Stephen Miller is arguing against the very concept of America, a country that in my lifetime is the most diverse it has ever been
America in my lifetime is also the most prosperous and advanced any collection of people has ever been in history because of immigration, in spite of Miller and his ilk.

She's wrong on two counts. First, it was the DGSE, not GIGN. Second, they were targeting the ship the Rainbow Warrior II, which I assume she just happened to be on.
Candace Owens is claiming that France’s elite counterterrorism unit GIGN (along with, conveniently, one Israeli operative) has been tasked with her assassination.

Additionally, hippos - despite being massive - have almost no fat on them. All of that impressive bulk is muscle.
2% body fat. Compare that to Elephants, which are around 8-10%, or rhinos, which are 10-20%.
The average human is around 20-40%, for reference.
They're *all* muscle.

Say what you will, but at least these people have the actual ambition to take risks and follow their conviction of living closer to nature.
And a good reminder that sometimes lacking ambition is not entirely a bad thing.

This show is great, every episode is like "I am 73 years old and dependent on a CPAP machine. I moved to the middle of Blood Bear Death Ravine, seven thousand miles from the nearest generator. I am morally opposed to hunting and farming, and my budget is $16.34. Please send help." 10/10, no notes.

To the extent my country is exceptional it is because we are a country of all people and none. The world made manifest. A nation of nations. A people united in truly radical ideas of freedom, equality, and justice for all. Any attempt to undo this is treason and also seeks to make us ordinary.

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.
One of the bragging rights that the US ed system had in the 20th century is that we didn't have education tracks. Essentially, any kid could go to a CC or state school & major in whatever they wanted to (obviously an oversimplification). I fear this aspect of the American dream is dying.

As somewhat of a Niponophile (that's Japan lover to all you gaijin on here) I enjoy this most honourable country's esoteric cinema, like that of Akira Kurosawa (you probably wouldn't get him don't even try) and Hayao Miyazaki (think of him as the Michael Bay of drawing cartoons),
