I cant help but notice how Sam continues to talk about losing respect of the world and doesnt see the direct correlation to cutting off the money. If the respect we are getting is from having to pay them billions of dollars, it is easier to have them respect our might. They need us more than we need them, but please continue to weep over the leaches losing their money that previous administrations made the priority. I am ok with spending that on Americans, but you do you.
To be fair, you need a working brain cell to understand the correlation.
Imagine seeing the usaid dirty laundry aired, knowing without a doubt you are being manipulated, but..... leaning fully into the manipulation.
Lol lawd.
Lol lawd.
Remember all the complaints about video games going woke? It was no accident:
Younger people are easier to persuade. For awhile they were being programmed with fake news, etc. They are now living with the results of horrible liberal policies and have access to legit news on X and other outlets. In short, they are wising up.
Any theories?
My main one is they watch more TV, rely on cable news for their info. My buddy's 70 something mom is like this. Has CNN/MSNBC on all day long.

"
Boomers lived life on easy mode - better economy, interest rates, no DEI, low crime, high-trust society, good stock market, low house prices, etc. This made them soft, lazy.
You'll have a guy who bought his house for $60k in 1982 tell a guy today to pull himself up by his bootstraps when that same house now costs $300k to buy. It's an impossible task. Unless the housing market completely collapses - something boomer politicians will never allow - the way things shook out is the old mortgaged the future of the young and simply took the money and run. They're all on golf courses in Florida while we're out here cleaning off the backs of trucks for a few extra dollars."

They're not. They've got an army of illegals and enough legals that could effectively join them. They have comms and they have had enough money over 12 years to build an arsenal. It's not the basement dwellers that will be fighting. It's the military age males from ME, FE, EEu, & SA.
lol budget is running so dry at USAID they couldn’t afford an actor for their 60 Minutes production and had to send out Samantha Powers speech writer.
You asked for it, buddy.
You think you're better than me because you bought a house for $17 and a bag of grapes and you're now retired sitting on a bag of cash like Scrooge McDuck while your wife calls the cops on the Latino landscaper thats cuts grass at a length not approved by the HOA?
I'm just messing with ya, man.
There was no easy mode for this boomer. Started cutting grass in the 6th grade to make money and shoveled snow in the winters. When I got my first job at 16 I made $1.65/ hour which was min wage. Paid my own way thru college while working. I know what responsibility means and that has gotten me thru life. I am 71 and still working with hopes of retiring someday soon. I earned every effing penny I have ever made.

It would not be possible for you to pay for college today like you did in a time where someone could wait tables to pay for tuition. It's apples to oranges in terms of cost and opportunity. Boomers also didn't have to deal with immigration like this, DEI policies, AI, etc. Not to mention, the cost of housing (I'm a homeowner so this isn't sour grapes).
I once interviewed Jim Host who got a huge ass loan by a handshake deal to create everything he got. That world does not exist.
I'm not denying your work ethic. I'm simply saying you did not operate on the same playing field as younger people currently do.

Meanwhile up north, our largest trading partner in the world just said FU Trump.
I don't know who is the current kinder, gentler version of Gassy. The pt needs you. America needs you.
Knowls left us brother. Never to return. He went to an ass eating farm in Wyoming or Montana. Some people are happier off the grid...and just eating women's buttholes. Only if they are vegan of course...

Boomers didn't live life on easy mode. Their parents loved through the depression and 2 World Wars. Many of their parents were scarred by this, and they were raised with a scarcity mentality. Some worked jobs full-time from the age of 13 to support their family after losing parents to war and and its after effects. A lot of them built their own homes.
They served in the military, then worked 2-3 jobs to pay their bills, raise a family, and save for the ffuture. They lived through high mortgage rates and gas rationing, Vietnam, and the cold war with higher prices on everyday goods than this generation has ever dreamed of.
The late 50s thru very early 70s saw a boom in US manufacturing. Our production was sold worldwide. Then the unions took over and union wages (and costs) went through the roof. Manufacturers moved south, bought cheaper parts and machines from countries without the same wage scale, and the death of our manufacturing began.
By the time 1982 came around, the Midwest was a shell of its former self. Unemployment was high and stayed there for a while as manufacturing began to shift massively overseas. The real unemployment numbers were hidden because many just stopped looking for work or took service jobs to survive. Actual wages dropped for many people, while average wages for new employment rose.
Minimum wage in 1982 went up to $2.50hr. Yep. $2.50. (Some big cities were higher, but none above $3.35.) It did that because millions of people could no longer find real wages and career employment. It also did that because an increasing number of 16-20 yr olds didn't have a hs diploma (effects of the war on education started in the late 1800s) and many of the ones who did graduate couldn't get into or afford college. They went into the military or trade schools to find work.
So, sure, a home in 1982 could be $60k as minimum wage was between $2.50-2.75hr. That same home could be $300k NOW (especially after the false scarcity created by the banks driving prices up the last 8 years). But anyone who has actually gone to work knows minimum wage for a FT job out there is $10-15 depending on the job. With a little effort, you can work as a server at a restaurant and make a LOT more per hour than that. Easily $20-25 an hour at a busy place. Staying home and pouting isn't going to get it done, but minimum wage is still 5x what it was in 1982, just like a home is 5x what it was in '82.
Nurses (male and female) make $27-43hr in Lexington KY. Certified software techs make $22-45hr.
I was at one time between jobs fighting for a $7hr job in the mid 80s. $7hr.... My buddy worked a little retail 2nd job at the holidays 2 years ago and got about $12hr. Never btched about it, because it was easy and had really flexible hours.
The only asholes on "easy mode" are the ones who aren't even trying to work, living off of their parents without contributing to anything but their dopamine addiction. Go fkng work!
Edit.....
Neighbor just paid 2 guys $500 to clear a lot of weeds, brush and debri. Took them a solid 6 hours in 32° weather. They said neither one complained or asked for anything. They just worked and got paid. $40hr before expenses.
Life is what you make of it.

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. pledges “NOTHING is gonna be off limits” in chronic disease investigation
“The childhood vaccine schedule, electromagnetic radiation, glyphosate, other pesticides, ultra processed foods, artificial food additives, SSRI and other psychiatric drugs, PFAs, PFOAs, microplastics.”
“Some of the possible factors we will investigate were formally taboo or insufficiently scrutinized.”
“Whatever belief or suspicion I have expressed in the past, I’m willing to subject them all to the scrutiny of unbiased science.”“That is gonna be our template: unbiased science.”“That’s something that will make us all proud of this agency and of our role in restoring American health.”
“Let’s use protocols that we all agree on in advance and not alter the outcomes of the studies when they’re halfway through and that look inconvenient.”
“Let’s all depoliticize these issues and reestablish a common ground or action and renew the search for existential truth with no political impediments and no preconceptions.”
I'm a simple man...All I want is the official White House account to post videos of people being put in chains:
The 80s were good times.
So funny how many losers on here were apparently spending all their evenings watching a show called Corky while I was working, partying, taking classes and getting busy with the ladies. 🤣🤣
I also missed out on Seinfeld and most the hit shows in the 90s. Love it now but was waaaay too busy back then with my job, coaching, friends, wife and kids in the 90s to sit on my ass watching TV.
Had better things to do with my time.
I did make time for UK sports.
Guess they thought everyone was sitting around in their boxers on a Saturday night watching Corky TV. 🤣
Probably right, but with the right lawyer & data showing that the ticket is out of the ordinary for the police force for that behavior, maybe it could be argued successfully in court.
Out of everything of the last month, this legitimately bothers me the most. I guess I thought, for all these years, that if the curtain was finally pulled back and leftists were forced to see what democrats have been doing, then SURELY they’d join us in demanding change.
But no, the exact opposite. They WANT TO SUPPORT FRAUD. And that’s the bothersome part- there’s absolutely no way to co-exist with these people.
There is a full on war happening in the gaming sphere right now. It has been dubbed Gamergate 2.
Gamergate was thought to be a one off and a victory for the non woke, but now there is a gamergate 2 taking place. Those of you who think you don't need to give a shit about something so stupid should rethink. Video games are played by most people in the world right now. It is the ultimate battleground in the fight for the mind of all ages.
TPTB have invested tons and tons of money into inserting their woke messaging into gaming to the point that games are nearly unplayable now. We are talking hundred of millions per game. COD Cold War cost 700M to make in 2020. They made well over 1-1.5B in returns.
The good news is that there is some serious pushback from gamers to the point that some studios are starting to fail even with the massive outside investments. The bad news is that there is so much money that these companies refuse to turn it down.
What about videos of all the resignations from government workers who refuse to work for a dictator?
Leader of FDA food division resigns
Jim Jones’ resignation comes after the Trump administration last week cut thousands of federal workers, including some at the FDA.

While I'm on the topic, a good friend of mine knew a guy who needed some help at the end of summer. He had lost his crew - falling out over money/work or something - but my buddy took some time off from his regular job to help his friend out with his landscaping company.
Worked his ass off for about a week in the August heat and humidity of KY for $25 per hour, knowing full well the guy running the company was making a lot more money from the job than him. Never bitched. Enjoyed the work in fact. Dude's almost 60yrs old and worked with another guy helping him out that WAS OVER 60.
Healthy young adults btching about work and money can go stuff themselves.

Lol. Thought the same, but there's no way to know from here. No desire to find out which way that road runs
Nobody wants fraud.
They just want fraud and waste removed legally and strategically..... Vs by bulldozer and dynamite.

That’s what we voted for dumbass.
Whoop whoop isn't paying for anything out of her multi-million dollar part time gig. She's a troll on the level of shamstain and can barely get a response from her audience because they know she's FOS.
This boomer bought his first house in '74 for $40K at 8.5% interest & making $15K/yr. Sold it 12 years later for $80K. At that rate, would double to $160K in '98 and double again to $320 in 2010. So how is that $40K house less expensive than one $300K today at 7% mortgage? Home interest rates went to 14% in 70's and no one bought anything. The stock market was dead for 10 years.
Any theories?

The guys who let poisons be put in what the FDA calls "food" are resigning? Are you serious?
Oh nooooo.
It wouldn't be because their communications, remunerations, and decisions are about to be made public would it?
Rational people- "Why would looters run when the police show up?"
Leftists- "Oh, yeah, because it's the police that are the problem...."
Rational people- "Pests spread disease and cause health problems."
Leftsists- "Those poor cockroaches are running from the light.... we have to help them."
@sambowieshin since you're worried about who will do all the jobs illegal immigrants had, looks like the fed is giving plenty. They can learn to code too!
