On DZMM: In a hung Senate, the Senate President’s biggest fear may actually be returning to session. So no session, then no problem. Because once the chamber convenes, he will have to confront the new reality that his hold on the gavel will not mean he still has control of the floor. And his fragile Majority may easily betray him! He knows how easy it is for some of the majority senators to feel that the political winds are blowing elsewhere and suddenly ride it. So the strategy to buy time is obvious but the consequences are dangerous. Every day the boycott continues is also a daily lesson to the public that a Senate that refuses to meet is a Senate that can be done without.

[Cleve V. Arguelles @CleveArguelles]

Our Senate is indeed under attack. It is under attack from the criminals within it. When its leadership harbors a fugitive from international justice and allows him to escape (and even put on a show that endangered people’s lives just to do so), that is our Senate under attack. When senators suddenly reorganize themselves into a new majority not out of principle but out of fear — fear of impeachment, fear of ongoing prosecution, fear that their own kickbacks and abuses may someday catch up with them — that is our Senate under attack. When public office becomes an instrument not of public service but of self-preservation, the institution rots from within. The greatest threat to the Senate today does not come from imagined invaders outside its walls. The real danger to it are the Senators themselves, its latest leadership and majority nothing more than a ‘coalition of the charged’ seeking to remake our legislature into a disgraced house of mass murderers, thieves, and their protectors.

Normalize a boring life. Go to bed early, read long books, drink tea, regulate your nervous system, spend time alone, take walks without headphones, eat simple food, shrink your circle, and turn down the noise. Peace will look boring to people addicted to chaos, but that’s the point. Life doesn’t have to be loud to be meaningful, and it doesn’t have to be public to be powerful. Sometimes the magic is in being unreachable, rested, focused, and quietly becoming someone nobody can disturb.

Whatever you do, do not let your parents transfer their house into your name.

Instead, do what the wealthy do.

If your parents are retiring and they tell you they want to sign the deed of the house over to you, maybe they bought the house for next to nothing back in the eighties and now it is worth $800,000, do not do it.

If they transfer it to you while they are alive, you will take their original tax basis. This means that when you eventually sell, you will have to pay capital gains tax on the entire increase in value since they bought it. The taxman does not care that it was a gift.

Here is what the wealthiest families do instead:

Step 1: Set up a revocable living trust and place the home inside it.

It keeps your parents in full control while they are alive, but sets up a smooth, private transfer later.

Step 2: Your parents should name you as the beneficiary of the trust. That way, when they pass away, the house automatically moves to you with no court involvement and no probate.

Step 3: When you inherit the house through the trust, you get a stepped-up basis. That means you only pay capital gains tax on any increase in value that occurs after they passed away, not on the huge appreciation since the 1980s.

That single move can save you over $120,000 in taxes.

That is how you pass inheritance to your children without losing a dollar to the system.

If you want to stop the government from taking a cut of your family’s hard-earned assets, follow these steps.

What is a teacher?
Someone who sees potential
before kids see it in themselves.
They notice the quiet kid.
The struggling kid.
The one everyone else gave up on…
and they don’t.
They build confidence
in a world where too many kids feel like they’re not enough.
They speak belief
when no one else does.
They care about other people’s kids
like they’re their own.
They’ve got their own stress,
their own life,
their own doubts…
and they still show up for kids.
Even on the days they’re tired.
Even on the days they don’t feel like it.
Because it matters.
Some of the most amazing humans on earth.
Difference makers.
That’s a teacher.

My biggest problem with parenting-as-aesthetic is it has no humility.

When we pretend we can curate our family journey and kids’ childhoods into vignettes, we forget that the most meaningful parts of raising kids can’t be chosen or styled. We don’t get to pick who our kids are or what they struggle with or if they get really, really sick or when they have a hard time. We can’t guard them from heartbreaks or accidents. We can curate their toys until the ugly loud plastic one makes them giggle incessantly. We can pick their outfits until they decide that one horrendous team jersey is the only thing they’ll wear for months (ask me how I know.) Sometimes you bake banana bread, barefoot in the kitchen, but then someone drops something and someone else hasn’t slept and there’s yelling and tears but the bread turns out ok.

As a parent you’ll realize you don’t wish for your life to be beautiful or whimsical or luxe, you’ll be grateful your kids are healthy, pray they make friends, be glad you can feed and house them and they’ll never know how lucky they are that it all seems effortless. You’ll cry that you can’t take away their unique struggles. It will go too fast, and you’ll be glad you have a million ugly photos of yourself holding because they were so so little.

You’ll realize your aspirations are simple: happy, healthy, yours.

Brice Hernandez already confessed about the crime but instead of helping to catch big fishes, it seems that Senate Blue Ribbon Committee is not doing its duty to build up the case thru his statement, to squeeze Henry Alcantara, If Henry sings the boxing is now over!

Mas mataas ang standards sa mga ordinaryong tax payer kaysa sa mga opisyal na nagnakaw ng milyong/bilyong buwis?

Nepal
The lifestyle of politicians' children is directly linked to corruption in that country.

From luxury cars to designer clothes and endless vacations - everything is paid for with taxpayers' money.

Anger can wait, but when it comes, it hits hard - just like in Nepal.

Nobody is trying to fix the problems we have in the world.

Everyone is just trying to make enough money so the problems don't apply to them anymore.

Poor people think theres only 1 kind of luck.
Rich people know there are 4:

1. Hustle luck - you take more shots
2. Skill luck - you see things others don't
3. Reputation luck - people bring it to you
4. Blind luck - it finds you

You are cause for 3 of 4. Work like it.
