Baaaaaa

Credibility of CDC:

@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.

@TristenPalori Its dangerous and stupid to be a landlord in a leftie state. They will come for your stuff (and for you too, if they can figure out a way).

“The building has been vacant for a year. Why won’t the landlord just accept lower rent?” In commercial real estate, you have to think long term. If market rent is $100,000 per year, a disciplined landlord will often refuse to lease at $80,000. Lower rent does more than reduce income. It directly impacts the property’s value. Here’s why: - Value is based on income (NOI). - Lower rent = lower NOI. - Lower NOI = lower property value. Example: - At $100,000 NOI and a 5% cap rate, the property is worth $2,000,000. - At $80,000 NOI, that value drops to $1,600,000. That is a $400,000 loss in value just to fill the space faster. Because of that, it can make financial sense for a landlord to leave a space vacant for a year if it means securing a tenant at full market rent.

@PNWConservative IMHO: the MRNA covid "vaxes." I determined it was poison for me after 2nd moderna.

I posted last week about a number of my 30 something-year-old friends who have been diagnosed with rare aggressive cancers, or have died suddenly. I found out today a coworker of mine who is 39 died just this weekend. Sudden.. no signs… What the hell is going on?

@ShayKhatiri @mdubowitz Everybody has an opinion. Some are worthwhile, some are not (like this one). Israel is surrounded by hostile islamics that want to kill them. Any other real special forces types with brains and courage in politics with a successful track record? I am waiting...

I must add: Among many problems Netanyahu’s overstaying his welcome has caused is the talent drain in Likud, historically Israel’s best party. Ambitious and talented people wait for their turns only so long before abandoning the party to form their own. Now, there’s nobody left to carry on the Likud torch after Bibi. Bibi served Israel well, but he reached the point of diminishing returns a while ago.

I am a strong believer in term limits. Netanyahu has achieved much for Israel. He should be profoundly thanked, fully pardoned and allowed to enjoy his remaining years. But it’s time for new leadership. Israel should limit its PMs to two four-year terms like we do in America.

@PeterJSteinmann @nickimoraa Very nice, if they want to reimburse you the difference between coach and 1st class (which you paid for) AND THEN SOME for the trouble. Empathy becomes suicidal when it cost you $$ and $$ are limited. They had the same opportunity to pay and reserve seats that you did.

@nickimoraa It is so sad to read how you can not get over to show some empathy and make their day bright. All traveling in a plane arrive at the same time. Have switched myself many times, families, couples and friends, it is really easy joy and happiness to others.

@VividProwess Interesting that he realizes it, and that he is being played.

🚨BREAKING: PRESIDENT TRUMP: "The United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! They'll come down fast, they'll come down easy and, if they don't take the DEAL, it will be my Honor to do what has to be done"

@orenbarsky Open borders: Replacing Jews with Islamics, for votes, regardless of damage to country. See Sueto and the Somalis. This must be stopped, or islam (a political religion of conquest) will eliminate Jews and Christians. See N Africa as a prototype.

How deep has antisemitism gone in the Democratic Party? A Jewish politician — whose father was born in Israel — ignores all U.S. aid worldwide and singles out Israel. Why? Political gain. Sad and pathetic.
