@BernieSanders You’ve done nothing for us Bernie. It used to be the millionaires and then billionaires and now trillionaire. Socialism sucks doesn’t work and you suck.
Americans are struggling to pay for groceries and gas while Elon Musk becomes a TRILLIONAIRE.
When the federal government is for sale, the rich get richer and everyone else gets shafted.
The system is rigged.

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."
Stephen A Smith DESTROYS Lebrons GOAT Case
"He played 23 years,he still has 2 less titles than Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan played all 82 games 8 times, how many times did Lebron do it?, Michael Jordan is a 10x Scoring Champion, how many times did Lebron do it?, Michael Jordan is 9x All Nba defensive player, how many times did Lebron do it?, theres nothing to discuss. Michael Jordan averaged over 30 in the postseason 7 times, how many times did Lebron do it?, theres nothing to discuss, hes approaching year 24 and still has 2 less titles"

ELLA’S VOICE
Getting in line this morning with my family, I never imagined where the day would lead.
Now I’m sitting in the front row at @POTUS President Trump’s event in Chippewa Falls, and honestly, it’s hard to put into words what this moment feels like.
As I waited in line, I kept thinking about how much has changed over the past year. I was just a girl in New Richmond who believed girls deserved privacy in their bathrooms, fairness in their sports, and the protections Title IX was meant to guarantee.
When I spoke up, I wasn’t trying to become an activist. I wasn’t looking for attention. I simply knew that what was happening wasn’t right, and I couldn’t stay silent.
There were difficult moments along the way, but I never stopped believing that girls deserve a voice.
The Democrats tried to disqualify a Supreme Court nominee over fart jokes in a High School yearbook...
These same Democrats are lining up to support a guy with a Nazi tattoo who apparently has a very troubling track record of abusing multiple women.
Zero standards whatsoever.
People ask why the CA vote-counting process takes so long.
@Elex_Michaelson of @CNN explains it clearly here.
But the short answer is the state values participation plus thorough scrutiny of ballots over speed.
Bernie is full of shit. Perfect example of the world they live in. The world of conceptual ideas and fear. Not reality. Name one actual legislation Bernie has authored in his forever tenure that has made our lives better. The only one I can think of is a veterans bill in 2013.
Here’s Bernie six years ago claiming that humanity only had about six years left to stop the existential threat of climate change.
All we had to do to save the planet was pass his $30 trillion Green New Deal. 😂
I will soon be introducing a bill to give the public a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America.
This would guarantee that the trillions created by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — and block oligarch decisions that harm the American people.
Anyone who claims the lack of joy about the 250th is a function of a rough economy was not alive in 1976.
The country rocked in its 200th celebration and the economy was a FREAKING MESS.
There is this Gen Z misconception that the '70s and early '80s were some sort of economic golden age of readily available, well-paying jobs, low cost housing and an all around sense of prosperity.
WRONG.
Google "Stagflation." Google "gas lines." Google "mortgage interest rates in the 1980s."
Our economy today is a golden age by comparison, without exaggeration.
Yet somehow in 1976 we could gleefully celebrate our nation's birthday without Democrats turning it into a Howard Zinn-inspired anti-history hatefest.
What a ridiculous take. Scottie was great. However, MJ leaves. Bulls out in second round. Mike comes back (full season) wins 3 straight. Most impactful….0-6 cmon man
Rich Paul says Scottie Pippen was more impactful than MJ 👀
“I think Scottie’s rings are the same as Michael Jordan’s. He was the most impactful player on the team. If you unplug Scottie Pippen off that team, Jordan is 0-6”
(h/t @HeatCulture13 )
No I won’t pay more for gas so some lefty millionaire can make money off his green energy company and donate to the Democratic Party in exchange for new green regulations.
Yes I’ll pay more for gas so Iran doesn’t get a nuclear weapon.
It’s not complicated.
At all.
@DONDlNGLE Completely agree. It’s much more enjoyable now. I’m outside of Philly now. I take my daughters to Camden each year. Meet longtime friends at shows where we used to travel to. Creek is definitely on the rotation as we are all from Ohio.
