The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.

And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way.

Here is what they are discovering:

Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s.

Then they found the grocery stores.

Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.

The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.

They finally understand why we do not have trains.

We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.

Why would we need trains.

The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas.

Welcome to America.
Everything is free, enormous, air conditioned, comes with chips, and has five grocery stores within a mile that will sell you any cut of any animal you have ever imagined.

Write that down. 🦋

This was right after the election and shows only 1 of the people Dana mentioned was investigated and charges dropped.

Proves this was only talk from way back then.

They literally rented out the Lincoln Bedroom and don’t forget Bill’s activity in the Oval Office. The vandalism that went on when you left was also well documented.

2 years ago Mike Brown got fired for calling out De’Aaron Fox for being an Idiot. Now Mike Brown is going to win a Championship because De’Aaron Fox is an Idiot. Full circle moment

WHOA: Spencer Pratt just went NUCLEAR on Karen Bass and Nithya Raman in a new video posted to X.

“You think your election was going to stop me? If you want to stop me, you’re going to have to f*cking kill me!”

He warned that he has recordings of one of the candidates that will force her to “resign in shame,” and said the gloves are now completely off.

PRATT: “You’re about to reward the arsonist who torched the place with four more years of destruction?”

“My goal hasn’t changed. I’ve been very focused on stopping these commie animals and I will stop them.”

“If you think we uncovered a lot of fraud and evil in the campaign, just wait.”

“We have some recordings of one of your exalted candidates doing and saying something that would make her resign in shame.”

“I was saving it for the general election. Go ahead and pick your demon, certify your choice and then you get to see it.”

“So Karen, Nithya, ask yourself, is it possible that one of your employees may have a recording of you doing or saying something that would force you to resign in disgrace?”

The last 5 minutes of the Knicks’ unreal comeback with nothing but the sounds of Madison Square Garden

[Rocketman @Jlyack]

Here's the most amazing comeback in NBA history. 5 minute video.

With 5.7 seconds to go, my daughter said "I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight- this game is so bad exciting!" or something like that.

This was the WNBA’s Commisioner Cup game. If the WNBA commissioner is a woman, why does she need a cup?

This should be the last shot in Caitlin Clark’s career with the Indiana Fever!

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."

🚨BOOM : In a jaw-dropping move, Texas Senator Ted Cruz has introduced the Stop FUNDERs Act, which expands RICO laws, the same tools used to dismantle the mafia, to prosecute billionaires, NGOs and foreign adversaries who bankroll violent riots and political chaos across U.S.A.
