I agree. I am so sick of the democratic party.

But there has to be competition or will totally become bloated from within. If it's just one party.

@EricLDaugh Democrats have no clear leaders now. A very sad fact for the country. Its decline is bad for the country long term. Trump is undoing the damage, but without proper opposition we could lose balance.

Wealth tax explained:

1. Laura loves to cook, she risks all her life savings and opens a small restaurant: Laura‘s Kitchen

2. Laura works really hard, evenings, weekends, no vacations

3. The local community loves Laura‘s Kitchen, it’s a success, the restaurant gets larger, Laura hires 30 people from the neighborhood

4. Laura makes 1,5 Million € in profit, she pays 40% in income tax: 600,000€

5. The left „tax the rich“ party wins the elections, and introduces a wealth tax

6. Laura‘s Kitchen gets valued by the tax authorities at 25 Million €. Laura must pay 5% wealth tax: 1,25 Million €

7. The income tax of 600,000€ plus 1,25 Million € in wealth tax is more than the 1,5 Million € Laura makes

8. Laura cannot afford to pay more taxes than she makes, she closes Laura’s Kitchen

9. Laura loses her life savings despite years of hard work, 30 people lose their jobs, the state receives zero taxes

10. The local community goes to McDonalds again

11. The local left “tax the rich“ party members blame „capitalism“ for that on social media

12. Everyone gets poorer due to higher unemployment and lower tax revenues

Why is this so difficult for the left to understand?

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

There are at least two reason they might not want to update us on McConnell’s condition:

-In Kentucky, a special election to replace a Senator will NOT be called if it’s closer than 3 months till the next election.

-That date is August 3rd.

1) If McConnell’s condition is clearly unfit for office, they’d hide that to avoid being forced to submit a resignation letter until after that date.

2) If McConnell has not regained consciousness or has the chance of oxygen induced brain death and is on artificial life support, they would try and

-In Kentucky “brain death” is legally considered death under Kentucky Revised Statute § 446.400

-Any two independent physicians may declare the patient dead for the purposes of the seat being vacated IF the patient is only “alive” due to a ventilator and artificial life support systems.

But, his next of kin (Chao) would need to be involved in the process of treatment and testing and final decisions to end support for that path to be viable…

She left to China 3 days after his hospitalization.

So is McConnell alive and well? Is he awake and functional? Is he a vegetable?

Either way I think they are trying to make sure we don’t have the answer to that until August 3rd.

The Iran war effectively destroyed every nation outside of the Americas as a rival to the U.S.

Iran is broken as a contender for power; they can't even sell their oil. Tankers are ignoring the IRGC and transiting via Omani territorial waters, protected by the U.S. Navy. Iran is too cowardly to commit acts of war off the Omani coast. Oman has also made it clear that they will never support Iran's delusional plan to toll the Strait.

Iran can't get a single tanker to dock at its ports. Their economy is in a tailspin. Iranian inflation is approaching pre-Milei Argentine numbers. A famine is a very real possibility; Iran imports half of its food and no one is willing to sell to a pirate state that keeps shooting at commercial traffic.

Iran has failed to uphold its end of the MOU and thus hasn't received a single dollar in unfrozen funds or Gulf development aid. The MOU was a test to see if they could behave rationally when their military leverage is gone and their economic leverage is fast eroding. They failed.

Demand destruction has been concentrated almost entirely in Europe and Asia. China and India are crippled. The Chinese will be faced with the choice of switching off their data centers, stalling "development" of the AI they stole from xAI and Anthropic, or forcing starving Chinese citizens to eat babies.

Europe, already deindustrializing thanks to the Ukraine war, has been dealt a death blow. They won't recover for decades, possibly generations. Denmark might end up selling Greenland to us to stave off a depression.

The war has forced countries reliant on Strait oil flows to accelerate their plan Bs in the same way that the 70s oil embargo forced the U.S. to begin oil extraction in Alaska. The UAE will complete the new Gulf of Oman pipeline, rendering the Strait obsolete, much like how the discovery of the Americas allowed Europe to circumvent the Middle East when trading with China, turning the region into an irrelevant backwater.

The country that benefited the most from the war was America. Iran has been severed from the global economy and even from BRICS. Buyers now have to go to America or her allies. Refineries in Texas and Louisiana are booming thanks to Venezuela realigning with the U.S. and sending its crude to our shores. China will have to do what we say if they want energy.

Energy prices in the U.S. are now so substantially lower than in Europe and Asia that offshoring and outsourcing are no longer financially prudent. Turns out that the way for manufacturing to compete with cheap labor countries like India is to make the cheap labor expensive. Jobs and investment are coming back to America, the only sure bet. With demand destruction creating an oil glut, Americans will be enjoying $2.50/gallon gas or lower by next year while the rest of the world starves.

The Iran war has even crippled Russia. A combination of demand destruction and Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries has sparked off an energy crisis there. We might actually see the Mongols driven out of Donbass and total Ukrainian victory.

In one stroke, Trump cemented American dominance over the world. Iran, China, India, Europe, Russia, Africa...all crushed. He pressed the "fix everything" button and all it took was paying 50 cents more at the pump for a couple of months. I'd say that was more than worth it.

The American Empire rises.

[Flopping Aces @FloppingAces]

They called Mike Lindell crazy.

Not mistaken. Not controversial. Not aggressive. Crazy.

The pillow guy. The conspiracy guy. The election-denier cartoon villain corporate media could wheel out whenever they needed a cheap laugh and a dopamine hit for their smug little audience.

Then the lawfare machine showed up.

Dominion. Smartmatic. Billion-dollar lawsuits. FBI pressure. seized devices. years of legal bleeding. The whole point was obvious: make Lindell radioactive enough that nobody else would dare question electronic voting systems again.

Except now the boomerang is coming back with teeth.

Dominion’s lawsuit against Lindell is gone after Dominion’s assets were sold to Liberty Vote.

Smartmatic is sitting under a criminal indictment over bribery-related allegations unrelated to 2020.

And Lindell?

Still standing.

Still talking.

Still saying the machines have to go.

That is the part they hate.

Because this was never just about one pillow salesman. It was about enforcing a narrative. You were supposed to believe electronic voting machines were sacred, paper ballots were for kooks, and anyone asking uncomfortable questions deserved financial ruin.

Now Democrats are boxed in. Do they trust Liberty Vote? Do they embrace indicted Smartmatic? Do they use vendors preferred by red counties? Or do they quietly crawl back toward paper ballots and pretend they invented the idea?

They called him crazy because it was easier than answering him.

Now the “crazy” guy is still on his feet, and the voting-machine empire looks like it needs a pillow.

America is now paying foreign aid to 177 countries. And Congress just shipped another $50 billion.

It's an odd way to run an empire when Washington's cutting checks to basically the entire planet while Americans buy groceries with credit cards.

[John Ʌ Konrad V @johnkonrad]

The first problem is that some builders actually want to build great things, not defraud the public.
I’m convinced this is why Trump ran for president. He knew the scam. He hated the scam because it created red tape.

And if you’re running the scam, you have to discredit, sue, and even arrest the builders who want to build, especially the ones who hate the regulations that make the fraud possible. That’s why Trump became the focus of the hate, and why developers like Witkoff, Kushner, and Wynn became Trump supporters.

A bigger problem is labor.

It’s not just taxpayers who lose. Low labor spending means workers lose their jobs. Won’t they complain?
Nope. This is why Democrats pour so much money into unions. The union bosses get fat checks and lots of perks, and perks are easy to hide as expenses.

But they can’t completely screw over the rank and file, so they hire PR firms and consultants too, to rationalize the decline to their own base. And the base isn’t too worried, because most have second jobs and collect standby fees to do nothing.

The few guys who do show up are paid a lot extra per hour based on esoteric union rules.

Of course there’s little room for new members but the media has pushed the “you must go to college” narrative so hard most don’t want their kids joining the union anyway.

Next is suppliers who complain about having to close factories because material doesn’t get shipped.

Let the unions take care of the labor in the same way and outsource all but token manufacturing to a subcontractor in China. Building nothing is profitable for manufacturing executives too.

Some need extra incentive and that’s the job of McKinsey to help them figure out how to supercharge executive pay while doing nothing.

The next problem is legality.

This isn’t much of a problem if you write the laws to protect yourself and control the funding of investigations.

You really think “defund the police” was about racism? You really think the entire FBI pivoting to January 6th was about Trump? No. Those were distractions from the biggest fraud of all time: the infrastructure act and the “Inflation Reduction Act.”

But even with all that, one massive problem remains. Taxes.

Al Capone didn’t go to Alcatraz for murder or racketeering. He went for tax evasion.

Again: the fraud hides in the flow of money. In transactions. Most of your taxes aren’t on fixed assets. You pay them when you transfer something: property, stocks, cash, your labor. The system is built that way in part to discourage transactions. So you need entities that don’t pay taxes to wash the money. Enter the non-profit NGO.

Money can flow within an NGO, as we saw with the SPLC scandal, tax free. Better still, they can organize events, marches, and friendly MSM coverage to “support” Democratic politicians.

Construction managers get the usual tax deductions and dodge capital gains. But they can also donate appreciated stock to a foundation or donor-advised fund, take a large deduction, skip the capital gains bill, and direct how the money gets spent for years. The money can’t legally buy personal vacations or yachts, but family members can sit on the boards, hire the staff, fund the favored causes, sponsor the research, and shape the public debate. The tax savings are real. So is the influence.

And why own a yacht anyway when the NGO has lists of corrupt people who own yachts you can use?

And remember how NYPD detectives weren’t allowed to investigate arson, because that was FDNY’s job? The FBI and other agencies are discouraged by lawmakers, executives, and their own unions from investigating non-profits, because “they’re a public good.”

And if someone really presses for an investigation, friendly detectives can be hand-picked for a “special task force” that does nothing at all.

It’s the same bones as the “Jewish Lightning” scam. Except now it isn’t tenements in the Bronx that are burning. It’s the entire nation.

[John Ʌ Konrad V @johnkonrad]

When I was a kid, the Bronx was burning. My dad was a fireman who happened to be an Ivy League graduate.

He told me it wasn’t the crackheads torching the city, whatever the news said. It was fraud.

Let me explain how it worked…. John Doe buys a rundown apartment building for $100k. He pockets the redevelopment tax break, then sells it to Joe Doe for $250k. Joe pockets the tax break, then sells it to Jerry Doe for $500k. Rinse and repeat until the building is worth $5 million.

The tax breaks are real. The money is not.

Because the buyers are all family, the cash flows out of Swiss bank account 27852 and right back into 27852 after every sale. There’s a transaction cost, sure, but the tax breaks more than cover it.

Then comes the payoff: they insure the building for $5 million and burn it down.

The name for this was “Jewish Lightning.” The phrase stuck around not because the landlords were all Jewish, but because the stereotype hit a nerve in a city run by Jewish mayors from 1974 to 1989, the peak of the burning. Fair or not, the term stuck.

So why was none of this investigated? NGO funding, of course.

The NYPD union was powerful, and NYC detectives had sweeping investigative authority over almost everything. Except arson. Arson belonged to FDNY detectives. NGOs, routing money through union donations, stoked the rivalry between cops and firemen.

Long story short, arson investigators got no funding and zero cooperation from the NYPD.

No money for investigations means no arrests.

Eventually the Bronx ran out of buildings to burn, and Giuliani drove the final nail into arson fraud’s coffin.

But the lesson survived, and it’s the foundation of today’s fraud. The lesson was this: the actual value of the asset doesn’t matter.

👉What matters is the movement of money.

Destruction is still very profitable. When the Baltimore bridge collapsed, the cleanup and rebuild were estimated at $1.7 billion, with the bridge reopening in 2028. The cost has since ballooned to $5.2 billion, and the wreckage still isn’t fully cleared.

Money pours into demolition,, engineering, environmental review, project management, waste removal.

But if the work doesn’t actually get done, the real expenses stay low. The money moves; the bridge doesn’t.

And here’s the leap: you don’t have to destroy anything at all. You just have to not build it.

Democrats allocate money to a government body, which hands it to a project manager, who hires consultants, who hire subcontractors, who hire more subcontractors, who funnel it back to Democrats, who allocate more money.

The fewer the actual costs (labor, materials, equipment) the more of the flow you can capture.

And if a taxpayer complains, you hire a PR firm and a few consultants to explain why costs keep exploding while nothing gets built. The easiest thing to blame is red tape.

So why does red tape exist?

Because destroying valuable property, while profitable, is too obviously unethical.

Burning buildings gets you arrested, eventually. Not building gets you a ribbon-cutting and a press release.

Here’s the deeper trap. Because our most valuable assets are fixed (houses, cars, index funds) we think of money as static. You have what you have. It grows over time, but it doesn’t flow.

That’s exactly where the fraud lives: in the flow.

The light bulb moment was realizing you don’t need to destroy physical property. You only need to destroy productivity.

If labor and materials are never purchased while money pours in, the fraud works.

You don’t have to build or destroy anything of value, just productivity. You just announce a project and start writing checks while throwing up enough red tape to block any real spending on labor and materials.

This is basically why Congress handed @PeteButtigieg $1.2 trillion and our roads and bridges still suck five years later. They put up signs, traffic cones, and red tape, and little else.

But there are a few residual problems. 1/2
