Trump says Democrats forgot to rig the election in 2016, successfully rigged it while *he* was president in 2020, then forgot how to rig it again in 2024. So the only election Democrats supposedly stole was the one he himself controlled.
You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe this bullshit.
Say you invested $100K in the S&P 500 many years ago. It grew to $1M.
If you sell, the IRS will get ~15-23.8% on $900k growth, plus state taxes.
But if you die holding, your kids can inherit at $1M basis due to basis step-up.
If they sell it, the IRS will get $0
Good to know
Italian PM Giorgia Meloni responds to Trump:
"President Trump, these constant, unprovoked attacks are senseless. As for my popularity, being your friend certainly has not helped it, nor does it depend on my relationship with you.
My popularity depends on my ability to defend Italy's national interest, and that is exactly what I have always done. That is also what I did regarding the American military bases in Italy. Their use is governed by agreements that we have always respected, and that cannot be violated as long as I am Prime Minister.
Italy remains a sovereign nation. In any case, my popularity is none of your concern. I suggest you focus on yours
Reagan is rolling over in his grave. Iran’s nuclear ambitions were not curbed, and they have learned that threatening the Strait of Hormuz works and will undoubtedly leverage it in the future. Now, Iran gets to build brand-new infrastructure under this deal.
Before the war, the strait was open, Iran was being crushed by sanctions, and 13 service members were still alive. Now, 13 Americans are dead, families have paid billions at the pump, sanctions will be lifted, and the bombing has stopped. This is the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.
🇺🇦🇺🇸 Reuters: The U.S. has started using Ukrainian counter-drone tech at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia after repeated Iranian drone attacks damaged aircraft and infrastructure.
Ukrainian teams are training U.S. forces on a system called Sky Map, which detects and helps intercept drones.
Wouldn't be better if political leaders who profess their faith set an example by actually OBSERVING the Ten Commandents rather than commanding schools to post them?!
I don’t know the pressure of playing the back nine on Sunday at the Masters, but I do know the pressure of standing on the 18th tee needing a 6 to break 100 while playing a decaying range ball because I chunked two Titleists in a pond at 17.
I assume it’s more or less the same.

University of Wisconsin-Stout comes out of nowhere and offers Wisconsin Guard transfer, John Blackwell a “Can’t refuse” NIL package. The deal includes $600 and a $25 Pizza Hut gift card.
We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.
AL McGUIRE and his Marquette Warriors win it all, this day in 1977. Dick Enberg, Curt Gowdy, and Billy Packer on the call for NBC Sports. The last independent to win the championship. Took a small, downtown school in Milwaukee, WI and made them a powerhouse...and champions!
The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus.
