@DomDiTommaso It wasn't that hard a call. It wasn't a power move, it was just the normal thing to do. You're really reaching for things to get excited about.

I'll say this: I give Don Kelly a lot of credit for having the nuts to pull Paul Skenes in the first inning. That is not an easy decision: taking away your best chance for a bounce-back and humiliating your superstar. But it was the right call, and a power move. Good work, skip.

@LongTimeHistory Grok says she called ICE right after they started work - not when they had nearly finished. People trying to doxx her need to calm down and wait for the facts.

Homeowner waits until construction job is nearly done—then calls ICE on 6 of her own workers. Woman even provides the ladder used by agent to detain men—who she owes $10,000 for 3 day job. "She called the damn law on us and now we're totally screwed!" men yell in Spanish. "They surrounded us!—They surrounded us!" Agents even left behind the workers' van with doors wide open—filled with thousands of dollars worth of tools. The arrest was broadcast live for about 30 minutes by a co-worker—identified as Bryan Polanco. "Seeing it is not the same as experiencing it," he explains. "I’ve seen many videos, and sadly today I had to experience it." At the end of the video he gets the woman who called ICE on camera: "It is the same woman. Tidying up the house, and still with hatred in her heart." The incident occurred in Cambridge, Maryland.

@B1OBEY0ND I would not pin that result on Franklin. The offense is in a tough spot when the defense gives up 253 yards on the ground.

@shipwreckedcrew Actually that's exactly what it was designed to be. It's a pay as you go system. The current taxes pay current recipients. If you die at 61 there's no payoff for all the years of "contributions".

The it no longer becomes a "contribution" to one's own Social Security "account", it is just a tax on wages to fund a Govt funded social welfare program for the elderly. That's NOT was SS was designed to be.

Every dollar earned below $184,500 a year has a Social Security tax of 12.4%. Everything after that cap is exempt. If we lift this cap on the wealthiest earners, Social Security would be fully funded till 2070. The cap should not exist.

@USA_Polling Because you're a buffoon. Most billionaires own businesses, many of which they started. So your company is successful and you have to start selling it off more and more to fund the tax. Who's buying all these businesses? Maybe private equity. Bet you'd love that.

@fuckyouiquit So are the benefits going up too? The cap limits both the taxes and the end benefits.

The trust funds for Social Security and Medicaid will run out of money in as little as 8 years, a shorter time frame than previously estimated, according to a report issued Wednesday by the programs' trustees. abcnews.link/r5kTy1r

@MaryRuwart Why does having a mortgage matter for taxes? And do you think seniors would rather pay income tax to make up the difference? Or sales tax?

@DividendBreeder None of that is true. You don't use stocks to hedge other stocks. If you prefer the construction of SCHD relative to other broad stock funds, fine, but don't confuse that with providing a fundamentally different type of exposure.

YTD Performance: $SCHD +11.1% S&P500 -2.7% NASDAQ -4.0% Bitcoin -20.8% One of the many reasons I invest in $SCHD is because it’s a hedge against the broader market. 2026 has been a prime example of this.

@hankrearden412 @KDPomp It's very nice of you to believe them. Maybe they were concerned about his knee and maybe they just wanted out of the trade. Could be either. They have a lot of wiggle room to say someone didn't pass their physical.

@KDPomp Why do you put backed out in quotes? They had concerns about his knee. Would you roll the dice on paying a guy 10s of mil of $, if you weren't 100% sure of the progress and future performance of that knee? That's why guys have to pass physicals. Happens all the time in NFL.

Less than 24 hours after Baltimore “backed out” of Maxx Crosby trade, they reach agreement with FA Edge rusher Trey Hendrickson. Per Multiple NFL insiders Something ain’t right here It’s a 4-year, $112M contract. That’s $28M per year, and Hendrickson now goes from Cincy to Baltimore in the AFC North.

@JRown32 I mean why? They didn't break any rules. I hope teams are more skeptical of dealing with the Ravens going forward and they pay a cost for this nonsense but they shouldn't just make up new rules after the fact.

@ShulaBurgh It's not against the rules. The NFL isn't going to do anything. Now maybe teams will be more skeptical of dealing with the Ravens but that's all that can happen.

The #Ravens NEED to be punished for this. The Raiders just spent HUGE in free agency, and now they will have to re-evaluate all their signings. Not to mention, if the Raiders DO want to trade Maxx Crosby, the Ravens just tanked his draft stock exponentially. Everyone and their mother knew Crosby had a late season injury. @NFL Take away their first round pick and give it to the #Raiders.

@Bitcoin_Teddy Imagine the billions the banks loaned them to pay bills on time. Would you have preferred they denied the charges? Should banks pay bills customers submit but don't have money for at no charge?

It’s insane to think about the fact that banks made $89 billion in overdraft fees past year. That’s $89 billion they took from people who literally have no money.

@WellsJorda89710 Reverend, you are not better and more learned than Martin Luther. You are not better and more learned than John Calvin. You are not better and more learned than every single theologian of the first 1900 years of Christianity. They did not share your views on what Israel means.

Someone just told me: “Pastor, you REALLY need to look into the modern state of Israel.” Bro… I have TWO seminary degrees from top Bible schools. Ordained minister. Thousands of hours in the Word. Read the Bible cover-to-cover multiple times. Devoured ~10,000 theology books. I didn’t get my view on Israel from CNN, TikTok, or some “enlightened” podcast. My source? THE BIBLE. And it’s crystal clear. 2/4 The Bible says: ✅ The Jews would return to THEIR land in the last days (Ezek 37, Isa 11:11-12, Jer 31) ✅ Jerusalem would become a global flashpoint (Zech 12:3) ✅ ALL nations would eventually turn against Israel (Zech 14:2) ✅ Jesus Himself will return to ISRAEL — feet on the Mount of Olives (Zech 14:4, Acts 1:11) ✅ The eternal capital of King Jesus will be JERUSALEM — not Dubai, not NYC, not heaven (Rev 20-21, Zech 14) 3/4 The Bible literally says “ALL ISRAEL will be saved” (Rom 11:26). God didn’t replace Israel. He didn’t transfer the promises. He didn’t change His mind. If you think the church “replaced” Israel, you’re arguing with God’s unbroken covenant — and you’re gonna lose that debate. 4/4 So nah… I don’t need your YouTube documentaries, Al-Jazeera clips, or “demonic propaganda.” I’ll stick with the most accurate book in history — the one that’s been 100% right on every prophecy so far. God’s not done with Israel. In fact, He’s just getting started. Drop a 🇮🇱 if you stand with God’s Word over the world’s noise. #Israel #BibleProphecy #EndTimes #JesusIsComing
