Call me woke or whatever but I don’t think children watching baseball should be subjected to boner pill commercial, Sydney Sweeney naked gambling ad, Liberty Bibberty, and even more gambling ads every single commercial break
Just a reminder that Mike Johnson put the House into recess to prevent an impeachment of Pete Hegseth and a vote on a new Epstein Files bill.
He’ll keep them in recess until after the midterms. They are being paid a $174,000 salary to not work in order to protect criminals.
After this "president" has dropped countless F-bombs, told his supporters to "cheat like hell," and said "we're gonna shove it up their ass," I don't want to hear ONE Republican hypocrite bitching about "decorum."
This jackass is a DISGRACE to the office.
HYPOTHETICALLY… IF I BOUGHT MY HOUSE FOR $125,000 IN 2002 AND THE COUNTY NOW SAYS IT’S WORTH $487,000, WHERE DID I ACTUALLY MAKE $362,000?
Did I sell it? No.
Did I receive $362,000? No.
Did somebody hand me a check for the new assessed value? Obviously not.
But my property taxes still go up because, on paper, my house is suddenly worth hundreds of thousands more.
That’s the part that doesn’t make sense to me.
This isn’t income.
It isn’t cash sitting in my bank account.
It’s a number someone assigned to my property, and now I’m being billed based on that number.
If my stock portfolio doubles but I don’t sell, I haven’t turned that gain into cash.
If my salary stays the same, I don’t suddenly owe more income tax because someone thinks I’m worth more.
So why does owning a home work differently?
WHY AM I PAYING TAX ON A GAIN I NEVER REALIZED?
A house isn’t just an investment.
It’s where people live.
You can pay off the mortgage, own the property outright, and still face a bigger bill every year because the value of the house went up on paper.
At some point, you have to ask what “owning” something actually means if the cost of keeping it can keep rising because of money you never received.
THIS ISN’T ABOUT WHETHER THE HOUSE IS “WORTH” MORE.
IT’S ABOUT BEING CHARGED FOR VALUE YOU NEVER TURNED INTO CASH.
And people are starting to notice.
@michaeljknowles The Catholics of Daily Wire are something else. Between Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles, it’s like they’re having a contest to see who can come up with the most vicious way to kill.
Weird look.
Having to pay $3,000 out of pocket for my daughter’s braces while having what the dentist called “really good dental insurance” is exactly why I’ll continue to say this
Dental and vision not being included in health insurance is a scam that doesn’t get talked about nearly enough
Netanyahu:
"I can penetrate this machine (a smartphone) and make you out to be a monster. And if I say it enough people believe it."
He doest even hide it. A global Zionist network of espionage, sabotage and lies to keep killing kids and stealing lands.
MY DAD HASN’T HAD A MORTGAGE IN 15+ YEARS, He’s 74.
He’s lived in the same house since 1997.
No mortgage.
No landlord.
No rent.
But this year, the government wants $6,800 from him just because he owns the property.
Last year it was $5,500.
That’s a $1,300 increase on someone living mostly on Social Security and a small pension.
So what exactly does “owning your home” mean if you can lose it because you can’t keep up with the yearly bill?
I honestly don’t understand how we normalized this.
Today is the day the internet can collectively wave goodbye to the “everybody grieves differently” storyline.
There is no sane widow who could suffer her husband’s public assasination and then agree to handover his final private moments captured with his children to Andrew Wilson so that he can troll the internet while raising money.
It is such a disturbing development that there is no other rational determination other than Erika is a deeply disturbed individual. She shouldn’t be able to look at footage that precious without swelling with tears. To instead choose to publicly dishonor your late husband by allowing his last private moments captured on earth with his kids to be chopped and screwed and handed over to Andrew Wilson for no objective reason outside of internet trolling demonstrates, yet again, that something is emotionally and spiritually amiss with Erika Kirk.
This not a regular PR blunder. It registers to the public as psychotic. Full stop.
I will not be voting in November and I don’t care if republicans lose the midterms.
- I voted for Trump and down ticket Republican 3x.
- No, I’m not a Democrat now.
- No, I won’t be voting Democrat in the future.
I’m just sick of DO NOTHING REPUBLICANS that expect my vote.
My project manager came into my office this morning to tell me she’s stepping down to become a stay-at-home mom.
She makes $68,000 a year.
Her husband earns $72,000.
They just had their second child, so she called licensed local daycare centers to get quotes for an infant and a toddler.
Average cost: $2,650 a month. That’s $31,800 every year straight out of their post-tax income.
After federal taxes, state taxes, and healthcare deductions, her take-home pay was roughly $3,700 a month.
After paying $2,650 for daycare, she was working 40 hours a week to net $1,050 a month…..or about $6.50 an hour.
She looked at me and said: "I’m literally spending 160 hours a month away from my kids just to clear $250 a week after childcare costs."
We didn't just build an expensive economy.
We built a system where holding down a mid-class job as a second earner costs more than staying home.
Republicans passed legislation that requires people to work at least 80 hours per month to receive Medicaid.
Over the past two months, Republican leadership worked, on average, for only 56 hours.
They wouldn't even meet the work requirements they forced on working families.
The White House media ban
reminds me of the Teddy Roosevelt quote:
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
THIS ISN’T RIGHT!😡🤬
Watch and Listen!
Senator McConnell is called.
He replies: “No.”
Then Sen. Boozman leans in and tells him “Aye.”
An aide also jumps in to say “aye.”
McConnell’s name is then called AGAIN.
McConnell then says: “Aye.”
This is not a senator voting.
This is a man being prompted like a prop so a bill can pass committee.
They shut down the Legislative Branch of the United States of America because I was outmaneuvering the Speaker to expose a global sex trafficking ring and impeach a rogue cabinet secretary.
It was the only way they could stop me.
Hey Blake— more parents rolling into the tips box and claiming that students were given an absence if they did not attend Erika’s speech.
Do you deny this?
Is your plan to gaslight underaged kids and their parents?
Is this the new way forward?; force students to watch Erika and then abusively gaslight them by claiming they could have simply opted out without mention of the consequence they would have endured?
