New Federal EV Fee Could Cost Owners More Than Twice the Average Gas Tax New Study Forecasts How Softened Tariffs Will Affect Car Prices As a smaller package to Lincoln's bigger Aviator and Navigator the $51,890 Nautilus plays alongside many rivals in the 2-row midsize luxury SUV segment The 2025 model year marks a bold redesign for Lincoln’s Chinese-made SUV but behind its sleek looks is a vehicle designed to deliver passengers more comfort and technology Though it is more akin to a family hauler than a high-performance sports car the new Nautilus is a compelling choice among many in this competitive segment the Nautilus has a 2-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder that makes 250 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque For those who want more power and better efficiency Lincoln also offers the Nautilus with a hybrid powertrain that combines the same motor with a 100kW electric motor for a total output of 310 horsepower The hybrid also delivers improved fuel economy with an EPA-estimated 30 miles per gallon in the city compared to an EPA-estimated 21 miles per gallon city 29 highway and 24 combined with the standard gas engine Front-wheel drive is standard with optional all-wheel-drive while hybrids get all-wheel drive standard But while the Nautilus may be efficient under the hood its strongest suit is what it offers inside the cabin The standout feature of the 2025 Nautilus’s interior is a massive 48-inch panoramic digital display that stretches from one end of the dashboard to the other it integrates Lincoln’s latest infotainment software featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa with the digital gauges into a seamless interface akin to an expensive curved gaming monitor Optional extras include a Revel Ultima 3D audio system and a head-up display but over 100 cubic feet of generous passenger space comes standard the rear cargo area offers 36.4 cubic feet of space expanding to 71.3 cubic feet with the rear seats folded; more than enough for Costco and IKEA runs of all types While the Nautilus may not be the sportiest option in its class, it tries to deliver a frills-free and cushy ride with available features like adaptive suspension and Ford's own BlueCruise hands-free driving system The result is an SUV that prioritizes ease and a lower MSRP may be tempted to see the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus as a genuine option buyers may sway to other cars in this segment from South Korea and Japan that also offer aggressive styling Lincoln may be a Ford product, but don't be fooled into thinking that this sloped-back Genesis GV70 is some sort of fancified Hyundai Tucson wearing a fancy tuxedo the Genesis starts at a lower MSRP of $46,200 around the similar starting point of the Lincoln Nautilus and a surround view monitor on top of unique features like a fingerprint authenticator The GV70 comes standard with a 300 horsepower turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four cylinder with the option to move up to a 375 horsepower twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 in higher trims All GV70s come standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission connected to an all-wheel drive drivetrain The EPA rates the four-banger GV70 at 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway while the V6 slightly reduces highway fuel economy achieving 19 mpg city and 24 mpg on the highway While one may be tempted with its interior pleasing-to-the-touch materials that compliment its many advanced features it falls short when it comes to raw passenger space compared to the Lincoln It provides less rear legroom (37.2 inches in the GV70 its 28.9 cubic feet of rear cargo room with the seats up falls short of the 36.4 in the Lincoln For 2025, the boffins at Honda's luxury division, Acura have given a stylish new look to the MDX's exterior and a more refined interior and in its place is a 12.3-inch touchscreen with built-in Google Assistant The $51,200 MDX comes standard with a a 290-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 connected to a 10-speed automatic transmission it can be optioned with Acura's Super-Handling All Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) as well as a 355 horsepower Turbocharged 3-liter V6 in the top-trim MDX Type S 3.5-liter V6 MDX models at 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway while the all wheel drive MDX with the same engine gets 19 mpg city and 25 highway While the MDX can deliver sports-sedan handling and a 5.5-second 0-60 mph time with its most powerful motor it is the only SUV on this list that features a third row it provides ample room for passengers and cargo Compared to the Lincoln's 39.8 inches of headroom and 43.1 inches of legroom the Acura falls a bit short at 38.1 inches and 38.5 inches in its second row the Acura unlocks a total of 48.4 cubic inches of cargo room over the the 36.4 in the Lincoln There are reasons to why the Lexus RX has been the top-selling mid-size luxury SUV for 26 consecutive years. Though it is a five-seater that makes for a more comfortable, quiet boulevard and highway cruiser than a face-ripping backroad blaster, at $50,475, it is a compelling package for many buyers. The RX comes standard with a 275-horsepower, 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-four cylinder connected to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Like the Lincoln, the Lexus comes standard with front-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive can be ticked as an option. The EPA rates the RX350 at 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway while the AWD version gets 21 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. The Lincoln Nautilus may provide more space and more compelling features than some of the choices listed above. But for the money, this competitive segment offers wildly different choices providing different specialites behind each nameplate; whether it be the ultra-premium feel of the Genesis, the sports-sedan handling and optional HiPo-output from the Acura, or the security of being behind one of the most trusted luxury marques in the market. However, the only correct choice is your choice. So if you're thinking about buying the Lincoln Nautilus, drive before you decide and you might have something cool and different on your driveway.

In a new video, an actor walks to a piano near the Vivian Beaumont Theatre to play the iconic opening chords from the musical. The video ends with text that states "Something's Beginning." The video is captioned "This is the music…," which led to a multitude of comments hoping the post teases an upcoming revival of the classic musical at Lincoln Center. The new tease follows the recent New York City Center production, which starred Joshua Henry, Nichelle Lewis, Caissie Levy, Brandon Uranowitz, Shaina Taub, and more. This sweeping, powerful musical adaptation of E.L.

Dave Christ, head of the Toyota division in America told Automotive News “The first couple days in April was a frenzy It could be we pulled forward all the business that was there because that frenzied pace is not a frenzy anymore.” With a claimed consumer slow-down to more normal levels coupled with the yet-to-be-seen full effects of auto tariffs it wouldn’t be surprising if 2025 balances out to near-normal or below-normal new vehicle sales on the whole meaning if you’re looking to buy a new car soon it’s not a bad idea to hop on non-tariff-impacted inventory now as affordability may be changing Launching a new EV on an 800-volt architecture is fantastic, because it means really fast charging times on a 350 kW charger. However, Wards Auto reports that in certain markets the new Mercedes-Benz CLA EV only has an 800-volt architecture most older DC fast chargers are based around a 400-volt architecture as kW in DC is equal to amps times voltage divided by 1,000 and running higher amperage is how Tesla optimizes their 400-volt DC fast chargers Most vehicles with 800-volt architectures use DC-to-DC voltage boosters or split battery pack strategies to work with 400-volt fast chargers but that’s not what’s happening with the electric CLA in Germany as the CLA configurator in those markets displays the following warning: Please note that charging at 400V charging stations is not possible they are not shown in the navigation system Unsurprisingly, this new has resulted in mixed reactions on social media, with posters in the German Elektroautos subreddit raising some good points Some note that 400-volt stations are rare around them while some raise the good point that the CLA is an entry-level EV for Mercedes-Benz and this limitation in charging station compatibility could sharpen the EV learning curve for those coming from combustion-powered cars 800-volt-compatible DC fast chargers will be the universal minimum so it’s quite possible Mercedes-Benz jumped the gun with the CLA EV equipment specifications in European markets don’t necessarily translate to North America; it would be a miss if the eventual U.S.-market model doesn’t offer compatibility with older chargers with consumers already stretched on new vehicle pricing now’s a good time to bring some affordable trims back into the mix a base-model half-ton pickup truck with alloy wheels and body-color trim For $44,495 including freight for a quad-cab or $47,245 for a crew cab and enough monochromatic trim to look like a more expensive truck than it is and the two big ones to watch out for are four-wheel-drive and the 420-horsepower Hurricane turbocharged inline-six The former is a $2,095 option and the latter adds $1,695 to the price tag and I’d expect most in-stock models to feature at least four-wheel-drive paired with the $995 Black Express package it seems in the right price bracket to compete with the similar-in-spirit Ford F-150 STX and it’s the sort of trim Ram needs after the rapid Trimflation of the Carlos Tavares era The Jeep Gladiator pickup truck is one of those vehicles that’s not objectively great at anything The bed isn’t as practical as you get on a Tacoma or Colorado it’s not as capable off-road as a Wrangler since it’s so dang long and it’s no longer available with a manual transmission yet there’s something fun about a convertible pickup truck Unfortunately, if you want to make a fun choice and go with a Gladiator, you might want to do so soon. The Detroit News reports that the south plant in the Toledo complex the line on which Jeep’s truck is built the firm is looking to “align parts inventory with demand,” which makes sense considering leftover 2024 model year Gladiators are still on dealer lots into the second quarter of 2025 It’s the latest in several Stellantis production pauses and it’s likely to have a brief but noticeable effect on suppliers While some may be building up parts supply Did you think about buying a car last month Google News MSN News Apple News+ Thomas, you’re a gem and I, for one, particularly appreciate how much you’ve written about Miatas this calendar year so far. Happy birthday and many more, preferably here at this site! Yep. Pulled the trigger on a Maverick hybrid AWD with the 4k tow package. My Kia Niro has served well, but at 120,000 miles it’s out of warranty and starting to show some quirks. Plus it’s not really up to towing even my very light Crosley hobby car. The Mav can do tow, has close to similar fuel economy, and this particular dealership provides a free 20-year, 200k mile warranty on the powertrain. With Ford’s employee pricing response to the stupid tariff war, this was the best time to buy. “Liquor stores do record business as prohibition approaches!” Seeing those prices next to the words “base model pick-up truck” had me actually contorting my face in disgust I thought about buying a new Tacoma or Colorado as my needs for a truck have been increasing, but looking at our budget decided on a 20 year old Avalanche instead. It’s ugly as hell, but it’s very cool and it makes me smile. Keep the Pilot. Its not that old, is a Honda so it will be reliable. The economy is about to turn into a nightmare so I would not be trading in or selling almost-new vehicles anytime soon. Literally speaking, any birthday beyond 25 is going to be closer to 30 than 20 and that will be true for the rest of your life, so you didn’t narrow the range much. Anyway, happy whatever birthday! I’m one of those guilty of panic-buying. Didn’t want to wait to see if the tariffs would change, so I leased a car several months earlier than expected. Don’t regret it one bit tho, as seven years is a looong time in EV development. I get it. I’m old. Approaching 50 swiftly, but you can’t convince me that a budget pickup truck is $45k. I’ll bite at $30k maybe. Obviously I can’t wrap my head around $100k trucks either. It boggles my mind. Naw shit. I felt the same way. Approaching 48 myself and I recall when trucks were the cheap option. $45,000 for a fucking base model truck????? “Remember the Ram 1500 Express, a base-model half-ton pickup truck with alloy wheels and body-color trim? ” If it has alloy wheels and painted trim, it’s not a true base-model pickup truck. “Did you think about buying a car last month,” I have actually been thinking of when I will buy my next vehicle as my daughter will need a vehicle at some point soon after she graduates next year. I already discussed with her that it might make sense to just buy my C-Max as it’s an affordable vehicle that is practical and cheap to insure. But that’s something that won’t happen before next year. So I have been thinking what I would likely get. Unless some major changes happen, I will be looking at non-American vehicles because, as Trump said, “Canada has nothing the USA needs”… My avoidance of American products will continue as long as the current gang of Republicans are running the show in the USA. So the leading vehicles up for consideration will likely be the Prius Prime, Kia EV6 Hyundai Ioniq 5 and maybe even the Dodge Charger EV (Since Stellantis isn’t an American company and on top of that, the Charger is built in Canada). I may make an exception for a vehicle made by an American company that is built in Canada I can’t wait to use “sharpen the learning curve” as a synonym for screwing someone over. I purchased a new vehicle just before the election, mostly because I was getting tired of dealing with the Kia service dept near me. The RAV4 Prime is possibly worth more than I paid, but I do not want to be shopping again. I might sell it while the market’s hot if some great deal comes along that leaves cash in my pocket, but that’s the only way I even consider buying right now. Regarding the closer to 30 than 20, that puts you that much closer to using the Master Shake line “I am 30 or 40 years old and do not need this!” Personally, I’m slightly closer to 50 than to 30, so I have to consider retiring that line soon. In short, many of these consumers would’ve bought cars this year anyway, so sales in April could have effectively stolen from later months. similarly, there may be a lot of low mileage lease returns when people start getting laid off and can no longer afford any monthly payment the used market will be higher than before but also full of desirable cars looking to maximize value see also: home exercise equipment and appliances You mean building a massive HQ building based on high short term sales as an exercise bike company may be a bad idea? I was really confused by the comment about being closer to 30 than 20 given that I know Matt is over 30, then I realized Matt didn’t write this today and it made more sense. Happy Birthday! Yeah, for a second I thought to myself “Man, Matt looks rough for under 30″. Happy birthday Thomas! Probably a mix of slight panic and relatively good discounted and cheap or free financing. The Lincoln buyer is unique pretty much seems to be older people with money they were probably laying in wait for the car market to come to sanity and now all jumping on it. Sometimes think about a new vehicle, also think about winning the lottery. That said, neither purchase (vehicle or lottery ticket) is on the horizon. 2005 Tacoma is just getting broken in at 200K miles and 2017 Prius is happy as well. Newer vehicles have more things to break and are more expensive to repair when they inevitably break. A new car is rarely a sound financial decision, even with the included warranty covering mantenance costs for the first few years My Tacoma is going to git the big 3-0 next year. If you take care of them they are almost a “lifetime” vehicle. Unless you live where they salt the roads. Then they’ll just rust. I was definitely looking at a Chevy Trax or Buick Envista as my first new car to replace my Cruze but even as affordable as they are it just didn’t financially make sense for me to make that move at this time. Thankfully parts for the little red Chevy have been relatively cheap when it needs em and so far and it’s been decently reliable for a small town used car-lot “sorry we don’t have any maintenance records or history” purchase © 2025 The Autopian.

According to Russell S. Rein, field secretary of the Lincoln Highway Association (LHA), you can use the map on the association’s website to retrace the route and even track whether you’re on its first Rein says driving the Lincoln Highway offers a look at how automotive travel evolved over the decades Funding and logistics impacted the original 1913 route Department of Transportation didn’t exist at that time Fisher turned to auto manufacturers and affiliated industries cutting a new road through the country didn’t make sense so Fisher and his newly formed LHA connected existing roads through as many major cities as possible to create a transcontinental route Paint-marked telephone poles let drivers know they were on the new Lincoln Highway, but little else immediately changed. The LHA’s 1916 Official Road Guide called the journey “something of a sporting proposition” and estimated it would take a “pleasure party” about 20-30 days to make the trip from coast to coast they might face rockslides going through mountain passes or get stuck in the mud and have to wait for a horsedrawn wagon to pull them out manager of visitor services at the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor in Pennsylvania travelers had to properly equip themselves with supplies like a shovel for digging out of mud The Official Road Guide also encouraged them to take camp supplies like a 5-gallon milk can for water and Vaseline for gun maintenance and burns the highway could be likened to having your own private jet after flying commercial They could suddenly travel whenever they wanted and could get to their destination in less time as the highway improved He didn’t just want a coast-to-coast highway but an improved one that encouraged people to drive To showcase what interstate highways could be the LHA created “seedling miles” by donating cement to communities and asking them to pave their section adding features like electric lights and roadside art to their paved example the difference between paved and unpaved was obvious Fisher hoped that once drivers experienced concrete roads they’d fund similar construction in their communities The LHA had a slogan for the plan: “Great oaks from little acorns grow; long roads of concrete from seedling miles will spring.” and it quickly earned its nickname Main Street of America for two reasons the highway went through many towns on their main road But the Lincoln Highway also served as the nation’s literal Main Street connecting towns and cities in the same way a community’s main road connected essentials like the store and doctor’s office While many took the Lincoln Highway to get from one coast to the other or to visit one of the newly formed national parks they were just as likely to pack a picnic and go for a Sunday drive Eisenhower didn’t fall into any of these categories crossed the nation on the Lincoln Highway as part of a military convoy Rein says the Army wanted to demonstrate how improved roads could help move men and equipment more efficiently “I’m sure that inspired Eisenhower to have an interstate system when he was president,” he continues Before Eisenhower signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act 1956 an association of state highway and transportation departments adopted a numbered highway system to replace named ones in 1926 but the numbered highways didn’t always correspond to existing named highways As a result the Lincoln Highway became US 30 through the Midwest and US 40 US 50 and other numbered highways elsewhere So drivers could still follow the Lincoln Highway its highway association created 3,000 concrete markers and asked local Boy Scout Troops to place them because the original Lincoln Highway didn’t perfectly align with the new numbered highways Rein believes that replacing the Lincoln Highway with numbered highways and rerouting portions of it led to the the highway’s decline faster-moving highways such as the Pennsylvania Turnpike the Lincoln Highway had begun seeing less traffic As the Lincoln Highway faded into the background of numbered highways, Route 66 rose to prominence and has remained there for the last 100 years (The so-called Mother Road celebrates its centennial in 2026.) Simpson credits the early 1960s TV show Route 66 and the iconic Chuck Berry song “(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66,” with its popularity adding that Route 66 is also a little easier to navigate today That doesn’t mean it isn’t worth the effort to experience the Lincoln Highway a member of the LHA board of directors representing Nebraska encourages people to get off the interstate and explore the Lincoln Highway “It’s a two-lane road that takes you through rural America,” she says “You’re going through a small town every seven to ten miles past cafes and post offices and historic buildings.” She points to Lincoln Highway-era sights visitors can see while taking the route through Nebraska as examples: a seedling mile in Grand Island a gift shop with a fort-like facade in North Platte a giant covered wagon pulled by statuesque oxen in Kearney and a brick-paved road that is listed in the National Register of Historic Places in Elkhorn Motorists today can also see the painted telephone poles and concrete markers drivers once followed across the nation on the Lincoln Highway driving the highway is driving through time and he encourages everyone to experience it It drives past unique sights like the coffee pot in Pennsylvania and attractions along the Lincoln Highway have fallen into disrepair and been torn down have fallen victim to fire and other disasters “Why do I want to convince our visitors to see the Lincoln Highway?” he asks referring to the people who visit the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor’s museum in Latrobe Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" Sign In Register Julian Rodarte has a new home — and it comes with Versace plates The Dallas-born chef and restaurateur has officially joined Dee Lincoln Concepts as Culinary Director.

supports Children’s National Hospital The Van Metre 5K Run donates 100% of proceeds to Children’s National Hospital and has SALEM — Elected officials from the local state and federal level and Republican party leaders came together at the Timberlanes Complex in Salem Friday night for the annual Lincoln Day Dinner “What I say to every company that comes in to see me is if you want do business in Ohio build and be additive to our communities we’re going to welcome you with open arms But if you’re coming into Ohio to break apart out companies destroy our industries and pillage our communities you will not only not be welcome here –we will chase you out of here like a dog,” said Senator Bernie Moreno Columbiana County Republican Party Chairman Dave Johnson welcomed the attendees joking that the annual dinner was a Republican town hall in reference to a group of protesters outside the venue calling for U.S Johnson described the annual dinner as an opportunity for the party to celebrate all the elected officials donors and volunteers that make up the Republican Party He introduced all the officials and volunteers in attendance Johnson also championed the renewal of the 1% county sales tax on the ballot for Tuesday’s primary election noting that 70% of the county’s budget went directly to funding the sheriff’s office which would face budget cuts if voters chose not to renew the tax “The only person who benefits from that are the criminals,” said Johnson The event featured remarks from both Rulli Rulli also championed the work and dedication of Moreno who he served with during their tenures as Ohio state representatives calling him “one of the best senators this country has ever produced.” Moreno asked attendees to consider “what really happened on November 5” when President Donald Trump was elected calling it “a revolution of common sense.” “We have gone past the point of Republican Issues or Democrat issues to what is just common sense Does it make sense to raise government spending from $4.5 trillion dollars which is what the budget was the last year of President Trump to $7.3 trillion which was the last year of Joe Biden’s [presidency] think about that number,” said Rulli Rulli attributed the “inflation at generationally high levels” experienced in recent years to that increased spending He also suggested that energy production and its link to climate change were another “common sense issue.” “You can be a tree hugger and say climate change is an existential threat Is it better to produce energy here in America What’s better for the planet?” asked Moreno imagine these lunatics wanting to shut down our energy production and have it all happen in China You’re going to see dramatically worse results for the planet; that’s not anything other than common sense.” Moreno urged those in attendance to go out and speak with people they usually would not noting that many people are simply uninformed “Your homework tonight is to go out and talk to some of the people; now not the people across the street protesting [representative] Rulli … you’ve got to go out and talk to people you otherwise wouldn’t talk to and I know that social media makes us want to be angry but part of it is they just don’t have the data,” said Rulli “I find if you give them the information they crumble like that they’re watching MSNBC; heaven forbid they’re reading the Cleveland Plain Dealer You’ve got to go to them and approach them from that angle.” Moreno said that what “has really separated America from any other country on earth” was the existence of a “thriving growing and prosperous middle class,” noting that rich and poor alike exist in countries the world over He said that it was that middle class which built the country “into a powerhouse unlike anything ever seen in world history.” He also suggested that the growth of China’s economy came at the expense of the American middle class Defending Trump’s economic policy and tariffs the United States government signed the U.S which set the stage for China to have most-favored nation trading status with the United States and allowed them to enter the World Trade Organization At that point in time China’s [gross domestic product] was 1.2 trillion dollars per year Next year they’ll hit $20 trillion dollars — $1 trillion to $20 trillion in 25 years who paid the price?” asked Rulli “I don’t have to ask all of you If you’re in Richmond County you know who paid the price If drive through Mahoning County you know who paid the price If you’re in Trumbull County you know who paid the price.” Moreno concluded by saying that the thing which drives him in his daily work is the story a Rich Olson a 59-year-old man who worked at the Mead Paper Factory in Chillicothe and shut down by a Miami based private equity company “He spent his entire career working where his dad and his grandfather worked could go on vacation and was looking forward to retiring in a couple years knowing he had lived a good life,” said Rulli he was at home on a rare day off and gets a text message from a friend of his that they’re shutting the place down immediately No future for him or the 863 other people that work in his community.” He said that the job of elected officials is to make “have the back” of people like Rich Olson He said that rather than following “apparatus that [officials] normally rely on” to focus on job retraining programs and expand employment benefits in the area he approached the company directly with an ultimatum “I said to this private equity company you have two choices Option one you give me time to find you a buyer for this factory which means you agree to keep this thing going until the end of the year and someone will come in and operate this business for another 200 years I will use every tool of the federal government to chase you and your family for generations and as a result we’re going to find a buyer for

own family’s journey through America’s complicated past, Maryland Governor Wes Moore delivered a powerful message to Lincoln University’s Class of 2025—one about true patriotism and the shoulders we stand on Moore—Maryland’s first Black governor and only the third Black person ever elected governor of any U.S state—wove personal narrative into national purpose urging graduates to embrace a more nuanced vision of what it means to love one’s country At the heart of Moore’s address was the remarkable story of his grandfather, Reverend Doctor James Thomas, a Lincoln University graduate whose journey from “American exile to American patriot” formed the emotional backbone of his message “My grandfather was born in South Carolina the child of Jamaican immigrants new to the United States,” Moore told the graduates he and his parents fled back to Jamaica—chased away by the Ku Klux Klan.” This early trauma—being rejected by his country because of something “that should have been a source of pride not prejudice”—didn’t extinguish James Thomas’s love for America While most of Moore’s extended family vowed never to return to the United States ‘This country would be incomplete without me!'” Moore recalled Delivering the speech at his grandfather’s alma mater made the moment even more personal Moore was shown artifacts from his grandfather’s time at Lincoln—his transcript “I get emotional when I think about that moment of standing in the same spaces that he did,” Moore shared with ESSENCE in an interview after the speech “It serves as an important reminder of what he had to endure… his earliest memories in life were watching this country reject him.” this family history isn’t just a personal story but a powerful lens through which to understand our collective national journey “that in this moment when people are watching what is happening to so many communities when people are watching an assault on our history and an assault on our livelihood I think people also are learning and will continue to learn that we don’t flinch because we’re just built differently.” Moore outlined what he called three lessons he learned about patriotism in his commencement address that challenge simplistic notions of national identity: 1.Patriotism is never passive: “Your love of country will always be tested—in ways both big and small Patriotism is a responsibility of a lifetime.” 2.Loving your country doesn’t mean believing it’s perfect: “Being an American has always come with struggle and sacrifice.” 3.Skepticism about your country is justified: “Loving your country doesn’t mean lying about its history But you should always keep skepticism as your companion noting that patriots “are people who are willing to sacrifice their today for a better tomorrow for others.” He emphasized that patriots understand the “unevenness about this country’s history” without concluding that America is “irredeemable.” Moore positioned today’s America as divided between false extremes: “those who use patriotism as a club to beat others… and those who feel ashamed to bear the flag,” and between “those who think loving America means hating half the people in it…and those who allow cynicism about our nation’s history to obscure their aspirations.” “leaves no room for someone like my grandfather” or for himself—”a boy who felt handcuffs on his wrists when he was just eleven years old because I grew up in a community that was overpoliced… but who now stands before you as the 63rd governor of my state.” The governor challenged the graduating class to embrace a more nuanced perspective: “The hard part is being honest about our flaws—and courageous in addressing them.” Moore drew powerful parallels between Lincoln University’s founding in 1854 during a period of intense national discord “Lincoln was built for a moment like this because it was built in a moment like this,” he told the graduates highlighting how the university was founded at a time when “our nation’s fabric was being tested… and it wasn’t entirely clear if we would end up a true This historical context frames Moore’s call for graduates to be engaged citizens in our current moment of division “I am here today not just because Lincoln University is one of the premier institutions of higher learning in this country,” he said “but because I would not be here without you This school created a way for me… because you created a way for James Thomas Moore emphasized the importance of recognizing patriots in all their diversity He specifically highlighted graduates of different backgrounds including international student Valerie Ottutu from Nigeria who graduated with a computer science degree and secured a position at a Fortune 500 company But she came to the United States because she knew this country would be incomplete without her!” Moore declared in his speech When asked about the importance of highlighting immigrants as patriots “People are too easy to bastardize this term patriotism… The thing I wanted to highlight is that when we talk about patriots my grandfather was maybe the greatest patriot that I’ve ever met.” Moore concluded his address with a powerful charge to the graduates: “Live in such a way… that when you hand off this country to the next generation… your descendants will say back… ‘They understood the assignment.’ That is the most patriotic thing that you can do.” He elaborated on this “assignment” for today’s graduates entering a divided America: “I’m asking them to lean in and I’m asking them to truly be patriots… not in this faux definition of the word A patriot is someone who understands this country’s history but doesn’t use that as an excuse to lean out but they use it as a motivation to lean in.” “I want them to be a part of history,” Moore said of the graduates “I want them to put their fingerprints on a better future this country is incomplete without them.” Despite speculation about a possible presidential run in 2028 Moore told ESSENCE he remains firmly focused on addressing current challenges “Anybody who is spending their time positioning themselves for 2028 is not taking 2025 seriously,” he said firmly “I’m seeing federal workers who are my folks getting laid off I’m seeing how our economy is getting thrown into the wind with these random tariff policies.” The governor emphasized his commitment to his current role: “I’m very focused on making sure that in this time of crisis and in this time of chaos the people of my state know they have a fighter as their governor and they have someone who meets chaos with calm and meets chaos with resolve.” Moore’s message delivered a vision of patriotism that is active honest and inclusive—one that honors the past while committing to a better future you are the living custodians of our nation’s past and the architects of its present,” Moore said “And the relationship you build with this country will help determine our future.”
