Walking by faith, showing love, speaking hope.

[Basic Optimism @BasicOptimism]

🇺🇸 America won a world war it didn't start then it did something no victor in history had ever done, it rebuilt its enemies. Germany and Japan became rich, free democracies with American help.

In 1961, Kennedy promised a Moon landing within the decade. Eight years later, an American flag was standing on the Moon. Fifty-seven years on, no other nation has ever repeated it.

Two out of every three new medicines invented on Earth in the last decade came from one country.

Immigrants from 76 different countries founded or cofounded 59% of its billion-dollar startups. The American Dream does exist.

For three decades, 22 million people a year entered a lottery for the right to live there. 1 in 400 won. There is no lottery for Russia, China or Iran.

America is home to 4% of the world's population. It produces 26% of the world's economy.

Historians have a name for the last 80 years: Pax Americana. Never in history have so few people died in conflict as in the era America has led.

No empire in history has given away this much power for free. And no country on Earth gets hated more for it.

Happy 250th, America. 🇺🇸

To the Americans:

I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.

And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:

You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.

This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.

Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.

This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.

But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.

This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.

And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:

Thank God for the United States.

Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.

Long may your admirable country dominate the world.

Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.

May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.

Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.

Thank God for the USA.

Happy 250th.

@JonGordon11 @DrJBhattacharya @MartinKulldorff @SunetraGupta I think it’s fair to say that stress is the greatest cause of death in the US. It poisons our bodies so that we succumb to many physical ailments.

These are great emphases for our county government, which largely focuses on education.

[Weston Wamp @westonwamp]

Today we announced the first initiatives of our “Hamilton First” agenda.

- Term limits in County Government.
- Paid apprenticeships, career training for HC students.
- A Mayor’s Parent Council, giving parents more influence.

Make the Bible America's book again.

Not a bad recipe for living well

[Jon Gordon @JonGordon11]

While there are many things in life that we can’t control, there are many that we can.

You can be grateful.
You can work hard.
You can love others.
You can make a difference.

People often ask me why we chose to move from LA to Chattanooga. This is certainly a big part of it, which we have found totally true:

[Craig Groeschel @craiggroeschel]

No matter why you left,
no matter where you went,
no matter what you’ve done,
no matter who you’ve become,
God is inviting you to come home.
He’s waiting to forgive you and to love you.

[James Creasman @asiabruin]

@PatrickDHampton @foxsoultv @KingJames Patrick, you did a great job tonight sharing the truth eloquently. Proud of you, as a fellow child of God and as a Chattanoogan.

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

Any politician, of any race or party, who fights against charter schools that give many black youngsters their one shot at a decent life does not deserve the vote of anybody who really believes that black lives matter.

@flowerpower69 @Ghxdra @NicholasWagner2 @myblackfriend @larryelder 2018 Homicide Victims - 14,123
2018 Mass Shooting Victims - 80

[James Creasman @asiabruin]

@flowerpower69 @Ghxdra @NicholasWagner2 @myblackfriend @larryelder Among the 62 cases (and 64 total perpetrators) dating back to 1982, in which at least four people had been killed in a public place—44 of the killers were white men and one was a white woman. In total, about 70 percent of the perpetrators in the database were white.
