This is pure 🔥 🔥 🔥 from Tracey!! Absolutely love it!
Real patriotism the kind that built this country has always been proven in deeds: crossing oceans to start over, fighting actual wars for ideals, marching for civil rights when it wasn't popular, innovating breakthroughs that changed the world, or yes, training 20,000 hours to shave 0.01 seconds off a time so the U.S. flag flies highest on the Olympic pole. That's sacrifice. That's service. That's love in action.
Your version? A cheap verbal tollbooth at the entrance to national pride. Pay the performative lip-service fee or get turned away—no matter how many world records you've broken for the team, no matter how many kids back home are inspired watching you win.
It's the patriotism of the keyboard crusader: loud, low-effort, zero skin in the game.
Demand athletes bare their souls on command while you bare nothing but opinions from a climate-controlled studio. I
If that's the bar, then medals aren't earned they're rented to whoever kisses the ring loudest.
This isn't about loving America; it's about controlling the narrative of what "American" is allowed to look like.
Quiet competence? Suspect. Reserved focus? Disloyal. Refusing to turn private conviction into public theater? Borderline treasonous in your book.
That's not defending freedom; that's policing it. The Founders didn't spill blood so future generations could play loyalty-enforcement officer over elite sports.
They fought so people could excel without having to audition their inner monologue first.
So keep gatekeeping the soul of the nation from your microphone fortress. The athletes will keep doing the actual heavy lifting—carrying the flag physically while you try to carry it rhetorically.
If your patriotism requires mandatory declarations over measurable dominance, then maybe the problem isn't their love of country... it's your insecurity about what counts as enough without the soundbite.

Sad news 💔🇬🇭
15-year-old Ghanaian teenager Javits Frimpong has reportedly been shot and killed in the Bronx, New York, while on his way to school.
His father believes the incident may be connected to bullying he had experienced at school, although police have not confirmed any link.
He moved from Ghana to America just a year ago in search of a better future, but sadly, his life has been cut short.
May his soul rest in perfect peace. 🕊️💔

Stormy Daniels says she spanked Donald Trump with a Forbes magazine and slept with him while his wife was home with their 4-month-old son. Then a stranger threatened her baby. Then she got $130,000 to shut up. That money made Trump the first US president convicted of a felony.
It started in July 2006 at a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe. She was a 27-year-old adult film star working the event, he was a 60-year-old reality TV host with a wife at home and a four-month-old son. She says he invited her to dinner in his hotel suite, where she swatted him with a rolled-up copy of Forbes with his face on the cover, and they slept together that night. Trump has always denied it ever happened.
For five years she barely told anyone. Then in 2011 a tabloid called In Touch got hold of the story and she sat down with them for an interview. It never ran. Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen threatened to sue and the magazine shelved it. A few weeks later she was getting her daughter out of the car at a gym in Las Vegas when a stranger came up behind her and delivered the message. She says she was so scared she kept it to herself for years.
In October 2016 the story came back. Trump was days away from winning the presidency and Cohen wired $130,000 through a shell company he set up in Delaware. She signed an NDA under a fake name, Peggy Peterson. Trump was listed as David Dennison. When the Wall Street Journal broke the story in 2018, she signed two statements denying the affair. She later said she was pressured into signing both of them.
She says she had turned down far bigger offers over the years to tell the story. Then in March 2018 she went on 60 Minutes and told it for free. 22 million people watched. Cohen pleaded guilty, went to federal prison and turned on his former boss.
In May 2024 a New York jury found Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records connected to the payment. He became the first former president convicted of a felony and still won the election that November. Stormy lost her defamation case against him and was ordered to pay his legal fees, which ran into hundreds of thousands of dollars.
She took $130,000 to stay quiet. Talking cost her more than the money ever paid.
Do you believe Stormy Daniels, or do you think she made the whole thing up?
Here’s another one!

Americans are pretty crazy!
george washington really crossed a river, fought the british, and then decided the biggest threat to america was the english language.
“we’ll call it a dozen, but only for 12. hamburger has no ham. buffalo wings have no buffalo. and nobody is allowed to ask what’s in a hot dog.”
bro founded a country and immediately made a language-learning app necessary.
This is most excellent! @PontistGirl this explains a lot!
There’s a movie on this story as well!
A teenager phoned Pan Am and said someone had stolen his pilot's uniform. Pan Am sent him to its tailor and billed the $289 to its own payroll.
His name is Frank Abagnale. He ran away from home at 16 with no job and no money, and says nobody would pay him more than $1.50 an hour.
So he told employers he was 26. Then he began writing personal checks on a bank account with nothing in it. Shops took them.
The uniform needed an ID card. He bought a model Pan Am plane, softened the decals in water and pressed them onto a blank card.
By his own count he flew about 3 million miles and reached 82 countries. Hotels accepted his checks because airlines had agreed to cover crew checks up to $100.
He was convicted in France, then Sweden, then the United States, and he served his time.
In the video below, you see him explain the uniform call and the decal ID himself, on The Tonight Show, as the studio audience laughs and then applauds.
Watch for the line about shopkeepers:
"Most people don't realize how gullible the average storekeeper is."
Banks later paid him to teach tellers how to spot a bad check. Is hiring a man convicted of passing them smart security, or the wrong lesson?

It’s happening‼️ A hardcore Trump supporter at his South Carolina rally calls him a liar and says he can barely afford to live.
He relies on Biden’s $35 insulin cap and showed up hoping Trump had something good to say.
Even his own supporters are fed up.
