Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815.
Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the crusades. We weren't at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer. Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did.
Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”

We order a new Ford Maverick.
Dealer calls and said they got financing approved but it’s a high rate so they recommend we put more down and in the future get approved for the Ford credit line to make things easier.
I ask the rate.
12.99%
I say let’s pause on the deal and let me make a few calls.
5 mins later the phone rings.
They magically got it down to 8.49%.
Don’t let these guys try to screw you over.

Everything about her is fake.
Fake moderate.
Fake views on gerrymandering.
Fake basketball fan.
Total fraud.

If you want to see something incredibly cringe, just watch this video of Abigail Spanberger attempting to relate to the common folk by talking about March Madness.

@DefiantLs She wants to waste our hard-earned tax dollars on other things, like daycares and hospice care centers... oh wait. Does she think America is a superpower despite defense spending?

“People are frustrated, they don't feel safe, and they don't feel served."
A new city survey suggests many Cincinnati residents are increasingly unhappy with city government and less likely to feel safe.

@KurtSupeCPA How much was spent raising the daughter? How many millions? Children deserve nothing more from their parents after they become adults. Embarrassing.

Couple comes in for their annual review.
$2.8 million. Well invested. Solid Pension. Completely on track.
I ask the question I ask everyone.
"How is your daughter doing?"
Mom's face changed first.
Their daughter is 39. Hasn't asked for anything. Never complained.
But she's been in the same apartment for six years.
Daycare alone is $1,800 a month. Down payment feels impossible.
Dad said "we always figured she'd get it eventually."
I pulled up a simple chart.
Statistically they live to 88. She inherits at 56. Maybe 60.
At 60 her own retirement is eight years away.
The money that could change everything at 39 arrives when her finish line is already close.
Neither of them had ever seen it framed that way.
The annual gift exclusion is $19,000 per parent per child.
They can move $38,000 a year to her. No gift tax. No estate implications.
Over ten years that's $380,000 transferred while they're healthy enough to watch it matter.
Dad looked at his wife.
"Why are we waiting?"
Most families leave everything at death because nobody showed them the math of giving it while they're alive.
