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.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

“As one of the special witnesses of the name of Christ in all the world, I testify that He is the Son of the living God. Jesus is the Christ—our atoning Savior and Redeemer. This is His Church, restored to bless God’s children and to prepare the world for the Second Coming of the Lord.” —Russell M. Nelson (1924–2025).

A Life of Faith, A Legacy That Endures: Remembering Charlie Kirk

Jesus defeated death so you can live.

We asked @levie to explain the AI Jevons paradox.

Jevons paradox is the idea that as technology improves resource efficiency, the consumption of that resource may actually increase, not decrease.

It's been cited as a reason why energy-efficient cars fail to reduce our consumption of fossil fuels, and why more highway lanes fail to solve traffic congestion.

Here's Aaron's full response. We recommend a watch if you are interested in economics, markets and AI.

America’s 250th anniversary is on July 4, 2026. DOGE will deliver our nation the birthday gift of a government that’s actually accountable to its people, rather than the other way around.

Great summary edit of my conversation with @JoeRogan

[ELON CLIPS @ElonClipsX]

Elon Musk: We should let ideas compete, not suppress them.

“I think we should embrace a diversity of views, and we should have reasonable arguments, and we should have debates. The essence of free speech is that ideas survive when they're competing ideas in the marketplace of ideas.

And if somebody says something that's incorrect, then that can be corrected. That's what happens on the 𝕏 platform. People will say something, then others will add context to it, or they will correct it, or there will be a community note.

This applies equally to the left and right. There's no thumb on the scale like there used to be. And there's no voice on the left that's been silenced, unlike in the past, where many voices on the right were silenced.

But they just don't seem to like the idea that people on the right can say what they want to say within the bounds of the law, which is startling.”

Take my advice. Get married sooner and have more kids. Family is everything! That’s what it’s all about. Do you agree?

Nobody will remember:
- Your salary
- How “busy you were”
- How many hours you worked

Kronk will remember:
- The poison
- The poison for Kuzco
- The poison chosen specifically to kill Kuzco, Kuzco’s poison
