I pray for Mitch McConnell. I really do hope he is in a good place, wherever that may be. But we have to move on. A brain dead senator obviously cannot perform his duties and we have urgent legislation pending while they take their summer vacations. This stall is totally the uni-party in action.

[Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer]

The cover up of Senator Mitch McConnell being brain dead is because the Senators want to Fuck Trump and not pass the Save America Act.

Mitch McConnell is brain dead and hooked up to machines!!! He is 84 years old and was found unconscious and needed to be resuscitated.

It’s being covered up so that we never get the Save America Act because the Never Trumpers want more trans kids and they want more illegals voting in our country!!!

Mitch McConnell fell in October of 2025 and could barely speak when he fell. Now we are supposed to believe that he’s calling people from his hospital room having elaborate conversations about philosophy and foreign policy?

Are you high on Hunter Biden’s crack?

This video is from last year. Does it look like Mitch McConnell can talk?

He is a vegetable.

PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT!

Don’t let our country die with Mitch McConnell!

If anyone doubts that Ben Franklin was a man of faith at the end of his life, read what he said at the close of the Constitutional Convention in 1787. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

“The manner in which the whole of this business had been conducted was such a miracle in human affairs, that if I had not been in the midst of it, and seen all the movements, I could not have comprehended how it was effected.  I had no doubt of our finally succeeding in this war by the blessing of God.  This is the greatest revolution the world has ever seen....I have lived a long time; and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men!  If it had not been for the justice of our cause, and the consequent interposition of Providence in which we had faith, we must have been ruined.  If I had ever before been an atheist, I should now have been convinced of the being and government of a Deity.  It is He who abases the proud and favors the humble!  May we never forget his goodness to us, and may our future conduct manifest our gratitude.” --Benjamin Franklin

America turns 250 today.

Let me read back the resume.

We started by telling a king to pound sand, in writing.

By 1803 we bought half a continent from France for about four cents an acre.

We fought a war with ourselves and somehow stayed one country.

We strung a railroad across the entire thing.

We handed the world the lightbulb, the telephone, and the airplane in about thirty years flat.

Then a man named Willis Carrier invented air conditioning and made half the planet actually livable.

You are welcome, Texas. You are welcome, Dubai.

Twice the whole world caught fire, and twice we showed up and helped put it out.

We split the atom.

We put men on the moon in 1969.

Then we went back and hit golf balls up there, because why not.

We invented jazz, blues, rock and roll, and hip-hop, and the whole planet is still dancing to it.

We put a burger and fries on every corner of the earth.

We built rockets that fly themselves home and land standing straight up.

We flew a helicopter on Mars.

We launched a car into actual space and it is still out there cruising.

We also invented ranch dressing and somehow talked the entire world into putting it on pizza.

Priorities.

We even invented three of our own sports so we could win them.

Baseball, basketball, and football.

Real football, the kind with hands, because we named it and we are not taking corrections.

The rest of the planet can keep soccer, which is fine, we are hosting it in our backyard this summer anyway.

And yes, Canadian football exists, wider field, extra man, one fewer down, and we try very hard not to think about it.

Frankly it was generous of us to invent our own games.

If we put all that energy into soccer, nobody else would ever lift that trophy again.

We would win it so often they would just rename it the America’s Cup and hand us the keys.

You are welcome for the suspense.

And in 2026 we threw a birthday so big a German tourist live-tweeted our gas stations to 750,000 people.

Not every chapter was clean.

We argued, we stumbled, we fixed what we broke, and we kept building.

That is the whole trick.

Two hundred and fifty years in, and we are still the loudest, brightest, most improbable experiment on the map.

Not bad for a country that started as a strongly worded letter to a king.

Happy birthday, America.

Happy 250th 4th of July to all those who know the bravery of our forefathers & their vision of the republic they were forming.

So many people are so incredibly lucky, and woefully ungrateful for generations of sacrifice made to preserve this perfect Union.

The Declaration of Independence and the grit, valor, and determination of those men who fought for liberty and achieved it against all odds, paved the way for the world’s most crucial and incredible document ever written, the Unites States Constitution.

In the 250 years since, thousands more brave men and women have given their lives to protect the liberties we still have today.

In all gratitude, I say God bless the USA.
A true beacon on the hill. An enduring symbol of hope for as long as we are willing to carry their banner wherever it may take us.

Old glory still waves over that rampart!

[Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree]

In September of 1814, America was once again in trouble.

The young republic was only thirty-eight years old. The War of 1812 had gone badly. British troops had marched into Washington, burned the Capitol, set the White House ablaze, and now turned their sights toward Baltimore. If Fort McHenry fell, the harbor would be open, the city would likely follow, and another devastating blow would be dealt to the fragile nation.

Amid this uncertainty, a young American lawyer named Francis Scott Key sailed under a flag of truce to the British fleet. He had come to negotiate the release of a friend, a physician the British had captured.

He succeeded.

The British agreed to free the doctor.

But there was a catch.

Because Key and his companions had seen too much of the British fleet and learned too much about its plans, they were not allowed to return to shore. Instead, they were detained aboard a ship in the harbor and forced to watch the coming battle from behind enemy lines.

On the morning of September 13, the bombardment began.

For the next twenty-five hours, British warships unleashed somewhere between 1,500 and 1,800 bombs and rockets upon Fort McHenry. These were the “bombs bursting in air” and the “rockets�� red glare” of the song—not poetic embellishments, but terrible realities.

Key stood on the deck through the endless day and the long, terrifying night. Every explosion lit the darkness for a fleeting instant before the smoke swallowed everything again. Somewhere beyond that wall of fire stood the fort. Somewhere beyond it flew an American flag if it still flew at all.

He could not see.

He could only listen.

As long as the guns continued firing, there was reason to hope. The British would not waste ammunition on a fort that had already surrendered.

Then, just before dawn…

The guns fell silent.

For the first time all night, there was only stillness.

It was the most frightening sound of all.

Had the fort finally fallen? Had the defenders surrendered? Had the flag been torn down in the darkness while no one could see?

There was nothing to do but wait.

As the first light of September 14 slowly pushed back the smoke, Francis Scott Key strained his eyes toward the distant fort.

Then he saw it. Not a British flag.

The American flag. Still there. Still flying.

That flag was no ordinary banner. Months earlier, the fort’s commander had commissioned a Baltimore flagmaker, Mary Pickersgill, to sew a flag so enormous “that the British would have no difficulty seeing it from a distance.” It measured roughly thirty by forty-two feet, carried fifteen stars and fifteen stripes, and was so large it had to be assembled on the floor of a brewery because no ordinary room could contain it.

That was the Star-Spangled Banner.

The very flag Key saw through the morning mist.

The very flag that still survives today in the Smithsonian.

Overcome by what he had witnessed, Key reached into his pocket, pulled out an envelope, and began writing. The words came from a heart that had spent an entire night fearing his country might disappear with the dawn.

He first titled the poem Defence of Fort M’Henry.

Within days it was printed and circulating throughout the country. Before long, people began singing it to a melody they already knew—an old British tune called “To Anacreon in Heaven,” originally written for a London social club. There is something beautifully ironic in that: America’s most beloved patriotic song borrowed the melody of the very nation it had just survived. It also explains why the anthem is so notoriously difficult to sing. It was never written for ordinary voices gathered in stadiums or school assemblies.

The song spread quickly and became one of America’s favorite patriotic hymns, but it would wait more than a century before receiving official recognition. Not until 1931 did Congress declare “The Star-Spangled Banner” the national anthem of the United States.

[Crazy Vibes @CrazyVibes_1]

On May 30, 1922, an elderly man in a dark coat stood at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial.

He was seventy-eight years old.

His hair was white.

His body was frail.

Two officers helped steady him as he prepared to climb the marble steps.

The monument behind him belonged to his father.

The weight he carried belonged to history.

His name was Robert Todd Lincoln, the last surviving son of Abraham Lincoln.

And that day, at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial, he made his final public appearance.

President Warren G. Harding led the ceremony. Thousands gathered to honor the man who had guided the nation through civil war and given his life before the healing could truly begin.

But many eyes turned toward Robert.

He was not only a guest.

He was a living bridge.

A man whose childhood had touched the Lincoln home in Springfield and whose old age now stood before a national shrine.

Robert was born in 1843. He studied at Harvard, became a lawyer, and lived much of his life under a name that no private person could ever fully escape.

Being Abraham Lincoln’s son brought honor.

It also brought sorrow.

On April 14, 1865, when John Wilkes Booth shot President Lincoln at Ford’s Theatre, Robert was in Washington. He rushed to the Petersen House and sat through the night near his dying father.

He watched the president become a martyr.

He watched his father become memory.

Years later, tragedy found him again.

In 1881, Robert was serving as Secretary of War when President James Garfield was shot at a Washington railroad station. Robert was there, close enough to rush toward the wounded president as panic spread around him.

Garfield lingered for weeks before dying.

Then, in 1901, Robert arrived in Buffalo as President William McKinley was shot at the Pan-American Exposition. He was nearby when the news broke. McKinley survived for several days, then died from infection.

Three presidents.

Three assassinations.

Robert had been present or nearby for all of them.

The coincidence haunted him.

He once remarked that there seemed to be a certain fatality about presidential occasions when he was present.

His life held another strange thread.

As a young man, he once slipped between a moving train and the platform at a station in New Jersey. A stranger grabbed him by the collar and pulled him to safety.

The man who saved him was Edwin Booth, one of the most famous actors of his time.

He was also the brother of John Wilkes Booth.

History seemed to circle Robert Lincoln in ways almost too strange to believe.

Yet he was more than a witness to sorrow.

He served on General Ulysses S. Grant’s staff near the end of the Civil War.

He became a respected attorney in Chicago.

As Secretary of War, he helped oversee the army during a period of change.

Later, as minister to Great Britain, he represented the United States abroad with steadiness and restraint.

In business, he led the Pullman Palace Car Company through difficult years and remained one of the most prominent figures of his generation.

Still, he preferred privacy.

Perhaps he had seen too much of what public life could cost.

By the time he stood at the Lincoln Memorial in 1922, Robert was the last living child of Abraham and Mary Lincoln. His brothers had all died long before. His mother was gone. The world of the Civil War had faded into textbooks, monuments, and old men’s memories.

He alone still carried the family line back to the house in Springfield.

To the White House during war.

To the room where his father died.

Four years later, in 1926, Robert Todd Lincoln died in Vermont, just before his eighty-third birthday.

He had lived a life of privilege, service, grief, and restraint.

He had never sought to become a symbol.

But history made him one anyway.

In the photograph from the memorial dedication, he looks tired but composed, leaning on those beside him as he climbs.

Behind him is the seated figure of Abraham Lincoln carved in stone.

In front of him is a nation still trying to understand what that life had meant.

Robert Todd Lincoln was the last living link to the president who held the Union together.

And until the end, he carried that link quietly.

[Mike Netter @nettermike]

In 1951, Rose Totino walked into a Minneapolis bank asking for $1,500 to build her frozen pizza empire. The manager said no.

He didn't just reject the application. He didn't know what she was selling. She called it "pizza." He had never heard the word. It was a regional food, mostly confined to East Coast Italian immigrant neighborhoods. In the Midwest, it was alien. Rose had a high school education and a recipe from her mother. The bank had strict lending rules for women. The answer was a flat denial.

Instead of leaving, she asked the manager if he had an oven at home. He did. She told him not to eat lunch the next day.

The next morning, she stood in the small kitchen she shared with her husband, Jim. They were barely scraping by. Rose spent the hours before dawn kneading dough, simmering tomatoes, and slicing cheese.

The raw pie went into a square box. She carried it back to the bank. Bypassing the tellers, she walked straight into the manager's office. She handed him the box and gave him baking instructions. He took it home.

At the time, the banking industry relied heavily on character loans, but character was defined by collateral and male guarantors. The commercial lending guidelines of the early 1950s made no provision for culinary demonstration. Women could rarely secure business capital without a husband's signature, let alone for a product the loan officer couldn't pronounce.

The manager baked it. He ate it.

He called her the next morning. He approved the $1,500.

They opened a takeout shop. It was so small they had to store fifty-pound bags of extra flour in the backseat of their family car. But the city had tasted it. Lines formed around the block. They paid off the loan. Then they bought a factory.

Rose realized that if she froze the dough, she could ship it across the country. Nobody had successfully mass-produced the item before. She figured out how to keep the crust from turning to cardboard. She patented the process.

They shipped them in refrigerated trucks. The food the bank manager couldn't pronounce was now in freezers from California to Maine. By 1970, Totino’s was the top-selling brand in the United States. Pillsbury bought the company in 1975 for nearly $20 million.

She didn't argue with the rejection. She just gave the manager baking instructions.

She became the first female vice president in Pillsbury’s history. She sat in boardrooms with men who had Ivy League degrees. She still tasted the test batches herself.

The original takeout shop closed years ago. The brand she started now sells hundreds of millions of units a year. The recipe has changed. The boxes look different. The freezer aisle in every grocery store in America is built on a $1,500 gamble by a man who didn't know what he was eating.

Rose Totino: the woman who taught America how to eat pizza.
One woman’s vision created a culinary shift in America

"For daring to speak the truth, I was ARRESTED by the FBI, thrown into a cell, branded a TERRORIST by my own government..."

Dr. Simone Gold spoke out about **hydroxychloroquine**, opposed the destructive lockdowns and mandates, and rejected the rushed COVID vaccines — and the Biden regime came after her like a political enemy.

Her teenage son (asleep in his bed in Los Angeles on Jan 6) was stalked by TSA agents and put on a watch list.
Her bank accounts were flagged.
Her reputation was destroyed.
She was sentenced by a system that **knew the accusations were false** but refused to correct them.

This wasn’t justice — it was **selective persecution and the legalization of American fascism.**

They didn’t just silence a doctor. They terrorized her entire family to scare every other truth-telling physician into submission.

This is what they did to one brave doctor who put patients first.

Never forget what they’re capable of when you challenge their narrative.

[hunter @hxxntrr]

You owe the IRS $100,000

They'll take $5,000 and close your file. Permanently. Balance goes to $0

It's called an Offer in Compromise. Form 656. The IRS approved 42% of them last year. Application fee: $205

Here's the exact formula they use to decide your number and how to reverse-engineer the lowest possible offer

The IRS doesn't want to chase you for 10 years. Collection employs 78,000 people. Each agent costs the agency $89,000/year in salary and overhead. Liens require court filings. Levies require processing. Garnishments require administration. They'd rather take your $5,000 check today than spend $120,000 in administrative costs over a decade trying to squeeze $100,000 out of someone who will never have it

They literally built a math formula to calculate the minimum they'll accept. Here it is:

RCP = (monthly disposable income x remaining collection months) + (net realizable equity in assets)

Monthly disposable income: your gross monthly income minus IRS-allowed living expenses. They don't use YOUR actual expenses. They use standardized tables published at the irs website standards. These tables set exact allowances by county for housing, food, transportation, healthcare, and out-of-pocket expenses

If you earn $4,200/month and the IRS allowable expense table for your county totals $3,900, your disposable income is $300/month. If you earn $3,800/month and the table allows $3,900, your disposable income is negative and the IRS considers it $0

Remaining collection months: for a lump sum offer (paid in 5 months or less), multiply disposable income by 12. For a periodic payment offer (paid over 6-24 months), multiply by 24. The lump sum multiplier is lower, which means a lump sum offer will always be cheaper than a payment plan offer. Always choose lump sum if you can

Net realizable equity in assets: bank accounts, investments, vehicles, real property. BUT they subtract allowances. Your primary car: exempt up to the IRS local standard (roughly $6,000-$10,000 in equity depending on area). Household furnishings: fully exempt. Retirement accounts: partially exempt and heavily discounted (the IRS applies a "quick sale value" of 60-80% of actual value because they know selling retirement accounts triggers penalties)

Real calculation:

Income: $4,200/month
IRS allowed expenses: $3,900/month
Disposable income: $300/month

Lump sum multiplier: 12 months
$300 x 12 = $3,600

Assets:
Bank account: $2,100
Car equity: $4,800 (below IRS exemption, counts as $0)
401k: $18,000 (quick sale value at 60% = $10,800, minus 10% early withdrawal penalty = $9,720, minus taxes at 22% = $7,582)
Household goods: exempt

But here's the part most people don't know: you can CHOOSE to exclude retirement accounts from the RCP calculation by checking a specific box on Form 433-A (OIC). The IRS has an internal policy (IRM 5.8.5.24) that allows exclusion of retirement assets for taxpayers under age 65 if liquidating those assets would cause economic hardship. Your tax preparer should know this. Most don't

Revised RCP without retirement: $3,600 + $2,100 = $5,700

Your offer: $5,700 on $100,000 in tax debt. 5.7 cents on the dollar

The nuclear part:

While the OIC is being reviewed (6-24 months), ALL collection activity legally stops. No levies. No new liens. No wage garnishment. The IRS cannot collect a single dollar from you while your offer is pending. This is codified in IRC Section 6331(k)(1)

And if the IRS fails to make a determination within 24 months of receiving your application, your offer is AUTOMATICALLY ACCEPTED. Two years of silence = you win by default. IRC Section 7122(f). They built an auto-accept clause into the law that most taxpayers never invoke because most taxpayers never file an OIC

The forms you need:

Form 433-A (OIC): complete financial disclosure for individuals. Every bank account, every asset, every income source, every expense. 8 pages. Fill it out accurately because they cross-reference against IRS records, DMV records, and financial institution reports. Lying on this form is a federal crime under 18 U.S.C. 1001

Form 656: the actual offer. Your amount, your payment terms, your signature

$205 application fee (waived if income is below 250% of federal poverty level, which is $38,100 for a single person in 2026)

Initial payment with the application: 20% of your offer for lump sum. On a $5,700 offer that's $1,140

A woman owed $213,000 across 4 tax years (2019-2022). Hadn't filed 2020 or 2021. Hadn't paid any of them. Receiving CP504 notices (intent to levy) every month. We filed the delinquent returns first (required before OIC submission), then calculated her RCP at $8,400. Submitted OIC with $1,680 initial payment

IRS accepted 9 months later. $213,000 settled for $8,400. 3.9 cents on the dollar

She went from getting levy notices every month to a $0 IRS balance. Then we fixed her credit (the tax lien had destroyed it). Then we stacked $120K in 0% business funding. She opened a cleaning company 4 months later. The same IRS that was garnishing her wages is now processing her quarterly estimated tax payments from a profitable business

the IRS is the scariest creditor in America. they can garnish without a court order. seize your bank account with 30 days notice. lien every asset you own. but they also built a form where they calculate the minimum they'll accept using a formula you can reverse-engineer, and if they don't respond in 2 years your offer is automatically approved. the math is public. the formula is published. the form costs $205. the difference between paying $100K and paying $5K is knowing it exists lol

(we fix credit and build capital stacks. if you owe back taxes, handle that first. then we get you funded. link in bio)

Los Angeles City Controller Kenneth Mejia says he asked for a budget increase to do more audits to stop the massive fraud taking place

He says in response LA Democrats have cut his budget over 3 years and reduced his staff

He says they did this because they don’t want transparency, “Over the past 3 to 4 years, accountants and auditors have been slashed at the City of LA. If you ask me honestly, does City Hall care about transparency and accountability? I'd say no”

One report I found said 27 positions stripped from the Controller’s office

They handle 800 claims and complaints of fraud and abuse per year but can’t investigate all due to understaffing

They only have about 8 performance auditors limiting them to just 2–3 performance audits per year despite 40+ departments and hundreds of programs

Democrats are laundering money and making sure auditors can’t catch it

They only have 5 investigators for waste fraud and abuse despite being America’s second largest city
