BRUTAL: Stephen A. Smith just told Democrats to “SHUT UP” and stop “bitching” about voter ID.
“You should have a damn ID [to vote]. You need an ID for every damn thing else.”
“And to the progressive left, shut the hell up!”
“You got a mayor in New York City that required TWO IDs for you to shovel snow.”
“You ain’t in no position to be bitching about how [Trump] wants IDs and the GOP wants IDs for votes. Shut up! Nobody wants to hear that.”

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."
@wilsonhlthcoach It is heartbreaking! The weight literally MELTED off my husband and I at 60 yrs old when we started Ketovore. The cane was put away within a week and a half, the BP, CPAP, Enbral etc., meds were gone in a couple of months. Miraculous doesn’t even BEGIN to describe the benefits!
Republican Senators, for the love of God…
STOP POSTING.
You’ve been in the Senate Majority for 15 months. WE THE PEOPLE gave you everything. We gave you the House and Senate so YOU ALL would unite behind President Trump and tram through the entire America First agenda, confirm every nominee, and crush radical Democrat obstruction.
Instead, because YOU chose John Thune as Senate Leader, everything is stalled, watered down, and sabotaged.
We don’t need more tweets about what “needs to happen.”
You have the power. Use it. Pass the agenda.
Confirm the nominees.
Stop the radicals.
STOP POSTING AND ACT.
The American people are watching.
10 years. 10 years. I’ve listened to every Dem & never Trump pundit call Trump, Elon and anyone else who voted Republican a Nazi. And now they line up behind Platner, with an actual Nazi tattoo. Unbelievable.
🚨 OMG. President Trump CUTS OFF and WALKS OUT of a Kristen Welker interview
He looks her in the eyes and tells her SHE'S A LIAR, then storms off!
"The elections are like a 3rd world country. YOU'RE CROOKED...let's call it QUITS. I've HAD ENOUGH."
WELKER: Please, I traveled all the way to Wisconsin!
TRUMP: "I've sat in the RAIN with you for an HOUR! I've given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press. You know what? A country can never be great with a dishonest press. Let's GO."
WELKER: *Whines*
BEST PRESIDENT EVER 🔥🔥🔥
Perfectly said! It is inappropriate & harassment in both scenarios, each with their own agenda.
You have to ask yourself: why do drag queens & radical gender activists fight tooth & nail to work with & around children?
@CaryKelly11 Yes! They deserve to be remembered at Christmas imo. Thanking someone, in even a small way, for providing a service is part of the spirit of Christmas 😊
🚨 WOW! Rep. Wesley Hunt just made the Democrats SPEECHLESS after dropping straight truth nukes
"My own father, who grew up in a segregated South, had to walk around to the back of a restaurant just to order a sandwich because of the color of his skin."
"THAT was Jim Crow, and THAT is precisely why it is so offensive to compare that era of legalized discrimination and racial terror to showing a PHOTO ID in a voting booth!"
"And it's just as offensive when groups and organizations like these manufacture faux hate and racial tension, requiring identification of vote."
"It's not oppression. It is not segregation. It is not racism."
"It is a basic standard that applies equally to every single American citizen, regardless of what you look like. You need an ID to board a plane. You need an ID to cash a check."
"You need an ID to buy alcohol. You need an ID to enter these very federal buildings. And by the way, attaining an ID in this country is an extremely low bar."
"But somehow showing an ID to vote in America is now considered to be Jim Crow 2.0. This is NOT about civil rights. This is about political theater. And the Democrat Party survives on manufacturing grievance."

I watched my wife push three human beings out of her body like it was an Olympic event.
One labor lasted over 18 HOURS.
EIGHTEEN.
She wasn’t sipping iced lattes, she was white-knuckling through pain that would make a Navy SEAL tap out and ask for his mommy.
And that’s just the delivery part.
Now she runs a full-contact combat zone at home: chasing a toddler who doesn't stop singing, teaching a 10-year-old multiplication and division, and feeding an 8-month-old who thinks sleep is optional.
She does all that on repeat, every single day, while somehow keeping the rest of us alive and mostly sane.
And what recognition does the calendar give her and many other rockstar moms around country?
One measly day.
Mother’s Day.
Fathers?
We show up, provide, protect, and kill the spider the size of a small dog.
One day.
Father’s Day.
Veterans?
The ones who went to war, saw things that broke their bodies and minds, and came home missing pieces?
They get one day too.
Memorial Day gets a long weekend for the rest of us to grill and forget when we should be remembering, and not stuffing hot dogs down our throats.
We honor our fallen heroes for a three-day weekend max.
Jesus Christ?
One day, even though half the country turns it into a shopping spree with inflatable Santas.
Thanksgiving?
The one day we’re supposed to shut up, sit down, and actually feel grateful for the roof, the food, and the family?
One. Single. Day.
But the LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ community?
They get an entire MONTH.
Thirty glorious days of corporate worship.
Every sports team, every Fortune 500 company, every coffee chain, every candy wrapper suddenly explodes in rainbow.
Your cereal wants to be an ally.
Your gum, your coffee and even your cheeseburger.
They’re not just waving it in your face, they’re selling it, branding it, and guilting you into buying it.
Why do they get 30 days when mothers who literally created life get 24 hours?
Because it’s not about rights anymore.
It’s a marketing racket dressed up as compassion. MA tiny percentage of the population gets turned into a cash cow while the rest of us are told to sit down, shut up, and celebrate or else we’re bigots.
Why?
Because guilt sells.
Fear of cancellation prints money.
Companies don’t actually care about the community, they care about looking like they care while your wife who birthed three kids gets a $6.99 card from Walgreens and a “happy Mother’s Day” text from corporate HR.
Mothers built civilization in the delivery room and the kitchen.
Fathers held the line so the rest of it didn’t collapse.
Veterans paid for our freedom in blood.
Jesus Christ LITERALLY DIED FOR YOU, so you could live forever.
And we give them all one day.
But a lifestyle marketing campaign gets a month because nothing says “authenticity” like Target turning your toddler’s underwear into a pride parade.
Enough.
Give mothers the whole damn month.
Or veterans.
Stop pretending a corporate profit orgy is bravery. Real bravery is pushing a baby out after 18 hours of labor then doing it two more times because you love your family more than your comfort.
That’s not a marketing ploy.
That’s a legacy.
@wilsonhlthcoach Same for my husband and I! I, however, I am old enough to remember how we ate BEFORE all of the new margarines and health advice came out. I couldn’t understand, but did what I was told, MUCH to my detriment! Grandma was right all along!
@Supersonic_Red Born in 1960 - Love this so much! I’m not normally much for labels and “groupings”, but this is truly spot on! It was a great time to grow up - not easy by any means, but great anyway!
A lot of people ask why Generation Jones insists on being its own thing.
After all, we’re usually lumped in with the Boomers.
The answer is simple.
We may have been born during the Baby Boom, but we did not have the same formative experiences as the older Boomers, and we did not have the same upbringing as Gen X.
We were the bridge generation.
The oldest Boomers remember where they were when President Kennedy was assassinated. Many of us do not. Kennedy was buried on my first birthday.
They were old enough to remember the optimism of the early 1960s, the moon landing as teenagers, and the cultural revolutions as participants.
Most of us arrived too late for that.
Likewise, Gen X grew up with personal computers, video games, cable television, and a world that was already becoming digital.
We didn’t.
Generation Jones grew up in a world that was almost entirely analog.
We used rotary phones.
We looked things up in encyclopedias.
We learned the Dewey Decimal System.
We used card catalogs.
We balanced checkbooks by hand.
If you wanted directions, you unfolded a map.
If you wanted to know something, you went to the library.
If you missed your favorite television show, you missed it.
There was no streaming service waiting for you.
But unlike previous generations, we didn’t stay there.
We had to adapt.
We watched computers move from climate controlled rooms into offices and homes.
We learned on mainframes and Wang systems.
We used Lotus 1-2-3 and WordPerfect.
We fed giant floppy disks into computers that had less computing power than today’s coffee maker.
We learned email.
Then the internet.
Then cell phones.
Then smartphones.
Then social media.
And now artificial intelligence.
Most generations learn one world.
Generation Jones learned several.
That’s what makes us different.
We are one of the last generations that remembers life before digital technology became part of every waking moment, but we were young enough to adapt and thrive as it arrived.
We didn’t just witness the technological revolution.
We had to reinvent ourselves to keep up with it.
Every decade brought another transformation.
Every decade required new skills.
Every decade demanded adaptation.
Perhaps that’s why so many Generation Jones people are independent, resilient, and skeptical of anyone claiming the world has always been the way it is now.
We know better.
We’ve lived through too many versions of it.
Generation Jones isn’t defined by what we were born into.
We’re defined by everything we had to learn along the way.
A CRAZED, HOMELESS BLACK MAN RANDOMLY ST*BBED A WOMAN TO DE*TH ON A TRAIN IN BROAD DAYLIGHT IN ATLANTA...
...AND NOT A SINGLE MAINSTREAM MEDIA OUTLET HAS SAID A WORD ABOUT IT!!!!
EXACTLY LIKE IRYNA ZARUTSKA.
