If you read only one thing today please read this....
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."

"Choose love, not hate"
The only hate I see on a consistent basis these days is dripping from the mouths and social media streams of liberals who just can't seem to grow up and come to terms with the fact that Hillary lost.It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

Now, you can’t even fly a flag honoring first responders at a HS football game .... on 9/11.

You never could.....fake news. No doubt its run by child abusers, most public schools are. But if you run a school, you want it to be unified.
You fly this one and that every BLM flag gets its day at the school. I understand that the superintendent probably has a BLM flag in his office, and is a marxist, its still not right.
So funny though, these basement internet dwellers. Heres news to them: you cant even wear innocent stuff anymore, muchless fly a flag. And the kids are indoctrinated daily. EVERY day. Where are these commenters then and now? Oh, the alert didnt get to them, so thats fine. The super has probably been marxist for 30 years and the faux outrage that will last for the news cycle. lol. Meanwhile all the admin really cares is watching cuties. As long as the students dont get education, they win.

The argument, "If we let this flag, then we have to let all flags" is specious. We have a country that stands for some things. We fly flags for those things. Period. The US flag, state flags, first responder flags, military branch flags. Those are and must be universal.
Otherwise, truly, leave.

Did you see the story of the huge ‘HOLLYWOOD’ type sign that was erected near the 405 in Cali? I guess it bunches up the panties of the local bureaucrats too much, so they had to knock it down in the name of ‘safety’. BS.
How is this not a clear violation of #1A, and unlawful government destruction of private property?

Donald Trump Jr. @DonaldJTrumpJr
The person who is third in line to the nuclear codes but was “setup” by her hair salon wants to have a conversation about the 25th amendment... Good one
