Bull market is
1. born out of depair
2. advance in silence
3. end in cheers

[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

@Morris_LT 纵观历史，很不幸的是，大部分时间，这个世界不是由最正确的人主宰，而是由最会让别人相信自己正确的人主宰。

@shaunmmaguire Those European leaders are little finger in the game of throne, who love chaos as it becomes a ladder for them to climb up the authority step!

[Observer @Observer0708]

@elonmusk And if you follow the money, those woke professors indoctrinating students got most of their grants from government or individuals with close ties to government.

[Observer @Observer0708]

@thatsKAIZEN Follow the money, the truth might be deeper than just protecting that fish. Some people in power must siphon off a lot of the money going to the protection of the fish.

@kangminlee Asians, you must fight back to death otherwise, they will continue to rob you, beat you next time, and get scot free. They only respect and fear you if you defend yourself!

5 Parallels Between @Qullamaggie and @DanZanger

@shaunmmaguire NYT knows how to sell their products to their reader base. Otherwise they will have no relevance in the market. So they did on purpose to stay relevant.

For my British and European friends who are "shocked" and "surprised", here are 10 reasons you didn't see this coming.

Read this short post and then read the replies from our American friends who will confirm what I'm saying.

1. Americans love their country and want it to be the best in the world. America is a nation of people who conquered a continent. They love strength. They love winning. Any leader who appeals to that has an automatic advantage.

2. Unlike Europeans, Americans have not accepted managed decline. They don't have Net Zero here, they believe in producing their own energy and making it as cheap as possible because they know that their prosperity depends on it.

3. Prices for most basic goods in the US have increased rapidly and are sky high. What the official statistics say about inflation and the reality of people's lives are not the same.

4. Unlike you, Americans do not believe in socialism. They believe in meritocracy. They don't care about the super rich being super rich because they know that they live in a country where being super rich is available to anyone with the talent and drive to make it. They don't resent success, they celebrate it.

5. Americans are the most pro-immigration people in the world. Read that again. Seriously, read it again. Americans love an immigrant success story. They want more talented immigrants to come to America. But they refuse to accept people coming illegally. They believe in having a border.

6. Americans are sensitive about racial issues and their country's imperfect history. They believe that those who are disadvantaged by the circumstances of their birth should be given the opportunity to succeed. What they reject, however, is the idea that in order to address the errors of the past new errors must be made. DEI is racist. They know it and they reject it precisely because they are not racist.

7. Americans are the most philosemitic nation on earth. October 7 and the pro-Hamas left's reaction shocked them to their very core because, among other things, they remember what 9/11 was like and they know jihad when they see it.

8. Americans are extremely practical people. They care about what works, not what sounds good. In Europe, we produce great writers and intellectuals. In America they produce (and attract) great engineers, businessmen and investors. Because of this, they care less about Trump's rhetoric than you do and more about his policies than you do.

9. Americans are deeply optimistic people. They hate negativity. The woke view of American history as a series of evils for which they must eternally apologise is utterly abhorrent to them. They believe in moving forward together, not endlessly obsessing about the past.

10. America is a country whose founding story is one of resistance to government overreach. They loathe unnecessary restrictions, regulations and control. They understand that freedom comes with the price of self-reliance and they pay it gladly.

@shaunmmaguire Spot on!

[Observer @Observer0708]

@BillAckman @ericadamsfornyc @BillAckman You’re wise to recognize that in politics, party bosses only promote politicians when they have control over them, often by holding onto their rap sheets. If those politicians go rogue or defy their bosses’ orders, those records can conveniently resurface.

[Observer @Observer0708]

@elonmusk Well said. It is a big money making system for them, only people who are left out are the people really in need of help- the homeless group.

[Observer @Observer0708]

@BillAckman If you are a critical thinker, you will notice a glaring pattern of bias in the MSM’s narratives. They never compare Trump to Lenin, Stalin, Pol Pot, each of whom killed way more their own people than hitler did. This begs the question, because they are all communists.

[Observer @Observer0708]

@ElonMNews Yes!

@historyinmemes What is this song called?

@libsoftiktok Don Lemon will choose the best doctor when it comes to a big surgery for him or his relatives rather than selecting based on DEI criteria.

Don’t listen what he says, but watch what he does.

[Observer @Observer0708]

@WallStreetSilv Asians should run for office and take up position of power to protect yourselves.

You are treated like a ping pong ball being played by both white and black politicians to advance their agenda.

It is time to take charge of your destiny by having the political power.

@dom_lucre Dang… I always know cannibalism exists but never see it in real video.

[Observer @Observer0708]

@elonmusk I see something deeper and more heinous about government’s intent: they do not care about the safety and wellbeing of people, but are only obsessed with fact that government must be in charge of all situations 100% of the time. Citizens cannot compete with government for power.
