⭐️THIS is a GREAT read ⭐️

I’m worn out hearing people moan, “Our grandparents could buy a house on one paycheck, but now we can’t even afford rent on two!”

Yeah, maybe because Grandma wasn’t dropping half her income on $14 iced lattes and avocado toast shaped like art projects. Back then, if they wanted coffee, they boiled it at home in a dented pot. It tasted like burnt rubber and regret — but it woke you up and cleaned your pipes.

And Grandma wasn’t “out to brunch.” You think she had time for mimosas and hashtags? She was making something called whatever’s left in the fridge and feeding six people with it.

Don’t even start with Uber Eats. You think Grandpa was out here paying $38 to have a burger delivered three blocks away? Please. He grilled mystery meat on a rusted barbecue, and everyone called it dinner.

Now people cry about being broke while sitting in a house full of gadgets. Two SUVs in the driveway, six streaming services, three air fryers, and matching tattoos that cost more than their light bill. You think Grandpa had a tattoo? He did. It said “Korea, 1951,” and it came with trauma, not Instagram likes.

And the kids—Lord help us. “We can’t make ends meet, but Brayden needs the new iPhone!” No, he doesn’t. You’re handing an $1100 device to a child who still eats crayons and forgets to flush.

When we were kids, there was one phone. It hung on the wall like a family relic. The cord stretched just far enough for you to whisper secrets before someone yelled, “Get off, I need to make a call!” And guess what? We lived.

The TV? One. In the living room. With three channels and a dial that clicked like a safe. And if Dad wanted to watch bowling, you were a fan of bowling, end of story.

Now there’s a flat screen in every room, the baby’s got an iPad, the dog’s got a camera, and everyone’s wondering why they can’t afford rent.
Because you’re living like rock stars on retail salaries, that’s why.

Grandpa wasn’t leasing Teslas or buying $12 smoothies called “Green Zen Awakening.” He drove a truck that coughed smoke, rattled like a storm, and smelled like oil and hard work.

They lived within their means. Whatever Grandpa brought home on Friday — that’s what they had. They weren’t keeping up with the Joneses; they were keeping the lights on.

So yeah, Grandpa bought a house on one salary. But he also didn’t have a gym membership, three delivery apps, and emotional support crystals on his nightstand. His only support system was Grandma, who told him to quit whining and mow the yard.

Nowadays, everyone’s broke, anxious, and “manifesting abundance” while ordering tacos on DoorDash for the fourth time this week.

It’s not the economy — it’s the lifestyle.

Wake up, turn off your subscriptions, make your own coffee, and maybe—just maybe—you’ll smell the truth.

If Bass wins its VOTER FRAUD.

If Bass Loses its because they didn’t cheat enough, VOTER FRAUD.

The left CANNOT WIN UNLESS THEY CHEAT.

The party of Cheaters, liars, deviants and CRIMINALS. 👺

The fact that Republicans are going to make the runoffs in California, is a huge step forward.

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

It is difficult to imagine an American who has been a greater parasite on the public coffers than @BernieSanders. He has contributed NOTHING to the United States other than decades of cantankerous and sullen envy-fuelled anger at those who create.

[Dagen McDowell @dagenmcdowell]

Can we PPV these smackdowns in the future to cover some of the interest on the debt?

Sen. Wyden: "Nobody is interested in the ramblings of a capo in the most corrupt regime in American history.”

Sec. Bessent: "And we would like to hear what Adam Wyden and Jeffrey Epstein talked about. Your son's largest investment position was Rick's Cabaret. So did your son and Jeffrey Epstein talk about pole dancing as he begged him for money using your limited credibility?"

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

Basically.

[Rob Schneider 🇺🇸 @RobSchneider]

What would ANYONE vote for the grossly incompetent and unrepentant failure, Karen Bass to be Mayor AGAIN?!

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

In India... 2024, nearly 642 million votes were counted across the country in one day.

The city of L.A. can't count a few million votes in one day.

The cheat is real.

[The Misfit Patriot @misfitpatriot_]

So basically California counts less than 50% of the vote on election night, stops counting while they “wait” for the “late mail in ballots” to arrive, and then just basically says “we’ll let you know in 7-14 business days who won”?

Is that how they do elections? Am I really getting that right?

[Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok]

Spencer Pratt is now expected to head to a run-off with Karen Bass

“Obviously, God wanted 5 more months of me exposing all the failures of our mayor.”

Incredible

[Lara Logan @laralogan]

Well done. He has worked non-stop for this.

[Tyler Bindi @TripleNetTyler]

Went to vote today for the California primaries

The guy next to me called over an election worker because his ballot didn't include the LA mayoral race

The worker checked and told him it was because his registered address was in Malibu, which is outside the City of LA

The guy then asked if he could provide another address

To my surprise, the answer was yes

So he gave the worker an LA address, they voided his previous ballot, issued a new one, and suddenly he was able to vote for the mayor of LA

How is voter ID not mandatory in all 50 states?

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

Watch how the peacefully colonized green area is being bullied by the Zionist red dot. The red dot is clearly winning the expansionist land grab.

[Mike Bales 🫡🇺🇸 @MikeBales]

He’s the President of the United States — not your ex, not your personal villain, and not the cause of your misery. You don’t have to support him. That’s America.

But if someone is simply backing the sitting President and it makes you rage, cut people off, attack families, or act like garbage — you are the problem.

You’ve turned politics into a personality disorder: nonstop outrage and toddler meltdowns online. Grow up. He won. The sky didn’t fall. Pay your bills, care for your family, touch grass, and move on.

[Jimmy Failla @jimmyfailla]

All these analysts keep saying that if Spencer Pratt is gonna win this thing he’s GOTTA GO where the Democrat voters are but I’m not sure he has time to visit the cemetery.

[C3 @C_3C_3]

Over the last 20 years elections that do not declare a winner on election night go to:

80% Democrats
20% Republicans

Of course…

[Steve Hilton @SteveHiltonx]

Utterly pathetic and unacceptable. If states like Florida can have timely results on election night, why can't we?

Just another example of California Democrats' endemic uselessness. High Speed Rail, Months-Long Elections. What a joke.

[Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok]

NBC says the quiet part out loud

LA won’t have results tonight because tonz of mail-in ballots will be arriving over the next few days which will help the Democrats

This is how they cheat

[Catturd ™ @catturd2]

If you can only count half your votes on election night in just a single city, you're cheating.
