I will always root for Team USA, even when they lose.

That’s the difference between us and the left. They may be losers tonight, but they’re still winners in my eyes. 🇺🇸

[FOX Sports @FOXSports]

A team that inspired a nation. Thank you, @USMNT.

Not our night. Proud of the fellas and proud to be American! 🇺🇸 ⚽️

My father cried.
I had never seen it. Not once in my life.

70 years old. Post-war generation. He hated America with everything he had.

60 years. Not one kind word. Not one.

Then March 2011 came.
He sat in front of the TV. Every day. Silent. Fists on his knees.

Your Marines digging black mud with their bare hands for Japanese strangers.

Your 19-year-old sailors sleeping on cold steel floors so our grandmothers could have beds.

Your carrier sailing INTO the radiation while the whole world ran out.

He watched all of it. And said nothing.

Then one night I passed his room and I froze.

Behind that door, my father, the strongest and most stubborn man I ever knew, was sobbing like a child.

I couldn't move. I just stood there in the dark hallway, listening, crying with him.

Then he said it. One sentence. It tore 60 years apart:

"I was wrong about them."

Do you understand what that took?

A lifetime of hatred. Gone.
Destroyed by soldiers carrying soup to strangers.

America, you didn't just save our towns.

You reached inside my father's chest and healed a wound he swore would never close.

He passed away believing in you.

Happy 250th. 🇺🇸🇯🇵
An old man who hated you died loving you. My father.

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? 🇺🇸

President Trump’s speech tonight was brilliant.

“Our American ancestors did not shed their blood just so that a band of thieves, radicals, and lunatics could come in loot, pillage our nation.”

Exactly.

[Mike Bales 🫡🇺🇸 @MikeBales]

The American flag existed long before Donald Trump, and it’ll still be here long after him.

If your patriotism rises and falls based on who’s in the White House, maybe your allegiance is to politics—not the country.

The flag represents the nation and its people, not whichever administration happens to be in power.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

God bless America. 🇺🇸

HAPPY (ACTUAL) NO KINGS DAY

[Karen Kennedy @realkarenjean]

Watching the speech given by Zorhan Mamdami @NYCMayor , I was reminded of a South Park comedy sketch. Foreigners standing there, looking confused, holding MY AMERICAN FLAG.

Zorhan couldn't wait to mention that America has the world's first trillionaire. Thanks for noticing. His name is Elon Musk @elonmusk and he's actually from the continent of Africa - SAME AS YOU. Elon is proud to be an American. You, Zorhan, are not.

Zorhan has contributed NOTHING to build, manage, or augment this Great Nation. Never had a job. Never managed employees. Never ran a budget, or filled out a W2. Nothing. Just another community organizer like Obama. Another apologist for "American Exceptionalism." I don't apologize for a damn thing. AMERICA IS EXCEPTIONAL. WE'RE JUST BETTER.

Elon came to this Country with nothing but the lint in his pockets. He built businesses. He has employed hundreds of thousands of people - paying high salaries and offering great benefits. Don't hate, congratulate.

Additionally, I am a REAL BLACK AMERICAN. My family has been here for generations - we are NOT immigrants. Actually, black folks across this Nation are sick of being lectured to by foreigners who come here and get lavish benefits, when you've given NOTHING.

Make no mistake, Kwame. Tomorrow is MY 250TH BIRTHDAY. My husband served this Country and died saving it. I will NOT be lectured to by a Ugandan citizen who came to MY COUNTRY for refuge. Our "capitalist money" gave Uganda foreign aid for years. Stop using the "immigrants need more acceptance" bullshit. We're over it. Read the damn room.

#IndependenceDay
#America250th

[Yogi @Houseofyogi]

Mamdani got the whole American dream in eight years. Came here as a kid, got citizenship in 2018, now he runs the biggest city in the country.

And on America's 250th birthday he sat down at George Washington's desk and told us everything wrong with the place.

I'm not even angry. I'm disappointed.

Here's the picture he painted:

He mocked the people who supposedly think America "becomes less the more people it welcomes."

Said it belongs "only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin."

Called our streets a place where "masked agents" are "terrorizing" people.

Said the country's wealth was built by "calloused, dirt-streaked hands" and then left to rot.

Looked out from Washington's desk and called the Americans who built this economy "small" and "weak."

Okay Mamdani. You hate it so much, why'd you come here?

Let's put that picture up against the actual country.

He's a Muslim kid born in Uganda and he's the mayor of New York. A guy back in his own birthplace said it plainly: over there he'd have had to claw his way in. Here we held the door open.

We've got the most diverse Congress in our history. It was never about skin color, no matter how many years the left spent forcing that story onto a country that kept proving them wrong.

A machine that grinds immigrants down? Nearly half the Fortune 500 was started by immigrants or their kids. 231 companies.

Apple, son of a Syrian.

Google, a kid who came over from the Soviet Union.

Amazon, son of a Cuban.

Put them together and they out-earn Japan, out-earn Germany. That's not a country grinding people into the dirt. That's a country handing them the keys.

It's been and always will be the land of opportunity.

And more people want in here than anywhere else alive. 53 million immigrants live here, the most of any nation on earth. We're 4% of the world's people and we hold 17% of the world's migrants.

Every year since 2007 you ask the whole planet where it'd go if it could go anywhere, the answer comes back the same. America. Number one. The line to get in wraps around the globe.

Here's the line he won't draw. I will.

Legal immigration built this country. The strivers. That's the front door working the way it's supposed to, and I'll defend it all day. You need to earn your spot, respect our laws and customs.

But that's not what we're running anymore.

Four years of Biden's open border blew the doors off. The foreign-born share of this country just hit 15.8%. An all-time high. Higher than Ellis Island, more than triple what it was in 1970.

The Census Bureau didn't expect that number until 2042 and we smashed past it. And on top of it, a record 14 million people here illegally, who cut in front of every single person who did it the right way.

The front door built America from Ellis Island to today. The fence is a different thing. Pretending they're the same is how you end up calling every American who wants a secure border a bigot.

And we've earned the right to standards. This is the most wanted country on the planet. We get to choose who walks in. You want in? Build something. Contribute. Earn it. Nobody's owed anything.

You come illegally, you commit crimes, you steal from taxpayers, you should get deported. That's not terrorizing the streets.

Mamdani walked through that front door in 2018. He of all people should be defending it. Instead he stood at Washington's desk and spent his speech blurring the line between the people who came the right way and the ones who broke in.

The man even admitted out loud that America is exceptional. Then spent the rest explaining why it isn't. On the one day the whole country stops to celebrate itself, he reached for the darkest story he could find.

That's not a man who's lost about America. That's a man who's angry at the country that gave him everything he has.

You don't like it here? Nobody made you come.

Nobody's stopping you from leaving. But you won't. They never do. Because there's nowhere else on earth that hands a person this much of a shot.

This country took him in and made him a mayor. He owes it. It doesn't owe him a thing.

We're not perfect. We're the best odds a human being has ever been handed. 250 years old, the richest and freest country alive, and the whole world is still clawing to get in while nobody's trying to leave.

They hold America to a standard they'd never hold anyone else to, then act shocked it falls short.

It's nonsense.

Respect the country. Especially when it's the reason you're standing at that desk at all.

[lili @WhoAmIAmLili]

@itscelyunique @sugar_morena leave!

[lili @WhoAmIAmLili]

@sugar_morena @itscelyunique Of course that what we'll say "USA!" "USA!", we are afterall rooting for USA!
The fact that you are still in the USA, when you can leave beats me.

[Melissa Chen @MsMelChen]

A clean sheet for Matt Freese, the US men's national team goalkeeper.

TIL that he turned down Manchester United as a teenager to go to Harvard and study economics and computer science (this makes him spiritually Asian btw).

He's a legit data nerd too - models expected goals, builds Pythagorean expectation formulas, and did deep research on penalty-taker tendencies that gives him a real edge. He said that he'll publish the full findings only after retiring from football.

He's also Catholic so I'm guessing, his baseline is pretty based. Well done to him and Team USA! 🇺🇸
