Every time you say, “It’s a free country” remember this: You got a number when you were born, the bank owns your shit and you better follow the rules someone else made up or you’ll be put in a cage. You know… freedom
I need to make a very PUBLIC announcement on behalf of younger GenXers and older Millennials.
If you see someone in their 40s or 50s who seems a little boring now, I need you to understand something...
We already got it in.
Like...GOT. IT. IN.
We are not sitting home on a Friday night because we never knew how to have fun.
We are sitting home on a Friday night because we have seen enough.
We went to parties in houses that should have been condemned and were almost certainly owned by the local drug dealer.
We saw police lights and RAN and not across a nice, flat field.
INTO THE WOODS.
Do you understand the athleticism required to hurdle uprooted tree roots in platform shoes while simultaneously trying to keep your low-rise jeans from sliding completely off your ass?
And somehow...we never spilled the Zima. We never spilled the Boone’s Farm.
That was TALENT.
We slept on floors in strange houses because the designated driver either never showed up or, in a shocking turn of events, was drunker than everybody else.
There was no Uber, Life360 or Find My Friends.
There was just somebody named Mike saying, “I know a shortcut.”
And we FOLLOWED MIKE.
We closed down bars and then decided the night was still young, so we drove to Atlantic City, where we somehow managed to get drunk, sober up, get drunk again, sober up again and then get drunk a THIRD TIME before breakfast.
And according to our parents? We were at Michelle’s house.
Eating pizza and watching movies.
Michelle’s mother unknowingly covered for approximately 17 people every weekend. If there even was a Michelle.
We drank things called Purple Passion, Mad Dog 20/20 and whatever somebody mixed inside a giant plastic garbage can. Nobody asked what was in it. You grabbed a red Solo cup and trusted the process.
We went to clubs until the lights came on. Do you know the psychological damage of seeing a nightclub with the LIGHTS ON? Nothing good happens after those lights come on.
We danced for four straight hours in shoes that permanently altered the structure of our feet.
We made entire plans without cell phones...no texts, dropped pins or group chats...just an extremely questionable sense of direction.
We rode in cars with 11 people when the vehicle legally seated five. Someone was always sitting on someone. Someone was always in the hatchback.
And there was always one friend yelling, “DUCK!” when we passed a cop.
So yes...now we like being home.
We like sweatpants.
We like cancelling plans.
We like saying, “That sounds fun!” with absolutely no intention of attending.
We like restaurants at 5:30 because we can get a good table.
We like being home by 8:17.
And if someone texts at 9:30 PM and says, “What are you doing?”
Sleeping...we are sleeping.
Because this is not boring my friends...this is retirement.
We already played, partied and danced on the bar.
We already ran from the cops through a wooded area dressed like a Spice Girl.
We have stories that cannot be posted because there are still people with careers, marriages and reputations to protect. And thank GOD there were no camera phones.
So kids, when you look at your Gen X and older Millennial parents sitting peacefully on the couch watching Dateline at 8 PM and think:
“God, you guys are boring.”
Sweetheart...oh sweetheart.
You are looking at retired legends.
Put some respect on our names. We're probably the reason Life360 was invented.

NEW: Raw Notes @FBI JAN 2017 Interview @GenFlynn Over Russia Collusion Allegations Now Declassified
- Agents Strzok and Pientka handwritten interview notes quote Flynn about his conversation with Russian Ambassador during the 2016 transition
- Asked if he encouraged the Russian Ambassador 'not to escalate' over sanctions by Obama White House
- Flynn responded, "Not really. I don't remember. It wasn't... 'Don't do anything."
- Flynn no “long drawn out” discussion “about don’t do anything.
CONTEXT: Handling of Flynn's FBI interview summary, known as a 302, was highly irregular
- FBI draft was edited multiple times until it was finalized months later and used as evidence in Flynn's guilty plea for lying to the FBI
- Typically, an FBI 302 is finalized within days of the interview
- In 2020, @TheJusticeDept AG Bill Barr moved to drop Flynn case, citing lack of legitimate basis for the FBI's interview of Flynn
- Agent Pientka's notes left, Agent Strzok notes right

Someone, anyone, tell me what has changed in our political discourse…?
I believe things have gotten dramatically worse.
1. Why?
2. What can be done about it?
3. Can we ever get back to normal?
4. What is normal in America?
5. Do we have any strong moral leaders or is everyone on someone else’s payroll?
This is a short list of ?’s
I’d like to hear from others what should Americans do, what should we demand, how should we respond to the current political environment in these “United” States?

NOTE TO RYAN
Ryan Reynolds just informed America that the 1980s were a “brutal, brutal time.” A “fucking mess.” Socio-political tensions everywhere. Fresh off the Cuban Missile Crisis. All we remember is “Top Gun” and cocaine.
Dude. Turn in your man card.
I was a young, single Air Force pilot in the 80s. Charleston AFB. C-141. First lieutenant turning captain. The Cold War was real and we were winning it. Reagan was in the White House.
The music was legendary. The cars were American and loud. And we partied.
The beaches were empty enough that a guy finishing a long trip could still find a parking spot and a cold beer.
I flew out of Charleston, hit the beaches, cranked Springsteen and Van Halen, and dated girls who didn’t need a 47-page consent form. We had call signs, shrimp & grits, great beer, and the quiet confidence that the country we served actually liked itself.
Reynolds grew up in Vancouver watching bootleg “Ghostbusters” tapes. That’s fine.
But lecturing Americans about the decade we actually lived in (while promoting a movie that leans hard into 80s cool) is peak Hollywood. I know. I used to live there.
He thinks we paved over trauma with puppy dogs and ice cream. We just remember being young, free, and flying. And freaking loving it!
The 80s weren’t trauma. They were a blast.
Top Gun was a documentary with better hair.
Your move, Deadpool. 🫡🇺🇸
Canadian asswipe.
I spent 30 years on the front lines. The real number is over 107 million illegal aliens in the U.S.
The official story, stays locked at 11-14 million (Same number for 40 years!).
Which one has the stronger incentive to stay protected?
In this interview I said it straight. The scale is so large that your very SURVIVAL is at stake.
The DhS/CBP team dialed enforcement back and is presenting numbers the same way Obama did.
Ask yourself this folks- If the real number is even half of what I know it to be, does the current “mass deportation” pace make any rational sense?
Or is it just political theater?
The filter is strong.
Reality is stronger.
Mass deportations will save us.
Why isn’t a Trumpian foot being applied to the DHS/CBP ass?
@WBTV_News Good job, boys!
It’s always good to give your big brother what he deserves.
Here’s an idea, Chesta… get law enforcement back to where they once were and get your nose out of law abiding citizens lives!
Will someone from the WH (anyone of substance such as the @POTUS or @SusieWiles will do) confirm that U.S Senator Mitch McConnell is alive!
What will it take?
Asking for millions of Americans.
Yes, the gold is there all (approximately) 147 million ounces. It is impressive, but the real point is what it still teaches in 2026.
In 1971 we severed the dollar from gold. Since then the currency has lost roughly 85% of its value. Prices are higher because the money itself is weaker.
A family making $50,000 with two kids that has not received a 25% raise in the last five years is falling behind.
This is now often called “affordability,” but the the accurate word is inflation.
We run annual deficits of two trillion dollars. The Federal Reserve buys about a third of that debt by creating new money. Every new dollar dilutes the value of the dollars already in people’s pockets. Gold does not expand when Congress spends. Paper does.
That is the difference.
My wife is a nurse. She was pregnant during the pandemic. Her best friend is also nurse and she too was pregnant during the pandemic. She and her husband had been trying for a long time and this was their first.
They were both well into their pregnancies when the hospital that they work for started mandating full time employees get vaccinated. The hospital was pushing the vaccine so hard and the rhetoric was so crazy that they were both worried if it would even deliver their babies if they were not vaccinated. That's how scared they made people.
My wife and I decided immediately that there was no chance she was getting vaccinated while carrying our baby. She was only a couple months from giving birth so she tried to stall. She filed for an exemption, it was denied. She used whatever PTO she had. Then she quit full time and went part time. She made it through and gave birth to our beautiful, healthy, love of my life baby boy, vaccine free.
My wife's friend was just a couple months away from giving birth when she succumbed to the pressure to get vaccinated. She and her husband had already set up their daughter's room. They named her Penelope.
She was full term when she started having stomach pains. She thought she was in labor so she went to the hospital. The doctor told her that her baby was no longer alive. They induced labor and she delivered a dead little girl. Afterwards the doctor told her that a blood clot caused the death of her baby.
When my wife's friend sees our son she still gets emotional because her daughter would have been the same age as him. It breaks our hearts to see her still so heartbroken. What happened during the pandemic was just pure evil.
