French pol wants US to give back Statue of Liberty: ‘You despise it’ - nypost.com/.../?utm_source=chatgpt.com


French politician Raphaël Glucksmann has called for the U. S. to return the Statue of Liberty, claiming that America has deviated from the values symbolized by the statue. He criticized the U. S. for aligning with tyrants and dismissing scientific freedom. The White House has firmly rejected this suggestion, emphasizing America’s historical role in defending freedom.

Personally, No – The Statue of Liberty was a gift, not a lease. It was given as a gesture of friendship and shared values during a time when both nations believed in liberty as a guiding principle. Even if our governments disagree on policy today, the statue stands for more than current politics—it’s a symbol of hope, welcome, and the potential for freedom. Returning it would feel more like erasing history than correcting course.
But I also get why some in France feel disillusioned. If the U. S. loses sight of the liberty it once stood for, then maybe the statue’s presence does ring hollow. That’s not a reason to send it back, though—it’s a reason to live up to what it represents.

hold up Japan and Germany were the most wicked nation ever because of Nanjing (unconfirmed death toll) but America deliberately nuked 200k people, rounded them up and put them in prison camps, and then experimented on minorities with vaccines contaminated with STDs (Tuskegee Trials)? and how could i forget about the fact the USA has occupied dozens of countries And continues to use the military as a threat, not many people would deny america is an empire

Ever since its founding, it has spread devastation and death, and the reasons for its establishment aren't exactly noble (i. e. a small group of extremely rich slave-owners didn't want to pay any tax), and at this time they're unconditionally supporting a genocidal apartheid regime intent on committing ethnic cleansing (Israel).

Anyway, the good news is that the current President is intent on destroying what's left of it, and alienating everyone else on Earth in the process. The evil empire is clearly crumbling. Let's just hope it doesn't take too many other nations down with it.

And, oh yes, accusations of "working for Russia", being a "Russian agent" or "loving Putin" will, of course, be laughed at and treated with the derision it deserves. Not liking a particular nation cannot, of course, be seen as constituting evidence for working for that nation's rivals, a mistake in (very basic) logic that all too many adults tend to make, especially in this paranoid age in which we live.

Yeah i know it depends on the country but if we average them, which one do you think is more dangerous? I always thought the middle east is pretty unsafe because of terrorism and oppression and stuff until I heard more about South America having a very high homicide rate. Personally, I just keep hearing more people having issues about Muslims being dangerous terrorists. Basically islamphobe people but South America is a Christian region while being one of the most dangerous and I don't hear people stereotype Christians as drug lords and gangsters. Maybe it's because I live in a Christian nation which is why they don't bring that up.

Do you really want to live in a society where

• Men are perceived as creeps for showing some persistence and face sexual harassment charges for giving "unwanted attention" or even looking at a woman the "wrong way"
• Critical race theory thrives... making certain identity groups victims while pinning blame on another
• Young Children in school are subjected to drag queens and tranny shit
• There is a two-tiered justice system where affiliating with an opposing political party results in surveillance and harsher punishments
• We must alter our speech to be less offensive and use proper pronouns or face termination from our jobs or prosecution
• Pay much more on essentials like food and rent
• Homeownership is hardly attainable for younger generations
• We must work two jobs and still hardly scrape by
• Illegal aliens pouring into the country at the taxpayers dime
• We give billions to other countries and foreign nationals while our own people and infrastructure struggle

Is this really worth it just to have a multi-racial female president as a DEI initiative? Please vote Trump and restore this nation.

There is no way in hell Kamalatoe is at an advantage. The entire administration is a failure!

We have the catastrophic disaster in TN/NC, where by the way, Trump was proactive in responding to this before Xiden or Kamaltoe was. I live near this. It is a catastrophe. News is FEMA is running out of funding already.

Next, we have the port strike.

Then, we have the 100+ missile launch at Israel from Iran.

We already have the influx of illegal aliens paid for at the taxpayers expense. We have the extremely high tensions both domestically and internationally. I have never seen the nation spiral down so badly.

11.6% of people in the U. S. lived BELOW the currently defined OFFICIAL poverty level

The official poverty line as currently defined is "three times the cost of a minimum diet in 1963" – meaning it's measured by how much families spent on food FIVE decades ago. The poverty line DOES NOT account for different regions costs of living.

The poverty line is used as a fundamental tool for people in poverty to receive almost ALL FEDERAL benefits such as housing, food stamps, tuition supplements, school lunches, public transportation subsidy, Medicaid, utility assistance & subsidized child care.

Congress hasn't raised the poverty line because they don't want to be responsible for statistically, but accurately, broadening the definition of poverty and increasing the number of Americans below the line by providing accurate data

Congress also hasn't updated the poverty line to reflect widely varying housing costs in different localities.

In 1963, the median household income covered about 34% of the typical home price. By 2022, this percentage had decreased to just 17%, indicating that home prices have grown more than twice as fast as wages over this period.

Congress has not changed the poverty level baseline because that could be viewed as UNFAIR to people living in a few regions with the lowest housing costs, mainly the rural South & Midwest.

To some fanfare, Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign today launched Republicans for Harris, which will kick off with events this week in the swing states of Arizona, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. Their goal, campaign officials told Zeke Miller of the Associated Press, is to make it easier for Republican voters put off by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump to back Democratic presidential nominee Harris. Curiously, though, in their embrace of the nation’s growing democratic coalition, Republicans crossing the aisle in 2024 are returning to their party’s origins.

The Republican Party itself began as a coalition that came together to stand against an oligarchy whose leaders were explicit about their determination to overthrow democracy. As wealth had accumulated in the hands of a small group of elite southern enslavers, those men had turned against American democracy. “I repudiate, as ridiculously absurd, that much-lauded but nowhere accredited dogma of Mr. Jefferson, that ‘all men are created equal,’” South Carolina senator James Henry Hammond said.

When Democrats tried to call those coming together as Republicans “radicals,” rising politician Abraham Lincoln turned the tables by standing firm on the Declaration of Independence. “[Y]ou say you are conservative—eminently conservative—while we are revolutionary, destructive, or something of the sort,” he said, addressing the Democrats who remained determined to base the United States in enslavement.

“What is conservatism? Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against the new and untried? We stick to, contend for, the identical old policy on the point in controversy which was adopted by ‘our fathers who framed the Government under which we live’; while you with one accord…spit upon that old policy, and insist upon substituting something new…. Not one of all your various plans can show a precedent or an advocate in the century within which our Government originated.”

Also how important to you is it that the president respects the laws that help keep people safe, and shows care and respect to the nations veterans and families even the ones that die at war because their loved one (s) served in the United States military?

If you choose to support someone that doesn't respect the oath of office, and actively supports people that have disturbed, even raided, trashed and attacked people in our nation's capital, the united states symbol of democracy What is your reasoning?
