@nonestlex Goddard that’s French & German…

I don't recognise the language being spoken on my train anymore. Not a single conversation in English for 40 minutes. I look around and realise I'm the foreigner now. In my own country. On the train line I grew up on. And if I mention this, I'm the problem.

@MAGAVoice Says an administration ripping Christian families apart daily with the current illegal immigration policy- the hypocracy of this office of the presidency as his personal playground is an embarrasment

BREAKING 🚨 President Trump just put the world on notice saying America will not join G20 held in South Africa since they are k*lling Christians Save Christians at all costs 🙏

@RightPulseNewss Clint wouldn’t say that

🚨BREAKING: Clint Eastwood says: "One day we will realize that the Barack Obama presidency was the biggest FRAUD ever perpetrated on the American people." Do you agree with Clint Eastwood? YES or NO?

@GeneralMCNews Dang- no crazy break.

BREAKING: The White House has issued a travel and photo lid for the day, signaling that President Donald Trump is not expected to make any public appearances or be seen on camera today.

@FakePaulApostle @LeadingReport yea … I’m pretty sure the Apostle Paul would not approve of dealing with murderers for money- this is absolutely backwards to any Christian Faith-

BREAKING: President Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman have signed a deal bringing over $600 billion in investments to the U.S.

@LeadingReport 2/3 states, tough

BREAKING: President Trump is going to run for a 3rd term and President Trump is going to be elected again on the afternoon of January 20th of 2029, says Steve Bannon.

@MAGAVoice The single biggest challenge in Education is the substantial funding gap between schools in affluent neighborhoods and those in economically disadvantaged areas like South TX who depend on Fed aid to address these gaps- so bad for marginalized communities @RegionOneESC

I have tears in my eyes. Not only did Trump sign the Executive Order, the KIDS around him also signed their own Executive Orders. So historic ❤️ Abolish the Department of Education Such a huge win for Kids

@DemocraticWins ✊

BREAKING: Massive protests have erupted in front of the USAID building following Donald Trump’s and Elon Musk’s unlawful attempts to shut USAID down. The resistance to Trump and Musk’s incompetence is growing.

@VivekGRamaswamy math, math, math…. in the early years.

The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if we’re really serious about fixing the problem, we have to confront the TRUTH: Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn’t start in college, it starts YOUNG. A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers. A culture that venerates Cory from “Boy Meets World,” or Zach & Slater over Screech in “Saved by the Bell,” or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in “Family Matters,” will not produce the best engineers. (Fact: I know *multiple* sets of immigrant parents in the 90s who actively limited how much their kids could watch those TV shows precisely because they promoted mediocrity…and their kids went on to become wildly successful STEM graduates). More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of “Friends.” More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less “chillin.” More extracurriculars, less “hanging out at the mall.” Most normal American parents look skeptically at “those kinds of parents.” More normal American kids view such “those kinds of kids” with scorn. If you grow up aspiring to normalcy, normalcy is what you will achieve. Now close your eyes & visualize which families you knew in the 90s (or even now) who raise their kids according to one model versus the other. Be brutally honest. “Normalcy” doesn’t cut it in a hyper-competitive global market for technical talent. And if we pretend like it does, we’ll have our asses handed to us by China. This can be our Sputnik moment. We’ve awaken from slumber before & we can do it again. Trump’s election hopefully marks the beginning of a new golden era in America, but only if our culture fully wakes up. A culture that once again prioritizes achievement over normalcy; excellence over mediocrity; nerdiness over conformity; hard work over laziness. That’s the work we have cut out for us, rather than wallowing in victimhood & just wishing (or legislating) alternative hiring practices into existence. I’m confident we can do it. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

@donnellycss @DrETontheBorder @RepaVictoria I’m sorry , but there is no concrete evidence that this is true.
