The average American today lives better than John D. Rockefeller did in 1926. That is not an exaggeration. It is a fact.
Rockefeller could not fly across the country in five hours. You can for $200. He could not video call his family from another continent. You do it for free. He had no antibiotics, no MRI, no air conditioning in July. He could not carry every book ever written in his pocket. You are reading this on a device that does all of that and more.
Americans throw away 30-40% of their food. Not because they are wasteful, but because food is so abundant that waste is affordable. Your car has climate control, navigation, and safety systems that did not exist at any price a century ago. Your home has heating, cooling, refrigeration, and entertainment that emperors could not have imagined.
None of this was voted into existence. None of it was redistributed from the rich. It was created by free minds operating in what remains of a free market. Every comfort you enjoy today is the product of a man who thought, invented, produced, and traded voluntarily.
This is what the remnants of capitalism still deliver, even while it is being dismantled. Imagine what a fully free society could build.

Popular opinion is fickle. Principles are final. When principles guide us, they can lead to our greatest political successes. The challenge for conservatives is to hold fast to our principles.

My belief in my faith is at my core. Even when the dark is there and it’s winning, I know it won’t ultimately win. I just have to find my way back to the light.

@ESPNCleveland Obv fire Kenny. Do not pay Harden. I think the rest is worth rolling with. They were v bad but the Knicks were lights out and on an unreal run.
