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."
🚨 WOW! Dr. ALVEDA KING just said it PERFECTLY on Capitol Hill
"I still have a dream. I dream that one day we will move beyond black power and white power and embrace GOD'S power and human dignity!"
"I reject the notion that Americans who hold traditional Christian beliefs should be treated as THREATS or TERRORISTS simply because we disagree with a prevailing political thought!" 🙏🏻
"I dream that Americans will one day see each other, not as enemies, but as neighbors. I dream that we will hear each other, see each other, and recognize that every human life has value from the womb to the tomb and beyond."
"We are as scripture teaches, one blood, one human race. And if we remember that truth, we can build a future worthy of the sacrifices made by those who came before us."
"We must speak out for truth and against the forces that would manufacture hate, fear, division, and violence simply to line their pockets and further their political ambitions."
"God bless America, God bless you!"

TOP 10 REASONS TO VOTE DEMOCRAT
#10. I vote Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my refrigerator.
#9. I vote Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon at 15% isn't.
#8. I vote Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.
#7. I vote Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.
#6. I vote Democrat because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves. I am also thankful that we have a 911 service that get police to your home in order to identify your body after a home invasion.
#5. I vote Democrat because l'm not concerned about millions of babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive and comfy.
#4. I vote Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits, and we should take away Social Security from those who paid into it.
#3. I vote Democrat because I believe that businesses should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as the Democrat Party sees fit.
#2. I vote Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.
#1. I vote Democrat is because I think it's better to pay billions for oil to people who hate us, but not drill our own because it might upset some endangered beetle, gopher or fish here in America. We don't care about the beetles, gophers or fish in those other countries.

Some of you genuinely think Trump supporters believe this man is perfect. That he can do no wrong. That we're in some kind of cult.
We don't. He can. We aren't.
Some of us are just mature enough to say: 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁'𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆.
So here it is. My honest list.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲:
The social media. The all-caps, impulsive posting, unnecessary jabs. Sometimes the best move is to shut up. Not every fire needs fuel. He could calm situations instantly if he stopped feeding the outrage machine.
The cockiness. 𝗡𝗼 𝗼𝗻𝗲'𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲. 𝑶𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝑰 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒅𝒐 𝒊𝒕. It gets old. Tell me what's being done. Tell me what's coming. Skip the self-praise.
The personal attacks that go on too long. Call out what needs to be called out — then move on.
𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝗺:
He's real. Not rehearsed. Most politicians are polished and presidential — and it sounds nice — but it's usually fake. Trump is raw, blunt, and imperfect. But 𝗜 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘀. He doesn't read from a script written by donors and PR teams. In a world full of performance politicians, that honesty is refreshing.
He answers questions and doesn't hide. He doesn't dodge the press. He doesn't disappear for days. He doesn't need a teleprompter to breathe. Even when reporters frame questions to trap him — he still answers.
𝗛𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗵𝗲'𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼. This is why millions still support him. Most candidates campaign on big promises, then magically can't deliver once in office. Trump follows through more consistently than any president I've seen in my lifetime.
He puts America first. You can hate his style — but the results speak. He fights for our borders, our economy, our energy, our sovereignty, our safety. He doesn't bend to global pressure. He doesn't apologize for America.
I don't support Trump because I think he's perfect. I support him because I agree with his mission: 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻𝘀, 𝗲𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘄𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝘂𝗻 𝗯𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗸, 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁.
Stop pretending the only reason people support Trump is because they're brainwashed. Some of us simply looked at the outcomes — and chose the leader who fights for our country.
Faith. Family. Freedom.

"Why did God create evil?"
A professor at the university asked his students the following question:
“Everything that exists was created by God?”
One student bravely answered:
“Yes, it was created by God.”
The professor asked :
“If God created everything, then God created evil, since it exists. And according to the principle that our deeds define ourselves, then God is evil.”
The student became silent after hearing such an answer. The professor was very pleased with himself. He boasted to students for proving once again that faith in God is a myth.
Another student raised his hand and said:
“Can I ask you a question, professor?”
"Of course," replied the professor.
“Professor, is cold a thing?”
“What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you ever been cold?”
Students laughed at the young man's question.
The young man answered:
“Actually, sir, cold doesn't exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is actually the absence of heat. A person or object can be studied on whether it has or transmits energy.
Absolute zero (-460 degrees Fahrenheit) is a complete absence of heat. All matter becomes inert and unable to react at this temperature. Cold does not exist. We created this word to describe what we feel in the absence of heat.”
The student continued:
“Professor, does darkness exist?”
“Of course it exists.” said the professor.
“You're wrong again, sir. Darkness also does not exist. Darkness is actually the absence of light. We can study the light but not the darkness. We can use Newton's prism to spread white light across multiple colors and explore the different wavelengths of each color. You can't measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into the world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you tell how dark a certain space is? You measure how much light is presented. Isn't it so? Darkness is a term man uses to describe what happens in the absence of light.”
In the end, the young man asked the professor:
“Sir, does evil exist?”
This time it was uncertain, the professor answered:
“Of course, as I said before. We see it every day. Cruelty, numerous crimes and violence throughout the world. These examples are nothing but a manifestation of evil.”
To this, the student answered:
“Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it does not exist for itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is like darkness and cold—a man-made word to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not faith or love, which exist as light and warmth. Evil is the result of the absence of Divine love in the human heart. It’s the kind of cold that comes when there is no heat, or the kind of darkness that comes when there’s no light.”

These protesters have pitched a tent on private property over a city issue, and the owners called them in for trespassing. The “leader” tells the police she's the liaison and they need to go through her so she can relay information back to them. The problem is, she’s not very bright. Watch as she makes a fool of herself. What should happen to people who think they can protest on private property or public streets? It’s an issue in our current environment.
We fought government red tape all the way to the Mississippi Supreme Court and we WON.
That’s what real conservative principles look like in action.
We didn’t just talk about the free market. We defended it and delivered results for Mississippi.
Medical. Retail. Hotel. Jobs. Growth.
And I’m ready to take that same fight to Washington for the entire state.
No battle is too big.
I need your vote in the Republican Primary on 3/10 for US senate. 🇺🇸
It’s time for another We Do Not Care Club Announcement! 🎉📣📣📣
This one is the Friendship Edition, some of these hit hard.
Friendship shouldn’t be hard work, it shouldn’t be exhausting.
True friendship is easy and effortless. ❤️

In a WLOX interview, Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith said if people can’t afford beef, they should choose another protein.
Easy to say while attending steak dinners paid for with campaign donations.
Mississippi families don’t need lectures about downgrading their dinner plates. We raise beef here. We eat beef here. And we’re not switching.
March 10. Republican Primary. 🇺🇸
Sarah Adlakha for U.S. Senate.
Public records aren’t attacks. They’re facts.
And credit to Mississippi Today for having the courage to report on it. Click on the link to read about it.
This information is available for anyone to verify, because transparency matters. When voters look at how elected officials handle campaign money, it reveals priorities, judgment, and accountability.
My campaign is mostly self-funded, along with donations from Mississippi voters. I’ve already pledged that I will not take money from Washington lobbyists, because no one buys my vote.
If we’re serious about restoring trust, here’s my Day One anti-corruption plan:
• Term limits for all federally elected officials
• No campaign contributions from Washington lobbyists
• No former members of Congress serving as foreign lobbyists
• Ban stock trading for members of Congress and their spouses
This is about restoring trust.
If you’re tired of politics as usual, share this.
If you believe public office is a public trust, comment 🇺🇸.
Either way, please get out to Vote March 10th in the Republican primary. https://t.co/zRW9UjEAQj
@cindyhydesmith Talks loves to talk about how MAGA she is but that's all it is - talk. When it counted, she voted with Biden. We need a real Conservative in Washington
In two weeks Mississippi has a chance to vote out US Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith in the Republican primary election.
Make your vote count on March 10th!

I’m confused, why is Tucker behaving like a primadonna? Just because someone calls you names doesn’t mean they’re after you, especially so conspicuously. Tucker, I’ve appreciated your work but I can’t follow your evolution here. Come back down to earth please.

When you’re running for the US Senate, people want to know where you stand on social issues. I am pro life. But that belief does not come from a party platform or a political talking point. It comes from life experience.
Adoption changes you. It opens your eyes to the sacrifices another woman made so your child could live and have a future. It makes you realize how precious every life is and how important it is that we support both mothers and children with real help, real community, and real compassion.
My perspective was not shaped in Washington. It was shaped right here at home.
Thank you to Elijah’s Closet and the people who pour their hearts into serving others. You remind all of us what living out our values truly looks like.
I’ve worked inside the healthcare system for decades as both a physician and a medical administrator, and I’m also a mom of two children with significant medical needs. So I’ve seen this system from both sides: inside the industry and across the kitchen table trying to make sure my kids get what they need.
And I can tell you: most people have no idea what’s really going on behind the scenes.
There’s a middleman in the prescription system called a Pharmacy Benefit Manager.
They sit between your doctor, your pharmacy, and your insurance company. In many cases, that middleman is actually owned by the same insurance company that’s supposed to be negotiating prices for you.
Let that sink in.
That means the same corporation can set the price, negotiate the price, and profit from the price all in the same transaction. And nobody tells you what’s really happening behind the scenes.
Recently, the Mississippi House passed a bill trying to rein some of this in. That’s a good step. But this isn’t just a Mississippi problem. This is a national system designed in a way that benefits powerful corporations and leaves patients, taxpayers, and small pharmacies holding the bill.
I’m running for Senate because I think people deserve to actually understand how these systems work, and once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
I’m not taking money from Washington lobbyists, so I don’t owe these industries anything. That means I can say what a lot of politicians won’t:
If a system is designed to hide prices, eliminate competition, and profit off patients, it shouldn’t be protected. It should be fixed.
Sunlight. Transparency. Competition. Accountability.
That’s how we bring costs down and put power back where it belongs. With the people.
🚨 25-YEAR TEACHER TORCHES THE SCHOOL SYSTEM ON CAMERA - “THE STATE CAN SHOVE IT”
A veteran teacher looks straight into the camera and says she’s done pretending.
After 25 years in the classroom, here’s what she says she doesn’t care about anymore:
• Homework: because kids either get it or they don’t, and homework fixes nothing
• Dress codes: “I’m just glad you’re here”
• Attendance: if parents don’t know where their kid is, that’s not a teacher problem
• Cursing: she says she has better things to do than write kids up
• State testing: one day, one test, zero reflection of real learning
Her argument is simple: teach the kids who show up, stop policing nonsense, and stop letting the state reduce education to a standardized score.
She ends it by saying the state can take its test and shove it.
Is this the realest teacher in America - or exactly what’s wrong with schools today?
