I was going through airborne school at Fort Benning, Georgia in July 1980, staying in a barracks with no air conditioning and trying to sleep at night with no covers on just to stay cool enough. That led to getting 7 spider bites across both legs, which turned into cellulitis, and this made it really painful to execute the 5-point "parachute landing fall" (PLF) that the instructors taught us. Couldn't go to sick call for it because they would have dropped me from the course. I did get my 5 jumps in, but we were never allowed to double-time off the drop zone because of the heat. That heat wave was no fun. So yeah, I remember 1980.

Who is old enough to remember the brutally hot summer of 1980? Where are all my Texans and Cajun Queens at?

@jamie_raskin Lincoln would abhor sanctuary cities/states. You are a repulsive excuse for a politician. American Citizens deserve a safe walk on the sidewalk but cannot have one because of idiots like you who support illegal aliens more than American Citizens.
English
When he stood at Gettysburg and said, “Four score and seven years ago,” Lincoln pinned the beginnings of the country not in the writing of the Constitution, which had still not been transformed by the Civil War and Reconstruction, but in the Declaration of Independence, which proclaimed the values of equality, unalienable freedom, and democratic self-government. These values have been the driving force towards a more perfect Union.

🚨#BREAKING: A 28-year-old confirms he has spent the last 10 YEARS of his life interviewing World War II combat veterans to keep their stories alive...
...in fact, for the last 10 years, he has interviewed World War 2 veterans EVERY SINGLE DAY
He started as a teenager, ditching school to ride his BIKE to the local retirement home, walking up to the front desk and asking to, "meet some World War II heroes."
His name is Rishi Sharma.
He's crossed all 50 states and half the world.
He's slept in his car and lived on gas-station food to afford it.
He asks these men for hours of their memories, and then he hands the entire recording to their families...
...FOR FREE
So that 200 years from now, a great-great-grandchild will know not just their hero's name, but how he laughed, how he cried, and what he sacrificed.
Rishi has no military family, his parents immigrated here from India.
He does it out of pure gratitude.
In his words:
"My parents were given the opportunity to immigrate and raise a family because of veterans like these. It's a debt of love I'll spend my entire life trying to repay..."
As one 100-year-old Marine who stormed Iwo Jima told him, remembering the flag going up:
"The hair on my arms still stands up when I think about how beautiful it was."
THAT is America.
250 years of ordinary people doing extraordinary things...
God bless our veterans. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights."
Words that revolutionized the world. The product of great men who chose patriotism and courage in the face of impossible odds.
250 years later, we stand on the shoulders of the giants who created the greatest nation ever known to mankind. 🇺🇸

Why is anyone still paying attention to politicians like @RepJayapal and others who defend failed socialist ideas while treating Angel Families with contempt?
Their disgraceful behavior at the June 30 House hearing, especially toward the Gorman family, told us everything. They, and every angel family, deserved so much better.
Make no mistake:
This is the hierarchy of compassion in action.
Without a doubt, believe me from experience, American citizens come last.
I wrote about how concentrated government power and reckless ideology cost my daughter Katie her life.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA): “Cuba has shown us what a universal health care system actually looks like. Until this happened and despite all the challenges, Cuba had done an amazing job of preventing maternal mortality and neonatal mortality, cancer, all of the things that we strive to do in the United States."

Rep. Pramila Jayapal tells the parents of those murdered by illegal aliens that she has better things to do: "Unfortunately this hearing is the 4th time in this committee that we’ve had a hearing on sanctuary cities... There's many other things that we could be doing.”

Christians and Jews believe that people should be free to practice their religion in peace and privacy.
Mainstream Islam teaches that its ideology should govern society, requiring others to submit to it.
That's why I introduced the No Sharia Act to ensure that Sharia law cannot be imposed on those who don’t believe in it.
We won't stop fighting until this bill is passed.

.@RoKhanna is a rich radical who is seeking power by any means necessary. He does not even have a basic understanding of economics and he is a dissembler who greatly misled me and others to raise funds for his campaigns.
He is not to be trusted.
The Rational Animal 🤔@theobjectivist
Notice the opening. "When we gain power." Not when we are trusted to restore liberty to the individual, not when we earn the right to protect a free people, but when we gain power. That is how a man thinks who sees government as a weapon to wield, not a servant to restrain. Then read the method: "through executive action." He proposes to reshape the entire labor economy by decree, bypassing Congress, the branch that actually makes law. That is not a republic or even a democracy. It is rule by pen, the tool of a man who cannot win the argument and so skips the legislature entirely. And the substance is force. "Tie federal contracts to union recognition" means using the taxpayer's money to coerce workers and employers into an arrangement they never chose. @RoKhanna calls it standing up for the working class. It is standing on their necks and calling it help. A free man does not need you to "gain power" over him. He needs someone to defend his right to his own life which means to leave him free to produce and trade and keep what he earns.

I was taught well by my parents and family to never wish ill on another, and I've kept that in check all of my 67 years, BUT these days and events are tempting me.

You cannot dislike her enough. The level of disrespect, disdain, and dismissiveness that she showed the Gorman and Abraham families was shameful. It’s truly mind boggling that anyone would defend sanctuary policies.

🚨 HOLY CRAP. In a jaw-dropping betrayal, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and state officials have PARDONED an illegal alien CHILD PREDATOR who is convicted of s*xually assaulting a 10-YEAR-OLD He called his actions a "cultural thing" Democrats just condoned p*dophilia!! 🤯 This is their platform! DHS: "Tou Lue Vang was set to be removed from the country imminently after the pardon was announced. Now, the pardon could thwart his removal from the United States." "According to court filings, Vang repeatedly s*xually assaulted a girl between 2002 and 2004. On one occasion, he tried to offer his victim $10 to keep quiet about the s*xual assaults." "While being interviewed by police, he tried to justify his actions by saying that for him “it is a cultural thing...to marry and have s*x with girls as young as 12.” He also claimed that the victim was just as guilty as him and should also be arrested." “Governor Tim Walz's decision to pardon an illegal alien convicted child r*pist so he can remain in our country is disgusting." TIM SHOULD RESIGN, TONIGHT!

“Guys, I didn't born here, I didn't grow up here. English is not my first language. That's not the flag I born under. But look, I make this flag my flag. And I respect that flag.
Cause when I look at that flag, I remember every single hero… The ones who fought and fight to keep America great.
That's why I never will burn this flag… I'm proud to be an American citizen.”
