This man is so upset with his State Farm homeowners insurance that he put a sign in his yard to make sure everyone knew how he felt.

“Our house burnt May 13th, 2025 - Fully Insured at @StateFarm, all we have gotten is lies, denies, & delays.”

“People pay their premiums…”

In the minutes after Bill Mazeroski hit a 1-0 pitch over the left field fence to lead off the bottom of the 9th of Game 7 in 1960, my grandfather, Danny Murtaugh, was asked what he thought about Maz.

He said: “if my wife was on one side of me and Maz was on the other, and someone told me I had to kiss one of them, I’m not sure it would be my wife.”

No offense intended to my grandmother.

Rest in peace, Maz. Headed home once more.

It is with a heavy heart that we relay the news of the passing of legendary Pirates and National Baseball Hall of Famer, Bill Mazeroski.
Maz was a 7-time All-Star who hit the greatest home run in baseball history. He was a beloved member of the Pirates family and he will be deeply missed.

In 1783, King George III asked an American painter what George Washington would do now that he had virtually won the war. The painter replied that the General intended to return to his farm in Virginia. The King was stunned. He reportedly said, "If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world."

Throughout history, victorious generals almost always seized the throne. From Caesar to Cromwell, military success usually meant political dictatorship. The concept of voluntarily walking away from absolute power was practically unheard of. But George Washington wasn't like other men.

By December 4, 1783, the British surrender at Yorktown was past, and peace was finally assured. Washington commanded a powerful, seasoned army that adored him. Conversely, many of his officers were unpaid and angry at the inefficient Congress. They had the guns, the manpower, and the loyalty to install a new monarch. He could have been King George I of America.

Instead, on this day in history, Washington walked into the Long Room at Fraunces Tavern in lower Manhattan. The room was filled with his most loyal officers—men like Henry Knox and Baron von Steuben—who had frozen with him at Valley Forge and bled with him for eight long years.

The atmosphere wasn't celebratory. It was heavy with inevitable separation. Washington, usually stoic and commercially reserved, poured a glass of wine and looked at his brothers-in-arms with visible emotion. "With a heart full of love and gratitude, I now take leave of you," he said, his voice shaking. "I most devoutly wish that your latter days may be as prosperous and happy as your former ones have been glorious and honorable." He didn't order them. He didn't demand their allegiance. He hugged them.

One by one, the hardened soldiers wept openly. Washington embraced each man in silence. There was no pomp, no ceremony, and no speeches about future conquests. It was just a quiet goodbye between warriors who had done the impossible. Immediately after leaving the tavern, Washington didn't march on Congress to demand payment or power. He rode to Annapolis, Maryland, resigned his commission, and went home to Mount Vernon to plant crops.

He did the impossible.
He refused the crown.
He trusted the people.

By stepping down, he ensured that the United States would be a republic ruled by laws, not a kingdom ruled by force. He proved that the military serves the people, not the other way around. It was the final, and perhaps greatest, victory of the Revolution.
The world watched in awe as the American Cincinnatus returned his sword to its sheath, proving that character is the strongest constitution of all."

Bing Crosby's rendition of "White Christmas" is one of the most popular songs of all time

But did you know Crosby was also an owner of the Pirates?

The singer was such a fan that when the team played the Yankees in Game 7 of the 1960 World Series, he was nervous to the point where he thought watching the game would jinx them

So he left the country

Not trusting himself to leave the TV off, he took his family on vacation to Paris so he'd have no way of watching the game

Instead, he had the game recorded on 16-millimeter film, which was discovered at the family's home in San Francisco in 2009

If you buy a house for $200,000 and it’s worth $1,000,000 when you pass away, your children generally get a “step-up in basis” to the current value.

If they sell it right away, they pay no capital gains tax.

But if you gift it to them shorty before passing, they inherit your original $200,000 basis, and would owe tax on $800,000 in gains when they sell.

Tax planning matters.
