It’s easy to get jaded and discouraged these days about the state of our country—I know I do. We’ve got trains spilling toxic waste in the Midwest, eggs cost a beak and a wing and our president is probably shoving classified documents into his pants as we speak.

It’s true, the United States is far from perfect. But I also think it’s good to pause periodically and remember why we’re still the MVP of the world—idiots in charge or not.

U.S. Senator Mike Lee of Utah recently unleashed this thread of truth on his Twitter and I think we can all appreciate the sentiment.

1. America’s AWESOME in spite of its government. Here’s an example: while the U.S. military deliberately kept all of us in the dark about the Chinese spy balloon, a private citizen—Larry Mayer, a photographer with The Billings Gazette—caught it on camera and told us about it.

2. Without Larry Mayer (or someone like him along the balloon’s long, deliberate surveillance tour through America), we might never have learned about the balloon—even as it was hovering over some of our most sensitive military installations.

3. The U.S. government didn’t employ Larry Mayer or pay him to keep the American people informed. He just did it because he loves this country and wants to keep his fellow Americans informed.

4. This is why America’s in good hands—in the hands of its own people. It also differentiates us from China, where the people suffer under the yoke of oppression, lacking the freedom to express their own views and release pictures they take without the government’s permission.

5. We need to be especially suspicious of any effort within our own government to commandeer information and hide it from the people—especially information that might be essential to their ability to assess obvious threats to their own safety and that of our country.
— Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee) February 16, 2023

6. We all have not only the right, but also the obligation to be skeptical of our government—especially when it keeps us in the dark about things we have every right to know.

7. Beware of those who ask you to put blind faith in the same military experts who hide from you information the people—as citizens in a free, constitutional republic—have the right to receive, and need to know in order to remain in charge of their own government.

8. I’m not proud of how our military handled this—as a situation in which the people had to be kept in the dark. But I couldn’t be more proud of the American people, especially Larry Mayer, the photographer with The Billings Gazette. God bless America!
— Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee) February 16, 2023

9. Bottom line: TRUST THE PEOPLE; BE SKEPTICAL OF GOVERNMENT.
— Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee) February 16, 2023

SO. TRUE. Despite all the crazy we’ve got going on, our country is still home to a lot of good people and the best group project there ever was (the Constitution).

America do be special, and we’ve got to remember that as we fight to protect our way life.

Cheers to Mike Lee for some encouragement, and GOD BLESS AMERICA, INDEED.
