Few acts are worse than bearing false witness. If you suffer from IRONY DEFICIENCY block me; please, do. Remember, "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur".
I haven’t seen many headlines about this today but it’s important we never forget the Dallas Massacre of July 7th, 2016 wherein 5 law enforcement officers were ambushed and slaughtered at a BLM protest in Dallas. It was the deadliest incident for US law enforcement since 9/11. Never forget.
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.
@MAGA__Patriot I made a quick drive from MN to CA about ten years ago. Somewhere in AZ a storm blew over. It cut off power in the area. I was running on fumes, but made it to a station. The pump worked, but CC transactions didn't. I used a couple of handy Andy Jacksons; problem solved.😀
The ancient Greeks, inventors of democracy, would elect their officials to one year terms.
Each officials' finances were audited at the beginning and end of their term If anything was amiss, they would be tried and executed!
Time to bring it here!
Why are all these people coming out of the woodwork to report that they've suddenly had really great conversations with Mitch McConnell?
The guy who was found unconscious on the floor.
Who needed CPR.
Who paramedics said was suspected of having a heart attack.
Who's been in the hospital for 3 weeks.
Whose aides won't tell us anything.
But now
Out of nowhere
All these people say they've had great chats with him.
Really?
@WendyBellPgh Full disclosure, I'm just a nobody living in Tennessee and even I got a phone call last night from Mitch. Out of the blue he calls, and we chat about this, that, and sundry things. After a few hours, I had to admit I just had to catch some sleep. Talk about stamina!*
*fiction😬
Nancy Mace grills former Democrat DOJ special counsel Brendan Ballou on whether or not Somali migrants should have to speak English.
His answer: “That question is inappropriate.”
@BrandonStraka It's typical. If Democrats have a question that they can't answer or don't want to answer they're going to accuse you of being racist or inappropriate.
The American people deserve to know what’s happening in the Senate.
After the massive calculated coverup of President Biden’s cognitive decline, we expect transparency & accountability from our gov’t.
This is especially important when legislation may come down to 1 vote.
Elon Musk just said the one thing about America they made sure you’d never learn.
The one thing that should’ve made you proud, not ashamed.
Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”
One nation held a weapon no civilization had ever possessed.
Total monopoly on destruction. No rival. No consequence. No limit.
Every empire in history that held that kind of power did the only thing empires know how to do.
They took until there was nothing left to take.
America had a greater advantage than all of them combined.
And rebuilt the nations it just defeated.
Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”
Not almost unprecedented.
It had never happened. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded civilization.
The nation with the power to take everything chose to rebuild instead.
Enemies became allies. Rubble became economies. Surrender became partnership.
Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a single generation.
Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.
Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.
Into the capital of the country that just tried to end the free world.
That decision reshaped every economy, every alliance, and every trade route on the planet.
Billions of people lifted out of poverty over the next half century trace back to one moment. One nation choosing restraint over domination.
No other country in history can make that claim. Not one.
Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”
Every nation on earth has blood in its history.
But the measure of a nation was never its worst chapter.
It’s what it does when nobody can stop it.
When nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.
You’re being told every day that this country is something to be ashamed of.
By people who have no idea what the world looks like without it.
Every free market. Every open border for trade. Every democracy that took root outside Europe stands in the shadow of that single decision.
The values that built this country didn’t just shape America.
They shaped the modern world.
AI is about to hand a small number of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look primitive.
1945 was the first test.
AI is the last.
That power is going to exist. The only question left is who holds it.
The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.
It was having the power to take everything and choosing not to.
The people trying hardest to tear that story down have never built a single thing worth defending.
The next time some Leftist talk about Kings and Dictators keep in mind their party is about to replace a duty elected Democrat nominee for the US Senate with someone who got ZERO vote -- and this is the 2nd time that national Democrats have this
Well done comrades
It's great that so many MAGA influencers now want all the Muslims expelled from the USA.
But let's be serious: it wasn't Democrats who flooded Texas with 330 mosques.
The GOP is not going to save you.
We must destroy the uniparty filth.
