Baaaaaa

Credibility of CDC:

@GigaBeers Good for Fetterman.👍

Fetterman vs Obama Senator John Fetterman revealed that he directly told former President Barack Obama he does not work for him. Obama had been visiting Capitol Hill regularly to deliver policy guidance to Democrats according to Fetterman. The Pennsylvania senator expressed that he found these sessions offensive because his loyalty belongs to the voters who elected him. Fetterman noted that Obama has conducted these weekly meetings since he joined the Senate. He argued that such influence from a former president does not align with how a constitutional republic should function. Fetterman emphasized that elected officials must answer to their constituents rather than any past leader or party network.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Do you think Fetterman should switch parties, already? Or can’t be trusted?

@naomirwolf @SkepticalSheep Why still there???

Complete breakdown of society. I get into a NYC cab. Newly arrived gentleman with no cabbie license in the license slot asks me if I want to pay ‘the flat rate’ or ‘the hourly rate’. Neither of these of course exist in NYC, it is a metered rate. I express firmly that I am a New Yorker and know about metered rates and to please turn on the meter. But I have no reason to believe this is a licensed driver in his actual own cab. Scary feeling. @nyctaxi

@cltrl_sprmcst @iranidaturan @ezralevant @ConceptualJames How did THAT work out?😋

@ezralevant @ConceptualJames Wrong “democracy”. It’s confusing.

Hang on, you're getting a democracy award? You imposed martial law on Canada because peaceful truckers were honking their horns at you. You threw your critics in prison and seized their bank accounts without legal process. Four judges in a row called it illegal, you crook.

@MAGANEWS_X Good. Perhaps they should not be voting.

Chuck Schumer warns that if the SAVE AMERICA ACT passes it would remove 20 Million people from the Voter Rolls. Are you concerned the SAVE AMERICA ACT would remove 20 million people from voter rolls? A. Concerned B. Not concerned

@BROKENBRITAIN0 Reform will get its revenge.

🚨BREAKING: Reform UK’s Lee Anderson has just been KICKED OUT of the House of Commons for calling Keir Starmer a liar 🇬🇧 He was given the opportunity to take back his comments but doubled down and was kicked out.

@PolitlcsUK I think we should let the rus eat them. Might be an improvement.

🚨 WATCH: Zarah Sultana is suspended and removed from the House of Commons for calling Keir Starmer a liar "I have a duty to my constituents to tell the truth and the Prime Minister is a liar"

@PolitlcsUK This is "democracy" in not so great Brittan. Stamer IS a LIAR (my humble opinion)... and preventing rape gangs from being investigated. See the work of T. Robinson.

@tothcsabatibor What kind of assholeishness is this?

Magyar to Hungarian press: we would arrest Netanyahu if he entered the country Magyar told the press today, that Hungary is halting its withdrawal from the International Criminal Court, which means Netanyahu must also be taken into custody Telex asked Magyar whether he had invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the 70th anniversary of the 1956 Revolution despite plans to rejoin the International Criminal Court (ICC). Magyar answered that he has invited every head of state by default and wants to celebrate it in a fitting manner. Magyar also confirmed that the government can halt the withdrawal from the ICC, and if someone who is a member of the ICC and a person wanted by the court enters the country’s territory, they must be taken into custody. “You don’t have to tell everything to another head of government over the phone,” he added, regarding whether he had discussed this with the Israeli prime minister.

@libsoftiktok Not good. Needs to be overruled by the Supremes.

BREAKING: The Montana Supreme Court ruled that it’s "Transgender discrimination" to require that a person’s birth certificate match their biological sex.

@minori_noen Way cool. I've got a Kubota, myself, but a bit smaller (B2320). We are not farmers, but retired with small acreage... just enough for some privacy. 😋👍 Farming is a bit of a gamble, but very necessary, hats off to those who can do it.

去年から 独身女性が米農家と結婚したいって チラホラ言ってましたやん？ 昨日もどっかのSNSで見たんだけど… これからは農家の時代が……くる？ ちなみに私は独身だよ！！！！ はぁ…現実が辛い。働こう… 結婚してなくても働いて納税してる それだけで本当にすごいし偉いんだから

@LizaRosen0000 Prescient.

t.co/kgNnkLNLow It took 13 years for Douglas Murray’s prophecy to come true. And now it’s happening exactly as he said, word for word. He stood at the Oxford Union and warned that the West would once again abandon the Jews—and this time, Israel would be forced to stand alone. He said it when it was unpopular. He said it when it was “offensive.” And now it’s reality. This isn’t just a clip. It’s a time bomb going off. Make it viral. The world needs to see what cowardice looks like in hindsight.

@TigayBarry I still don't think we are ready for a Jewish pres in the US. Politics is a blood sport, and anything and everything will be used against him, especially if he helps Israel.

Josh Shapiro, Rahm Emanuel, J.B. Pritzker and Jared Polis are all considering running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028. Could a Jewish candidate win the nomination in today’s Democratic Party? To what depths would they have to sink to prove they are not a really Jewey Jew?

@RealBababanaras Ho hum... just missile fuel. I think some 50% Tariffs on China are needed. Not our friends.

This is HUGE The Iranian cargo ship which was taken into control by the U.S. Navy Marines, was loaded with Ammonium perchlorate, Sodium perchlorate / sodium chlorate, oxidizers & propellant chemicals like dual use materials which can be used in production of ballastic missiles.

@HeleneTveit1 Norway not in EU. Withdraw from any "association" with them. Keep their hands out of your pockets.

Nå kommer Europaparlamentet, Brussel og Ursula von der Leyen for det norske pensjons- og oljefondet. Politikere i EU mener Norge har for mye rikdom – og at 20–25 % av denne bør «erverves» av teknokratene i Brussel. Pengene skal blant annet brukes til å finansiere Ukraina og EUs konflikt med Russland. Samtidig pekes det på at folk i EU får stadig dårligere råd og sliter med å betale regningene sine. Løsningen? At Norge skal stille opp økonomisk. Så spørsmålet er enkelt: Hvor går grensen? Når blir norsk sparing til europeisk felleskasse? 🇳🇴💰⚡️ #Norge #Oljefondet #EU #Politikk #Ukraina #Økonomi #Brussel

@ACTBrigitte If you live there, or own prop there, look in the mirror as you ask that question...😋

When all the wealthy people leave New York City, who will Zohran Mamdani tax?

@aakashgupta This is fine, because he built Amazon which provides amazing benefit to me and millions... products delivered today or tomorrow at prices that often beat ALL others. That is worth quite a bit to me, and I like it.

The real cheat code isn't the $81,400 salary. It's what happens at the end. Bezos' base pay has been frozen at $81,400 since 1998. The 2026 Amazon proxy confirmed it last week. That number was 2x the US median male income in 1998. Today it's barely 16% above it. The payroll tax dodge is the smallest piece. Even at top marginal rates, it saves him maybe $40K a year. Rounding error. The borrow piece is bigger. An SBLOC from his private bank lets him pull cash against his Amazon stock at roughly the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a spread. Right now that's around 5%. No capital gains triggered. Loan proceeds aren't income. So he never sells, never realizes the gain, never pays the 20% federal plus 7% Washington or 13.3% California capital gains tax on hundreds of billions in appreciation. But here's the part almost nobody explains. IRC Section 1014. When he dies, his heirs inherit his Amazon shares at fair market value. The cost basis resets to whatever the stock is worth that day. Every dollar of lifetime appreciation, wiped from the tax rolls. So Bezos' cost basis on his earliest Amazon shares is roughly $0.075 per share adjusted for splits. Today the stock is around $220. That's a gain of roughly 293,000% per share. All of it disappears at death. The estate then sells a slice of the now stepped-up stock at basically zero gain, uses the proceeds to pay off every outstanding SBLOC, and passes the rest to heirs. Buy. Borrow. Die. He doesn't avoid income tax because his salary is low. He avoids income tax because the US tax code treats a loan against $200B in stock as "not income" and treats death as a basis eraser. Congress has introduced bills to repeal step-up at death in 2021, 2022, and 2024. All failed. The 2025 tax law explicitly preserved it and raised the estate exemption to $15M per person. The salary story is the distraction. The real subsidy is Section 1014.

@MofaQatar_EN To bad, so sad. Israel will recognize who it wishes to.

Statement | Sixteen Arab and Islamic nations strongly condemn Israel's announcement of appointing a diplomatic envoy to the so-called “Somaliland” Doha | April 18, 2026 We, the foreign ministers of the State of Qatar; the State of Kuwait; Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; Arab Republic of Egypt; Federal Republic of Somalia; Republic of the Sudan; State of Libya; People's Republic of Bangladesh; People's Democratic Republic of Algeria; State of Palestine; Republic of Türkiye; Republic of Indonesia; Islamic Republic of Pakistan; Islamic Republic of Mauritania; Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan; and Sultanate of Oman strongly condemn Israel's appointment of a diplomatic envoy to the so- called Somaliland. We consider it a blatant violation of the sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia. We reiterate our categorical rejection of all unilateral actions that infringe upon the unity or sovereignty of states, emphasizing our unwavering support for the unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Somalia, and our support for the legitimate Somali state institutions as the sole representatives of the will of the Somali people. We also stress that such actions are a clear violation of the principles of international law, the United Nations Charter and the Constitutive Act of the African Union, and represent a dangerous precedent that could undermine stability in the Horn of Africa region, negatively impacting regional peace and security in general. #MOFAQatar

@MarioNawfal Not an Israeli uniform, no insignia, no name...just more lies & bullshit for the stupid.

Unverified photo going viral of this Israeli soldier in South Lebanon And you expect Hezbollah to disarm before Israel pulls out?

@PeterJSteinmann @nickimoraa Or, build a strong fence, and buy a heard of Rottweilers and cattle dogs to guard it...

@PeterJSteinmann @nickimoraa Also, IMHO, your attitude, of self righteousness sucks... If you were my neighbor, I would move.👎

I was on a 4-hour flight, aisle seat, front section paid extra specifically so I could get off quickly and avoid the airport stampede. Boarding finishes, we’re settling in, and this woman taps my shoulder. She’s got a toddler on her hip and a husband hovering behind her like emotional support luggage. She asks if I can switch seats so their “little family can sit together.” I look at her seat: middle row, back of the plane. Not even a window. Just… economy suffering. I politely say no, I paid extra for this seat. She immediately shifts tone“It’s just a seat, we’re a family.” Now here’s where it gets interesting. The flight attendant comes over, and instead of backing me up, she tries the classic “let’s find a solution” approach. Suddenly I’m being asked to compromise like I’m in a corporate meeting and not a passenger who planned ahead.
