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.

🚨 DISTURBING KIDNAPPING CASE IN UTAH:
A transgender woman (biological father) and her partner are accused of kidnapping their 10-year-old child, taking the boy on what was supposed to be a “camping trip,” then smuggling him across the Canadian border, flying through Mexico to Cuba for gender reassignment surgery.
All without the biological mother's knowledge.
The DOJ had to send a government plane to rescue the child and bring him back to the U.S.
Court docs reveal notes about sending $10,000 for “gender affirming medical care” and reports the child was being pushed to transition since age 5.
This is the radical gender ideology endgame: parents kidnapping their own kids to mutilate them abroad.
Absolutely sick. These people belong in prison for LIFE!
🚨NEW: Stephen A. Smith: "You got a lot of d*mn nerves to say for numerous admins, 'Iran is a problem. They have to be dealt with.' & then Trump deals with them. & then all of a sudden you're complaining about him now. It doesn't really make sense."
BILL MAHER CROWD: 👏👏👏
BYU freshman AJ Dybantsa just amassed 40 points, nine rebounds, six assists and three steals in an epic performance.
Big 12 "Player of the Year" Jaden Bradley didn't even score a single point in the first round for Arizona.
AJ Dybantsa should have RAN AWAY with Big12 POTY
Bradley: Dybantsa:
13.4 PTS 24.7 PTS
3.5 REB 6.7 REB
4.6 AST 3.8 AST
One of the biggest snubs I’ve seen in years…
THIS IS SMALL TOWN AMERICA!🇺🇸
It doesn’t get much better than a Dukes of Hazzard car going airborne over the town square fountain in small town America!
Ahead of tonight's matchup with BYU, Cincinnati would like to extend its gratitude to the @BYUCougars community and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for their generosity. Their November donation was the largest in the history of the Bearcats Pantry.
