Gisteren verscheen weer de Amerikaanse Toestanden nieuwsbrief, over 'Rededicate250' van afgelopen zondag en de vraag of Amerika een christelijk land is. Wat bedoelt men met 'Amerika is een christelijk land'? Wat willen die christenen bereiken? open.substack.com/pub/amerik…

Doomerism is indispensable to Christian nationalists, because it is only the downfall of democracy that can make patriarchal authoritarianism palatable. But it turns out that when you try to impose the patriarchy back onto a society that has already embraced liberalism, you mainly remind people of why they chose liberalism in the first place. nytimes.com/2026/06/14/opini…

Carney: Canada is a mosaic, not a melting pot. And this is the distinction that matters. Because a mosaic doesn't dissolve or blend its pieces. Each is stitched to each and all the pieces hold all. And the beauty is in the arrangement, not in the blending.

Stadiums and tech companies are your metric for living standard?
The gap in living standards between Europe and America is due to policy choices. A lot of the investment that European World Cup tourists are now marveling at has become possible thanks to trillions in U.S. tech wealth. That wealth is available to anyone who participates in the stock market, not just tech founders. And Europe? It doesn’t have major tech companies. It regulates them out of existence. They have an entire regulatory framework built — GDPR — around the imaginary problem of data privacy. The results? No stadiums like ours in every city. No 24 hour gas stations with 50 types of food.

They are trying sooooo hard….
The European mind cannot handle that they just sort of suck. In every regard. Behind in technology, behind in behavior, sitting on a throne of self-perceived superiority. They will only say negative things because it’s America. They’ve been brainwashed to think we’re stupid, evil, and the worst people. Yet all the Europeans here have said nothing but how great the country is. How great we are as hosts. They’re having a blast and everyone is treating them well. This will be one of the best World Cups ever and already is. No matter how much they try to lie and seethe from their broken couch at home, we will all enjoy one of the best World Cups in years.

The big problem with these UFC fights for Trump is that they reinforce the idea that he's is out of touch with Americans. Just 16% say these fights are appropriate. Even just 31% of the GOP do. This comes as 60% of voters & 80% of indies say the White House is out of touch.

Hegseth: President Trump has made us energy independent at home. We are a net exporter. Brennan: Yeah. Energy prices are pretty high right now so I don't know that the independence is helping at the pump.

The one thing that RFK Jr is doing that makes sense is to try to improve food quality in the US. It may taste great, but it is by and large rather unhealthy.
American food is incredible, by taste, choices available, portion sizes and nutrition. European preconceived notions about American food are either misguided propaganda or cope.
