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.

@RoKhanna lol. Did he just prove his own demise? What did Reagan say “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the government, and I'm here to help.”
Hello Senator....
This November it will be 50 years since you were first elected to Congress, so we want to be the first to say .
"Happy 50th Anniversary of drawing a taxpayer funded salary."
That is quite an achievement.
In fact - you are 2nd longest-still serving member in Congress.
It has been a long time since you held a private sector job.
AND yes 50 years ago - in 1976 (it was America's Bicentennial that year) - people still punched clocks back then. The world has changed a lot.
During your 50 years in Congress - you watched as the creators and inventors and producers changed the world, creating trillions in new wealth, millions of new jobs and dramatically raising living standards for everyone rich and poor alike.
And for 50 years you have voted to raise taxes and regulate and oversee every move of the private sector.
You have never created or invented or produced. Just taxed and regulated and outraged.
But thank you for using the platform the "TRILLIONAIRE class" has provided to the entire world for free to tell us all how disgusted you are.
We would never know otherwise.

Congratulations to @elonmusk and the SpaceX team. You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.
��
Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.
@TheButcher2020@bossofme7@greg_price11 Lets clear this up. Hey @grok which judges have been blocking the release of additional Epstein documents and who nominated those judges?
@lisa_4_la Seriously, @spencerpratt sign her up immediately. You need insiders to take out the trash who know where the trash is. Praying 🙏 for you man.

Good evening Rep. Titus.
Several of your constituents have asked us to respond to this post.
We refer you to prior our comments to your colleague Rep. Lee. BUT with an additional addendum that others might find interesting.
Roughly 88% of Nevada’s transportation fuels — including nearly 90% of Southern Nevada’s supply and the Las Vegas area via the Calnev Pipeline — comes from California refineries.
With CA Democrat energy policy forcing the closure of major facilities, this dependency will mean higher prices & tighter supply ahead.
Nevada has virtually ZERO gasoline refining capacity of its own.
Just as Asian and European countries are learning that it is unwise to let their economies be vulnerable foreign geographic choke points --
We recommend Nevada decouple itself from CA energy policy as soon as possible.
Now having said that - allow us to also point out a number of votes you have cast which exacerbated this situation Nevadans now find themselves in.
Here are just 5 examples:
1. NAY on H.R. 1 — Lower Energy Costs Act (2023).
This bill boosted domestic oil/gas production & cut red tape to lower prices. You voted no. It passed 225-204.
2. NAY on rolling back the Methane Polluter Fee.
This tax raised producer costs passed to consumers at the pump. Opposing rollback kept it in place.
3. NAY on attacking critical oil & gas leasing reforms (2024).
Your vote helped preserve limits on new federal leases, reducing supply growth.
4. NAY on undermining federal blocks on LNG exports (2024).
Maintained uncertainty that discourages production & raises domestic fuel costs.
5. NAY on rushing pipeline review & coordination (2025).
Opposed faster approvals that would cut delays & bottlenecks for moving fuel efficiently.
We think it is important to remind you that you have been consistent in opposing more drilling, leasing, LNG & pipelines.
This is not helpful in producing more energy for Nevadans.
We respectfully ask that you not do that any more.
@unusual_whales@grok please reality check the auto-pen guys statement and break down government jobs, foreign born worker and native born during this period.
🚨 FACT CHECK: Barack Obama shipped $1.7 BILLION IN CASH to Iran, pallets stacked high, flown straight into Tehran right before he left office!
OBAMA FUNDED THE EVIL REGIME IN IRAN WITH OUR TAX MONEY!
TREASON.
On January 12, 2016, while Barack Obama was president, Iran’s IRGC seized a U.S. Navy boat.
Iran released footage showing American sailors humiliated, some kneeling and others in tears before Iranian forces.
Five days later, on January 17, Obama sent $400 million in pallets of cash to Iran, followed by another $1.3 billion through additional transactions.
