Our raw/unedited video of the last 2:30 of the fireworks last night from the roof of Kennedy Center.
Check out the lightning strike at the 12 second mark.
Then skip to the last 30 seconds where you felt the concussions in your chest and the building was actually shaking.
Frickin' awesome!
Independence Day is almost here! 🇺🇸 Celebrate our country's 250th birthday with me and special reader President Trump as he reads about our former (and current!) presidents' favorite pastimes on Storytime with the Second Lady.

🔥 Dad doesn’t need another tie… he needs THIS!
Still stuck on Father’s Day gifts? Get him a propane torch that actually makes yard work fun. Watch it annihilate weeds along fences, pavers, and driveways with intense heat — no chemicals, no endless pulling by hand.
Works smarter, not harder. Kills them down to the roots in seconds. Perfect tool shed upgrade! 🔥
Safety first — clear flammables and use responsibly.
Who’s grabbing one for their dad (or themselves)?
For years we were told America was declining.
That Europe had figured it out. That patriotism was cringe. That national identity was dangerous. That the future belonged to bureaucrats, technocrats, and people who thought flying a USA flag was somehow controversial.
Then the World Cup shows up.
Millions of people from around the world land in the United States and immediately start posting about the size of everything. The roads. The homes. The trucks. The gas stations. The food. The friendliness. The optimism.
And most importantly: freedom
That spirit is contagious.
And the timing couldn't be better.
All of this is happening as America approaches its 250th birthday. A quarter of a millennium after a handful of rebels looked at the most powerful empire on earth and said, "Nope. We'll do it ourselves."
The entire world is getting a front-row seat to the American experiment.
And from where I'm sitting, it looks good.
Happy 250th, America 🇺🇸
If you’re visiting for a very large sporting event & you happen to discover RANCH while you’re here… pls pack it in your CHECKED BAG on the way home.
Thank you.
Dr. Andrew Huberman just confirmed a “wild conspiracy theory” about incandescent lights and LED bulbs.
The long wavelengths found in incandescents increase your metabolism and “charge your mitochondria.”
Conversely, the LED bulbs that most of you have in your house are “causing disruptions in mitochondrial function.”
DR. ANDREW HUBERMAN: “Your mitochondria function better, you increase ATP production, your metabolism increases in the presence of red light, long wavelength light to the skin.”
“Shine long wavelength light on somebody, watch blood glucose levels in a blood glucose test, and it’s blunted.”
“Now, the LED lights that are commonly used now… that short wavelength light, in the absence of long wavelength light, has been shown to damage the mitochondria.”
“This used to be considered crazy. This was like chemtrail crazy, right?”
“But now we’re starting to see from animal studies and human studies, from Glenn Jeffreys and others, that people’s vision gets better when they get in front of an incandescent bulb once a day.”
“If they get sunlight, which also has long-wavelength light, your vision improves because of improvements in mitochondria.”
The Biden administration quietly pushed incandescents out of the market through aggressive energy regulations.
But you can still find them online today if you look hard enough.
If that health insight stood out to you, there’s a lot more where that came from.
The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.
And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way.
Here is what they are discovering:
Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s.
Then they found the grocery stores.
Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.
The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.
They finally understand why we do not have trains.
We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.
Why would we need trains.
The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas.
Welcome to America.
Everything is free, enormous, air conditioned, comes with chips, and has five grocery stores within a mile that will sell you any cut of any animal you have ever imagined.
Write that down. 🦋
Kinda crazy that the most patriotic thing that has happened this year for the 250th is having people from all over the world discover how great America is.
The World Cup hasn’t even started yet and this is already some of my favorite content.
Watching other cultures experience North America for the first time.
This is what it’s all about. 🧵
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Here is the first picture of @VP@JDVance and @SLOTUS from the new chicken coop at the Naval Observatory.
The Vances are seen holding one of their new chicks in the coop window, built by Carolina Coops and provided at no cost to taxpayers.
Vice President JD Vance put up a chicken coup outside the VP’s residence. A spokesperson tells me he will tend to the chickens. His kids already named the chicks. The coop was made by Carolina Coops, an American-owned small business which has been in business for 18 years. The owner Matt DuBoise pictured here after putting the coup up. #Chickens #FreshEggs #VP (pics courtesy Vice President Vance’s Office)
They want you to believe this happened in the LA Mayors race…
3rd place jumps to 1st in *every* ballot drop *after* Election Day
Defies all mathematical probability, the law of averages and has never happened in US election history
No one with a functional brain believes this
