@COLLEGEFBONLY Please stop these weird graphics. Seriously hurts the brain and eyes

[CB @2238SF]

@SkylarSkye3 Yes but the stereotypes exist. England = crap food; Italy, France, Spain = amazing food; Germany = no clue.

@gwilkie80 @Brett_McMurphy @On3 People are expecting Texas tech to just plug in new players and be as good as last year. Might happen but not likely. They’ll be good but the gap has closed.

@jackson5payne Cool but we seem to have a glut of 6’5 to 6’8 guys. Mix in a few 6’10+ dudes pls.

Elon Musk just said the one thing about America they made sure you’d never learn.

The one thing that should’ve made you proud, not ashamed.

Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”

One nation held a weapon no civilization had ever possessed.

Total monopoly on destruction. No rival. No consequence. No limit.

Every empire in history that held that kind of power did the only thing empires know how to do.

They took until there was nothing left to take.

America had a greater advantage than all of them combined.

And rebuilt the nations it just defeated.

Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”

Not almost unprecedented.

It had never happened. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded civilization.

The nation with the power to take everything chose to rebuild instead.

Enemies became allies. Rubble became economies. Surrender became partnership.

Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a single generation.

Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.

Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.

Into the capital of the country that just tried to end the free world.

That decision reshaped every economy, every alliance, and every trade route on the planet.

Billions of people lifted out of poverty over the next half century trace back to one moment. One nation choosing restraint over domination.

No other country in history can make that claim. Not one.

Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”

Every nation on earth has blood in its history.

But the measure of a nation was never its worst chapter.

It’s what it does when nobody can stop it.

When nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.

You’re being told every day that this country is something to be ashamed of.

By people who have no idea what the world looks like without it.

Every free market. Every open border for trade. Every democracy that took root outside Europe stands in the shadow of that single decision.

The values that built this country didn’t just shape America.

They shaped the modern world.

AI is about to hand a small number of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look primitive.

1945 was the first test.

AI is the last.

That power is going to exist. The only question left is who holds it.

The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.

It was having the power to take everything and choosing not to.

The people trying hardest to tear that story down have never built a single thing worth defending.

To the Americans:

I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.

And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:

You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.

This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.

Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.

This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.

But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.

This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.

And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:

Thank God for the United States.

Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.

Long may your admirable country dominate the world.

Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.

May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.

Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.

Thank God for the USA.

Happy 250th.

A German soccer fan is brought to tears over how nice he’s been treated in America

He says he was afraid to come to America for the FIFA World Cup because European media portrays America as dangerous. He’s spent weeks in America and can’t believe how it’s the exact opposite

“I fall in love with this country, and this was so emotional. I even cried in the stadium”

“Following the German soccer team from Houston to Boston. Sebastian was afraid of coming over, saying that the news in Europe painted a picture of America being dangerous. But at every stop, from the moment he landed, he says everyone has treated him with kindness and respect and has not felt unsafe.”

“Americans are not rude. Germans are not rude. If we are together, we can achieve great things”

The media is the enemy of the people and it seems to be true everywhere

I looked into data and found the real problem

90%+ of the mainstream media in America is Left leaning

And in Europe, over 80%+ of their mainstream media is Left leaning

That’s the problem right there. Liberals are destroying societies with their control of the media

@JaredW67913667 @TBM_JY @TBM_Steve I’m sure the ACC would love the B1G taking those schools off their hands. It’s such a cluster.

[CB @2238SF]

@JWMediaDC Click bait. I’m kinda sick of this crap.

[CB @2238SF]

@Utah_AM Utah and their dozens of fans are just butt hurt that they aren’t relevant in the XII.

[CB @2238SF]

@Utah_AM Any serious college sports, in particular CFB, fan gets nauseous reading about super conferences. Because it means the destruction of CFB as we know it. We already have the NFL. We don’t need NFL light.

@WhittsBurner Both are good QBs but in a milkshake eating contest give me Bear. I say settle it on the field this year!

[CB @2238SF]

@HigherEdAD @Genetics56 I actually think NC State could fit in perfectly. They will compete with Rutgers and Maryland for the easy W on the east coast swing

[CB @2238SF]

@GourdieReport Congress doesn’t need the B1G and SEC to pass this bill. Sure it would be great to have them support it. But as we all know, those 2 conferences want all the advantages at the expense of every other conference and college football in general. They couldn’t care less.

[CB @2238SF]

@TerribleMaps It’s big 10 territory. Liberal BS.

[CB @2238SF]

@Hitchslap1 It��s only democrats that do this and it’s obvious for votes. They worry more about power than people. Only a fool thinks otherwise.
