The data center under the ballroom is going to turn the White House into the proverbial Wizard of Oz.

Elaborate optical illusions of great and powerful leaders while actually it’s just a bunch of boxes, wires and switches behind the curtain.

God is faithful. He just needs me to sit still and surrender. Financial surrender is so hard, but He has never not come through for me. His promises are true.

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.

I mix squalane or jojoba oil with licorice root extract. Occasionally licorice root extract and sweet almond oil for spot treatment on the very dry patches.
Licorice root extract is a natural corticosteroid. If you aren’t into mixing up your own remedy, Eucerin Redness Relief Night Cream has a synthetic derivative of licorice extract so it’s the closest OTC option.

The problem is, now that Democrats have regained Congress, they aren’t going to listen to the fed-up, moderate, center-right and left voices who are responsible for getting them elected.

They’re going to listen to the insane progressives who would’ve voted for a wet sock if it was blue and who want retribution for all those who elected Trump; The ones who still fall for every lie and psyop in the media, hook line and sinker.

This is why the Democrats couldn’t keep the White House after Biden, and this is why they’ll lose it again unless they literally change the law to ensure they keep it. Clock it, mark it down, whatever.

@MattWalshBlog Nothing he does is baffling or surprising. He’s breaking all his promises. At this point since nothing he does makes sense, I just surmise that he’s trying to get the antichrist to show up and fulfill one of Bebe’s wild renditions of the prophetic end times.

@JDVance How disturbing that it’s noteworthy when a politician makes an honest observation of what the rest of the country already knew.
I want to know who’s going to course correct and what they could even venture to do at this point. Our government is defunct.

I have been holding my tongue about something that happened during the Ohio gubernatorial race. I refused to speak while the election was underway because I did not want my words mistaken for an attempt to influence anyone’s vote.

But now that the election is over, I have something to say.

For nearly twenty years, my ministry has taken me among the homeless, the abused, the exploited, and the forgotten. I have sat with victims of sexual violence and witnessed the lifelong wounds of childhood trauma.

What Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign did to Amy Acton was among the most morally repulsive things I have witnessed in American politics.

They took a woman whose stepfather was indicted for raping her when she was twelve years old and featured her mother, from whom she had been estranged for nearly fifty years, in a political advertisement attacking her credibility.

The advertisement challenged Acton’s account of her childhood without mentioning the sexual abuse allegations or the circumstances of that estrangement. When people expressed their horror, the campaign defended it.

Imagine examining another person’s childhood suffering and fractured family relationships, then deciding those wounds might help win an election.

Anyone who has worked with survivors of childhood sexual abuse understands the painful realities of denial, betrayal, shame, and estrangement. A child growing into a successful adult does not erase what happened. Nor does a parent’s denial make that suffering disappear.

I find it equally disturbing that an elderly mother, whom Acton herself described as unwell, was brought into this spectacle. Whatever her own struggles or responsibility for the past, exploiting that fractured relationship was grotesque.

To everyone who defended this, consider the message you sent to survivors. To the young woman whose family refuses to believe her. To the man who has carried the shame of childhood abuse for forty years. To the frightened child who has yet to tell anyone.

What did you teach them about the value of their suffering?

I am a priest. I believe in repentance, forgiveness, and redemption. But none of those things requires me to pretend that deliberate cruelty is anything less than a grave moral failure.

Your political allegiance does not absolve you of moral responsibility. You do not get to set aside your conscience during an election and retrieve it afterward.

If your loyalty requires you to defend the exploitation of a childhood sexual abuse survivor, your loyalty has become an idol. And if your conscience cannot recognize the wrong here, examine what political tribalism has done to it.

This is not about Republicans or Democrats. We have a choice as a people: continue excusing cruelty from our preferred political camp, or summon the courage to condemn it wherever it appears.

Amy Acton deserved better. Every survivor who watched this unfold deserved better.

And God help us if we have reached the point where winning an election matters more than protecting the dignity of a wounded human being.

I really hated to weigh in yesterday and had to think on it a little bit.

I’m so against traditional ADHD medication that it’s hard to be objective at times. I just went through 8 years of buzzing, tapping, humming, mumbling, in-your-face, too much touching, crashing into people stuff and I’m happy to say we are kinda coming out of the woods at age 14. I started doing some thyroid health/microbiome work with my kiddo about 3 years ago (after a friend suggested it and I almost brushed it off…and he’s come a long way.

He’s still a lot-still only takes 1-step directives, but at least now he reports back to “hear the next thing.” He drinks keifer yogurt for his gut-nothing too crazy, and he supplements with a tiny bit of iodine and is doing a “kinda” diet that supports thyroid health. It’s hard to get him to eat for his health. We saw improvement in the first year. I started researching and found out the gut microbiome link was NOT bogus like I originally suspected and though the thyroid issue has never shown up on a blood test, it is still often still a factor in how his symptoms show up (when he’s more hyperthyroid, we get hyperactive/impulsive ADHD, and when he’s hypo, we get more inattentive, brain foggy ADHD).
I would encourage you to do some research on the serotonin/dopamine processing in the gut and how a healthy microbiome can help symptoms, as well as how thyroid fluctuations can make ADHD so much more unmanageable. I won’t give you my whole anti-med rant. It was a rough time, but we are seeing improvements without meds now but I can’t fault anyone who does meds. It’s a huge part of our lives managing his symptoms and I have 3 other kids that need me too.

@unkonfined It’s a combination, I’m resigned to it. On the day I fully commit to my content perhaps I’ll find a reason to fault the algorithm but for now it’s a me problem.

@MattWalshBlog So you’re saying you used AI to write this synopsis of AI?

[your mom… @magic_mid_wit]

@TRHLofficial Good, if even one of those kids is like hmmmmm, maybe I WOULD like to own my own stuff, you’ve done your job.

[your mom… @magic_mid_wit]

@elonmusk A few penchants are a few fall-backs.

[your mom… @magic_mid_wit]

@AngryCitizenxx Oooh, that’s a confirmation that it was necessary if I’ve ever heard one.

[your mom… @magic_mid_wit]

@TRHLofficial Omg, I can’t believe they’re this old! I guess it’s been 5 years I’ve been following you. This tracks but it’s still so strange.
