@GadSaad Euthanize him. Change the semantics.

Death penalty?

@weld_stan @StockSavvyShay Excellent point.

@ObserverAtty @StockSavvyShay Why do we care what you think

Jeff Bezos said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax. He cited a nurse in Queens making ~$75K and paying ~$12K in taxes saying “we shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington.”

@StockSavvyShay Perhaps I should clarify what I was thinking. If there’s going to be an income tax, I do think everyone should pay something, even one percent. I actually prefer a national sales tax and get rid of the income tax altogether. No sales tax on essentials, such as food.

@StockSavvyShay Every person should pay income tax. Skin in the game. Of all people, Bezos should understand incentives.

When are you going to start advocating for elimination of qualified immunity? Government employees should not be shielded from civil liability, both compensatory and punitive, for egregious unlawful acts that deprive anyone are their civil rights, including their life and liberty.

Translation: Justice is DEFINITELY coming.

@ScottAtlas_IT In network physicians must adhere to insurance company protocols or get kicked out of the network. No?

“Patients depend on doctors for critical thinking and knowledge... [During COVID] many physicians were pressured to echo recommendations... Worse, some even pressured patients into adherence rather than persuading with the facts."

@newstart_2024 Frozen pizza is good for you 😂

Freeze your bread before toasting. Dr. Amy Shah dropped this simple hack on Tamsen Fadal’s podcast: freezing turns some of the starch into resistant starch, which acts like fiber, feeds your gut bacteria, and significantly lowers the blood sugar spike. Same trick works for pasta, potatoes, and rice (those go in the fridge). Studies confirm that cooling starches (especially freezing bread then toasting) can increase resistant starch content and reduce the glycemic response by 20–50% while improving gut microbiome health. Have you tried freezing bread or other starches before eating them?

The really disgusting thing is that qualified immunity is the root of all evil. Government employees, unlike any employees of any other organization, cannot be held personally liable under most circumstances. It must be, it needs to be, reformed to the point where it is almost completely done away with. In cases where it’s an obvious, intentional, and egregious act committed by a civil servant, that civil service employee needs to be held civilly liable for compensatory and punitive damages. Punitive damages are not dischargeable in bankruptcy.

Between 2018 and 2020 former IRS contractor Charles Edward Littlejohn — who worked for Booz Allen Hamilton, a defense and national security tech firm — leaked President Trump's tax returns to two news outlets.  In 2024, Littlejohn was sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty. apnews.com/article/tax-le… President Trump filed a lawsuit against the IRS for $10 billion in compensation following the intentional IRS leaking of his tax returns.  Today, the IRS and DOJ settled with President Trump by establishing a $1.7 billion fund for victims of IRS targeting. The Associated Press, mainstream media and leftist in congress are framing the settlement announcement as President Trump paying his allies and MAGA supporters.  However, the fund is set up to pay all victims of IRS targeting regardless of political affiliation. If the media and democrats are correct that only President Trump supporters will benefit from the $1.7 billion IRS victim compensation fund, then by direct implication the media are asserting that only President Trump supporters were targeted by the IRS. Additionally, in 2017 the DOJ and IRS settled a class action lawsuit filed by Tea Party groups for unlawful targeting by Lois Learner and the Cincinnati office of the IRS.  The DOJ paid over 400 lawsuit participants dating back to 2013 and the IRS apologized for the unlawful targeting based on political affiliation. ..."“The IRS admits that its treatment of Plaintiffs during the tax-exempt determination process, including screening their applications based on their names or policy positions, subjecting those applications to heightened scrutiny and inordinate delays, and demanding some Plaintiffs’ information that TIGTA determined was unnecessary to the agency’s determination of their tax-exempt status, was wrong,” the IRS said in court documents. “For such treatment, the IRS expresses its sincere apology.”... foxnews.com/politics/trump…

@RealJamesWoods Tie: John Kerry and Al Gore.

Who is the most notorious liar in modern political history?

@Rightanglenews Grecian formula.

72-year-old John Travolta is the newest Hollywood celebrity to get a brand new face, debuting it at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival where shocked viewers say the actor looks 20 or even 30 years younger.

@TriStarNetwork Don’t use “underrated” and Casey Clausen in the same sentence. A Vol fan with more than a casual interest appreciates him.

Why’s everyone talking about Casey Clausen today?

@TriStarNetwork The Iceman of the Southeastern Conference.

@MockingTheLeft @joshryanjames Blows everything away 🎉

@joshryanjames I don't care when or where this actually happened...if you grew up in the 1970's, the FACT that a US president steps out of AF1 to THAT song outta blow your mind.

Trump even has the Chinese playing “YMCA” With a marching band.

@JoshWalkos Really nothing to worry about. Imagine the hospital trying this case in front of a jury.

This guy is calling a hospital on behalf of a new mom who was charged $1,847,392 because her baby was premature and needed to stay alive long enough to come home. The itemized charges are dystopian. $37,464 for heel sticks on a premature infant, $58 every time a mother held her own baby skin-to-skin in the NICU, $312 for discharge teaching on how to sponge bathe a preemie and $27,590 for phototherapy lights. That’s before even getting into the NICU bed charges. Our medical system is one of the most corrupt, exploitative and evil rackets in the world.

@TheTNHoller Are you saying the Tennessee elections have been suspended? Great reporting.

National outlets beginning to realize how authoritarian Tennessee has become under Speaker Sexton and this Republican supermajority

@ns123abc The right to confront and cross examine witnesses is the linchpin of our judicial system. Glorious.

🚨 Under oath to the U.S. Senate, May 2023: Altman: "I have no equity in OpenAI." Today on the stand in federal court: Musk's lawyer: "Were you under oath at that hearing?" Altman: "Yes." Musk's lawyer: "And you didn't disclose to the Senate that you had an interest in OpenAI through a share in the Y Combinator fund, did you?" Altman: "I didn't mention it in that testimony." Musk's lawyer: "Are you going to notify the United States Senate that your testimony on May 16, 2023 was not truthful when you said, 'I have no equity in OpenAI?'" Altman: "I don't agree with that characterization." Musk's lawyer: "I'll take that as a no." TRUTH: When Altman told the U.S. Senate he had "no equity in OpenAI," he held two indirect equity stakes via Y Combinator and Sequoia. Neither was disclosed to the Senate that day.

@McCulloughFund WHO wants that ship to be an incubator.

@GeneBryant2 Strip out the Shelby County test scores from rest of the state and see how Tennessee education ranks. Won’t have that problem once Memphis secedes.

TN has had 0% job growth the last two fiscal years.... TN is last in education funding in the country.... Around 650,000 Tennesseans remain uninsured with no healthcare access.... Yet, after 15 years of Republican control, they think we want more.... yahoo.com/news/articles/…

@PpollingNumbers @zerohedge Really a stunner that this is all the Democrats have. It’s like all they have are kindergarteners.

@GeniusGTX “Dinner table” most important point.

Michael Dell says he became a billionaire because he refused to get off a bus. Michael Dell founded Dell Technologies at 19 in a UT Austin dorm room with $1,000. Forty-one years later, he's still CEO. Personal net worth: over $100 billion. He says the path started at 11. His mother had signed him up for Rice University's summer enrichment classes for young kids. Take the city bus. Get off at campus. Sit in a classroom. He took the bus. He didn't get off. In Dell's framing: "Okay, if I just stay on the bus, takes me all the way downtown to where the really tall buildings are." He rode past Rice. Past every stop. All the way downtown. He was 11. He walked into the Stock Exchange. Dell on what he saw: "I see they've got the Stock Exchange there and all these tickers going. I'm like, 'Wow, that's pretty cool.'" His parents talked financial markets at the dinner table. The bus made it real, Dell says — "it just sparked sort of this interest really early in life." Mom thought she'd signed him up for a Rice classroom. He'd signed himself up for the trading floor. That curiosity is what built Dell Technologies. What do you think? Share your thoughts below.
