Inviting a bunch of strangers into your home to eat your kids’ food and sleep in their bed doesn’t make you a good neighbor, it makes you a bad parent.
The same is true for governments who allow unvetted migrants flood their borders.
It’s the toxic empathy that feels good for a short time from a distance but hurts in the long run and up close.
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.

The leftist mind cannot comprehend that Europeans might simply be enjoying America. Or worse yet red states.
There is simply no way the mainstream media narrative surrounding flyover country could be this easily shattered, by Europeans of all people.
THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE PROGRESSIVE! No, they must be “pandering” to the idiots who live there.
Talk about mental gymnastics.
If the point of social media is to connect humanity, then the chronicles of Old World tourists enjoying the unsung parts of the U.S. are social media at its full potential.
World Cup X is as good as it gets, and yet many are fuming.
Their disdain for this moment is further proof that the leftist mind’s ground state is misery, and that should they once again rule over us more misery will be the result.
Because if they can’t find joy in German soccer bros marveling at a Buc-ees in Bumfuck, Texas, I seriously doubt they can find it anywhere.
And people like that should not be in charge of the greatest country in the world.
Patient: I don't see PAs. I already have a PA in the family, so why would I pay for the care a PA can offer?
Like sure thing, chief. Good luck with that.
@RNSuperHero I rarely/never order them, but I love gentamycin for an antibiotic and ampho B for antifungal and I work in nephro. Idk why, I should hate them. Maybe since my husband is good to me, I'm looking to meet my toxic relationship quota somewhere else.
@cadence_doc @TaxiForSchwab @DrCanuckMD We have limited organs to transplant, and so we must give them people who are least likely to get infections, i.e., are protected by vaccines as much as possible. That includes people whose families are less likely to pass on germs that could kill an immunosuppressed patient.
Meanwhile, the hospital CEO w with a C / C- level education who more than likely holds a “executive management certificate or weekend MBA” but beautifully kisses the asses of board members/ trustees has w a golden parachute and pulls in between 1 and 3 million.
Feel free to quote me.
Doctors at a major US insurance company deny tens of thousands of claims a month without even looking at patients’ files.
“We literally click & submit,” a former Cigna doctor told @ProPublica & @Capitol_Forum. “It takes all of 10 seconds to do 50 at a time.”
