@jesseyjay94 I went over to check it out - Brilliant.

@theblaze https://t.co/lPVRqzNhav is a brilliant use of emerging technology. Cutting through the fog of generational bureaucratic red tape and obfuscation.
Love it.

@jenvanlaar It’s surprising how many people believe that an overpowering aromatic hydrocarbon replaces basic hygiene….

1,000+ military-age men broke into Britain last week…

Only one person got arrested…the man who tried to stop it…

Today, the Prime Minister went on TV and called him a racist…

Only a Democrat would cause 20 oil refineries to shut down and then blame Trump for high gas prices.

A neighbor two streets over knocked on our back door at 10:14am
Same pool flyer as us
I priced it at $142,300 and bought a $34 slip and slide
He put down a non-refundable deposit
His pool is a hole
He wanted to be ready
He drove to the Leslie's by the highway for chlorine
Closed
Paper sign still on the door

He read the news in the parking lot
The Wall Street Journal says the whole chain is preparing to file for Chapter 11 as soon as this week

He sat down at our kitchen table
My son was eating waffles across from him
He said how does a 63-year-old pool store go broke the month I get a pool
I said here is what actually happened

I said your store was one of 80 they closed last winter, and the loan did not get any smaller
He said what loan
I said about $757 million, signed in 2016. Last year the interest was $62.9 million
He said okay
I said the company's own best number for what it earned was $61.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA
He said that's less

I said on Friday all of its stock put together was worth about $2.74 million. About 19 of your pools
He said the whole company
I said all the stock
He said and the loan
I said still there
He looked out the window at our slip and slide

I said a private equity firm and a sovereign wealth fund bought it in 2017. They took it public in 2020 at $17 a share and started selling
I said in 2021 the CEO announced a plan to return money to shareholders
He said that's nice
I said the first return went to two shareholders
He said which two
I said the same two firms. The company paid them $151.9 million of its own cash, 13 days after the board approved the plan. On Friday those shares would have been worth about $110,000
He said huh
I said all in, the two firms took out more than $2 billion selling their stock

My wife set a coffee in front of him

I said in August the board's pay committee approved $1.35 million in retention awards to keep three executives from leaving
I said the next day the company told investors there was substantial doubt it could keep going. Those awards are about half of what all the stock was worth Friday
He turned his phone face down
My wife said he came over for chlorine

My son put his fork down
He is 6
He said when they closed the 80 stores, where did those stores' part of the loan go
I said nowhere. It's the same loan with 943 stores left. About $800,000 each
He said how many summers do the other ones have

Nobody answered him
The neighbor finished his coffee
He asked what the slip and slide needs
I said a hose

Want to pay less taxes and not move Vote Republican in November

[Homeland Security @DHSgov]

Do not look away.

Before President Trump took office, our nation’s sovereignty was threatened by unrestrained Third World mass migration.

Now, after sixteen months of zero releases at the border, the world knows: America will never be a dumping ground for their criminals.

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

This chart is the only reason you need to vote Republican in the midterms. The second Democrats regain control, they will open the border and continue the replacement of the U.S. population with foreigners who hate our way of life.

If they retake power, we will lose our country.

What really happened after the State Dinner.

Bottles thrown everywhere, swearing constantly.

Not 1 of these parasites even got charged.

Englishman, Del Somerville, got 2 years this week.

Don't tell me two-tier policing and judiciary doesn't exist.

RUBIO JUST SAID THE NUMBER THEY NEVER WANTED ON TV

Americans work 40 years.
They retire.
Social Security: $800. $900. A thousand a month.

Somebody who got here from Cuba three months ago: $1,500 a month.

Marco Rubio said it out loud.

“So imagine if you’ve been working here for 40 years and your Social Security check is smaller than the benefits going to a 28-year-old, able-bodied person who just got here. That’s real. That happens. That’s happening every day. That makes no sense.”

You paid in.
They landed.
They beat your check.

That’s not compassion.
That’s a slap in the face with your own tax dollars.

[Bitcoin for Freedom @BTC_for_Freedom]

- You: "My stocks went up 10%."

- Government: "Congratulations! That's taxable."

- You: "But inflation was 8%. I only really gained 2%."

- Government: "We tax the full 10%."

- You: "You tax the inflation you created?"

- Government: "Capital gains are capital gains."

- You: "So you profit from debasing my money twice?"

- Government: "You're not an economist."

[Oilfield Rando @Oilfield_Rando]

The online classes Big Oil made me take to keep my job clearly said:

- all White people are racist, whether they realize it or not

So….if that’s true, why fight it? I decided to just accept being racist, rather than engage in an endless struggle that wouldn’t cure my racism.

[Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree]

Regulatory costs by Presidency:

Bush 172 billion

Obama 890 billion

Trump 40 billion

Biden 1.8 trillion

Biden’s $1.8 trillion in projected regulatory costs equals approximately $5,300 per American, based on a population of roughly 340 million.

Trump 2.0 has reduced regulatory costs by approximately $1.29 trillion or 3,750 dollars per American.

Funny how no one talks about that.

[Prussian Blues Traveler @NWordBiden]

I don’t know man. Since my options are unwavering support for Trump or the “murder every white person and take their stuff” party I’m probably gonna just vote for Trump even if gas is kind of expensive

[Theo Wold @RealTheoWold]

Micron is receiving $4 million in tax breaks for every job it is creating in Idaho.

And most of those jobs are going to immigrant newcomers and H-1Bs.

What exactly is Idaho getting out of this?
