I hope everyone will read Dave Ramsey’s comments about going cashless. It’s a two minute read. No one has explained it better. He brings up several situations I'd never considered.
I took this picture of my receipt in my beautiful town Kerrville Texas. I support this and I can see how this could affect our kids by having gaps in work ethic, financial literacy, and community connection.
Dave Ramsey repost:
HERE'S WHAT NO CASH ACTUALLY MEANS:
A cashless society means no cash. Zero. It doesn’t mean mostly cashless and you can still use a ‘wee bit of cash here & there’. Cashless means fully digital, fully traceable, fully controlled. I think those who support a cashless society aren’t fully aware of what they are asking for. A cashless society means:
* If you are struggling with your mortgage on a particular month, you can’t do an odd job to get you through.
* Your child can’t go & help the local farmer to earn a bit of summer cash.
* No more cash slipped into the hands of a child as a good luck charm or from their grandparent when going on holidays.
* No more money in birthday cards.
* No more piggy banks for your child to collect pocket money & to learn about the value of earning.
* No more cash for a rainy day fund or for that something special you have been putting $20 a week away for.
* No more little jobs on the side because your wages barely cover the bills or put food on the table.
* No more charity collections.
* No more selling bits & pieces from your home that you no longer want/need for a bit of cash in return.
* No more cash gifts from relatives or loved ones.
What a cashless society does guarantee:
* Banks have full control of every single penny you own.
* Every transaction you make is recorded.
* All your movements & actions are traceable.
* Access to your money can be blocked at the click of a button when/if banks need ‘clarification’ from you which will take about 3 weeks, a thousand questions answered & five thousand passwords.
* You will have no choice but to declare & be taxed on every dollar in your possession.
* The government WILL decide what you can & cannot purchase.
* If your transactions are deemed in any way questionable, by those who create the questions, your money will be frozen, ‘for your own good’.
Forget about cash being dirty. Stop being so easily led. Cash has been around for a very, very, very long time & it gives you control over how you trade with the world. It gives you independence.
If you are a customer, pay with cash. If you are a shop owner, remove those ridiculous signs that ask people to pay by card. Cash is a legal tender, it is our right to pay with cash. Banks are making it increasingly difficult to lodge cash.
Please open your eyes. Please stop believing everything you are being told. Almost every single topic in today’s world is tainted with corruption & hidden agendas.
Pay with cash & please say no to a cashless society while you still have the choice.
Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815.
Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the crusades. We weren't at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer. Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did.
Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”
Every time Whoopi Goldberg opens her mouth about racism, hate, and “division,” I flash right back to that 1993 Friars Club roast.
There she was, glowing, laughing, loving every second, while the man she was dating, Ted Danson, strutted on stage in blackface, cracking jokes at her event.
She didn’t storm out.
She didn’t scream “racism!”
She was beaming. Happy as hell.
Yet today, we’re supposed to believe she’s outraged by the very things she once laughed through and defended.
Because that’s what I can’t reconcile.
She’s a paid performer. A Hollywood lifer who has spent decades in the spotlight, and to me, the contrast between then and now raises a lot of questions.
She’ll condemn behavior today that she appeared willing to overlook when it involved someone close to her.
Hands down.
That’s why I have a hard time taking the outrage seriously.
The hypocrisy is so thick you could cut it with a knife.
Wake up, folks… She’s a Hollywood grifter!
So the Pope met with David Axelrod last week. David Axelrod. Obama's campaign architect. A man who is not Catholic, has never met a pope before, and whose entire career has been engineering political narratives for the American left.
And then, by pure coincidence, the Pope immediately started lobbing shots at the Trump administration, and three US Cardinals popped up on 60 Minutes doing the same thing.
All organically, I'm sure.
I'm a practicing Catholic. I need you to understand that part. But in my opinion, Trump has all the right to lash out at him. Maybe you'll disagree, but in the end, Trump talks like Trump. Water is wet. I'm talking about MY Church being run like a DNC satellite office but with a golden throne.
This is the same Vatican that watched governments padlock churches during COVID and said nothing. That let Biden take communion while funding abortion and said nothing. That fired Bishop Strickland for defending actual Church doctrine. That removed Bishop Fernández in Puerto Rico for defending religious exemptions THE CATECHISM ITSELF supports.
But somehow Trump is the threat to human dignity.
Pope Francis was bad. Leo has turned out to be worse. Francis at least was vague about his politics. Leo went and hired the consulting firm.
The man has ignored the slaughter of Christians across Nigeria, the Sahel, India, Syria, Bangladesh, Pakistan. Hundreds of believers murdered, churches burned, pastors kidnapped. His response? Platitudes about dialogue.
OF COURSE he won't even name who's doing the killing.
But he'll fly across continents to make interfaith gestures the week after his people coordinated a media hit on a sitting US president.
The weaponization of belief is obvious. You get the Pope to pick a fight with Trump, and suddenly millions of conservative Catholics have to choose between their faith and their vote.
I used to view Donald Trump simply as a solid, effective president... someone who delivered results on the economy, borders, and foreign policy without all the usual political polish.
But over time, I've come to see something much bigger: the entire American political system has been rotten and corrupt for decades. It's not just isolated scandals or bad actors; it's a deeply entrenched network of career politicians, unelected bureaucrats, lobbyists, intelligence agencies, and media gatekeepers who operate as a self-protecting "uniparty" or "swamp."
They prioritize their own power, insider deals, endless wars, and special interests over the actual needs of everyday Americans. Elections often feel like theater, with the same outcomes no matter who wins—more debt, more control, more erosion of freedoms.
What sets Trump apart is that he's the only major figure in modern politics who's truly taken on that machine head-on and actually shaken it. Previous leaders talked tough about reform but ultimately played along with the system, got rich from it, or were too tied into it to challenge it meaningfully.
Donald Trump, as a DC outsider who didn't need their approval or their money, has exposed the corruption, fought back against weaponized institutions, and forced the hidden power structures into the open... even when it meant relentless attacks, impeachments, indictments, and lawfare aimed directly at him and his children.
He's far from perfect, and the battle is far from over, but for the first time in my lifetime, someone has genuinely threatened the status quo and refused to back down. That's why the pushback against him has been so ferocious: he represents the real possibility of dismantling the corrupt system rather than just managing it.
To me, supporting him now isn't just about one good presidency... it's about finally having a fighter who's willing to take on the whole rigged game for the sake of the country, and God help us if he fails.
I need you to get mad.
What don’t you understand?
The democrats gerrymandered our maps for decades, while Republicans sat back and watched — “Midwest nice” — “Utah nice.”
The democrats took down our borders, cut down fences, and allowed millions of illegal aliens to invade us.
Then, they used the illegal immigration invasion to overcrowd our schools, hospitals, and housing.
Then, the democrats counted them — illegal aliens — in the Census for the specific purpose of diluting American votes — taking away House seats from legal Americans.
With 500,000 homeless and 50,000 homeless veterans, democrats pushed Americans into the streets and welcomed their new voters into taxpayer-funded homes and hotels.
Democrats watched as illegal aliens murdered our people; from rapes, to DUI, to death by opioids.
They welcomed the Cartel and MS-13 to grow like a cancer within our country.
We are nothing to the democrat party. Their own voters are nothing to them. Just pawns — just chess pieces in a game stacked against the American people.
Then, they tried to bankrupt President Trump.
Then, they stole an election from him.
Then, they fried to remove him from the ballot.
Then, they tried to imprison him.
Then, they tried to kill him.
Through immense peaceful blood, sweat, and tears, we gave President Trump the POPULAR vote in 2024.
We won everything — except Senate seats down ballot because it was never in the plan to allow us a 60-seat threshold.
Democrats may be a lot of things, but they know Republican Senators will always be weaker than they are.
Now, with a Republican White House, House, and Senate, our weak Republican Senate is on the verge of giving democrats ultimate power.
Even in control, Republican Senators are incapable of wield powering and delivering victories.
With 84% of Americans in agreement for photo ID and proof of citizenship, spineless jellyfish would rather deliver decline than seize this great opportunity handed to them on a golden platter.
Why aren’t you shouting to the rooftops?
Why are you scrolling social media instead of writing letters?
Why aren’t you planning a peaceful trip to DC to meet with your Members of Congress?
Why are you not calling and texting everyone you know to empower them to take action?
Courage is contagious.
We, American people, will simple not tolerate inaction. We expect results. We demand results. We will not sit back and watch our Republican Senate hand victories to the democrats because they are too busy taking weeks off instead of daring to work on behalf of the American people.
Get mad.
Be peaceful, but — for the love of our nation — take peaceful, positive action.
🚨DIGITAL WARRIORS PUT ANTI-ICE FORCES ON THE RUN
Last night, the X community witnessed an unprecedented takedown of anti-ICE agitators in Minneapolis through real-time digital warfare.
What started as an infiltration operation exploded into a full exposure of networks involving protesters, funders, and potentially high-level politicians.
Here’s the full breakdown of how it unfolded—strap in, this is wild.
It all kicked off with @camhigby, who had been undercover in multiple Signal chats used by anti-ICE groups for days (possibly longer). These chats were hubs for coordinating protests, sharing resources, and organizing against ICE operations in Minnesota. Cam was posing as an insider (one alias was “Betty” via @bitchuneedsoap’s involvement), gaining trust and access to admin-level discussions.
As the evening progressed on Jan 25, Cam began downloading and leaking massive troves of data live on X.
This included:
• Member lists from vetting groups, revealing hundreds of participants (he dropped one fresh list with every single member, promising several hundred more).
• Chat logs showing panic among activists, like the infamous screenshot where users freak out: “SIGNAL IS NOT SECURE… Flan has been exposed. We’re all fucked. I need to leave this state.” And responses like “Should I leave too? Maybe best to get out of country… I have contacts in Cuba.” (Watermarked by Cam himself—iconic).
• Resource documents directing donors to sites like “Stand with Minnesota,” which funneled money through “Tending the Soil” on https://t.co/0NzjcsLwYt. This exposed potential foreign involvement, with the first donor being Jonny Soppotiuk, a Canadian community organizer in Chuffed’s leadership.
While Cam was pulling data, @0hour1 jumped in with OSINT magic, tracing communications to physical locations, identifying key players, and hunting down protest bases. Highlights from 0hour:
• Exposed how protesters mistakenly destroyed civilian cars thinking they were ICE vehicles.
• Called out Minneapolis police for abandoning officers and residents, leaving federal police to step in and protect property.
• Linked figures like Keith Ellison’s associate David Gottfried (who locked his account) to the chats.
• Urged President Trump to declare it an insurrection and take over Minneapolis, citing planned attacks on federal assets.
Then @DataRepublican tied it all together with deep analysis on funding and networks:
• Compiled a downloadable spreadsheet of 4,000+ donors with possible identities (link was shared: https://t.co/tiyiO6cvdU).
• Highlighted how churches like New Creation Lutheran in Shakopee coordinated food for activists, potentially laundering donations as “living expenses.”
• Connected dots to politicians, including suspicions around Hennepin County Commissioner Angela Conley (anti-ICE stance) and foreign coordinators offering shelter.
• Emphasized psych tactics: Infiltrating and breaking trust is key to dismantling these groups, as Cam did single-handedly.
The fallout? The Signal chats were nuked—completely deleted as activists regrouped.
Protests turned violent:
Rioters nearly lynched a federal prison guard mistaken for ICE, blocked roads, and caused chaos. Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan (suspected as “Flan”) deleted her Facebook account amid speculation she’s directly linked. If true, this ties straight to state government involvement in what looks like organized insurrection.
This wasn’t just leaks—it was a live operation disrupting a Minneapolis agitator network funded by shadowy orgs and possibly foreigners. Digital warriors like @camhigby, @0hour1, and @DataRepublican exposed it all for the world to see.
Follow them for updates; more drops incoming.
Stunning doesn’t cover it. This is how to fight back. #SignalGate #Minneapolis #AntiICEEXPOSED 🇺🇸
I want you to remember Charlie Kirk getting his neck blown out in front of college kids. The entire world watched it happen. And I want you to remember how the left reacted. How they celebrated. How they justified it. How hundreds of thousands of people liked a post where Amanda Seyfried said he deserved it.
Then remember how enraged they were when President Trump moved his head and survived an assassination attempt on live television… something that would have thrown this country into chaos, if not outright civil war.
Remember how they built shrines and merch for Luigi Magionie after he murdered an innocent man in cold blood.
And Ashli Babbitt? They didn’t just defend the shooting, they turned her killer into a hero and have mocked her death for five straight years. Their hypocrisy is so loud and rancid it makes their obnoxious red whistles seem quiet.
This isn’t “politics.” This is a communist insurgency, carried out by ppl who openly worship the ideology of Karl Marx and want to eliminate everyone to the right of him. They don’t care about life or “innocent victims.” They care about power, and they will justify any amount of bloodshed to get it.
Accept where we are. It is not going to be pretty. Do not be manipulated by their narcissistic, emotional-blackmail warfare. The only way is through.
Well, it seems like I have to spend my morning correcting these fucking liars...
Thomas, you duplicitous, grandstanding fraud...
First, the oil isn't "stolen."
It's lawfully seized Venezuelan crude from Maduro's criminal regime...tankers and cargoes violating U.S. sanctions that Congress itself authorized through multiple statutes (CAATSA, VERDAD Act, and repeated appropriations for OFAC enforcement).
The executive branch, under IEEPA powers Congress delegated, blocks, seizes, and forfeits sanctioned property.
This isn't theft; it's enforcement of law against a narco-terrorist state that starved its people and funded Hezbollah.
Calling it "stolen" makes you sound like a Maduro apologist or a useful idiot...pick one.
Since you are a fucking libertarian I'll go with both...
Second, the proceeds aren't being funneled into "Trump's personal piggy bank."
That's a venomous, baseless smear worthy of MSNBC, not a sitting Congressman.
The funds from these sales are parked in a protected Qatari account precisely to shield them from predatory creditors (ConocoPhillips, Crystallex, etc.) who hold billions in valid U.S. court judgments against Maduro's regime.
The goal: preserve the money for the Venezuelan people under a future legitimate government, not let it be siphoned off by vulture funds in U.S. courts.
This is textbook sanctions policy...neutral offshore escrow to prevent asset dissipation.
We've done variants for Iran, Russia, Afghanistan. It's strategic, not corrupt.
Third, your hysterical screech about "only Congress can appropriate money" is constitutional illiteracy wrapped in performative outrage.
These aren't U.S. taxpayer dollars drawn from the Treasury requiring annual appropriation.
They are forfeited foreign assets...proceeds of sanctioned property.
The executive has longstanding authority to manage, liquidate, and direct such funds under existing statutory frameworks without new line-item appropriation each time.
If every seized tanker sale needed a separate vote, sanctions would be toothless. Your purported "originalist" reading collapses the moment you touch reality.
You're not defending the Constitution, Thomas.
You're posturing for clicks while undermining a policy that starves a brutal regime of revenue and preserves resources for Venezuela's liberation.
This is the same spineless isolationist reflex that leaves tyrants untouched and Americans exposed.
You lecture about fiscal restraint yet clutch pearls when the executive uses delegated powers to crush a hemisphere-threatening socialist kleptocracy.
Wake up yourself, Congressman.
Your selective outrage isn't principle...it's cowardice dressed as conviction. America First demands strength against dictators, not impotent whining from the cheap seats.
The Republic endures despite quislings like you.
In other words, get your fucking head out of your fucking ass... Thomas.
Barack Obama’s ICE chief received an award for 920,000 removals.
Donald Trump’s ICE chief was called a Nazi.
It’s the same person: Tom Homan.
In 2012, Obama deported 409,000 people.
In 2025, Trump deported 290,000 people.
The difference is mainstream media brainwashing.
Sitting at the very top of the stadium, angry.
Not for the memorial, but that the stage we are at… rumors swirl, official narrative becomes largely unbelievable…
It is the realization that we do not trust any part of our government. It’s rotted to the core in nearly every part.
And as I sit here, contemplating the life of Charlie Kirk… I’m jaded by the simple fact that no one is telling the truth. No one is being held accountable. Fraudulent elections, rotted judiciary, rotted fbi, rotted DOJ, rotted congress… all while smiles of how much we are winning…
Not one person arrested. Tina Peters still in jail. Law-fare continues and judges still saying, “there is no evidence” while mountains of evidence is presented. Children still groomed, education still infiltrated by this evil indoctrination… a country in nearly absolute disrepair.
We closed a border. Yay. We taxed other countries. Yay. Crime is down. Yay.
RECAP: They killed millions with the COVID hoax, forcing ventilators on unsuspecting victims. They denied treatments like ivermectin, of course until Pfizer could create “Pfixermectin”. They filled our families with poison and fired, ridiculed and ostracized anyone that would not take it.
They stole our elections, one by one, state by state until they had enough density to persecute and steal the lives and fortunes of Americans. Then they stole our voice, cancelled, bullied and ridiculed those that stood up. They used a media apparatus to inflict the pain with lies and slander. They said, you have no proof… and yet we have plenty.
They raped, trafficked and groomed our women and children. When men stood up, they said it was toxic masculinity. They said “how dare you stand”
The lies are too numerous to count. The narrative too evil to ignore. Then they assassinated Charlie. Let that sink in.
Mr. President,
Enough is enough… arrest them all, ban machines. Ban mail in ballots. Start with the first promise you ever made…
“Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for years to come.
We will face challenges. We will confront hardships. But we will get the job done.”
We must give the people back their voice and that starts with not just a bold and virtuous vision, yet with bold action. There are problems and there are symptoms. This represents a unique opportunity to work the problem that gives people the ability to eliminate the rot, a symptom of a captured nation and captured states.
We love you Mr. President. We love Charlie. We love and serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
It’s time to give us back what was never theirs to take. Restore it.
@realDonaldTrump
For those liberals who say that Charlie Kirk was hateful to transgender people, explain yourselves. Most of you have literally never heard him, and are just parroting what main stream media talking heads have told you about him.
THIS is how Charlie debated and interacted with folks struggling with confusion and dysphoria concerning their biology.👇🏼
WTH? So disappointed in you. Basic human reaction should have been EVERYONE who witnessed what happened should have immediately ran to her aid or comfort her. Let's not even talk about the pathetic excuses for men (can they even be called men?) who witnessed it.
You need to get your head out of your ass.
TOTAL LIES - it was all theatre then, why do you think anything has changed?
It was all premeditated evil, to scare you in to submission.
They are planing to launch a new hoax soon..
