World Cup in America!

 The last time the World Cup was in America was in 1994.  Brazil won, so no surprise there!

What stands out about this World Cup is the reaction of Europeans to America.

They see how much freer it is here and how our economy (sorta) works as opposed to "socialist" Britain and Germany were people are sent to jail for internet memes or praying in public.  I am sure it is a shock to what they have been told what America is like.

It is not perfect.  Never was, never will be but at least it is not a failing nightmare that Western Europe as turned into.

The Europeans visiting remind me of Soviet citizens who made it out over the Iron Curtain and see how badly Moscow was lying to them about the West.  Now, Russia in 2026 appears freer than Western Europe.  

These Europeans will go home and tell everyone about what they have seen and how dictatorial "democratic" governments are. 

Let's see the change.

I bet London and Berlin try to crack down on dissent even more.

You have seen that story before...
