@canonlawyered I thought you outlined in your newsletter this is pretty much how FIFA and international soccer operate?

“To be faithful is to see even the sinful times and the bad times of our life, and of our country’s life, through the eyes of God. That means seeing them as causing real sorrow and real pain, but also remembering that where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more.”

One thing I love about Europe is the sweet smell of tobacco perfuming the streets. Makes me nostalgic.

America, hear me out… I love it here, and never thought I would… but I do… But seriously, it stinks of weed, every place I’ve visited. Don’t get me wrong, Boston stinks of piss and weed, and they seem more than ok with that. But everywhere else? What’s with that? Ps I Still love my time here, before you all come at me with your red coat yellow teeth crap as usual.

@michaeljknowles @PhilOutsider I think it’s the other way around. I personally know several laptop-class conservatives who use the word on the regular.

Excellent point from the VP. Elites don't say "retard"; the uncouth do. Yet elites celebrate the mass murder of retarded people in the womb, while the uncouth generally do not. Tone and virtue often run in opposite directions.

DOUTHAT: Let's be honest -- the tone of the administration is not consistently a Christian tone. There is a tone of aggressive uncharity JD VANCE: Tonal arguments are ways of, frankly, policing working class ways of communication, and covering them in elite preferences

Sherman called it in 1860:
“You mistake, too, the people of the North. They are a peaceable people but earnest people, and they will fight, too. They are not going to let this country be destroyed without a mighty effort to save it … You are rushing into war with one of the most powerful, ingeniously mechanical, and determined people on Earth — right at your doors.”

Churchill knew his country was saved after Pearl Harbor. He slept “the sleep of the saved and thankful” that night because he knew the kind of men who were coming into the war on his side, the kind who could visit unspeakable violence against their own kin and yet endure and remain one country:
“Some said they were soft, others that they would never be united. They would fool around at a distance. They would never come to grips. They would never stand bloodletting... But I had studied the American Civil War, fought out to the last desperate inch. American blood flowed in my veins. I thought of a remark which Edward Grey had made to me more than thirty years before—that the United States is like ‘a gigantic boiler. Once the fire is lighted under it there is no limit to the power it can generate.’”
A reminder that the boiler is not just industrial capacity and raw materials and supply chains, as vital as they are. Those things are necessary but not sufficient.
It really is the strength and raw courage of men crazy enough to watch the whole first wave ashore on D-Day go down who then decide they are going into that hell, too.

On this day in 1944 a little town in the Blue Ridge Mountains with about 3200 people would lose 20 sons, with 19 coming on Omaha Beach during the first wave. The “Bedford Boys” were made up primarily from Company A, 116th Infantry Regiment, 29th Infantry Division, and trained for two years in England before leading the charge for one of the greatest battles in history. Bedford would lose 23 sons in total, making it the highest per capita loss of life of any town, which led Congress in to designate Bedford as the site of the D-Day Memorial, dedicated in 2001.

@UberHansen Yeah, McD is primarily on the hook for most of these losses but not this one.

The primary reason the Bills gave up 31 points at home to a Dolphins tram led by a 3rd-string rookie QB wasn't Sean McDermott...
...it was Josh Allen.
Mafia Sports Report@TommyTalksBills
McDermott's playoff defenses allowed 199 points in losses since 2020 — most in the NFL. They even gave up 31 points at home to a Dolphins team led by a 3rd-string rookie QB. This is exactly why change was needed. McDermott had to go. #BillsMafia #Bills

One of my favorite @EWTN segments is my 2018 interview with Frank Stephens, an advocate for people with intellectual disabilities.
He shares his message for parents expecting a baby with Down syndrome.

The point was not making the major leagues. The point was forming boys into men. It was teaching them to improve through effort, to play fair and play hard, to learn from failures, to celebrate others’ successes.
Maybe more importantly, the point was boys having fun with Dad. washingtonexaminer.com/?p=4585929

NEWS: The Washington Nationals have let go of a community relations executive, sources told The Athletic on Friday, three days after a conservative group posted a hidden camera conversation in which the employee discussed internal deliberations about everything from an alleged social media ban on a Catholic pitcher, relationships with defense contractors, and the organization’s efforts to placate President Trump.

@KenShepherd Yeah, it was kinda controversial when it came out from what I've heard.

I mean she’s right when you listen to the lyrics. The song is set on July 4 and is a metaphor for a woman’s violent (and fiery) retribution against a violent husband (while her daughter is at an Independence Day fair).

Martina McBride has canceled her performance at the Freedom 250 Great American State Fair, saying, "it's time for America to finally realize that my song 'Independence Day' is about escaping an abusive husband, not anything to do with America's founding. C'mon people."

Since we’re having the children-restaurant discourse, this is my only contribution.
While dining out with our 15 month-old, we were inexplicably placed next to a young couple in a near-empty restaurant. We were hyperconscious to ensure our lovable angel-but-still-a-toddler wouldn’t ruin their date.
However, I soon realized the man was speaking ~90% of the time. Places he visited, industries he was interested in, etc. His date politely listened and only periodically chimed in with questions or comments. She did gracefully take interest in our toddler, who as the evening progressed playfully pulled on the tablecloth and squawked with increasing delight and frequency. We eventually paid our bill, ushered ourselves out, and left them in peace.
If I had to put money on it, though, they’re not together. If that’s the case, I’d like to think our disruption-via-kid had some small part to play in the relationship’s demise. (Or gave them a funny story to remember if they stuck together) Dude needed to ask her questions about herself and let her talk more.

I had the honor of working closely with him on a number of projects over the years. He was the real deal.
He had so many reasons to harbor grievances given what he experienced in the civil rights movement, but he had nothing but grace for others. He was always looking to build bridges and converse with anyone who would listen. A titan of a man, one of a kind.
