Since I can do this now, and the Whitehouse just released an AI video detailing Teddy Roosevelt's martial pursuits while President, I thought I'd reprise something I wrote more than five years ago on another platform (Facebook). I was specifically addressing the Mark Zuckerberg (@finkd) family at the time. But it applies to ALL elite families, including the Trumps: So, I've been thinking about a "class" of people we shall call children of privilege. Since this is Facebook (and now I'm MOSTLY just copy/pasting onto X), let's make it about Mark Zuckerberg's kids. Not **specifically** about the Chan-Zuckerberg kids but about they're future, as well as that of the progeny of any of our other tech-oligarch elites. Do you feel an obligation to serve the nation that gave you the opportunity to be one of the wealthiest men in the history of the world? Will your kids? Pshaw, you might say. Rich kids don't do things like join the military, why should they? What does that tell us about what you're teaching your kids vs. how "rich kids" of yesterday were raised by parents such as...oh, let's pick our 26th President Teddy Roosevelt? In addition to losing his youngest son Quentin KIA in World War I, another of his sons Ted, Jr. (actually III but known as junior in relation to his father the President) had begun training with a lot of other "rich kids" as soon as war broke out in Europe and was one of the first officers to deploy when the US declared war in 1917. He commanded at both the battalion and regimental level. He was gassed at Soissons in addition to other injuries and received the United States' 2nd highest decoration for valor, the Distinguished Service Cross. In addition to Quentin (KIA) Ted's other brothers Kermit and Archibald served with distinction & valor. All three surviving brothers would continue to be active in the Guard and Reserves after the war and would serve in senior leadership positions during the Second World War. Ted, after refusing orders to look after his health was the only general to assault the beaches of Normandy from the sea, with his troops. His son Captain Quentin Roosevelt II (named for his KIA uncle) also landed on the beaches that day. BG Ted Roosevelt took it upon himself to reorganize scattered and confused units in order to break out from the beach, all while unarmed and using a cane to walk. Years later, legendary Five Star General Omar Bradley was asked to recall the single most heroic action he had ever seen in combat. His answer was short and only five words "Ted Roosevelt on Utah Beach." Only about a month after D-Day Ted Roosevelt died of a heart attack - remember his superiors were very worried about his health. The man literally drove himself to his death in service to his country. After what would have been his second Distinguished Service Cross award was upgraded, the Medal of Honor was awarded posthumously that September. In addition to Quentin II (who saw last saw his father on the same day he died) Ted, Jr's. other two sons also served with distinction. Do any of our current "elite" and their families feel this same sense of duty or is it anachronistic in 21st century America?

Stop being ignorant!

My LORD, the race baiters and the gullible are really out in force today. And, sadly, they include the sitting governor of Maryland! 😳

I realize there's a huge per capita difference but just as many Californians live in North Dakota as do South Dakotans! 🤣

It's also some "avant garde" designer's vision of a "GREEN" monument. IOW it appears to be a monument to nothing more than the desiger's ego.🙄

You know, not sure why it never hit me before. But watching just a few clips from this morning's hearing, it's clear the @splcenter is an EXTREMIST organization whose leadership DISCRIMINATES against others and foments violence against others based on nothing more than their IMMUTABLE characteristics. But, almost unbelievably, it actually creates FALSE FLAG "hate listings" because of the THREAT it perceives from those organizations and individuals in actually ending what the SPLC always said was its end-goal. The SPLC is EVERYTHING it claims to be against and more. It deserves the same fate as all the other Democrat armed ops like... KKK BLM ANTIFA SDS The Weathermen 100% on brand for the Party of Slavery - gotta keep that Hate Industrial Complex fed somehow. Otherwise it would just implode on its own.

I'm a Johnny-Come-Lately to the Hunter Biden ratio but I am 100% down for it!

Hey @Elon you're account reporting feature is wholly inadequate. It seeks to strictly limit the "impersonation" being reported to either me -OR- another X user, which it insists I name. I am trying to report a new Nigerian account apparently impersonating a US female soldier but there is LITERALLY no box I can check to indicate such. I tried to go a couple of different routes but no luck. THIS(!) is the account in question. @EvelynWillqf Your support folks need to account for this type of impersonation ASAP (it is the equivalent of Stolen Valor). Personally, I was temporarily fooled once last year by this type of account. You need to open up a "stolen valor" channel in your "report this account" function. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely Scott F Reardon a/k/a Mark Ratner

When I was a little kid I wondered why all the schools in TV programs (see below) all looked the same. It wasn't until my one and only, disastrous freshman year there that I realized nearly all of them were filmed at USC 🤣Room 222 Theme song and opening video with Karen Valentine youtu.be/pcaUluahdwM?si=-GjH… via @YouTube

And SMOOTH as a billiard table too!

It's not TRUE unless and until Generation Jones is properly recognized. 😉 We were the first to do battle with the Boomers...and we were doing it practically from the moment we could crawl. You want to find a GOOD Boomer, get to know a Vietnam veteran. I'm blessed to know a sh**-ton of them (Desert Storm and GWOT too).

I admit, it's sometimes difficult to keep up with which #MouthWhore is being pimped out by which Leftist billionaire and/or billionaire's ex wife. So, note to each #MouthWhore, if I've misidentified your billionaire or billionaire's-ex-wife pimp, please accept my sincerest apologies. It's difficult to keep up with which @MouthWhore is being pimped by which billionaire nowadays.
