The less expensive four year alternative to Jaylen Haralson. This recruitment is legit. He's going to be playing his last season with AZ Prep. I'm not sure if that's significantly more organized than AAU ball but it's a top 5 basketball factory. He's fits well with the Mullins Sisley time-line. I know Sisley left Heat to play with Elite because he likes winning and Haralson was a part of that.

Trump Tax Cuts Expiring after 2025

This will be addressed by the next president. Probably the biggest one expiring in my mind is the Qualified Business Income Deduction (QBID). This deduction allows pass through entities to exclude 20% of their profits from tax. Marginal tax rates big. The estate tax exemption amount goes to approximately $13.61 million for individuals and $27.22 for married couples in 2024. This will drop by about 1/2. This affects many more people than you would imagine.

@twenty02 what do you think

Progressive v. conservative views of the Constitution, government, and why it's hard to get things done in the US political system


Can a document unify a nation? Listen as Levin speaks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about how the Constitution not only took into account fractious politics, but also ensured that polarization would lead to a stronger democracy.

Topics include the inherent limitations placed on the majority and how that affects policy formation, the vital if misunderstood advantages of the electoral college, and why, despite all the warnings to the contrary, this is far from a dangerous moment in American political history.

when was Benjamin Netanyahu ever on a U.S. ballot

Biden all to tell him to kiss his ass and if the pubes had any backbone, they would support Biden instead of bringing the clown over here. for years Israel thumbs their nose at us, settlement building etc. and were supposed to just have an open checkbook and get bitched at if we don't give them what they want. like a spoiled child I don't get it

The Most Dangerous Class

The overeducated who have not reached the success they thought their education and intelligence would bring them are going to be at the forefront of leading this country to the left.

Minneapolis post Floyd. Quite an indictment on

Progressive policies and their lingering consequences. Interesting read. Surprised to see that from cnn

Happy Juneteenth!


I started reading this and thought "hey, something written for us to all rally around. Great." Then it turns into a campaign speech (gross), and then ends with this rhetoric:

On Juneteenth, may we celebrate the essence of freedom that galvanized the country, the progress we have made in our Nation, and all that is possible when we march forward together. May we all recommit to redeeming the very soul of America — choosing love over hate, unity over division, and progress over retreat. [Yay! Good stuff!]

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 19, 2024, as Juneteenth Day of Observance. I call upon the people of the United States to acknowledge and condemn the history of slavery in our Nation and recognize how the impact of America’s original sin remains. I call on every American to celebrate Juneteenth [weird; you're "calling" on people to "celebrate?" How about "honor" or "acknowledge?"] and recommit to working together to eradicate systemic racism and inequity in our society wherever they find it. [Oh boy. So we have to buy into the anti-racist theory of systemic racism (yes, that's what he's referring to) to buy into Juneteenth? Ugh--this kind of rhetoric, even if you believe it, drives division, not unity. Why not make it a way to celebrate the fact that the nation has advanced, improved on race relations, people who were not slaves fought and died and freed slaves and that that was a good thing?]
