Meme
From Wikipedia
Memes spread through the behavior that they generate in their hosts. Memes that propagate less prolifically may become extinct, while others may survive, spread, and (for better or for worse) mutate. Memes that replicate most effectively enjoy more success, and some may replicate effectively even when they prove to be detrimental to the welfare of their hosts.
Meme
From Wikipedia
The word meme itself is a neologism coined by Richard Dawkins, originating from his 1976 book The Selfish Gene. Dawkins's own position is somewhat ambiguous. He welcomed N. K. Humphrey's suggestion that "memes should be considered as living structures, not just metaphorically", and proposed to regard memes as "physically residing in the brain". Although Dawkins said his original intentions had been simpler, he approved Humphrey's opinion and he endorsed Susan Blackmore's 1999 project to give a scientific theory of memes, complete with predictions and empirical support.

'I am Trump in high heels': Rep. Nancy Mace seeks Trump endorsement at town hall
LAUREN PELLER
Thu, August 7, 2025 at 1:10 PM PDT
During a town hall event, Republican Rep. Nancy Mace compared herself to President Donald Trump and requested he endorse her for South Carolina's governor -- a race where there is already a crowded slate of five candidates.
In Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Mace encountered a friendly crowd at her first town hall since launching her bid for governor and called on them to have Trump -- and his supporters -- back her.
"I'm just saying I've done a lot for the president, and if you talk to him, I would really like his support for governor," she said Wednesday during her first stop on her so-called "Mother of All Town Halls" tour.
Mace is one of several Republicans who have already thrown their hats into the ring for the state's top job. Attorney General Alan Wilson, Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette and Rep. Ralph Norman have also announced their campaigns.
Mace outlined her campaign promises, urging the audience to support her run to lead the state. She also likened herself to Trump, who is popular in the state after winning it in his 2016, 2020 and 2024 presidential runs.
WPDE - PHOTO: Rep. Nancy Mace speaks a town hall, Aug. 6, 2025, in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
"I want to take what's broken in South Carolina, and I want to burn it down to the ground and build it right back up, right where it needs to be, because you've earned it. You deserve it, and you deserve someone who's going to work 24/7. I don't sleep. I went to bed at 1 a.m., and I was up at 4 a.m. OK, I am Trump in high heels. I love what I am doing. I mean, he doesn't sleep," she said.
Trump enthusiastically backed Mace for Congress in 2024 after she endorsed him in the state's presidential primary. Their support for each other was a change after an earlier clash. One day after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, Mace said Trump's "entire legacy" was "wiped out" by the siege. Later, during the 2022 midterms, Trump called Mace "terrible" and a letdown.
Trump has not yet publicly commented on Mace's recent request for his endorsement.
As governor, Mace said child rapists would get the death penalty, eliciting a loud applause from the crowd. She said businesses who employ "illegal aliens" will be fined $1,000 a day, and hopes to bring down the state income tax.
The congresswoman repeatedly brought up her work to ban transgender women from using facilities on federal properties, such as bathrooms and locker rooms.
"We're going to stop that in South Carolina, because on day one, if you give me a bathroom bill -- state legislature, I will sign it into law. We're going to keep men out of women's spaces," she said.
Mace also recounted how she helped get Mike Johnson elected as speaker of the House by getting Trump on the phone with remaining Republican holdouts.
"When there's one guy in the room that can bring all of us together, I witnessed it, and that man was Donald J. Trump, so I was there for him when we got the speaker elected."
Mace engaged with an agreeable crowd during the short question-and-answer portion, during which topics including the Department of Government Efficiency, fluoride in water and Trump's promise to provide a tax credit on generators were raised.
Pressed by an audience member about Trump's promise to provide a tax credit on generators for individuals who live in dangerous or coastal communities following the floods, Mace said, "I can absolutely remind him."

Mace said she hopes "like hell" DOGE is "on its way" to South Carolina, claiming she has helped DOGE find "some of these crazy contracts" that DOGE claims are wasteful.
"We've got to audit some of our agencies, particularly the Department of Education. I want to know where all the money is going, and can we take some of it out of the bureaucracy and give it to our teachers?" she said.

The congresswoman said she would support "any action to remove fluoride from our water and also ban chemtrails," the widely debunked conspiracy theory that claims the white lines from aircraft are releasing chemicals -- including for nefarious reasons.
Her friendly town hall came at a time when many other members of Congress are facing hostile crowd at rowdy events. Earlier this week, a town hall crowd shouted at and heckled Republican Rep. Mike Flood as he touted Trump's massive policy and tax bill that was signed into law in July.

Remarks at the Signing Ceremony for the Balkan Peace Agreement in Paris
December 14, 1995
President Chirac, President Izetbegovic, President Tudjman, President Milosevic, Secretary-General Boutros-Ghali, Secretary General Solana, High Representative Bildt, Prime Minister Filali, Prime Minister Chernomyrdin, Prime Minister Major, Prime Minister Gonzalez, Chancellor Kohl: Let me begin, on behalf of the people of the United States, by thanking all of those whose labor and wisdom helped to keep hope alive during the long, dark years of war, the humanitarian relief workers, the United Nations forces from Europe and beyond. Had it not been for their dedication and their sacrifice, the toll of the war in Bosnia would have been even greater.
And I thank those whose work helped make this moment of peace possible, beginning with our host, Prime Minister Chirac, for his vigor and determination; Prime Minister Major, who was a full partner in the development of the rapid reaction force and our NATO cooperation; and our friend Chancellor Kohl, who has taken so many of the refugees and who now is sending German troops beyond his border in this historic common endeavor. I thank the leaders of the strong NATO and the determined negotiating team of Russians, Europeans, and Americans.
All of you have brought us to this bright new day, when Bosnia turns from the horror of war to the promise of peace. President Izetbegovic, President Tudjman, President Milosevic, by making peace you have answered the call of your people. You have heard them say, "Stop the war. End the suffering. Give our children the blessings of a normal life."
In this chorus for peace today we also hear the hallowed voices of the victims, the children whose playgrounds were shelled into killing fields, the young girls brutalized by rape, the men shot down in mass graves, those who starved in the camps, those who died in battle, the millions taken from their homes and torn from their families. Even from beyond the grave there are victims singing the song of peace today. May their voices be in our minds and our hearts forever.

After nearly 4 years of 250,000 people killed, 2 million refugees, atrocities that have appalled people all over the world, the people of Bosnia finally have a chance to turn from the horror of war to the promise of peace.

Bill Clinton's Draft Letter
GOV CLINTON (November 23, 1991)
Bill Clinton's Draft Letter: On December 3rd, 1969, Bill Clinton, then in his second year as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University in England, wrote a letter to Colonel Eugene Holmes, who headed up the Reserve Officer Training Corps program at the University of Arkansas. Here is the full text of the letter.
"Dear Colonel Holmes,
I am sorry to be so long in writing. I know I promised to let you hear from me at least once a month, and from now on you will, but I have had to have some time to think about this first letter. Almost daily since my return to England I have thought about writing, about what I want to and ought to say. First, I want to thank you, not just for saving me from the draft, but for being so kind and decent to me last summer, when I was as low as I have ever been. One thing which made the bond we struck in good faith somewhat palatable to me was my high regard for you personally. In retrospect, it seems that the admiration might not have been mutual had you known a little more about me, about my political beliefs and activities. At least you might have thought me more fit for the draft than for ROTC. Let me try to explain.
