If we had any backbone as a people, paycheck withholding would not exist.

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

On this day in 1943, FDR signed a law that permanently changed your relationship with your own paycheck. You just never noticed, which was entirely the point.

Before the Current Tax Payment Act of 1943, Americans paid their income taxes in one lump sum. Every year, you calculated what you owed and wrote a single check to the government. You felt every dollar. You knew exactly how much the government was taking.

The 1942 wartime revenue act suddenly expanded the income tax to cover millions of working-class Americans who had never paid it before. The government desperately needed revenue. But they had a problem: how do you get people to pay a new, much larger tax without causing a revolt?

A Macy's executive named Beardsley Ruml came up with the answer. Withhold it before workers ever see it. Take it out of the paycheck automatically. Make the number on the check the only number that feels real.

It worked. The psychology was perfect. People don't grieve money they never held. The government went from collecting taxes from 7 million Americans to 60 million, almost overnight, with barely any public resistance.

They also quietly canceled 75% of what was owed from the prior year to smooth the transition. A one-time tax amnesty that almost no one remembers happened.

Economists and historians have noted for decades that withholding is a primary reason Americans never developed the visceral anti-tax anger common in countries where people write the check themselves.

You were supposed to notice. They made sure you wouldn't.

Just spent over an hour waiting for someone to pick up the phone for a VA referral.

I eventually hung up and will call back another day as it's not a rush / time sensitive thing at all.

Posting as a reminder that VA "healthcare" is government run and is horrifically inefficient. Government also pretends to care about veterans and this is how that system works.

Imagine if they scaled it to the entire country and it was for a group of people the government doesn't even pretend to care about....

Keep in mind literally ALL of the people who say Karmelo Anthony had the right I stab a kid to death for telling him to leave a tent also said that Rittenhouse did not have the right to use lethal force against an armed mob chasing him down the street to kill him

This video is from Belfast Live in 2025.

Right now there are between 30-40 thousand migrants living in hotels across the UK, indefinitely, paid for by the taxpayers. It costs billions every year.

It is a fact that many of the hotels are 4 star hotels. The migrants get housed. The owners of the hotels make a ton of money. Taxpayers lose.

Boo Trump all you want. This would be happening right now all across America if Kamala had won. We already saw it happen during the Biden years.

[Milton Friedman Quotes @MiltonFriedmanW]

Milton Friedman:

“Over and over again, you’ll find that the reaction is: ‘What we’ve done in the past has not worked, but that’s because we haven’t done it right. We ought to spend more money on it.’”

“I can understand that attitude in the 1930s when we had not sufficiently absorbed the experience of other countries. But it’s much harder to understand it in the 1970s when we now have 40 years of experience behind us.”

@mattvanswol Stop using leftist terminology for guns that are 3D printed or manufactured by individuals. Manufacture of guns by citizens has been legal long before the colonies united. These criminals are breaking plenty of laws without you normalizing leftists terminology.

🚨 ECONOMIC JIHAD IN FLORIDA....

Muslim-Only App GoMarhaba Is Openly Boycotting Non-Muslim Businesses to Build a Parallel Islamic Economy

Florida just became ground zero for a calculated economic power play.

The new platform GoMarhaba (https://t.co/HT4ZhP0Hk2 and app) isn’t some innocent “buy local” directory. It’s explicitly designed as a Muslim-only marketplace - a closed-loop system that redirects every dollar away from non-Muslim businesses and traps it inside the ummah.

Here’s how it works, straight from their own promo videos and site:

“Keep our money circulating within the community so we can build the strength that we need to effectively serve our faith.”

“A boycott, a section, then a redirect. Where do we go? To Go Marhaba.”

“Keep our money in-house and build autonomy in-house… This is the economic power that we need.”

The website spells it out: Muslim households buy from Muslim grocers → who hire Muslim accountants → who hire Muslim roofers, and so on. The goal? Make the Muslim dollar “circulate 10 times before it leaves our community” - rendering everyone else economically irrelevant.

Proof it’s exclusive:

When you try to list a business, the very first question is: “Is this business owned by a Muslim?” Pick “No” and you’re shut out. Non-Muslims are invisible. This isn’t community support, it’s engineered segregation.

Founder Hiba Rahim is Deputy Executive Director of CAIR-Florida. Yes, the same CAIR with deep ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terror-financing trial in U.S. history. The same CAIR that Florida is trying to designate as a foreign terrorist organization.

Promoters include former CAIR-FL's dangerous Hassan Shibly and terror-tied Imam Tom Facchine - both openly pushing the app.

This is the internal front of the strategy, the Muslim Brotherhood’s own 1991 memo described: build a “small Islamic society” inside the host nation - a self-sufficient “beehive” that doesn’t depend on the kuffar.

While CAIR demands “inclusion,” “diversity,” and taxpayer-funded programs, their operatives are quietly constructing a parallel economy that boycotts the rest of America.

This is economic jihad - severing ties with outsiders to amass power from within.

Florida is the test run. It’s spreading nationwide.

Wake up before the circle closes, and they'll boycott you out of existence.

Demand answers:

Why are CAIR-linked figures allowed to openly build boycott tools against American businesses?

Where’s the media? Where’s the outrage from “tolerance” enforcers?

Share this. Contact your officials. Support businesses that don’t exclude you.

Go local. Go American. Reject the fortress.

The Senate functioned perfectly fine for 146 years without a Parliamentarian.

The office wasn’t created by the Constitution. It wasn’t created by federal statute. Democrats created it in 1935 because they needed help sifting through thousands of archaic Senate rules and precedents that they could use to massively expand the federal government with New Deal legislation.

There is zero mention of a Senate Parliamentarian anywhere in the Constitution.

There is no law requiring the office to exist.

The Parliamentarian has no independent authority. It is not a statutory office. The role is purely advisory. The Senate can ignore the advice, or abolish the office entirely in a second.

There is nothing sacred about the position. It was a political tool created by Democrats to further FDR’s agenda.

Cucked Republicans have unnecessarily kept the illegitimate office alive to help Democrats.

[Mike Winger @MikeWingerii]

Mormons are often very personally offended when Christians say that Mormonism isn’t Christian. This is dumb.

Joseph Smith’s first “encounter” with God involves God telling Smith that every creed Christians profess is an abomination to God.

Every creed.

That includes the Nicene Creed. They reject who God is, who Jesus is, the nature of salvation, the nature of exaltation, the clear teaching of Scripture, etc..

Mormonism rejects the very core of the Christian faith in all its essentials. Joseph Smith knew this but nowadays they are playing mind games with their own people and with real Christians.

Either THEY are Christians or WE are. It’s one or the other. Not both.

When asked “Will all be damned but Mormons?” Smith replied, “Yes, and a great portion of them unless they repent and work righteousness” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pg. 119)

The Doctrine and Covenants (1:30) leaves no doubt to the Mormon teaching of exclusivity when it says the LDS Church is “the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth, with which I, the Lord, am well pleased ….”

Brigham Young, second only to Joseph Smith in Mormonism said…

“Should you ask why we differ from other Christians, as they are called, it is simply because they are not Christians as the New Testament defines Christianity” (Journal of Discourses 10:230).

“The Christian world, so-called, are heathens as to the knowledge of the salvation of God” (Journal of Discourses 8:171).

I could easily give you pages of them saying they are the only true Christians and how we are all ignorant beasts and our doctrines are wrong. They knew at the time they had a different God, gospel, Scripture, and system of belief. But now it has become expedient to pretend otherwise while still preaching all those false and unchristian things.

Mormons, your leaders are gaslighting you and you are gaslighting us. You aren’t Christian but we want you to be. Flee from Mormonism. Flee from Joseph Smith.

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

I want to tell you a story about a “journalist.”

I’m pretty sure the journalist in question was Scott Pelley, but for reasons I am about to explain I can’t be 100% sure—I just know it was a major US TV reporter.

August, 2003.

I was the G-4 of the 82nd Airborne Division. The IED threat had just become a real thing in Iraq and the 82nd—having just returned from Iraq—was sent back to the fight.

The “Division Support Area” was earmarked for a place called al Taqaddum, or “TQ.” I led the advance party to occupy the site (we drove from Kuwait). TQ was a huge area on a high bluff, west of Fallujah, and had a cratered Iraqi Air Force airfield. Later in the war it was a plush site with a PX and restaurants, but when I occupied it, it was nothing but a bunch of abandoned buildings, hulks of old Iraqi fighting vehicles blocking the runway, nightly rocket and mortar attacks, and constant probing of the huge perimeter by insurgents.

The IED threat was happening because insurgents were pulling artillery rounds out of abandoned Iraqi army ammunition supply points and turning them into roadside bombs.

We had been on TQ about one full day when the front gate called me on the radio: “All American 4, we have some TV reporters here, they want to come in, what should I do, over?”

After telling the gate to check IDs and do a sweep of their vehicle, I said: “Send them to me, over.”

A few minutes later an armored Mercedes pulls up to our TOC. The “talent” is in the very back where I could barely see him, but I’m pretty sure it was Scott Pelley. (Pelley was definitely in Iraq at the time, I checked.)

His producer gets out from the air-conditioned Mercedes plushness and pulls out a map. He arrogantly points to an Iraqi ammo supply point between TQ and Ramadi and demands: “I need you to escort us to this location.”

(They wanted to do a story with reporter speaking against a backdrop of an ammo supply point, because that’s where the IEDs were coming from.)

“NEED? I’m sorry sir, that site is not secured and I am not putting my paratroopers at risk for your story.”

Big disappointment and head shaking. I’m thinking: “The NERVE of this guy. Does he think I work for him?”

He then asks: “Well what will happen if we go by ourselves?”

My response: “You’ll probably die.”

(Important background: TQ also had a giant Iraqi ammo supply point that was inside the wire but we had not cleared it yet—it could have been booby-trapped, we just did not know at the time.)

He points at the map again: “Well how about the ammunition right here? We can just drive over there, right?”

“No sir, you cannot. We have not cleared that site.”

By this time he was visibly angry, he had a chat with the talent in the back, and then they all got back in and left without even saying thank you or good bye.

(Important point: the ammo on TQ he wanted to use as a backdrop for his “story" was SECURED from Iraqis grabbing any of it, yet they wanted to use that as a backdrop for a story on Iraqis grabbing ammo.)

The point of this story is this: those “journalists” were incredibly arrogant, incredibly dismissive of anyone in uniform with dirty boots, and basically oozed a sense of entitlement as if they were on some sort of noble mission, when in reality their mission was to smear the effectiveness of our operations because Bushitler.

When you hear Scott Pelley talk, oozing with arrogance over his “combat” experience, remember that he is of a breed that all think and act alike. To those "journalists," we were not American fighting men and women in combat. No, we were there for their convenience. It sickened me, and still does.

You think you hate journalists enough...

[Bad Hombre @Badhombre]

You thought you hated liberal boomers? You don’t hate them nearly enough.

A 69-year-old retired bureaucrat from Alexandria, Virginia, Susan F. Douglas, is suing to stop the planned UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House as part of America’s 250th birthday celebration.

Her argument? The event would cause her “aesthetic injury,” meaning she doesn’t like looking at it. She also claims watching it would worsen the physical pain from her osteoarthritis.

A patriotic celebration featuring Americans enjoying themselves would allegedly cause Susan both emotional distress and physical pain. Think about that.

After spending more than 50 years working in DC, Susan shares that she now devotes her retirement to protesting the White House ballroom and construction of the triumphant arch, opposing renovations like those of reflection pool, and serving as a “safety marshal” at No Kings protests.

Susan is also a prolific donor to the James Talarico for Senate campaign, according to FEC records. Make of that what you will.

Liberal boomers spent decades running the country into the ground, shipping jobs overseas, and opening the floodgates to third worlders. Now that they’re retired, they dedicate themselves to draining the joy out of life for all other Americans.

🚨#BREAKING: A MASSIVE IDENTITY THEFT RING that let nearly 50 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS work using the STOLEN identities of real Americans has just been taken down...

...and the EMPLOYERS WHO DID IT, HAVE BEEN ARRESTED!!!!

The American employers, a plant manager and an HR director were both INDICTED for KNOWINGLY HIRING ILLEGAL ALIENS!!!!

Four more people were indicted for running the operation that made fake Social Security cards, fake driver's licenses, and fake immigration documents...

...using the STOLEN identities of real American citizens.

The state of South Carolina wanted to act for YEARS, but the Biden administration refused to help them.

MORE OF THIS!!!!!!

START ARRESTING THE EMPLOYERS!!!!!!!

[Sassafrass84 @Sassafrass_84]

I voted for this. Way to go, DeSantis.

Starting July 1, Florida will begin rolling out a major change to driver's licenses and state ID cards: your citizenship status will now be printed directly on the card.

The change is part of HB 991, Florida's version of the SAVE America Act, which Governor DeSantis signed in April. Beginning next month, new licenses and renewals will indicate whether the holder is a U.S. citizen or holds another legal immigration status. Current license holders will not need to make a special trip to the DMV, as the change will be applied automatically at their next renewal or replacement. Anyone who becomes a U.S. citizen can get a free updated card reflecting their new status.

The broader law also eliminates student IDs, retirement community IDs, debit cards, and public assistance IDs as acceptable forms of voter identification. Candidates running for federal office must now disclose whether they intend to trade stocks while in office, and all candidates must affirm U.S. citizenship and disclose any dual citizenship. The full suite of voter registration and election code changes takes effect January 1, 2027, though the driver's license provision kicks in next month.

Critics say the law will disproportionately burden naturalized citizens and legally present immigrants, while supporters call it a common-sense modernization of identification standards. <<<--- this won't burden me.
