We’re a nation with no quit. We see trouble as a stepping stone; a lesson to be learned and applied to the next mess. Hell, we overthrew the most well-established government by defeating the most powerful army in the world, all because we didn’t want to pay extraneous taxes…, particularly on tea.
We’ve always been ready to right our wrongs, in other words. Well, that was 200 years ago.
But this 4th of July, a new poll seems to suggest that Americans aren’t as proud as they once were, and by a fairly shocking margin.
The 28% of U.S. adults who say they are “extremely proud” to be American is the lowest in Gallup’s trend, which began in 2001. Still, 15% of U.S. adults express pride in the nation. Another 12% say they are “moderately proud,” while 19% are “only a little” and 26% are “not at all” proud.
Some believe the missing morales were due to a glut of turbulence throughout the nation.
This record-low level of extreme national pride comes at a challenging time in the U.S. as a pandemic-weary public is struggling with the highest U.S. inflation rate in more than four decades. These data are from a June 1-20 poll that was conducted after mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas, claimed 31 lives, including 19 children. Bipartisan gun legislation in response to the shootings was passed shortly after the poll ended. The polling also preceded the U.S. Supreme Court’s highly anticipated and controversial ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.
Of course, the spirit of America is to face these challenges head-on, as we always have. What’s different these days is the advent of the mainstream media, and their dependence upon angry, divided Americans to make their money. We’ve been coerced into these feelings by the media’s reaction to the issues, not by the issues themselves.

This sense of shame comes from the realization that a minority of Americans elected a crooked carnival barker president and then when he was thoroughly beaten by Joe Biden and denied a second term by millions of votes they bought his big lie that the election was crooked.

Trump was the best president in my life time. You can blather bullshit all you want but check the facts. Of all the accusations you creeps have put out are nothing but lies not one piece of truth. Your kind are just welfare hangers on

I find it interesting that the right wing is attacking school curculams in this country. NYS has a curculam set by the state that covers everything you should teach in a course or a year. It is made up by a board that is composed by subject matter. So Chemistry teachers decide what is covered in Chemistry class, not some ignorant parrent with an ax to grind.

'I regret all of these texts'
The panel released interviews with right-wing activists and candidates who had backed Mr Trump's false claims that the 2020 election had been stolen from him.
One of them, Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, a conservative operative and wife of US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, came under intense scrutiny after the Washington Post and CBS News reported that she had texted White House chief of staff Mark Meadows urging them to continue challenging the election results.

Her texts raised ethical concerns over the wife of a Supreme Court justice engaging in partisan activity.
"I regret all of these texts," Ms Thomas told the January 6 committee when interviewed about these communications.
"It was an emotional time," she said. "I was probably just emoting, as I clearly was with Mark Meadows somewhat."
Fox News' Sean Hannity says he knew all along Trump lost the election

Capt-Jack, Before I retired seventeen years ago, I was a teacher of special education, and social studies, grades 6-12. I taught in one of the most liberal counties in the country, Montgomery County Maryland. During that time, I never, ever heard a teacher put down this country. We did teach the Maryland curricula which included slavery, the terrible treatment of American Indians, and other not so nice eras of American, and modern world history, but they need teaching as well as other more uplifting topics like the fact that we are a democratic republic which includes a lot of great history, and philosophy of government.

My how things have changed. Now your preferred party wants to teach sexual perversions to grade schoolers. Teach minorities they are perpetual victims, whites are systematically racist and act as if blacks were the only people’s to ever be enslaved.
You should be proud.
You should be proud.

Your party wants to keep you in a state of fear and anger. CRT was something discussed in law schools but they pretended it was taught all over. Then it morphed into banning books. Classic books are now being banned because they contain something someone dislikes. Following these examples, all the religious books will definitely have to be banned.

The racist principles of CRT are being taught under different names. ‘Social justice’, ‘equity, etc..
Books are not ‘banned’ but discretion is used in schools. Do you think a 10 year old should be able to access Hustler?
Classic books? And who wanted Tom Sawyer banned? Yuck Finn? To Kill a Mockingbird?
