@FarmGirlCarrie I remember the bicentennial well! All afternoon, my cousins and I shot bottle rockets toward a convenience store that was run by foreigners and somehow didn’t get in any trouble. I was 12, unsupervised and in Texas. ‘Murica!!

@dtp1989 @TaraBull You mistake a gifted statue from France with the liberty that is only found in Christ. They are definitely not the same thing, and your confusion on this suggests you’re confused about other things as well.

[Domesticated Ranger @realRonLink]

@dtp1989 @TaraBull You sound line you’re so heavenly minded that you’re no earthly good. God gave some of us the great blessing of being born in a country with the freedom to love and serve Him. Or not to.

And it’s with that liberty that we show not performative but genuine love for Him.

A 12 pound brisket, smoked all night long, with corn on the cob, potato salad, and more…

Today’s Independence Day cookout was like big mouthfuls of FREEDOM!

America! Best country on earth!

America turns 250 today.

Let me read back the resume.

We started by telling a king to pound sand, in writing.

By 1803 we bought half a continent from France for about four cents an acre.

We fought a war with ourselves and somehow stayed one country.

We strung a railroad across the entire thing.

We handed the world the lightbulb, the telephone, and the airplane in about thirty years flat.

Then a man named Willis Carrier invented air conditioning and made half the planet actually livable.

You are welcome, Texas. You are welcome, Dubai.

Twice the whole world caught fire, and twice we showed up and helped put it out.

We split the atom.

We put men on the moon in 1969.

Then we went back and hit golf balls up there, because why not.

We invented jazz, blues, rock and roll, and hip-hop, and the whole planet is still dancing to it.

We put a burger and fries on every corner of the earth.

We built rockets that fly themselves home and land standing straight up.

We flew a helicopter on Mars.

We launched a car into actual space and it is still out there cruising.

We also invented ranch dressing and somehow talked the entire world into putting it on pizza.

Priorities.

We even invented three of our own sports so we could win them.

Baseball, basketball, and football.

Real football, the kind with hands, because we named it and we are not taking corrections.

The rest of the planet can keep soccer, which is fine, we are hosting it in our backyard this summer anyway.

And yes, Canadian football exists, wider field, extra man, one fewer down, and we try very hard not to think about it.

Frankly it was generous of us to invent our own games.

If we put all that energy into soccer, nobody else would ever lift that trophy again.

We would win it so often they would just rename it the America’s Cup and hand us the keys.

You are welcome for the suspense.

And in 2026 we threw a birthday so big a German tourist live-tweeted our gas stations to 750,000 people.

Not every chapter was clean.

We argued, we stumbled, we fixed what we broke, and we kept building.

That is the whole trick.

Two hundred and fifty years in, and we are still the loudest, brightest, most improbable experiment on the map.

Not bad for a country that started as a strongly worded letter to a king.

Happy birthday, America.

@H08BIT The answer is 18. 3x3=9 and 9x2=18. Same pattern as the other two problems.

[Domesticated Ranger @realRonLink]

@MahikRani50377 Yes! You’re absolutely correct! There’s not a single place in the entire country that would accept a bill in that condition, right?

Quit whining. That sawbuck will spend as easily as a freshly minted one.

If you don’t like the money you make from delivery, find another job.

@ThrillaRilla369 Man buns, skinny jeans and poor fashion sense.

[Domesticated Ranger @realRonLink]

@sarahtexe Tell us you have never bought a gun without telling us that you have never bought a gun…

[Domesticated Ranger @realRonLink]

@sarahtexe I think it would be weird because that would mean there are an unbelievable number of ICE agents to be able to have them at all the polling places.

A better option is to show ID to one of the polling volunteers at the entrance before they give you a ballot so you can vote.

[Domesticated Ranger @realRonLink]

@ThrillaRilla369 When I worked at Taco Bell as a teen, we did. And everyone knows that Taco Bell is absolutely authentic Mexican food. You know, just like they do it in the Old Country.

[Domesticated Ranger @realRonLink]

@RightScopee I’d be outraged if I worked as diligently, innovatively and creatively as Elon Musk and was still making less than $100k per year.

Creating products & services that people want/need is what capitalism is all about, and it works for those who actually work.

Good job, Elon!

[Domesticated Ranger @realRonLink]

@MLFootball Pro tip for this situation:

There is a skinny pedal on the floor. Push it all the way down. Ignore any thumping under tires.

You’re welcome.

[Domesticated Ranger @realRonLink]

@WolfgangRichtEU Or, you could invent or develop things that the world needs/wants, and sell those things, generating income of your own, and use that to clean oceans and feed people.
But you’d rather take from one who has already put in the work.
Makers vs takers.
That’s tyrannny, not utopia.

[Domesticated Ranger @realRonLink]

@GuntherEagleman If I was Elon Musk, I’d be trying to figure out why I am suddenly driving a 2008 Chevy Tahoe with a big V8 motor and a lousy stereo in a rural town in Georgia…

[Domesticated Ranger @realRonLink]

@Chicago_Daisy Can you imagine what Congress would look like if Elon applied the DOGE (Dept of Govt Efficiency) approach?

We’d have to start from scratch to find 535 new people to fill up the congress!

[Domesticated Ranger @realRonLink]

I think it’s amazing that the world’s first trillionaire is a genuine African American!

[Domesticated Ranger @realRonLink]

@playmatejaylene @LindaTraitz Elon Musk- a legitimately successful African American!

[Domesticated Ranger @realRonLink]

@SenWarren This isn’t the flex you think it is, Pocahontas.

The typical American household isn’t launching rockets into space, putting satellites in orbit, & preparing to fly men to Mars.

Elon has earned his trillion by working hard and being very innovative.

Merit-based wealth works!
