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."
I love this. 👇
To the person who wrote this, thank you for sharing what so many of us think of our President.♥️🇺🇸
Mr. President,
⠀
I don’t know if you’ll ever read this. Probably not. But I’m writing it anyway because my wife and I talk about this all the time, and somebody needs to say it out loud.
⠀
We can’t wait for the day you’re no longer President.
⠀
Not because we’re tired of you. The opposite. Because you deserve to go home. You deserve quiet mornings. You deserve to sit on your own porch without the weight of 330 million people sitting on your shoulders. You deserve your family back. You deserve peace.
⠀
You didn’t have to do any of this.
⠀
You had the money.
You had the name.
You had the life most men only dream about.
You could’ve spent the rest of your days golfing, traveling, watching your grandkids grow up.
⠀
Instead you stepped into a fire that nearly cost you everything.
⠀
They mocked you. They sued you. They raided your home. They tried to bankrupt you. They tried to lock you up. They dragged your wife and kids through the mud. They put a bullet through your ear and you got up with your fist in the air and kept going.
⠀
For what?
⠀
For us. Regular people. Truck drivers. Welders. Waitresses. Roughnecks. Farmers. Single moms working two jobs. Grandparents on a fixed income watching the country they built get handed away.
⠀
You didn’t owe us a thing. And you gave us everything.
⠀
You risked your name. Your legacy. Your safety. Your family’s safety. Your brand. Your freedom. All of it. So this country could have one more shot at being what it was supposed to be.
⠀
And the truth nobody wants to admit?
⠀
We didn’t deserve a President like you.
⠀
A nation this divided, this ungrateful, this asleep at the wheel didn’t earn a man willing to bleed for it. But God sent you anyway. And I’ll thank Him for that until the day I die. 🙏
⠀
So when the day finally comes that you walk away from that desk, I hope you sleep good. I hope your wife laughs again without looking over her shoulder. I hope your kids breathe easy. I hope you golf till the sun goes down and nobody bothers you for nothing.
⠀
You earned every bit of it.
⠀
Thank you, Mr. President. From a truck driver in Texas who prays for you often.
⠀
God bless you. God bless your family. And God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸
Steve Hilton just DESTROYED the debate moderator after he tried to label Trump’s endorsement as a bad thing:
MODERATOR: “Mr. Hilton, you said you were ‘deeply honored’ to recently receive President Trump’s endorsement.” “That’s despite the fact that 62% of Californians disapprove of the job he is doing. Are those Californians wrong?”
HILTON: “One of the proudest days of my life was the day I became an American citizen. It happened in a ceremony right here in San Francisco.”
“So it is a deep honor for me to be endorsed by the President of the United States.”
“And he’s going to help every Californian when I’m governor, we will have a constructive relationship and partnership with the federal government.. to make things better in California.”
“Work WITH the President and his administration to manage our forests better, to harvest the timber so we can build the single-family homes we need for young families...”
“To work to increase California energy production as he wants to do so we can lower gas prices, to fight the fraud in our government so we can cut spending and cut taxes, to work to enforce our immigration laws.”
“In all these areas and more it will benefit every Californian to have a governor who is a partner on these issues with the President and his team.”
REPOST and let's amplify his voice!

I wonder if @realDonaldTrump was racist when he was the President-Elect & called my dad @JimBrownNFL32 to find out what was going on with the Black Community and how he could help❓
I was born in 1961 IN AMERICA.
So my name is William Michael Holte, not Muhammad, Mohamed, Kwame, Kofi or Bakari.
I’m not African-American, I’m American.
I’m not a black American, I’m American.
My loyalty belongs to America, not to any fake African identity.
My history is American history, not African history.
My colors are red, white, and blue - not red, black, and green.
My anthem is the Star-Spangled Banner, not the Black National Anthem.
My flag is the Stars and Stripes, not the African Union banner.
My symbol is the bald eagle, not the Black Power fist or the letters "BLM."
I celebrate Christmas, not Kwanzaa.
I celebrate Independence Day, not Juneteenth.
I went to a white Catholic college, not an HBCU.
I got ahead through hard work and good education, not DEI and Affirmative Action.
In school, I recited The Pledge of Allegiance TO AMERICA.
I support The U.S. Constitution, not the weaponization of it against American citizens.
My future is tied to America’s success, not to racist democrat takeover policies.
And my president is Donald J Trump, not anybody else.
Who's with me on this?
🚨You Will Miss Trump When He Is Gone – A Bold Warning to My Fellow Conservatives:🚨
One day soon, when Democrats retake the White House, we’re going to look back and pray for times like these.
We’ll watch as religious freedoms are stripped away — pastors forced to turn over their sermons, churches targeted, and faith under siege.
We’ll see X and other free platforms fined into silence or censored.
We’ll face wave after wave of massive gun control laws disarming law-abiding Americans.
We’ll endure multiple wars raging around the world, sky-high taxes crushing the middle class under the banner of “tax the rich,” and a push for universal healthcare that tanks our economy.
And in those dark days, many of us will deeply regret the disunity, the endless complaining, and the attacks on this President — Donald J. Trump.
Mark my words: Just like after the first Trump term, when the world cheered to see him gone and Biden made everything worse… history will repeat.
You will pray for the Trump offense. You will long for this fighting spirit.
You will miss Trump when he is gone.
I love you, Mr. President. Stay strong. America needs you.

🚨BREAKING | USA… news channels never told you this. And today I am ashamed of every single one of them. Because they kept this truth about Trump hidden from you. Deliberately. And once you find out what they never showed you… you will question everything they ever said about this man. 2008. Ed McMahon. Johnny Carson’s legendary sidekick. 30 years of making America laugh. 86 years old. And facing the most humiliating ending imaginable. Losing his home to foreclosure. The whole world knew. Every news channel covered it. And every single one of them watched. And reported. And moved on. And nobody helped. Nobody stepped up. Nobody did anything. Except Trump. Who picked up the phone. Quietly. Without any camera invited. Without any press release. Without any announcement. He personally bought Ed McMahon’s property. And let him stay in his own home. For the rest of his life. No bill. No conditions. No expectation of anything back. Just a man who decided that an American legend should not spend his final years losing everything he worked for.
And the news channels never told you this. Not once. Because this story does not fit the Trump they wanted you to see. Today… I am telling you. Because you deserve to know the real Trump. Not the one they built for you. The real one. Who showed up for an 86 year old legend. When the whole world looked away. 😭🙏🇺🇸 Drop a ❤️ right now if you never knew this story. Type “THIS IS THE REAL TRUMP” below. Tag every American today who deserves to know the truth that news channels never told them.
🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just said it PERFECTLY
"As I have often said, to be a great nation, you must have religion and you must have God!"
"This Holy Week, I'm proud to join with Christians across the country and around the world to celebrate the most glorious miracle in all of time, the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ."
"In his life, Christ displayed true humility. In his death, he modeled true love. And in his resurrection from the tomb, he proved that even death itself will not silence those who place their trust in Almighty God."
"As it says in Gospel of John, for God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, for whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. Eternal life, such beautiful words!"
"This Easter, millions of Christians all over the globe will be reminded that because of what Jesus did on the cross, all of us can live every day with hope in God's promise, knowing that in the end, evil and wickedness will not prevail."
"In the spirit of joy and renewal this Easter, we also celebrate the extraordinary resurrection of faith and religion in America."
"In churches across the nation on Sunday, the pews will be fuller, younger, and more faithful than they have at any time in many, many years. Religion is growing again in our country for the first time in decades."
"Happy Easter to all. May God bless you. May God bless the United States of America. Our country is doing so well like never before. Thank you."
🚨BREAKING: President Trump just honored JESUS CHRIST by name from the White House.
"He died for all of us... It was a miracle in all of history — the resurrection of Jesus Christ."
God bless you, Mr. Best President!

🚨BREAKING: #Patriots star RB TreVeyon Henderson posted his support for Jaden Ivey after he was released today for his anti-LGBTQ and Pride Month comments.
“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 5:10
WOW.
Chuck Norris and his wife Gina were true 🇺🇸Patriots and this may be one of the most important messages he ever left us with.
His words ring true now more than ever. ❤️
Chuck Norris was going strong until the day he died. He literally just released a video for his birthday a week ago, on March 10th.
The final words he left us with?
"Life can bring us hardships, but know there's always light at the end of the tunnel. God is good."
Amen 🙏🏻✝️
I'm sorry congressman, citizens have until Nov 3rd 2026, to get a new or updated birth certificate or passport! If their vote means something to them, then get to work to ensure you can register to vote...period! Enough excuses! Verifiable citizenship as it is in other countries should a must! You are for allowing potential voter fraud & interference, for the sake of making things easy on those too lazy to secure what many have died for? At what point are people responsible for themselves, respectfully? Go Birds 🦅
