If there's one thing I learned, it's that nobody is here forever. You have to live for the moment, each and every day . .

Using Claude Pro credits no longer works on OpenClaw!

Many heavy OpenClaw users were signing up for Claude Code subscriptions and then using their OAuth tokens to power the virtual assistant. But what was once a gray area is now an explicit violation of Anthropic policy.

Users can no longer use their tokens in a third party tool as a work-around for not having to pay per use!

What happens now? Will everyone start shifting to the cheaper Chinese models like Kimi?

$1 TRILLION in taxpayer money is lost to fraud every year.

That’s $115 million an hour.

And where is the rampant fraud money going? To terrorism and child trafficking

This is madness and it must end

My wife and I are seeding 25M kids with $250 each, and the government is giving newborns $1,000. 🇺🇸🚀

To claim your child's "Future Wealth" starter pack, you must file IRS Form 4547.

🚨 Tarrant County Taxpayers — Take Action! 🚨

Tarrant County College is planning to raise property taxes by $7.22 for every $100,000 in appraised value — to bring in an additional $5 MILLION on top of their already massive $327+ MILLION budget.

This is reckless spending and it’s time for taxpayers to speak up.

ELON: INFLATION HAPPENS WHEN YOU PRINT MORE MONEY THAN YOU PRODUCE VALUE

Elon broke down inflation in the simplest possible terms, arguing that it’s not mysterious, it’s math.

When governments print more money than the economy produces in goods and services, prices go up.

The only real cure, he said, isn’t regulation or rhetoric, but productivity:

“Inflation is gonna happen no matter what.

If you increase the money supply, you get inflation.

There’s no magical cure for getting rid of inflation except to increase the productivity, the output of goods and services.

If you add money to the system faster than you increase goods and services, then you have inflation.

All of these COVID stimulus bills were not paid for, they just generated more currency.
The federal government can simply issue more money.”

Just over half of all government spending in August was financed with borrowed money - not good!

$689 billion spent

$344 billion revenue
$345 billion borrowed

We have a spending problem.

[Mayor Mattie Parker @MayorMattie]

When you take an oath of office, you have a responsibility to encourage civility, kindness, and decency. As elected officials and community leaders, we are held to the highest standard, and we owe it to the people we represent to always be above board. Yesterday we saw the worst example of this by one of my fellow Council Members, essentially condoning violence because of someone's political views. It is very clear that the killing of Charlie Kirk was a political assassination, and there is no justification for evil.

I have been heartened by the leadership we saw across the country, from leaders of every political view who all understand their role. Utah Governor Cox said yesterday that if anyone celebrated the news of Kirk’s shooting, “I would beg you to look in the mirror and to see if you can find a better angel in there somewhere.” May we all find our better angels.

That all white people have a “virus in their brain” is legitimately one of the most racist things I’ve ever heard.

🚨J-Cal on the Broken American Dream: “Boomers have absolutely f*cked these couple of generations.”

“If you look at the cost of homes, the cost of education, the big problem in the US is wages have not grown except for people who have a lot of money already.”

“If you wanted to start a family and you're in $100K in debt for your student loans, and homes have doubled, tripled, quadrupled in price when compared to your income, and we don't have real wage growth, that's an issue.”

“And I think this will become the issue of the next election. We see Mamdani and the socialist movement.”

“If you really want to make a compelling argument for the next election cycle, I think it's real wage growth.”

“And if you look at minimum wage and this disparity between what top earners make and where minimum wage is in the United States versus other developed countries, there is a real argument here, even though we might all be free market individuals.”

“This came out of New York this week. Slow gains in jobs in NYC for the first half of 2025. This is New York City. We clearly have some issues with jobs here, and young people are clearly having a problem.”

“We're talking here about the American dream.”

“Is it broken for these next generations? Low wages, high debt, no ability to buy a home.”

[@jason @Jason]

The 47th administration has made bold moves in their first six months & they will own them in the next 12.

Markets are at an ATHs, inflation is back and jobs data is shaky -- they have their work cut out for them!

We should all be rooting for them, because the folks at risk are not the rich -- it's the bottom 50% of the country, who are most vulnerable!

Small family farms like Steve Jarvis’ in Idaho prove that regenerative agriculture delivers—producing abundant, nutrient-dense food while restoring our soil, revitalizing the land, and strengthening communities for generations to come.
