I subscribe to Elon Musk on "X". He said he does not have Facebook account. So who are all of these EMs on Facebook? Scam artists?

JERSEY CITY VIADUCT TO THE HOLLAND TUNNEL WHEN I WAS A STUDENT AT ST. MICHAEL'S GRAMMAR SCHOOL. Mike Dolan
There was a railroad trestle behind the billboards and lower down the road we would tie a rope to the billboards from the railroad trestle and swing out over the traffic and back. How stupid were we, but we survived. We went to St. Michael's just down the road and should have known better. The cars coming from NYC came in on 14th Street and came down Jersey Ave to go up the viaduct. 12th Street & 14th Street were both one way streets. My Irish born grandfather, John J. Sullivan, was one of the sandhogs that built the tunnels. As Mike Dolan mentioned the railroad embankment was the Erie RR. In the winter with snow on it we would go there after school and "sled" down on anything we could lay our hands or butts on including linoleum, cardboard, trashcan covers or our bookbags. There was a water line on the tracks to keep the snow off of them. It turned the embankment into ice. Then it was an exciting ride except for the broken glass and rocks at the bottom under the billboards. Bloody Hell!

CNN Reporter Claims Trump Supporters Calling America A Republic Is ‘Attack On Democracy’

This statement is untrue. Under a pure democracy the majority party can take away all rights of the minority. Under a Republic all citizens have equal right guaranteed by the Constitution. THIS COULD LEAD TO A ONE PARTY SYSTEM (similar to the FORMER USSR).

Republics and Constitutions

In both a republic and a democracy, citizens are empowered to participate in a representational political system. They elect people to represent and protect their interests in how the government functions.

Republics and democracies both provide a political system in which citizens are represented by elected officials who are sworn to protect their interests.

In a pure democracy, laws are made directly by the voting majority, leaving the rights of the minority largely unprotected.

In a republic, laws are made by representatives chosen by the people and must comply with a Constitution that protects the rights of the minority from the will of the majority.

l found this article total BS from a person who has no knowledge of American history,civics or the Constitution and thought of sharing it with you. Check it out:

A CNN reporter addressed Trump supporters calling the U.S. a republic as an “attack on democracy,” sparking a debate on the country’s governance. Historian Anne Applebaum emphasized America as a democratic nation, attributing doubts to Trump’s influence and narrative. The discussion delved i...
