1. Shouldn't there be some actual, demonstrable results, before starting to celebrate?

Or is she just way too deep in her own fantasist mentality to see, read and hear what's going on, all around the country?

and his cult start celebrating, and M$M turns up the foghorn on it all. Celebrating things that aren't real, and lies, and non-results is what that family does., and the M$M is right there to give it all creedance.

10. It has degraded the English language.

I would say that is a huge accomplishment in itself.

I feel like I'm living in the Twilight Zone. Imagine if Michelle Obama had tried something similar. Imagine the racist outcry about illiterates occupying the White House.

I beg you, everyone, stop calling this "Be Best". Call it "Be [Your] Best" or "Be [The] Best" or "Be Best (sic)". "Be Best" is not English. You are committing a grammatical crime every time you quote this illiterate woman who has become an American citizen but has not bothered to learn the English language.

12. Please, please edit your title to call it "Be Best (sic)".

"Be the Best" or "Be Your Best" or "Be Better" are English, but "Be Best" is not English. We should not be teaching children that a superlative can be used without a determiner. Please don't allow these illiterates to destroy our beautiful language.

Every time any DUer quotes this ridiculous and hypocritical non-initiative, we should call it "Be Best (sic)" to avoid contributing to the degradation of the English language.
