@AlboMP So be careful business owners, don't work so hard that you crack the $10m.. Back off and keep your money. Why the hell would you want to go harder if the gov is just going to steal half of every dollar you earn after $10m

We're lifting the turnover threshold from $2 million to $10 million, so all active small businesses qualify for the 50% capital gains tax discount. That’s in addition to existing generous tax concessions for small businesses that will not change, and new small business supports announced in the Budget. And we're continuing to work with startups to make sure Australia is the best place to build something new. A fair crack for first home buyers, and tax cuts for working people are at the heart of our reforms and that won’t change.

@ricochet_888 Nope, he's a toxic moron.. Stay away!

I’m not sure about this one 🤔 Kyle is good at putting his foot in his mouth don’t know if Pauline needs this..; Any thoughts?

Don't be a hater. The guy just made over 4000 people become millionaires. And tens of thousands of people have jobs. Plus, it's not like he's Scrooge McDuck sitting on a pile of gold. It's not cash in the bank. And if sold any of his shares, he would destroy the companies and thousands of jobs would go. What have you done this week to make others lives better?

Are you deeply outraged that, while hundreds of millions of Americans and I are struggling financially, Elon Musk has now become the world's first trillionaire, with more wealth than he could spend in 1,000 lifetimes? A. YES B. NO

Hey everybody, check out how incredibly idiotic Anderson Cooper and Kara Swisher are. January, 2025. After Elon Musk put out some posts bringing attention to the grooming gangs scandal in the UK, Anderson Cooper claimed that Musk was dredging up a decades old scandal in which about 1,400 kids were abused. Swisher said that Musk was meddling and putting out misinformation because he wanted attention. I'm sure they will both apologize. 😜

@captive_dreamer not "forever" just until Iran finally understand there's no way back. Financially crushing them is a slower way of forcing their complete surrender. Better than more bombs and rockets. They're virually broke now. So they can't hold out much longer.

Lots of internet pundits seem to think we should be blockading Iran...forever? In what universe is that feasible, let alone desirable?

@MattWalshBlog And eventually will take over and get the nuclear codes.

I’m America First all the way but through my study of history I’ve really come to admire the British Empire and what it achieved over the course of centuries. It was undoubtedly a force for good in the world, and the men they sent out to colonize the planet were some of the most noble, brave, and manly to ever live. That’s why it pains me to see this once mighty nation brought to its knees by the barbarian hordes — an army of invaders who didn’t, and couldn’t, defeat them on the battlefield, but were rather let in the front door and given free rein to rape British daughters and slaughter British sons in the street. Very sad to see. What a tragic conclusion. And so totally preventable.

@Acyn Can tell that most of the negative Nelly's in here have never owned a swimming pool and had to maintain the chemical balance or fight algea.

CNN: CNN independently took the sample of water and consulted with the pool store that regularly tests water to help read the results. It showed phosphate levels far higher than what is recommended to keep algae at bay, based on estimates for a pool that holds 6.5 million gallons of water. “If there's already some phosphate fertilizer in the water, that's really opportunistic, especially for the blue green algae that can fix nitrogen. So they are having a field day out here.”

@therealjcwilson @SenWarren So you would get 1 years worth of taxes, because a millionaire would not be one in the next financial year. Well done.. what could go wrong.

@SenWarren I think anyone who has a net worth of over a million dollars should have to pay 60% a year in taxes.

If Elon Musk paid my ultra-millionaire wealth tax, we could pay for child care for all three and four year olds in America.

@SenWarren You're obsessed with Elon, he's not going to date you.

@MikaelsAmerica @Breaking911 So it’s ok for club sanctioned religious statements but not personal statements? Doesn’t sound right to me.

Nothing wrong with not allowing personal messages on uniforms. I agree with MLB here. Because they are not approved. MLB has approved pride themed uniforms. But the players also have a choice to not wear pride themed uniforms. If it means that much to them, just don’t wear the pride stuff. Making a mountain out of a molehill here.

MLB has reportedly warned players that writing Bible verses on team hats will not be permitted after several San Francisco Giants pitchers wrote bible verses on their Pride Night caps.

@mirandamelendy @mazemoore No. But it hasn’t been lost entirely like the US where paying first is the most secure way to prevent theft. I guess other countries still use the honor system because there’s still a belief that most people are honest.

@ImGoodThankYou @mazemoore So the trust isn't really there then.

This morning I dropped my daughter off at school and then went to get gas. I was paying cash so I went into Sheetz. It was busy so I waited in line and then finally paid. "Forty dollars on pump twelve." I went to my truck and the pump wasn't working. It took me a couple minutes but eventually I figured it out. I was pump eleven. I had told the cashier the wrong number. No idea how that happened but it did. About the same time I figured it out a guy pulled up to pump twelve in an older BMW with tinted windows. I went over before he even got out of his car and knocked on the drivers window. He rolled down the window and I told him the mistake I had just made, that I had prepaid for pump twelve instead of eleven, and that I was going inside to correct my mistake. He told me "No problem." I waited in line and finally when it was my turn I told the cashier that I had told him the wrong pump number. He told me that the gas was being pumped as we speak. I went back outside and went to pump twelve and saw that the guy was almost finished pumping the forty dollars that I had just paid for. I said "WTF man" and he just kept looking forward and continued pumping until the forty dollars had been used. What kind of society are we living in? Why are there so many crazy people with no morals at all? For a second I thought about grabbing the pump while he was filling his car. Actually, if you've seen the movie Homefront then you know more accurately what I was thinking. But who the hell knows if the guy is going to take out a gun and blow your head off. I went back into the gas station and gave them another forty dollars for gas. Credit to Sheetz. The manager came over and told me that he heard what happened and offered to comp me $40 of gas. I told him thank you but no, it was my boneheaded mistake not theirs.

@mirandamelendy @mazemoore I'm sure they do for the most part.

@ImGoodThankYou @mazemoore Do the "civilised" countries use cameras and license plate recognition at filling stations? I bet they do.

@CollinRugg Magnificent!

UFC Freedom 250 has kicked off on the White House’s South Lawn on President Trump's 80th birthday. There are about 4,300 people in attendance for the event. The UFC reportedly spent about $60 million on the event, along with $700,000 spent on grass repairs following the fights. The "claw" in the middle is about 90 feet high above the octagon, weighing about 600 tons.

@RapidResponse47 Nobody was hurt when the Apache was shot down either.. So I guess it's OK for one military to respond, but not another?

I think possibly the best thing about Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire is how angry it makes a bunch of losers who've never built a thing in their lives.

The African immigrant on the left has founded seven companies, directly and indirectly created 800,000 good paying jobs, created thousands of new American millionaires, developed reusable orbital rockets and brain chips that are giving independence to paraplegics, saved free speech, and can’t stop talking about how much he loves America. The African immigrant on the right married her brother to commit immigration fraud, facilitated the theft of money intended to feed hungry kids, has used government to enrich herself, praises terrorists, and can’t stop talking about how much she hates America. Leftists want the African immigrant on the left punished with punitive taxes and deported, but will try to run over law enforcement and get shot in the face in support of the African immigrant on the right.

Sports and America go hand in hand.. Not only the best in most sports, but also highest viewship. Makes sense to me that the 250th is celebrated with the USA's best sport right now. People will always find something to complain about. But everyone that pays to view and all in attendance will have an awesome time.

@JoshReynolds24 Andrew Jackson literally killed a man in a duel and became President Save your faux outrage for people who are stupid enough to be convinced by it.

I still am struggling to wrap my head around the fact this is actually happening… Don’t care what your political views are, EVERYONE should be absolutely embarrassed & ashamed that this is happening at the Lincoln Memorial & White House. What a joke.

@SwipeWright Oh you found all the wildlife experts.. LOL X is an amazing source of knowledge..

To the people telling me that the mother will now reject the fawn because it smells like a human, that's a complete myth. The mother will accept it just fine.

While mowing the lawn around a tree, this days-old fawn I didn't see jumped up and fled when I got too close. It could barely walk, let alone run, and it stopped on the side of a road out in the open sun and laid down. That's not a very safe place for a fawn. So I carried it to a nearby tree away from the road with good cover at the base, in a spot where all the adult deer pass by so it should see it's mom when she returns. This thing is so darn cute it hurts.

Worse of that what? Now? Because everything that has been done so far is working so well? This is the problem, everyone pussy foots around the issue with PC policies and soft glove approach. It's time to try something different. Give all Australians the support and dignity they deserve. Neither Lab or Lib/Nat have done anything to solve or even improve the issue.

I think you might want to check Pauline's views on Aboriginal policy. Just do me a favour and read. You might be worse off don't drink the kool aide is all. If your decision doesn't change after knowing where she stands then I respect that. But I'm pretty sure she's not really for closing any gaps or respecting land rights and continuing government subsidies. Which you are entitled to and absolutely should get.
