Lol. Shapiro is completely delusional. Look around at reality as it is, not how you wish it to be, dude.

"#Pennsylvania Gov. #JoshShapiro, a #Democrat, said his #Jewish faith will not stand in the way of his political future and pushed back against suggestions it could be a liability amid rising #antisemitism and anti-#Israel sentiment.

In an #interview on #CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, #Shapiro declined to address speculation about a possible 2028 presidential run, saying instead that he remains focused on governing Pennsylvania.

“What I have found in my years of service in government is that the public wants you to be who you are,” the #governor said. “Let them know what motivates you to serve and why you do this work.”

"#CNN anchor #ElexMichaelson raised eyebrows this week with his closing comment moderating a panel discussion on possible contenders in the 2028 #DemocraticParty presidential primary, offering his take on what might differentiate Sen. #JonOssoff (D-GA) from #Pennsylvania Gov. #JoshShapiro (D) – how #Jewish they “read” to voters.

As the Tuesday evening conversation wound down, panelist and YouTuber #EricMessersmith argued, “But on the Jewish thing, because he is Jewish, he might be the #Democrat that can thread the needle. Because even though he’s Jewish, he’s very critical of the #Israeli government, very critical of #BenjaminNetanyahu. He has credibility on that issue. So it’s possible—I think he could fill that lane in between the two extremes of the #DemocraticParty.”

#Michaelson then wrapped up the discussion, “Yeah, as a #Jew, some people read a little more Jewish than other people, and John Ossoff may not read as Jewish as Josh Shapiro does[...]"

Happy *real* Independence Day for American Pedants! Delegates from 12 colonies voted in favor of independence on 2 July 1776. (New York abstained from the vote, but for some reason they still get a stripe on the flag, smh.) Then the "Americans" published their Declaration on July 4.

Despite the name "Continental Congress," a bunch of Britain's American colonies weren't represented at the meeting: Nova Scotia, Barbados, Newfoundland, Quebec (British since 1763), Jamaica, the Bahamas, Belize, and others. Would they have supported fighting for independence too?
