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

@TheAliceSmith I read the Declaration of Independence out loud today with heartfelt conviction.

It is a work not just of genius, but also of a purity of soul that resonates to this very day.

I want to challenge everyone to repost our country's flag. I want to see my timeline with all flags

@elonmusk This is so sick- my husband will never fully recover from COVID and our state, by law would not allow any therapeutic intervention and I asked for help from the pharmacy as his O2 kept dropping- they allowed no lawsuits and they can’t replace 3.5 months and long Covid after.

[Lolobjork @lolobjork]

@ScottPresler @LeaderJohnThune You’re living up to your name and I love it!

[Lolobjork @lolobjork]

@larryelder Thanks for being more positive, that’s what I miss so much about @charliekirk11 - Christ-centered, positive, always giving an answer for the hope within us, knowing that ultimately God wins ❤️✝️❤️!

[Lolobjork @lolobjork]

@larryelder These people weren’t serious to begin with- no one with serious conservative values would vote for the current Democrat party. Blackpillers…

[Lolobjork @lolobjork]

@DefiyantlyFree @GBNT1952 @ChrisLoesch Ok, “there is a lot of us” 🤷🏼‍♀️, these people are not very bright!

[Lolobjork @lolobjork]

@LangmanVince @JDVance - steer clear of any association with @TuckerCarlson - you are doing a great job supporting our POTUS and you could be next to be voted into that job!

[Lolobjork @lolobjork]

@VigilantFox @TuckerCarlson is the most publicly disloyal friend I have ever seen. I used to like his interviews but now I can’t stand to even look at him! The most sanctimonious, virtue signaling, liar out there. CRINGE 😬

[Lolobjork @lolobjork]

@ScottPresler @rickyllesor1 @SenTomCotton = Huge disappointment to the people he supposedly serves, strict requirements for voting should be non-negotiable, stop enriching yourselves off the backs of the voters!

[Lolobjork @lolobjork]

@laralogan They owe survivors a lot of $$$

[Lolobjork @lolobjork]

@RealJamesWoods @KatTheHammer1 This just infuriates me! I want some remuneration! My husband still suffers adverse effects of his 3.5 months in the hospital; ventilator, tracheostomy. Didn’t the Dr. F makes millions?!?

[Mike Netter @nettermike]

Your heart should breaking as you read this. Because you all need to realize something about Usha Vance Karoline Leavitt Jennifer Hegseth and Jeanette Rubio These four women right now are each carrying something that most people will never fully understand. Usha Vance pregnant with her fourth child baby boy coming in July and JD chose no formal leave. She is home. Alone. Counting the days. While her husband carries America. Karoline Leavitt who stood at the most powerful podium in America for 39 weeks pregnant never missed a single day. Came back to work four days after having baby Niko. And today holds baby Vivi knowing another briefing is always just around the corner. Jennifer Hegseth who holds seven children together every single time Pete boards that plane. Every deployment. Every trip. Every morning the kids ask where dad is. She answers. Alone. And Jeanette Rubio who has watched her husband cross three continents in one week away from her away from their children for a country that may never fully know her name.

Four women. Four completely different sacrifices. One identical truth. They never asked America to see them. They never posted about what it costs. They never once made it about themselves. They just held everything together. Quietly. Completely. So their husbands could hold America. And today we just need every American to stop for one moment. And say something these four women have waited too long to hear. Thank you. Not for your husbands. For you. For everything you carry that nobody films.

God cover Usha. Cover Karoline. Cover Jennifer. Cover Jeanette. And remind every one of them America sees you. Even on the days it forgets to say it. Make sure to repost this today. Because these women deserve to be seen.

@elonmusk This resonates with me across multiple disciplines - real human relationships when engaged in learning is the motivation behind applying knowledge.

@WesleyHuntTX @charliekirk11 would have loved this - still miss him, God bless @MrsErikaKirk and family 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻

“More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope.” - Romans 5:3-4

Last week a story went viral that says a difficult life isn’t worth living. I want to offer a different perspective:

The Hard Road Is The Point.

There’s a growing lie baked into modern culture that life is supposed to be smooth. Convenient. Perfect. That if things are difficult, something’s gone wrong. That suffering is a malfunction, not a feature.

So people spend their lives optimizing for comfort. Avoiding friction and inconvenience. Looking for the shortcut, the hack, the easier path.

And they miss the whole point.

The beauty of a life well-lived isn’t found despite the struggle - it’s forged inside it. Character doesn’t grow in comfort. It grows under pressure, strain, stress and adversity. Gratitude doesn’t come from ease. It comes from having walked through something hard and making it to the other side.

The ancient understanding - the one we’ve traded for comfort - is that suffering carries meaning. That the valley isn’t a detour. It is the journey.

Truth is, when you strip away the hard parts, you don’t get a better life. You get a shallow one.

Because the rough road isn’t a sign you’re doing it wrong.

It might be the surest sign you’re doing it right.

My son Iron Will has Down syndrome. He spent his earliest months in a walker just to build the strength to stand. Every step was a fight. Every inchstone and milestone was hard won. And watching him work, really work, for things that come effortlessly to other kids didn’t break my heart. It expanded it. Because what I saw wasn’t limitation. I saw determination unencumbered by societal expectations. I saw joy that doesn’t depend on easy. I saw a little boy who gets up every single time, grins, and goes again on his own terms, at his own pace.

My brave little son didn’t teach me about suffering. He taught me what it looks like to pursue life fully - without fear, without shortcuts, and without ever being told what he can’t do.

When we decide a life will be too hard before it begins - based on the inherent limitations of our mortal understanding - we end a story before it ever has the chance to be written.

We will never tell Iron Will, or any of our children, that the hard road isn’t worth it.

Because the greatest stories ever told involve suffering that produces endurance that produces character that produces hope.

And hope changes everything.
