I love interacting with accounts from all over the world, but if you have been claiming to be American when you clearly aren't I will block you. ✌🏼🇺🇸 – at Arcola, TX

Wow. How does this not have a million views? 🤔
This is my 1st hand account of hearing Susie Wiles bash Trump in 2022 while I was cleaning the windows of her house.

Replying to @Mate0M
Agreed. That hallway clip with Bowman showed Massie folding under pressure instead of standing his ground. Trump’s right...he’s not the fighter he pretends to be.

At the time of Mexican Cession, the vast majority of the Northern frontier of Mexico was inhabited by white folks. Among the Mexicans in land sold to the United States, 95 percent of them chose to become American citizens instead of staying Mexican.
Because a solid chunk of the southern US used to be Mexico. Mexicans didn’t all cross the border, the border crossed us.

Gloomy church sermons in Texas this morning.

The Republicans were crushed in the 1974 midterms. Reagan later delivered a speech explaining why: ♦️ “The meaning of the last election will not be found among those who voted. It will be found among those who stayed home—the biggest non-voter bloc in our nation’s history. And why did they stay home? Well, because they said they couldn’t see any difference between the two parties.”♦️ There’s a lesson in that worth remembering. You can’t win voters by simply telling them how bad the other side is. You have to give them a compelling reason to vote for you. Stand for something. Be bold, unapologetically conservative, offer a clear contrast, and most importantly, deliver on the promises you campaigned on. Voters need to see a real difference, not just hear about one.

I bet Beto O'Rourke and Elon Musk are feeling a lot of similar things right now. – at Arcola, TX

Had to put down my precious doggo today. She lived 20 human years. I taught her martial arts during the COVID shut down. She loved good music and naps. She was a good dog. 🐶 😭 – at Arcola, TX

Been looking into this new candidate for Texas Governor, Greg Abbott. Evidently he has a plan to lower our property taxes. Seems like a nice fella. – at Arcola, TX

Reading and grading college student's papers that are clearly drafted by AI is very demoralizing, to the point of making me rethink my life choices. Sigh.

Synder fans tend to enjoy plot over story. This line made sense when you consider the woman Clark loves was questioning his motives which were pure and altruistic, while hers were mostly political. – at Arcola, TX
I do want to bring up one important fact though about the scene that the Snyder Bros tend to gloss over, or ignore. And that fact is five words that Clark yells out. “People were going to die.” Superman cares about everyone. That is why he yelled. He didn’t want anyone to die.

I actually feel bad for Snyder fans right now. They got sold a load of goods from fake news outlets, but they are the most toxic nerds out there. They come at you and curse at you for simply trying to analyze the Paramount/WB merger from an objective business perspective. – at Arcola, TX

Jesus is not a fake god. He is a historical figure with strong contemporary attestation, claimed divinity through resurrection accounts that launched the world's largest religion, and stands apart from the purely mythological figures in that image.

I've been a Gunn/DCU supporter but objectively, she's right. This show has been such a drag and a grind (my main complaint with the MCU right now). The last episode was the first one I didn't fall asleep at some point. – at Arcola, TX
I think I’m dropping Lanterns at episode four. It’s boring
