Riddle me this, @RoKhanna. If closing USAID could cause so many child deaths in Africa, why would the African Union's top diplomat in DC celebrate USAID's shutdown? Does she like dead babies? Is she ignorant? How else do you explain her arriving at the same conclusion as DOGE?

It’s hard to believe this is real, even though we all just lived through it together.

Ha! World Cup visitors are still losing it over everyday America here is another round of things that have them wide eyed and posting nonstop:

Self serve ice machines in every gas station and fast food spot. Europeans are filming themselves filling cups the size of their heads while saying this is witchcraft. One guy from Spain called it the most American invention ever.

Texas Roadhouse with the endless fresh bread and cinnamon butter. Visitors are clearing out multiple baskets before the entree even arrives. They just keep bringing more? For free? I am never leaving.

Pharmacies inside grocery stores. Walk in for milk walk out with prescriptions shampoo and a birthday card. A French fan said it felt like one building solved my entire to do list.

Massive parking lots everywhere. Stadiums malls even restaurants have seas of asphalt. People from dense cities are shocked you can actually park for free without circling for an hour.

All you can eat buffets and bottomless brunch. One Korean visitor posted from Golden Corral: I ate for three hours and they smiled at me. This country runs on abundance.

Recliner seats in movie theaters with huge screens and buttery popcorn the size of buckets. Visitors are comparing it to flying first class on the ground.

Sweet tea so sugary it makes your teeth hurt in gallons. Southern hosts keep refilling it and fans are politely pretending they can handle it while secretly vibrating.

Drive thru car washes that are basically theme park rides. Lights soap shows and your car comes out sparkling in 5 minutes. A Brazilian said even my car feels American now.

Amazon deliveries the same day or next morning. Packages just appear. One German posted a timelapse: Ordered at midnight here at 9 a.m. What is this sorcery?

Roadside attractions and random giant statues. The Worlds Largest Ball of Twine giant roadside dinosaurs or a 50 foot cowboy boot. Visitors are detouring for selfies like it is the Eiffel Tower.

Tailgating culture before games. Grills games music and strangers sharing food in parking lots. International fans are getting adopted by locals with brisket and beer.

And the random how yall doing today? small talk from cashiers Uber drivers and hotel staff. Many say they expected cold or rude instead they are getting genuine warmth and hope you enjoy the match!

At the end of the day we Americans do not always realize how much these little things stand out. We grew up with the scale the convenience and the casual friendliness so it feels normal to us. Seeing the world light up over it reminds us how lucky we are and makes us even prouder to share it with all of you.

Keep sharing your reactions visitors. This is the good stuff. 🫶🇺🇸

JUST ANNOUNCED: The Washington Monument Illumination returns to the National Mall July 1 through July 5. Each evening, an 18-minute projection-mapping presentation will light the Monument with the people, places, and moments that have shaped the American story, ending with the Monument glowing as a giant birthday candle.

Come watch any night between 9:00 PM and 12:20 AM ET, with the best viewing along the National Mall.

Bond villains notoriously have secret labs in sketchy places plotting the end of mankind. Fun when it’s a movie plot. Not so much when millions are actually murdered.

This is 100 percent correct. And why I said what I said when I was asked during Covid on Fox News, “Fauci says he is science and if you criticize him you are criticizing science, what do you say? “

My response was: “A lot of doctors and people I speak to do not see it that way, they see him more as Dr Mengele, the doctor of death from the Nazi concentration camps”.

For that I was cancelled by Fox News where I was in the midst of contract negotiations & had a very successful show in Fox Nation: “The Rest of the Story with Lara Logan”. I had been a regular guest on most of their shows & many people thought I already worked there but I was not paid for any of that & not employed by Fox. Up to then I had done my Fox Nation show through a modest production company but I was so successful, Fox News was going to employ me for the first time. Someone made sure that did not happen - not because I was wrong, it was because I was telling the truth.

And powerful people once again did not want that.

Elon Musk just proved that ownership in America is a legal fiction.

Musk: “You get taxed on what you earn, you get taxed on what you buy, and you get taxed on what you own.”

Think about what property tax actually means.

You worked for decades. Paid it off in full. The deed is in your name.

Stop paying the government its annual fee. Watch them take it and sell it to someone who will.

You never owned that house. You were leasing it from an entity you never signed a contract with.

Income tax tells the same truth in softer packaging.

The government does not take a portion of your earnings. They decide how much of your own labor you are permitted to keep.

That is not semantics. It is a confession of who the system believes your time belongs to first.

Sales tax buries itself in the receipt. Two people exchange value voluntarily. A third party who contributed nothing takes a cut simply for allowing it to happen.

Now stack all three.

Taxed when you create. Taxed when you spend. Taxed when you hold. Taxed again when you die and try to pass it to your children.

At no point in that cycle does the system recognize your output as yours.

Because money is not an abstraction. It is crystallized human lifespan.

Every dollar taxed is an hour you already lived, already bled for, already gone.

The state is not managing an economy. It is claiming dominion over time you will never get back.

And spending it on systems you never asked for and actively oppose.

The institution extracting all of it faces zero obligation to perform. A contractor who delivers nothing gets fired. A bureaucracy that burns through trillions gets a budget increase the next fiscal year.

SpaceX pays taxes to the agencies that obstruct its launches. Tesla funds the regulators drafting rules to shield its competitors.

The builders are not subsidizing government. They are financing their own friction.

The tax code is 74,000 pages long. Not because the economy demands it. Because the extraction had to be buried in enough complexity that you would stop asking who it was designed to protect.

The past belonged to the people who taxed the world.

The future belongs to the people who build it.
