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."

If you still believe that the Republican Party is for small limited government, individual freedom, and no new wars then you have the IQ of a potato.

If you live in North East USA be sure to take vitamin D with K2 during the winter and have your levels test tested regularly. If your doctor doesn’t test for it without you having to ask, get a new doctor.

🔻 SUNSCREEN ENTERS YOUR BLOODSTREAM IN UNDER 24 HOURS. THE FDA CONFIRMED THIS IN 2019. THEY DID NOT PULL A SINGLE PRODUCT. THEY TOLD YOU TO KEEP APPLYING.

In January 2020, a randomized clinical trial published in JAMA found that six active sunscreen chemicals — including oxybenzone and avobenzone — absorb into the bloodstream after a single application. Not after years. After one use. At concentrations exceeding the FDA's own safety threshold by 180x to 500x.

The FDA did not recall them. They issued a statement: "Continue to use sunscreen."

Oxybenzone is a confirmed endocrine disruptor. It mimics estrogen. It crosses the placental barrier. It has been found in 97% of Americans tested. It is in breast milk. It is in amniotic fluid. It is in your children before they are born.

A former formulation chemist — 11 years at a top-3 sunscreen manufacturer:

"We had internal absorption data by 2014. Full transdermal penetration within 26 minutes of application. The compounds don't sit on the skin. They were never designed to. The delivery mechanism is identical to a pharmaceutical patch. We knew this. The mitigation strategy was never reformulation — it was public messaging. Keep the consumer applying. The margins on chemical sunscreens are 1,400% above production cost. Mineral alternatives cost 4x more to produce. The decision was financial. Every internal document confirmed that."

They told you the sun causes cancer. What they didn't tell you:

Vitamin D — produced only through direct sun exposure — is the single most critical regulator of immune surveillance against malignant cells. A 2023 meta-analysis confirmed: Vitamin D deficiency correlates with a 30-60% increased risk of colorectal, breast, and prostate cancers.

They blocked the one thing your immune system needs to fight cancer. Then sold you a chemical that enters your blood and mimics hormones. Melanoma rates have increased 320% since 1975 — the exact period sunscreen use became widespread.

The paradox is published. McGill University, 2023: "Sunscreen usage is climbing, but so are melanoma and skin cancer rates."

They didn't protect you from cancer. They removed your defense against it and charged you $14 a bottle.

15 minutes of direct sun daily. No screen. Arms and face exposed. Your body produces 10,000-20,000 IU of Vitamin D in that window — the amount they sell you in pills because they blocked the free version.

CODE: JAMA-2020-6CHEM / OXYBENZONE-97PCT / VIT-D-IMMUNE / MELANOMA-320-1975 / MCGILL-PARADOX-2023

⟁
They made you afraid of the sun so they could sell you a hormone disruptor and call it protection. The sun is free. That's why they taught you to fear it. Share this.

59 years ago today, Israel attacked the USS Liberty in international waters. 34 crew members were killed and 174 were wounded by the IDF.

Today, I spoke on the House floor to honor the fallen and to recognize the survivors who were present in the gallery.

@OrevaZSN No, I’m Gen X and have never fallen into the rental trap. All the music on my phone was copied from my CDs onto my computer and then my phone. Instead of being bothered by it, try learning from us and do something about it.

I learned something new today.

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

You were never told that Democrats under the Biden Administration let illegal migrants walk through our agriculture fields and irrigation canals where 90% of our lettuce is grown

They were urinating and defecating on it so much it caused a health outbreak

90% of our “leafy greens” for the whole United States are grown here in Yuma, Arizona. Illegals were trashing, urinating and defecating in the fields

It got so bad Democrats actually had to go and put up enforcements on our border wall in the area

“90% of the leafy greens for the whole of the United States comes from Yuma during the winter. Lettuce, celery, you name it. Those individuals were going into those fields and defecating and the trash was being left there. As a farmer, because of food safety, is now contaminated — That was the only thing that got the former administration to come down and actually do something to protect the farmers and the food — So this white looking wall (shown in video) that's a Biden wall”

It’s all true, Farmers had to plow under or destroy affected acres. A reported showed an 80-acre loss with industry-wide damages estimated in the hundreds of thousands to millions

If Bobby hadn’t been on the ballot, I would have written in DeSantis.

[Sassafrass84 @Sassafrass_84]

I voted for this. Way to go, DeSantis.

Starting July 1, Florida will begin rolling out a major change to driver's licenses and state ID cards: your citizenship status will now be printed directly on the card.

The change is part of HB 991, Florida's version of the SAVE America Act, which Governor DeSantis signed in April. Beginning next month, new licenses and renewals will indicate whether the holder is a U.S. citizen or holds another legal immigration status. Current license holders will not need to make a special trip to the DMV, as the change will be applied automatically at their next renewal or replacement. Anyone who becomes a U.S. citizen can get a free updated card reflecting their new status.

The broader law also eliminates student IDs, retirement community IDs, debit cards, and public assistance IDs as acceptable forms of voter identification. Candidates running for federal office must now disclose whether they intend to trade stocks while in office, and all candidates must affirm U.S. citizenship and disclose any dual citizenship. The full suite of voter registration and election code changes takes effect January 1, 2027, though the driver's license provision kicks in next month.

Critics say the law will disproportionately burden naturalized citizens and legally present immigrants, while supporters call it a common-sense modernization of identification standards. <<<--- this won't burden me.

I’m so glad there are still people fighting out there.

[The HighWire @HighWireTalk]

Americans are told to “ask your doctor” about prescription drugs after watching TV ads that often spend more time selling the promise than clearly explaining the risks.

@ICANdecide is now pressing the FDA to change that.

In a letter to the agency, ICAN Lead Attorney @AaronSiriSG urged the FDA to require direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertisements to disclose all known risks associated with a drug, biologic, or medical device, not just the major ones selected for the ad.

The request comes as federal officials revisit pharmaceutical advertising standards, but ICAN argues the problem goes deeper than a return to prior rules. If companies are allowed to market medical products directly to patients, ICAN says those ads must fairly and equally disclose the risks along with the benefits.

ICAN also sent proposed revisions to the CDC’s vaccine contraindications and precautions guidance, the page doctors and clinicians rely on when determining whether a patient may qualify for a medical exemption.

The proposed changes would require patients to be screened before each vaccine dose for all absolute and relative contraindications, warnings, and precautions, including those listed in vaccine package inserts and vaccine information statements.

The issue is simple: patients cannot give informed consent if risks are minimized, buried, or left out. Doctors also cannot make proper exemption decisions if federal guidance discourages caution or frames missed vaccination as the greater concern.
