Why Are Teens Depressed?

The high price of spittin' tobacky?

You're lazy and stupid, but I think even you can realize how bad you screwed up by torching what was left of your credibility in 2022.

You could have admitted the economy sucked that year. Then if things improved you'd be well positioned to say "See? I'm not a mindless partisan. When the Biden economy was bad, I called it bad. But the truth is it's better now."

That's not what you did though. You spent the entire year in a comprehensive gaslighting campaign. You insisted only a crazy person would be dissatisfied with #Bidenomics. You actually defended Wall Street's worst year since 2008.

Because you just couldn't help yourself.

Because you're that emotionally invested in Joe Goddamn Biden.

LOL

Biden is our history’s stupidest and laziest President but let’s not exempt from your tirade the culpabe stupid incl Nobel Prize winners :
This man is emblematic of a whole class of folks so stupid that if they showed up a social gathering of normal people, they’d be pummeled

What's with all the chick writers? Women who are truly pro-liberty are extremely rare.

Teens need Jesus. From high school, family, friends, etc I have as huge a sample as I need to affirm : Without God you are headed into darkness. Yes, I know atheists and others who die ‘okay’ but what they do to those who remain is often criminal. You made it through with no horrors but those who remain often have/had horrors and you did them no good.
I am thinking right now of my good friend whose Mom committed suicide. The alcoholic Mom (though I have pity on that and she is the result of others’ unspiritual lves), the fool guy who never go married but left many women in a private unfulfilled Hell.

I smile at recalling the hugely happy male friend who got married decades ago after reading George Gilder's MEN AND MARRIAGE.
Unmarried males lead the pack in almost every crime and mental disorder category.
