@GoldieLocks1776 @Hoffdogg1111 @CathleenDarby Don’t agree with prison, scum bags like this deserve execution. Better yet, hung in the public street. I guarantee you some of these people would think twice if we just went back to that.

@GoldieLocks1776 @SuzanneEdoran We should not have to live like this.
Death. Penalty.
It will stop this animalistic behavior.

😔😥😔 You can feel the pain in Tom Homan’s voice when he talks about children rescued from child trafficking.

As a woman & a mother, I’m 💔

"We just found one two days ago. A 14-year-old little girl. Living with two adult males. Who trafficked her. We found her, she’s pregnant. From trafficking forced into prostitution. 14 years old. We are taking care of her. Both physically and mentally.

Despite what the media says, we are not heartless. We care about these kids. I am a father. I’ve held dying children. I’ve held dead children. I’ve talked to little girls as young as 9 that were raped multiple times by the criminal cartels. You never forget it. When you get on your knees to talk to a 9 year old girl, when everything innocent & pure was ripped from her & she doesn’t believe in humanity anymore after having a bunch of animals crawl on her, taking everything from her. You never forget it.

That shit is happening every day. We are going to put an end to it.”

Thank GOD for TOM HOMAN 🙏

Unrealized gains tax for Gen-Z:

You buy a Pokémon card for $50.

Someone offers you $500 for it. You say no. You love that card. You're keeping it.

The government says: "Cool, but that card is worth $500 now. You owe us $100 in taxes."
You: "…I didn't sell it."

Government: "Don't care. Pay up."

You don't have $100 lying around. So you're forced to sell the card you love just to pay a tax on money you never received.

Next month? That card drops back to $50.

Your card is gone. Your money is gone. And the government shrugs.

That's a wealth tax on unrealized gains. They don't pay you back the tax...

Now picture this.

Your mom calls you crying. She has to sell the house she raised you in. Not because she can't afford it. She's lived there 30 years. It's paid off.

But some website says it's worth more now and the government says she owes $15,000 she doesn't have.

So she sells your childhood home. The kitchen where she made you breakfast. The doorframe where she marked your height every birthday.

Gone.

To pay a tax on money that was never real.

Now picture the opposite.

Your dad put everything into his small business. For 20 years he built it from nothing. One year the business is "valued" at $2 million on paper. He owes a massive tax bill. He empties his savings. Sells his truck. Borrows money. Pays it.

Next year the market crashes. His business is worth $200,000.

He lost everything to pay a tax on a number that doesn't exist anymore.

Does the government give him his money back?
No.

Does the government give him his truck back?
No.

Does the government care?
No.

They sold this idea as "taxing billionaires." But billionaires have armies of lawyers, offshore accounts, and trusts. They'll be fine.

You know who won't be fine? Your mom. Your dad. Your neighbor with a small business. The farmer down the road who's had the same land for four generations and now has to sell it because dirt got expensive.

You're not taxing wealth. You're taxing people for owning things.

It's like getting a parking ticket for a car you might drive somewhere someday.

They want you to own nothing and be happy. To fund the fraud, waste and abuse of the welfare state they created.

There is enough money. More tax isn't needed. It's all a lie. But you've been gaslit into believing this is a rich vs poor debate.

I hope you understand what's at stake.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) just announced plans to introduce legislation making the Pride flag a "congressionally authorized" symbol—giving it the same status as the American flag.

How can any true Christian back this? Democrats are obsessed with shoving this perversion and wickedness into our kids' lives and our culture. The LGBTQ community already has every right everyone else does, but that's not enough—they demand to force their ideology on us like a new religion. Meanwhile, these same Democrats never lift a finger for actual faith. Just a bunch of godless hypocrites pushing an agenda straight from the pit.

Wake up, America! Stand for biblical truth. #DefendFaith #NoToPrideAgenda #ChristianValues

Final thoughts after the Daytona 500.

I am now officially a NASCAR guy.

16 years ago, SPEED gave me my first break on screen. Beyond proud to be bringing back a name that means so much to the racing community with my friend @KevinHarvick. Your weekly dose of racing news and debate. If it’s got a motor in it, we’ll talk about it. See you soon.

Had not seen this. That was bigger than I realized!

@Mr_Husky1 Absolutely

[Garage 66 & MBM Motorsports @MBMMotorsports]

P32 in the Daytona 500, getting by 88-Zilisch on the last lap.

A shame about the early right front damage, @CJMearsGang was at a deficit the rest of the day. But still proud of our team for being in the big show!

I do wonder how the people in NASCAR feel that their 2nd tier series is superior in almost every way except for star power

On the grid for The Great American Race 🔥💪

“Why the **** would he roll up the track?”

You mean the one with four flat tires, no brakes, no front end, a hood draped over his windshield, and a destroyed race car?

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Wow

[Kelly Crandall @KellyCrandall]

What a thrash for the Carl Long team to strip the Atlanta car and use its pieces for the Daytona 500 car that was damaged last night. Casey Mears was just out here videoing his team going through engine fire up on the repaired car.

[Brett Griffin @SpotterBrett]

Said it before and I’ll say it again. The current day NASCAR is tough on all rookies in every series. You can run all the sim you want.

Little to no applicable practice. Think he got 3 laps yesterday. Tough to learn like that. Vehicles don’t need practice but the drivers do.

[Garage 66 & MBM Motorsports @MBMMotorsports]

TODAY at 12:00 pm ET on network FOX, the @ARCA_Racing stars take center stage @DAYTONA, and MBM's Derek White rolls off on Row 3.

[Matt Weaver @MattWeaverRA]

Casey Mears is getting choked up in the media center as he tells us that Bob Germain, his former team owner in Cup, called him when he announced he wanted to get to 500 starts.

"He called me and the number was a lot more than I expected. He's the real guy behind this."

He also praised Carl Long for how invested, hands-on, and smart he is to make this work.

[Chase Briscoe @chasebriscoe]

Never thought when I took this in 2012 that we’d share the @DAYTONA 500 Front Row together 😂
