Elon Musk is not stealing from you.
Gavin Newsom is stealing from you.
Karen Bass is stealing from you.
Tim Walz is stealing from you.
Elizabeth Warren is stealing from you.
AOC is stealing from you.
Becoming wealthy does not make you evil.
The people who take from you, promising to fix problems and then enriching themselves while trying to get you to hate those they're taking the money from... are evil.

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."

Elon Musk defended America better than every politician in Washington combined.
Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”
One nation on earth held a weapon nobody else had.
Total dominance. Zero competition. No risk of retaliation.
Every empire in history that held that kind of advantage used it.
Rome. The Mongols. The British. The Ottomans.
They conquered until they collapsed.
America had a bigger advantage than all of them combined.
And it rebuilt the countries it just defeated.
Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”
Almost unprecedented?
It had never happened before. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded history.
The Marshall Plan wasn’t foreign aid.
It was the most radical act of restraint any superpower ever committed.
America turned its enemies into allies. Turned rubble into economies. Turned surrender into partnership.
Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a generation.
Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.
Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.
A city in the heart of the nation that just tried to destroy it.
That’s not policy.
That’s a civilization deciding what it is at the exact moment it has the power to be anything.
You’re being told a story right now.
That America is the villain of history.
You hear it everywhere. Media. Universities. Social platforms.
Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”
Every nation on earth has dark chapters. Every single one.
The difference is what a country does when nobody can stop it.
And when nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.
Musk: “The history of China suggests that China is not acquisitive. Meaning they’re not going to go out and invade a whole bunch of countries.”
Probably right.
China has historically built walls, not fleets.
But the real question isn’t about borders anymore.
We’re approaching a moment that mirrors 1945 in ways nobody has fully processed yet.
AI is going to give a handful of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look quaint.
If someone is going to hold that kind of power, who do you want it to be?
The country that conquered when it could? Or the one that rebuilt when it didn’t have to?
Every alliance. Every trade route. Every economy.
Billions lifted out of poverty.
All of it traces back to one act of restraint that had never been done before.
And carries no guarantee of being repeated.
The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.
It was what it didn’t do after.

I was born in February 1947. When I was born:
17 states had "Jim Crow" laws authorizing legal segregation of hotels, restaurants, and other places of business, along with segregated schools, hospitals, transportation, pools, phone booths, cinemas, beaches, and even water fountains.
Jackie Robinson hadn't yet become the first black man to integrate major league baseball.
30 states had laws forbidding inter-racial marriages.
10 states had voter literacy tests.
6 states had poll taxes.
Black people were excluded from many skilled trades and government positions.
All branches of the military enforced racial segregation.
More than 100 lynchings of black men were still to come.
It was eight years before Rosa Parks was arrested for riding in the front of the bus.
Federal and local policies (redlining, restrictive covenants, FHA underwriting rules) and private practice kept neighborhoods segregated and limited Black homeownership.
I had graduated from high school before the passage of the Civil Rights Act.
So I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I hear some 25-year-old saying "This redistricting ruling is just like Jim Crow" … yeah, no. It's not. I lived through the real thing, and while racism still exists, it is NOTHING like the institutional, pervasive, common, unquestioned punitive racism of my youth.
To me, the change in the racial relationships in the US in my lifetime is nothing short of astounding … or at least it was until we elected Obama. I voted for him the first time, hoping that this would seal the deal and put racism in its grave.
Instead, he fomented and supported racism, pushing hatred between the races, advocating for DEI villainization, backing BLM and the "Hands Up Don't Shoot" hoax, and claiming that white people were the cause of all of the suffering of black people.
And astoundingly, he and his wife are still pushing that same line. The US has given them everything—fame, fortune, power … and they're using it to tell us just how hard their lives are.
Seriously?
Sorry. They live better than 99.999% of the planet. They have zero to complain about. I've seen real racism, up close and personal … and this ain't it.
So let us continue to work through this most contentious issue, but let us start from the fact that we have come immensely far, that we've been amazingly successful in getting rid of virtually all organized and institutional racism, and that unlike the ugly reality of my youth, racism is now ILLEGAL in the US.
I've worked all over the world—Africa, Asia, Europe, Central and South America, Australia, the Pacific islands, and I will tell you that of the 35 countries I've worked in or visited, the US is one of the least racist countries of all.
As I said, it doesn't mean there's no racism … but please, let's attack what's left from a position of previous huge success, not from a position of failure.
In the hopes of better times and better understandings between the races, I remain,
Yr. Obdt. Svt.,

Professor Gad Saad: ‘Say Goodbye To America, it’s all Over’
Gad Saad says America will fall to Islam, and we will allow it to happen
He categorizes it as a “Stage 4 cancer”
“We are approaching stage 4, but there is a cure. Here's where I get pessimistic. The problem is that there is no indication that the West has the stomach and the testicular fortitude to actually implement what is easily available.
So for example, when it comes to immigrants, any immigrant that belongs to an ideology that has tenets that are contrary to the Western tradition, that ideology should be banned. And you can't use the freedom of religion argument to render us all impotent as we go to the abyss of infinite lunacy. So there is a way to solve it.
I worry that nobody has the ability to do so”
What he’s talking about is Hijrah (Islamic migration for conquest), combined with higher birth rates and exploiting Western freedoms and guilt against itself
He says Islamist theorists have openly declared this strategy, and the West lacks the testicular fortitude to respond with ideological vetting and bans on doctrines opposing liberal democracy. Mainly sharia supremacism
There is a “cure”
- Ban immigration from groups whose core ideology conflicts with Western traditions
- Reject “freedom of religion” as a shield for supremacist political ideologies
- Prioritize cultural compatibility over empathy signaling
Literally common sense

Reminder that the Iranian Revolution started as a student-led leftist Marxist movement to overthrow the Shah. Then Muslims joined in, presenting themselves as ‘anti-imperialists’ too.
Once the Islamic regime took power, those same leftist students and their progressive ideals were the first to be killed.
Leftist students in American and Western universities are literally making the same mistake right now. They never learned the lesson.

Jonathan Haidt just delivered a sharp warning about where identity politics has gone wrong.
He argues we need both left and right — a healthy yin-yang of perspectives. But many current left-leaning policies and academic approaches that frame everything as oppressor vs oppressed are ramping up destructive tribalism. Instead of highlighting common humanity, they push binaries that turn normal rivalry into hatred.
Haidt uses sports as analogy: friendly competition builds energy and effort. Take it too far and you get soccer hooligans smashing skulls. The better path? Address real issues of exclusion while constantly emphasizing what unites us.
This resonates because I’ve watched how quickly “us vs them” framing turns disagreement into something toxic. Balanced tension sharpens ideas; constant moral warfare just fractures trust.
In deeply polarized times, remembering shared humanity and the value of constructive disagreement could be key to keeping institutions and societies from breaking down.
Have we let identity politics go too far down the division route, or is this framing still essential for addressing real injustices?

"Coming in here acting like y'all representing some social justice... when all along all you going is trying to use black people to find a reason to make some money!"
PREACH IT!!!!

Besides an insatiable appetite for control, what defines the Left is an equally insatiable appetite for envy. No one epitomizes these vices today better than New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a young Muslim man born to privilege who has never had a real job.

🚨 REP. WESLEY HUNT (R-TX) just gave the PERFECT response:
Q: There won't be any black Republicans left in the House?
HUNT: "It's not relevant."
"I'm not here because I'm black."
"I am here because I am a qualified representative for Congressional District 38."
"The American people choose who they want to choose."
"I don't want to get into this game of RACE BAIT all day, every day."
"If there's 4? If there's 10? If there's NONE."
"I represent a white majority district that President Trump would have won by over 20 points, and I won by over 25 points."
"I'm being judged not by the color of my skin, but the content of my character."
