“We can’t tax rich people on unrealized stock gains because they haven’t actually made the money until they sell.”
Okay.
Then why does my property tax bill keep rising when my house increases in value?
I didn’t sell it.
I didn’t cash out.
I didn’t put that appreciation in my bank account.
But I’m still paying more every year because the house is supposedly worth more on paper.
Funny how “unrealized gains aren’t real money” gets complicated depending on whose gains we’re talking about.
WOW 🚨 JD Vance says they found a Medicaid agent who had over 40 brokers working for them that enrolled over 50,000 people into taxpayer funded Obamacare
JD Vance confirms the majority of those enrolled were FAKE
Taxpayers are being robbed blind
@KirkLubimov Would be nice if we had open sourced permit software that allowed the public to see where these applications are sitting within the bureaucracy framework we have built to review them. It’s possible now with AI
I grew up in a Muslim household.
I speak Arabic.
I understand the deen.
I will never denounce Islam.
But Muslims in America need to wake up.
This is not Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, or whatever Muslim-majority country you or your parents came from.
This is the United States of America.
A country built by a Christian people, under English common law, with Christian based forming documents that still protects your right to pray...
And everyone else’s right not to be drafted into your display.
We are a small minority here.
Act like it.
The Islamic backlash is not a mystery.
It’s self-inflicted.
Public prayer stunts in Times Square.
Loud dawah framed as “we’re taking over.”
Importing old-country politics.
Treating American norms as optional and then acting shocked when natives push back.
Most Americans will never say this out loud:
They don’t want the adhan blasted in public squares.
They don’t want a new mosque on every corner.
They don’t owe you their language.
They don’t want your relatives imported by default.
They don’t have to care that you’re fasting.
This doesn't mean you can't practice, fast, pray and, build a life.
Do it without turning the host country into a stage and then crying “Islamophobia” when people notice.
Ungrateful, performative Muslims don’t advance the religion.
They hand critics footage and make the rest of us look like idiots.
Stop giving them the ammo.
If you want to be performative, go to the UAE, Saudi, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, or any of the other beautiful countries in the middle east.
Many are clean, safe, and there are no ghetto black people.
Assimilate or go there.
Break into a home. Threaten the owner with a knife. Steal the car.
The two intruders escape. Getaway driver gets arrested and pleads guilty.
His sentence: house arrest. No jail.
This is Grand Theft Toronto.
We need to keep you safe by putting repeat offenders behind bar and leaving them there: https://t.co/4slSsxbA6o
@Polymarket Now hear me out. Is it possible they want them to advise if they should keep it hidden until they seal the AGI deal and are the one and only AI?
It’s almost as if they made a deal with the producers who agreed to develop the reserves based on a guaranteed output and price - ohh and clear pathway to development as the government already agreed. This is the same playbook as Venezuela. They want to control the resources through corporations. Hence Venezuelan oil over Canadian. Greenland for minerals over China & Canada. Now Belarus for their potash.
Or we can fixate on why Trump bad.
@EvanFeigenbaum@ConradMBlack Will the outrage stick if they source it for a much cheaper price? That’s where my eyes squint when reading the context of the tweet…. It isn’t about the country it is coming from, it is about the price farmers will pay for the product.
BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: TPM's @KatieDaviscourt investigated Somali home daycares in Seattle. Could there be millions of dollars of potential misuse of taxpayer funds?
When she knocked on doors, often no one answered and if they did they were hostile and defensive. Neighbors say they have never seen any kids!
These individual daycares are receiving $40,000 - $70,000 per month.
