Let’s be 100% real! If this tragedy was 2 white men killing a black Penn student Philadelphia would be on fire right now. Krasner and his crocodile tears would vow to bring them to justice, and the mayor will be screaming like a lunatic from whatever podium she was at. But since Billy is a white kid, it’s silence from all. absolutely disgusting!! #JusticeforBilly

[House Republicans @HouseGOP]

Every single Democrat voted against securing the border.

Why? As @RepMeuser points out, counting illegal immigrants in the census shifts representation and federal dollars away from American citizens.

Great ad for mass deportations!

My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!
I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.

I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.

Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.

We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!

Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??

Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."

Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.

When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.

My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.

Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.

People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.

Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.

We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."

California has a requirement for Native American shamans to oversee many of the "controlled burns" that are desperately needed to prevent wildfires.

Gabriel Mann, a Choctaw Indian, says this requirement is insane. @Hotshot_Movie

Mayor Zohran Mamdani hosted a Pride party at NYC Town Hall, where he announced a $15 MILLION investment into "gender affirming care," aka genital mutilations.

Your taxes are being used to perform sex change surgeries on mentally ill people.

Wouldn't it be great if transit in the Greater Philly Area were private again, and this station were called The Old Broad? End of the Line for the Frankford El, The Del-Evated Airport Line, The Market Speed Line, The Norristown Speed Line, The Frazer Speed Line, The Chestnut Hill West B3, and The Fox Chase B3. Docks for the Delaware River Ferries.
Delaware River to Delaware Ave, Market to Chestnut

Ever since USAID was defunded and thousands of NGO contracts were cancelled, left wing parties are losing in Central and South America.

Right-wing presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori just won the Peru election. This continues the trend of other countries rejected socialism.

When I was the Air Force Military Aide to Bill Clinton (and again, that was not a political appointee position, it was a military assignment), I served daily with very young staffers who were appointed because of their efforts in the campaign or who their parents were.

I really enjoyed interacting with most of them. Bright kids from Ivy League school. But their naïveté and lack of experience showed. Dramatically.

One day I was walking across the White House “campus,” the “18 acres,” and I encountered one of the young female staffers. We chatted for a bit, and she asked me, “So, why did you join the military? Were your career options limited or were you forced to by a judge?”

I wanted to throat punch her, but I said, “No, ma’am, I volunteered.”

She asked, “But why? Lack of education? No other options?”

“No, ma’am, I volunteered. Really. Not only do I have a Bachelor’s but also an MBA.”

She asked again, “Then why?”

I shook my head and walked away. They simply can’t understand a higher calling. They are incapable of understanding that another human who would selflessly serve.

Therein lies much of the Democrat vs. military disconnect. They’re missing the patriotism chip.

Update: ~49% more propane has been shipped from the US mainland to Puerto Rico under the Jones Act waiver's first 80 days than the combined 22-year span of 2004-2025 (542,000 barrels vs 364,000 barrels).

[Next Philly Mayor 🏆 @nextphlmayor]

A senseless killing in South Philadelphia this weekend… all over a cell phone.

Yes, crime is down in Philadelphia… but that doesn’t mean the work is done.

This type of violence can never be accepted as normal or “just part of city life.”

Now need to find the killer.

@tamermorsy They sure do vote that way.

@JamesPhl96 South Broad and League Island Blvd. No further! That is where the Rail Is (future Del-evated, future 25th Skyway BRT, future South 11th subway people mover, future terminus of the 69th-Sharron Hill-Airport-Philly Navy Red Arrow)
