FDR is the most overrated president in American history and it is not close. People treat him like a saint. The reality is he inherited a recession and turned it into the longest depression in the history of the developed world. Every other major economy on earth recovered faster than the United States did under FDR. Sit with that. We had the most resources, the most industry, the most capacity, and we recovered slower than countries that got bombed. Unemployment was still 19% in 1938. Six years into the New Deal. Six years of "bold experimentation" and one in five Americans still could not find work. Why? Because his policies were economically illiterate. The NIRA cartelized entire industries and made it illegal to lower prices during a deflationary collapse. He paid farmers to slaughter livestock and plow under crops while people stood in bread lines. He launched a war on business so aggressive that investment dried up because nobody knew what insane rule was coming next. Even his own Treasury Secretary, Henry Morgenthau, admitted in 1939 that they had spent enormous sums and "it does not work" and that unemployment was as high as when they started. Then in 1937 his policies triggered a second brutal crash so embarrassing the textbooks gave it its own polite little nickname, the "Roosevelt Recession," so they would not have to attach his name to the failure in the obvious way. A UCLA study in 2004 concluded the New Deal prolonged the Great Depression by roughly seven years. Seven years of extra suffering sold to you as heroism. So what actually saved the economy? Not the alphabet agencies. Not the fireside chats. A world war. Twelve million men shipped overseas and the entire planet's industrial competition reduced to rubble. That is the "recovery." That is the legacy. Strip away Pearl Harbor and FDR is a guy who took a bad recession and stretched it into a decade of misery with bad economics and a cult of personality. He is not ranked on results. He is ranked on the luck of being in the chair when Hitler invaded Poland. Greatest marketing job in the history of the presidency. Nothing more.

🚨 BREAKING: Tucker Carlson announces he is no longer supporting the Republican Party. "There’s no chance I would support the Republican Party... how could I, or any American voters, support a political party that’s not loyal to the United States?"

I’ve genuinely never witnessed a couple with worse chemistry than this…

Oklahoma takes down North Carolina 13-2 to win the national championship, and for a seventh straight season, an SEC team has won it all. And with the Sooners winning it, Alabama has now lost to the eventual national champions in baseball, basketball and football in the 2025-26 school year.

This is our plan for the coming days. The next game we’ll attend is Germany’s Round of 32 match in Boston on the 29th. Since we have 7 days to get there, we decided not to take the direct route and instead make a huge detour through Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and a few other states. Any recommendations for places or cities to visit along the way are very welcome!

They realized the only way they can sell out Jordan-Hare is by doing concerts or soccer matches lmaoo

This is the most American I‘ve ever felt🇺🇸

"I hate boomers because they were able to buy a house for $40,000 in 1975 & now it's worth $600,000. I'll never have that!!" Yeah bro, you just have the internet, AI and 10,395 new ways to make insane amounts of money that those boomers didn't have. Maybe you can't get rich off of real estate. OK? $40K > $600K is $560K in profit... over 50+ years. And that's not factoring in the costs, like taxes, maintenance, interest etc. You live in an age where you can make $560K in profit in a single YEAR by starting your own business. With internet and artificial intelligence, your options are expansive. Yes, you unfortunately live in an era of inflation... but also abundance. Yes, you have to earn more, but there are so many more opportunities to do so for those willing to grind. Stop longing for a world that no longer exists and GET TO FREAKING WORK, young man.

“The stock market just hit a new all-time high... 401(k)s just hit a new all-time high and oil is dropping like a rock.” President Trump highlighted some economic wins during a White House Medal of Honor ceremony, where he is honoring three distinguished combat veterans for their service and sacrifice. “Other than that, it’s another day in paradise,” Trump added.

NOW: "Joy Behar is way tougher than the Iranians, and she and I are best friends now." VP Vance jokes about being a battle-tested negotiator after making it through his appearance on 'The View.' Vance also says he's not worried about Trump blaming him if talks with Iran "go sideways," saying he knows the president was only making a joke.
