Arynne Wexler points out the underrated fact that Europe has more heat related deaths every year than ALL gun related deaths across the United States! 🚨

Maybe they should invest in AC units and stop harping on us to micromanaging firearms? 🤔 Just a thought!

@Space6irl Hope to see you in December!

@Vivian_Pierce Those sure are some pretty feet!

Bill Maher: “A little strip of land that was not part of the original Israel, but which they won in a war launched against them, but then gave back, as a peace gesture. Did they tell you that part on TikTok, kids? And the people who run Gaza, Hamas, who you celebrate as a liberation movement, but are really a terrorist mafia gang… only ever used it to stage attacks on Israel. I think McLemore spoke for all clueless celebrities when he said, ‘I know enough to know this is a genocide.’ Actually, you don't know sh*t. It's not.”

“It's not a genocide. It's a counterattack in a war. A war that's been waged on Israel since 1948, based on the ridiculous premise that Jews don't belong in the one place on Earth they are indigenous, and indisputably their ancestral homeland. Hey, geniuses, they're the Indians in this scenario.”

Stephen A. Smith says he only took home ONE-THIRD of his annual income living in California.

His ESPN salary alone is $20,000,000 a year. That means the government took over $13,300,000 in taxes.

He now lives in Florida.

SMITH: "I can't stand high taxes. And if y'all think I'm lying, federal income tax is nearly 40% for people in my range. And then on top of it all is an additional 13.6% in the state of California. And we ain't even getting the LA city tax, and we ain't getting the FICA, and Social Security and disability."

"You walking home with less than 34% of your money messing around in California! I got a problem with that."

"It's similar in New York. I got a problem with that. So because of that, I speak out against liberal policies that come to take your money."

Here is what the tax breakdown looks like on a $20,000,000 salary:

• Federal income tax (37% top rate): ~$7,360,000
• California income tax (13.3% top rate): ~$2,630,000
• California SDI payroll tax (1.2%, no cap): ~$240,000
• Medicare (2.35% for top earners): ~$470,000
• Social Security (capped): ~$11,000

TOTAL: Over $10,700,000 a year, before property taxes, sales taxes, and city business taxes.

Florida state income tax: $0.

That means Smith saves over $2,870,000 a year ($7,860 a day) on state income taxes alone. Sales tax is also 2.75% cheaper in Florida. No wonder he moved.

@ditriarose yes, they are!

I lived in the US for the first 40 years of my life. Then I moved to Europe.

Here are 10 things I think Americans get right that Europeans should admit:

1/ AC. I’m sorry, but being hot inside your house is awful. Full stop.

2/ Ice in drinks. Lots of it. I want my Coke COLD.

3/ Free refills. If my drink is empty, just fill it back up. We don’t need to make this complicated.

4/ Customer service. Yes, Americans can take it too far. But sometimes I just want someone to actually help me.

5/ Convenience. Drive-thrus, 24 hour pharmacies, and Amazon showing up tomorrow. And being able to buy tires and eyeglasses in the same store. Amazing.

6/ Big refrigerators. Sue me, but I like having enough room to actually put groceries in my refrigerator.

7/ American grocery stores. I’m sorry, but walking into a huge American supermarket with 80 kinds of cereal, 15 kinds of peanut butter and an entire aisle dedicated to potato chips is peak.

8/ Bacon. It’s just not the same over here.

9/ Sports. Europeans have soccer, and they deserve credit for that. But we have football, baseball, basketball, college sports… and somehow Americans can turn almost anything into a reason to tailgate.

10/ Optimism. Americans can be loud and ridiculous, but I miss the attitude that you can always try something new and build a better life.

I love living in Europe.

But living here has made me appreciate America in ways I never expected.

This was me as a little girl, forced into hijab. And this is me after I broke free.

In Iran, I was told: wear the hijab or be kicked out of school. Resist, and you can be arrested, beaten, lashed, or imprisoned, or killed it in the hand of morality Police.

Then I came to the West and was told: be careful telling your story, it might cause “Islamophobia.”

I am a woman from the Middle East. I have lived under Islamist ideology. I have every right to fear it, criticize it, and speak about it.

Don’t silence us in the name of tolerance. Let us talk.

@Vivian_Pierce Nice! Sure wish I had an opportunity to worship them!

Stephen A. Smith publicly APOLOGIZES to Kyrie Irving after calling him "selfish" for refusing the COVID jab.

"Hindsight-wise, it didn’t make him stubborn or selfish. It made him BRAVE."

"I watched Dr. Fauci on Capitol Hill yesterday, and the person I thought about most was Kyrie Irving."

“Kyrie Irving stood out in my mind because of the heat that he was taking... He refused the vaccine. New York City's mandate made him ineligible for home games, and he linked his stance to people losing jobs over vaccine mandates."

“In my opinion, particularly hindsight-wise, it didn't make him stubborn or selfish. It made him brave. His willingness to stand up and say, ‘Nah, I'm not doing that.’

“It's just a time for reflection — to look at things differently.”

Kyrie gave up $11,400,000 in game checks during the 21-22 NBA season and a $100,000,000 extension with the Nets to be unvaccinated.

That cements his holdout as the largest financial sacrifice any athlete has ever made over an issue in history.

@Drea__Morgan @whipsinleather but those feet are looking fabulous!

[Townhall.com @townhallcom]

Democrats have to sit there and TAKE IT while the mother of Sheridan Gorman brings RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION to Congress:

"I'm NOT racist. I'm NOT xenophobic.

Now I'm gonna have to spend my last waking moment fighting.

I don't understand why it's only the Republican side who cares.

You don't feel my pain.

There's no 'but' when your child is in a coffin.

Look me in the eye and explain to me why illegal immigrants are more important than my daughter."

NAILED IT: Bill Maher: “I am loving that the World Cup has brought to our shores all these people who are doing Americans the service of REMINDING us just when we needed it on our big 250th birthday that actually this place is kind of awesome.”
