Don’t follow just to follow, be yourself & IF being yourself puts you with others being themselves too then you’re in good company. Never stop fighting for what you feel is right. Facts can be turned into truths by others. Trust YOUR gut not THEIR eyes. https://t.co/WzXzwaqTEq
Dave Ramsey explains why the government stopped making you pay your taxes by hand, and what would happen if it started again.
RAMSEY: “If we brought this back, there would be a revolution. People would burn Washington, DC, down.
“If the tax person from the IRS had to stand in the lobby of your company, and you got paid in cash, and you had to take your cash and hand it to the tax collector and count it out every time you got paid, people would realize how big a tick on your butt the government is, how big a parasite the government is.
“And they would, I’m telling you, there’d be pitchforks and torches.
“If you actually saw and physically had to take possession of the money and then give it back in cash to the government when you got paid, people’s faces would melt off.”
KAMEL: “Just the amount of $100 bills you’re just giving to the IRS for doing nothing. That hurts. It would be a Tea Party round two.”
RAMSEY: “So it was a really brilliant idea to do income tax withholding.”
KAMEL: “Just make it all behind the scenes.”
RAMSEY: “Brilliant psychological trick.”
VP Vance says Milton Friedman’s ideas conflict with Christian values.
Hogwash!
Milton’s book “Free to Choose” is all about respecting our God-given right to exercise free will. Socialists want to remove that right.

Florida, is rolling out AI-powered cameras on its garbage trucks to scan properties for code violations, unpermitted renovations, & other issues. After installing FLOCK cameras on poles, the city is now adding mobile surveillance from trash trucks to monitor homes and yards. 🤦🏻♂️🤡
The USMNT will be stuck at the World Cup until it adopts Germany's blueprint
In 2000 Germany finished last at the Euros and decided it was time overhaul the system. They built 390 regional training bases to make sure one was within 25 km of every kid in country. They hired 1,200 full-time coaches, invested €48 million per year and mandated that every pro club build a certified youth academy or lose its license
The cost to families was $0 and 14 years later, 21 of the 23 players who won the World Cup came directly from the system
I propose that the quickest solution to fix US Soccer is to take all the newly built Pickleball Courts and repurpose them into streetsoccer futsal courts. It will make us a true soccer nation and we will win the World Cup once this happens.
🚨#BREAKING: Police in Houston TX are asking the public's help to identify the mystery person who cut down 2 Flock cameras on Independence Day.

Landon Donovan says America is missing soccer talent because kids can’t afford to play.
“Only 2% of kids playing organized soccer in America came from households that made less than $50,000.”
“If you don’t make $50,000, your kid cannot play organized soccer.”
“Think about how many kids you’re missing out on in this country because they can’t afford to play the game.”
“There is zero chance I could have played club soccer.”
“My mom made $34,000 a year, single mom raising three kids.”
“She couldn’t pay $4,000 for me to play club. Are you kidding? She couldn’t pay $400.”
“That’s not a good system to create good players.”
The Strategic Petroleum Reserve was created to help OUR country during emergencies.
But Presidents use it to stabilize fuel prices… GLOBALLY, because oil is a global market.
If we use much more of it to mask the cost of wars, we risk collapsing the salt caverns that hold it.
🚨#BREAKING: Firefighters in Wisconsin are hailing 5 teenage boys as HEROES after they BUSTED DOWN A DOOR TO A BURNING HOME to save a 91-year-old elderly couple and their family on July 4th.
When firefighters arrived, they discovered the boys had already rescued ALL SIX PEOPLE inside the home.
According to investigators, the boys noticed what they thought was a bonfire from their home.
As they walked closer, they saw a home was on fire and started banging on the doors and windows and heard people yelling.
The group of boys BROKE DOWN THE DOOR, ran into the home, called out for the victims and rescued all them.
“We started calling out for people and asking if anybody was in there. And then we ended up getting quite a bit of responses. There ended up being five or six people in the house..."
"...you are kind of just feeling around, yelling, and then I heard a couple in the room on the left. So I went in there and got them out."
As the last person stepped out of the home, the flames intensified.
INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!
There is a giraffe loose in Texas Hill Country right now.
Her name is Gracie.
She escaped from a private ranch. That was almost two weeks ago.
She has not been caught.
Not because no one is trying. Local officials are trying. The rancher is trying. People are actively hunting a fourteen-foot animal that is, by definition, extremely easy to see.
They still haven't caught her.
Someone spotted her near a highway. By the time anyone arrived, she was gone. A giraffe. Disappeared. In Texas. Where there is nowhere to hide and nothing taller than her for miles.
I don't know how she's doing it.
I don't think anyone does.
At this point I'm less interested in them catching her and more interested in what she's planning next.
Run, Gracie.
@stephenjose77@VivekGRamaswamy Never trust a politician that wants to do things in steps. They will make sure to get credit for step 1 then never make the next steps because their supporters are happy they did that much.
