The man who built the foundation for the Democratic Socialists of America would be sick to his stomach if he saw them today. This is the history they didn't teach you in school. The intellectual father of this movement, Michael Harrington, wasn’t just a socialist; he was a ferocious, unapologetic anti-communist.

He even called the Soviet Union a prison and knew that if you let communists into a movement, they won't collaborate—they will devour you from the inside out. Harrington spent his life building a wall to keep the radicals out. But the DSA officially tore down Harrington's wall. They willingly removed the guardrails against the very forces he fought against. If Michael Harrington were alive today, he wouldn't just be pissed—he would completely disavow the entire organization.

As you consider your vote this November, try to recall all the lies that we were told by the left over the last 10 years, and have now discovered are not true. Here's just a few. Please feel free to add to the list in replies to this:

- Climate change/global warming really is a hoax. - Biden did not actually win the 2020 election.
- January 6th was not an insurrection, it was a set-up.
- Trump did not collude with Russia, it was a set-up and massive conspiracy.
- Mass immigration by illegal means was not beneficial to the country, it was intended to cause chaos, rig the census to gain house seats, and create a massive fraud environment across multiple social services agencies.

I am sure you can add more leftest/democrat lies to the list. The point is it doesn't matter what party you're in, what race you are, or what your professors may have taught you.
Vote for truth and justice.
Vote for fiscal and economic sanity.

If you want the lies to finally stop. If you want to be a part of fixing this mess. If you want to Save America, you must get out and vote Republican this November. Or the lies will just continue.

Vote Republican, because this is the last election where your vote may ever mean a damn thing.

WANT TO KNOW HOW USAID WAS DESIGNED TO WORK? @MikeBenzCyber

Riddle me this, Ro Khanna.

If closing USAID could cause so many child deaths in Africa, why would the African Union's top diplomat in DC celebrate USAID's shutdown?

Does she like dead babies?

Is she ignorant?

How else do you explain her arriving at the same conclusion as DOGE?

This is:

New York City childcare services in AOC’s district—are paying $165,333 per migrant child, per year.

More than any American child across the United States.

Also, in AOC’s district, migrant prostitution runs rampant right next to all these daycares.**

📝There is a reason Democrats keep screaming “child care, child care.”

[Ben Bergquam - Real America’s Voice (RAV-TV) News @BenBergquam]

To all the idiots out there upset about the Supreme Court upholding the law and sending Haitians and Syrian illegals back home… listen up.

And the fake news, stop lying!

The vast majority of Haitian illegals that came across were actually from Chile and Brazil. They had spent years there and only came because of the open borders left who invited them. If you want to be upset at anyone for illegals being deported, be upset at the Democrats and the NGO’s who invited them in and profited off of the undermining of America.

This is insane! Per Fox News: "Government regulations now account for more than 26% of the cost of a typical newly built home, according to the National Association of Home Builders." It's a great example of regulatory largess making home ownership out of reach for most Americans.
@SenMcCormickPA @SenFettermanPA @RepSmucker please lead the way to fix this.

Nope. We're not in a civil war yet. Are we?

Terrorist Plot to 'Drone-Bomb' UFC At The White House FOILED...

-The attack involved explosive drones and snipers.
-The "second wave" of the plan involved storming The White House gates.
-The goal was to target "capitalist elites" and "billionaires".
-23 people were involved in the plot.
-5 are in custody so far.

Thank goodness it was stopped by the FBI..

[Goodcon @GoodCon]

@SenWarren Well, we're not going to live that long, so what's your point Ms. Econgenius?

[Goodcon @GoodCon]

Patriots won't be intimidated. After all, we have a lot more guns.

[TVman @BigDud2023]

@GuntherEagleman I believe these Antifa thugs are allegedly organized and paid by NGO's to show up to create anarchy. The media can then amplify the optics to look huge. The end point is to create fear and intimidate Patriots. This will fail!!

[Goodcon @GoodCon]

Why does it feel like we are in a civil war? At some point we have to admit the truth to ourselves. (Not advocating violence. But be on the defense.)

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

🚨CHAOS ERUPTS outside TPUSA Women’s Leadership Summit.

Masked ANTIFA radicals swarming entrances, assaulting cops, and hurling objects like animals.

These leftist thugs can’t stand conservative women gathering to lead. So they turn to violence.

The DHS shutdown is finally over

And the FISA 702 reauthorization vote just failed—because it didn’t contain a warrant to protect Americans from U.S. citizen queries

Long day

Big wins

[Americaforever @onetexgal9]

HOLY CRAP! Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) is now calling for GOP Senators to get STRIPPED of their Committee Chair assignments if they oppose nuking the zombie filibuster or would vote for Democrat amendments on the floor

"YOU GOT TO PLAY HARDBALL!" 🔥

"We've got several people that are not going to vote for filibuster, or they probably vote for some of the Democrat amendments. You say, listen, you do that. You're out as chairman of a committee. You're out. Immediately out."

"We're going to put somebody else in. Because that's the reason people stay here is to have power. But we do it because of seniority!"

"We don't do it because of merit. We don't have the best people in some of these chairmanship. So we've got to do the right thing."

"It starts at leadership. We're going to go in. I'm going to listen to it. And if we don't make changes, we go and try to beg people to do things. It doesn't work. Put their feet to the fire. Let's go to work and let's work with President Trump!"

Born in 57, I married a gal born in 62. We are both Generation Jones. We watched our older brothers and sisters rise to the top of the corporate world, but by the time it was our turn, corporate was already hiring young GenXers for the top tiers. My career focused on video surveillance, and I've worked with everything from tube imaging cameras to IP cameras. Everything from VCR multiplexed recordings to server-based video streaming management systems. Everything from bank branches to casinos. It was a wild ride. Happy to have kept up and experienced it all.

[Supersonic Redhead🛫 @Supersonic_Red]

There’s a generation a lot of people forget exists. We were born at the tail end of the Boomers, but we are not culturally the same as people born in the 40s and early 50s. We are Generation Jones.

And honestly, it explains a lot.

We grew up in a world that still felt fundamentally analog, but we were young enough to be dragged headfirst into the digital revolution. We are the bridge generation between rotary phones and smartphones, between slide rules and AI, between Walter Cronkite and algorithm driven media.

We remember when there were only a few television channels and the entire country watched the same thing at the same time. We also adapted to the internet, email, forums, social media, streaming and now artificial intelligence. We lived before and after the technological singularity hit everyday life.

That is not a small thing.

People born in the 40s came of age in a post World War II America that was still industrial, deeply hierarchical and institutionally stable. Their formative years were shaped by the Cold War, Vietnam, the civil rights era and a society where information moved slowly.

Generation Jones came later. We inherited the aftermath of all of that.

We were the kids who watched Watergate destroy blind trust in government. We watched manufacturing begin to collapse. We saw divorce rates explode. We were the first truly latchkey generation in massive numbers. We learned independence early because many of us had to.

We grew up with one foot in old America and one foot in whatever this new thing was becoming.

We played outside until the streetlights came on but we also learned DOS commands. We learned cursive and keyboarding. We had card catalogs and Google searches. We went from vinyl records to cassette tapes to CDs to MP3s to streaming in one lifetime.

We remember maps. We remember memorizing phone numbers. We remember life before GPS and before every human interaction became filtered through a screen.

And because of that, I think Generation Jones developed a very unique perspective. We are adaptable because we had no choice but to adapt. We learned technology as adults instead of being born into it. We remember a slower world but were forced to survive in a rapidly accelerating one.

That creates a very different mindset than either older Boomers or younger Gen X and Millennials.

A lot of us also reject the caricature people now associate with “Boomers.” We were not buying houses for the cost of a sandwich in 1965. The interest rate on my first house was over 14% and that was after buying down a point. Many of us got hit by recessions, outsourcing, pension collapses and economic instability just like younger generations did. We watched promises evaporate in real time.

We understand older generations because we were raised by them. We understand younger generations because we had to evolve alongside them.

That’s why the Jones generation often feels culturally homeless. We are rarely discussed, rarely defined and usually lumped into categories that don’t actually fit us.

But we exist.

We are the human transition point between the industrial age and the digital age.

And frankly, there will probably never be another generation quite like us again.
