I have too many hobbies.

[Dr Jordan B Peterson @jordanbpeterson]

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

This is my politics. As long as the majority of people choose to keep the commandments, we will be protected. When the majority chooses iniquity, “then is the time that judgements of God will come upon you… with great destruction…”

Any party or politician or bill or movement, etc. that goes against the commandments of God must be strongly opposed. The very survival of our nation depends on this.

Mosiah 29: 26 Now it is not common that the voice of the people desireth anything contrary to that which is right; but it is common for the lesser part of the people to desire that which is not right; therefore this shall ye observe and make it your law—to do your business by the voice of the people.

27 And if the time comes that the voice of the people doth choose iniquity, then is the time that the judgments of God will come upon you; yea, then is the time he will visit you with great destruction even as he has hitherto visited this land

If the world is going to speak less of Him, who is going to speak more of Him? We are. We speak of Christ.

The year is 1987 and President Dieter F. Uchtdorf is chief pilot of Lufthansa and serving as a stake president.

The Frankfurt Temple was set to be dedicated and President Uchtdorf was asked to give an interview on German national television for the occasion.

He delivered a masterclass.

Every Latter-day Saint can learn from his Spirit-guided responses to these common questions about the Church.

Take a listen (especially you German speakers):

@DonShirts We did painting with Bob Ross several times with the deacons. They loved it. It was a bit of a mess for cleanup but we spent the entire time doing something that we don't normally do. All the boys, and leaders, enjoyed it, even if some of the paintings weren't Bob Ross level.

@LatterDayDrPepr @LilyWhite4674 @highladytuon @latterdaytrying @RandomLDS @real_justin I just finished book 10 of the WoT last night. What a surprise to see @highladytuon is on your list. Thanks for suggesting these great people.

“My dear brothers and sisters, the assaults of the adversary are increasing exponentially, in intensity and in variety.

Our need to be in the temple on a regular basis has never been greater.

I PLEAD with you to take a prayerful look at how you spend your time.

Invest time in your future and in that of your family.

If you have reasonable access to a temple, I URGE YOU to find a way to make an appointment regularly with the Lord — to be in His holy house — then keep that appointment with exactness and joy.

I promise you that the Lord will bring the MIRACLES He knows you need as you make sacrifices to serve and worship in His temples.”

Right in the middle of the war chapters—attacks, violence, preparation for war, political division. And yet, in the midst of a dark crisis, they were happy.

Yes, the world has problems, so keep your eyes wide open. But God is aware, so keep your heart wide open as well.

@tincup_man @Patriotic_Jon Aposematism - the brighter and more conspicuous the organism, the more toxic it usually is. In this case, their ideals are toxic and venomous.

@ThaBrodie34 @caitlinmwhite1 Still too many plants. Reality would be the $7.99 flowers from Smith's and a borrowed vase, put on a side table somewhere.
