What a great observation Batya! Interesting how the left emphasizes all there is to hate about our country and The Athletic had a piece with the writer sounding embarrassed to host the very people that love visiting. If our country is so horrible, why is it that so many people risk their lives to come in illegally over literally thousands of miles?

I am reminded of Boris Yeltsen in the supermarket. Now these visitors need to go home and fix Europe.

I have a 440 yard shooting range on my land.

My German cousins can't believe it.

And they can't believe that I can own the guns that I have.

The concept of regulation is so ingrained in Europeans that they are almost overwhelmed by our rights (yes, not privileges).

There’s a reason people flock here by the millions. To quote Creed from The Office -,I already won the lottery , I was born in the USA baby .

Thanks for this. Brought a smile to my face. I don’t think I would have seen it. Otherwise if you hadn’t posted it.

I have been living for this too. I realize we’re talking about soccer hooligans here, so maybe American culture is more palatable to them. I am heartened because I think the media is all too happy to tell us how negatively Europeans feel about our country right now. It’s just another way they are trying to manufacture division. So to see that they are embracing us like this is very charming like you said.

They seem to understand that Real America is not the America that our (and their) elitist media make us out to be.

Mississippi is wealthier than the UK. They are pitiful. How the mighty have allowed themselves to fall.

Batya, glad our visitors got to experience a Bucee’s. Nothing shouts American freedom like 120 gas’s pumps and 200 varieties of beef sticks…. Everyone loves Bucee’s

Josh and Jace have been traveling around the US for months and months. They are here, then back to the UK. They have said they feel more American and love it here. One just brought his few months old baby.

As I read Jews and the Left and that “Jackson had closed ranks around its Jews” it too lightens my heart to stop for a moment and take in the Europeans and Nations of the world enjoying America, no apologies.

This is fantastic. These Europeans are in awe for what we take for granted. I’m buying a bottle of ranch dressing to celebrate.

I dunno, Batya. I think its clear the Walmart guy is mocking us. "Look how many ingredients they have in a loaf of bread!"

He definitely loves the size and quantity of things.

Merica! The 'free refills` is a double-edged sword but missed when not available.
