@BetaTomorrow @AutismCapital @grok is this true

As someone who came from China, this pattern feels hauntingly familiar. In 1949, it started with taxing the 'rich' and the business owner / landowners. By 1966, the net grew wider, targeting intellectuals and the middle class, eventually leading to the Cultural Revolution and total economic collapse by 1978. History shows that policies targeting a specific 'wealthy' group rarely stay confined to that group. What starts at $1M eventually reaches the hard-working middle class.

🚨BREAKING: Washington State passes their first ever income tax. Incomes over $1M/year will be taxed at 9.9%. Married couples share A SINGLE $1M exemption, so if combined incomes are more than $1M, you're getting taxed. This will obviously eventually extend beyond millionaires. What comes for others, will eventually come for you! RIP Washington state!

@CherokeeOwl My kid threw a fit in the store. Once. That’s all it took. And I don’t need to spank him. He’s 8.

@TruthWarriorG Where are you at in the Philippines?

As the saying goes, life is a journey not a destination 👣 And wherever it is that we may find ourselves in this mysterious Earthly journey, and at this present moment in time, there is always an opportunity to learn, grow, make the most of this thing called life and ultimately strive to become the best version of ourselves ✅ This is me just giving a quick update from this side of the planet on my personal journey 🌏 Hope you all are well! #keepmovingforward📷

@EricLDaugh I’m all about Desantis but I have to disagree. We are struggling to make ends meet. Housing is a huge problem. Jump in property values, Property taxes, insurance and HOA fees are making it extremely hard to afford to live. The state esp, SWFL is overpopulated

🚨 JUST IN: Gov. Ron DeSantis takes HUGE victory lap on New York and Ugandan Mayor Mamdani as they consider SURGING TAXES on Americans "Florida now has almost 4 million more residents than NY, yet their budget is over TWICE AS LARGE as Florida's!" ☀️🔥 "New York City with 8 million people has a larger budget than the entire state of Florida and yet our infrastructure is better, our roads are better, services are better." "These are CHOICES. They don't respect the taxpayers in these places and people have rebelled now." "It's not just taxes. You have homeless problem. You obviously have had crime problem in some of these areas for a number of years." "We have no state income tax in Florida, which we're gonna keep. We have a sales tax, but the necessities of life are actually exempt." "So food, medication, baby items, you don't even pay sales tax on that." "And so if somebody is struggling trying to make ends meet, we've done a lot to reduce the burdens on them." "We've stood for people that are working hard. We respect the taxpayers and the proof's in the pudding!" "How can you possibly argue that it would be OK to have a budget TWICE as large like New York State? Given the substandard results that they have, it's a choice of how they're treating taxpayers."

The United States has now returned to the Venezuelan government all $500 million from the initial sale of oil that was part of a deal reached between Caracas and Washington last month, a US official said

Newsmax reporting it’s time to arrest Barack Obama “It should shake every single American in their shoes. I hate to say this, but President Barack Obama, there is now incontrovertible evidence that he was the spearhead of a seditious conspiracy to subvert the will of the American people and overthrow the United States government back in 2016. We must, absolutely must, hold every one of these criminals accountable for the crimes that they committed. They are the most heinous crimes committed in American history. James Comey, John Brennan, Clapper, Rice, Biden was in the meeting on July 28th in the Oval Office. They briefed Barack Obama on Hillary Clinton's plan to tie Trump to Russia collusion lies. It consumed our national discourse for 5 years. It undermined a sitting, duly elected president. It sabotaged administration. It framed a three-star general. It destroyed and ripped this country apart. We had a constitutional crisis, the likes of which I don't think any American can fully comprehend. It is atrocious, and every single one of them must be held accountable”

In 2019, local government property tax revenue throughout Florida was roughly $32 billion. If you adjusted that upward for population growth and inflation growth through 2026, the revenue would be approximately $44.6 billion. Actual projected property tax revenue across local governments in FL for 2026: $60 billion. Wouldn’t it be better to give a full homestead property tax exemption for our residents’ primary homes?

This is incredible… Billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya, once a MEGA Donor to the Democrat Party, says he was totally brainwashed by the NYT, WSJ, CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, CBS etc… and he believed every lie about President Trump as soon as he came down the escalator “Over the course of 6 or 7 years, I realized that some of those fundamental things that I was told about him was totally false… and it started with the Charlottesville lie — then I started to go down that rabbit hole.” Clip rumble.com/v74ztte-billio… Katie Miller Podcast x.com/katiemillerpod…

Holy smokes. President Trump SHOCKS the Fake News with a surprise press briefing appearance. He’s holding up DOZENS of mugshots of criminal aliens in Minnesota FORCING THEM to see who Tim Walz, Jacob Frey, and they themselves are protecting.

Stop what you’re doing and look at this. A Christian pastor is trying to preach the Word of God to his Minnesota congregation. Don Lemon storms the church, rushes the altar in the middle of the sermon, harasses and threatens the pastor on a live feed then further incites a left wing mob against the Christians worshipping. This is not just an obscene violation of the FACE Act — it’s likely a hate crime. Don Lemon needs to be dealt with like the Biden Regime treated Pro-Life protesters. FBI SWAT teams raids, frog marched before the cameras, full federal charges with decades of prison time. Make an example of Don Lemon. Do it now. Otherwise this will happen at every church in America. This is the only way to protect Christianity. Defend the Faith.

Rep Byron Donalds demands Tim Walz apologize to ICE agents Byron Donalds “Is it the responsibility of ICE to actually deport illegal aliens in the United States who are here? Isn't that their responsibility?” Tim Walz “Yes, it is, Congressman, except that the Constitution is not an inconvenience. It’s not an either or” Byron Donalds “Nobody said an inconvenience, you have a responsibility to deport illegal aliens. And the president is going through that process right now. And let's be very clear, the previous administration, they abused every process there is. Under border laws to allow more than 10 million people into the country illegally. And this is a burden on all Americans so the president is doing his job. It is sick to refer to Americans who are ICE agents as Gestapo. Governor, you're wrong. You need to apologize to these agents. They're doing their jobs. They are Americans. They serve this country with honor and decency and respect. Do not diminish their work simply because you tried to make a cheap point that you could tweet.“

@RickyDoggin So why haven’t they been found it

NOT ADDING UP - AT ALL: So Let me be VERY clear. I don’t for one second believe all these people across the country are magically in some giant group chat coordinating protests down to the exact minute. Give me a BREAK. You’re telling me thousands of strangers in different cities just happen to show up at the same time… holding the exact same signs… with the exact same wording… printed in the exact same style… like they all ordered from the same factory overnight No way. Not buying it. Not even close. Real grassroots movements don’t look like this. Real people don’t suddenly pop out of nowhere with professionally designed, mass-produced signs like they came straight from a warehouse. This is organized. This is funded. This is planned. And let’s be honest — the whole thing has that classic billionaire-funded, “Soros-style” vibe written all over it. You know exactly what I mean. We’re all supposed to pretend it’s organic while the same elite networks sit in the background acting like they had nothing to do with it. Sorry, but everything about this screams coordination — not coincidence. - Terrence K Williams

President @realDonaldTrump and @SecScottBessent, and @pulte, I have a simple idea on how to lower mortgage rates and spreads: One of the unique features of U.S. conventional mortgages is that they are prepayable at any time without a penalty. While this feature is attractive for homeowners, it comes at a significant cost as buyers of mortgage backed securities (‘MBS’) require a significant increase in spread to compensate them for giving the borrower the option to prepay at anytime. Why don’t Fannie and Freddie also offer non-prepayable mortgages where if the borrower wishes to prepay the loan, he would have to pay a prepayment penalty? I asked one of my friends who is an expert and large investor in MBS what the estimated savings today would be on a 30-year Fannie/Freddie mortgage if the borrower would be locked out from prepayment other than by paying a penalty? He estimated that the savings would be about 65 basis points. So a borrower could have a choice: Obtain a 30-year prepayable mortgage at today’s ~6% rate, or at a 5.35% rate, but with the obligation to pay a prepayment penalty if he/she refinanced in the future. The loan could also be made to be portable so that if the home is sold, the new borrower could assume the loan and no prepayment penalty would be owed on a sale. While the ability to prepay is a valuable option, locking in the 65 bps savings upfront over the life of the mortgage may be the difference between the borrower being able to afford the home and not being able to. You could imagine that there could be different versions of this product where the lock out would be for 5 years, 10 years etc. (with different levels of savings for each, the longer the lockout, the greater the savings) and the borrower could custom design the mortgage and its prepayability to meet their life plan. As you know, commercial mortgages work this way. Why couldn’t the same approach be used for home loans?

CS Lewis understood

🚨 HOLY CRAP. JD VANCE IS LIVID! "Everybody repeating the lie this is some innocent woman out for a drive in MN - YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU." "What that headline leaves out is the fact that that very ICE officer nearly had his life ENDED, DRAGGED by a car six months ago, 33 stitches in his leg, so you THINK maybe he's a little bit SENSTIVE about somebody ramming him with an automobile?!" "What that headline leaves out is that that woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation in the United States of America." "What that headline leaves out is that that woman is part of a broader left-wing network to attack, to dox, to assault, and to make it impossible for our ICE officers to do their job." "If the media wants to tell the truth, they ought to tell the truth that a group of left-wing radicals have been working tirelessly, sometimes using domestic terror techniques, to try to make it impossible for the president of the United States to do what the American people elected him to do, which is enforce our immigration laws." "You people in the media have been LYING ABOUT THIS ATTACK. She was trying to RAM THIS GUY with her car! He shot back. He's already been seriously wounded before!" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
