Very few times have I EVER heard the Star Spangled Banner sang this impressively. Bravo chads 🥃

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."

ANTHONY RIZZO IS GOING TARPS OFF!!!

5 years ago today, Javier Báez pulled off one of the craziest plays ever & left the Pirates infield clueless 🤯

That smile on her face after she gave the carrots 👏😍

The entire country is rooting for Spencer Pratt

In case you were wondering what was at the end of a rainbow:

Cubs win. Reds lose. Cardinals lose. Brewers lose. A fine Sunday.

there's something so beautiful about a ballpark being in the middle of a neighborhood Wrigley Field is the absolute best

I wasn’t happy when Clinton, Obama or Biden won, but I didn’t call them fascist/dangerous/threat to democracy. I didn’t hope someone would assassinate them. I went on with my life with gratitude. Friends on the left, please try this. Your life and our country will be better.

RT @Rstorechildhood: Fauci said 15 days. It was 2 years. The media called parents "conspiracy theorists" for demanding open schools. Doz…

.@GovPritzker, @SenatorDurbin, @SenDuckworth:   (@ChicagosMayor is not worth responding to) Sheridan Gorman should be alive. So should my daughter Katie Abraham. Two young women. Two families destroyed. Same response from Illinois leaders: deflect, excuse, move on. I’ve lived this. After Katie was killed, I was told to stay quiet about the policies that made it possible. Just grieve. Don’t connect the dots. But that’s exactly why it keeps happening. Now we see it again: “Wrong place, wrong time.”
“National failures.”
“Sense­less violence.” No. These aren’t random tragedies. They happen in a political environment shaped by leaders who refuse accountability and protect failed policies. When preventable violence keeps happening and nothing changes, it’s not just tragedy—it’s acceptance. Accepted to preserve power. Accepted to protect ideology. That’s the truth no one in power wants to say. Sheridan should be here. Katie should be here. Enough. wsj.com/opinion/the-pols-who…

The Arizona Wildcats have arrived at McKale Center!

My sources inside Cook County Jail say Loyola murder suspect Jose Medina was hauled back to custody after court today—then, in a chaotic turn, rushed to the hospital after becoming violently ill due to his tuberculosis. And inside the jail, he's been a constant problem. Sources say Medina is extremely combative, repeatedly clashing with officers and guards and turning routine movements into volatile situations. Staff have to mask up just to move him—even for Zoom court appearances—and any area he enters has to be decontaminated afterward.

.@GovPritzker @SenatorDurbin @SenDuckworth — your failure hasn’t gone unnoticed. For 14 months, our family has lived with the loss of our daughter, Katie, killed on the streets of Urbana by an illegal immigrant who never should have been there, protected by the very policies you continue to defend. The simplest, most human response — acknowledging a life lost — was too much to expect. Our daughter was taken, and in return we were met with silence. That silence tells us everything we need to know about your priorities and your character. A choice to prioritize political ideology over public safety. A choice to protect narratives instead of Illinois families. A choice to erase stories like Katie’s because they are inconvenient. Katie was too good to be ignored. Too good to be erased. And we will not allow you to pretend she never existed. We see clearly where your priorities lie, and it’s not with the people you were elected to serve. So hear this clearly: do not treat the Gorman family the way you have treated ours. They deserve to be seen, heard, and respected, just as Katie did. Show them the accountability, transparency, and compassion you denied our family. Do not ignore them. Do not deflect. Do not hide behind empty rhetoric. Because the people of Illinois are watching, and we are done accepting silence as leadership. Say her name: Katie Abraham. Read my full testimony on my Substack: angeldadjoeabraham.substack.…
