Damn straight. It turns out the Bible doesn’t call for the personality disordered, friend-zoned ex-friends of the deceased to run 10-month campaigns of slander against their wives in the name of the Lord.

⚡️The deeper signal is youth risk did not disappear. It migrated inward. Teen drinking fell because the old physical world of adolescence got dismantled. Alcohol belonged to a social ecosystem: unsupervised time, cars, parties, local jobs, malls, basements, boredom, flirting, older siblings, house gatherings, and the chaotic peer world where teenagers learned who they were by colliding with other people in real space. That ecosystem was replaced by phones, surveillance, parental tracking, algorithmic entertainment, social anxiety, online status games, and a much thinner physical commons. So the surface looks healthier. Fewer kids drinking. Fewer kids using weed. Fewer kids doing reckless things in public. The hidden layer looks worse. The young are less reckless because they are less socially embodied. Less initiation. Less unsupervised friction. Less courage-building. Less embarrassment and recovery. Less real dating. Less independence. Less contact with the physical world before adulthood demands it. The old teenage world produced damage, stupidity, alcohol abuse, pregnancy risk, fights, accidents, and bad decisions. No need to romanticize it. But it also produced social reps. It forced young people through discomfort. It made them practice attraction, rejection, conflict, reputation, risk, repair, and status in the open. The new world suppresses visible risk while increasing invisible fragility. That is the trade. A teenager can avoid drinking, avoid parties, avoid sex, avoid driving, avoid real confrontation, avoid rejection, avoid shame, avoid danger, and still arrive at 23 emotionally underbuilt. Cleaner behavior does not automatically mean stronger formation. This is why the marriage chart and the teen drinking chart are the same story at different stages. People are not suddenly failing to pair in adulthood. The whole pathway into embodied adulthood has been slowing for years before marriage even becomes the question. The real truth: society solved part of the teen vice problem by shrinking the arena where teenagers become adults. It took away the dangerous commons and replaced it with controlled isolation. The result is safer kids with weaker initiation into real life.

Real.

I want Trump to change ICE to NICE (National Immigration and Customs Enforcement) so the media has to say NICE agents all day everyday

Senator Tillis, I am a North Carolina resident and one of your constituents. Can you explain why you were not present to vote on the Save Act today?

Warning: If you receive this, it’s a scam. (I blacked out the QR code that the fraudster wants you to use.)

If you’ve got $10 and 2 minutes please help

Very upsetting that Trump in his first year and 3months can’t solve all of America’s multi-generational problems. VERY DISAPPOINTING

The layoffs should continue until the media improves.

Yep.

Iranian Cigarette girl burning the Ayatollah's photo is this generation's "Man in front of Tianenmen Square Tank". Let's hope this generation values it like we did.

🚨 The doomsayers predicted recession. Reality delivered a boom that’s embarrassing the experts. Again. #BoomEconomy 1. Private sector dominance: Since January 2025, 100% of net job growth has been private sector – no bloated government handouts propping it up. That’s America First in action. 2. Native-born American workers thriving: From January to November 2025, 2.7 million native-born Americans gained jobs. Meanwhile, foreign-born employment dropped – putting Americans first, exactly as promised. 3. Real wages reversing Biden-era pain: Real wages on track for a 4.2% jump in Trump’s first full year – outpacing inflation and flipping the script from years of declines. 4. Stock market hitting escape velocity: S&P 500 up over 16% year-to-date in 2025, with repeated all-time highs. Your 401(k) . 5. GDP defying the haters: Latest nowcast shows Q4 growth roaring at 3.5% annualized – solid consumer demand and investment laughing at the “slowdown” predictions. Smart people see the trend: Policies that reward work, cut waste, and protect Americans are delivering. The golden age isn’t coming – it’s here. And the losers are the ones who bet against it.

A shade for someone who truly deserves it.

Excellent and timely @lancewallnau
