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

Drone operator sends 2,500 drones into the air for a drone show celebrating America's 250th birthday in North Richland Hills, Texas.
"...For America 250, we celebrate in style!" said Sky Elements Drones.
Remarkable.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
🔥 HELL YEAH! A pilot just used his airplane to draw a USA 250th banner using his flight path
It took him over FIVE HOURS of flying time to do this.
What a PATRIOT! 🇺🇸
England is about to learn what CONCACAF is all about.

USMNT vs Bosnia and Herzegovina
Every American should be watching!
It's bigger than soccer.
It's bigger than sports.
It's about wearing the crest, backing your country, and believing in the badge.

@LibertyValkyrie Cleveland Clinic tried to bill our insurance $520 for these exact words, “I don’t handle warts”.
We submitted a picture of the ‘common wart’ on MyChart prior to booking this appointment with the doctor the scheduling department recommended!!!
Insanity.
People need to chill. We won the group and rested key players. Now we get Bosnia with a chance to punch our ticket to the Round of 16.
That's something to be excited about.
