Novak, Aaron, and Kyrie risked everything by refusing the advice of ‘Dr. Fauci’ and were ridiculed for doing so. They proved that the best role models for children are those brave enough to stand alone when the world demanded obedience…

@GavinNewsom You are just scared because mail-in voting is what allows you to cheat elections

Black pilot, West Point graduate, and combat veteran Wesley Hunt delivered a masterclass response:

“Hey Jasmine… Black pilot here.

I graduated from West Point. I went through Army flight school. I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache. I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad.

Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color. Nobody lowered the standards for me.

Suggesting that Black pilots, engineers, doctors, or leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting.

I didn’t want a different standard. I wanted the same standard.”

He ended with a powerful line:

“Merit isn’t racist. Excellence isn’t discriminatory. And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.”

This is the kind of clarity and backbone America needs right now.

Blaming your dad because he made responsible choices is weak. Yes, the economy is harder now, but there are still first-time homebuyer programs, 401(k) matches, Roth IRAs, side income, and budgeting tools. At some point, it stops being ‘the ladder was pulled up’ and starts being ‘I don’t want to climb. 🤷

Your kids need you.
Your wife needs you.
Your business needs you.

And somehow you still show up.

No excuses. No spotlight. No complaints.

Respect to the men who are grateful & carry the load without complaining.

American worker has a message for the Democrat Party

“To get my kid from pre-K into kindergarten, I need a vaccine slip, birth certificate, and proof of residency so I can get 'em into school. But y'all are saying a f*cking ID is too much to vote. F*ck off”

A mother earning $60K says she can’t afford her daughter’s medical care—but would qualify for assistance if she earned less.

She says the system punishes those trying to stay afloat.

Couple comes in for their annual review.

$2.8 million. Well invested. Solid Pension. Completely on track.

I ask the question I ask everyone.

"How is your daughter doing?"

Mom's face changed first.

Their daughter is 39. Hasn't asked for anything. Never complained.

But she's been in the same apartment for six years.

Daycare alone is $1,800 a month. Down payment feels impossible.

Dad said "we always figured she'd get it eventually."

I pulled up a simple chart.

Statistically they live to 88. She inherits at 56. Maybe 60.

At 60 her own retirement is eight years away.

The money that could change everything at 39 arrives when her finish line is already close.

Neither of them had ever seen it framed that way.

The annual gift exclusion is $19,000 per parent per child.

They can move $38,000 a year to her. No gift tax. No estate implications.

Over ten years that's $380,000 transferred while they're healthy enough to watch it matter.

Dad looked at his wife.

"Why are we waiting?"

Most families leave everything at death because nobody showed them the math of giving it while they're alive.

[N.M.A @peculiarchichii]

Your husband clocks overtime he hates.

Eats cold dinner because the kids come first

Fixes the car in the rain.
Zero complaints.

Asks for closeness at bedtime → "I'm tired." I'm not in the mood

After years of that, it makes sense if he looks elsewhere

[Western Lensman @WesternLensman]

This Don Lemon clip from October is an all-timer.

Don attempts to lecture two people on the street in Chicago that crossing the border illegally isn’t a crime.

And gets absolutely destroyed.

After being thoroughly humiliated, confounded and confused, he declares: “You guys are getting things mixed up!"

Brutal. 🤣
