@BobGolen Really? Love the griping about older generations. How about focusing on improving the world instead? And show me any data that says we are homesick for the past instead of embracing that which lies ahead

@james_xond Sure, just make sure you have enough money to do so. Can you save $5 million by age 50? And have children which is why we’re on this earth?

@MattH_4America Move to a better country, if you can find one. Otherwise suck it up and stop complaining

Saudi Prince MbS reveals that President Obama gave Iran $150B, and the IRGC didn’t even build a single street with that money.
Instead, they used the money to make missiles and drones. And on top of that, they also used the funds Obama provided them to finance and arm terrorists like Hamas, Ansar Allah, and Hezbollah. With these funds, Iran offers safe harbor to the leaders of Al Qaeda, including one of Osama Bin Laden’s sons who was indoctrinated into jihadism.
Obama is by far the worst man to ever set foot in the Oval Office. The neoliberals like Hillary Clinton, Victoria Nuland, Samantha Power, etc. who ran his administration did so deliberately in order to keep the region destabilized and to use Iran as a buffer to prevent the Gulf states and Israel from amassing too much prosperity.

@xevekiah Totally agree-there should be strict laws that the man financially support the child

if abortion is ILLEGAL, men abandoning their pregnant partners should be ILLEGAL too. if women can't opt out of PREGNANCY, then men shouldn't be able to opt out of FATHERHOOD either!

@SandyofSuffolk The biggest piece of bad advice by so called "experts" to kids has been "follow your passion"-no, find out what you are good at and find a job around that. BTW, use college to try new things, take chances, risks-something "experts" don't talk about when valuing college education

The trouble is young people have been told for years "you can be anything you want to be", when you can't. They've seen a handful of people make millions from being an influencer. They've all gone to university thinking it'll be a gateway to a better job when, really, if you're not exceptionally bright, you may as well not have bothered.
The majority of people have to settle for run of the mill boring jobs. And young people are resentful. They're waking up to the fact life is hard graft and to get anything you have to work hard, long hours, and forego many things that, until adulthood, were handed to them on a plate.
They're lashing out because too many people like teachers and their soft parents haven't prepared them for life in the real world. It's coming home to roost that life isn't all unicorns and gap years.
They want what nan and grandad have. Now. Now!! They forget how nan and grandad got it and it wasn't by sitting on their bums on Playstation.
Welcome to planet earth young 'uns.

@MLBaseball_Live Like enjoying Walker possibly living up to his potential?

@MLBaseball_Live 8 games in and a 4-4 record if we lose today and you're moaning? Realistically, everyone knew this would be a year of ups and downs. Suggest you enjoy the ups-my hope is that this is a learning year for young players to grow and deliver in 2028

This might be the most ugliest loss so far this season.
We've yet to see the A lineup this team could roll out - and it's silly
Dustin May looks forgot throwing 98 gas but somehow is terrible.
It's one of those sobering moments of what this team really is - and the reality of being sub .500 by the time we leave Detroit seems likely. #stlcards
The Nationals will host us having the better record - let that sink it

@kyler416 A much too early snarky comment-I thought we got rid of Mikolas lol

@kyler416 This will be a season of ups and downs-inconsisteny

@MLBaseball_Live A much too early in the season comment-I thought we got rid of Mikolas

@TheRoyalSerf ah, nothing like glittering generalities by a cynical person

I just got off the phone with someone who works in defense policy in Washington. What they told me should end every "Trump is reckless" argument permanently.
"Every single president since Clinton received the same intelligence briefing on Iran's nuclear timeline. Every single one was told the window was closing. Every single one chose to kick it down the road because the political cost of acting was higher than the political cost of waiting."
Trump got the same briefing. 60kg of 90% enriched uranium. 4 weeks to breakout. Material for 2 bombs.
He chose to act knowing it would tank his approval to 35%.
He chose to act knowing his own base would split.
He chose to act knowing NATO allies would refuse to help.
He chose to act knowing gas prices would spike.
A senior analyst I know at a major think tank put it this way: "The difference between Trump and every president before him isn't intelligence. They all had the same data. The difference is courage."
Read that again.
Every president had the same file on their desk. Only one opened it and did something.
I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

I hate to play into generational stereotypes, but they can feel very real sometimes.
I was traveling with my family last night, and we were in the hotel hot tub with two baby boomer couples.
They were going off about how much golf they’re playing. The conversation shifted to the war, and first they complained about Trump’s speech interrupting their shows, then about how the war is hurting their retirement accounts.
It was amazing to me that two couples who probably don’t have more than 15 years left didn’t say one thing about their posterity for a whole hour, but talked about golf, TV, and stock prices.
I’m a millennial, but I have daily conversations with multiple people from Gen Z, and the attitude feels completely different.
Gen Z seems optimistic but realistic. They know the fate of the future is in their hands, and they’re focused on making sure things are better for their future kids.
I honestly don’t know what happened to the baby boomers. I know many are great, but many can also be intolerable.

...After an awkward pause, Rep. Figures shrugs and says, “Everybody has ID…so I thought something a little bit different…” Indeed, his whole party is "thinking something a little bit different" from over 80 percent of the public. foxnews.com/politics/watch…
