“Not true!”

Not necessarily. Just the pass-through deduction for S-Corps, LLCs and similar structures alone places an $80 billion burden annually on lower income households. And it increases the deficit, driving up the cost of borrowing.

What Schmitt overlooked was that Jack Smith and Fani Willis actually met at the airport and secretly tapped out messages to each other’s shoes in adjoining bathroom stalls. He could’ve salvaged his VP dream.

The faces of Schmitt and his staffer found themselves in a red state. Schmitt realized he blew his chance to be JD’s running mate.

Just west of Sacramento. And, yes, it’s fitting that little bobblehead Jesus is in this pic, ‘cause we’re all gonna need spiritual help paying $5.83/gal for gas.

I was looking for Steve Young's book on bookshop.org and this shows up in the results as well.

Album o' da Day
Fugazi's 13 Songs is more than just an essential punk primer; it’s one of the greatest rock albums of all time.

OAI said it ran roughly 10,000 agents at once on a model “significantly more capable” than GPT-6 Astra, spending “millions of dollars" to solve a $1 million math problem. The model is most likely unsafe or it would be released.

Some might call it Fallsum, but by the time any argument was settled all 3 days of it would be over! Yesterday, on the Mo’, staying just ahead of a storm because of 30 mph downstream winds.

Reminiscent of (but far worse than) Goya’s painting of the inbred Spanish Royal Family, where “the painter, with a grim smile, points at them and says, ‘Look at them and judge for yourself.’”

The military, Secret Service agents, commercial pilots, school bus drivers and air traffic controllers all must periodically demonstrate they are well enough to perform their work. Why not the President?

I sent Yenor this:
Dr. Yenor, I utterly disagree with your position on women in sports - whether at the high school, collegiate or professional level. As the proud parent of two Stanford students, I credit much of their success to taking on the challenges of athletic competition. My daughter, who has maintained a 3.96 GPA in a demanding pre-med curriculum, learned how to challenge herself as a varsity standout in pole vault and volleyball while in high school. Her brother, captain of his soccer team, had no more right than she to fully develop the character and bravery that comes with physical competition.
I will also state that there is not a woman I've talked to from my mother's generation that would have turned down the opportunity to continue in sports. There is a profound difference in my and subsequent generations in those women who have had such opportunities. The mother of my children played semi-professional basketball in Germany, graduated from Yale Medical School and yet managed to give birth to and raise three amazing kids.
I urge you to reconsider your position and beliefs on this matter. Your current research and publications for the Heritage Foundation are only a detriment to society and to the ultimate strength of the United States of America.

A Ninth Circuit panel ridiculed Montana’s anti-drag law by citing Mulan as an example. State lawyers could not explain how a Disney movie wouldn’t fit its vague definitions.

I don’t disagree. Up by Flathead Lake and the air quality is terrible. I highly recommend Watch Duty (which is what professional wildland firefighters I know use). It’s better and nationwide.

Recently, a tragedy occurred not far from where I live. Gene’s family found this poem (the only one he wrote) in an old field book full of quotes:
To all who receive these thoughts
I offer my respect
and ask that you be with me
to help me find the courage
to be all that I can
the wisdom to understand
what I must do
and what I may become
the strength and perseverance
to so do and become
Let my way be one
of peace with all creatures
harmony with all things
of joy in this life as I find it

Under Trump, aluminum prices are 6X higher than 2 years ago. This is a huge expense for manufacturers and consumers.
