One of my earliest memories was when the ship, La Liberte’ which brought me and my family to America, glided by the Statue of Liberty at the entrance of New York Harbor, as my Mother, who knew its importance, lifted me up to view her from our third class cabin porthole . . .

Imagine being anti-diversity while standing in line for Mexican food, listening to Black music, driving a Japanese car, wearing clothes made in Asia, using technology developed by immigrants, and enjoying freedoms fought for by people of every background.
You don’t hate diversity. You love everything it gives you. You just don’t want to respect the people who bring it.
THAT’S HYPOCRISY.

🇺🇸JD Vance: "Murders in NYC have reached the lowest level in recorded history under Trump."
🇺🇸Zohran: "Bro, the reality is NYC dropped murders to historic lows while you were busy burning taxpayers' money in wars. Next time you want credit try doing the job first you fool."
Zohran Mamdani is now the most popular leader all over the United States🔥

🇺🇦トランプが「多くのロシア人も戦争で亡くなっている」とたびたび語ることについて、ゼレンスキー大統領はこう答えた。
「私たちの領土に入り、私たちの人々を殺しているロシア兵が死んでいくのを見ても、私は涙を流さない」
侵略を決め、兵士を送り込んだのはプーチンだ。そして現地で人々を殺し、住宅や学校、教会を破壊しているのは、ロシア兵自身だ。「命令されたから」で、その行為の責任が消えるわけではない。
トランプがロシア兵の死を憂うなら、その死を生み続けているプーチンに侵略の停止と撤兵を迫るべきだ。家族を殺され、故郷を焼かれた人々に、侵略者への同情を求めるのは筋違いだ。

NFL华盛顿指挥官队前老板丹·斯奈德，花4800万美元在马里兰州买下一座紧挨着波托马克河的豪华庄园，唯一让他看着不顺眼的，是庄园与河岸之间隔着一片受联邦法律保护的国家公园原始林地，挡住了他在阳台上看河的视线。
2004年斯奈德动用人脉绕过环保听证，直接雇了一支伐木队开进国家公园领地，操起电锯一口气砍光了130棵百年原生大树，给自家后院清出了一片无遮挡的河景视野。
国家公园首席巡逻员罗伯特·丹诺发现整片山坡被砍秃后依法上报追查，没想到斯奈德靠着高层关系，最后只交了一笔微不足道的小额罚款就轻松过关了；
反倒是坚持追查到底的巡逻员丹诺遭到了内部疯狂报复，不仅被无故收缴警徽和配枪，还被发配去管郊区小卖部，甚至连家里都被联邦法警持枪破门搜查。

I want a stiff code of ethics for the Supreme Court passed by Congress, with an independent office of judicial ethics that would investigate every allegation of misconduct and make recommendations to the judicial conference. Detailed explanation from them if not implemented.
