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."
OH MY GOSH!
I don’t know what to say.
President Trump just called for the SAVE America Act to be attached to budget reconciliation 3.0.
Reconciliation packages only require a simple majority in the Senate.
This means that we could secure our elections with 51 votes.
ActBlue accepted foreign money and donations under fake names.
They knew about it and failed to stop it.
And when we asked them about it, they all took the 5th.
🚨 PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST NOW: "THE SAVE AMERICA ACT!
1. ALL VOTERS MUST SHOW PHOTO I.D. (IDENTIFICATION!).
2. ALL VOTERS MUST SHOW PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP.
3. NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS (EXCEPT FOR ILLNESS, DISABILITY, MILITARY, OR TRAVEL!).
4. NO MEN IN WOMEN’S SPORTS.
5. NO TRANSGENDER MUTILIZATION SURGERY FOR OUR CHILDREN."
Get it done. They CHEAT.
Exclusive: GiveSendGo will now shut down the fundraiser for Karmelo Anthony after his murder conviction
The fundraising platform will release a statement in supporting & praying for the Metcalf family
GiveSendGo has now changed their policy for fundraising for violent offenders
20 years ago, An Inconvenient Truth put climate change at the center of global debate, shaping politics, influencing leaders, and inspiring a generation of activists.
Two decades later, we can assess not just its impact, but its accuracy. Many of the film’s most alarming predictions did not materialize, while many of the policies it inspired have proven costly and ineffective.
The lesson? Panic is a poor guide for public policy. Focusing on innovation, adaptation, and economic development can do far more to help both people and the climate—at a fraction of the cost.

Bingo.
If there’s one silver lining to Spencer Pratt’s election being stolen, it’s that even Democrats now see how rigged our elections are in blue cities.
There were plenty of moderate Democrats in LA who voted for Pratt b/c they don’t want their cities burning to the ground.
And they will never forget how their votes were stolen.
Thousands of ballots found dumped in a Sonoma Valley, CA dumpster.
‘Nothing to see here’ — says the party that keeps calling elections the most secure in history.

Democracy vs. Constitutional Republic
"The word "democracy" appears ZERO times in the Constitution. It also does not appear in the Declaration of Independence, nor does it appear in any of the Constitutions of the 50 states."
Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution mandates: "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government", therefore explicitly establishing America as a Republic, NOT a democracy.
So the democrats are LYING when they call America a "democracy."
Democracy = mob rule = tyranny.
That's EXACTLY what they want, which is likely why they use the word repeatedly.
Why aren't we taught about this in school?
🚨 BREAKING: Governor DeSantis is calling for the IMMEDIATE IMPEACHMENT of Judge Tiffany Baker.
Judge Baker released a child rapist who was a KNOWN danger to society.
While out on bail, the rapist tortured and killed a 5 year old little girl.
Should she be impeached?
When's the last time you heard Mike Johnson talk like this
You're looking at the next Speaker of the house....and after that..who knows, Brandon Gill is a rising star and the future of this party
Don't let those boyish looks fool you, this guy is for real... & he's one of us
🚨 JUST NOW: Karmelo Anthony supporter says Karmelo should’ve kiIIed Austin’s twin brother HUNTER as well
And the Karmelo group AGREES with her.
They’re OPENLY calling for MURDER. This was NEVER about self-defense. Some of them just want to see white people murdered in cold blood.
They can’t be reasoned with.
“BOTH of the brothers should’ve been dead, if you ask me.”
Disgusting.
Attorney Will Chamberlain’s BRILLIANT idea to fix California's election ballot counting.
Speaker Mike Jonson has the authority to REFUSE to seat Representatives from California.
"Article 1 Section 5 says each House is the judge of the qualifications of its own members.”
“So, here's my basic idea: Mike Johnson in the House when it comes time to actually seat the representatives from California—any representative who wasn't ahead on election day, you don't even provisionally seat them. And you refer to them the committee that evaluates these things… And they have to show up and prove that they've won legitimately. And if they can't do that, then they don't get sat and California can go back and do a special election again."
"If Republicans simply say, 'We think your election results are toilet paper, and we're the judge of our own members. So, we're just not going to seat you.”
“Like, up to you guys if you want to change how your election processes work in the next six months, do it or don't. But if you don't, and you want us to seat people who then win in this bizarre and manner, well, we're just not going to do it."
I can't believe I'm saying this, but Susan Collins is our path forward.
We have 50 votes.
End the filibuster. Secure our elections.
Leader Thune not on board? Get a new leader.

🚨For those who say there is NO election fraud in California:
The DOJ just prosecuted Brenda Brown for paying homeless people to register to vote under FALSE addresses.
OMG caught her on hidden camera doing this illegal activity in LA.
