Europeans dying of heat stroke: “Can we please turn on the AC?”
Their governments: “Best we can do is replace you with migrants and prosecute you for Facebook posts.”
We stopped disciplining children and started diagnosing them.
Now we have a country full of adults who think everything is someone else's fault.
Tell me I’m wrong.
Just imagine it’s the 80’s and 90’s…and Nashville still has these two options available today……..the two biggest fumbles of my lifetime are losing Starwood and Opryland.🤦🏻♂️
One advantage the World Cup has over the Olympics is we don’t have reporters whose sole function seems to be asking U.S. athletes if they’re ashamed to be from the U.S.
One day, you'll bury your dad, and that's the day you'll realize you lost the only man who genuinely wanted you to do better than him.
Take care of him if he's alive.
I’ve traveled to every continent on earth, there is nowhere like the USA
The standard of living, the opportunities, the safety, the freedom
You don’t realise how lucky you are, so many of you take what you have for granted
All these posts of Europeans falling in love with America, realizing how much they have been lied to, reveals to me how much I have been lied to as well. I love the United States. 🇺🇸 I’m so thankful that this is my earthly home. All praise to the Lord!
Something good is happening at this World Cup.
The Scots turned up. The English turned up. The Norwegians turned up. They sang their songs, got stuck in, and the Americans loved them for it. Glasgow and Boston are getting twinned off the back of it.
For 30 years we’ve been told to view the US as some sort of Great Satan — all imperialism and orange-man clichés. Not everyone buys it of course, but enough do.
And then Europeans actually go, and find a place that feels familiar. Makes sense to them. A bit richer, a bit further ahead, but recognisably ours. Settled by Europeans, still deeply European in its bones.
There’s a gathering-of-the-clans feeling to it. Old neighbours discovering they still like the same songs, the same drink, the same daft humour, and genuinely enjoying each other’s company.
None of it’s a surprise, really. It’s just been buried under so much politics that we forgot we were allowed to enjoy it.
Good to be reminded.
Dear Microsoft, when I hit the Windows Start menu key and start typing a word to autocomplete a search, I never, ever, EVER want it to return results of something not on my computer. Ever. Like, ever, ever, never.
The worst decision in my life as a born and raised Nashvillian? Shutting down Opryland to open a shopping mall they could have built anywhere. Opryland would be even more popular today than it was when I was a kid. Huge whiff by the city. Loved it. Miss it.
The older you get, the more you realize luck is just exposure.
If you sit in the same chair, same routine, talking to same people… nothing new happens.
You have to touch the world to win.
• Talk to strangers
• try a new coffee spot
• post on social
• Start a side hustle
The world rewards motion.
You don’t find opportunity sitting still.
You bump into it.
