Our Town Council keeps raising taxes. So I showed up with an English Lord’s wig to speak in *favor* of taxes. “If you can’t pay your taxes…don’t be poor.”

Bruce Fenton: Bitcoin Was Meant to Replace the Banks, Not Join Them | Free The Money Ep. 27 @brucefenton, CEO of Chainstone Labs, joins me on Free the Money for a big-picture conversation about where the world is heading next. We dive into Bruce’s journey from Morgan Stanley and 30 years in traditional finance into becoming one of Bitcoin’s earliest advocates, launching the legendary Satoshi Roundtable, and witnessing the rise of crypto from the front row. One of the most interesting parts of this conversation was hearing how Bruce has consistently been able to spot major technological shifts — from launching the first finance-related website on the internet in 1994, to recognizing the significance of Bitcoin back in 2012, to now studying the transformative impact AI will have on the world. We discuss the Fourth Turning, the block size wars, the changing culture of Bitcoin, and why Bruce believes the industry has drifted away from its original cypherpunk roots. We also dive into the expansion of financial surveillance through AML/KYC laws, the criminalization of privacy tools, and why developers building open-source privacy technology are increasingly being targeted by regulators and prosecutors. Bruce also shares thoughtful advice on independent thinking, creativity, challenging authority, and why taking action and staying curious may be more important now than ever before.

Let this sink in .. @SenWarren receives FROM TAXPAYERS 6.6 million for her administrative staff and office expense allowance ..

$30 billion is enough to pay the INTEREST on the National DEBT for about 11 days. Meanwhile stealing 3% of unrealized gains would cause massive issues and financial and job loss. Pure economic ignorance.

This is a child like view of the world. “Gift more money to politicians and people won’t be hungry.” Children being hungry in the USA is not a statistically significant problem. Stealing more wages from workers to give to government won’t solve anything.

Elizabeth Warren has WAY more than $12 million. There are all sorts of loopholes insiders use in reporting

Elon may have earned one trillion but Elizabeth Warren has voted on spending well over $30 trillion. THIRTY TRILLION DOLLARS Main difference is that Warren’s spending is not voluntary but comes from involuntary taxation backed by force.

How do people not see that this is what Israel wants of the whole Middle East and the whole world if they could get away with it? How many do they need to murder for you to recognize them as murderers?

The poster’s bio says “former IDF soldier”. This is the level of stupidity, depravity and low information propaganda that the people pulling the triggers and dropping the bombs believe. They really do think they are the good guys and that those they murder are sub human.

You paid for this limo. You paid for the driver. You paid for the person holding the camera. You paid for whoever wrote the script for her. Warren’s personal entourage costs taxpayers $5 million a year and she votes for spending 500 times that every year.

Trillionaire hate = economic illiteracy

This clown has never built anything in his life. Bernie is a lazy bum who has lived off the wages of the workers his entire life to the tune of millions. Worse yet, he’s spent billions more of your money. A parasite who could never build a business: core competency is grift.

Reminder: Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren vote to spend more of your money every six months than everything Elon has ever built and earned in his life combined.

RFK Jr. is leaving the Trump admin. This will be one of many and his shrinking list of loyalists will shrink further as he enters his lame duck period. Trump’s peak popularity is far in the rear view mirror and will only swindle from here. He will either not compete his term or will end it in disgrace. His legacy will be one of grift, failure and betrayal.

Tucker Carlson alleges that through bribes, assassination attempts, spying, and political pressure, Israel has forced Trump into war with Iran that he can’t get out of. Carlson has noted that Trump shut down his own investigation into the Butler Assassination Attempt, was terrified of Bibi Netanyahu giving him a golden pager, and that, despite his best efforts, Trump has been steadily slow-walked into a war with Iran against his will. Carlson has also alleged that Charlie Kirk, a chief opponent of war against Iran, was assassinated as part of a broader plot, with Israel covering it up, despite believing Tyler Robinson’s involvement. Carlson pointed to Joe Kent and numerous attempts made by Israel not only to spy on Trump, but to hinder “first responders” that would help Trump in an assassination attempt. Examining the war, Tucker points out that the US has spent more on defending Israel than on the Gulf states, and more defending Israel that it has spent on its own defense. Follow: @AFpost

I messed with my Gen Z kids by randomly telling them I was a big fan of Clavicular

Ten years ago today:

The reason I talk about Israel is not because it’s fun or because I gain something from it. It’s because I believe it must be talked about. It’s not only the ethical and moral issue of our time, it’s directly related to America and our sovereignty and to economics, prosperity and freedom.
