Are we the Stupidest Generation?

Are we the Stupidest Generation?
"Seventy-five years ago yesterday, our greatest generation stormed the beaches of Normandy to pound the fetid bile out of socialism.
The Stupidest Generation has been honoring that sacrifice with a politically, historically, and philosophically lazy narcissism.  
Conspicuous consumption became the surrogate for liberty and personal responsibility.  
We've shown our respect by allowing our constitutional republic to slip perilously close to the rocky cliffs of socialism.
Yes, that socialism.
Time Magazine acknowledged Hitler's magnificent socialist achievements by honoring him as its 1938 Man of the Year.  
...Socialists have murdered well more than 100,000,000 innocent folks in the past 102 years, often in ghastly ways.  
This same form of socialism is alive and well in American politics.  
It is lying below the surface — and all they allow us to see are its brightly colored deceits..."

FBI: Company cheated taxpayers out of millions of dollars meant for Puerto Rico aid
"Two sister companies contracted to do recovery work for Puerto Rico are accused of pocketing millions of dollars without fulfilling the terms of their government contracts.
The government hired Textile Corporation of America to manufacture tarps for Puerto Rico after the island was devastated by Hurricane Maria in 2017.
TCA promised the Tennessee state government and the Tennessee Valley Authority, a federally-owned corporation, that it would create 1,000 new jobs at a textile mill in Pikeville, Tenn., and received the support of multiple state and federal officials.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency awarded TCA’s sister company Master Group USA a $30 million contract to produce 475,000 tarps for areas, mainly Puerto Rico, affected by hurricanes. FEMA awarded nearly $4 million before ending the contract.
The FBI filed affidavits in a federal court in Tennessee in October and February, alleging that TCA defrauded the TVA and the state of Tennessee by using fraudulent financial documents to secure millions of dollars in grant money..."

DHILLON: Trump Delivers The Google-Facebook Reckoning That Obama Refused | The Daily Caller

DHILLON: Trump Delivers The Google-Facebook Reckoning That Obama Refused | The Daily Caller:

The decision by President Trump and Attorney General William Barr to clear their regulators for action is a watershed moment, both in the history of antitrust law and in the evolution of Silicon Valley’s relationship with American society. After years in which the Obama administration delayed and thwarted any major action against the Big Tech companies, the decision has apparently even shamed some House Democrats into playing along.
This change of tack is long overdue; Google and Facebook are undoubtedly massive, manipulative monopolies.
