@Cryptoboyy_Aji Imagine paying off your mortgage and you can throw 2-3k a month into investments. You’ll come out so much further ahead with no payments.

CALLER: i opened a High Yield Savings Account. my $20,000 emergency fund earns 4.5% interest. that’s $900 a year doing nothing.
DAVE RAMSEY: get rid of it. put that $20,000 toward your mortgage!
CALLER: but i’m earning $900 a year for free.
DAVE RAMSEY: debt is the enemy! pay off the house!
CALLER: my mortgage rate is 3%. i’m earning 4.5%.
DAVE RAMSEY: that’s not how you get rich!
in reality, if your savings rate beats your debt rate, keep the cash. that’s called arbitrage.
every dollar matters.

@JerseyDigs Fun fact; @jerseymikes is indirectly responsible for my full ride to college. My manager wrote a recommendation letter for one of N. Carolina’s scholarships, and completely changed the trajectory of my life. So I buy a #8 Mike’s Way or #56 Cali Style every so often to say thanks!

@SenatorBanks And Trump is heading to China….i hope he brings this up in the meeting. What a joke.
English
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) had a Chinese spy in her office.
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) dated a Chinese spy.
Mayor Eileen Wang (D-CA) is a Chinese spy.
How many more?
Fox News@FoxNews
NEW: California mayor resigns after being charged with acting as an illegal agent of China. Eileen Wang has agreed to plead guilty as she faces up to 10 years in prison, according to federal prosecutors. They say she secretly worked to advance pro-Beijing messaging in the U.S., allegedly spreading propaganda tied to the Chinese government.

@Variety Tony mentioned shoes….so this doesn’t work

Michael Che was originally slated to perform at "The Roast of Kevin Hart," but he ended up pulling out due to scheduling difficulties with “SNL.”
Now, Che is taking to social media to air some grievances about the event:
“White guys and Black people joke different. Black guy roast like, ‘look at this n—- shoes!’ White roasts are like, ‘Slavery, math, slain teens, sex crimes, slurs, family secrets.’ White guys don’t give a f*ck about they shoes.”

🇺🇸 A Tennessee cop got punched in the head mid-arrest of a suspect, when a random bystander jumped in to help him finish the job.
Most people would've just filmed it.
Greatly done.

@BreidenFehoko @Filmwatchers1 77 belongs in jail for attempted murder all last year on his own teammates. Horrible player.

Aye man a lot of people hating on @Filmwatchers1 and while he won’t get everything right but this dude be putting out good shit. Keep up the good work.

@ShamsCharania @AdamSchefter Who was the second openly gay active player? Dwight Howard?

13-year NBA veteran Jason Collins has died at 47 years old after a battle with Stage 4 glioblastoma. Collins was the first active, openly gay player in NBA history. RIP.

For everyone asking whether democratic socialism works, this outcome is the answer. New York City doesn’t have to balance the books on the backs of working people. Thanks to @NYCMayor, @SpeakerMenin, and the advocacy of @nycDSA, we’re taxing the rich and closing the $12 billion budget gap without slashing services or raiding city reserves.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
When we came into office, we uncovered a $12 billion budget deficit. Today, I’m proud to say we brought it down to zero. We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing. Call it Pothole Politics. Call it Democratic Socialism. It's government that delivers for the people who make this city run. That’s what New Yorkers deserve. And that’s what we will keep fighting for every single day.

@TheSaurus831 Which comedian did you find the funniest at the roast?

Can’t process how braindead someone would have to be to find Tony Hinchcliffe funny

@irnaggie @P_Kallioniemi No she’s just completely wrong. You were ALWAYS required by law to sign up. It’s just done automatically now.
English
@really_rational @P_Kallioniemi Do you see how you're basically making her case? Both you--and she--are conflating Draft with Selective Service registration. It's intentional on her part, to induce fear, and encourage resistance to the Administration. "Words mean things" - Rush Limbaugh
English
Chelsea Handler: “Now that your favorite leader is making the draft mandatory, I assume all of you will be signing up to go fight in Iran. Or do you tough alpha males only go to the Middle East for comedy festivals?”
Brutal.
English
My response to Ariel Helwani -The entire fight week you chastised Sean and made it a point to talk about how he went “too far” how you didn’t agree with what he was saying in the press conferences and now you’re upset he apologized? Being a man is also taking accountability for what you say when you’re wrong and Sean is man enough to do that and he did it on a world stage. In a time when we need less division ESPECIALLY with the HUMAN RIGHTS CRISIS going on between Israel and Palestine wouldn’t you want to see two people of separate beliefs and religion come together and make amends? And now you make a joke of it? And let’s not forget, things were said on both sides and in the end all you saw was love and respect between Sean and Khamzat. Two absolute warriors making peace after one of the biggest blood wars in the last decade … weird hill to die on Ariel.
English
@irnaggie @P_Kallioniemi And what is selective service without a draft? Nothing. It’s literally nothing 😃
English
@really_rational @P_Kallioniemi You're apparently at about the same IQ level as Handler, and need to learn what "The Draft" is. It ended in the early '70s and hasn't come back. At first, I thought you simply misspoke...now I'm pretty sure you're you're an insolent half-wit

@JohnCornyn @realDonaldTrump I got your mailers with you and Trump. It’s too little too late bud. Time to drop out and retire.

I am proud to introduce legislation to rename US Highway 287 as Interstate 47 in honor of our 47th President @realDonaldTrump.
My bill will upgrade one of our nation’s longest highways to a future interstate and save more than $5 BILLION in travel costs, all while honoring the most effective and influential president of our lifetime.
Texas is Trump Country & this bill cements @POTUS’ legacy by designating nearly 1,800 miles of open road to forever be known as the Trump Interstate 🇺🇸

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, introduced legislation Monday to designate US Highway 287 as a future interstate highway named in honor of President Donald Trump. cbsaustin.com/news/local/cor…

Nick Wright on the debate if LeBron James tenure in LA was a success:
“LeBron the record is 8 years with the Lakers, 7 trips to the playoffs. 2 seasons where they made a conference finals and 1 championship. And you’re going to have folks today earnestly genuinely try to argue that LeBron Lakers tenure was a failure. To which I would simply say or ask and don’t even add I’m not even asking you to add any age related qualifiers to it. Has Giannis 13 year Bucks career been a failure? Because in those 13 years, Giannis has 1 trip to the finals, 1 championship, and 1 trip to another conference finals and that’s the exact same thing as Bron in his 8 with the Lakers.”

@theliamnissan @trumpsterbtc It’s not “necessary” at all. Even if you allowed exemptions for rape and incest you’d cut down “necessary” abortions by more than 99%…that’s what we need to do. Abortion is clearly murder.
English
@trumpsterbtc Listen nobody "likes" abortion but it's a necessary medical procedure for hundreds of thousands of women. If you opposed abortion so much you would help distribute birth control meds and condoms, but you don't because you like exploiting wedge issues
English
Fun Fact: Thomas Massie is a gun nut who wants to ban abortion nationwide. He's a terrible candidate despite his stance on the Epstein files.

@hwinkler4real All whites. It’s interesting isn’t it….

@breakfastclubam @LorenLorosa Where’s your righteous indignation on the Charlie Kirk jokes? Are you fucking nothing but race hustlers? That’s all you care about is race.

🚨Sheryl Underwood speaks out about the “inappropriate jokes” made during the Kevin Hart Roast and makes it clear that roast jokes aren’t meant for mainstream consumption. “Sometimes political correctness doesn’t fit in comedy.” Tap into the latest w/ @lorenlorosa !

@iamrahstradamus Translation: don’t talk to black people

White people have to be stopped with this shit. Please learn the culture of the people who play the game you’re covering. Black men don’t give a shit about your favorite baseball teams when wearing a fitted.
Out of all the questions I could have asked Harden after tonight, this would have never crossed my mind.

Reporter: "Angels cap because they're in town this week?" James Harden: “I don’t know who playing who, nothing. I wasn’t watching TV or nothing. I just wake up and do the same thing everyday. Practice everyday.” 😭😭😭
