Happy birthday America! I am very proud, No, I am extremely proud to be a Christian American! Born and raised in this beautiful land, which I love! Yes, I love America! #USA
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 Iām privileged to reside once again in the States.
And here's something I've noticed, and itās 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 democraciesāthe United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)āa counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.
Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.
This happens sometimes in the United States tooāparticularly 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
God bless America. Itās the most remarkable country in the history of the world.
Donāt let anyone talk you into hating it. This nation was founded by men who walked under Godās providence, who knew they were part of something bigger than themselves.
You and I are some of the luckiest people to ever live. Just by being born here, now, weāve been handed a gift most of human history never got. We should thank God for that every single day.
Before I hit send on tomorrowās newsletter, I want to ask you something.
If I gave you 10 years to accomplish your biggest goalā¦
Would you make a different decision today than if I gave you 6 months?
I think you would.
In fact, I think thatās one of the biggest reasons so many smart people stay stuck.
I spent years believing more options meant better decisions.
Iām starting to think the opposite is true.
Tomorrowās newsletter is about the āthird filterā Iāve been using this year thatās changed the way I make decisions in business. I wish Iād learned it a long time ago.
If you want to read it when it drops tomorrow morning, link is in the post below.
I think this might be the most practical thing Iāve written all year.
Best angle of this clip. Sophie stirred up an entire league by simply pointing a finger. They do not like the fearless, straight white girl calling them on their crap.
@thirdmetax Also, if someone calls you a mean word and even if you can prove it, you still donāt have any right to physically assault them. Have some self control. People say mean things all the time. Pretending you suddenly have a right to assault them for saying that mean word is idiotic.
Democrats in 2024 promised to:
- Pack the Court, to eliminate your civil rights.
- Confiscate all of your firearms.
- Make DC a state, giving them two Mamdani-level Senators and an untouchable majority.
Passing the Save America Act is the only way to stop their plan!
Country singer Carrie Underwood shows off a patriotic display of American flags near her property in Tennessee ahead of the nationās 250th birthday. šŗšø
"I canāt believe I get to live here. Thank you, Lord," Underwood wrote on Instagram.
Amendment 5 is great for all Missourians!
*It Constitutionally mandates a phase down & elimination of MO's regressive tax on paychecks, labor, & income.
*It Constitutionally mandates that any changes to MO's antiquated, regressive taxation system be done in a revenue neutral (or better) fashion.
*It Constitutionally requires local governments to reduce local taxes: property & personal property taxes.
*It provides a pathway for the current, historically tax cutting #MOLeg to update MO's broken system of taxation by providing the opportunity to eliminate as many of MO's 1200+ special interest, lobbyist driven exemptions, carve outs, & loopholes & its bloated $500M+ per year tax credit system as possible. Whoever continues to defend this current system is not a serious person, and/or has no concept of free market, growth driven, state tax policy.
*The plan will migrate MO's current system of taxation from a regressive income tax model, full of carve outs, loopholes, exemptions, and tax credits, to a broad based, low, flat, consumption based, fair tax system. This is the system championed by brilliant free market economists like Thomas Sowell and Milton Friedman and by Presidents Reagan & Trump.
*The Governor has stated he will not sign any plan that does not include exemptions for healthcare, agriculture, & real estate.
*Legislators have stated any sales tax adjustment will continue to be one that is BELOW all the single digit rates of all of our neighboring states. To not do so would be ridiculous. MO will continue to have one of the lowest state sales tax rates in the Midwest & beyond.
*This new system will result in a net REDUCTION in the overall tax burden for ALL Missourians, and will provide a massive incentive for businesses & empoyers, big and small, to GROW MISSOURI! So let's GO MISSOURI! #YesOn5 #AxTheTax
Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, Iām releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing howĀ Dr.Ā FauciĀ provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked withĀ politicizedĀ elements within the Intelligence Community toĀ suppress the truth about his actions and hideĀ the virusā lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. Itās time you know the truth.

By forcing players to promote political and religious beliefs that they disagree with on pain of discipline, @MLB is betraying a core tenet of American law and civic culture.
I will open an investigation if MLB fails to respond to my letter by June 25.
Missouri law prohibits discrimination based on religious beliefs.
My office is demanding that @MLB not discriminate against players for their faith. If MLB refuses to comply, we will take action.
