@dchester2 @EricLDaugh I feel ya and agree however it's a lost vote if you go 3rd party. Hold your nose and vote for the party that tells you what you want to hear even if they govern the exact opposite.

This is what a 34-week-old baby looks like outside the womb.

In Virginia, democrat politicians are trying to make it legal to abort an unborn baby at this age.

The only difference is the child’s location.

HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM:

This is a well written and thought out article written by a 26 yr old college student by the name of Alyssa Ahlgren, who's in grad school for her MBA.

What a GREAT perspecitve...

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."

🚨 THE MISSISSIPPI MIRACLE THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO SEE 

American 15-year-olds just posted near-WORST scores ever on a key global reading and math test.

Meanwhile Mississippi, once ranked 47th in 4th grade reading… is now 9th.

Adjust for demographics?

NUMBER ONE in the nation in 4th grade reading and math.

NUMBER ONE in 8th grade math.

A Black child in Mississippi is 2.5X more likely to be proficient in reading by 4th grade than a child in California.

They spend about $11,000 LESS per student than Massachusetts and they’re beating them.

How?
Science of reading.
3rd grade retention if you can’t read.
Charters in failing districts.
School choice for special needs.
RAISED standards, not lowered them.

Governor Tate Reeves: conservative reforms + accountability work for EVERY kid.

Blue states keep dumbing it down.

Mississippi raised the bar, and the kids met it.

This is the model. Copy it.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

We’ve never seen anything like this before. A man was conscripted into jury duty by the government. He performed his civic duty and followed his conscience, refusing to acquit a woman who confessed to systematically executing her three children. The defense attorney immediately launched a public smear campaign against the juror. Soon several other jurors joined the campaign. Then the media. Even the defense attorney’s wife has joined. Now they’re doxxing the man, digging into his past, contacting his family, showing up at his house. All of this both to punish him for refusing to go with their program, and to pollute any future jury pool by making it clear that anyone who votes to convict Clancy will have their life destroyed. It’s truly one of the most outrageously evil things we’ve ever seen from the Left, and that’s saying something. A direct assault on the integrity of our justice system. They are burning down every boundary and standard in their path. And doing it all for the sake of a child murdering psychopath. Unfathomable.

@JayZEmc2 @warDaniel47 I guess I'm not a bozo. Do your research.

[Phil Horne @Ironpeddle]

First implant: Noland Arbaugh (quadriplegic after a 2016 diving accident), January 2024.
Company reported 21 trial participants worldwide by January 2026; later 2026 reporting put the total in the mid-20s, including sites in the U.S., Canada, UK, and UAE.
Users control computers, phones, and robotic arms by thought. Some reach cursor speeds comparable to a mouse. Arbaugh has used it for school, games, and daily communication; early thread retraction in his case was partly offset with software.
In May 2026, Neuralink did its first transdural implant (threads through the dura without cutting that membrane) at Toronto Western Hospital — meant to make surgery safer and easier to scale.

[Phil Horne @Ironpeddle]

Musk founded Neuralink, owns a controlling stake, funds and publicly represents it, and treats it as part of the same long-term project as Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI: medical restoration first, then a tighter human–machine interface. Day-to-day operations sit with Birchall and Seo; Musk is the owner and agenda-setter.

🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting in Charlotte NC after a man who planned MASS SH00TINGS at FIVE Charlotte NC schools was JUST LET OUT OF JAIL...

...just FOUR DAYS before those schools open for the year.

Read that again.

His name is Drew Owens, he's 31 and he's been arrested 6 times in Charlotte NC alone.

Back in February 2025, police say he sent threats to five CMS schools, Hawk Ridge Elementary, Community House Middle, Ardrey Kell and West Charlotte High, and Garinger High. Investigators say he laid out actual mass sh00ting plans for them.

He was charged with five felony counts of threatening mass violence on school property.

On Friday night, he posted bond and by Saturday morning, he walked out.

Charlotte school kids go back to class on TUESDAY.

One mom said it was her number one fear: "If he gets out, when will he get out, and will we know?"

Well, he's out, and it gets worse.

His OWN FATHER went to police.

He said his son had been harassing family, neighbors, and friends.

Sending threatening letters.
Sitting outside their homes.
His father even said Owens went to West Charlotte High and photographed his car, police believe to try to lure him out.

His own father took out a restraining order against him.

One neighbor said she is "constantly in fear for my life."

WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?!!!!!!

WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!
