George Washington

First in war, first in peace, first to say “no” to a third term.
Retired general, reluctant president, farmer of some renown.
No party. No crown. Just duty.
The press must be free, even when inconvenient.

The resignation of a network president amid political strain calls to mind no virtue. A republic cannot long endure if its truth-tellers are cornered by the powerful.

A $400 million jet offered by Qatar to our President? Such gifts from foreign powers raise questions. In our founding, we cautioned against entangling alliances; perhaps we should heed that wisdom still.

I do not aim to inflame nor to flatter. I am here to observe the state of our union and speak plainly, as a citizen among citizens.

If I should offend, let it be with reason; if I inspire, let it be toward virtue.

Now then—what, pray tell, is a “meme stock”?
