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

@TomFornelli Awful take. They earned their way in with wins on the field.

@OK_Breakdown BV has built a culture of belief, togetherness, and toughness. They aren’t a perfect team, but the culture has made them “hard to kill” and easy to be proud of. Just wait until we figure it out on offense

[Jackson Payne @jpayne0617]

@Josh_Scoop No you’re not; and a hold

[Jackson Payne @jpayne0617]

@GabeIkard Oh man I’m so sorry to hear this. Praying for your family

@soonersonly You mean next week?

@dariusLtrainer @TheCFBNation Opt outs - the timing of the portal window

[Barstool Sooners @OUBarstool]

Going 7-5 (dangerously close to 5-7) with a generational QB like Caleb Williams is one of the bigger coaching malpractices ever. It’s so beautiful

@InsideUSC If only we could have seen this coming 😂😂😂😂

I hereby demand that the NCAA change the rule of the RPO from OLineman being able to be 3 yards downfield on a pass, to the NFL rule of 1 yard.

Whose with me? RT if you are with me!

@247Sports After he tried to sabotage everything at the school that made him.

[Jackson Payne @jpayne0617]

@ByPatForde Just play umbrella coverage on them. He can’t figure it out. Overrated

@AP_Top25 @gregbeacham When is someone in the media gonna call this guy on his hypocrisy and BS?
