You're hero doesn't even realize he is talking to an apostate non pope.

Blind as can be. Same with pelosi, kennedy, biden.

HIGH LEADERSHIP* you are depraved, BLIND, and many, across world treasonously are loyal to one world gvt, not your country.

5 men, leaders of African, Caribbean counties died after resisting Covid / pfizerplot …while many rulers committed NUREMBERG CODE VIOLATIONS. PUNISHMENT, IF GUILTY, DEATH.

These 5 won't be forgotten, heroes

This is the right tone for American diplomacy: humble, serious, rooted, and unapologetically civilizational. Rubio understands that foreign policy is not just summits and cables. It is representation. What do we show the world about ourselves? The Diplomatic Reception Rooms answer with craftsmanship, history, virtue, and excellence—not ideology, apology, or fashionable ugliness. The most powerful line is the connection between American diplomacy and American workers. If our State Department celebrates American furniture while our trade policy destroyed American furniture makers, something went wrong. America First diplomacy means restoring that harmony: beauty, industry, sovereignty, and the common good.

Get rid of Lobbyists and NGO’s and political non profits. No more foreign money going to any elected Congress member. Let’s also get term limits installed. Get rid of federal judges and take away their immunity so they can be held to account for allowing criminals to go free. It’s time to get this country back to the way it was intended to be governed. No interpretation of the constitution. The words mean what they say and how they are written. The answers are easy if you make the questions simple.

Subject: Heritage as a Compass for Future Diplomacy.

As we approach the 250th anniversary of the United States, Secretary Rubio’s reflection on the diplomatic reception rooms of the State Department serves as a vital reminder that the permanence of a nation is rooted in its foundational values and the depth of its historical alliances.

History teaches us that the consolidation of a state relies on the sacrifice and selflessness of those who built its institutions. For those of us observing from the Kingdom of Morocco, this heritage resonates with a unique historical truth. It was in 1777 that Sultan Sidi Mohammed ben Abdallah issued the first formal recognition of American independence, an act of strategic vision and profound friendship that predates the formal Treaty of Marrakesh of 1786.

Today, as new leadership at the State Department navigates an era of hybrid warfare and multimodal threats, this "diplomatic infrastructure" must be more than a museum of the past. It must serve as a sanctuary for the principles of loyalty and mutual recognition. The stability of our international order depends on our ability to recognize these shared values—values of abnegation and perseverance that have sustained the longest unbroken treaty in U.S. history.

True diplomacy is the art of honoring our founding friends while securing the future of our respective sovereignties.

Respectfully,

Jamal Bouamama.

President of the Security Parallel Diplomacy Commission.

Moroccan Federation for Parallel Diplomacy (FMDP).

Thank you for sharing your love for the United States and its history to be one of a kind nation that began with the faith of our forefathers. It is beautifully written and poignant as well as factual.

Thank you for this history of America, & our wonderful Republic, & to the American craftsmen & women who built strong, beautiful furniture, as well as the homemade, hand sewn quilts, blankets, & clothes for the new America! God Bless America...

Beautiful reflection of our country’s foundation. I recognize the face of the clock in the photo from my own upbringing. My dad appreciated (and still does) antiques made in our country.

The US Constitution is 7,500 words.

You could read it in under an hour.

He apparently couldn't be bothered. Or more likely can't read.

I’m hoping a staffer wrote this, as it’s an unbelievable waste of time for an SOS to spend time writing articles about room decorations. Especially given our current state of affairs.

Washington to Jefferson:

“Hey, Tom! You know we’re probably heading to a war with the King, right? Don’t you think you should go out and work on raising and funding an army or something important? Let one of your staffers write this declaration thingee you’ve been working on. We’ll just check it and sign it once it’s done.”

Maybe if our current modern government focused on the needs of its people rather than the penchant of foreign influence where we expend our lives and dollars fighting non existent threats I would be a little more forgiving as our SOS blathers on about Franklins furry hat. When we fund the bombing of thousands of women and children under the guise of national security we have totally lost our righteousness and sense of purpose. Spare us the bullshit.

I am gobsmacked by your wisdom and erudition, Ubetcha. Just kidding. Actually, by your unwarranted self-assurance.

This article was an excellent perspective in the evolution of diplomatic communications at a crucial period of democracy evolution by the Author. In 1768, John Hawkins was ostracized and removed from from "The Club" for his verbal abuse of Edmund Burke. Consider yourself the same with those who value civil discourse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Club_(dining_club)
