Former Army personnel officer here, 6 years active duty, one in a combat zone. Processed many medals. Some insights on the Walz stolen valor controversy. A thread…

I once interviewed an American lawyer who had helped prosecute Nazis at Nuremberg, and he had watched them hang, and when I asked him to describe the experience, he said, “Harrowing,” not because he had any misgivings about Nazis being punished for their crimes, but because we were talking about life and death, and it felt monumental. This is how normal people think. They don’t celebrate death — even the death of someone who didn’t vote the way they would have preferred he voted. They’re certainly not “overjoyed” by it. They may come to the conclusion that it’s necessary and just, as in the case of the American lawyer at Nuremberg, but they are also cognizant of the gravity, the finality, of death. They are not Bolsheviks or savages about it.

Notice how he became successful regardless of the fact that he grew up without seeing someone who “looked like him” do it first. The representation racket is BS. You don’t need to see people who look like you on screen to do anything.

America is a place, merged with an idea. Americans are those here who agree to this idea. The idea is that anything is possible and that you can live your life the way you want, so long as that way does not impinge on others’ ability to live the way they want. As the current custodians of America, we will keep this idea sacred, so that it is healthy and alive for those who come after us. Just like those of the past 250 years did for us. Happy 4th of July.

Lib: "Happy birthday." USA: "Thanks!" (Eating apple pie) Lib: "You’re not perfect." USA: "Yeah…okay." Lib: "People say you’re exceptional." USA: "Oh, that’s nice!" Lib: "You ARE exceptional." USA: "Thank you?" Lib: "What makes you exceptional is that we can still change everything that is so crappy about you! YOU ARE PRETTY TERRIBLE." USA: "This seems like a time and place issue. It’s my birthday." Lib: "And on every single birthday you have disappointed me." USA: "I never said I was perfect. But I feel pretty proud of what we’ve built." Lib: "YOU NEED TO BE DIFFERENT. YOU’RE SUCH A HYPOCRITE." USA: "Becoming better was kinda the point. There’s a plan for doing that in my birth docs." Lib: "And here you are, obsessing over your good traits and accomplishments ON YOUR BIRTHDAY." USA: "Mm-hmm, that seems kinda normal." Lib: "GAH, YOU MAKE ME SO ANGRY!" USA: "I think maybe you're just not interested in a bday party?" Lib: "Oh, great tolerance! Way to live up to your values! This is what I MEAN about you!"

250. America. @USMC

@TheEXECUTlONER_ Bat “flip”? That was a bat *throw*. A *sky hurl*. That could have killed a couple of birds for crying out loud.

This young man hit a towering home run over the fence. But when he gets back home, the run counts and the umpire ejects him for flipping the bat. Many people said what’s the big deal? A lot of people flip the bat. But a lot of people agreed with the ump. Great call. Teach them now that is no way to act. I think the ump may have just wanted him but when he watched him throw his helmet off and jump across home plate as well, I think it became an easy decision. What do you think? Do you think the umpire made the right call? Was the ejection justified?

The Bolsheviks weren’t a problem then they were a major problem. A 10 million dead problem. The Democrat Socialists of America are the same. They don’t seem like a problem now but will be a major problem if not stopped. Communist movements can’t be allowed to fester and grow.

We’re all trying to find the guys responsible for making Chicago like this, David. It’s a real mystery

@Kevineckstein Not only was Obama the MOST divisive, he was the most *destructive*...but thankfully Trump has been steadily restoring what Obama attempted to destroy.

@koolidge wow jealous much of Obama? Btw Trump smokes him as the most divisive Pres ever. Not even close.
