A profound exchange was captured in the notes of Maryland delegate Dr. James McHenry at the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention in 1787. As Benjamin Franklin was leaving Independence Hall, a Mrs. Powel from Philadelphia called out, “Well, Doctor, what have we got—a Republic or a Monarchy?” Without pause, he answered, “A Republic, if you can keep it.”

In honor of Constitution Day, I encourage everyone to take the time to read this founding document written to “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity…” Study it. Take a moment to discuss it with your children and think about what it represents and guarantees. Reflect on the sacrifices made by those who, from the inception of this country up to the present day, fought to give us the options and opportunities we enjoy as citizens of the United States. As I wrote in the preface to THE TERMINAL LIST: “We are citizens, not subjects, and we must stay ever vigilant that we remain so.”

At my military retirement ceremony in 2016, I gave each of my children a set of gifts, symbolic of what it means to be a self-reliant citizen of a free nation: a Bible and a compass to help guide them, the Constitution of the United States as a reminder of our natural rights and freedoms, and a Tomahawk representing the means and will to defend them.

Strength and Honor.

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

The Tigers should wear an alternate jersey based on Thomas Magnum's shirt at least once a season. I’m going to keep saying this every year until someone in that organization finally listens to me.

I’m happy for the Lions and I can see how this is happening because every time I hear Dan Campbell talk, I feel like I get 5% better at my own life.

@valavineyards @Super70sSports If I recall RC was a ‘1 step’ punter (vs most 2 steppers)…that’s why they used him in that situation. #whatanathlete

@Super70sSports Gladiator is probably the best, but honorable mention to Iron Man. Robert Downey Jr set up the whole Marvel franchise in 3 minutes.

Lou Whitaker should be in the Hall of Fame. If it’s your fucking job to know that, consider yourself notified.
