right, not the champion. What did you just say? You said you have never been a champion? Then it sounds like you need to shut the fuck up since you are an armchair quarterback.
@DrSuneelDhand Why is your location in the USA instead of your beloved Europe? Seriously. Love it or leave it. No American needs U 2 live in America. You are nothing special. Go trade you speciality in your preferred European nation. Oh wait, you can't make a living in those socialist places.
I love America, but I hate to burst your bubble: if you are on Twitter, and you are getting posts about how Europeans visiting for the World Cup are completely in awe of American food and grocery stores— I have to be honest with you and tell you you are being fed complete nonsense by the algorithm.
I’ve traveled to almost every European country, and there isn’t a single one which doesn’t have better grocery stores and higher-quality restaurant food than the USA.
Just being honest, as a doctor should
@Zblackerby Haters are going to hate. There is no way to convince folks otherwise. What matters is the product on the field. Perform on the new stage that you have given and prove the haters wrong.
@OctagonPulse Honestly the entire night were 1 great fight after another. The final fight was epic. A fight to be remembered by all sides involved. It's going to be decades before this event is overcome.
@JzSportsRadio I thought Topuria would win in 2. Amazing fight. Great way to end event. Both should be proud. From my understanding Topuria did not stop the fight, his team did. They, best of all, could see the damage he had absorbed. He went another round when the DOC tried to call the fight.
I think I just saw the biggest upset I’ve maybe ever seen in Sports
Non UFC fans won’t understand how big of a lock Ilia Topuria was
And Justin Gaethje wins the Lightweight Championship at UFC FREEDOM 250
Who in the corner stopped it for Ilia? It was 2-2 heading into the 5th
@Home_of_Fight he got hit by the same combos… a left jab and overhand right. for someone so well versed in striking and boxing you’d think he would know better
@Home_of_Fight I've watched 50+ years of fights across all genres of fighting. This fight was 1 of the greatest fights that I have ever watched. This event could not have orchestrated a better fight to end on. Kudos to everyone associated with it. And God bless the 🇺🇸.
@RobSchneider By pretty much all quantifiable methods your statement is accurate. I loved the time that I spent overseas in Asia. Safe, clean, respectful to everyone. If only the 🇺🇸 could combine the best of Japan with the best of the 🇺🇸. Would maybe be again the Garden of Eden on earth.
@RedWavePress That's funny. I'm 62 and my wife is 61. We both watched it. Honestly speaking it was one of the greatest sports events that we have watched during our 40 years of marriage. So much patriotism. So much better than a pride flag and trans on the WH lawns. God bless the 🇺🇸 once again
NAILED IT: Brad Todd: “UFC’s audience is 68% male, and most of it’s under age 54. It just so happens that men under age 54 or under age 50 are a key target demographic for Republicans in this election. Trump won men by a dozen or so against Kamala Harris, but he only won young men by about 1 [point]. They tend to vote infrequently in midterm elections. So Democrats can mock this all they want, but the UFC’s audience is the audience the president needs to reach for Republicans.”
@thomas_garrard I live in the Texas Panhandle and I can drive south for 12 hours and still be in Texas. I know it’s not a competition, but just sayin….our state is big!
We joke about winning the life lottery, because we were born in the USA, but it’s not far from the truth.
These visitors here for the World Cup are getting to experience what we often take for granted.
I live in Alabama. I can start in Mobile and drive north for 5 hours, and still be in Alabama.
My state has beautiful sandy beaches, and also has the foothills of the Appalachians. In between, we have a super speedway that pushes the limits of American muscle. Talladega.
NASA is here. The Army’s rotary wing flight school is here.
We have a festival every year to celebrate peanuts. We celebrate the harvest of a crop with funnel cakes and music.
2 teams from my state are currently in the College World Series, and that isn’t even our most popular sport.
Don’t even get me started on football Saturdays in the fall. It’s something else entirely.
My state is just 1 of 50 states that are all equally wonderful.
This country is awesome, and I do love it so. 🇺🇸
@ScottJenningsKY If Iran violates terms of this agreement then 🇺🇸 needs 2 put boots on the ground & take Kharg Island once & 4 all. Never giving it back. Just like the 🇺🇸 has partnered with 🇻🇪 to export their oil 4 good of it's citizens, we do the same in Iran. Use the $ to arm their citizens.
I spoke to President TRUMP this morning. He expects to sign something with IRAN in next couple of hours, w/ all usual caveats that come with dealing with Iran. Optimistic about getting the Strait open today, hopefully. Looking forward to the UFC fight tonight; has some weather concerns but jazzed nonetheless.
