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."

Every Democrat on @HomelandGOP voted against funding the Department of Homeland Security on January 22 and March 5 of this year.

This week, they will once again vote to keep @DHSgov shut down.

Democrats are focused on gaslighting and building false narratives.

[Robert J. O'Neill @mchooyah]

Just so I'm clear: Democrats rush drivers licenses to illegals who cannot speak or read english but say black Americans cannot get ID because republicans are racist. Am I close?

Deservedly so, Puerto Rico is extremely proud of its baseball heritage. One of the new additions here on the concourse at Hiram Bithorn Stadium is a wall-sized mosaic of great players in the country’s history. This is such a cool display as you enter the ballpark.

[Mike Swanson @Swanee54]

WBC baseball here in Puerto Rico is crazy. This is the loudest outdoor 18,000 venue I’ve ever been. These folks are into every single pitch, rain or no rain. The soon-to-be retired Martin Maldonado’s bases clearing double made this place shake. Happy for the former Royal too.

[Luis D Dávila Pernas @DavilaPernas]

Imagine if this happened in Florida.
Or Texas.
Or California.

You’d call it taxation without representation.

For Puerto Rico, it’s the status quo.

No matter what happens in Iran, count on the Left to be ignorant of facts, but be against Trump and America just because…

Honestly, I’m beyond tired of it.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

"I was pulled over today for speeding. The officer did not know me, nor did I know him, but we each showed one another a mutual display of respect in our interaction. He was doing his job, and I had made a mistake in trying to hurry home to get started moving that led to our paths crossing.

He ran my information, and in the end, we talked more about how our individual days were going and the situations and circumstances within our society that have led to interactions such as his and mine to play out much more negatively, some even deadly, than ours, than we talked about the situation that led to him pulling me over.

In the end, we both thanked each other for our mutual displays of respect and agreed to take a "selfie" together to help tell our story.

I can't stress enough that NO demographic and/or profession of people are all bad. Neither of us are the enemy. We can continue to fight against each other until we are literally "black and blue," or we can show one another the respect we inherently deserve, not as "black man" and "blue police officer," but as humans. None greater, none less... Respect"

I wanna talk about this Super Bowl halftime thing real quick… and I promise I’m not mad.
I’m just… confused in a Southern, porch-sittin’, sweet-tea-sippin’ kind of way.

Now look — I completely understand being proud of your heritage.
You SHOULD be proud of where you come from.
I’m proud of where I come from.

If somebody from my hometown made it to the Super Bowl halftime show?
Oh, I’d be excited!
I’d be texting people like:
“THAT’S BILLY RAY FROM DOWN THE STREET!”

I get pride.

What I don’t get…
is being proud of the WRONG cousin.

Every family’s got one.

You know what I’m talking about.
You don’t invite him to Thanksgiving…
but if he somehow ends up performing at the Super Bowl
suddenly everybody’s like…

“THAT’S MY COUSIN! REPRESENT!”

No.
That’s the cousin you told your kids NOT to sit next to at Christmas.

And here’s the thing
people keep saying, “You just didn’t like hearing Spanish!”
No, no, no.
I LOVE Spanish!

Spanish is a beautiful language.
Every time I hear Spanish I feel like I should be leaning on a balcony somewhere…
sipping an espresso…
Spanish isn’t the problem.

The problem is…
if you translate the lyrics…
you realize this man is NOT singing about love, family, or unity.
He’s basically performing the musical version of a NASTY bachelor party that got outta hand in Tijuana.

At one point I thought the FCC was gonna come out like referees and throw a flag, “Personal foul… excessive pelvic thrusting and crotch grabbing!
half the audience needs a shower…
first down.”

Again…
be proud.
Be proud of your culture.
Be proud of your people.
But shouldn’t we all want the BEST of us representing us?

If somebody from my hometown got on that stage singing about meth and bad decisions,
I wouldn’t be on Facebook going,
“THAT’S RIGHT! REPRESENT OUR COMMUNITY!”

No, I’d be like “We also have teachers… and a guy who plays the pedal steel real good…can we send him next year?”

I just think every culture deserves their CLASSY cousin on stage…
not the one who grabs the microphone and immediately grabs his JUNK.

That’s all I’m saying.

Because real pride ain’t just “Hey, one of ours made it!”

Real pride is:
“One of ours made it…
and we’re proud of HOW they showed up.”

That’s the difference.
I’m not mad at anybody.
I’m just out here hoping next year…
People send their best representative.

Because if Grandma’s gotta leave the room during the halftime show…
You might need a different ambassador.

En este video se ve el abrazo de dos artistas que dicen detestar el “imperialismo yankee”, pero que tienen mansiones en Estados Unidos y disfrutan sin pudor de los beneficios del capitalismo norteamericano.

Los mismos que protestan contra las “injusticias” del gobierno de EE. UU. hacia los migrantes, han guardado un silencio absoluto frente a los crímenes de lesa humanidad cometidos en Cuba y Venezuela.

Rebeldes de discurso.
Cómodos del sistema.
Selectivos con la moral.

¿Qué opinan sobre esto que señala Psicovivir?

[CJ Axe @cjaxe7]

Déjame ver cómo digo esto sin sonar como un hater de Bad Bunny porque no lo soy… de hecho le he defendido en millones de ocasiones….

A Bad Bunny le importa un pepino la comunidad latina…

Si le importa, que diga entonces:
- Libertad para Cuba
- Que critique al Narcoterrorismo en México que domina un país entero.
- Cuando Venezuela estuvo bajo dictadura no decía nada.

Y ahora de la nada se quiere vender como el libertador de los Latinos en EU…. El Pais donde literalmente millones de Latinos pudimos encontrar una libertad que nunca antes habíamos vivido.

Si vamos a defender a los latinos defendamos a todos y no a los que más dinero tienen y te pueden llenar arenas en EU pagando en verde.

[La República @RepublicaNow]

Se equivocan los que piensan que por ser latinos nos tiene que gustar Bad Bunny.

[Diane❤️ @Dianelysbt]

Hay muchos americanos enojados porque Bad Bunny va a cantar hoy en el medio tiempo del #SuperBowl2026 y no lo van a entender…si supieran que nosotros, los hispanohablantes, tampoco lo entendemos.🥴

[Kevin Sorbo @ksorbs]

Can somebody air this on the Superbowl Please?

[MichaelCorona @LcdoCorona]

Puerto Rico has been a US Territory since July 1898 and we have been American citizens since 1917 . We have paid our tribute to this country in blood in WWI, WWII, Korea , Vietnam , Irak , Afghanistan, Lybia, etc. If that does not make us American tell me what does .

Apparently you are not as aware as I am of the origins of Bad Bunny since I am a resident of Puerto Rico. Bad Bunny was financed by an ex Minister of the Hugo Chavez regime living in Florida . He has always been a leftist and last year he financed the political campaign of two communist pro independence parties in Puerto Rico . These parties have also been endorsed by Congresswomen AOC and Nydia Velázquez. He has built a cult following due to strong Democrat political backing and his woke agenda is identical to the Democrats. He is a product of Hollywood more than anything else . He fully understands and speaks English , you are falling for his gimmick. He is a cross dresser , closet homosexual, and a spokesman for Democrats .

Finally , as an America First follower , I suggest you take a look at our American territory before you use a communist Democrat artist to doubt if we are Americans. I think we have definitely earned it . My father was a US Marine Corp veteran that fought in Korea ; my father in law did one tour in Korea two tours in Vietnam . And that is just my immediate family .

Estos artistas son los más hipócritas y lavacerebros que jamás haya visto.

The sound bytes around the Pretti story evade both context and personal responsibility.

No one has the right to charge into a law enforcement operation and confront officers. It's a crime. Carrying a gun while doing so makes it more volatile.
