My kid is in California, taking History classes, and they are teaching her about White Privilege BS at school, at a mandatory class. Instead of calling it a History class, they call it Ethnic studies! The official definition is the interdisciplinary study of race, ethnicity, and indigeneity with emphasis on the experiences of people of color in the United States, focused on four groups: African American, Chicano/Latino, Native American, and Asian American/Pacific. Where is immigrants from Europe that make part of all these ethnicities living together? The course units are Identity; Power, Privilege, and Systems of Oppression; Resilience and Resistance; and Action and Civic Engagement. Sample topics include intersectionality, white privilege, settler colonialism, the Chinese Exclusion Act, Indian Removal, and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Some materials and trainings have used language and consultants associated with more activist “liberated” Ethnic Studies frameworks, which is why the course has been politically contentious locally. @charliekirk11 we miss you.

You’re BROKE for a reason. And it’s NOT because you bought a new phone, ordered takeout, or forgot to grind harder. The price of money basically just went UP. Reason is BOND YIELDs. Yeah, sounds boring... so here’s the SIMPLE version: A "bond yield" is basically the return investors demand to lend money to the government. Simple example: If the govt wants to borrow money, investors can say, “Sure, but pay me more because inflation is high, debt is huge, and the future looks messy.” That “pay me more” is the bond yield going up. And because govt debt is seen as the safest loan in the economy, it becomes the starting point for almost every other loan. So if the “safe” borrower now has to pay 5%, your bank is not giving you a mortgage at 3%. They’ll also charge you MORE. Mortgages rise. Car loans rise. Credit card rates rise. Landlords push rents higher. Companies raise prices, slow hiring, or cut pay. That's how a boring bond chart turns into your wallet. Now you ask, "WHY are yields going up?" Because govts borrowed TOO MUCH. They kept borrowing again, and again, and AGAIN. Now investors are asking, “Are you actually good for this?” So they demand a higher return before lending more. That higher return is the YIELD GOING UP. So when money gets expensive, everything built on borrowed money gets expensive too. So NO, don’t blame yourself why you're BROKE. Blame the GOVERNMENT. Blame the SYSTEM. Blame the DEBT cycle. They borrowed from the future. Turns out, you were the future.

Trump's 2024 election victory exposed that the democrat party doesn't actually even have any blue states, just a bunch of really big blue sanctuary cities full of illegal immigrants that are voting.

Didn't these things failed miserably and nobody actually wanted them? This device has 5G in it, which means for the customer another line they have to subscribe and pay for. Nada not gonna make it.
Meta announces Muse Charm, a handheld gadget allowing people to utilize an AI personal agent without their phone, computer or glasses. Available in time for the holidays.

Don't forget ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNOW, and PBS all refused to broadcast the President's speech on election security.

When you remember that: Twitter permanently banned PRESIDENT TRUMP on January 8, 2021. Facebook and Instagram: suspended PRESIDENT TRUMP for two years on January 7, 2021. YouTube suspended PRESIDENT TRUMP on January 12, 2021. Snapchat permanently banned PRESIDENT TRUMP in January 2021 - and he remains banned. Twitch banned PRESIDENT TRUMP on January 2021. Reddit banned the r/DonaldTrump subreddit. And Shopify closed all Trump-affiliated stores... ..it becomes a lot harder to cry about deceptive media outlets having their White House credentials revoked... ...and clearer why it needed to be done, right?
