I suspect were you to ask someone, "What is an American?", you'd get worse answers than the people who don't know what a woman is.
I'd be happier with language nearer the original, a pledge based on attributes more immutable than nationality. I don't have the language to express this sentiment while also keeping with the current year America context.
I'm not clear how 'All Americans' would imply Albertans are included. I'd be happy to include many people, unfortunately more and more nationality is useless as a descriptor. Some sort of Ahnenpass would be necessary to only include Albertans with 7/8 Albertan great-grandparents.

It's a 25 point plan, you can't expect all of them to be winners. You'd have to not allow employers to a ask about family size.

You'd like a 25 point plan that outlines a positive vision for a unified nation under conservative principles?
No doubt though that doesn't really speak to our counter-intelligence capabilities. Perhaps if we had less recent history of CCP connected honeypots or chauffeurs I'd have more confidence in our screening abilities.
Absent confidence in our capabilities, I'm unbothered by a finer net with more bycatch.
AvocadoPanic

No, but I'd expect them to catch more bad actors while also increasing the the bycatch.

I don't think anyone is talking about excluding Chinese-Americans.
The topic was Chinese from China.
I don't expect us to have the determination to last over four centuries, we'll skip directly to the betrayal.
AvocadoPanic

Yes because they were part of the empire.
I'm not sure importing Chinese students really makes them part of the empire.
If we're looking to the Roman example how well did it work out with Arminius?

Were those empires successful in maintaining their empire with foreign brains?

Some non-zero number of 'Chinese students' are also Chinese spies or CCP operatives.
Do you object to the government excluding them?

It's not as if nation states invading a supply chain to make devices literally explode is unheard of.
Working in an industry that takes this sort or compromise seriously we have a list of countries we can't buy from. Sometimes even if it's a US based company but a particular model or production run of a product is from a 'wrong' location, we can't use it.
AvocadoPanic

Yes, certainly.
We are not about to send American boys 9 or 10,000 miles away from home to do what Asian boys ought to be doing for themselves.
I went to Germany, alot of the native men seemed like maybe they weren't into women and / or were kind of dirty and leftist.

Many men already look beyond the borders of the US to find a bride. I married in 2005, things were different then, but also the same.
I had to go to the old country to find a wife.

The execution of the Duc d’Enghien was used to further the proximate goal of deterring royalist opposition and consolidating Napoleon’s power, much like COVID data obfuscation was used to justify policies by amplifying risk-severity. Both achieved short-term goals—suppressing dissent or driving compliance.
Both are 'mistakes' that appear to have met their indended near-term goals? Nearly all current year politics eschews the long term.
While you quote an enduring witicism I have difficulty finding an error or fault resulting from defective judgment, deficient knowledge, or carelessness, a misconception or misunderstanding, in either. Traditional markers of mistakes.
That trust in institutions may now be diminished, is only a result of the 'mistake' if the trust had been warrented or well-placed before. The 'mistake' is that the public trusted them to begin with.
worse policy mistakes
Is it a 'mistake', if it's designed to obfuscate and mislead?
That the same bad actors then use their obfuscation for
justifying later (bad) policies on the basis of risk-severity
I have difficulty seeing these as 'mistakes'.
Wasn't there a rhyming obfuscation with the vaccinated? You did not count as vaccinated and dead unless you died > 2 weeks after your vaccination?

I'd thought Conchita Wurst had been more recent, but it was 2014.
Somehow last year and this year were gayer than the year a literal drag queen won.

It's as if the vast majority of the voters aren't interested in attractive women. The Austrian homosexual hapa won. Hazel had joke during one of the set changes about the prevalence of homosexuals at Eurovision.
Whose coverage did you watch? We watched on ARD. I miss Terry Wogan. Tried Graham Norton on the BBC after Wogan died, Eurovision is gay enough without the extra help.
My wife was surprised by the seeming overperformance of Isreal. In her experience the majority of European homosexuals are pro-Palistine.
My favorite were the Icelandic boys. I enjoyed seeing Baby Lasagna again, I still think he was robbed last year.

I can't speak to the demographics of the student population referenced in the article.
Speaking with my friend who teaches at the local community college the students he'd fail would overwhelmingly be from 'disadvantaged' or minority backgrounds and would lead to uncomfortable conversations. I suspect some form of this plays a role in many schools.

This is a not uncommon lament in current year.
This professor makes largely the same claims. https://hilariusbookbinder.substack.com/p/the-average-college-student-today
I've had a similar discussion with a professor at a local community college who sees it everyday.
There's some comfort in knowing to some degree this has been a forever problem On the Miseries of Teachers 1533, Philip Melanchthon.

My kids where their silk smoking jackets over their loose fitting non-retarded cotton sleepwear while smoking.
I've had very similar experience with friends, some from childhood; divorce, asymmetric undercut in unnatural colors, attempts at lesbianism and public online displays of mental health issues. I've had the same thoughts about reaching out but ultimately didn't think I'd be heard in a way that added value.
This is where I am, I like to think of it as being Mary, not Martha.
The opposite side of this we are now beginning to see in the online 'white well-being' posters. Some of this I think is just women being more influenced by their perceived peer groups.
