🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 Marjorie Taylor Greene was threatened until she quit. Thomas Massie was taken out with the most expensive House primary in history.
Now we know why.
Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski says Section 224 will get pulled before December, but without Massie in Congress, it gets slipped back in quietly, and nobody stops it.
The strategy: public aid to Israel is becoming toxic, so bury the money inside a joint U.S.-IDF innovation center.
"This is why they hijacked Turning Point; this is why they freaked out when Charlie Kirk said I'm not taking your money."

INSTEAD OF WATCHING AN HOUR OF NETFLIX TONIGHT.
This 1 hour Stanford lecture by Joel Peterson will teach you more about negotiation and getting what you want than most people learn in years.
Bookmark it and give it an hour, no matter what.
The current stage of the #Crypto markets are comparable to the Q4 2018, Q4 2022 periods.
Just after a #Bitcoin fork destroyed the momentum.
Just after FTX, Luna and Celsius collapsed.
Historically, that's the time to accumulate your positions as these periods have proven to be the right time to be accumulating those positions.
It didn't change. This time it's the same story.

A girl who openly calls herself kind of stupid made $20,000 last month, and her face never appeared on screen once. She wasn't selling talent. She was running a loop with Claude that anyone reading this could start tonight.
Here is the entire method. There is nothing else to it.
She opened YouTube and searched baby shows. She found one with millions of views. A dancing fruit sensory video, a counting whales cartoon, the kind of thing that plays on a loop in the background of every toddler's life. She opened it, went to the transcript, and copied the whole thing.
She pasted that transcript into Claude and asked it to turn the format into a prompt for a similar video. Claude wrote the prompt. She pasted the prompt into an AI video generator. A few minutes later she had a finished cartoon. Bright colors, dancing animals, big letters, cheerful music. Indistinguishable from the one she copied.
She posted it.
Then she did the exact same thing the next day. And the day after. And every single day for 30 days.
She never wrote a script, animated a frame or recorded a single sound. She found something that already worked, fed it to Claude, let an AI rebuild it, and uploaded the result before she went to bed.
Nobody knew who she was. No name, no face, no personality, no story. Just a channel quietly posting toddler cartoons every day. And YouTube paid her anyway, because YouTube does not pay you for being interesting. It pays you for watch time, and toddlers watch the same video until the battery dies.
By the end of the month the payments were real. $20,000 to a girl who will tell you to your face that she is not smart.
That is the part nobody wants to sit with. The barrier was never intelligence. It was never talent. The only thing standing between her and the money was whether she would run a boring 5 minute loop every day for 30 days without quitting.
She did. Most people won't.
The system didn't filter for smart. It filtered for showing up.

Here are 6 underrated tools that EXTEND LIFESPAN in research:
#1 Glycine
Glycine increases lifespan by up to ~28% across different organisms.
Glycine counteracts the pro-aging effects of excess methionine, a major component of muscle meat.
It's able to do this through the GNMT enzyme - which absorbs extra methyl groups from methionine.
Those extra methyl groups otherwise alter global gene expression, disrupting several health promoting processes.
Glycine is in connective tissues from animal foods (bone broth, fish skins, chicken bones, etc.)
It's also dosed at 3-6g as a supplement (a bit higher than this to reflect the lifespan extending effects in animals).
#2 Selenium
Incredibly - selenium COMPLETELY prevented death over the two year study period in a recent paper.
100% of animals given selenium survived to two years.
Less than 50% of the control animals survived.
Insane!
They showed:
◇ Better insulin sensitivity
◇ Less cell senescence (aging)
◇ Lower inflammation
◇ Better body composition
◇ Less hair greying
due to selenium's critical role in selenoproteins.
Mainly in mushrooms and animal foods.
#3 Coenzyme Q10
One study for instance showed that ~25 mg human equivalent)of CoQ10 increased:
◇ Average lifespan by 17%
◇ Median lifespan by nearly 26%
in animals fed sunflower oil, but there was NO benefit in animals fed fish oil or virgin olive oil.
A recent review concluded:
"Thus, it seems that CoQ10 is useful to counteract the consequences of unhealthy diets that 'accelerate' the aging process, but it has no additional effects under more favorable conditions."
But, in real life, almost nobody has "favorable conditions" - we all encounter way more toxins, stressors and poor diet than an animal in a research study ever will.
CoQ10 is found in small amounts in beef heart and liver, and of course as a supplement.
#4 Astaxanthin
A recent study showed it extends lifespan by ~12%.
Male animals saw this benefit with inclusion of it in the diet.
Astaxanthin is a potent antioxidant found in red seafood, and also regulates key genes:
✧ SIRT1 - anti-inflammatory, increases metabolic gene expression
✧ FOXO3 - controls autophagy, ups DNA repair + antioxidant enzymes
✧ Klotho - regulates calcium balance, fibrosis
✧ NRF2 - master antioxidant gene regulator
#5 Urolithin A
One study showed it was able to extend lifespan by ~14-19%.
Urolithin A is a bacterial metabolite of certain polyphenols found in pomegranate and strawberries.
Roughly 30 mg human equivalent in animals was shown to increase:
◇ Max lifespan by ~14%
◇ Median lifespan at 80th %ile mortality by ~19%
Urolithin A promotes the process of mitophagy - which clears old / damaged mitochondria and thus improves whole body metabolic health
#6 Nicotinamide Mononucleotide
This study showed that females consuming NMN had longer lifespans by around 9% (bottom left).
In both genders, NMN lowered the frailty score, which is a key indicator of aging, measuring things like:
◇ Skin condition
◇ Hair loss
◇ Tumors
◇ Digestive issues
and more.
NMN is a precursor to NAD+, a central molecule in metabolism and gene regulation, that declines with aging.
There's a federal tax law that lets you rent your own house to your own business for $5,000 a day
The business deducts the rent as an expense
You receive the rent personally as tax-free income
This is fully legal under IRC Section 280A(g) and every smart business owner in america uses it
It's called the Augusta Rule and 90% of business owners have never heard of it
Internal Revenue Code Section 280A(g), commonly called the "Augusta Rule," allows a homeowner to rent their personal residence for up to 14 days per year and receive the rental income completely tax-free. The rental income does not need to be reported as income on your personal tax return
The provision was originally written to protect homeowners in Augusta, Georgia who rent their homes to spectators during the annual Masters Tournament. The IRS recognized that 14 days a year of rental income shouldn't trigger reporting requirements for an otherwise personal residence. The rule applies nationwide to anyone who rents their residence under 14 days
Critical mechanic for business owners:
If you own a business (LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp), the business can rent your personal residence for meetings, events, retreats, or any legitimate business purpose. The business pays you market-rate rent. The business deducts the rent as a business expense (reducing the business's taxable income). You receive the rent personally tax-free under Section 280A(g)
Result:
Business's taxable income: reduced by the amount of rent paid
Your personal taxable income: not increased (rent under Section 280A(g))
Net effect: cash moves from business to your personal account, fully tax-deductible on one side and fully tax-free on the other
This is a tax-arbitrage between the business entity and the individual that the tax code explicitly permits
The math:
Suppose your business is an S-Corp with $300,000 in annual taxable income. Your business is taxed at the corporate level (or flows through to you at personal rates depending on structure)
Without the Augusta Rule: business pays roughly $90,000-$120,000 in combined taxes on the $300K (depending on state and structure)
With the Augusta Rule: business rents your home for 14 days at $2,500/day = $35,000 in rent
Business taxable income reduces from $300,000 to $265,000
Tax savings on the $35,000 expense: roughly $10,500-$14,000 (at 30-40% effective business tax rate)
Personal income from $35,000 rent received: $0 (tax-free under 280A(g))
Net effect: $10,500-$14,000 in actual cash savings per year, just for renting your own house to your own business for 14 days
What is "market rate" rent:
The IRS requires the rental to be at a "fair market rate" for similar properties in your area. You can't rent your $400K home for $50,000/day. You also don't need to charge $200/day for a $2M property
Realistic market rates for short-term residential business rentals:
Modest home (under $400K): $400-$800/day
Mid-range home ($400K-$1M): $1,000-$2,500/day
Luxury home ($1M-$3M): $2,500-$5,000/day
High-end estate ($3M+): $5,000-$15,000+/day
You're typically renting your home for "executive retreats," "client meetings," "strategic planning sessions," "board meetings," etc. Market rate is what similar properties would charge as event venues or short-term executive rentals
How to support the market rate:
Get 3-5 comparable rental quotes from event venues, AirBnB executive rentals, or boutique meeting spaces in your area
Document the comparable rates in your business records
Use the median or 75th percentile rate, not the highest
If you can document that comparable executive retreat venues in your area rent for $3,000-$5,000/day, charging $3,500/day to your business is defensible
The execution:
Step 1: write a rental agreement between your business and you personally
The agreement should specify:
Dates of the rental (14 specific days per year max)
Rental rate per day
Purpose of the rental (business meeting, retreat, client event, strategic planning, etc.)
Standard rental terms (similar to commercial rental agreements)
Step 2: have a legitimate business purpose for each day of rental
Quarterly executive retreats (4 days/yr)
Annual strategic planning summit (3 days/yr)
Client appreciation event (2 days/yr)
Board meetings (3 days/yr)
Investor presentations (2 days/yr)
= 14 days/yr at $3,000/day = $42,000 in tax-free transfer
Step 3: document the business purpose with meeting minutes, agendas, attendee lists, and photos
Step 4: the business issues a 1099-MISC to you for the rental at year-end
Step 5: you report the rental on Schedule E of your personal tax return, then claim the Section 280A(g) exclusion (under 14 days = $0 reportable income)
Step 6: the business deducts the rent as an expense on the business tax return
Documentation requirements:
The IRS occasionally audits Augusta Rule claims because some taxpayers abuse the provision (renting at inflated rates, claiming days without legitimate business purpose, etc.). To survive audit:
Maintain calendar evidence of the 14 days
Maintain meeting agendas and minutes
Maintain attendee lists (employees, contractors, clients)
Maintain photos of the events
Have a written rental agreement
Have documentation of market rates
If you can produce all of this, the IRS audit defense is straightforward
The tax savings at scale:
Small business with $200K profit, rents at $1,500/day for 14 days:
Annual rent: $21,000
Tax savings at 35% effective rate: $7,350
Tax-free personal income: $21,000
Mid-size business with $500K profit, rents at $3,000/day for 14 days:
Annual rent: $42,000
Tax savings at 40% effective rate: $16,800
Tax-free personal income: $42,000
Large business with $2M profit, rents at $5,000/day for 14 days:
Annual rent: $70,000
Tax savings at 45% effective rate: $31,500
Tax-free personal income: $70,000
The savings scale linearly with the business size up to the 14-day limit. At the $5,000/day rate for 14 days ($70K), most business owners hit the practical ceiling
Compounding effect over time:
Using the Augusta Rule every year for 20 years on a mid-size business:
Annual tax savings: $16,800
Total over 20 years: $336,000
The Augusta Rule alone produces a third of a million dollars in extra wealth over a 20-year career for a single business owner
Other tax provisions stack with this:
Section 179: immediate expensing of equipment and vehicles purchased (up to $1.16M in 2024)
Bonus depreciation: 60-100% accelerated depreciation on assets
QBI deduction (Section 199A): 20% deduction on qualified business income
Section 121 home sale exclusion: $250K-$500K of profit on personal residence sale, tax-free
Health Savings Account: $4,150-$8,300 in pre-tax contributions, grows tax-free, withdrawn tax-free for medical
A business owner stacking all these provisions properly pays an effective tax rate of 12-18%. The same business owner without sophistication pays 28-35%
The difference is roughly $40K-$80K per year in saved tax. Over a 30-year career: $1.2M-$2.4M in extra net worth
The Augusta Rule is just one of about a dozen highly-leveraged tax provisions that ordinary tax filers never hear about because they're operating in W-2 reality. Every business owner with sophistication uses these provisions. Their accountants know about them. Their tax attorneys know about them. The IRS published them in the tax code
The middle-class American working a W-2 job has access to ZERO of these provisions. The W-2 employee can deduct standard items (mortgage interest, charitable giving, state and local taxes) but cannot:
Deduct vehicle expenses (no Section 179)
Deduct rental income from personal residence to employer (no 280A(g))
Get QBI deduction (W-2 income doesn't qualify)
Deduct home office (since 2017 W-2 employees lost this)
Strategic planning of capital gains (income is fixed by employer)
Almost everything that lets the wealthy reduce taxes requires you to be a business owner (or capital owner). The W-2 path categorically excludes you from the entire tax optimization layer
This is by design. The tax code rewards capital, business ownership, and asset accumulation. It punishes labor. The reward is approximately 20-30% lower effective tax rates for business owners using sophisticated strategies vs W-2 earners
The Augusta Rule is one of the simplest, lowest-effort tax savings available. Cost to implement: zero (if you already own a home and run a business). Time: maybe 4 hours per year for documentation. Annual savings: $7,000-$31,500
Most American business owners don't use the Augusta Rule. They don't know it exists. Their accountants might mention it once but never set up the structure. The provision sits in the tax code from 1976 waiting for someone to invoke it
You can be that someone. You need a home, a business, and 4 hours of paperwork per year
