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."
Great event supporting Jeremy Shaffer for State House tonight!!
Those who have the pleasure of having Jeremy as their Representative, like myself, knows that he will always back and support conservative values for Pennsylvania families!!
He is the man we need to reelect in November. We have a radical progressive trying to take the seat.
We cannot let that happen in our district.
This Memorial Day, I honor my Dad & Grandfather and all of the brave men and women who served and sacrificed for our country. 🇺🇸
Because of their courage, dedication, and love for this nation, we are blessed with the freedoms we enjoy every day.
We remember those we have lost, honor those who served, and thank the families who stood beside them. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

National Police Week 2026 will take place in Washington, D.C., from May 11 to May 17. This week is dedicated to honoring law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty and supporting their families.
This week holds a special place in my heart. 💙 🖤💙
Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms in our community! 💐
Today we celebrate the strength, love, and dedication that mothers bring to their families and to our neighborhoods every single day. You are the foundation of our communities, and your impact does not go unnoticed.
As a mom, I understand the importance of building a stronger, safer, and more connected future for our families—and that’s what continues to inspire me every day.
Wishing you all a beautiful and well-deserved day of appreciation!

What an exciting afternoon!!
Meet and greet for @JasonRichey4Pa !! Room was packed and energetic!
And no doubt that Team Stern showed up in full force. ❤️🇺🇸❤️
Honored to be present at the Law Enforcement Memorial service this afternoon.
Being that my husband is in law enforcement, this service always hits hard for me.

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.
People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.
A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.
Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.
We were there front and center.
That venue wasn’t built to accommodate an event with the line of succession for the U.S. government.
After witnessing last night, drop the TDS and build the White House ballroom for events exactly like these.
Great night at the @westforpa cocktail event. 🇺🇸
Huge thanks to Mark & Rose Daday for hosting and bringing so many great people together. The energy and support behind Thomas is real — momentum is building. ✨

Thank you for your trust and support—it truly means everything!

Never thought in a million years I would ever repel down the side of a city building Downtown Pittsburgh!
But I did! Overcoming a HUGE fear and going Over the Edge to benefit the BIGS in BLUE organization. (Big Brothers and Big Sisters) 💙💙💙
