Sometimes we forget America is the beautiful as visiting World Cup soccer fans have reminded us thanks to the power of social media.
There are always going to be a few spoilsports.
Seriously?

I'm convinced Democrats and the Liberal Left absolutely despise for America do be great. They hate the USA. Seeing all of the foreigners visiting the USA for the World Cup was great.
The Politico article titled “Democrats grapple uncomfortably with World Cup success” lists examples of Democrats praising the World Cup’s success. Mr. Wren’s main issue seems to be that they aren’t “praising the authorities who put on the event”, and then he gives an example of a Philadelphia Democrat doing exactly that. How…. Interesting.
This is great but can we discuss the Supreme Court ending our country a few days before our 250th birthday? Basically, they told us that we don't get to have a country and these borders are just for defining tax zones.
Because they're losers in their own lives.
America the modern version of Ancient Rome
Beijing Olympics had the same effect for China.
Calm down, 1:16, SCOTUS just interpreted the law as written. It’s up to Congress to take action so that rules catch up to current conditions. If they don’t, then yes we are screwed, but it will be on Congress, not SCOTUS.
Do you mean the Supreme Court upholding centuries of legal precedent that we inherited from the British legal system, the larger context of the Fourteenth Amendment as debated in Congress, not to mention what has been interpreted as the meaning of said amendment since it was ratified? Furthermore, even though he did dissent, Justice Gorsuch did suggest in the closing paragraph of his opinion that there may be parts of the executive order that did clash with the law as written. This conservative is proud that the Supreme Court has preserved and conserved the rule of law in this case just in time for our 250th birthday. And on the contrary, if the Executive can run roughshod over our laws, then that will be the ending of our country. Happy 250, here is to 250 more!
I'm not really sure what they're trying to say here? I'm guessing the Trump administration had little to nothing to do with host cities prepping for or administering the World Cup, and the vast majority of cities who are hosting are run by democratic administrations. Why can't success just be good for the country without the political posturing.
Thank you 1:50 pm, well said. I was headed that way, although probably not as eloquently as you did it, when I ran upon your response.
These fools that think everything they read on TS or hear out of his mouth is an absolute fail to realize that true conservatives are supporters of the rule of law, not of man. Whether one "likes" birthright citizenship in today's world is not the question. If it should be changed the proper way is for Congress to address it through an Amendment to our sacred 250 year old constitution. Not for a court to do so. We have railed against activist judges who have tried to write the laws rather than read them, but now when we have judges who perform their function properly, some are railing against them because they won't rewrite the law from the bench.
As a good, lifelong conservative, I support Justice Scalia's comments that any judge who always likes his opinions is not making good decisions.
Justice Kavanaugh's concurrence is the roadmap for Congress to follow
Oh please. It was always going to be a tough case to win. The language in the amendment is pretty plain. Yes, we all know why it was written but what matters is the plain language, which is pretty unambiguous. Congress can fix some of the problem. Government can still ban illegal immigration and deport.
While Burke clung to tradition he was not belligerent to change. Burke opposed aliens and sought cautious naturalization.
I truly doubt those who debated and voted upon the 14th amendment remotely foresaw the rampant abuse and outright corruption of birthright citizenship as we've experienced over the past 50+ years.
Enjoy your tradition even when it produces our national undoing.
I have enjoyed reading what the visitors have posted. Its been so much fun seeing things through their eyes. Glad they are having a great time.
@You say MAMdani, I say MamDANI
I once heard it said that “disappointment and frustration with the legislative process does not create a judicial right to relief.” We have a process in place to change the Constitution. It is not the responsibility of the Executive nor the Judiciary to legislate, it is the responsibility of the Legislative Branch. If one believes that the way the Fourteenth Amendment is written will be disastrous for the nation, then one must change the Fourteenth Amendment through the process laid out by the Constitution. Burke was indeed not belligerent to change, but he was very belligerent to radical change as per his writings in Reflections on the Revolution in France. Civil society rests on inherited convention and legislative, judicial, and executive power are built on constitutional order.
I'm a Democrat and am happy the World Cup is doing well. Most people around the world admire much about our country. Most think Trump is a disaster. It is that simple.
lol 90% of the compliments were Europoors posting tiktok clips about how everywhere is air conditioned and the enormous portion sizes of our food. It could be taken as mocking the average, sweaty American fatass
I live in Thomastown MS & some few yrs back there was an English couple eating lunch @ Ms Dee's cafe here. I heard them say they had never heard of Pecan Pie & I bought them some. I then asked the man if he wanted to do some things he couldn't do at home? He asked like what? So, we went to my house & I got my grand dad's old .30 Carbine out & we fired a couple hundred rounds off down by the creek. I swear that boy had a permanent smile on his face! It saddens me to think that now he could be jailed if his government found out about it. We are so Blessed to live here!
Europe can’t even pay for their own defense. They freeload off the United States. They are dead beats
It could be taken as mocking ...
By whom? You?
I’m a libertarian and I disagree with republicans 50% of the time and democrats 100% of the time
It was immigration of the German tribes that destroyed rome
No one wants to join the military like in the past because of woke policies. Why would anyone want to fight for a country that’s gone woke
Civil society rests on inherited convention and legislative, judicial, and executive power are built on constitutional order.
The left doesn't believe in any of that shit and runs roughshod over every conservative who believes as you do.
If the Eurofans were not poor before they came, they will be when they get home. Spending a grande per day takes a toll. I spent under $5/day when I backpacked through most of Europe.
I'm convinced you need to touch grass
Holy false dichotomy Batman!
If you are looking for Edmund Burke's actual thoughts on collective action and responsibility, he expressed a concept regarding the necessity of association against wrongdoers in his 1770 work, Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents: "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, in an unpitied sacrifice, in a contemptible struggle."
Oh, and no one in America gives a shit about soccer.
@5:10 - I give a shit about soccer, but I guess not everyone can be a sports guy. Enjoy the internet.
Behold the power of artificial intelligence! 5:10, who had never heard of Edmund Burke, used Ai to craft a response about him in order to leave an insult about soccer. He apparently is one of those mouth breathers who worships the medieval sport of American football, in which most of the participants’ “athletic ability” consists of being obese.

Which makes it doubly worse when supposed fellow members of the right do the same. It is the undoing of a nation when this happens.

I wholeheartedly agree. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lack of good men in this day and age and evil is prevalent on all sides. To quote Alexander Solzhenitsyn, “If only it were so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?”
Futbol haters are non-athletic imbeciles. I've participated in eight sports, from swimming to snow skiing to soccer and have respect and a keen, intense interest in the World Cup every 4 years, as do many Americans.
Air conditioning is a life/death requirement in the south. People die from the heat. See tragic news report that happened Saturday. https://www.wlbt.com/2026/07/01/heat-death-83-year-old-woman-prompts-warning-husband-doctor/
The evil that is prevalent on all sides today, is being identified more than at any other time in history. And when they are cut out, it will be Biblical. Might be next month, or 20+ years from now - but it's coming.
I'm sure that's what you're hearing, in your Senior Men's Sunday School class, and while listening to late night AM Radio "podcasts". More likely, are the incessant TV ads showing horribly-mutilated soldiers - while begging for money, to help them. Even a slow child will wonder why the government isn't providing that money - when it seems able to throw money at everything else (including importing hordes of undesirables - many of which are being recruited into the military - providing further incentive for Americans to NOT join. Kids don't care about "Woke" (no matter how many panderers tell you about the Charlie-Kirk-style "Faith Surge" among the young).
