Here is what the left expected to happen during the World Cup: Europeans were supposed to smirk at us. They were supposed to mock our religion and our guns. They were supposed to turn away in righteous disgust at our abundance and free refills and buffet lines and big trucks and big houses. They were supposed to shake their heads at our supposed lack of culture. They were supposed to see a racist behind every tree and under every rock. They were supposed to catch a glimpse of discord and poverty and hate and perpetual ignorance. And they were supposed to leave here hating this country even more so than when they arrived.
But they didn’t.
They fell in love with us. And by “us,” I mean the real, everyday America. They didn’t go to the Met Gala; they went to Walmart. They didn’t dine at the French Laundry; they ate at Waffle House. They didn’t scoff at bigger portions; they consumed them with glee. They weren’t impressed by Priuses; they were impressed by Ford F-150s. They didn’t sniffily order some 25-syllabled cup of pretention from the local fair trade cafe; they drank American beer, listened to American country music, and ate American bar food. They don’t marvel at inner-city legal drug zones; they marvel at the wide open expanses of American beauty.
They love ranch dressing. They love the military flyovers. They love the gas stations. They love the 24/7 business hours. They love the huge American flags.
In short, everything our visitors love about America is everything the left hates about America. The leftists watch this in paralyzing horror. This wasn’t supposed to happen. Foreigners were supposed to return to their homelands and report that America is exactly what Barack Obama, Michael Moore, and Sasha Baron Cohen told them it was.
But that’s not going to happen now. Because our foreign guests realize that everything their "elites" told them about us has been a disgusting lie. Just like everything our "elites" tell us about ourselves is a disgusting lie.
But the most important lesson I hope the Europeans take home with them is this. Patriotism is a moral virtue. It’s good to be proud of your country. And despite what the government, the public schools, the universities, Hollywood, social media, the elite globalists, and both the domestic and foreign media tell us, Americans are proud of their country. And if visiting Europeans can see through the lie they’ve been sold about America, I hope they can see the lie they’ve been told about themselves.

It was the middle of the night, at about 1.30am, when Norway lost to England.

Yet thousands of Norwegians went to the Palace in Oslo and celebrated with one final Viking row.

They did not riot. They did not burn cars. They did not smash bus stops or glass windows of shops.

They smiled. The laughed. They saw the positive in their performance. They celebrated their heritage. They were proud of who they have been in the past and who they are today.

Norway might be out of the World Cup 2026 but they are in our hearts.

In the last three weeks, I think we have all fallen a little bit in love with Norwegians.

Right wing propaganda… but it’s literally just a random commercial from the 80’s.

[Kevin Sorbo @ksorbs]

Consider these words from 1920, written by French author Hilaire Belloc:

“The modern world imagines that it has outgrown religion. It has done nothing of the kind. It has merely forgotten it. And because it has forgotten it, it no longer understands itself. Men do not realize that the whole framework of their moral judgments, their political habits, and even their intellectual methods were formed within a Christian society and cannot exist long outside it. When that framework breaks, they will not find themselves enlightened, but bewildered; not free, but enslaved; not rational, but confused.”

[DIEGO RANCH INC 🇺🇸 @Diegoranchinc]

Not all charities are crap. There are some who work very hard at helping people in many different ways and they don't get anything from it except for knowing they have helped someone. I put around 85% of my money into Diego Ranch and the rest is from donations. If I didn't have the little bit of help each month I couldn't do what I do. This is not fair to say when there are amazing programs out there. Just stop giving to the big money making fraud charities and help the little ones out. https://t.co/Qi4R6J8XN2

Dear America, please stop referring to members of the Senate and House as our "leaders." We do not answer to them. They are merely our representatives, and they should be reminded of that fact often.

Good Bless America!

Happy 250 years of FREEDOM! 🇺🇸

I don’t care who you are- seeing the President of the United States escorted through North Dakota by the Rough Riders on horseback like Teddy Roosevelt back in 1883 is pretty cool 🇺🇸

[Eric Sammons @EricRSammons]

I've seen a number of SSPX defenders accuse people like me and Taylor Marshall—who have long been sympathetic to the Society—of being "fair weather friends" who aren't supporting the SSPX in its hour of need.

But what is a true friend? It's not someone who simply agrees with everything a friend does. It's someone who wants the best for the friend.

If my friend's an alcoholic, I'm not supporting him going to a bar. If he cheats on his wife, I'm absolutely opposing his actions. He might not like it, and might want to end our friendship, but it's the right thing to do.

Regardless of what happens going forward (God can work good out of any situation), the consecrations were a mistake and should not have been done. As a friend of the Society, I'm not going to pretend I think otherwise.

But now that they are done, I'm going to pray and fast for reconciliation between the Society and the Church, and I'm also going to warn Catholics to avoid putting themselves in a situation the Vatican has called schismatic and might incur excommunication.

[Dr. Dawn Michael @DawnsMission]

😡 My heart is breaking watching this...

Justice Clarence Thomas just dropped the TRUTH that every American needs to hear. Progressivism isn’t just some harmless idea — it’s a direct assault on the very soul of this country. It wants to replace God-given rights with government-granted privileges. It demands we become weak, subservient, and dependent.

This is an OUTRAGE. I sure do hope that Congress will finally step up and FIX THIS before it’s too late. Justice Clarence Thomas is a TRUE PATRIOT — a man of courage, conviction, and unwavering love for the Constitution and the America our Founders envisioned.

In a time when so many are afraid to speak truth, he stands tall. I am sure that you are just as OUTRAGED over this as I am. If this video moves you like it moved me, share it. Loudly. Our rights don’t come from Washington. They come from God. And no government will ever take that away from us.

[Brandon Gill @realBrandonGill]

Relying on the courts to save our country is a fool's errand. Now is the time to do everything we can to stop illegal and legal immigration. Anybody not on board with reversing half a century of mass migration is telling you they don't believe America belongs to its people.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 JUST NOW: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis DROPS this line on the Supreme Court

“Judicially mandating that foreigners are entitled to birth US citizens against the wishes of the people as reflected in law means we cease to be our own rulers.”

Catholic Prince Alois has said that he will VETO any efforts to introduce abortion into the country

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

Like many others, I have been alarmed by the success of certain politicians in our country who identify as extreme socialists or communists.

This is not a matter of classical liberals triumphing over standard-issue conservatives; this is the victory of people who stand athwart the fundamental principles that undergird our country.

There are many reasons why I detest Communism, but I want to draw attention to just one issue of supreme importance.

Karl Marx said that the first critique is the critique of religion. He meant that, before a complete re-working of the politics and economics of a society can take place, religion has to be taken down.

This is because religion, as he saw it, is the “opium of the masses,” a drug taken to dull our sensitivity to the suffering caused by economic exploitation. As long as the suffering populace is lured into complacency by fantasies about God's providence and the promise of eternal life, they will never rise up and throw off their chains.

But there is a second reason why the elimination of religion is of paramount significance for Marx.

Communism aspires to be a totalizing system, involving the government's control over education, entertainment, communication, politics, and especially economics.

What stands resolutely athwart this ambition is religion, which declares that all of these societal expressions are finally under the judgment of God. So, if you want Communism to succeed, religion has to be stamped out.

If you doubt me on any of this, I would encourage you to read the recent histories of China, Russia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Venezuela. Revisit those histories and tell me I'm wrong about the attack on religion.

Might I encourage my fellow believers in God not to be complacent in the face of this very troubling development in the American body politic?

@HawleyMO Just ran in to an Amazon driver...nice guy, probably hard-working....doesn't speak English so we had little to say to each other. Hope he can read the road signs. Wonder if his job interview was in Spanish.

[Wide Awake Media @wideawake_media]

In China, all citizens are required to have biometric digital IDs—linked to the country's vast AI-powered surveillance grid, which includes hundreds of millions of facial recognition cameras.

Even the most trivial aspects of daily life—including boarding a train or using a vending machine—require biometric identity verification.

Citizens with low social credit scores are algorithmically restricted from travelling, accessing financial services, enrolling their children in certain schools, or even purchasing basic goods and services.

This is the kind of world the West is sleepwalking into if mandatory digital ID is ever allowed to get off the ground.
