Geography, as in individual states aren't the problem.


Human beings exist and thrive because of geography.


The infusion of certain personalities are the spoon in the kettle that stirs the bubbling gruel.


That said, people should be open to hearing new ideas, mending fences, and learning new things.


For example, Teamsters President Sean O'Brien and former President Trump are to be commended in their efforts to form new ties between former adversaries.


Citizens of our great nation should work towards healing, over howling.


Some of my Native American ancestors the Pottawatamis and the Comanches worked with Caucasian pioneers to create a peace and eventually a treaty.

Watch Sean O'Brien's full speech at the RNC




Teamsters president Sean O'Brien took the podium at the Republican National Convention on Monday to talk about how work against big business brought him to address the GOP gathering.

[h2]What to know about Sean O'Brien[/h2]

In 2022, O'Brien was elected the president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, one of the largest and most influential labor unions in the U.S., with 1.3 million members.

O'Brien is perhaps most widely known for his high-profile encounter with U.S. Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-OK, in a 2023 labor committee hearing, when the two skirted physical confrontation over social media posts O'Brien had made about Mullin.

The Teamsters have not endorsed a presidential candidate and O'Brien is also scheduled to speak at the Democratic National Convention in August. He's rallied alongside left-wing Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-VT, in the past.

Former President Donald Trump announced in a post on Truth Social that he had invited O'Brien to speak. A Teamsters spokesperson told The Hill that a Teamsters president has never addressed the RNC before.
