A Portion Of George Washington's Farewell Speech

The unity of government which constitutes you
one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so; for
it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real
independence, the support of your tranquility at
home, your peace abroad, of your safety, of your
prosperity, of that very liberty which you so highly
prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different
causes and from different quarters, much pains will
be taken, many artifices employed, to weaken in your
minds the conviction of this truth; as this is the point
in your political fortress against which the batteries
of internal and external enemies will be most
constantly and actively (though often covertly and
insidiously) directed, it is of infinite moment that you
should properly estimate the immense value of your
national Union to your collective and individual
happiness; that you should cherish a cordial,
habitual, and immovable attachment to it;
accustoming yourselves to think and speak of it as of
the palladium of your political safety and prosperity;
watching for its preservation with jealous anxiety;
discountenancing whatever may suggest even a
suspicion that it can in any event be abandoned, and
indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of every
attempt to alienate any portion of our country from
the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link
together the various parts.

Whatever drugs MushHead was on during the State of The Union Speech, he might have wanted to be that doped up, again.

WATCH: Biden Claims His Uncle Was Eaten By Cannibals.
Joe Biden — while speaking to the press in Scranton, Pennsylvania earlier on Wednesday — delved into a strange tangent about his late uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, possibly having been eaten by cannibals. The 81-year-old Biden described how Finnegan — whom he referred to as “Uncle Bosie” — was a U.S. airman during World War II who crashed near the Melanesian island of New Guinea in the Pacific Ocean.

Some fluidity asexual non-binary us/we pronouns got shafted attempting to get concert tickets. No tickets, so of course the DOJ is going to get involved.

Biden might actually do something about ludicrously expensive concert tickets

This story just doesn't pass the smell test. Amirite?

MONTGOMERY COUNTY — A local high school student will miss out on her senior prom after getting suspended over bringing a bag of corn chips to school.

As reported on News Center 7 at 5:00, Miami Valley Career Technology Center prohibits bringing this kind of snack to school because a teacher is severely allergic to an ingredient.

So what you are saying that my 80/20 ground beef burger on the grill is better than your veggie burger? Go figure.

That's Impossible! Vegan 'Meat' Not So Good for You After All

There's a "health halo" surrounding manufactured vegan "meat" products even though they provide no "clear benefit" — and might even be bad for your heart health, according to a new study reported on in the Daily Mail.

A religion that calls us The Great Satan and chants for our death, I take seriously. Unlike the following expert.

“The Islamic republic thrives on a state of conflict, not war,” said Behnam Ben Taleblu, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies think tank. “Tehran accomplished the lion’s share of its goals against Israel in the week before it launched missiles. Literally, the world was watching and waiting on Iran, forced to take their threats seriously due to their increasing drone and missile use in the region. This was a status boon and a security boon.”

Constitutional? We know what Constitutional is and you serfs are lucky to count your given blessings.

When it comes to precedents, Democrats sure do love to break them to protect their own.

After impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas were delivered to the Senate this week, both impeachment articles were quashed by the Democrat-controlled upper chamber before a trial was even held.

Sometimes the stuff I run across as your ONT Cob makes me shake my head. 'Jealousy, time constraints and broken boundaries can complicate what otherwise appears to be a frisky freewheeling faction who are happily throwing convention out the window.'
