If you look at the US, the blue states are experiencing a recession, the policies are backfiring. Ford is now going to sell cars on Amazon. Trump wants to make life cheaper for Americans.  Investors are liquidating their Bitcoin positions pushing the price down.  The [CB] is the root of all evil. The fake news continues with their fake stories in regard to the illegals. The D's fell right into the trap that Trump set, they are exposing the Epstein files and clearing Trumps name and implicating themselves. They are now panicking. Trump is now beginning to separate the RINOS from MAGA, this is all in preparation for the midterms, Trump is also beginning to set the narrative for the Presidential race. Trump mission is to take the country back, the [DS] mission is to try to stop him, nothing can stop this.   Economy Trump Withdraws Nominee for Top IRS Lawyer Donald Korb served in the Bush administration from 2004 to 2008.

High leverage in derivatives markets (funding rates flipped negative) created a cascade: one sell triggered stops, pulling prices lower and wiping out more positions. Weekend and low-volume trading exacerbated the drop—daily spot volume fell to $2 billion (vs. $50 billion peaks in 2021), making BTC vulnerable to amplified moves. A CME futures gap at $92K was filled, adding technical fuel. Sentiment gauges like the Fear & Greed Index hit "extreme fear" (score: 18), spurring retail panic. Notably, on-chain data reveals no major spot selling—exchanges hold fewer BTC now than at the peak—suggesting this is a "synthetic" flush via derivatives, not fundamental dumping. Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of $1.1 billion over the past 48 hours—the largest weekly redemptions since March 2025—driven by institutions like BlackRock's IBIT and Fidelity's FBTC. This reversed months of inflows that had propped up prices earlier in the year. https://twitter.com/ColonelTowner/status/1989700368951906382?s=20   Political/Rights https://twitter.com/CMDROpAtLargeCA/status/1990435847611552052?s=20 https://twitter.com/DHSgov/status/1990414982060581351?s=20   removal by an immigration judge from November 4, 2014.

It’s a headline three decades in the making. The executor of the O.J. Simpson estate has publicly acknowledged it owes $58 million dollars to the family of Ron Goldman, but the most the family might ever see would be between $500,000 and $1,000,000, and even that might be a long shot. The Goldman’s have to essentially “get in line” with other creditors, including the IRS, following the death of Simpson last year. This all stems from the civil case where Simpson was found liable for the deaths of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson, the jury awarding the families $33.5 million dollars at the time. Right now, Simpson’s estate is auctioning off Simpson’s remaining memorabilia to try and raise enough cash to pay down its debts, but turned down a very high profile offer from Kim Kardashian, who was looking to purchase a very sentimental item for her family.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Charlie Kirk was Mossad executed the second he turned on the Jewish billionaires and their Epstein pedo-blackmail protecting Trump and Netanyahu. We're exposing this Israeli child trafficking syndicate and their Satanic grip on America. They have turned the entire sky into one giant death spraying gas chamber, showering your kids with aluminum, barium, and God only knows what while steering trillion dollar kill storms right into the heart of conservative America. Ariana Masters joins us with 75 years of bulletproof contracts, lab proven toxic rain, and satellite footage that nails the treasonous U.S. regime. America is waddling straight into early graves while Big Pharma rakes in billions and spineless clowns shove “body positivity” garbage down everyone's throat. Tonight John Jubilee comes on to smash the lies wide open: his Energized Health protocol stripped 115 pounds off a father who was circling the drain, obliterated diabetes completely, and transformed a wife who lived in terror into one who finally sleeps in peace, all in just 88 days of raw, unfiltered truth.   Western civilization has been infected by a parasitic invasion of foreign ideals and values that have been introduced into our culture by strange and morally degenerate people whose goal is world domination. We have been OCCUPIED.

Did you know there's more than $40 trillion sitting in U.S. retirement accounts — most of which could be invested in real estate? In this episode, Michael Blank chats with Karen Hall, Founder of uDirect IRA and author of The BiggerPockets Guide to Self-Directed IRA Investing, to break down the rules, tax implications, and best practices that allow investors to use their retirement funds to participate in real estate syndications. Whether you're a GP raising capital or an LP investing passively, this conversation will help you unlock one of the biggest capital sources in the world.Key Takeaways: There is $40 trillion in retirement accounts — a huge capital pool most investors overlook. Self-directed IRAs can invest in syndications, rentals, notes, crypto, precious metals, and more. The IRS has prohibited transaction rules — keep investments arm's length to avoid penalties. UBIT/UDFI taxes can apply when leverage is involved — tax advisors are essential. A solo 401(k) can reduce some debt-related tax exposure. Recent laws may allow employer 401(k)s to include alternative investment funds, opening the door wider. Always ask investors: “Do you have retirement funds?” — because most won't think of it themselves.Connect with MichaelFacebookInstagramYouTubeTikTokResourcesTheFreedomPodcast.com Access the #1 FREE Apartment Investing Course (Apartments 101)Schedule a Free Strategy Session with Michael's Team of AdvisorsExplore Michael's Mentoring ProgramJoin the Nighthawk Equity Investor ClubReview the Podcast on Apple PodcastsSyndicated Deal AnalyzerGet the Book, Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing by Michael Blank For full episode show notes visit: https://themichaelblank.com/podcasts/session498/

In this eye-opening segment from Episode #1,102 of The Clay Edwards Show on WYAB (November 17, 2025), host Clay Edwards and guest Andrew Gosser unpack Tucker Carlson's explosive exposé on Thomas Crooks—the would-be assassin who shot at President Trump in Butler, PA last July. They delve into allegations of CIA grooming via MKUltra-style mind control programs, Crooks' hidden online footprint (over 20 social media accounts across platforms like DeviantArt, where he used "they/them" pronouns and engaged in furry communities), and his radical shift from Trump supporter in 2015-2016 to hardcore leftist.   Clay and Andrew question the FBI's rapid cover-up: quick cremation to hide potential toxicology evidence of psychotropic drugs, deep sanitization of his home (even bleaching walls and removing silverware for DNA traces), and erasure of his digital history despite violent posts about killing Republicans and beheading people—posts that should've triggered NSA flags during peak censorship eras. They highlight Rep. Tim Burchett's claims of Crooks being a "mark" radicalized by deep state operatives, possibly tied to Antifa or socialist movements, and call for dismantling corrupt agencies like the FBI, CIA, NSA, and IRS.   Speculation abounds: Was Crooks trans-adjacent and activated as part of a broader left-wing embrace of such communities to shield them from criticism? Why the secrecy around his medical records and prescriptions? Don't miss this unfiltered deep dive into government overreach, mind control theories, and the need for accountability in America's intelligence apparatus.   Tune in for raw analysis on conspiracies, deep state tactics, and why agencies must be held accountable.

Mike leads a discussion on real estate investment strategies, focusing on appreciation and depreciation for tax benefits. They encourage participants to shift their focus from purchase price to net return and to leverage IRS depreciation schedules. They use a hypothetical example to illustrate how these strategies can result in tax deductions without actual financial loss. Mike emphasizes the importance of these strategies for growing wealth and reducing taxes legally. They also announce a special guest, John Mangham, who will discuss tax-free exchanges on Wednesday.

Newt talks with IRS special agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler about their new book, “The Whistleblowers vs. The Big Guy: Two Special Agents, the Biden Crime Family, and a Corrupt Bureaucracy.” They describe the testimony they gave before Congress about political interference and obstruction in the Hunter Biden criminal case, revealing how the IRS, FBI, and DOJ failed to act independently. Despite overwhelming evidence, they faced retaliation and isolation for exposing corruption. Their investigation led to Hunter Biden's federal conviction, but President Joe Biden later pardoned his son and issued blanket pardons to other family members. Shapley and Ziegler's experiences are detailed in their new book, profits of which will support future whistleblowers. They emphasize the importance of treating all taxpayers equally and ensuring no preferential treatment in investigations. Their actions highlight the potential for citizens to influence government and address corruption, embodying the American tradition of truth and justice.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Ultimate Tax Shield: Mastering the 1031 Exchange for Exponential Wealth Growth Are you ready to use the most powerful tax loophole available to serious real estate investors? The 1031 Exchange (also known as a "like-kind exchange" or "Starker exchange") is a game-changing strategy found in Section 1031 of the IRS tax code that allows investors to defer capital gains taxes indefinitely. This episode dives deep into the mechanism that helps investors keep the government's money working for them, accelerate compounding, and build millions in net worth. Key Takeaways from This Episode: The Power of Tax Deferral and Compounding Discover how the 1031 exchange allows you to defer paying taxes on profits and the recapture of depreciation when selling an investment property. Learn why taxes deferred until tomorrow are superior to taxes paid today, allowing you to reinvest the full gain into your next deal. By continually using the 1031 exchange, investors can put the entire profit—including the money that would have been taxed—to work, which leads to greater wealth accumulation over time. See how investors who consistently use the 1031 exchange can accumulate millions more in wealth over a 25-year period compared to those who pay taxes after every sale. Understand the "end game": taxes can be avoided altogether by holding assets until death, passing them to heirs via the "stepped-up basis," which virtually eliminates the inherited tax consequences. Strict Rules You MUST Follow To successfully execute this powerful strategy, you must adhere to the six essential rules laid out by the IRS: Like-Kind Requirement: The property sold and the replacement property must be held for investment or trade (not personal residences or properties for quick resale/flipping). You can exchange nearly any investment real estate for another, such as swapping a duplex for an apartment complex, or raw land for a rental house. Required Value: The replacement property (or properties combined) must be of equal or greater value than the relinquished property's entire sale price. If you acquire a property of lesser value, the difference, known as "boot," is subject to normal capital gains taxes. 45-Day Identification Window: You have only 45 days from the date the relinquished property closes to officially identify potential replacement deals in writing. The IRS generally allows identification of up to three potential replacement properties. 180-Day Reinvestment Period: The acquisition of the replacement property must be fully completed and the title transferred within 180 days of the sale of the original property. Qualified Intermediary (QI): You may not touch the profit from the sale. A neutral third party, known as a Qualified Intermediary or accommodator, must hold and transfer the funds to maintain the tax-deferred status. Title Requirements: The title holder (taxpayer or entity) of the relinquished property must be the same as the buyer of the replacement property. Advanced Strategies and Flexibility Learn how the 1031 exchange enables investors to shift their focus—for example, moving from high-maintenance properties to low-maintenance commercial investments like triple-net (NNN) lease properties. Discover how investors can consistently "trade up" to larger, more passive assets, such as moving equity into a multimillion-dollar shopping mall syndication. Understand that while interests in standard LLC syndications typically do not qualify for a 1031 exchange, specialized structures like Tenancy in Common (TIC) or Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) can qualify as "like-kind" property for investors seeking a passive route. ⚠️ Critical Advice: The 1031 exchange is complex, and any minor error in paperwork could result in disqualification and immediate tax liability. You should always consult with a qualified tax professional before undertaking this strategy to ensure compliance and proper execution.

Selling real estate comes with a few well-known options, but none of them are perfect. Take the 1031 exchange: you have just 45 days to identify a property and 180 days to close. The financing has to line up, and you're stuck with contingencies that can cut your buyer pool in half. No wonder 60% of 1031 exchanges end up paying some or all the taxes anyway. Your next option? Just pay the tax. Depending on your state, that could mean losing 30% or more of your sale proceeds—money that's gone forever. Another option often promoted is the DST. Sounds good on the surface, but when you peel back the layers, you'll find heavy commissions—sometimes 12 to 16%—and steep fees. Add in strict rules on how you can exit, and in the end, the net return to you is often only about 5%. That just doesn't work for most investors. And while there are plenty of other programs being pitched, most don't pass the IRS's three required tests for tax deferral. At Q companies, they've done the due diligence—almost all of them fail at least one, and many fail all three. In an audit, that means you lose.   But there is a simpler way.   And the IRS already recognizes and even provides a publication for—Publication 537. It's called an Installment Sale Trust (IST). The documents to set it up are straightforward, about 11 pages, and it's direct, easy, and more critical, it's compliant.   That's why we're hosting a Virtual Financial Summit. We'll walk you through all of these options—the 1031 exchange, paying the tax, DSTs, and others—so you can see the benefits and drawbacks for yourself. Most importantly, we'll show you how the IST can help you potentially reach a zero-tax bracket.   Comment ZERO TAX to learn how to better manage your real estate investments.

Plus, another shutdown is looming. Gene takes a look at the mixed bag of data on job growth and hourly wage growth from the Paychex Small Business Employment Watch – one's consistent and one's consistently below 3%.

Whether it be local elections or picking a new president, election season seems to always be lurking around the corner, so on today's episode we're unpacking what it means for 501(c)(3)s to remain nonpartisan and how these nonprofits can safely engage in several different types of advocacy during election season.    Attorneys for this episode  Monika Graham  Melissa Marichal Zayas  Sarah Efthymiou    Remaining Nonpartisan:  The rule is clear: 501(c)(3) organizations cannot engage in any activity or make statements that suggest support or opposition to political parties, candidates, or groups of candidates running for public office, including those not affiliated with a specific political party.   However, the definition of what counts as "nonpartisan" remains somewhat unclear. The IRS uses a "facts and circumstances" test to determine whether a charity's communication and/or activity is truly nonpartisan or a disguised attempt to influence an election. The IRS considers whether the communication and/or activity:   identifies candidates  compares a candidate's position on issues important to the organization with the organization's positions on those same issues  expresses approval or disapproval of a candidate's position or actions  is delivered close to an election, references voting, focuses on issues that distinguish candidates  is part of an ongoing series of communications independent of election timing  or coincides with non-electoral events like legislative hearings on pending bills  DO:   Keep your focus on issues, not elections. Continue mission-related issue advocacy but avoid suggesting how people should vote.  Educate voters. Provide nonpartisan facts, resources, and information about voting without mentioning or implying support for candidates or parties  Host candidate forums or publish questionnaires:  Invite all viable candidates and give each candidate an equal opportunity to participate  Ensure questions are neutral, related to your charitable purpose, and cover a broad range of issues  Share responses verbatim and without commentary  Register voters and encourage turnout (GOTV) in a nonpartisan manner — serve everyone equally, regardless of political affiliation. Remember, there are special rules for private foundations  Document everything. Keep records showing how you designed and implemented your activities to avoid partisanship. Develop a track record of similar advocacy in non-election years  Train staff and volunteers they understand what's allowed and what's off-limits during election season  Separate personal and organizational activities. Staff and board members may support candidates on their own time, but not using organizational resources (e.g., name, email, office space, social media)  Engage in ballot measure advocacy but remember to track and report this activity as lobbying if expressing a view on the measure and trying to influence the vote  Meet with the candidates, educate them about your organization's work, and try to influence their platforms, while ensuring that you provide the same or equivalent information to every candidate    DON'T:   Endorse, oppose, or rate candidates — directly or indirectly  Use "code words" (e.g., "vote pro-life," "support progressive values," "throw out the incumbents") that imply candidate support or opposition  Time issue advocacy communications to coincide with elections if the message could be seen as favoring one candidate's position.  Publish or share candidate statements selectively or with commentary that signals approval or disapproval  Use organization funds, staff time, or materials for any partisan campaign activity  Let candidates use your events, publications, or platforms for campaign purposes.  Coordinate messaging with a candidate or you could also trigger campaign contribution restrictions under federal election law    Resources:   Rules of the Game: A Guide to Election-Related Activities for 501(c)(3) Organizations  Seize the Initiative: A Legal Guide on Ballot Measures for Nonprofits and Foundations  Being a Player: A Guide to the IRS Regulations for Advocacy Charities  Keeping Track: A Guide to Recordkeeping for Advocacy Charities  Running the Advocacy Race: Bolder Advocacy's Top Resources for an Impactful 2024 Election Season
