Stephen A. Smith says he was warned by his estate planners to leave California every weekend because the government would TRACK his phone calls, then uses that data to collect MORE taxes.

He thought they were kidding. Then he got his tax returns. They weren’t.

What’s happening here is the “jock tax” in effect, which is California’s way of collecting more money from entertainers and athletes based on days worked or spent in the state.

And here’s the disturbing part.

California’s tax collectors pull cell phone records to show where you were when you took your calls so they can prove you were still hanging out in Cali so they can hit you with another taxable day.

Smith got sick of Gavin Newsom taxing him to death and moved his ass out of California. He now lives in Florida.

SMITH: “I’m sitting down with my estate planners and all of that. And they said, ‘Look, when the weekend arrives, it would be in your best interest to go to Vegas or to Utah or something.’ I said, ‘Why?’ And they said, ‘Well, if you stay in California, you know, IRS, they ping your phone. So, anytime you get a call or you’re on the phone, they know that you’re in the state. And that counts as a tax day.’

“And I said, ‘You got to be kidding me.’ And sure enough, when I saw my tax returns, it was absolutely correct.”

This jock tax is not small money, either.

Shaquille O’Neal found that out the hard way. His first year with the Lakers, he signed for $20,000,000.

By the time taxes were done with it, his check came in at $10,900,000 for the year.

Then the jockey tax took another $4,000,000.

And Shaq walked away with about $7 million out of the 20. Two-thirds of his paycheck went to taxes.

🚨 JUST IN: Former Clarence Thomas clerk John Yoo GOES OFF after nearly every Democrat voted to pack the US Supreme Court for socialist gain

"They want to remove ALL the structures of the Constitution...why have an Electoral College? Why have 50 states? Why have 100 senators? Why have a SENATE?"

"If you read the Democratic socialist platform, they want to get rid of all of that and concentrate all power in one single House of Representatives that's selected every two years. That would actually DESTROY the genius of the founders, which was to place limits on democracy and have a House for two years, a Senate every six years, a president every four years, and a Supreme Court that's independent of the other two branches."

Vote in the midterms as if Trump is on the ballot, because technically he is!

The remaining 2 years of his presidency, future of the Republic, influx of communism, and the rise of Islam in America are what's at stake!

Choose wisely, and get out and vote in 64 days!

[Mike Engleman🇺🇲 @RealHickory]

The only way Democrats win the midterms is if Republican voters stay home. They show up and vote Democrats are toast!

Republicans have deliberately done plenty for that to possibly happen.

Hopefully, Republican voters understand the ramifications of staying home!

VOTE!

[NotKennyRogers @NotKennyRogers]

According to a new Rasmussen poll, Democrats currently have a 79% chance of winning the midterms.

That number drops to a negative 1,980% chance if you don't allow dead people and non-citizens to vote.

We should probably pass the Save America Act.

🚨 HOLY CRAP!! VA Gov. Abigail Spanberger just said the quiet part out loud: President Trump’s ban on noncitizens and illegals getting Medicaid — plus anti-fraud measures — may result in 300,000 THOUSAND people in Virginia losing Medicaid

🤯🤯

She’s admitting to what we knew all along!

PURGE THEM FROM THE ROLLS. This is long overdue.

I’ve seen people talking about ticks but no one is really talking about the disease Alpha Gal that is spreading like wild fire all throughout Appalachia.

I forgot to mention, you can’t have dairy products either.

This is the biggest health epidemic no one is talking about.

NEW: Golf legend Gary Player issues a stark warning to America’s youth, claiming a "silent war" is currently being waged against the U.S.:

"I say to the young people, just love this country because you don't realize what's going on around the world."

"There is a silent war taking place against America today, and what we've got to do is make these kids realize that freedom, exercise, and education start with reading some books."

"What you put in your body is so important. What a wonderful job [Trump] has done. And to all your Cabinet members, I say thank you for maintaining this great word—this cherished word: freedom."

Nikola Jokić is an absolute professional for keeping his composure while literally being poked by Julius Randle hard af on his stomach and back. What an absolute joke of the referees right now.

The mandatory flu shot requirement for our military that’s been in force for 72 YEARS has officially been TERMINATED.

This is likely because two studies confirm flu vaccines DO NOT work — and actually INCREASE your risk of flu (+27%) AND other infections (+340%).

🚨Double standard in the NBA exposed:🚨

Steve Kerr can accuse the Trump administration of "murder" and call out the government for lying — no problem.
Doc Rivers can rip the president and ICE as a "travesty" and a bad example for kids — totally fine.

But let a player like Jaden Ivey speak his Christian faith, call out Pride Month as celebrating unrighteousness, or question certain "religions" that don't lead to salvation in Christ... and the Chicago Bulls waive him for "conduct detrimental to the team."

One side gets a megaphone to attack the President daily.
The other gets fired for offending the wrong group.

The NBA (and Chicago Bulls) make it crystal clear: attacking conservatives and Christians is protected speech. Biblical truth is a career-ender.

I stand with Jaden Ivey.
Faith over fear. Truth over tolerance theater.

Who else sees the hypocrisy? 🔥 #StandWithIvey #NBAHypocrisy #ChristianAthlete

Just some facts. . .

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you America's Kings and Queens 👑

R: Chuck Grassley, 51 years
D: Ed Markey, 49 years
D: Ron Wyden, 45 years
D: Chuck Schumer, 45 years
R: Hal Rogers, 45 years
R: Chris Smith, 45 years
D: Steny Hoyer, 45 years
D: Dick Durbin, 43 years
D: Marcy Kaptur, 43 years
R: Mitch McConnell, 41 years
D: Nancy Pelosi, 39 years
D: Frank Pallone, ~37 years
D: Richard Neal, ~37 years
D: Rosa DeLauro, ~35 years
D: Maxine Waters, ~35 years

On the other hand,

R: Donald Trump, ~5 years as a politician and 50+ years in business.

In 2024, America elected Donald Trump to secure the border, deport those who are here illegally, strengthen our military, and reduce crime in our cities.

The people above have a combined 600 years of experience in fundraising, backroom deals, money laundering, dining with lobbyists, and insider trading, to name a few...

They all represent a very specific group of people; unfortunately, it's none of us on either side.

In fact, they have done everything in their power to take out President Trump and stop the agenda we elected him to complete!

If you listened to every one of them 20 years ago, they all stood for the exact opposite of what they are selling today.

Apparently, doing the right thing, whether you stay in power or not, runs out after you've had 12-15 years on the gravy train!

Congress was never meant to be a lifelong career. Yet today it's a nursing home for power-hungry narcissists who haven't represented the people who elected them for decades!

Now tell me again, who's the real threat to "democracy?"

While thousands are out protesting "No Kings" today, the real kings and queens have been ruling from Capitol Hill for decades. It's time to end these career politicians!

It's way past time for term limits!!!

We can and must do better than this! 🇺🇸

🚨 JUST IN: Stephen Miller lays it out PERFECTLY

Imagine a "native Minnesotan who works as a lineman...worried about his ability to support for and provide his family."

"And then imagine that he has a neighbor who's a SOMALI REFUGEE who arrived two years ago and has a Mercedes and NO financial stress and no worries at all in the entire world and never seems to ever go to work at all because he just went to an office in the state, lied on a piece of paper, and got unlimited free money forever for life!"

"THAT is the system that is being run and that is the corruption that this task force under the leadership of the Vice President is going to demolish." @StephenM

The @OhioPrepWriters handed out 826 boys basketball All-Ohio awards this year—more than 1 per school.

—In 2025, the first year with 7 divisions, it was 770.
—In 2024, the last year with 4 divisions, it was 590.
—In 2000, it was 363. LeBron James didn’t even make 1st Team All-Ohio that season as a freshman.

And why do you need Special Mention AND Honorable Mention?
