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.

@LouRaguse Lou, you’ve been on the story for a long time. Great job bringing it to light. Is it possible to check payroll tax withholding records with the IRS to see if any of these learning or autism centers actually withhold taxes for employees? That would be a big red flag my guess is No
The Minnesota Somali fraud exposes everything that is wrong with government. Politicians and their administrators spend other people’s (taxpayers’) money to advance their own interests —getting themselves and their party elected and reelected by supporting an ethnic group which votes as a block — under the guise of supporting a purported good, in this case child daycare, autism care and ‘healthcare’ broadly defined.
When this fraud is combined with a system which allows one voter to ‘verify’ up to eight other voters who do not have to show state or federal ID, at best you destroy the American people’s confidence in our democratic voting system, and, at worst, you have rigged elections.
The only way this stops is for the people responsible to suffer severe criminal consequences and for there to be a Federal internal audit system where private citizen bounty hunters who find fraud earn rewards equal to a percentage of the grift identified.
The time to fix our broken system is now.
The media cover-up in Minnesota is a scandal in and of itself.
An estimated $9 BILLION was stolen from taxpayers under Tim Walz’s failed leadership, but the blame also falls on the Minnesota Star Tribune for failing to hold Walz accountable.

Dear Minnesota —
This is real. And it’s infuriating.
��What we see are schemes stacked upon schemes, draining resources meant for those in need. It feels never ending… I have spent my career as a fraud prosecutor and the depth of the fraud in Minnesota takes my breath away.”
While Tampon Tim is doing a media tour attacking President @realDonaldTrump and slandering @elonmusk
Back here in Minnesota, we are on Day 18 of a Democrat created constitutional crisis, which most people outside of Minnesota have probably never heard about
@elonmusk No!!! We in the northern states want late evenings. We put up with crap weather all winter don’t take our beautiful summer nights away. Plus w/o DST the sun comes up at 0400!!
