Noem Rides High for National Cowboy Day
Secretary Kristi Noem
@Sec_Noem 3h
Patriotism. Courage. Professionalism. We are so proud of our @CBP horse patrol every day, and especially today on National Cowboy Day
On National Cowboy Day, Governor Kristi Noem stood tall in honoring the unsung heroes of our borders—the brave men and women of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Horse Patrol. With unyielding patriotism, she praised their courage, professionalism, and tireless dedication amidst a crisis at our southern border that continues to spiral out of control. While others turn a blind eye, these horseback patriots embody the true American spirit, defending our nation mile by mile, rein by rein. Governor Noem’s words resonate as a rallying cry for the values we hold dear: faith, duty, and unwavering love for country.

Henry Louis "H.L." Mencken (1880)September 12, 2025
Often regarded as one of the most influential American writers of the early 20th century, Mencken was a journalist, satirist, social critic, and cynic known as the "Sage of Baltimore," for the city where he lived his entire life. Perhaps best remembered for his satirical reporting on the Scopes evolution trial, which he dubbed the "Monkey trial," Mencken was frequently critical of myriad institutions. Why did the Arkansas legislature pass a motion in 1931 to pray for Mencken's soul? Discuss

Festival of St. Nichiren's Pardon
At the Botamochi Temple in Kamakura, Japan, this festival honors St. Nichiren (1222-1282), considered to be Japan's most fervent Buddhist priest. He was exiled to the island of Sado in the Sea of Japan in 1271. After four years there, he returned and spent the rest of his life on Mount Minobu. The Festival of Nichiren's Pardon is observed by members of the Nichiren sect with massive demonstrations and the loud chanting of prayers attributed to Nichiren, accompanied by the beating of drums. People make offerings of botamochi, rice balls covered with sweet bean paste, in his honor. Discuss
