Students and other young people walking around the Georgetown area of Washington, D.C., struggled to say whether they were "proud" to be American ahead of 4th of July weekend. Ophelie Jacobson, a reporter with Campus Reform — a conservative news site and higher-education watchdog — walked around Georgetown asking young people in the area whether they were proud to be American and whether the United States is the greatest country in the world. "I feel sorry for those young students," Lily Tang Williams, an American citizen who immigrated from China, told "Fox & Friends" on Saturday in response to the video. "They remind me of my past, living in communist China."

Proud of a nation that embraces Marxism, whose government openly opposes the will of the people and works to destroy our national sovereignty, that rigs elections and forbids discussion of same, that teaches gay pride to preschool children, that promotes abortion as a health issue, that promotes hatred against WHITE people, that is dismantling its own history… I could go on; do you have all day? Meanwhile, the useful idiots repeat ideas put into their heads by our government-controlled "free" Marxist media and educational networks, whose propaganda aims to destroy the USA.

No surprise. Georgetown University is ultra-liberal. George Washington University is one step behind. American University is two steps behind.

Long past time to sign these liberals up for the Peace Corp and ship them to any third world hell hole for a year. Africa and Afghanistan come to mind. Let's see how they feel then! Their parents must be so proud, especially the one from Georgia!

Maybe a good long stint in the US Armed Forces deployed to some third world excrement-hole country would let them see what much of the rest of the world is like and why so many people from other countries are trying to immigrate here. But, I doubt many these soft morons could hack boot camp.

I despise Biden's America. That said, I am proud to stand in the one country in the world that has enshrined the potential for freedom - if we only reach out and grasp it. Our Constitution identifies things our government MAY NOT DO!! Every other place on Earth, their Constitutions are filled with things their CITIZENS, may not do. We just need to remind, forcibly, our government, that they are our servants, not the other way around.

I grew up in northern Virginia -BEFORE it got paved over!- and wound up studying in and graduating from the engineering program at George Washington U. Agree with the earlier L-Dotters..... Georgetown is Leftie-Elite land, and most of GW is one step behind. Could not stand most of the people in Dee Cee. I'm happy to be about 1,000 miles FROM there, deep in Flyover Country, where people ARE Proud to be Americans!

FTA: ~~ "Some of the interviewees also said their college educations influenced how they view the United States. "I'm from Georgia, and I never would have learned had I not taken those classes, just about the way the justice system works and zoning laws and I think college really opened my eyes to a lot of these things," one of the women in the video, who told Jacobson she went to American University in D.C., said."~~ .....Of course...'college educations influenced'.......How do we get out Country Back??....

Instead of educating these young people, colleges have indoctrinated and made them ignorant. Many people, though these numb skulls are an exception, realize that there has never been any country in the history of civilized man that has done so much for so many people. The United States is the greatest country on earth. It has enabled million of people to live in peace, have freedom and the opportunity to live their dreams. If you do not like the U.S. and can't feel patriotic, you can always move. The government will not incarcerate, murder you or hold you here, In other words, pick a better country and go.

House Sergeant At Arms ‘Slips Up’ & May

Shooter

The Acting House Sergeant at Arms appeared before a House committee and appears to have named Ashli Babbitt’s shooter. Timothy Blodgett, in an exchange with Rep. Herrera-Buetler during a hearing on Jan. 6 that appeared on C-SPAN, seems to have casually dropped the name. [SNIP] It is interesting that Blodgett names an “Officer Byrd” in the context of Ashli Babbitt’s shooting. An African-American Lieutenant Mike Byrd was reported by Roll Call as having once left his service weapon in a bathroom in 2019. “A U.S. Capitol Police lieutenant left his service weapon in a bathroom Monday night and the unattended gun was discovered later by another Capitol Police officer,” Roll Call reported.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem said the Biden administration hasn’t provided an explanation for canceling the massive fireworks display at Mount Rushmore. President Donald Trump, she said, brought back the Mount Rushmore fireworks display after it was rescinded under the Obama administration, which cited environmental concerns at the time. “We had the fireworks at Mount Rushmore for years,” Noem, a Republican, told Fox News last week. “It wasn’t until President Obama came into office that they took it away.” Noem, who filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration, suggested that “political reasons” were behind the move to not permit the display.

The England players were tonight greeted with a cacophony of boos, whistles and cheers as they took the knee before kick-off in the quarter finals of Euro 2020. Ukraine stayed on their feet as England continued with the Black Lives Matter gesture ahead of the quarter final clash at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Some speculated online that the crowd could have been booing Ukraine for refusing to kneel, but boos have thundered from Three Lions fans at every game thus far, irrespective of whether or not the opposition has joined England in kneeling. The disapproval for the gesture comes despite the repeated pleas of manager Gareth Southgate and the Football Association.

On the Siksika Nation reserve, about 95 kilometres east of Calgary, there are two churches about 15 kilometres apart for the 8,000 residents, one Catholic, the other Anglican. In the dark early morning — one on Monday, the second on Tuesday — someone tried to burn them both down. Advertisement Article content It looks like Molotov cocktails of some sort were used, smashing a window and burning the window frame, but failing to spread flames deep inside. “They were both intentionally set, no doubt about that,” said Tom Littlechild, director of emergency services for the Siksika Nation. “But both structures are very intact.” The same cannot be said of some other churches.

NCAA athletes are wasting little time in capitalizing on new rules allowing them to profit off their name, image, and likeness (NIL), with some high-profile stars expecting to sign six-figure endorsement deals. Payouts will vary 'client to client, deal to deal' sports attorney Darren Heitner told DailyMail.com, adding that contracts in excess of $100,000 are 'absolutely' expected before the fall sports season starts in late August. And Heitner isn't guessing.

Those of Joe Biden’s public behaviors that align with classic dementia symptoms are escalating. In the past few days, he strongly exhibited two symptoms: A type of belligerence that’s a cover-up for confusion and memory loss and a paranoid fear of those in charge of him. I used to spend a lot of time in the company of doctors. What always fascinated me were the tales they told of dealing with patients with early-stage dementia. The most interesting point they made was that elderly people, so as not to lose face or admit their own fears, are superb at deflecting the questions aimed at assessing their cognitive skills and memory.
