BREAKING: Odds of California’s billionaire tax passing plummet, amid a $120M opposition campaign led by Silicon Valley tech moguls.

28% chance.

🚨 Here is the full 53 minutes of my crew and I exposing New York fraud, we uncovered over $190,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters use the elderly and needy to commit fraud through adult and personal home care scams in NYC. Your tax dollars are paying for elderly Koreans and Chinese to play ping pong and do tai chi, while the fraudsters give $ kickbacks to those who enroll. Like it and share this video, the fraud must STOP.

We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for fraudsters to steal from our pockets. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians. Time is up.

EXPOSE IT ALL AND END THE FRAUD.

I triple majored in math, philosophy, and history. What stands out the most about that time now is how:

— My math profs trashed religion and philosophy

— My philosophy profs trashed religion and math

— My history profs trashed philosophy and religion

All trashed conservatives

People think you have to choose science or faith. I see math and laws and physics as his tools… what kind of engineer would build something needing constant tinkering? It goes in motion and unfolds as it should, it reacts to energy, including benevolence and sin, accordingly.

One night well after midnight in July 1990 I drove a Jeep off a cliff in the Montana woods, landed upside down in a creek, but miraculously survived. Around six in the morning I got home from the ER. My answering machine was blinking. Four messages from my mother in Minnesota, increasingly frantic, demanding that I call her -- the first call time stamped just minutes after the accident.

I called her. She picked up instantly. "Oh my god, you're okay," she said before I could speak. "I dreamed you were lying bleeding in a ditch and I couldn't get to you."

@ScharoBajalan They are fake attacks and operations, it’s almost laughable how easily they can fool the west. Sadly, lots of innocents will die as part of this as that’s exactly what happened in Afghanistan.

Utah County Chief Deputy Attorney Chad Grunander says the prosecution has presented “overwhelming” evidence against Tyler Robinson.

After four full days of testimony, Grunander questioned why the preliminary hearing is still continuing.

GRUNANDER: “Your Honor has heard four days of testimony now.”

“The evidence is overwhelming. It’s devastating.”

“And the question needs to be asked, the purpose of continuing with testimony if it is long and drawn out.”

“Of course, the defense has the right to call witnesses, but it needs to be within the context of this preliminary hearing.”

WATCH: Tennessee Train Conductor Fired After Triggering Woke Passengers With Epic July 4 Message | Jordan Conradson, The Gateway Pundit

A seasonal railway conductor for Tennessee’s Incline Railway at Lookout Mountain has been fired after making now-viral comments, wishing riders a happy Independence Day, which triggered some passengers.

The conductor, identified as Jack Peterson, is clearly fed up with mass migration policies that are ruining our country. He hilariously told passengers on the Fourth of July, “To the very, very few Americans in here, happy Independence Day.”

He continued, “To the rest of you, welcome to the greatest country on the face of the planet, and if you disagree, you can leave.”

It is unclear how many foreigners were on board the train.

The conductor was fired almost immediately after father Charles Scherer and son Nathan Scherer caught the moment on camera and promptly reported Peterson to the Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA), which operates the train.

Nathan Scherer described the comments as “disparaging remarks about foreigners” in an interview, adding, “Even if you were critical of the country, the idea that you have to leave if you have any complaints… the whole thing is weird to me.”

“He doesn’t really know who is American and who’s not just by the way they look, so that kind of floored us,” Nathan’s father, Charles, said. While discussing Peterson’s immediate firing on the same day as the incident, Charles said, “That made me feel really good about CARTA and about their responsiveness to this and believing it should have been handled.

Peterson declined to comment on the incident.

According to Fox News, CARTA Chief of Staff Scott Wilson told News 9, “I want to apologize directly to the passengers who experienced this, and to everyone who has seen the video and felt its sting. It should never have happened.”

“We have zero tolerance for language that demeans or excludes anyone who rides with us. For 131 years, the Incline Railway has welcomed visitors from Chattanooga and from around the world. Every passenger who boards our railway deserves to feel respected and welcome, and we are committed to making sure that is always the case,” Wilson added.

In a statement to Fox News, Wilson said, “We certainly agree this is the greatest country on the face of the planet, especially in this 250th anniversary year of the Declaration of Independence,” while decrying “rudeness toward our guests.”

Local media are pearl-clutching as usual over the “troubling” comments.

Important lesson in Pyotr Wrangel's policy toward enemy prisoners:

Not everyone who suited up in Communist uniform during the Russian Civil War was a true believer. Some may have been lied to, some coerced. Some might be won over to your side, so leave them a path back toward the light. Magnanimity and clemency can go a long way. (As for the ringleaders and officers, severity is in order and examples must be made.)

Wrangel points to his predecessor's failure to recognize this as one of the reasons why the Whites lost:

“His narrow and uncompromising policy had persecuted not only all those whose ideas differ from his own, but also everyone who had dealings of any kind with hostile organizations, or even with organizations not sufficiently favorable to the volunteer cause. He had hunted down not only those who had been in touch with the Bolshevists in some way or another, perhaps against their will, but also anyone who had been connected with the Ukraine, the Georgian Republic, and so on. This insane and cruel policy provoked a reaction, alienated those who had been ready to become our allies, and turned into enemies those who had sought our friendship.”

Applicable to our own struggles.

17 year ago today I went into labour, on my 16th birthday. 3 days later I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. I thought I was saved from the horror I was living, being raped daily by gangs of men for years. I thought that we would both be saved and we would get to a safe place and live happily ever after. Instead they took her from me because "i was exposed to a pedophile ring and it wasnt safe for a child", yet they left me there to carry on being raped.
17 years ive lived without her. Without knowing where she is or if she is even alive. Ive missed her first everything. I sometimes lay and imagine hiw she will look or what she is like. There will always be a part of me missing that went when they took her. There will always be grief for every second I live without her in my life, and no amount of justice will ever bring that back. No amount of accountability on failings will ever fix that.
Every year on my birthday I struggle knowing that 3 days later im missing her birthday and that its another year added onto my grief.
This year has been harder than normal with everything else going on and the trauma this has all dragged up for me.
Im normally the strong one. The one that picks things up for the others and helps them fight. Thats there listening to them and helping them through their suffering. But right now im barley even getting through each day and I feel like im letting everyone down.
Im trying to pick myself back up and face everything head on but its not as easy as I wish it was. Im 33 year old today and what happened to me as a child still haunts each and every day, each and every dream and every part of my life. Its left scars that will never heal and a burden thats hard to carry. Im sorry to everyone thats having to deal with seeing my statuses as I know they are alot different lately than they normally are but I really think its important that people understand the level of trauma left for the victims to deal with and the failings still coming along with that. Everyone sees me holding things together on TV and fighting all the time, but in reality I still have to deal with so much that sometimes the load can become unbearable.
Recently is one of them times.

Today, a court ruled, once again, that Adrian Fontes violated the law. And not for the first time, he was caught violating the First Amendment itself.

This is a pattern. Court after court has had to step in to stop Fontes from breaking the rules he’s sworn to enforce. Arizona’s chief election officer shouldn’t need judges to explain the Constitution or basic state election laws to him, yet repeatedly they’ve had to.

Arizonans deserve a Secretary of State who follows the law the first time, so every legal vote counts and every voter, regardless of Party, can trust both the process and outcome of our elections.

The fact that our Democrat leaders are playing cover for the worst of the worst should be appalling to anyone. The fact that Rubio had to do this is insane, but a welcome bit of justice in an unjust world.
