@The_T1371 @allenanalysis Let me introduce you to life insurance.

@allenanalysis Social security is a garbage program. It's betting you pass away before collecting. It's an entitlement which means the payout owed should scale by the income taxed. The government is capping it's future liabilities. Or, we could just call it what it is - theft.

MURRAY: Under $184k pays 12.4% Social Security tax? DAHL: Yes. MURRAY: $1M? DAHL: 2.2%. So: Workers: 12.4% Millionaires: 2.2% Billionaires: effectively near zero Same system. Different rules. We need a new Congress.

@grablekelly05 @allenanalysis Yes. This is literally what they say in the video.

This is false. The Social Security payroll tax (the 6.2% employee share, matched by employers for a combined 12.4%) has an income cap (also called the wage base or taxable maximum), not a deduction. How the cap works - In 2026, only the first $184,500 of your wages or self-employment income is subject to the Social Security portion of FICA/SECA taxes. - Earnings above $184,500 are not taxed for Social Security purposes. That's why someone earning $1 million pays the same maximum Social Security tax ($11,439 employee share) as someone earning exactly $184,500. - This cap is adjusted annually based on the national average wage index and has risen from $176,100 in 2025 to $184,500 in 2026. Put in place by: In short: The foundational system, including the cap, was a New Deal Democratic initiative passed by a Democratic Congress and signed by a Democratic president.

@CryptoMikli We'll all be dead before this happens, so who cares.

Grant Cardone explains how Tesla’s Optimus robot will CRASH gold prices “Wait until we have 8 million or 8 billion Optimus robots and gold is at $10,000. These robots won’t be cleaning kitchens they’ll be digging into the earth and searching for gold 24/7, 365 days a year” “We haven’t explored 91% of our oceans yet. These robots don’t need oxygen, as long as they have energy, they’ll be digging everywhere and finding endless amounts of gold and other precious metals”

@AlexYoung @petermlaffin @AlexThomp lol ... I wonder if it was copy and paste or he has a bot running his account.

@petermlaffin @AlexThomp obsessed much?

AOC calls the NYT “Everyone’s got this story wrong, that this is about me running for president. I could give — whatever, about that, to be honest…To me, my opponents are the network that links Orban, Trump,Milei, Bolsonaro, all of these folks.” nytimes.com/2026/02/16/us/…

@SawyerMerritt "unprofitable" ... 🤨

This is grossly misleading. Tesla clearly shows in its 10-K that as of Dec 31, 2025, it had $3.56B of federal net operating loss carry-forwards available to offset future taxable income, which stems from Tesla being unprofitable for most of its 22 year history. Cherry-picking data, like what Senator Warren is doing, is simply dishonest. 10-K filing (page 87): ir.tesla.com/_flysystem/s3/…

@The_x_Truth @stats_feed Did your daughter inherit / learn your racism as well?

@stats_feed My daughter scored a 130 when tested in Kindergarten and has been in gifted, honors and extended learning programs ever since. Flooding the country with third world immigrants over the last 30 years probably caused this negative impact.

Neuroscientist study reveals that Gen Z has become the first generation to be less intelligent than its predecessor, the Millennials. For the first time in 100 years, young people are scoring lower than their parents on IQ tests and core skills like memory, reading, and focus. This is happening mainly in the US and Europe. The main cause appears to be excessive screen time and digital device use, particularly in schools and social settings. While some suggest Gen Z is just developing different skills, research shows actual declines in fundamental problem-solving abilities.

@DennisTX79 @Phantom2Phlyer @mikedlong5150 @mattmfm That worked well. Bunch of idiots.

@Phantom2Phlyer @mikedlong5150 @DerekBlueSteele @mattmfm Hey, easy. The defenders of democracy also put their last candidate on the ballot without a single primary vote. So, I’d say they have this democracy thing down pretty good.

As Republicans complain about Virginia restricting redistricting, a reminder that Democrats tried to enact a national ban on partisan gerrymandering. Every single Republican voted no.

@SummitGlobal1 @byHeatherLong Technological innovation

@byHeatherLong Rephrasing the question: how does an economy produce more output with the same or fewer workers?

Why is there a hiring recession with the Dow at 50k and GDP growth so strong? There are 3 key reasons: 1) WH policy on tariffs, immigration and DOGE 2) Many firms overhired in 2022/2023. They're slimming down now 3) AI Smart people give these 3 factors different weights. I laid out my thinking this week in a @voxdotcom piece: vox.com/the-highlight/… 60% due to WH policies. Tariffs and DOGE lowered DEMAND for workers. Immigration lowered SUPPLY. 30% correction for overhiring. [Lower Demand] 10% AI [Lower Demand...not b/c AI is doing the job, but b/c firms are spending so much $$$ on AI that they have less for anything else, including workers] #jobs #economy #stocks #hiring

@IfindRetards Maybe or maybe no one knows who the hell that is and just kept scrolling.

Note: this is the worst performing post I've probably ever had. I've noticed when certain people or things relating to Epstein are mentioned, you get suppressed.

Found one

@mikedlong5150 @mattmfm @Phantom2Phlyer Well then … relax. It will be overturned, if it’s unconstitutional.

It was and it was ruled unconstitutional and issued an injunction. They’re continuing with it anyway. politico.com/news/2026/01/2… They failed to follow their own process during a special session. So our new AG is taking it to appeals court while the democrats in the state continue on.

@45LVNancy @GovPressOffice 1. Woman testifies she was raped by a man. 2. Man is convicted. 3. Republicans call it “an affair”.

@GovPressOffice Your wife had an affair with Harvey Weinstein

Oink, oink.

@mikedlong5150 @mattmfm @Phantom2Phlyer Wait … if you codified it into your Constitution wouldn’t the “VA gerrymandering” be challenged in court and ruled unconstitutional?

@mattmfm @Phantom2Phlyer And it was not a state vote. This was federal. But the state of VA said with Dems and republicans that we would do it. 5 years ago. We codified it into our constitution. One party here decided to defecate on that vote

@Fmix2369 @DC_Draino @elonmusk Great mathing

@DC_Draino @elonmusk 11-10＝1

A state that just had a Republican Governor less than a month ago will now only have 1 out of 11 Congressional seats held by a Republican after Democrat gerrymandering. Every red state needs to fight fire with fire. Wake up to the war we’re in.

@Citizen010101 @leo80209013 @greg_price11 @wajacobson Cool. Now reflect on SCOTUS nominations over the last decade.

Neo, you fucking boob, go look at blue state R/D voting percentages and compare it with their congressional delegation makeups. Democrats have been ruthlessly gaming congressional maps for decades, but get away with it because they have a captive media and republicans have been too timid to fight.

Indiana Republicans: "We can't do redistricting because we're too principled and Trump is really mean." Virginia Democrats: "We are going to draw a district that connects Arlington with Augusta and Goochland and we simply do not care what you think about that."

@greg_price11 Haha

@Lobs_All_Day What’s the payout on this crazy shit?

will this parlay hit? 49ers 2026-2027 SB champions Brock Purdy 2026-2027 SB MVP Patrick Mahomes 2026-2027 CPOY Bills AFC champions David Bailey DROY Fernando Mendoza OROY

@Izengabe_ They may not be “the same” but you reap what you sow. Dems ain’t playing the “norms” game anymore. They’ve gotten burned one too many times. e.g. SCOTUS

I'm so sick of Democrats falsely claiming what Virginia is doing is somehow a response to Texas. Under the new Texas map Democrats can win 29% of seats with 40% of vote. Under the Democrats Virginia map Republicans can 9% of seats with 49% of the vote. They are not the same.

@Geiger_Capital Now do Texas.

Republicans in Indiana took the "high road" and didn’t redraw 2 Democratic seats in a state that Trump won by +19 pts. Democrats in Virginia took power and are immediately eliminating 4 Republican seats in a state Kamala barely won by +5 pts. There’s a powerful lesson here.

@GaryWinslett @lymanstoneky Well sh*t … sign me up!

America has too few doctors. 18 states have figured out a solution- they let experienced, foreign-trained doctors treat American patients. It's bipartisan. It works in Canada + the UK. Voters overwhelmingly support it. More states should do this. (link in replies)

@MichaelAArouet What else 2x’ed between 2000 and 2025? Think about.

Wait a minute, aren’t we told by the left that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer? Capitalism isn’t the worst enemy of socialism; reality and facts are the worst enemies of left narratives.
