Tried to log into my bank this morning

Not a new bank. My bank. The one that has my money

First it wanted my password

Wrong

Tried the other one

Wrong

Reset it

"New password cannot match any of your last 24 passwords"

That is every password I have ever used

Created a new one that I will forget next week

Then it said "please verify you are human"

I am human

I have a mortgage

I paid $52.18 for bread, milk, and eggs last week

Only a human would do that

But the bank was not convinced

"Select all squares with traffic lights"

Nine squares

Three had traffic lights

One had the edge of a traffic light pole

Maybe two pixels of yellow paint

Stared at it for a full minute

Selected it

Wrong

"Select all squares with stairs"

Two squares had stairs

One had a ramp

Is a ramp stairs

A ramp is the opposite of stairs

I selected the two obvious ones

Wrong

It wanted the ramp

I am a CFO

I've fired people with more due process than this

But I cannot pass a test designed to keep bots out of my own checking account

"Click and hold until the image stops moving"

A jigsaw puzzle piece floated across the screen

Held it

"Verification failed"

Held it for thirteen seconds

My finger cramped

"Success"

Then a new screen

"Your account has been locked due to suspicious activity"

The suspicious activity was me

Trying to access my own account

Called customer service

The phone menu had ten options

None of them were "your website thinks I am a robot"

Thirty-seven minutes on hold

The same fourteen seconds of smooth jazz

Looping

Every ninety seconds a voice told me my call was important

It did not sound important

Finally a man answered

"Thank you for holding, my name is John"

That man's name was not John

We both knew it

I did not press the issue

John asked for my mother's maiden name, my first pet, and the street I grew up on

He unlocked the account in forty seconds

Forty seconds

The bank trusts John more than me

And John does not exist

Final tally

Nineteen minutes of captchas

Thirty-seven minutes of smooth jazz

One man who was not named John

To access money that is mine

At an institution that emails me every single day asking if I want a home equity line of credit

My wife walked in

She said "what are you doing"

I said "proving to a computer that I'm not a computer"

She said "are you winning"

I said "I just spent an hour deciding if a ramp is stairs"

She said "that sounds like something a computer would do"

She wasn't wrong

She usually isn't

Plz fix. Thx.

MUST WATCH: South Carolina Rep Russell Fry just DEMOLISHED SPLC CEO— forcing him to admit that Graham Platner would be considered a hateful extremist for his nazi tattoo, but wasn’t labeled by the SPLC because they target Republicans.

Brutal

Reality hurts, doesn’t it?

[Rep. Wesley Hunt Press Office @RepWPH]

The Democrat Party has built an entire political machine on grievance.

They don’t solve problems.
They reopen wounds.

They don’t offer a vision for the future.
They sell resentment from the past.

Every election, it’s the same script:

“Racism.”
“White supremacy.”
“Jim Crow.”
“Democracy is dying.”

And when those talking points aren’t enough, they roll out their favorite accomplices… the media, activist groups, and organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center, to smear, label, and silence anyone who dares challenge their narrative.

Why?

Because fear is their currency.
Division is their strategy.
Outrage is their oxygen.

Democrats flooded our country with millions of illegal aliens for four years. Now they want to keep them here.

It’s time to pass the reconciliation bill to fund ICE, fund CBP, and finish the job.

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

For years, hospitals kept Americans in the dark about the true cost of care. Families made medical decisions without knowing the price—and too often got hit with bills that drained their savings.

That ends now.

Under President Trump’s leadership, HHS is enforcing hospital price transparency with real consequences. @DrOzCMS and I have a simple message for hospitals: Post your actual prices. Come into compliance immediately—or face serious consequences.

[Wesley Hunt @WesleyHuntTX]

Hey Jasmine…

Black pilot here.

I think you missed the plot.
Then again, that’s becoming a pattern.

I graduated from West Point.
I went through Army flight school.
I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache.
I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad.

Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color.

Nobody lowered the standards for me.

Nobody looked at me and said, “Let’s check a diversity box.”

That’s what people like you don’t seem to understand.

Suggesting that Black pilots, Black engineers, Black doctors, or Black leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting.

I didn’t want a different standard.
I wanted the same standard.

And when you’re flying into combat, the American people don’t care what race the pilot is.

They care whether the pilot is qualified.

Merit isn’t racist.
Excellence isn’t discriminatory.

And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

VICTORY!

The House just passed the budget reconciliation bill 214-212.

This means that ICE & Border Patrol are FULLY FUNDED for the next 3 years.

Every democrat voted against it.

President Trump’s promise to secure the border is funded for the rest of his administration.

Congratulations to @SpeakerJohnson for this huge win with one of the most narrow majorities in American history.

The bill is on the way to President Trump’s desk.

Why do states controlled by Democrats have energy that is 50% higher?

Me: “Should illegal aliens receive taxpayer-funded unemployment benefits?”

Newman: “I don't know what you mean by illegal aliens.”

His organization circulated a petition to give illegal aliens taxpayer-funded unemployment benefits.

🚨 JUST IN: Stunning moment as Rep. Jim Jordan CONFIRMS that the Biden DOJ DROPPED THE CASE against the Southern Poverty Law Center, despite them funding KKK neo-nazis and TRIPLING their fundraising after Charlottesville to $100M + 🤯

Don't JUST indict the SPLC — indict the Deep Staters who knew!

"They would've gotten away it but for Congress and the [Trump] DOJ!"

"The guy at the Charlottesville Rally helped plan that rally, coordinate transportation there, was paid to attend after the event, again, after the event where a lady was killed, the Southern Poverty Law Center almost tripled their income, $51 million to $133 million, after they were coordinated the hate that took place at that crazy rally!"

"You run a scam, you become the standard, you don't get prosecuted, and you make a ton of money. They got 800 million assets, 700 million in an endowment."

[Joe Rogan Recaps @JoeRoganRecaps]

Joe Rogan can no longer hide how he really feels anymore after exposing to financial expert Caleb Hammer that Bernie Sanders is a total hypocrite:

ROGAN: “Bernie Sanders used to rally against millionaires, but now he’s a millionaire so he started moving the goalposts to billionaires being the problem. It’s adorable.”

HAMMER: “Even Gavin Newsom is starting to change his tune on the billionaire tax.”

ROGAN: “Yeah because all the billionaires are leaving his state. All he cares about is his personal gain. He doesn’t give any real answers to questions.”

HAMMER: “That’s true.”

ROGAN: “There’s a giant number of college kids now that think communism is the solution. They genuinely believe in it. It’s very scary.”

HAMMER: “They’re retarded. Communism has never worked anywhere ever.”

ROGAN: “These teachers and professors don’t live in the real world. They’ve never had their own business. They are brainwashing kids with ideas and concepts that don’t work at all in real life.”
