So, I make $100 and the government takes 1/3 of that.
I take the 2/3 remaining to me and I buy something that I need.
They tax that.
I take what is left over and split it in half: half to the bank and have to an investment account.
The interest I make from the bank?
They tax that.
The interest I make from my investments?
They tax that.
If somehow, after all the confiscations, I’m able to buy myself a piece of land they will tax my purchase.
Then, even though they pretend I owe the land, they charge me every year for the right to live on it.
While the Democrats and Republicans keep us fighting each other over how much billionaires are taxed, we stop looking at how much money they take from us and pour into a monstrous bureaucracy that every day seems to take away a little more of our freedoms and give us less in return.
Just a note for all of you who have picked a side in the tyrannical two party system.
Yesterday morning, my mother unexpectedly passed into everlasting life. She died of natural causes and while my family was caught off-guard, I am yet thankful for the life she gave me. I thank you for your prayers.
Rest in peace, Mom. You've earned it.
A poignant moment as football fans en route to the 1922 Cup Final between Huddersfield and Preston remove their hats in silent respect while passing the Cenotaph War Memorial in London.
In a society on the ascent, everyone dresses up. Just look at pictures from the Gilded Age: out in the street, even in the poor areas, everyone is in a suit. They wanted to show they were bettering themselves, had dignity, etc.
But ours is a decadent society on the decline, so far from dressing up, everyone dresses like a slob, mimicking the worst among us so as to give the impression via sweatpants and oversized t-shirt that one is no better than his fellows. It's egalitarianism as applied to dress
Represent the hierarchy you want to see in the world; dress well, and encourage others to do likewise
JD Vance just delivered some of the most powerful words ever spoken about Charlie Kirk.
The crowd hung on every word as the Vice President unleashed a firestorm.
“Charlie suffered a terrible fate, my friends. We all know it. We all saw it, but think it is not the worst fate.”
“It is better to face a gunman than to live your life afraid to speak the truth.”
“It is better to be persecuted for your faith than to deny the kingship of Christ.”
“It is better to die a young man in this world than to sell your soul for an easy life with no purpose, no risk, no love, and no truth.”
Goosebumps.
Tucker Carlson shares a transformational lesson he learned from Charlie Kirk about hate.
The look on Tucker’s face spoke volumes. Not a single word was wasted.
“Charlie was really saying… the only change that matters when we repent of our sins. We, ME, a recognition that the real problem is me and how fallen I am.
“And that was the reason that Charlie was fearless at all times, truly fearless to his last moment. He was unafraid, he was not defensive, and there was no hate in his heart. I know that because I’ve got a little hate compartment in my heart.
“And I would often express that to Charlie about various people. And he would always say, always say, ‘That’s a sad person, that’s a broken person. That’s a person who needs help. That’s a person who needs Jesus.’ He said that in private because he meant it.”
Call me crazy but I thought the major violation of free speech last week was when the free speech guy got shot in the neck for promoting free speech.
Evidently, it was the vaccine salesman with terrible ratings getting fired.
Democrats are the only group on the planet that can gun down an innocent man, celebrate his death, mock his wife, destroy memorials for him, lie about who killed him and somehow STILL make themselves the victims.
The number of people celebrating Charlie Kirk's death who work as teachers, nurses, psychologists, social workers, and other "helping professions" is immensely disturbing. We have a serious problem in this country.
