@Grok: Is Massachusetts seriously about to create a permanent, taxpayer-funded state commission that exists only for Muslims, meanwhile offering absolutely nothing equivalent for Christians, Catholics, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Mormons, or any other religious (or non-religious) group on the planet?
I testified in front of the Senate today on the widespread fraud crisis in America. Since I exposed the fraud in Minnesota, it unleashed a war on fraud across the country. The fraudsters got away with it for so long they had literal “Learing Centers” that received millions of dollars from your taxes.
When I first started making journalistic-style videos, I made it my mission to “show the world the reality of things as they really are.” Nothing was ever meant to be right or left, it was simply to show people what was happening from the source.
Fraud affects every American because we all pay taxes, and the money being stolen comes from ALL of us, not a Republican or a Democrat. Hopefully people and politicians can realize that.
Spalding’s leader is moving on.
Head varsity football coach Kyle Schmitt is stepping down after 13 years, he told the Capital Gazette on Wednesday morning, to become the tight ends coach at Maryland, his alma mater.
Schmitt transformed Spalding from a middling Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference program into a nationally ranked powerhouse. The Cavaliers have won four consecutive conference titles and are coming off a 10-2 season in which they finished the year ranked No. 2 by The Baltimore Sun. He went 101-36-1 during his tenure in Severn.

No more perverts in office.
Stand for something or fall for anything and I’m not falling for anything.
Me and my sis @theangiestanton confronted Ed Markey to make one thing clear: he does not represent women, and he does not protect women.
Markey has been in office since the 1970s.
Let that sink in.
He’s served as a U.S. Senator since 2013, before that spent decades in Congress, and even earlier in the Massachusetts state legislature. That’s nearly 50 years holding power.
This is exactly the problem.
These seats were never meant to be lifetime thrones. When the same people stay in power for half a century, they stop serving the people and start serving themselves. There is no way this man is the best, brightest, or most in touch with what’s happening right now.
I don’t believe he’s the only option.
I don’t believe there’s no one younger, smarter, or more connected to the reality we’re living in.
And I don’t believe the people have truly been given real alternatives.
If the system keeps recycling the same faces forever, then yeah it needs a facelift.
Accountability matters.
Representation matters.
And silence is no longer an option.
Enough is enough!
David Friedberg: California’s “Billionaire Tax” is a Trojan Horse to Go After the Middle Class's Private Assets
@friedberg:
“The reason they're calling it a billionaire tax is to make it easier for people to vote for it, and sign up to this entirely new tax system that they're proposing to put on all Americans at some point, and for the first time ever degrading our private property rights.”
“Forget about how much wealth you have, forget about how rich you are, forget about the term billionaire, millionaire, whatever it is.”
“We're creating, or proposing the creation, of a new tax system that allows the government for the first time ever to come in and audit everything you own.”
“All the jewelry your grandma gave you, the value of all the couches in your house, the value of your car, the value of all your stocks and bonds, and the government can come in, and for the first time, look through the veil into your personal property.”
“And say, ‘Here's how much all this stuff is worth. I'm charging you a percentage of that. That's what I need to get paid.’ And it doesn't matter that it starts with billionaires. What matters is that we're giving the government the right to look into our private property and take a percentage of it every year.”
“The total net worth of billionaires in the US is $8 trillion.”
“The net worth of the US, the middle class, and everyone else is $170 trillion, compared to $8 trillion of the billionaires.”
@chamath:
“They need a way to open the door so that they can go after the real honey pot.”
“The real honeypot is not 200 people.”
@friedberg:
“Just so everyone understands the real goal of this is not to tax billionaires, because there are other ways to tax billionaires.”
“Charge them a capital gains tax if they borrow against their assets that they haven't paid capital gains tax on. Very simple, that can resolve this.”
“Another thing you can do, you can raise the capital gains tax rate. Sounds unpopular. I don't agree with that, but that's another way to deal with this, which is to take the capital gains tax rate from 20% to 30%. You could do that.”
“The real goal of this is to create, for the first time in American history, a private property asset seizure tax. Because they're going after the $170 trillion, not the $8 trillion that the billionaires have.”
Massachusetts GOP candidate for governor @ShortsleeveMA reviews the 12 taxes and fees added to your electric bill that total 2/3 of your bill and calls for the @MassSave program to be reduced. #mapoli
Why the Somali fraud wasn't called out by more Minnesotans is clear.
They're black immigrants, and critics don't want to be called racist.
As a son of African immigrants, I'll say: Some cultures are incompatible.
Immigrants who won't choose American culture shouldn't be here.
Journalist Nick Shirley EXPOSES a Somali daycare in Minnesota with no kids yet receiving millions in funding.
They slam the door in his face.
“You have 102 children, and you got $2.66 million dollars? Where’s the money?”
Well done @nickshirleyy
