The only reliable way to stay healthy in America is to never go to sleep.
🔥 HOLY MIC DROP.
Judge Judy just dropped the hammer on those who constantly trash America while living here.
“If you don’t like this country, go somewhere else. Don’t come to the greatest country in the world, the most successful country in the world and say, ‘I want to change it.’”
She also pointed to the polio vaccine and AI as examples of American innovation, while emphasizing that this is a capitalist country that “revered excellence” and entrepreneurship.
“Whether you like it or not, it’s there.”
OOF. SAY IT LOUDER, JUDGE JUDY. 👏🔥🇺🇸

HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM:
This is a well written and thought out article written by a 26 yr old college student by the name of Alyssa Ahlgren, who's in grad school for her MBA.
What a GREAT perspecitve...
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."
Some personal news I’m grateful to share. After a medical appointment at the Mayo Clinic this week, my pathology results came back clear.
I am cancer free.
Thank you to my family, friends, doctors, and everyone who prayed for me, checked in, and supported me along the way.
A special thank you to President Trump for his unwavering support. I am deeply grateful and will continue to work to advance his America First Agenda.
Today marks the first anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s tragic death at the hands of an evil, progressive, liberal young man whose mind had been poisoned by ideology.
In 2022, my father-in-law passed away while traveling with me on a ministry tour in Italy. He died in his hotel bed shortly before his 74th birthday. When I found him the following morning, lying there lifeless, several hours had already passed since his massive heart attack.
As I struggled against bureaucracy and the absurdity of insurance companies in my efforts to bring his body home, a process that took nearly a week, I found myself pondering Isaiah 57:1–2:
“The righteous perishes,
And no man takes it to heart;
Merciful men are taken away,
While no one considers
That the righteous is taken away from evil.
He shall enter into peace;
They shall rest in their beds,
Each one walking in his uprightness.”
I asked myself: What was my precious father-in-law, who had been like a father to me, taken away from? What was he spared from seeing?
Then came October 7, and it all became clear to me.
The things we are witnessing today concerning Charlie’s death, and even more so the direction some of his former friends and colleagues have taken, would have broken his heart.
He was able to see the America for which he fought. America has changed since then.
On the 25th anniversary of September 11, the Big Apple is now governed by a Shiite Muslim who is friends with people who praised that horrific terrorist attack.
Consider the sheer lunacy and strong delusion of our time: women siding with a woman who murdered her own babies, members of the LGBTQ community standing with rapists and murderers, and socialism experiencing a disturbing renaissance.
Charlie was spared from seeing all of this.
He fought the good fight. He finished his race. He kept the faith. It was his time to go home.
Charlie was taken from us while still young, but he left behind a remarkable legacy, one that the enemy hates deeply.
Today, I choose to remember that legacy and to pray for a new wave of spiritual awakening across America.
Awaiting His Soon Return,
Amir
These conversations rarely go well for pastors... but we never apologize for the word of God.

@DefiantLs Travel Advisors are not scared. Some people still appreciate the human connection and don’t want to trust a robot with their bucket list trip.

La historia cuenta que Dolly Parton conducía por Brentwood, Nashville, de regreso de su oficina, cuando una voz a capella surgió en la radio. Al principio solo le sonó familiar: “If I should stay…”. Luego llegó el coro. Tuvo que detenerse al costado de la carretera, cerca de donde hoy está un Walgreens, porque el corazón le latía tan fuerte que temió estrellarse.
Era 1992, Whitney Houston acababa de convertir su pequeña canción de despedida en un himno mundial.
La historia había comenzado casi veinte años antes.
En 1973, Dolly Parton decidió separarse profesionalmente de Porter Wagoner, el hombre que la había llevado a la televisión nacional y le había abierto las puertas de Nashville. No fue un corte limpio ni un gesto de ingratitud. Fue una necesidad de crecer.
Para decirle adiós, escribió “I Will Always Love You”. Entró a su oficina, se sentó con la guitarra y se la cantó. Wagoner lloró. “Es la mejor canción que has escrito”, le dijo. “Puedes irte… siempre que yo la produzca”.
La grabó en 1974 y alcanzó el número uno en las listas country.
No era una balada de amor romántico, sino una carta de gratitud y liberación: “Te querré siempre, pero tengo que seguir mi camino”.
Poco después llegó una tentación casi imposible de rechazar. Elvis Presley quería grabarla. Dolly estaba eufórica.
Contó a todos que el Rey interpretaría su canción. La noche antes de la sesión, el coronel Tom Parker telefoneó: la condición era entregar la mitad de los derechos de autor. Dolly se negó. Lloró toda la noche.
“Mis canciones son como mis hijos”, explicaría después. “Espero que me mantengan cuando sea vieja”. Prefería conservar el copyright completo, aunque eso significara renunciar al sueño de oír a Elvis cantarla.
Aquella decisión, tomada con el corazón roto, cambió el rumbo de su vida.
En 1992, Kevin Costner y su secretaria insistieron en usar la canción para The Bodyguard. Había otra opción preparada, pero al último momento la pidieron. Dolly envió la cinta y no volvió a saber nada… hasta aquella tarde en el auto.
Whitney Houston, con la producción de David Foster, la transformó: el inicio a capella, la potencia vocal, el escalofrío que recorre el mundo.
Catorce semanas en el número uno del Billboard Hot 100. La banda sonora se convirtió en una de las más vendidas de la historia.
La versión de Whitney generó para Dolly alrededor de diez millones de dólares en regalías solo en la década de los noventa.
Dolly no guardó el dinero en silencio. Compró un complejo de oficinas, un strip mall, en un barrio históricamente afroamericano de Nashville, lejos del glamour de la Avenida 16.
“Pensé: este es el lugar perfecto, considerando que era Whitney. Voy a estar aquí con su gente, que también es mi gente”. Lo llamó “la casa que Whitney construyó”.
“Tomó mi pequeña canción y la convirtió en algo enorme”, diría Dolly más de una vez, con la voz quebrada de emoción.
Whitney le había devuelto la canción transformada, más grande y más universal.
Dolly escribió la despedida. Whitney la hizo volar. Entre las dos tejieron un puente improbable entre el country de las montañas de Tennessee y el soul que llega al alma.
Una canción nacida de la necesidad de partir se convirtió en el adiós que el mundo nunca pudo olvidar.
Hoy, cuando suenan aquellas notas a capella, todavía se escucha el eco de dos voces que se encontraron a través del tiempo y con seguridad, en la eternidad, y a la vez, se quedaron con nosotros para siempre.
Mike Rowe reveals Ford has 5,000 unfilled mechanic jobs paying $120,000 a year.
No degree required. AI-proof. And Ford still can't fill them.
ROWE: "Not a week goes by when I don’t get a call from some CEO... elected official... freaking out."
"They’ve done the math: for every five tradespeople who retire, two come in. It’s been that way for about 12 years now."
“Jim Farley (Ford CEO) told me he’s got 5,000 empty bays at Ford. These are AI-proof six-figure jobs, right? $120,000 a year. He can’t fill them.”
In a separation conversation with Shawn Ryan, Rowe said he visited a Texas data center and met three “debt-free” electricians under 30 making “north of $240,000/year.”
All three of those electricians have been “poached” three times in the last 18 months because the demand for electricians is crazy high.
THE BIG TAKEAWAY: If you're thinking about college but aren't sure what you really wanna do, trade school might be the smarter play.
Chances are, you'll take on a lot less debt, make a lot more money — and AI won't be coming for your job anytime soon.
This is Fenn Church of Shelby County, AL. He's pleading with @alabamapower to move their lines a mere 200 yards so his farmland and home where he's retiring isn't ransacked. They've condemned his land, dozers are ready to roll, and they've ignored my efforts to intervene. WATCH👇
