Too many of you get caught in the trap of calling out commie "hypocrisy!" Read Orwell. You need to understand that the communist will frequently invert the party line from one day to the next, on purpose. The point is to test you. They want to know that you trust the state more than your own 2 eyes.

Remember in 1984: "we are now at war with EastAsia, we were ALWAYS at war with EastAsia"...then the next day it's completely inverted. It's not hypocrisy. It's deliberate. They want to see who balks at the obvious inversion of reality. If you scratch your head, you've just given yourself away...you're more invested in reality than the Party. So you will get the bullet.

It's not hypocrisy. It's hierarchy. Don't bother trying to shame them for their contradictions...that's all deliberate. This is why the modern woke communist pushes the most absurd nonsense. "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

They're not hypocrites. They're communists. And that's sooooo much worse.

Per my local police department, Flock charges approximately $3000/year per camera.

So American taxpayers are spending $349,671,000 per year to be constantly monitored. Most Americans are unaware this is happening.

I hope everyone will read Dave Ramsey’s comments about going cashless. It’s a two minute read. No one has explained it better. He brings up several situations I'd never considered.

I took this picture of my receipt in my beautiful town Kerrville Texas. I support this and I can see how this could affect our kids by having gaps in work ethic, financial literacy, and community connection.

Dave Ramsey repost:

HERE'S WHAT NO CASH ACTUALLY MEANS:
A cashless society means no cash. Zero. It doesn’t mean mostly cashless and you can still use a ‘wee bit of cash here & there’. Cashless means fully digital, fully traceable, fully controlled. I think those who support a cashless society aren’t fully aware of what they are asking for. A cashless society means:

* If you are struggling with your mortgage on a particular month, you can’t do an odd job to get you through.
* Your child can’t go & help the local farmer to earn a bit of summer cash.
* No more cash slipped into the hands of a child as a good luck charm or from their grandparent when going on holidays.
* No more money in birthday cards.
* No more piggy banks for your child to collect pocket money & to learn about the value of earning.
* No more cash for a rainy day fund or for that something special you have been putting $20 a week away for.
* No more little jobs on the side because your wages barely cover the bills or put food on the table.
* No more charity collections.
* No more selling bits & pieces from your home that you no longer want/need for a bit of cash in return.
* No more cash gifts from relatives or loved ones.
What a cashless society does guarantee:
* Banks have full control of every single penny you own.
* Every transaction you make is recorded.
* All your movements & actions are traceable.
* Access to your money can be blocked at the click of a button when/if banks need ‘clarification’ from you which will take about 3 weeks, a thousand questions answered & five thousand passwords.
* You will have no choice but to declare & be taxed on every dollar in your possession.
* The government WILL decide what you can & cannot purchase.
* If your transactions are deemed in any way questionable, by those who create the questions, your money will be frozen, ‘for your own good’.

Forget about cash being dirty. Stop being so easily led. Cash has been around for a very, very, very long time & it gives you control over how you trade with the world. It gives you independence.

If you are a customer, pay with cash. If you are a shop owner, remove those ridiculous signs that ask people to pay by card. Cash is a legal tender, it is our right to pay with cash. Banks are making it increasingly difficult to lodge cash.

Please open your eyes. Please stop believing everything you are being told. Almost every single topic in today’s world is tainted with corruption & hidden agendas.
Pay with cash & please say no to a cashless society while you still have the choice.

This song is very popular here in Japan and many artists often cover it. I particularly love this one.

What if I told you the financial system is about to be completely rewritten.

We're not talking about crypto pumps or meme coins.

We're talking about the complete tokenization of everything humans create, own, and earn from.

Here's where we're headed.
XLS-66d passes on the XRP Ledger. You deposit your XRP into a lending pool. You never sell. You just earn. Every year that yield hits your wallet like clockwork.

Now what do you do with it?
You buy a fraction of a rental property in Phoenix. Not the whole house — a piece. 47 other people own pieces too. A smart contract collects the rent every month and distributes your cut automatically.
No landlord.
No middleman.
No bank.
Your rent income stacks.
You take that and buy a fraction of an up and coming artist's music catalog. Her song gets licensed for a Netflix film. The smart contract detects the placement. Your royalty hits your wallet before the credits finish rolling.
You take those royalties and you find a 16 year old soccer player in Brazil. A blockchain has been tracking his training data, his performance stats, his entire athletic journey since he was 12. You buy his athlete token for $50. Three years later he signs with PSG. Token holders get a percentage of the contract value.
Automatically.
Instantly.
On chain.
You take that payout and buy a fraction of a Basquiat print. It sits in a vault in Geneva. Every time it's loaned to a museum for exhibition — you earn.
This isn't science fiction.
The pipes are being built RIGHT NOW.
Ripple Custody is already settling Korean government bonds on chain. The ECB made DLT assets eligible as collateral. Wells Fargo just filed a stablecoin trademark. The DTCC is tokenizing $59 trillion in US equities. Goldman Sachs holds XRP exposure in a federal filing under oath.
The old system extracts from you.
Gas prices up.
Rent up.
Groceries up.
Insurance up.
JPMorgan just printed $16.5 billion in one quarter off the same chaos bleeding your paycheck dry.
The new system lets you own pieces of everything and earn from all of it simultaneously.
XRP isn't just a payment token.
It's the neutral bridge that connects every tokenized asset on every chain with no flag, no clawback, no kill switch.
The goose doesn't just lay golden eggs.
It funds the farm, the music studio, the stadium, and the gallery.
Are you early or are you watching?
Were no longer auditing the plumbing
Were owning it.🪿🛡️

Calling all MAGA/America First Patriots!

Republican Tina Forte (@TinaForteUSA) is challenging Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for New York’s heavily Democratic Bronx-Queens seat (NY’s 14th Congressional District).

In the past she has gotten 30% of the votes in this highly Democrat district.

With Mamdani screwing everything up in NYC, and AOC more interested in other states and districts but her own, Tina Forte may have a chance.

I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of our President, Donald J Trump.

The Democrat machine arrogantly assumes it will rule forever. Well they're in for a shock: Californians are desperate for change, and I will work harder than you've ever seen, for everyone in our beautiful state, to make it happen.

Golden Again. ✊☀️🇺🇸
