@JonathanTurley What do these people think we do to live? Everyone has to have an ID to do anything in this country. I’m older and rural and I have my ID and guess what, I even have a passport. 🤔
I saw Steven Spielberg's "Disclosure Day" last night. It's worth seeing and VERY worth discussing afterwards. If the conspiracy theories are true that it's a psy-op to prepare us for a real disclosure day, then the ending is REALLY important. I don't believe it is, but the government has used Hollywood for propaganda for decades. So, we need to have this conversation.
Keep two things in mind when you see it: predictive programming (the idea that entertainment can preload the public with ideas years in advance) and cultivation theory (the theory that heavy media consumption cultivates your sense of reality).
And a third thing: Always ask WHO profits from the fear.

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."
Remember when we were told nobody was coming for your gas appliances?
The Biden Administration spent years defending regulations that would have effectively pushed many gas furnaces and water heaters out of the marketplace. It survived in lower court until the Supreme Court vacated the ruling
For years, hospitals kept Americans in the dark about the true cost of care. Families made medical decisions without knowing the price—and too often got hit with bills that drained their savings.
That ends now.
Under President Trump’s leadership, HHS is enforcing hospital price transparency with real consequences. @DrOzCMS and I have a simple message for hospitals: Post your actual prices. Come into compliance immediately—or face serious consequences.
In a new video from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Elder Geritt W. Gong of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles explores “how to hear God’s voice clearly in an age of artificial intelligence (AI), and why that distinction matters more now than ever.”
“Can artificial intelligence replace God?” Elder @GerritWGong asks in the hour-long, gospel workshop video now available on YouTube. “That question may sound provocative, but in an age when we turn to algorithms for answers, guidance and even comfort, it matters deeply.”

The person sleeping beside you is not your companion for a life. They are your companion for a forever you cannot yet imagine. Theirs is an intelligence that was never made and cannot be, a light older than the foundations of the world. You knew that face before the veil fell over your remembering, and you will know it again when it lifts. Light cleaves to light by a law older than time. You did not find this person. You recognized them.
The eternal marriage you are building in the small hours of ordinary days is a throne for two. The door to the highest heaven opens only for those who walk through it together. So forgive faster than your pride allows. Stay softer than it wants you to. The One who sealed you meant forever when He said it.
The kingdom He is preparing is not somewhere else you will go. It is this same love grown vast and unafraid, two lights become one fire that will outlast the stars. The only question is whether you will live as though you believed Him.
