   This sounds like Nobel Peace Prize behavior, am I right? 🤦♂️

     Making #ManifestDestiny a Mistake Again

     John Gast’s allegorical painting, “American Progress,” may have had humble origins, but his flamboyant tableau of Manifest Destiny had real impact in spurring the country’s westward expansion in the late 19th century.

     Its symbolism still resonates… Earlier this summer, the DHS posted an image of the painting on social media under the heading, “A Heritage to be proud of, a Homeland worth Defending.”

     @davidaugust The Nobel War Prize, on the other hand, has several serious contenders.
