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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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."
Our family is taking a trip through Greece and Lauren and I just had the most amazing journey-trading the steps of the Apostle Paul from Athens to Corinth to share the gospel. Unbelievable history and scenery.🙏🏽
An Iranian woman in Germany says:
“I came from Iran and I am in Germany because Islam destroyed my life there. Now, I am afraid that Sharia will come here too.”
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.”
Katie Miller: "My oldest child is fully vaccinated. My youngest child is not vaccinated at all. My oldest child had a milk soy protein allergy… My third child… never ever gets sick."
NEW: White House to host law enforcement groups tomorrow to address and iron out concerns with the Clarity Act 🇺🇸
"The meetings come on the heels of a broader industry push to win support for the bill from lawmakers and law enforcement," Eleanor Terrett reports 👀
