Wouldn't it be nice if the only time you had to track crypto transactions for tax purposes is when fiat money went into an exchange and when fiat came off of an exchange. I put $20k in and take $28k out, my gain is $8k. So much easier than tracking basis and all exchanges.

@SenWarren Stop conspiring to be even MORE of a thief! youtu.be/muHg86Mys7I?si…

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

@RippleXrpie So BXE isn't a Ripple sponsored/backed token, it's just on the xrpl right? So what's the "real utility" of BXE that XRP doesn't provide?

@WietseWind it's that special tax time again. I'm trying to use you Ledger Transaction Explorer to get a csv and it keeps freezing. 1st time at about 17k transactions and 2nd at 12k. Can it just not handle large volumes? Is there a way to chunk it? Perhaps by year?

Just some facts. . . Ladies and gentlemen, I give you America's Kings and Queens 👑 R: Chuck Grassley, 51 years D: Ed Markey, 49 years D: Ron Wyden, 45 years D: Chuck Schumer, 45 years R: Hal Rogers, 45 years R: Chris Smith, 45 years D: Steny Hoyer, 45 years D: Dick Durbin, 43 years D: Marcy Kaptur, 43 years R: Mitch McConnell, 41 years D: Nancy Pelosi, 39 years D: Frank Pallone, ~37 years D: Richard Neal, ~37 years D: Rosa DeLauro, ~35 years D: Maxine Waters, ~35 years On the other hand, R: Donald Trump, ~5 years as a politician and 50+ years in business. In 2024, America elected Donald Trump to secure the border, deport those who are here illegally, strengthen our military, and reduce crime in our cities. The people above have a combined 600 years of experience in fundraising, backroom deals, money laundering, dining with lobbyists, and insider trading, to name a few... They all represent a very specific group of people; unfortunately, it's none of us on either side. In fact, they have done everything in their power to take out President Trump and stop the agenda we elected him to complete! If you listened to every one of them 20 years ago, they all stood for the exact opposite of what they are selling today. Apparently, doing the right thing, whether you stay in power or not, runs out after you've had 12-15 years on the gravy train! Congress was never meant to be a lifelong career. Yet today it's a nursing home for power-hungry narcissists who haven't represented the people who elected them for decades! Now tell me again, who's the real threat to "democracy?" While thousands are out protesting "No Kings" today, the real kings and queens have been ruling from Capitol Hill for decades. It's time to end these career politicians! It's way past time for term limits!!! We can and must do better than this! 🇺🇸 #TermLimits #ChuckSchumer #NancyPelosi #MitchMcConnell #ChuckGrassley #EdMarkey

@MarkWarner How do you know it's extraordinarily rare? Perhaps it's simply not often detected. How do you determine that it actually IS NOT happening? Do you want us to just believe you?

Noncitizen voting is extraordinarily rare – in many audits, less than one hundreth of one percent of all votes cast. The SAVE Act is a total sham, cracking down on a problem that isn’t real.

3 weeks ago I argued the US goal in Iran is to seize the global oil spigot. Venezuela in January -> Iran in February. Neutralize every supply channel outside the dollar system within 90 days. Achieve a compliant successor government and complete energy dominance. The oil thesis was the obvious layer. However, when you zoom out & view the last four years as a single sequence rather than isolated geopolitical events, the architecture of the grander US plan becomes visible. 1st was Europe, which laid the groundwork. The Ukraine conflict provided the justification for sanctions that collapsed Russian pipeline gas from 150 billion cubic meters to 40. Then Nordstream was destroyed, which rewired the entire European energy system permanently. The US went from supplying 28% of Europe's LNG in 2021 to 58% by 2025, exporting a record 111 million MTs, the 1st country in history to break 100 MT. Europe was transformed from a customer with options into a captive market now purchasing its survival in USD. 2nd was Syria. The fall of Assad severed the critical node connecting China's Belt & Road Initiative to the Mediterranean. The trilateral railway linking Iran, Iraq & Syria, designed to bypass Western maritime chokepoints, was completely destroyed. This isolated Iran geographically & cleared the path for what came next. 3rd was Venezuela. In January the US effectively took control of the world's largest heavy crude reserves. The US Gulf Coast has the most advanced refining complex on earth, specifically built for heavy sour crude. Phillips 66, Valero & the rest are now positioned to process hundreds of thousands of barrels of Venezuelan crude daily. The US captured a massive strategic reserve & solidified its position as the dominant exporter of refined petroleum products, an industry worth $110 billion in 2025 alone. Venezuela & Iran were the two major oil supply channels that existed outside the dollar system. Both produce heavy crude sold primarily to China & evaded US financial supervision. Both now being neutralized within 90 days, which leads us to.. 4th is Iran & the Middle East energy shock. Israel struck Iran's South Pars gas field, the world's largest natural gas reservoir. Iran retaliated against Qatar's Ras Laffan, the single largest LNG facility on earth, responsible for a fifth of global supply. QatarEnergy's own assessment is that 17% of export capacity is gone and recovery will take up to 5 years. The Strait of Hormuz is closed. European gas prices spiked 70%. Asian spot prices doubled. The only remaining scaled supplier? The United States. If Iran falls & a successor government is installed that the US controls or influences (the Delcy model described weeks ago) then roughly 40 to 45 million barrels per day of global production out of 103 million is effectively under US control. OPEC becomes irrelevant because the US coalition is now the marginal producer. Now add the gas dimension & it goes beyond oil. This war is solidifying the petrodollar system as it evolves into a hybrid petro/LNG-dollar. The old system was built on Saudi crude priced in USD. The new system is built on American crude plus American gas from the Gulf Coast, with no alternative supplier of comparable scale. The dependency is deeper because LNG infrastructure requires long term contracts & regasification terminals that lock buyers into supply relationships for decades. Europe & the Pacific allies (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc.) cannot pivot away as there is nowhere left to pivot to. They're now locked into the US energy system. The market confirms this. DXY went from 96 to 101. Gold down ~20% from its January all time high. Bitcoin down 20% on the year. Brent above $100. European & Asian institutions are liquidating precious metals and crypto to buy dollars because they need dollars to buy the only remaining scaled energy supply. The world is selling its gold to buy American energy in American currency. The dollar is now being weaponized through energy dependency. The structural repricing is happening regardless of how the conflict resolves. But the US grand strategy goes deeper.. Artificial intelligence is a physical industry. It runs on power and chips. Data centers require massive uninterrupted baseload electricity, primarily provided by natural gas. Semiconductor fabrication requires helium & rare earths. By choking the Strait of Hormuz & crippling Middle Eastern LNG & helium production, the US is systematically degrading China's ability to power its data centers & fabricate semiconductors at scale. The US is energy self sufficient, especially with newly captured Venezuelan reserves & expanding Gulf Coast capacity running on domestic gas. On the other hand, China is import dependent & every joule it imports effectively now transits chokepoints the US Navy controls.. Iran was the Belt & Road's overland energy bypass, the corridor that allowed China to mitigate the Malacca Trap. With Iran neutralized that corridor is severed. China faces a world where its compute infrastructure competes for scraps on a depleted global LNG market, while American data centers run at full capacity on domestic energy. Russia is next in the sequence. A post-war Iran reopening under US influence competes directly with Russia for the same refineries in China & India at lower cost. Iran's production costs are lower. Russia loses its last structural advantage in heavy crude & its economic lifeline. Additionally, under the Iran war cover, Ukraine has been opportunistically destroying Russian energy infrastructure & all signs point towards Russia being at the end of the line. The message from Washington becomes very simple: we dismantled two regimes in three months, your economy is about to get crushed, sign the Ukraine deal. Then Trump sits down with Xi holding every card. Complete energy dominance. The hybrid petro/LNG-dollar fortified, Iran cleared, Russia cornered, & China facing the Malacca Trap fully closed with no remaining energy bypass. Israel & the GCC are absorbing the kinetic cost of a conflict whose primary beneficiary, counter to the mainstream narrative, is actually America (First). Qatar offline for 5 years reprices the entire global gas market in favor of US exporters for the remainder of the decade. The Gulf states face years of rebuilding. Europe faces its 2nd energy crisis in four years. Sure, the average American might face temporary moderate inflation & higher gas prices. But if you are the architect of the US empire & you view the rise of China & Chinese ASI as an existential winner takes all scenario, the collateral damage is acceptable cost. Whoever controls the energy corridors controls the monetary system. Whoever controls the monetary system & the energy supply simultaneously controls the compute infrastructure that determines which civilization builds ASI first. The US is seizing all 3.

@RealDonKeith Put the handcuffs on one wrist and you'd be surprised how quickly she complies after a slight twist (assuming hinge cuffs and not the old chain-linked).

Imagine being a police officer have to deal with this, tugging a motorist in the direction of 70mph traffic because she’s an uncooperative Karen.

@danielsgoldman Ahhh, so doing their jobs!

ICE is not at airports to help TSA and reduce lines. They are there (without identification) trying to arrest people, exactly as I predicted. ICE must be abolished.

@BillyHoag0311 @LynneShasta40 @JesusisChristX Oh and Faith alone was a Reformation emergence called the 5 Sola - Sola Gratia, Sola Fide, Sola Scriptura, Sola Christus, and Sola Deo Gloria.

@LynneShasta40 @JesusisChristX When did Christians STOP believing she was conceived without original sin? Also, when was the word “alone” added to being saved by faith?

Do you believe Mary was conceived without sin, remained ever-virgin, and was assumed into heaven, body and soul? Yes or No

@BillyHoag0311 @LynneShasta40 @JesusisChristX It wasn't official Catholic doctrine until 1854. St Justin Martyr in 155AD first wrote of Mary as the "New Eve". We don't know if the idea predates him. St Ambrose was the first to discuss her as being "free from every stain of sin" around 387 AD.

@BillyHoag0311 @JesusisChristX Original Sin comes from the male line since it was in Adam that all sinned (no Eve). So Mary was a sinner because she had a human father. But the female cannot pass sin along, only the male can. And since Jesus didn't have an earthly father, Jesus didn't have original Sin. Easy.

100% yes. If she’s not, then, Christ would be half sinner; definitely even, making Him a sinner, which isnt possible. The entire gospel would be corrupted. If she’s not the Ark of the Covenant containing the Holy of holies, then she’s just average and just gave birth to an average baby, not the King of kings.

@DamianLow3 Cases or instances? Cases imply discovered, investigated, and prosecuted. Just because something isn't discovered, investigated, or prosecuted does not mean a thing isn't happening you know.

There have been a total of 77 cases of voter fraud since 2003, out of over a billion votes. That's 0.0003%. We really don’t.
