A Texas man is taking World Cup tourists four-wheeling, dancing, horseback riding, and shopping at Buc-ee's to give them the best American experience.

Drew Haas of Texas is taking tourists to his 30-acre property to help them make the most of their travels.

"We love this lifestyle. We enjoy every second of it. We just wanna, like, soak it in," one tourist said.

Amazing.

NEW: Speaker Mike Johnson says the World Cup is creating an ironic split screen across America, as fans from around the world appreciate the U.S. "so more than these socialists running for Congress."

While radical left Democrats spend their time criticizing the country, visitors from around the world are flooding social media with videos of themselves falling in love with it — from Buc-ee’s and Waffle House to free chips and salsa in Texas.

"They've never known freedom. They've never known these kinds of things, and they're seeing them for themselves. The genius of America's system, a system that rewards risk takers and entrepreneurs and job creators and innovators and people who create jobs for others and expand the economy and opportunity and broaden the pathway out of poverty for more people."

"That's what we promise to the voters, and that's what we are delivering."

"They have so much pride for their country. They love their country so much. Everything about it. National anthem was incredible. It was amazing, I had goosebumps all over!"

How many people has Elon Musk personally murdered via his work helping defund USAID? I've run the numbers.

USAID, as people outside of CNN's viewership already know, operates largely as a CIA cutout, placing assets on the ground in countries where the U.S. govt is intervening politically.

USAID was instrumental is helping seed the following revolutions/coup d'états/civil wars:

Serbia — Bulldozer Revolution (Oct. 2000)

Venezuela — coup attempt + sustained OTI funding (April 2002)

Georgia — Rose Revolution (Nov. 2003)

Ukraine — Orange Revolution (2004)

Haiti — Ouster of Aristide (Feb. 2004)

Lebanon — Cedar Revolution (2005)

Belarus — opposition funding, "Jeans Revolution" and after — attempted, failed (2006)

Honduras — Coup against Zelaya (Jun. 2009)

Cuba — ZunZuneo / "Cuban Twitter" — attempted, failed (2010–12)

Tunisia — "Arab Spring" (2011)

Egypt — "Arab Spring" (2011–12)

Ukraine — Euromaidan / Revolution of Dignity (2014)

Bolivia — anti-Morales funding; 2013 expulsion; 2019 ouster

Kyrgyzstan — Tulip Revolution (March 2005)

Without U.S. intervention, it's hard to see how any of these would have gotten off the ground. Some back-of-the-envelope math on these conflicts' bodycount:

Venezuela (2002): 19

Haiti (2004): ~300

Maidan event (2014): ~100+ killed.

Bolivia (2019): 36

Donbas war (2014–2022): 14,200–14,400 military & civilian deaths.

Ukraine full-scale war (2022–present), deaths, both sides, mil + civ: roughly 350,000–500,000 killed.

So far we're up to somewhere north of 365,000 deaths, more likely north of 500K.

What else do we have?

USAID also helped fund poppy (heroin) farmers in Afghanistan. Unfortunately I haven't seen estimates of how many have died as a result of this taxpayer funded drug dealing, but I'm assuming they're not small numbers.

USAID also worked with groups sexually abusing/trafficking children in Kenya (2021), and the Central African Republic (2013).

Much earlier, during Vietnam, USAID helped the CIA arm & feed Hmong guerrillas fighting communist forces (not the worst thing). USAID also helped the Hmong militia & other warlords smuggle opium (a far less forgivable thing).

While the final tally is hard to properly calculate, if past is predicate, in helping shutdown USAID, @elonmusk could be saving hundreds of thousands of lives, thousands of African children, & millions of people around the world susceptible to opiate addiction.

Get this man a Peace Prize, @NobelPrize

Ngl, the 2010 World Cup was special, but this 2026 World Cup is on a whole different level.

Mark Cuban explains how he pulled off one of Wall Street’s greatest trades

“When Yahoo offered us $5.7B in stock, I couldn’t sell it for six months”

“So what I did was I took every penny that I had and shorted the internet index as protection, basically taking insurance out in case the internet bubble popped”

“When I was allowed to sell it, because I couldn’t sell it all at once, it would just crater the market, so I did something called a hedge”

“What the hedge is, you can sell options. So I sold call options, which gave somebody else the right to buy my shares at a higher price in the future”

“I took that money and used it to buy puts, which protected me in case the price of my stock went down”

“When it popped, I actually made more money. It was called one of the top 10 trades in Wall Street history”
