It’s finally here—#MAGAWeek2019! It’s the week of the year that we celebrate our great country’s birth, and I honor it with a daily post about a person, place, or idea that has, in its own way, made America great.
I’m writing this week’s posts from New Jersey, where I’m spending a week with my girlfriend’s family. Contrary to my expectations, the entire State is not a dystopian, concrete-encrusted urban hellscape. Its nickname, the “Garden State,” is apt: it’s quite lush, and there are horses—horses! It feels like South Carolina with less humidity and more crime and corruption.
The rest of this week’s post will be more historical in tone and content, but since I spent eleven hours on the road yesterday, I thought I’d pay tribute to a much-maligned, oft-misunderstand industry that has made America great: fast food.

[…] “Fast Food” – After a long day on the road last Sunday, I decided to do something fun and lighthearted to kick off #MAGAWeek2019. President Trump famously loves fast food, even feeding it to the Clemsux National Championship football team in vast quantities. I, too, appreciate good fast food, and marvel at its ability to provide a filling, calorie-rich meal at an affordable price.
