The amount of self-hate Americans have towards their own history is truly unreal.

They defeated slavery by fighting against their own family.
They shut Europe out of the western hemisphere so that nations wouldn't live under colonization forever.
They had the ability to stay out of world war 1 but they went and died to help Europeans.
They had the ultimate power in the nuclear bomb. They also had access to all of Europe's colonies that were in shambles. But instead they promoted freedom. They rebuilt Japan and Germany after defeating them in war. They stood down the Soviet Union, even as the world jeered them.
They sent soldiers to places like Vietnam and Afghanistan that died TRYING to create a better world (even if you disagree with those wars, the intentions were fairly good)
And they sent more missionaries to the world than maybe any other country in history. Translated more Bibles into indigenous languages than any other country in history. Ran bigger charities than any other country in history. Created more Christian resources than any other country in history.

Whether it was stopping the Dutch from reconquering Indonesia to the Berlin Airlift to giving Cuba its freedom in the Spanish-American war to saving China from the Japanese America has at least ATTEMPTED to do good with its power.

Yes yes, America has problems. People are imperfect. But goodness gracious does the world have a lot to be grateful for in America. And when we could have taken SO much from the world we have often chosen not to. Rome, Britain, Mongols, Assyrians, Soviets, Chinese, no other group has ever shown the restraint America has consistently shown with such vast power at its fingertips.

We didn't even get into the GIGANTIC technological advances, consumer advances, convenient lifestyle changes America has pioneered. From electricity to space to the light bulb to the smart phone to many cures in medicine and agriculture to the airplane the world has been enormously blessed by America.

JUST IN: General "Raizin" Caine gives a detailed breakdown of the U.S. attack on Venezuela, says they were so detailed that they knew what Maduro ate and where his pets were.

- 150 aircraft involved.

- U.S. forces arrived at Maduro's compound at 1;01 a.m.

- Helicopters came under fire, but "replied with that fire with overwhelming force and self-defense."

- Maduro and his wife gave up and were taken into custody.

- The youngest crew member was 20, and the oldest crew member was 49.

- Preparation took several months.

- "Those in the air over Caracas last night were willing to give their lives for those on the ground and in the helicopters."

- "After months of work by our intelligence teammates to find Maduro and understand how he moved, where he lived, where he traveled, what he ate, what he wore, what were his pets..."

- The weather was just clear enough for the mission so aviators could operate.

- All U.S. soldiers are safe.

How does it end? Do we need to go over the edge before anything changes? 🤔

$38.4 trillion in debt
$2 trillion per year budget deficit
$1.2 trillion per year interest on the debt

We give away $70 billion per year in foreign aid to other countries. We borrow all of it, so we are paying interest FOREVER on the $70 billion per year that we give away.

We have given away over $3 trillion in foreign aid since WW2. It has all been added to the US national debt. That means we are now paying about $100 billion per year in interest payments on all of the money we have given away in the past 80 years.

[Brandon Avedikian @bavedikian]

You can’t get a $1 million mortgage if you make $100K/year.

You can’t get a $75K car loan if you make $35K/year.

The fact that you can get $250K in student loans for a college degree where you’re expected to earn $40K/year is unacceptable and a complete failure of US society.

We have 18 year old kids making financial decisions that all but guarantee a lifetime of economic insecurity.

These kids do not have the capacity to understand the implications of the debt they are taking on.

The corrupt university system has successfully convinced them going to college is the “smart thing to do” and that it will all work out.

These colleges should have to take the financial hit when they load up 18 years olds with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt that basic math would tell you will never be repaid.

The federal government backstopping all these student loans does nothing but enable colleges to jack up their prices every year with zero accountability.

Shameful.

American doctor goes over how Barack Obama destroyed American Healthcare

Before Obamacare in 2010
- A family of 4 had $13,000 per year in premiums with a $3,000 deductible

Now in 2025
- A family of 4 had $35,000 per year in premiums with a $6,000 deductible

“Obamacare has now been around for 15 years and the promise was that it was gonna save us dramatically on our healthcare spending and make us healthier.

- And if you look at 2010 for a family of four, their premiums were about $13,000 and they had about $3,000 to $4,000 in deductibles

- Now you go to 2025, that has jumped to $35,000 about a $5,000 to $6,000 deductible.

What's happening now is we have what's called functionally uninsured patients. That means they have insurance, they think that they're okay, then they get sick, they go to the ER, they present their magic insurance card, and they find out they have a $5,000 deductible.

That means they have to pay $5,000 before the first dollar of coverage. Now, the ER for sure is going to eat up that $5,000 deductible. What that means is patients now have ongoing medical debt.

So has Obamacare saved us money? No, unfortunately not.

What it has done is made the system very, very complex. You've had the growth of very small to moderate insurance companies to huge insurance companies. There's now 7 insurance companies that are in the Fortune 500 right now.”

Average US family health insurance premium...
1999: $6k
2003: $9k
2007: $12k
2011: $15k
2015: $18k
2019: $21k
2023: $24k
2025: $27k

That's a 365% increase since 1999 (6.1% per year).

(Note: US CPI inflation has increased 2.6%/year)
