A hot air balloon crashed into a parked car during takeoff in Longview, Texas, causing a mother and son to cancel their ride. Witnesses said they were stunned, with one saying, “I was shocked. I couldn’t believe what I had just seen.”

America turns 250 today.

Let me read back the resume.

We started by telling a king to pound sand, in writing.

By 1803 we bought half a continent from France for about four cents an acre.

We fought a war with ourselves and somehow stayed one country.

We strung a railroad across the entire thing.

We handed the world the lightbulb, the telephone, and the airplane in about thirty years flat.

Then a man named Willis Carrier invented air conditioning and made half the planet actually livable.

You are welcome, Texas. You are welcome, Dubai.

Twice the whole world caught fire, and twice we showed up and helped put it out.

We split the atom.

We put men on the moon in 1969.

Then we went back and hit golf balls up there, because why not.

We invented jazz, blues, rock and roll, and hip-hop, and the whole planet is still dancing to it.

We put a burger and fries on every corner of the earth.

We built rockets that fly themselves home and land standing straight up.

We flew a helicopter on Mars.

We launched a car into actual space and it is still out there cruising.

We also invented ranch dressing and somehow talked the entire world into putting it on pizza.

Priorities.

We even invented three of our own sports so we could win them.

Baseball, basketball, and football.

Real football, the kind with hands, because we named it and we are not taking corrections.

The rest of the planet can keep soccer, which is fine, we are hosting it in our backyard this summer anyway.

And yes, Canadian football exists, wider field, extra man, one fewer down, and we try very hard not to think about it.

Frankly it was generous of us to invent our own games.

If we put all that energy into soccer, nobody else would ever lift that trophy again.

We would win it so often they would just rename it the America’s Cup and hand us the keys.

You are welcome for the suspense.

And in 2026 we threw a birthday so big a German tourist live-tweeted our gas stations to 750,000 people.

Not every chapter was clean.

We argued, we stumbled, we fixed what we broke, and we kept building.

That is the whole trick.

Two hundred and fifty years in, and we are still the loudest, brightest, most improbable experiment on the map.

Not bad for a country that started as a strongly worded letter to a king.

Happy birthday, America.

It’s been 38 years since Notre Dame won a National Title. Meanwhile a team in the same state just won it. What a loser school 😂😂😂

@incarceratedbob Bob, need some advice. Have Penix 500 to win 7k and Harrison Jr 500 to win 13k both taken preseason. With Nix now being -120 favorite and Daniel’s now in the mix, taking Oregon and Washington’s schedules into account, would you hedge on Nix now or some on JD?

@incarceratedbob IB, in a deep 12 man full ppr league would you trade pick rd 1, #3 and rd 2 #10 in exchange for rd 1 #1 and rd 3 #1

@mathomp_501 @NikKolidas @MarkCHealey @mathomp_501 that might be the worst take I’ve ever heard. Losing the best closer in general is then”easiest important”? At least you have your English degree to fall back on 🤔
