I will save the American auto industry by importing tariff free cheap cars & trucks to take the pressure off our auto manufactures🤦♂️
Same as bringing in cheap tariff free beef to save the consumer & cattle industry
Them: you can’t tax unrealized gains. It’s not real money until it’s sold.
Me: then explain my property tax bill.
Them: that’s different.
Me: I didn’t sell my house.
I didn’t cash out.
I didn’t see a single dollar of that increase.
Yet I’m paying $3,200 more this year because of a number someone assigned to my house on paper.
Them: …
Me: funny how unrealized gains are only untouchable when it’s a billionaire’s stock portfolio.
The second it’s a homeowner’s front door, suddenly the paper number is very real and very taxable.
Many people think that once the Boomers die off younger generations will benefit from inheritance. Unfortunately a huge portion of that accumulated wealth will already be gone. Cruises, reverse mortgages, and end of life care will all drain assets. We will be at square one.

DID YOU KNOW Joni Ernst is trying to slip an act into the Senate Farm Bill that would negate EVERY SINGLE STATE LAW for food safety, local ag, and livestock welfare? Well now you do.
And we have to stop her.
Dear Laura Conover (@PimaCountyAtty),
My name is Brendan Jones, and this is Lucy. Ten years ago, Lucy saved my life during the war against ISIS. In return, I brought her home with me. While you may not be familiar with her story, millions of people around the world are.
We are writing to you today out of deep concern for a case in Pima County involving a family dog named Snuggles. Snuggles, an Anatolian Shepherd, has been placed on a court-ordered euthanasia list following an incident in which he bit a family member. At the time, the dog was agitated and acting to defend his home and family during a coyote incursion on the property. The entire family, including the individual who was bitten, is devastated by the possibility of losing him.
Snuggles is a large working breed traditionally used as a livestock guardian. At the time of the incident, he was an intact male who had not yet reached the appropriate age for neutering. I have personal experience with this breed, having used Anatolian Shepherds to protect my own flocks of sheep. It is well established that neutering intact males of this breed often produces a noticeable and positive change in temperament, reducing reactivity and certain aggressive behaviors.
Snuggles has now reached an age where neutering is both appropriate and recommended. I am confident that, once neutered, any concerns about future aggression would be substantially alleviated.
Before we consider raising additional public awareness about this case, we wanted to bring it directly to your attention in the hope that a reasonable resolution can be reached quietly and without unnecessary scrutiny. We respectfully ask that you personally review the matter. We believe common sense and compassion can still prevail here.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Very respectfully,
Brendan Jones and Lucy, “America’s Dog”

This video broke me.
Snuggles’ family showed up at the shelter with birthday cake from one of Snuggles’ dog brothers party, hoping Snuggles could at least celebrate from afar after almost 8 MONTHS locked away from everyone he loves.
In this video you will see:
• his mom
• his two young boys
• and even the children’s grandmother, who was the bite victim and is STILL fighting to save him
You can hear the pain in Snuggles’ mom’s voice. The tears. The heartbreak. A mother desperately trying to find out how her dog is doing after nearly 8 months of separation while her children stand beside her missing their best friend.
They were not allowed to see Snuggles.
They were not given updates on his health or condition.
Imagine being separated from your dog for almost 8 MONTHS with no hugs, no cuddles, no visits, no reassurance, and no idea how he’s doing.
This family is heartbroken, and two little boys are missing their protector and best friend.
Please watch. Please share. Please help us fight for Snuggles.

Watching Amazon Prime while the Iranians burn.
Stuffing our mouths with cheesysugarbacon
while the sky turns black over Tehran.
Laughing without smiling.
Laughing with full mouths and empty eyes
while their water mixes with oil and blood.
"Hoho this will hurt Trump in the midterms"
the liberal chortles,
masturbating furiously
while ruined parents pull ruined schoolbags
out of ruined schools.
Frolicking on lawns with hamburgers in both fists
doing patchouli tai chi
in clothes made by slaves
as black rain waters gardens
of severed limbs and blown-out eyeballs.
This is our culture.
This is our religion.
Praying to Pornhub while children scream,
telling ourselves it will all be worth it
when Iranian women can do OnlyFans
to pay for boob jobs and butt lifts
and go to Capitalist Heaven when they die.
Jizzing Taco Bells and bail bonds firms
all over the global south,
our bellies full of the flesh of children,
our veins full of plastic
and our mouths full of Lexapro,
dancing at the ballroom covered in blood and brains,
gyrating to AI-generated music
cranked up to maximum volume
to hide the sounds of the explosions
and the gasps of our dying souls.
Oh I'm sorry,
am I bumming you out?
Have a hamburger and a Xanax.
Everything's fine.
This is all normal.
Let's pick the bits of skull and teeth from our hair
and go party.
I am the Senior Director of Congressional Replacement at AIPAC.
That's not my official title. My official title is something with "government affairs" in it. But "Congressional Replacement" is what I do. When a member of Congress votes wrong on our line item, I build the operation that removes them. I have a budget. I have a timeline. I have a vendor stack. And I have a record you can verify: Jamaal Bowman, New York, removed 2024, cost $14.5 million. Cori Bush, Missouri, removed 2024, cost $8.5 million. Thomas Massie, Kentucky, removal scheduled May 20th 2026, budget $25.6 million.
That's the most expensive House primary in American history. I consider it a bargain. Let me show you why.
**I. The Vocabulary**
The donors need Massie removed because he voted against our foreign aid appropriation. He was the sole Republican to oppose the Iron Dome Supplemental in 2021. The sole member of Congress, not sole Republican, sole member, to oppose a resolution affirming Israel's right to exist in 2023. He has voted against every foreign aid package for thirteen years.
But you can't run ads in rural Kentucky that say "your congressman voted against sending your tax dollars to a foreign government and we'd like to correct that." Kentucky would elect him twice.
So we needed a different word. The word is "disloyal."
In 2014, voting against every spending bill was called fiscal conservatism. In 2019, it was called the Tea Party mandate. In 2026, it is called disloyalty to the President of the United States.
I didn't change the votes. I changed the vocabulary. The President was happy to co-sign. He called Massie "the Worst Republican Congressman in History." He called him a "bum." He said "vote him out." We coordinated the timing. I wouldn't call it a product launch. But I wouldn't object if you did.
**II. The Money**
Here is how the budget breaks down. United Democracy Project, our super PAC, contributes $2.6 million. The Republican Jewish Coalition adds $4 million. MAGA KY, a PAC managed by Tim Murtaugh, Trump's 2020 communications director, spends $5.6 million. Christians United for Israel buys the billboards. The individual donors, Paul Singer, Miriam Adelson, John Paulson, route contributions through a platform called Democracy Engine.
I need to explain Democracy Engine, because it's my favorite part of the operation.
Democracy Engine is a multi-party donor aggregation platform. What it aggregates, specifically, is attribution. A contribution enters Democracy Engine from a hedge fund manager in Manhattan. It exits Democracy Engine as a line item on a campaign finance report in Covington, Kentucky. The money doesn't change. The origin story does.
Paul Singer manages $69.7 billion from a tower on 57th Street in New York. Miriam Adelson's net worth was built in Las Vegas casinos. John Paulson's office is on Park Avenue. Between them, they have never cast a ballot in Kentucky's 4th congressional district. They cannot name the county seats. They do not need to. Democracy Engine translates their preferences into Kentucky's.
The candidate himself, Ed Gallrein, retired Navy SEAL, Trump-endorsed, raised $1.3 million on his own. That's nine percent of the total pro-Gallrein spend of $14.3 million. Ninety-one percent of the money behind the "Kentucky values" candidate was contributed by people who do not live in Kentucky, have never lived in Kentucky, and whose primary policy interest is the foreign aid budget of a country eight thousand miles from Covington.
I present this as a design feature, not a flaw. Why would you want a candidate who raises his own money? Self-funding indicates self-thinking. Self-thinking introduces variance. Variance is risk. We don't invest in risk. We invest in compliance.
**III. The Product**
Gallrein has no voting record. No legislative history. No published policy positions that could be held against him in a future cycle. His campaign website lists the words "conservative," "freedom," and "Kentucky" in that order. His policy page is a photograph of him in uniform.
I don't say this as criticism. I say this as a specification sheet.
The ideal replacement congressman in 2026 is a résumé with a compliance guarantee. Pre-tested messaging. Zero ideological fingerprints. $14.3 million in someone else's convictions loaded like firmware. You don't need positions when your donors have positions. You don't need a record when your record starts the day you take the oath. He will arrive in Washington owing his career to three billionaires and four organizations. He will know exactly which line item pays his mortgage.
The median household income in Kentucky's 4th district is $63,000. Paul Singer's net worth is $6.7 billion. That is 106,349 Kentucky households. One man, in one Manhattan office tower, earning the combined annual income of every family in the district he is about to staff. I don't find this ironic. I find it efficient.
**IV. The Threat**
Now here is the part I don't discuss publicly, and the reason the budget is $25.6 million instead of $14.5 million.
Bowman and Bush were expensive. But they were Democrats. The base case. Massie is more expensive because Massie is more dangerous. Not because he has more support. Because of what he introduced in the House.
The AIPAC Act. Formally: the Americans Insist on Political Agent Clarity Act. It would amend the Foreign Agents Registration Act. FARA. The 1938 law Congress passed to counter Nazi propaganda operations. Massie's bill would require organizations that primarily advance the interests of a foreign government to register as foreign agents.
He means us.
If AIPAC were required to register under FARA, every dollar of our $25.6 million operation would require public disclosure of its foreign-interest origin. Every donor. Every routing. Every Democracy Engine transaction. Every call to every member's office. All of it, in a searchable federal database, labeled: foreign agent.
The bill will not pass. Massie won't be in Congress to reintroduce it. That's not a prediction. That's a line item on the budget.
We are not spending $25.6 million to replace a congressman. We are spending $25.6 million to eliminate a regulatory threat. The seat is a byproduct. The product is the precedent.
**V. The Precedent**
This is the part I present to donors as return on investment.
There are 435 members of the House. Every one of them is watching Kentucky. Every one of them can see the math. Massie voted wrong on one appropriations line item, and a coalition spent $25.6 million, more than any House primary in American history, to end his career. The message is not complicated.
You do not need to spend $25.6 million on every district. You need one example. One member, destroyed publicly, expensively, and completely. The other 434 learn. The cost per compliant vote, amortized across the full Congress, is $58,850.
I consider that competitive.
Bowman was the proof of concept. Bush was the replication. Massie is the expansion into the opposing party. Left, right. The mechanism doesn't care. The mechanism has a budget line, not a party. If you vote wrong, the budget finds you. If you try to make the budget visible, the budget finds you faster.
The primary is Tuesday. The polls show 48 to 43. If we win, we will have demonstrated that no member of Congress, regardless of party, ideology, seniority, or constituent support, can survive voting against our appropriation. Not a progressive in the Bronx. Not a libertarian in Kentucky. Nobody.
And when someone asks how a congressman elected by 478,000 Kentucky voters was removed by three billionaires from New York, Las Vegas, and Manhattan, the answer will be the same word we've been using since the beginning.
Loyalty.
We don't need to register as foreign agents. We register as loyal Americans. The distinction is $25.6 million and a vendor platform that makes one look like the other.
Everything I just described is legal. I need you to understand that. Not "technically legal." Not "arguably legal." Legal. Fully, completely, structurally legal.
That's the product. Not the congressman. Not the seat. Not even the vote.
The product is a system where everything I just described is legal.
And you just read the whole thing.
It has now been one month since Lucy's collar slipped over her head. One month since she was loose in my yard for a few seconds. One month since nobody got hurt. One month since nothing happened.
It has also been one month since the police were called. One month since animal control issued me a court summons. One month since they took my dog, the dog I bonded with in war ten years ago. One month since my world turned into a living hell.
It has been one month since nothing happened. And it has been one month since everything happened, in response to nothing.
She has spent one month in jail. Over nothing. Away from everything. One month away from her fields. Away from Lex. Away from the kids. Away from @Herb_Minstrel and me.
Let her come home. It's been long enough. It's time. It's damn time.

You don’t need to be into metal to get chills from this 🖤
Nothing Else Matters stripped down to raw emotion on piano by Margarita Sipatova.
Still gives me goosebumps every time.
The DOJ has ONE WEEK left to charge Anthony Fauci for the worst cover-up in modern medical history.
He lied to Congress about funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Millions died. Trillions were spent. And Fauci walked away with book deals and fawning media coverage instead of handcuffs. I re-upped my criminal referral to the DOJ because the evidence is overwhelming, and justice has been delayed long enough.
RT if you’re ready to see Fauci behind bars.
This woman shares a vulnerable experience she had at a Costco parking lot. 💔
I waited for this man to load his truck. We chatted, and with the biggest smile, he told me he has terminal lung cancer — less than a month left. His wife just passed. No family here.
I asked if I could hug him… we hugged for two full minutes in the parking lot. He said: ‘Every day won’t always be a good day, but it’s never a bad life.’
Be patient. Talk to strangers. You never know what someone’s carrying. Cherish this life. 🥹
LOCAL MAN DISCOVERS HE IS SECRETLY A REAL ESTATE MOGUL AFTER COUNTY INVENTS $186,000 FOR HIM
MIDLAND, TX — In a stunning financial revelation this week, a local homeowner learned he has apparently made a massive profit without selling anything, receiving any money, or otherwise participating in reality.
“I had no idea I was doing this well,” the man said, reviewing a notice informing him his modest home—purchased for $60,000 in 2009—is now worth $246,000, according to a highly sophisticated system known as “a guy with a clipboard and vibes.”
Despite never listing the property, fielding offers, or seeing so much as a nickel of this newfound wealth, the homeowner confirmed he is now expected to pay taxes as if he recently closed a blockbuster deal.
“I checked my bank account just to be sure,” he said. “Nothing. No mysterious deposit. No wire transfer. Not even a congratulations email. But apparently I’m crushing it.”
County officials reassured residents that the system is working exactly as intended.
“You’re not being taxed on money you have,” one official explained patiently. “You’re being taxed on money you could hypothetically have in an alternate universe where you sold your house but didn’t need a place to live afterward.”
Experts clarified that this differs significantly from other forms of taxation, where individuals are typically taxed on actual income or realized gains.
“For example, if your stock portfolio doubles, you don’t owe taxes until you sell,” said one analyst. “But your home is different because… well… it just is. Please stop asking questions.”
Local residents have reportedly begun experimenting with applying the same logic elsewhere.
“If my neighbor can assign value to my house and bill me for it,” the homeowner said, “I’m assigning value to my free time. I’ve determined the county now owes me $500,000 annually for emotional distress and inconvenience.”
At press time, officials were exploring ways to increase property values even further, noting that if numbers can be written down once, they can absolutely be written down again—higher.
Meanwhile, the homeowner confirmed he is considering selling the property just to finally meet the rich guy everyone keeps telling him he is.
Hypothetically…….. We are being taxed on money we never made.
Let that sink in.
If I bought my property outright for $160,000 in 2009
Now the county says it’s worth $446,000.
Did I sell it? No.
Did I make a profit? No.
Did I get a check for $446,000? No.
But my taxes jumped like I did.
That’s the problem.
This isn’t income.
This isn’t cash.
This is a number someone decided on paper and now I’m being billed for it.
If my stock portfolio doubles, I don’t pay taxes until I sell.
If my income doesn’t increase, I don’t magically owe more income tax.
So why does owning a home work differently?
Why am I being taxed on unrealized gains?
A house isn’t just an investment, it’s where people live. And this system means you can do everything right, pay off your home, and still get squeezed harder every year because of a number you never turned into money.
You don’t truly own something if you can be taxed out of it.
This isn’t about “services” or “inflation.” It’s about being charged for value you never received.
It’s time people start to notice.
Ridglan Farms Beagle Abuse Scandal: Fauci’s NIH Funded the Horror — RFK Jr., please Shut It Down! 🐶
Hundreds of beagles at Ridglan Farms in Wisconsin have endured years of documented abuse: filthy conditions, surgeries without anesthesia, devocalization, and violations piling up for over a decade. This puppy mill breeds thousands of dogs sold straight into taxpayer-funded lab torture.
Dr. Fauci’s NIAID poured millions into beagle experiments — including painful tick-bite tests, sandfly infestations, and worse — with many dogs sourced directly from facilities like Ridglan. BeagleGate exposed the cruelty, but the pipeline never fully stopped.
NIH grants are still flowing to labs buying Ridglan beagles for maximum-pain experiments with no pain relief.
RFK Jr. — as HHS Secretary, you know this is wrong. You’ve fought animal testing for decades. Cut the funding. Investigate every grant. Rescue these dogs and end the federal subsidy for this barbaric abuse once and for all.
No more torturing beagles with our tax dollars. @RobertKennedyJr@POTUS@JDVance@HarmeetKDhillon PLEASE HELP‼️
