While everyone's once again on the whole "USAA is garbage" warpath (they are), it's time once again for me to share a little story from 2013: As some of you know, I do computer security stuff. Not just professionally, but for fun. One day in December 2013, I got some spam email. It was a phish. Purporting to be from USAA. Since I was taking 2 years off from working (voluntarily; I'd just gotten married and wanted to focus on me for a while), I had ample time on my hands. So, I started digging. Long story short: I located the threat actor -- full name, address, photo, front door, and all his infrastructure. I infiltrated that, and obtained full details of every USAA customer he's successfully tricked into handing over everything: PII, credentials, account details, credit/debit card info, the works. Along with his other campaigns running, pretending to be other banks. I packaged this all up professionally and approached the appropriate people in USAA about it. Explained who I was, that I'd done this professionally for decades, that I'd been a long-standing customer of USAA, etc. I was told, in no uncertain terms -- in fact, in these exact words -- "It's our policy not to pursue fraud". I was a bit taken aback. I had to have them repeat, and then explain that. I couldn't've possibly heard that right. Here I was, a security professional, handing them a fairly large threat actor on a silver platter, along with a decent-sized list of USAA customers that either had been victims of fraud, or were about to be. And they not only said they weren't interested, but that they intended to do quite literally nothing. Absolutely nothing. Earlier that year they'd stopped underwriting motorcycle policies, so I had already pulled my auto and bike insurance from them. So, I spent Christmas Eve night that year (because I wasn't about to wait) sitting in the office of a local bank opening new accounts, transferring everything out of USAA. The following week we took it to the State Police. They were interested, but had no idea what to do with the information, even after I politely suggested various avenues to pursue. And I was talking with the officer who was in charge of "all the computer stuff". The report remains on file. The threat actor remains at large. His victims remain screwed. USAA doesn't give two shits about you, and hasn't for quite some time.

@sarahadams @malcolmkenyatta He is retarded.

@malcolmkenyatta You get the government has your SSN already 🤣

DOGE didn’t do shit but steal our social security numbers.

Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland in January, with military support from France, Germany, and Nordic nations, per DR

JUST IN: Former FBI Director James Comey subpoenaed in Florida's grand conspiracy probe into Crossfire Hurricane abuses. The same grand jury Mike Davis flagged last October is now subpoeaning key players who targeted Trump with the Russia hoax. It's happening.

ONE MAN decides if the SAVE America Act passes. @LeaderJohnThune If he strictly enforces the 2-Speech Limit, it passes. If he does not. It dies. John Thune needs to know that Americans realize this. He needs to know that his legacy is FOREVER TIED to this bill. If it passes, he is a legend. Forever. If it dies, he is a dismal failure. Forever. No "budget reconciliations" to get the vote to 50 which would bloat the deficit and/or be rejected under the Byrd Rule. No invoking cloture to "get Democrats on the record." That is all utter nonsense. Strictly enforce the 2-speech rule for bills returning to the Senate. That is all that needs doing. If Senators and the public share the message that SAVE America, for better or worse, is his legacy he will come around.

Testing… do you see this?

@BoFrenchTX Agreed

You cannot reform people like this. They just need to be permanently removed from society. Since X censors my posts calling for hanging people like this, even though Elon can apparently say it, I am calling for any of the more cost effective methods of doing so.

@drivingoutlaw @SawyerMerritt I didn’t buy a HW3 vehicle for a reason.

NEWS: The NHTSA has announced that its has upgraded the probe into Tesla's FSD (Supervised) in low-visibility conditions to what’s known as an “engineering analysis.” It’s a step that is often required before the agency tells a company to issue a OTA recall, but does not automatically mean that the NHTSA will issue a OTA recall. The NHTSA said its engineering analysis follows an earlier preliminary review and broadens the probe to about 3.2 million ​Tesla vehicles across multiple models equipped with the system, covering most vehicles on U.S. roads.

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.

🚨#BREAKING: A South Carolina mother just shared one of the most disturbing school gender transition stories I've read in a long time. Her 14-year-old son attended Beech Springs Middle School in Spartanburg SC. For OVER A YEAR, he was changing into girls' clothing at school, and changing back before his mom picked him up. It was apparently a daily operation, coordinating with another student to bring the clothes, multiple bathroom trips, and deliberate concealment from his parents every single day. Multiple staff members at school had to have seen this. You don't pull off daily clothing changes in a middle school without teachers noticing. But NOBODY called home to tell his parents. Nobody except one teacher. One teacher the previous year did her job, she noticed, she called the mom, and she followed South Carolina law H.4624, which explicitly requires school staff to notify parents when a student expresses gender identity confusion. That call is the only reason the family found out at all. They got their son into gender-related counseling over the summer of 2025. They were engaged, they were involved, they were actively trying to help their kid navigate something difficult. Then the school went silent again. The pattern continued into the next school year and nobody said a word. Fast forward to February 2026. The mom gets her son's hair cut. He cries in class. His teacher sits with him for 10 minutes while he tells her everything, that he wants long hair like a girl, that his parents won't affirm his gender identity, all of it. Again, South Carolina law H.4624 exists for exactly this moment. When a student expresses gender identity distress to a school employee, the law says the school SHALL notify the parents. But the teacher didn't call the mom. She called DSS. That same day, February 13, 2026, she filed a child protective services report against this family for "medical neglect..." Medical neglect because A) the boy allegedly coughed up blood and wasn't receiving care. B) Mental injury because the parents won't affirm a gender transition. And... I'm not even kidding C) making him do "manly chores." The mom asked her son what that meant. He said "cutting the grass." DSS showed up at their home on Valentine's Day weekend. Two days later, the family took their son and got a chest x-ray. His lungs were completely clear. He never coughed up blood. The allegation was fabricated. On February 19th, five days after the report was filed, DSS closed the case. Unfounded. No evidence of medical neglect. No evidence of mental injury. Nothing. So just to recap... A teacher had a 10-minute conversation with a 14-year-old, decided his parents' refusal to affirm a gender transition constituted child abuse, invented or wildly exaggerated a medical claim to make the report actionable, violated state law by never calling the parents, and weaponized DSS on a family over Valentine's Day weekend. And the school's response? The principal wrote back defending the teacher. Called the DSS report "appropriate based on medical neglect suspicion." The report that was closed completely unfounded in five days. The report based on a medical claim that was disproven with a chest x-ray. That report. Appropriate The principal also mentioned that staff had received "gender identity training" and that the school followed "applicable South Carolina statutes." But the H.4624 violation, the actual law that was actually broken, was never addressed. Not once. The superintendent promised a full investigation by a Chief Administrative Officer. Instead, the principal, the direct supervisor of the teacher in question, provided the only written response, and used it to defend her own employee. This school watched a student secretly change genders during the school day for over a year and chose not to tell his mother. That's not an accident. You don't miss daily clothing changes in a middle school. They saw it. They allowed it. They made a decision, collectively and repeatedly, that the parents didn't need to know. Then when that same family's values came up in a conversation, the response wasn't to pick up the phone and call mom like the law requires. The response was to report them for child abuse. The silence for a year and the DSS report aren't two separate events. They're the same event. They both reflect the same institutional decision: we know better than these parents, and we will act accordingly, whether that means hiding things from them or weaponizing the state against them. This family did everything right. They got their son counseling. They stayed engaged. They were present. They got a chest x-ray to disprove a fabricated allegation. DSS came into their home, looked at how they parent, and walked out five days later with literally nothing. But the school is STILL calling it appropriate. The mom has filed complaints with both the school and the South Carolina Department of Education. The school defended the teacher. The state has been silent for over a month. Her son is now homeschooled, by the way and she says he's thriving. The school literally weaponized the state against a family for cutting their son's hair. Let that sink in.

@WilliamShatner Very few gas cars can surpass 500 miles on a tank of fuel. Few maybe an understatement, only 6 cars sold in the US can do it. (Gas only, no hybrid, no diesel, no trucks)

When Tesla’s get to 500 miles per charge; I’ll think about one. BTW there’s an app that allows Waze to work. 🙄 #thinkIdontknow? 🥱😑

🚨 JUST IN: Support is SURGING for passing the SAVE America Act to prevent blue states from rigging elections Sen. John Kennedy is now pushing to make it part of reconciliation so it can be passed with ONLY 50 VOTES Democrats and Chuck Schumer are getting DESPERATE to block it. The GOP should get tough and push full-steam ahead. Pull out any and ALL mechanisms to get this to President Trump's desk!

@wonderbondmma If it was bare knuckle rules I would say Perry.

@wonderbondmma Diaz and it will be similar to the Cerrone fight.

Early predictions?

@Mileage_impo Y

What car would you trust to get you to 300,000 miles (482,803 km) ?

@KeruboSk There were people that use an alarm on a regular basis? Just wake up.

Apparently there are people who wake up before their alarm… and just get up. Just one alarm. No snooze. No struggle. Explain yourselves. How do you do that?

USAA. Founded by Army officers. Built to serve military families. Laid off almost 600 American employees in a single round while posting a record $7.9 billion profit. The Heritage Foundation flagged USAA for hiring H-1B workers through outsourcing firms like Tata and HCL. Patriotism is the brand. Outsourcing is the business model.

@briandstone Ours is very reasonable.

Why in the world is Consumer Reports quoting these insane, unrealistic insurance rates for Teslas? I’ve never heard of anyone paying $400/mo to insure a Model 3.

@JoshWest247 @ChatCharge Just had to charge up in Mercedes-Benz land to tweak them a bit, didn’t ya?!
