America copied a myth. Washington DC, the Lincoln Memorial, the Supreme Court — all modeled on ancient Rome.
Ancient Rome didn't look like that.

Being surrounded by books is my refuge. The older the better🏛

I still can’t believe I’m the first person to be telling the full story.
“The good stuff” wasn’t even hard to find.

A Springfield, Ohio, homeowner woke to a screeching explosion one night.
A Haitian crashed through his garage & killed his pets in a great grisly splatter.
The Haitian attempted to flee. The homeowner tackled him. Police showed up and assumed the White homeowner was to blame.

Sherrod Brown said he doesn’t hear about immigration from voters “except people on the far right.” Well, voters spoke loud and clear when they fired him two years ago. Ohioans remember Brown's border crisis. We'll keep him retired this November.

@JoshuaLisec If you imoort 10k Haitians suddenly into ohio, results predictable. Haiti is a primitive shithole.

The Alexandria fire is largely a myth. History is more complex.

The story everyone knows: Caesar burned the Library of Alexandria in one night. The story that actually happened: it faded over 600 years because nobody made it a priority. One fits inside a headline. The other explains how civilizations actually die. Article in comments.

@McphailOf Really? V interesting! Thanks for this. A good point to research

@Pastpassport Interestingly, the cities of the Ancient Mediterranean probably resembled in many aspects the cities of the Indian subcontinent-- colorful buildings, incense, smoke, covered women

To anyone who reads Dostoevsky, Kafka, Plath, Woolf, Nietzsche, Tolstoy, and Camus...

The Roman Forum wasn't white. It was painted in vivid color for a thousand years.
Here's how we got it so wrong:

@Maverick31224 @YourTXNeighbor @JeffWCarlton You arnt doing gays any favors with this stuff. Don't care who does what but 30 days a yr ? Transvestites reading to kids? Men i women sports . All this in the last decade. Its tiresome and aggressive. Insults welcome but be original
English
@YourTXNeighbor @JeffWCarlton Yeah, man. Nobody is seeking your approval. They are asking you to stop being an afraid douchebag.

For a billion-dollar organization, Major League Baseball seems to regularly have terrible public relations gaffes.
Attempting to force players to uphold an ideology they don't support is terribly anti-American and conformist.
Let the players wear which hat they prefer.

Three Giants pitchers wore Bible verses on their Pride Night caps during Friday’s game. MLB has since issued a warning to them.

@YourTXNeighbor @JeffWCarlton I can agree doing away with all themed nights. I also think they should do away with the national anthem and flag presentations and flyovers etc. Jyst play the games. I bet you wouldn’t go along with that.

Every time I see a video or post with Europeans having a great time & appreciating American culture, there’s always a comment section full of liberals with the same one trick pony line:
“bUt, wE dOnT hAvE FrEe hEaLtHcArE”.
I think it’s hilarious how they still haven’t figured out that nothing is ever free.
😂😂😂

@attackdogX No country is perfect. Obamacare gives free shit to many people. Its the middle class who isnt subsidized thst gets screwed. Yiu can gwt free care at public hospitals

They could have put those verses on their caps any other month and have could have done it for the whole year on non-major League baseball caps. But they decided to do it pride month because they have to let everybody know how selfish and insecure they are because they have an imaginary friend who allegedly doesn't have much acceptance or tolerance for gay people

@StrengthNPurpos I run during day usually. Used to run early. Just dont like it as much now . I prefer to get up at 6 or so and walk dog , work, then run later
English
I’ve been beating myself up about not running in the morning for the last several months.
Then I realized that the past 5 months are the most consistently I’ve run in my entire life.
Early morning runs are overrated.

Thats ok I realize my article .ight seem as being critical. I dont criticize the founding fathers. Just the twist of history interests me. Thats kinda what my account does....points out unusual things many dont know or how things arnt quite what we thought. I didnt know myself about Rome in color until five yrs ago
English
@galen_tracy They did their best studying Rome and its fall. Smart men.
English
It is interesting and we copy a lot from Rome and the founding fathers were pretty smart but they didn't fully account that one day democrats would try and destroy the country, but I really believe good always wins in the end and that is why Trump is my president and why the entire world is moving to the right at breakneck speeds.
English
@galen_tracy Im pro American. My article isnt meant to be a criticism of us or Jefferson
English
@Pastpassport Myth?
No America took notes from the most successful civilization that ever existed and improved it immensely.
Braindead clods think America is going top fall like Rome, well it won't, not even with the America hating democrat trying to destroy it.
