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."
SCOTUS JUST PUBLISHED THE EXACT LIST OF RIGHTS PARENTS NOW HAVE IF A SCHOOL TRIES TO BLOCK THEM OUT
Not vague victories. Not "parents win somehow." NAMED PROTECTIONS. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS. School by school.
🇺🇸 Advance notice — schools must tell parents BEFORE exposing children to the challenged books
🇺🇸 Opt-out right — parents can excuse their children from that specific instruction
🇺🇸 Free Exercise protection — forcing children into lessons that "pose a very real threat of undermining" religious beliefs is unconstitutional
🇺🇸 Preliminary injunction — this is ACTIVE NOW, not pending a future ruling
🇺🇸 Montgomery County, MD — the specific district that started this must comply immediately
🇺🇸 4th Circuit overruled — the lower court that sided with the school board was reversed
🇺🇸 Elementary grades targeted — the ruling applies to the LGBTQ+-inclusive storybooks in elementary English classes
🇺🇸 Nationwide signal — any district with a no-opt-out policy on religious-conflict content now faces the same legal exposure
🇺🇸 Administrative burden — schools must build notification and opt-out systems before the 2025-2026 year begins
🇺🇸 Case continues — the injunction holds while the full lawsuit plays out in lower courts
💀 6-3 vote
💀 Majority: Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barrett
💀 ZERO deference to the school board's "no opt-out" policy
💀 100% parental religious exercise — that is what the court protected
Every protection on this list belongs to parents. Not administrators. PARENTS.
Justice Sotomayor warned this "will be chaos for this Nation's public schools." These are the rights that caused that chaos.
I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨
Gavin Newsom just signed Senate Bill 73 into law.
Ensuring rigging California elections through mail-in ballots, Dominion voting machines, and illegal aliens at the voting booth will be protected.
Prohibits law enforcement and armed personnel at polling stations.
Makes it illegal for law enforcement agencies to seize counterfeit ballots from election offices and warehouses.
It restricts law enforcement access to ballots, voter rolls, and voting systems without a warrant and oversight by his own state authorities.
Meanwhile, IDs are totally illegal—and 37 days to count ballot dumps after Election Day.
And keep in mind, why would the one-party state of California pass such a bill ? They want to keep it that way—since the new sheriff has come to town.
96% of patients declared COMPLETE REMISSION of alpha-gal syndrome after ear acupuncture — lasting months to years.
Basically EVERYONE in the study could eat meat again within weeks of undergoing Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment (SAAT).
There were ZERO adverse reactions.
What a week in Maryland.
Monday was Memorial Day.
On Tuesday, Governor Wes Moore signed a bill reducing accountability for violent repeat juvenile offenders while communities are dealing with rising youth violence, teen takeovers, and teen assaults that have made headlines across the country.
Plus Moore signed the Glock ban bill (unconstitutional).
On Wednesday, we learned the state has lost 25 foster children. Then came the announcement that taxpayers will fund summer programs for troubled juveniles. Many Maryland families are struggling to afford summer camp for their own kids, but somehow Wes Moore always finds money for more government programs.
Congress announced they are investigating Maryland’s mail in ballot crisis.
On Thursday, a state audit revealed Maryland’s Medicaid program was making payments on behalf of deceased individuals, incarcerated inmates, illegal immigrants, and other ineligible recipients.
This is the pattern: less accountability for criminals, less accountability for government, and a bigger bill for taxpayers.
Let’s hope Friday gives Marylanders a break.

99% of people delete the wrong things when Gmail storage gets full.
They remove emails.
But Google hides the biggest storage hog somewhere else.
I freed 18GB without touching a single important email.
Here’s the first place you should check 👇
DEMOCRATS HYPOCRISY EXPOSED:
Democrats: “Trump can’t use the military to deport illegals!”
Yet Democrats called in the National Guard to remove 50 illegals from Martha’s Vineyard and ship them to a military base, all within 48 hours.
@fisher4maryland@KathyforMD@mddems@Chisholmstrong I see cars every day driving around with expired plates. Why not start pulling these people over. Like this car whose plates expired 4 years ago, you know they don't have insurance and never paid a toll or camera ticket
@beinlibertarian The persons name is Cynthia West, how have you wrapped her into MAGA?
Meanwhile - Reid Hoffman (the one on the Epstein List) bankrolled the E Jean Carrol lawsuit to smear Trump. As of now, it doesn't appear that anyone convinced West to come forward except West.
BOOM
Chlorine Dioxide was Suppressed.
Dr. Pierre Kory just dropped the bomb: Chlorine Dioxide (CDS) isn’t some fringe hack — it’s the cheap, universal antidote they don’t want you to know about. Wiped out COVID cases in Bolivia. Hospitals emptied. ICUs went silent. Kills viruses, bacteria, parasites, cancer cells — yet costs under $30 for a TWO-YEAR supply.
They buried the studies. Silenced the doctors. Ran the same playbook as Ivermectin in India. Dr. Kory says if he gets COVID tomorrow? CDS is his #1 choice — hands down.
I'm very happen to explain this to the national media - but here's EVERYTHING you need to known about the lies being spewed about "racist Republicans" in Tennessee and specifically Memphis. Dems claim the GOP is taking away their "black district." That's not true.
In 2006, black voters first chose white man Steve Cohen over a black man in the Democrat primary.
In 2008, black voters chose Cohen over a black woman in the Democrat primary.
In 2010, black voters chose Cohen over Willie Herenton in the Democrat primary.
In 2012, black voters chose Cohen over a black woman in the Democrat primary.
In 2014, black voters chose Cohen over a black man in the Democrat primary.
In 2016 black voters chose Cohen over a black man in the Democrat primary.
In 2018 black voters chose Cohen over a black woman in the Democrat primary.
In 2020, black voters chose Cohen over a black man in the Democrat primary.
In 2022, black voters chose Cohen over a black woman in the Democrat primary.
In 2024, black voters chose Cohen over a black man in the Democrat primary.
Meanwhile, during that same time frame predominantly white voters Republican voters nominated a black woman to be their nominee against Cohen SIX times.
So, you tell me which party is racist.
