And I especially want to congratulate Mrs. Paco on the anniversary of her naturalization as a U.S. citizen.

I really don't get national suicide

I imagine it must be a function of ignorance, moral decay, mass neurosis and toxic virtue signaling. "Labour Gov Begins End of ‘United Kingdom’"

The contagion is abroad in our Republic, as well. Let us resolve to fight this existential threat, using every means at hand.
