My opinion of BLM, Antifa, and this idiotic election succinctly worded by the Mighty Boss Tones......... in order.....But that's just me. The Biden folks here are welcome to try and "correct" my perspective.
Lyrics below......
Slap the slogans on the t-shirts
Watch them fly out of the shops
I don't like what I've been thinking
And I think it's time it stops
Mad dash to be the first one
And I pray that it's not true
Are you trying to shift the spotlight
So the spotlight shines on you?
This might be of little interest, it could come as no surprise
The level of the interest I possess
I listen to the outrage while something inside me dies
The more I hear, the more I could care less
It is stale and it is stagnant
Ever fiber every fragment
Every second we waste on it is a shame
Grab your coat, now you'll be leaving
Hope that you had a nice evening
We thank you for your contribution
And we're glad you came
The cars came off the causeway with a healthy head of steam
Benefits, fund raisers, and events
I want to find out that this nightmare here is only a bad dream
Wake up and the world makes perfect sense
It is stale and it is stagnant
Ever fiber every fragment
Every second we waste on it is a shame
Grab your coat, now you'll be leaving
Hope that you had a nice evening
We thank you for your contribution
And we're glad you came

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."

That doesn’t stop her, her words fuckem, oh daddy I’m sorry didn’t mean to say that.There are more of them then I ever realize. However they are a minority.Wow, one of them gets it............

At 81, I am fortunate to have lived in those times.
I walked to school, {5 girls/3 boys in my grade school class!}, hitchhiked, or rode my bike, to get any place I wanted to go.
We had no tv, until a relative gave us a 12" round Zenith.
Were no cell fones. Our fone was a wall mtd crank fone, on a party line.
Cars? My dad had 1. The only one in the family.
My sis and I each had 2 sets of clothing. 1 for school, and 1 for every day play.
I've experienced 3 wars. Relatives and I participated in all 3. The USA has always come thru a winner!
Looking back, and comparing the way life is being lived these days, I'd much prefer to go back to 1950.
I find myself "going back" often, thru reliving the times I had the good fortune to experience.
I have only one surviving, long time friend. He's 83. We spend time on the fone, laughing to tears about some of the $hit we used to pull, the girls we chased, and of course, the cars we had.
Thank god for long term memory!
It's been a fun ride... Not so much now, as then.

That doesn't happen today. Students are taught to hate their parents, anything positive about capitalism and everything about the USA.

I was raised in the 60's, as many of you were.
Parents said this.......
8:00 AM in the summer........ "Go outside and play, be home before the street lights come on."
"Oh, you fell off your bike? Come inside, I have some Mercurochrome." ("Monkey Blood?".....sound of feet running away.....)
"You guys want to go for a ride in the back of the pick up truck?"
"Put this football helmet on, it will protect you when you crash the go kart."
" GOD DAMMIT (insert your name here)"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Go ahead boy, pee off the side of the boat, you're only raising the level of the lake."
An older brother.... "Have you tried putting TWO C67's in that model rocket? Bet it would go REAL high if you did....."
And finally ......... Dad saying.......
(Face Palm) "YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!!!!!!! YOU'RE DOING IT ALL WRONG!!!!!!!!!"
And yet, WE SURVIVED !
Feel free to add........

It's a good thing to get kids back in school, I think? But with the socialist bullshit they are teaching/feeding them is not! It's no coincidence that ANTIFA and BLM are millennials. Kids born 1990 and up their brains are totally fucked! If your reading this and born around that time maybe your the exception?
Can someone please translate this for me, I don't speak gibberish.
I can't believe this clown is ahead in the polls.

"You goofy damn simpleton, I told you not to get to close to the water"
That was a sarcastic remark about the polls.
Not barely a word in the msm about the President's younger brother passing yesterday.

I blame 90%+ of the crap going on now squarely on biff and muffy's shoulders. Not taking the time to instill righteous morals in their offspring. Being to lazy or greedy or both to take the time for proper upbringing. Know plenty of parents who immediately put new born babies in daycare, now there's a warm loving atmosphere to start out in. Both wanted to work so they could have toys and take BIG vacations. Most acted like obnoxious little bastards demanding everything they saw in the store. Laughed my ass off watching them trying to reason with a 3yo having a fit in the store. Only reasoning a 3yo can understand at that age is a slap on the ass. And number 1 reason, taking GOD out of the schools and everywhere else.

My kid was born in '94. Busted my ass trying to help him grow up right. Mom did, too. We divorced when he was 4. She married a good man and he did his best, too. We all tried really hard.
My son is a good kid, he lacks direction sometimes, but he has a good, honest heart, and he's on a good path, like a lot of kids his age.
Now, you want to talk about parents that FUCKED a kid up? Ask about mine.
It isn't the fucking generation, or if GOD is in the mix. Before my parents divorced, we went to church every Sunday.
It's the PARENTS, and what they DO to encourage OR to fuck a kid up. THAT is the key.
There are lots of dumb ass, selfish parents out there. LOTS. THAT is why we are where we are now.
Bitter? Maybe just a little.......
