In all my years of watching the FIFA World Cup, I’ve never seen anything on this level. The USA is putting on the best World Cup ever. If that bothers you, a retweet would be appreciated. 😎🇺🇸
I was curious once too.
I have never lived in Texas. But I worked remotely with Texans for years, and I spent so much time in the DFW area twenty years ago that it remains one of my favorite places on earth to visit.
So let me try to explain what I learned.
Start with this. In America, everyone is proud of their state. But Texas is different, and here is the tell. You never have to ask a Texan where they are from. They will tell you. Usually within the first two minutes.
Part of it is size. Texas is enormous. You can drive for a full day and never leave it. Part of it is the sheer variety. Real mountains in the west. Pine forests in the east. Beaches on the Gulf. Ranch land, oil country, desert, hill country, and some of the biggest cities in America. Almost every kind of terrain on the continent exists inside one state line.
But the real root is the history, and Texans know their history.
Texas was its own country. A fully independent republic with its own president, army, navy, and embassies. It fought Mexico for its independence and won it on the battlefield, then chose to join the United States as an equal. Six flags have flown over that land. Spain, France, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the Confederacy, and the United States. That was real history long before it was a theme park.
And here is the part outsiders miss most.
When the rest of the world pictures America, they are very often picturing Texas. The ranches. The boots. The oil. The swagger. The TV show Dallas ran for twenty years and exported that image to the entire planet. Texas became the shorthand for America itself.
But here is the thing I love most about Texans.
As much as they love Texas, they love America more.
It is, by almost any measure, the most patriotic state in the Union.
That is the answer. Texas pride is not arrogance. It is a country that remembers being a country, and chose this one anyway. 🦋
after watching this idk how anyone could be on Noah’s side.
He’s complaining about the “f1 guys” then proceeds to do everything he complained about. Then Kmag just did what Noah should have done in the first place if he was really that pissed.
The reason KMag is being clowned is because he didn’t bend over and accept the rough driving the way Kamui did when Berry and Stenhouse sent him to Narnia in his two starts.
They lost the opportunity to laugh at the “sheltered F1 racer who doesn’t understand NASCAR toughness”
I thought the nascar lot were proud of being able to wreck a driver for no reason? Like that’s their only reason for saying it’s better than F1, but if they’re gonna complain when someone actually does it then what’s the point.
7:05 update: Denton County is under a Flood Advisory. Up to 1.5" of rain have fallen and rain continues. An additional inch of rain will be possible. Be sure to avoid flooded areas.

Transporter Tuesday - Bill Elliott & the crew had a lot of speed with the Coors Ford in the mid 1980’s.
There was a lot of speculation where they found the speed, but I’m not sure it was ever pinpointed.
My thoughts, combination of a slick body & finding some extra hp. 🏁
This year at the #indy500 we had a small film crew following me around to give fans a closer look at how we go through qualifying and race weekend. Episode 1 of ‘Back Home Again’ is out now. Hope you enjoy it! @DreyerReinbold https://t.co/pfSEKi5cf2 #indycar
