i came to the conclusion that this story is so awful that we have no way to punish it. to commit to an appropriate measure of justice is beyond our willingness to do it.

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."

Five and a half years later—with new revelations related to what happened before and on January 6—the regime media absolutely refuses to consider that the Biden DOJ/Wray FBI abused their power to investigate, prosecute, and help convict more than 1,000 Americans for their participation in the protest that day.

Welker, like all other “journalists” and reporters of her ilk, actually think the unprecedented number of plea deals is the result of legitimate prosecutions rather than abuse of authority—particularly threats to turn misdemeanor cases into felonies—to extract plea deals.

They don’t entertain for a SECOND that perhaps something is off with a 100 PERCENT CONVICTION RATE before DC juries. Or question how the Biden DOJ got away with for years bringing the felony 1512c2 charge against 300+ J6ers (and the president) before SCOTUS determined the statute had been unlawfully applied.

The single minded focus on those charged/convicted of “assault” on police—when the 18 USC 111 statute also applies to “interfering” or “impeding” federal officers—allows the media to ignore the hundreds of other low level misdemeanor cases that nonetheless resulted in torturous investigations and prosecutions, rigged trials, and time in federal prison.

Corporate media is as responsible as the Biden DOJ, J6 committee, and federal judges in continuing to perpetuate lies about J6 and intentionally misleading the public about what happened in the largest criminal investigation in US history. Good for the president for pushing back and for his justified anger here:

Did you know the Founders' Congress wasn't handed fat annual salaries? From 1789 to 1855 (with one short exception), Members of Congress were paid per diem — by the day, only for days they actually showed up in session. Started at $6/day in 1789 (roughly $170–$180 in today's money). Later bumped to $8. Plus travel allowance. No work, no pay.

Early Congress didn't sit year-round like today. Sessions were short — often a few months. Lawmakers had farms, businesses, and real lives back home. Per diem kept them citizen-legislators, not a permanent ruling class. It matched the vision: public service, not a lucrative career.

Then in 1816, Congress tried switching to a fixed $1,500 annual salary. Public outrage exploded. Voters saw it as self-dealing. Congress repealed it the next year and went back to per diem. It wasn't until 1855 that annual salaries stuck — and the slow creep toward today's $174,000 base (plus benefits, pensions, and perks) began.

Fast-forward: Congress now works ~100–150 legislative days a year but collects full-time pay regardless. Many fly home most weekends. Per diem created natural accountability. Annual salaries removed the incentive to finish the people's business quickly and return home. It professionalized a job meant to be temporary.

Revive per diem. Pay Members a reasonable daily rate (say, adjusted for inflation and cost of living in D.C.) only for certified days in session or official travel. Tie the rest to performance and actual attendance. No more guaranteed six-figure salary for part-time effort.

Congress can set its own pay. The 1816 backlash proved the public can demand change. It's time to make them earn it — by the day.
What do you think? Should we push for per diem reform?
This would:
* Force shorter, more productive sessions
* Reduce careerism
* Cut costs to taxpayers
* Bring back citizen-legislators who live under the laws they pass

Chicago woman mocks Democrats by speaking in a squeaky, high-pitched voice, who say black people's voting rights are in danger.

The woman also called out the commissioners one by one to their faces.

"I'm 63 years old. I've been voting since I was 18. I have never had a problem voting..."

"So now you're all gonna drag black people in here, definitely some senior citizens, and gonna have them come up here and talk about how they're scared to vote... all that junk, when you know it's not true."

. @Mike_Pence wants to warn Republicans about the “siren song of populism.” I want to remind him of what the last half-century of his “traditional conservative principles” actually produced.

1. It produced NAFTA.

2. It produced the WTO deal that handed China our manufacturing base.

3. It produced twenty years of nation-building in the Middle East while our own Nation crumbled.

4. It produced a ruling class of Republicans who won elections, controlled committees, gave speeches about limited government, and delivered NOTHING.

Not one inch of a wall.
Not one factory brought home.
Not one federal agency, activity or department reined in.

NOTHING, so stop with your BS!

Mike, that is the path you want us to return to. You call it principle. I call it failure with a flag pin on the lapel.

The American people did not drift toward populism. They ran toward it because the alternative was another decade of men like you (@VP45) managing their decline while assuring them it was conservatism.

We are done being managed.

We are done being lectured.

We are done watching Washington Republicans cash out while the country falls apart.

There is no time for choosing, Mike. The choice was made (three times to be exact). The only person who hasn’t accepted it is YOU.

You may as well be speaking to the hand! You’re wasting your time if you believe for a second that you have a shot at the presidency.

Americans are now demanding far more leadership than you ever demonstrated.

Have a nice day!

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

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.

FBI Director Kash Patel just confirmed that they are folding the stolen election into the entire Grand Conspiracy case and promises that arrests are coming very soon💥

“We’ve got all the evidence. I can announce on your show that we’ve got all the information we need. We’re working with our prosecutors at the DOJ under AG Todd Blanche, and we are going to be making arrests - and it’s coming and I promise, it’s coming soon.”

Maria Bartiromo then followed up and asked if the FBI has evidence of the rigged & stolen election, to which Kash responded:

“Yes. So what we are doing is folding that into our entire conspiracy case… but we have the information that backs President Trump’s claim (of the stolen election)… but I would say stay tuned this week. You might see a thing or two.”

Notice he specifically said “our entire conspiracy case.”

It seems like we are definitely getting close….
