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

Been living in London for 3 years and every time I come back to the US, I have to recalibrate.

When you're overseas, you tend to forget what real abundance feels like, so much so, I just stood there in the granola aisle, mouth open, brain completely short-circuited as I stared at a ridiculous wall of infinite choice.

Bajillions of brands, flavors, and innovations - chocolate peanut butter banana crunch, maple pecan espresso, keto, paleo, collagen-packed, probiotic, gluten-free, protein-loaded, you name it. I was straight-up paralyzed by options.

The French call it “embarras de choix” - embarrassment of choice. That overwhelming feeling when there are simply too many great things to pick from. It’s usually used positively or neutrally (the options are desirable), but the “embarrassment” highlights the mild frustration, guilt and indecision it causes.

But Americans don’t get embarrassed by it. At all.

Because they don't feel guilt about having MORE.

It is the Land of Plenty for a reason. It’s easy to start a food company here, it's easy to build brands, and it's easy to just employ / fire people.

That freedom unleashes relentless innovation and variety, feeding an unstoppable demand for better, tastier, healthier, crazier options.

No wonder Europeans lose their minds the first time they step into a Costco.

American abundance is a policy and cultural choice.

THE INSPIRATION OF AMERICA

Next to the entrance of The Red House, the Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago in the capital of Port of Spain, there is this marble inscription. It is clear that it is inspired by our 1776 Declaration of Independence and America’s founding principles. Trinidad’s population is 99% either Indian (from India), African, or a mix of the two. 64% are Christian, 21% Hindu, 6% Moslem, others undeclared – and all have these principles as a common bond between them.

Here in the Caribbean’s Trinidad is such a clear example of how America’s founding moral principles are such an inspiration to all humanity, of all cultures, creeds, and ethnicities. They are universal, America’s heritage as a gift to the world. This is the heritage of all Americans – something we need to cherish is we celebrate the 250th
anniversary of our nation’s birth. (photo ©Jack Wheeler)

🧵 This map shows oil reserves across the US & Canada. Look at Michigan. The oil is there, literally under your feet. Yet Michigan produces only about 4.8 million barrels of crude oil per year... while hitting residents with a 4.25% state income tax.

Meanwhile, Texas:
Over 2 billion barrels produced in 2024, $27.3 billion in oil & gas tax revenue and royalties. That's $74.8 million generated EVERY single day - supporting 492,000+ jobs with average pay around $128K/year... And ZERO state income tax.

Texas doesn’t tax its citizens to death to fund the state. It DRILLS.

Michigan collects roughly $13–14 billion a year from income taxes on your paychecks (a huge chunk of the state budget). If Michigan simply matched 10% of Texas’ production (200 million barrels), that’s roughly $2.7 billion in new annual revenue.

Match 50%? That could wipe out the entire state income tax. The oil is sitting there. Your politicians chose to tax you instead of develop it.

It's well past time to DRILL, MICHIGAN, DRILL!

-MAGA arrests, de-banking

Remember this

[RedWave Press @RedWavePress]

NASA pilot Victor Glover CLAPS back after being asked what it means to be the first black man to visit the moon: “It’s the story of humanity, not black history, not women’s history, but that it becomes human history.”

“I also HOPE we are pushing the other direction that one day we don’t have to talk about these first. That one day, this is just—and listen to this—that this is the human history.”

I have never heard a presidential moment as powerful as, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall," until last night:

"If you agree with this statement, then stand up: 'The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.'"

That is the EASIEST applause line ever presented in American politics. Yet, the Democrats stayed seated and showed us exactly how UN-AMERICAN they are.

President Trump calling the US men right after their gold medal victory is phenomenal. He invites them to the state of the union, says US women’s team has to visit the White House with them or he’ll get impeached.

Canada was this close to winning a World Series championship and a Gold Medal

Westerners are willing to lose their culture, heritage, religion, and civilization to prove that they are tolerant of those invading them, and mounting them, their children, and their women. It is astonishing.

The Tigers should wear an alternate jersey based on Thomas Magnum's shirt at least once a season. I’m going to keep saying this every year until someone in that organization finally listens to me.

Journalist Alex Newman delivers a flawless 90-second summary of the climate agenda:

"The notion that CO₂ is pollution is absolutely preposterous... But from a totalitarian perspective, if you can convince people that CO₂ is pollution, there's no human activity that doesn't result in CO₂ emissions."

"Every single aspect of your life, then, if we submit to the idea that CO₂ is pollution, then comes under the regulatory control of the people who claim to be saving us from pollution

Capitalism assumes people are self-interested.

Socialism assumes planners aren't.

One of these is realistic.

Me before Rubio’s speech:

Europe is so lame

Me after:

I’m Scots-Irish and German. I’m a proud son from a long line of Christian European colonialist conquerors that swept across the globe to bring stability, prosperity, technology and the one true God to godless heathens

Pay into Social Security or invest into a low risk Total Stock Market Index Fund for 45 years..

How much would you get per month during retirement?

SS: ~$2,300

Index Fund at 5% return: $3,961
Index Fund at 7% return: $7,087
Index Fund at 10% return: $17,839

It’s all a scam.
