🚨#BREAKING: A German soccer fan who flew to the USA but was fearful about coming because of news about criminals and people being mean...

...breaks down into TEARS, live on air saying he has FALLEN IN LOVE with America after a random man named "Bob" in Boston gave him a ride home after he was stuck at a game with no way back to his hotel

The German soccer fan's name is Sebastian, he said after meeting Bob, he extended his entire trip.

He said leaving America will hurt worse than watching Germany get knocked out of the World Cup.

"I fall in love with America. I'm sorry, it's just so emotional. Americans are not rude... if we are together, we can achieve great things."

THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

🇺🇸 AMAZING! Japan just did a whole FIREWORKS SHOW celebrating America’s birthday today, as it’s now July 4 in Tokyo

This is what a REAL ally looks like.

Unlike most of our European “allies”

God bless America, and God bless Japan! 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵

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.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

Fans at UFC 250 acted with class.

They proudly sang O Canada for Aiemann Zahabi.

Meanwhile, the “Elbows Up” crowd at the FIFA World Cup game in Toronto booed the U.S. anthem.

One side acted petty.

The other showed respect.

That says a lot. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Bingo.

There you go. The United States is built on a limitless ethos of entrepreneurship, innovation, and excellence. Canada is built on feminized and "empathetic" parasitic taxation fuelled by envy and resentment toward those who produce.

[Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧 @TRobinsonNewEra]

So the Sudanese invader who tried to behead the man in Belfast was a former police man from a prominent family.

Why was he "seeking asylum" in Britain then?

How was he able to move freely through Europe?

So many questions.

We want answers!

Pierre Poilievre held emergency meeting 🇨🇦 in a full-blown affordability crisis.

Groceries are brutal.

Rent is brutal.

Mortgages are brutal.

Carney promised to make 🇨🇦 the most affordable country on earth.

Instead, he somehow made Trudeau look financially responsible.

Gad Saad isn’t being dramatic.

Stage 5 suicidal empathy looks like:

🇨🇦 Only G20 nation in recession

🇨🇦 Workers sleeping in Highway 401 parking lots

🇨🇦 $120B in foreign aid while seniors can’t afford groceries

🇨🇦 200,000 TFW while 1.5M Canadians sit unemployed

He’s describing the receipts. 🇨🇦

Gad Saad thinks Canada is in Stage 5 of suicidal empathy because it's a country that's a collection of all the most dreadful ideas: open border policies, non-meritocracy, socialism, narcissism, laziness, & greed.

He is not optimistic about the country's future.

[Shazi @ShaziGoalie]

Canada now has full-time workers living in Highway 401 carpool parking lots.

They're not unemployed. They're not refusing to work. They're working, showering, sleeping in trailers, and hoping to save enough for first and last month's rent.

Meanwhile politicians celebrate population growth, record housing targets, and labour shortages.

The reality is working Canadians are being priced out of their own country.

[Mario Zelaya @mario4thenorth]

60% of all outstanding mortgages renew before end of 2026.

The Bank of Canada’s report:

-9% of Toronto mortgage holders can’t qualify to refinance in 2027

-If prices fall another 10%: 12% in Toronto, 7% nationally

-Payment shock at renewal: 15-20% increases for 5 yr fixed holders

-Most affected: families who bought in 2022-23 at peak prices and sub-2% rates

And while these families are trapped, $22 billion in Carney/Ford federal HST rebates is flowing to investors buying their tenth condo.

This is all a part of their plan.
