Well done, Senator Cruz! Keep it up!!

That’s like saying that you were created by your birth certificate.
she wrote “created” but she seems to mean “formally recognized.”
however, the thought still seems a bit off, since it seems to infer that the united states owes its existence to the largess of other countries instead of through its own efforts by way of a successful revolution against england.
a sovereign nation can come into being, but other countries still need to recognize it in order for the process to be entirely formalized. before the treaty of paris and other parallel treaties signed at the same time by united states’ allies, the existence of the united states had not been legally recognized by any countries, thus (i think) they were technically still british subjects until the treaty was signed.
(note: i am not a historian, so there is a considerable chance that i may have missed something.)
And for those that say America is not a Christian nation, I like to point to the title of the Treaty of Paris. The bold heading says “In the Name of the Most Holy & Undivided Trinity”.
Femisium occurs at the peak of every civilization and then comes the dark ages because so many important positions are populated by stupid people whose only claim to be in that position is their sex, not their achievement or wisdom.
One of her critics said her statement that one does not become a nation without international recognition was like declaring that someone was not born until a birth certificate was issued.
Actually she is of the ilk of leftist who would want life predicated on government approval.
This professor would be a good guest for Tucker Carlson to have on his show.
I wonder if that is in any way a history class? I imagine her lectures are basically: "Here is why America sucks".
Most classes with "studies" in the title are pure propaganda with no attempt at being fact-based.
