Be brutally honest: Are you deeply outraged that, while hundreds of millions of Americans and I are struggling financially, Elon Musk has now become the world's first trillionaire, with more wealth than he could spend in 1,000 lifetimes? Yes or no?

Three Stooges
There are two types of people today. One is angry, resentful and envious of @elonmusk and @SpaceX success and want to take HIS money that HE earned (because they think they're entitled to it) to pay for government programs. The rest of us are inspired by it all.

They always want to use someone else’s money

This clip of Charles Payne during Obama's second term is really incredible. Well done Charles. In 2010 Obama put the federal government directly in charge of lending money to students. Eliminating private lending made the loans much easier to get, but they were not less expensive. Before Obama took office, outstanding student debt was less than $100 billion. By 2015, outstanding student debt was approximately $800 billion and almost a third of the borrowers were in default. Of course the price of college continued to soar the entire time. This is the best part. Payne predicted that someday the politicians would be promising to forgive student debt as a way to buy votes. He was spot on. There are people like Ro Khanna on this site right now arguing that Elon Musk should be paying down the student debt when it's a problem that politicians created.

One of his best movies. No one like the Duke.
TRUE GRIT starring John Wayne premiered on this day in 1969. 1969 was a pivotal year for the United States, bringing an end to a decade that bore witness to the high-profile assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Senator Bobby Kennedy, as well as the escalation of U.S. involvement in Vietnam, coupled with civil unrest on the home front. Three distinctly different Westerns graced the screen in 1969, closing out that tumultuous decade and putting the punctuation mark on Hollywood’s Golden Age which is typically acknowledged as concluding a few years earlier. There were other Westerns to hit theaters in 1969 but three immortalized the changing times through the medium of popular cinema; if THE WILD BUNCH was the future and BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID was the present, then TRUE GRIT was a nod to the passing of Hollywood’s Golden Age. The 2010 Coen Brothers re-make is a closer adaptation of the 1968 novel by Marine Corps veteran Charles Portis on which both films are based, but I have a soft spot in my heart for the 1969 John Wayne version, probably because I have such fond memories of watching it in my youth. It didn’t hurt that Wayne shoots a large loop-lever Winchester Model 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine in .44-40 Win one handed and fires what I believe is an 1873 Colt Single Action Army Revolver in .45 Long in his other in one of the greatest Western shoot-outs ever filmed. Wayne would receive his only Academy Award for his portrayal of U.S. Marshal Rooster Cogburn in the film. The final scene of TRUE GRIT, with the legendary John Wayne performing his own stunt, jumping his horse over that “four-rail fence,” is unforgettable, and a fitting way to tip one’s hat in respect to the sun setting on an era.

I’m asking for prayers for my 7month old Great Grandson Jackson. He has been sick for a week and they can’t figure out why he has been running a 104 fever. They have him in the hospital currently. Prayers please. Thank you. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Why don’t you celebrate his success instead of trying to shame him.
STFU and SIT DOWN. You create NOTHING, you build NOTHING and you employ NO ONE!!! You’ve lived off taxpayers for decades. You’re the problem, Pocahontas…. Not Elon!!!

Outstanding.
So, my son made it home alive after a week in the Florida woods for JROTC. He did better than expected and I’m so proud of him. They told him he’ll be a great leader someday! God I love my boy!

Agreed. I’ve always said that. Certainly made a difference for me.
Just my opinion but I think if America had a mandatory 2 years of service after high school, this country would look a lot different. Not even just military service in general. Military, community work, emergency response, infrastructure, helping others. You’d learn discipline. Respect. Responsibility. Meet people outside your bubble. Serve something bigger than yourself. I think we’d complain less, appreciate more, and maybe treat each other better. Don’t be a tool.

This article was 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."

A Child’s Journey With Their Father 5 years old - "Dad can fix anything!" 7 years old - "Dad is the strongest man I know." 10 years old - "Maybe Dad doesn't know everything?" 12 years old - "Dad doesn't understand my feelings." 14 years old - "Dad is so strict!" 16 years old - "Dad doesn't get my world." 18 years old - "Dad worries too much about me." 22 years old - "Dad is too old-school." 25 years old - "Maybe Dad was right about some things." 30 years old - "I should ask Dad what he would do." 35 years old - "Now I understand what Dad meant." 40 years old - "How did Dad stay strong through everything?" 50 years old - "I wish I could sit with Dad one more time." One day, you'll realize - he wasn't being overprotective. He was preparing you for a world he didn't fully trust.

Can’t fix stupid.
10 years. 10 years. I’ve listened to every Dem & never Trump pundit call Trump, Elon and anyone else who voted Republican a Nazi. And now they line up behind Platner, with an actual Nazi tattoo. Unbelievable.

Many of you may not know that I served for 8 years on the DOD honor Detail in Fort Smith, Arkansas as the electronic bugler. Every time I stood on the Honor Detail and raised that bugle this was my view. Not a crowd. Not a parade. Just row after row of white headstones stretching across the green hills of the Fort Smith National Cemetery. From where I stood, I could see the stones of men and women who had worn the uniform long before I did. Some had fought in wars history remembers. Others served quietly and came home to ordinary lives before making one final journey to that sacred ground. People hear the bugle and think it’s just a song. It isn’t. When those first notes of Taps leave that bugle, time seems to stop. Families cling to one another. Veterans stand a little straighter. Even the wind seems to soften. And as I looked through the curve of that brass instrument, all I could see were those headstones. I often wondered about the lives behind them. The young Marine who never got to grow old. The Army medic who came home carrying invisible scars. The sailor whose grandchildren only know him from faded photographs. For those few moments, it felt like it wasn’t just playing for the family gathered around the casket. It was playing for every single one of them. As a Marine, I was taught that we never leave our own behind. Standing there, bugle in hand, looking across that sea of white marble, I realized that promise doesn’t end when the battle is over. Your watch is over. Rest easy. We will remember.

Today should be Richard Best Day. Piloting a Dautless dive bomber, he sank two japanese carriers in battle of Midway. He led his squadron in the attack despite an oxygen system malunction that burned his lungs and permanently disabled him. Hall of Fame American Hero. Unbeatable.

How can our congressmen and women be so stupid? Why do they waste the American people’s time with questions like these?
