Branch Basics Co-Founder Allison Evans shares the story behind one of today's fastest-growing human-safe cleaning brands—serving 240,000+ households and generating $50M annually. What began as Allison's search for answers to debilitating chronic pain in college became the blueprint for a mission-driven company rooted in integrity and transparency. But at the height of early success—$2M in revenue, nine employees, and a passionate customer base—Allison and her co-founders made an unthinkable call: shutting the company down after discovering they couldn't verify a key ingredient in their hero product. In this conversation, Allison walks through the shame, backlash, and financial fallout of that decision—while pregnant—along with the 18-month rebuild that followed. From becoming accidental chemists to restoring customer trust to scaling into 600+ Target stores, her story is a case study in resilience and values-driven leadership. It's the founder dilemma no one talks about: when doing the right thing means risking everything.   Key Takeaways and Topics The chronic health crisis that sparked Allison's mission toward toxin-free living The early growth of Branch Basics—and the ingredient controversy that halted it Navigating public criticism, refunds, layoffs, and an IRS audit simultaneously Rebuilding from scratch: 100+ reformulation attempts and finding the right partners How transparency, community, and mission made a comeback possible The mindset shift required to lead through shame, uncertainty, and pregnancy The role of content and education in driving long-term customer loyalty Lessons on partnership, boundaries, and sustainable founder capacity   The Failure Factor Podcast was brought to you by Off The Field Coaching.

Marjorie Taylor Greene just dropped the mother of all red pills and resigned from Congress, admitting Trump is a total fraud, both parties are owned by the same Jewish billionaires, and there is NO PLAN to save America. Tonight we go full nuclear on the AIPAC stranglehold, the Epstein blackmail tapes they're hiding, and the child-trafficking orphanages their networks run from Romania to Tel Aviv.   Donald Trump Jr. was caught red-handed in a secret Romanian backroom deal with Israel's ex-intelligence minister whose family built the Hezbollah exploding pagers, while America's children are trafficked and Gaza is bulldozed for Jewish luxury resorts bearing the Trump name. The same Zionist cabal that murdered Charlie Kirk and tried to silence Candace Owens is now running the White House through cocaine-fueled Shabbos goys and their Israeli handlers, proving once again that every road of treason leads straight back to Tel Aviv.   Tonight we rip the mask off the Military Industrial Complex's Zionist pipeline running straight through the University of Cincinnati and right into Charlie Kirk's own bedroom through his handler wife Erika and her Raytheon connected, geofencing spook mother Lori Frantzve.

In late September, shortly after declaring antifa a "domestic terrorist", Trump issued a memorandum directing the IRS to investigate tax-exempt organizations that could be "directly or indirectly financing political violence or domestic terrorism" and nonprofit organizations reasonably felt concerned of being targeted. A couple of weeks later, Lydia and Thomas ran into Nick Fish, President of the American Atheists, at California Freethought Day and asked how he and the organization were holding up in light of everything. We're pleased to have Nick on to discuss what nonprofit organizations can do to protect themselves, as well as the people who have supported their mission and the communities they serve, when it is feeling less and less paranoid that the federal government might be coming for you. How can organizations fortify themselves through governing documents and organizational structure to donor databases and retention policies when the President of the United States could very well declare your nonprofit a supporter of domestic terrorism?

Send us a textWhat if the most serious parts of your life are just boss levels in a game you designed for joy? We dive into a radical but deeply practical reframing: the “world” is a rendered image of thought, judgment quietly burns your lifebar, and every desire points to one thing—union. From that vantage point, the big swings become training grounds: a tense conversation about a friend's clutter turns into connection; money fear morphs into surrender; an IRS audit becomes an arena to extend love; even a home swallowed by lava reveals unexpected ease and capacity.Across this conversation, I share the tools that have actually shifted my day-to-day: how to feel guidance as a heart-expanding signal rather than a barking order, how to spot when breath patterns betray an untrue thought, and how to pause the “I shouldn't have” script before it cements into guilt. We question the rules we've been running—aging is inevitable, punishment fixes harm, certain foods control bodies, politics must divide—and trace how those beliefs keep separation alive. Instead, we practice a gentler discrimination: truth or illusion? love or fear? command or control?The result is not theory—it's lighter rooms, softer bodies, and relationships that reorganize around presence. You can't be harmed in truth, and you can't truly harm; recognizing that doesn't excuse bad behavior, it dissolves the engine that repeats it. Try the micro-invocations that shift state on contact: “Beloved, return to me.” “I receive the love of God.” Watch how triggers turn into gifts once judgment drops, and how abundance, health, and vitality arrive as feelings first, evidence later.If this lands, share it with someone who's ready to level up without white-knuckling through life.

The IRS has announced increased gift and estate tax exemption amounts for 2026. 

In this episode of Vast Voice, R. Kenner French and Liliana Falconer dive into the essentials of tax planning for entrepreneurs. Lily comes in unaware of the topic, adding spontaneity to the discussion, while Kenner emphasizes that this quick episode is designed to deliver powerful insights in under three minutes. Their goal: help business owners understand why tax planning should never be an afterthought.They begin by highlighting a common truth—most people don't prioritize taxes until the last moment. Lily points out that many individuals scramble to gather receipts, while Kenner explains that this reactive approach almost always leads to higher tax liabilities. Waiting until April 15 leaves taxpayers with little flexibility to make useful changes. Simply put, last-minute filing often results in writing a larger check to the IRS.Kenner stresses that true tax reduction happens throughout the year, not at the deadline. Planning as early as January 1 allows entrepreneurs to structure strategies, adjust cash flow, review employee numbers, and evaluate past liabilities to project forward. Quarterly meetings with a tax professional can significantly reduce tax burdens by catching opportunities proactively rather than retroactively.The conversation also contrasts two types of tax professionals: those who “drive using the rear-view mirror” and those who look ahead. Lily summarizes the lesson perfectly with an analogy, entrepreneurs should “rip off their rear-view mirrors” and focus on the road ahead. Proactive tax planning removes obstacles before they become problems and ensures a smoother, more predictable financial journey.Kenner closes by reinforcing that entrepreneurs need advisors who plan forward. If a tax provider can't help you strategize before tax season, it may be time to find one who can. VastSolutionsGroup.com aims to add value by guiding entrepreneurs toward better decisions year-round. With that, Kenner and Lily wrap up another concise yet impactful episode on financial clarity and smarter tax planning.Takeaways• Most people fail to prioritize taxes until the last minute.• Tax planning works best when started on January 1, not April 15.• Proactive planning can significantly lower tax liability.• Quarterly meetings with a tax professional provide major advantages.• Tax professionals who only “look backward” limit your savings potential.• VastSolutionsGroup.com focuses on projecting forward, not reviewing the past.• Early planning allows adjustments in cash flow and employee numbers.• Entrepreneurs should remove obstacles early through strategic planning.• A good tax advisor should guide you all year—not just during filing season.• Forward-focused tax strategy leads to smoother finances and less stress.Sound Bites• Rip off your rear-view mirrors and look ahead.• We don't look backward; we project forward.• If your tax pro can't save you early, you've got issues.Listen & Subscribe for More:

Let's be honest: taxes feel like that thing you're supposed to understand but somehow never learned, and now you're too embarrassed to ask. Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, and Neighbor Doug welcome Hannah Cole—artist-turned-tax-pro and author of the brand-new book Taxes for Humans—to finally explain taxes in language that doesn't require a CPA license to understand. Hannah's built her career translating tax code for freelancers, side hustlers, and small business owners who just want to know what they can deduct, what'll get them audited, and how to stop drowning in shoebox receipts. She breaks down the real difference between a legitimate business expense and wishful thinking, how to track startup costs without losing your mind, and why the bookkeeping system that works is the one you'll actually use (spoiler: it doesn't have to be fancy). Whether you're launching a side gig, running a creative business, or just trying to keep the IRS from ruining your holiday season, Hannah's got the roadmap. Then Joe and OG shift gears to tackle the "AI bubble" conversation everyone's having—is this tech hype justified, or are we watching 1999 all over again? They break down how to think about market froth without panicking, why smart investors don't build their strategy around TikTok prophets predicting doom, and how to prepare your portfolio for volatility without making fear-based moves. Plus: Doug delivers trivia about Richard Pryor's Blazing Saddles days, because even tax talk deserves a palate cleanser. What You'll Walk Away With: • Tax basics explained in actual human language (finally)—what counts as a deduction and what's just wishful thinking • How to set up simple, sustainable bookkeeping systems for side gigs or small businesses that you'll actually maintain • The smartest way to track startup expenses without drowning in receipts or spreadsheets • Why the IRS isn't as scary as you think when you've got your basics covered • How to think about AI market hype without getting swept up in either the euphoria or the panic • Smart strategies for preparing your portfolio for volatility without making emotion-driven decisions • Why the right tax and investing systems buy you back time, creativity, and peace of mind This Episode Is For You If: • You've been winging it on taxes and know you're probably missing deductions (or making mistakes) • You run a side hustle but have no idea what you can actually write off • Tax season makes you anxious because you're never sure if you're doing it right • You're hearing AI bubble talk everywhere and wondering if you should be worried about your investments • You want systems that are simple enough to actually follow, not perfect enough to abandon by February Before You Hit Play, Think About This: What's the tax mistake you wish you could warn your younger self about?

Learn how to donate effectively for Giving Tuesday and juggle multiple credit cards without hurting your credit score. How can you donate more intentionally on Giving Tuesday without blowing your budget? Does having multiple credit cards hurt your credit score? Hosts Elizabeth Ayoola and Sean Pyles discuss charitable giving and credit card management to help you support causes you care about while protecting your finances. Joined by Grace Nicolette, Vice President of Programming and External Relations at the Center for Effective Philanthropy and co-host of the Giving Done Right podcast, they begin with a discussion of how Giving Tuesday started and why intentional giving matters. They share tips and tricks on setting a realistic donation goal, choosing causes that align with your values, and spotting nonprofit red flags beyond “overhead ratios.” Grace also explains how to plan giving throughout the year, how to research organizations using public filings and news coverage, ways to overcome “do-gooder paralysis,” and the benefits of involving family and friends so giving becomes a shared, values-driven habit. Then, NerdWallet credit card and travel rewards expert Erin Hurd joins Elizabeth and Sean to discuss how having multiple credit cards (and we mean multiple!) can affect your credit score and day-to-day money life. They discuss why the number of cards you have matters less than how you manage them, how credit utilization and credit age really work, and why aggressive “churning” — opening cards for bonuses and quickly closing them — can backfire. Erin walks through how a large card lineup can actually help your utilization if you avoid overspending and always pay in full, why she treats card collecting as a long game, and how business cards may not show up on your personal credit report. She shares tactics for deciding when to keep, downgrade, or cancel a card with an annual fee, how to get value from airline and hotel perks, and how to avoid feeling overwhelmed by multiple accounts using tools like aligned due dates, autopay, spreadsheets, and digital tools such as the NerdWallet app. Resources discussed in this episode: How to Upgrade or Downgrade Your Credit Card: https://www.nerdwallet.com/credit-cards/learn/how-to-upgrade-downgrade-your-credit-card  7 Credit Card Tips Everyone Should Know https://www.nerdwallet.com/credit-cards/learn/credit-card-tips-everyone-should-know  How to Stay Organized When You Have Multiple Credit Cards https://www.nerdwallet.com/credit-cards/learn/stay-organized-multiple-credit-cards I've Had 80 Credit Cards.

In this episode, you'll learn how real entrepreneurs legally wipe out massive tax bills using smart strategies your CPA won't talk about. Discover how to structure your business, plan ahead, and use the tax code to build wealth instead of losing it.

Listen now before another tax season drains your profit.   Next Steps:

A few weeks ago our 14-year-old daughter ordered a $30 item online with her own hard-earned cash. She was proud of herself—until a notice popped up: the product was coming from overseas and a tariff of roughly $30 would be due at delivery. She looked at me, stunned. “Wait… I have to pay double to get it?” She paused, thought, and said, “I still want it.” https://www.youtube.com/live/gV_EvvpiXww That tiny moment shows a big reality: taxes aren't just something you deal with in April. They show up everywhere, often without warning, and every one of them is a leak in your wealth bucket. It's also a simple picture of why taxes and wealth creation are tied together in ways most families never see. The Real Link Between Taxes and Wealth CreationTaxes and wealth creation: Why taxes are the biggest wealth leakThe compounding cost of taxesTaxes and wealth creation: 95% of the tax code is about how not to pay taxes“Is this deductible?” vs “How do I make this deductible?”Taxes and wealth creation: Tax planning is not tax preparationTaxes and wealth creation: The SECURE Act and a silent inheritance taxThe 10-year inherited IRA ruleTaxes and wealth creation: Roth conversions as a legacy moveTaxes and wealth creation: Positioning money where compounding can keep workingReal estate incentivesCharitable givingWhole life insurance for tax-efficient legacyTaxes and wealth creation: Thinking past your lifetimeHere's the point: taxes and wealth creation rise and fall together.Book A Strategy CallFAQWhat is the connection between taxes and wealth creation?Why do taxes feel invisible to most families?What did the SECURE Act change for inherited retirement accounts?Are Roth conversions a good strategy for generational wealth?How does real estate help with tax-efficient wealth building?Why is tax planning different from tax preparation?How does whole life insurance fit into tax-efficient legacy planning? The Real Link Between Taxes and Wealth Creation This topic matters because taxes quietly take more from most families than any other expense. Not your mortgage. Not your lifestyle. Taxes. In this article we're going to pull taxes out of the “yearly chore” box and put them where they belong—in the center of your wealth plan. You'll see why taxes are such a drag on compounding, how the tax code rewards certain behaviors, what the SECURE Act changed for retirement accounts and heirs, and why Roth conversions and other strategies can protect wealth for your lifetime and beyond. The goal is simple: help you keep more dollars in your control so they can grow and bless your family for generations. Taxes and wealth creation: Why taxes are the biggest wealth leak Most people think about taxes as a single event: file your return, see if you owe or get a refund, and move on. But Bruce made a point that changes everything: we pay taxes on almost every transaction. Federal and state income taxes are just the obvious ones. Add sales tax, gasoline taxes, property taxes, and the taxes baked into your phone and internet bill—and the true cost is enormous. Even when you don't see it, you pay it. And the dollars you lose to taxes don't just disappear today. You lose what those dollars could have become after decades of compounding. Once money leaves your control, the future of that money is gone forever. The compounding cost of taxes I love pictures, so here's one we used. Imagine your money as water in a five-gallon bucket. If there are leaks in the bottom, you don't arrive anywhere with a full bucket. Taxes are one of the biggest leaks. You can earn more and work harder, but if you don't seal the leaks, your progress is always slower than it should be. Think about the penny-doubling example. A penny doubled daily for 30 days becomes millions, but for the first week it still feels tiny. That's why people underestimate compounding. Taxes interrupt that curve. They pull dollars out before they ever reach the steep part of growth. Wealth isn't only about what you earn. It's about what you keep and control long enough for compounding to do its job. That's why taxes and wealth creation are inseparable. Taxes and wealth creation: 95% of the tax code is about how not to pay taxes Bruce shared something that shaped his whole view. A former IRS auditor once told him: only about 5% of the tax code explains how you pay taxes. The other 95% explains how you don't have to pay taxes. That surprised me at first, but it's true. Congress uses the tax code to steer behavior. If they want more housing, they reward people who provide housing. If they want investment in certain industries, they create incentives there. The incentives exist on purpose. If lawmakers didn't want people to use them, they wouldn't be written into law. “Is this deductible?” vs “How do I make this deductible?” Tax strategist Tom Wheelwright says the wrong question is, “Is this deductible?” The right question is, “How do I make this deductible?” Example: if you travel to evaluate real estate deals and your primary purpose is legitimate business, documented properly, the tax code may allow deductions. The key isn't being clever. The key is following the rules clearly. We never recommend gray areas. Good tax strategies are black-and-white and well documented. Taxes and wealth creation: Tax planning is not tax preparation The tax code is thousands of pages long and changes constantly. Many CPAs are overloaded with compliance work—paperwork, deadlines, filing logistics. So a lot of families get tax preparation, not tax planning. Preparation reports what happened and tells you what you owe. Planning helps you shape what you owe before the year ends. If you want to build wealth, you can't treat planning like an afterthought. You may need a professional whose mindset is: “My job is to help your family pay the least amount of tax legally possible.” Not because taxes are bad, but because every dollar saved is a dollar that can compound, be invested, or be given with purpose. Taxes and wealth creation: The SECURE Act and a silent inheritance tax If you have tax-deferred retirement accounts—401(k)s, IRAs, 403(b)s, SEP IRAs, deferred annuities—you need to understand what changed. Older rules required minimum distributions (RMDs) at age 70½. The SECURE Act pushed that age to 75. That sounds like a gift, but it has a catch: more years of growth means a larger account, which often leads to larger taxable withdrawals later. But the bigger change hits your heirs. The 10-year inherited IRA rule If a tax-deferred account passes to a spouse, they can keep deferring. If it passes to your kids or grandkids, most beneficiaries must empty the account within 10 years. Picture a 45-year-old inheriting a $1 million IRA. Under old stretch rules, they could take small withdrawals over a lifetime. Now many will take around 10% per year—about $100,000 annually—stacked on top of their working income, often in their highest-earning years. That pushes those inherited dollars into their top tax bracket. So the SECURE Act didn't remove taxes. It concentrated them. If you do nothing, your children may pay far more tax on your retirement savings than you ever expected. Taxes and wealth creation: Roth conversions as a legacy move This is where Roth conversions come in. We're not giving advice here—your personal facts matter—but the principle is powerful. A Roth conversion means paying tax on some tax-deferred dollars now so they move into a Roth account. Later withdrawals are tax-free. When the Roth passes to heirs, they still follow the 10-year rule, but distributions are generally income-tax-free. When we run numbers with families, we often find that paying some tax earlier can reduce the total tax bite over two lifetimes—yours and your kids'. For families who care about legacy, that's a big deal. Taxes and wealth creation: Positioning money where compounding can keep working Bruce listed several straightforward ways families can keep more dollars compounding without needing complex structures. Real estate incentives Real estate is a clear example of Congress rewarding behavior. The U.S. needs more housing, so the tax code offers depreciation and, in some cases, bonus depreciation for certain investments. Those deductions can offset taxable income and free up cash flow for more investment. The rules are specific, so strategy and documentation matter. Charitable giving If generosity is already part of your family culture, don't ignore how charitable strategies can lower taxes while letting you support what matters most. Whole life insurance for tax-efficient legacy This is a place where our work often connects the dots. Properly designed whole life insurance has a unique tax profile: cash value grows tax-deferred, you can access it through policy loans without triggering income tax, and the death benefit passes to heirs income-tax-free. We like to say that every tax dollar you save is another dollar you can reposition into assets that serve generations. Whole life often becomes a family gold reserve—liquid in your lifetime, leveraged at death, and protected from future tax surprises. Taxes and wealth creation: Thinking past your lifetime During the episode I shared a golf analogy. Your wealth plan is like a golf swing. Most people only focus on the backswing—everything that happens until you hit the ball. In life, that's “my lifetime.” But legacy is the follow-through. Where does the ball go after contact? What trajectory does your wealth take after you're gone? When you plan only for your life, you miss the biggest multiplier in tax planning: time across generations. When you plan with follow-through, you make different choices today—like paying some taxes sooner—because you see how that can protect your children from a heavier burden later.

Transcript G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment. For all people that are age 65 and older, you have Social Security and you earn less than $75,000 or $150,000 as your AGI, there is an additional deduction that’s going to happen to your standard deduction of $6,000 for each person over that age that has Social Security. So this is something you’re going to want to make sure—if you do your own taxes, nothing wrong with that, perfectly cool. But make sure that when you’re doing them that you’re using not just paper and pen… maybe you’re using software nowadays.

In Episode 231, Dave records a lengthier episode early for the holiday weekend and starts the show discussing the presence of ICE in Charlotte resulting in 20% of the student population not showing up. From there, he reviews the latest in a long line of corruption in the Democratic Party. First up is a Dem Rep stealing $5M in FEMA funds followed by an Arizona Dem stealing $63M in Covid funds. Dave returns to Congress because it seems Hakeem Jeffries (aka the Brooklyn Barack Obama) was soliciting donations from Epstein and MTG may have ties to George Soros and other previously undisclosed issues with being in Congress. The toxic politic topics continues with Killary and her latest comments regarding a nationwide announcement that Trump had been unalived which forces Dave to have a little thought experiment regarding a possible trigger for CW2. Speaking of possible triggers, Dave takes some time to discuss the Seditious Six and their little video. After that, there is a discussion of the nation's financial sector, a possible rate cut in December, and new IRS tax code thresholds. Also, it seems we're going to have a resurgent GOP once Trump is out of office because the Bush family is planning to retake the party back. After all of that domestic news, Dave closes the show by reviewing a video of an American citizen being detained at the airport in England and charged with terrorism because he ridiculed Islam and Elon Musk add a new feature to ‘X' that exposes account locations.

Most business owners are overpaying their estimated taxes by $15,000–$20,000 a year — and their CPAs are telling them it's “the safe thing to do.” In this episode, Tiffany Phillips exposes how fear-based accounting advice quietly drains your cash flow and gives the IRS an interest-free loan. You'll learn the truth about estimated taxes, how safe harbor rules really work, and the simple calculation that keeps you penalty-free without overpaying. Tiffany walks through real client examples that saved tens of thousands in unnecessary payments — plus the exact system you can use to keep more money in your business year-round. If you're tired of blindly trusting your CPA and ready to start paying smarter, this one's a must-listen.   Next Steps:

So Alan. Again, welcome to the show and why don't we kick things off by give us a little bit of background on you. How did you get into entrepreneurism, into business and give us a little bit of backstory so we understand how this all came to be. Alan Porter (02:00) Well, I never thought I'd be doing this. I retired from the military back in 1993. I was a Blackhawk instructor pilot and I told everybody I had a safe landing for every takeoff and I dodged all the bullets and I had a great career. And I got enrolled in the real estate mortgage business after that up till about 2008. I've had some tragic things happen to my family. In 2009, live in Little, mean Fayetteville, North Carolina. My son lived in Little Rock, Arkansas with his wife, Lynn. She was 39 and they had two little girls that were seven and four. Jason Hull (02:19) in 2009. Alan Porter (02:28) Well, we went down there for Christmas in 2009, but my son had been 100 % disabled for three years and still not getting the disability. And January 5th changed my entire life. His wife, Lynn, called me up. said, Alan, I've been diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer and they've given me six months to live. Of course we were all devastated, but there's a huge financial problem that's developed in my son's family because there's no money coming in. Jason Hull (02:28) Well, we went down there for business in 2009, but my son had been 100 % disabled for three years and still not in a disability. Wow. And January 5th changed my entire life. His wife Lynn called me up, she said, Alan, I've been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and they've given me six months to live. Of course, we were all devastated. Yeah, I bet. there's huge financial problem that's developed in my son's family because of the money coming in. Alan Porter (02:55) I'm helping them out, but I don't know for how long Jason Hull (02:55) I'm helping him out, but I don't help him. Alan Porter (02:56) until I'm gonna have to sell my house or do something. But I was like 99 % of the people out there, Jason, that thought life insurance was a death product that you had to die to benefit from it. Well, little did I know she had a terminal illness right or her life insurance policy that she could access within one year of diagnosis of this deadly disease and was completely tax free, which I knew nothing about. It was hundreds of thousands of dollars. Jason Hull (02:58) Yeah. Really? Alan Porter (03:21) And if it had not been for that, my son would be bankrupt and it took a huge financial strain off of me. Jason Hull (03:25) Yeah. Well, long story short, died a year later, so I moved my son back here to Fayetteville, North Carolina. But about a year after that, my daughter's an oncology nurse, and her husband's a doctor at Woodbrook and Raleigh, North Carolina, and just gave birth to my third grandson. And she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and it was very bad. We didn't think she was going to live. Well, now in 2023, she's been 12 years cancer free, but she also was diagnosed with Graves' disease, thyroid eye condition. Alan Porter (03:26) Well, to a long story short, she died a year later. So I moved my son back here to Fayetteville, North Carolina. But about a year after that, my daughter, who's an oncology nurse and her husband's a doctor, they live up in Raleigh, North Carolina, had just given birth to my third grandson. And she was diagnosed with breast cancer and it was very bad. We didn't think she was going to live. Well, now in 2023, she'd been 12 years cancer free, but she also was diagnosed with Graves disease and thyroid eye condition. There's only one treatment for it. It's not a cure-all for anything, but Jason Hull (03:51) And there's only one treatment for it. It's not a cure-all. Alan Porter (03:55) it's a treatment. It's an infusion, eight infusions of this drug is called Tepezza I believe. The first one was like $32,000. The last one was almost a quarter of a million dollars. That was in May of 2023. On January of 2024, the thyroid eye condition came back. In February, she went to the doctor. The doctor said, Nicole, I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do until you go blind and then we can operate. I'm thinking, man, what a prognosis. Jason Hull (03:55) my Yeah. ⁓ Alan Porter (04:21) So we tried to get her a study at Duke. She didn't qualify for that because she had already taken the Tepezza But April did get her into the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. But basically there's nothing they can do for her. She was up there for about four days for testing and consultation. But basically, like I said, there's nothing they can do for her. They got a drug that may be 50 % effective. It's not improved by insurance. And believe it or not, it's even more expensive than the Tepezza is. And it's just, I mean, so. Jason Hull (04:39) Yeah. Yeah. Alan Porter (04:51) So both of my kids are living day to day in misery. And when I got started in this, knew, like I said, these things, because I was to have a very successful real estate mortgage business. And I said, these financial strategies that the insurance companies have, why don't people know about this? These are the greatest financial vehicles out there. People tell me, well, listen to Suzy Orman and Dave Ramsey, insurance is not a good investment. Well, first off, it's not an investment. Jason Hull (04:54) When I got started in this, knew, like I said, these things, because I was very successful in estate in my early years. I said, these financial strategies that the insurance companies have, why don't people know about this? These are the greatest financial vehicles out there. People tell me, listen, as soon as you arm it today, Ramsey, insurance is not a good investment. Well, first off, it's not an investment. Alan Porter (05:18) It's an asset class all of its own. There's no other financial product that can Jason Hull (05:19) It's an asset class all of itself. There's no other financial product that... Alan Porter (05:23) provide the protection, performance, and benefits of cash value life insurance when properly structured and fixed and fixed indexed annually. And I'll give you one big point. They eliminate or mitigate the risk in retirement that a stock portfolio only compounds. That's absolutely... Let me ask you this. Have you ever heard of sequence of returns risk? Jason Hull (05:23) could provide the protection, performance, and benefits of cash, money, or life insurance. Yeah. if you have one big point, they eliminate or mitigate the risk in retirement that a stock portfolio only compacts. That's absolutely, let me ask you this, have you ever heard of sequence of returns risk? Sequencing returns? Sequence of returns risk. No.   Alan Porter (05:46) Sequence of returns risk. Well, don't feel lonely because 99 % of the people I talk to, to include multi-millionaires that have fee-based advisors. And let's say that you're 65 years of age and you go to retire and you got a million dollars in your stock portfolio. They used to say a 4 % distribution rate was a safe distribution rate to last for 30 years, index for inflation at 3%. Well, my plans go to age 120. They don't cut off in 30 years. Jason Hull (05:50) Well, don't feel lonely because 99 % of the people I talk to include multi-millionaires that have fee-based advisors. let's say that you're 65 years of age and you go to retire. You have a million dollars in your stock portfolio. They used to say a 4 % distribution rate was a safe distribution rate to last for 30 years, index for inflation at 3%. Well, my plans go at age 120. They don't cut off in 30 years. But the problem with that 4 % distribution rate Alan Porter (06:15) But the problem is that 4 % distribution rate, that's Jason Hull (06:19) That's $40,000 a year. And that stock portfolio, that's not guaranteed. What if you have a 10 % loss the first year? now your million dollars goes down to $900,000 minus the $40,000 you took out minus the fees you paid on financial advisor whether you make money or not. And then the next two to three years, 2008 happens again, where you lost 38 to 52%. You never got the money in the fifth year. And when I tell people about this, they're financial advisors, Alan Porter (06:19) $40,000 a year. And that stock portfolio, that's not guaranteed. What if you have a 10 % loss the first year? So now your million dollars goes down to 900,000 minus the $40,000 you took out minus the fees you pay that financial advisor, whether you make money or not. And then the next two to three years, 2008 happens again, where you lost 38 to 52%. You're going to be out of money in the fifth year. And when I tell people about this and their financial advisors, Don't tell them, I mean, they're said, I said, why do you think that is? Jason Hull (06:45) don't tell them. I made letters, I said, why do you think that is? Alan Porter (06:48) It's because they make a fee whether you make money or not. The number one fear in retirement is running out of money before you run out of money. I can eliminate that. Jason Hull (06:49) Because they make a fee, well, if you make money or not. The number one fair return is 20,000 dollars. Yeah, compensation structures are incentive models. And so if their incentive is not to tell you, it's because they're getting paid to not tell you. Well, they're supposed to be fiduciary looking out for their best interest clients. I'm a certified financial financial advisor. Yeah, but regardless, the one thing you can always trust is for everybody to look out for their own self-interest. Oh, you're right there. Alan Porter (06:59) Yeah, exactly right. Well, they're supposed to be fiduciaries looking out for their best interest clients. I'm a certified financial fiduciary. you're right there. Jason Hull (07:18) So if your own self-interest is in alignment with their interests, then that's a win-win. Otherwise, someone's gonna lose. Yeah. It's always the clients. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, well, that's quite the story. how is everybody doing now? Alan Porter (07:26) Yep. And it's always the client. My son looks like he's 85 years old and my daughter's living day to day in pain. Jason Hull (07:43) Yeah, yeah. So you have this burden of trying to figure out how do I take care of them? How do I make sure that, you know, taking care of your kids and, you know, nothing's more stressful emotionally or more motivating for us as a parent than our own kids having it going through a tough time. Yeah. I remember my oldest daughter, she was born with a birth defect that there was a rotation in her gut and she was just always sick, throwing up, stuff like this. Well, she almost died. We didn't know this. got, went and got a scan. Everything was inflamed. They're like, we have to do emergency surgery immediately. And yeah, it was pretty scary as a parent. And they had to like pull her guts out, do surgery, put them back in. And she was a little kid, you know? Now she's my oldest. I mean, she's still my oldest, but now she works for me. and in DoorGrow which is great. But yeah, I remember those times. That's really scary. And I can imagine that's just really a big load on your shoulders. So did this kind of spark you creating the strategic wealth strategies then? Alan Porter (08:30) No. Absolutely, that's my passion for this. I'm very passionate about what I do. It's all about education because people don't know. Jason Hull (08:49) Explain the passion, like what gets you excited about this? Alan Porter (08:53) Well, educating people. That's what I did in the Army. I was an educator. I taught people how to fly. it's just like this, educating people. I teach people to think outside the box, conventional financial planning, and show them the strategies that the wealthy and banking institutions have been using for years. Now, I show people how to become their own bank. I've been doing this for a decade and a half. And why don't everybody doesn't do this? I don't know why. mean, you borrow money from yourself, you pay yourself back compound interest. Jason Hull (09:16) you Alan Porter (09:20) and not the financial institutions and you eliminate the effective interest cost that you pay on the money that you borrow. And people, are you aware of what effective interest cost is? Banks love it. I had a gentleman who wanted to do my debt free for life plan. And I said, well, how much debt do you have? He says, well, we bought a new house a couple of months ago, a couple of car payments, a loan and a credit card. I said, what's the interest rate on your mortgage? He said 2.75. Jason Hull (09:20) Yeah. And people, are you aware? No, what is that? Alan Porter (09:46) I said, what's your effective interest cost on that? He says, well, I don't know what you're talking about, Alan. I said, don't fill it, only most people don't. Fill out my form, we'll do a Zoom conference the following week. I said, you got $461,000 in debt. That's not your problem. The problem is the 49.76 effective interest cost, you're paying on that 2.75 % mortgage. His eyes got real big and he said, Alan, how is that possible? I said, it's not going to get down to the 2.75 until the last couple of months of the mortgage. Jason Hull (10:10) Yeah. ⁓ Alan Porter (10:14) You've got a credit card here that's over 90 % effective interest cost. And even though you've got great credits, your average effective interest cost is over 46%. So my next question to him was, what financial vehicle are you investing in, your 401k or anything else, that gives you a 46 % return on your money? Because 46 cents of every dollar that you pay out goes to compound interest for some financial institution, and that money's gone for you forever. Jason Hull (10:17) and ⁓ Alan Porter (10:38) He said, well, nothing. In fact, I lost 10 % of my 401k. Jason Hull (10:40) Yeah, that'd be hard to find that much. And then my last question was how long does it you to your debts off? I said with my cap three buck of money and a whole lot of insurance policy, 14.17 years past, saving $73,000. And in the 10th year it would be 52 years of bids, and there's over $149,000 in cap Alan Porter (10:43) And then my last question was, how long can it take you to pay your debts off the way you're doing it? I 20 some years. I said, with my tax-free bucket of money and a whole life insurance policy and our software, we're paying all your debts off 14.17 years faster, saving you $73,000 in interest. And in the 10th year, you'll be 52 years of age and there's over $139,000 in a tax-free bucket of money that you can use ⁓ to buy a new car, whatever, college education for your kids. Jason Hull (11:06) you can use uh buy a new car whatever college education for your kids at that point your debt benefits will be $400,000 in tax-free money from the federal bank but think about this you don't have to any more money in this by the time you're 65 there'll be over $400,000 in tax-free money that you can use to supplement your income that does not affect the taxation of social security or the tax and community care part which will be in the thousands per year Alan Porter (11:13) At that point, your debt benefits over $400,000 of tax-free money to protect your family. Think about this. You don't have to put any more money in this. By the time you're 65, there'll be over a quarter of a million dollars in a tax-free bucket of money that you can use to supplement your income that does not affect the taxation of Social Security or the means testing for Medicare Part B, which will be in the thousands per year. You're protected from lawsuits, liens, and judgments, and it eliminates or mitigates all the risk in retirement. This is absolutely great for real estate investors. Jason Hull (11:35) Yeah. Yeah ⁓ Alan Porter (11:42) Because once they build that money up in the cash value of their policy, they can take it, go buy a property, and pay themselves back. I do this all the time. I just bought two new cars in last two years. I pay myself back. I'm going to have tens of thousands of dollars more because I compounded interest for me instead of some financial institution. Jason Hull (12:03) So you said multiple times, like why aren't people doing this? Well maybe you could answer your own question, why aren't people doing this? Alan Porter (12:10) It's lack of education. It ought to be taught in high school, but it's not. I've got college professors with PhD degrees in accounting and finance. They have no idea what I'm talking about. They ask me to teach their classes. Jason Hull (12:20) Yeah, got it. So it was just a lack of education on this. Alan Porter (12:24) That's exactly what it is. Jason Hull (12:25) So, yeah, well, I mean, it sounds like something that everybody should be doing. So how does somebody get started with this or how do they become aware of this or what would you say are the first steps? Alan Porter (12:38) Well, give me a call. I don't charge for my consultation services. That's free. It's an education. I think everybody needs to know these things because it will change their financial future, not only for them, but for their family also and possibly generations to come. at 9-8-5. Jason Hull (12:52) So Alan, it sounds like you've kind of found a passion in this. You really enjoy helping people to be able to figure this out and do this. Alan Porter (13:00) Absolutely. Jason Hull (13:01) So yeah, I think that's noble. I think this is pretty awesome. So for those that are listening to this point, I'm going to read a quick word from our sponsor and then Alan, I'm going have you share your phone number so they can get in touch with you and we can keep talking about it.

Head over to krsbooks.com to book your free discovery call. All right, so Alan, what's the number that they should get? to get in touch with you or to reach you to find out about this. Alan Porter (13:59) You can call me at 910-551-1046, email me at strategicwealth, the number zero at gmail.com. And you can always go to my website, which is www.strategicwealthstrategies.com and you can book appointment there. And I've got a plethora of information on that website. Jason Hull (14:18) What? Great, thanks for sharing. So for those that are listening, some people might listen to this and go, well, that's nice, but Alan probably can only work with people that maybe have a million dollars or that are ultra wealthy or have lots of savings. People will listen to this and say, that's probably not for me. What would you say to that? Alan Porter (14:39) Well, quite frankly, bull I work with everybody. know, I'm for the military. Military people don't make a lot of money. Okay. And I work with them, but I work with regular, regular working people that I mean, I'll give you a perfect example. I asked people, said, why do you contribute to a 401k? They said, well, it's a tax deduction. I said, no, it's a tax compounder. And I thought you don't think tax is going to be higher when you retire. I got another thing coming for you. Jason Hull (14:43) Okay. Right. Alan Porter (15:07) But see, thing is people don't understand. 1 % of people out there don't even think there's a fee in a 401k. A 1 % fee over a 30-year period will reduce your income by one-third. The average fee in a 401k is 2.99%. Now that's by Forbes Magazine and the Laptimes. People have less than two-thirds of their money and then they get hit with taxes anywhere from 20 to over 55%. And they're not prepared for it. They're not prepared for long-term care, which costs right now between $50,000 to $200,000 a year. I can get money for that's tax free for pennies on the dollar. It's just a matter of education. Jason Hull (15:43) So for the property management business owners listening, a lot of them will have sometimes hundreds of clients that are investors and they're wanting to maximize their investments, how would this maybe benefit the property management business owners to be better educated on this and have a strategic partner like you? Alan Porter (16:03) Well, the thing is, you've to have a plan.   If you don't have a plan, make one. But you've got to have a plan and improve on it all the time. But it's just like, you know, building up your cash value and borrowing from yourself to buy a property and paying yourself back. That's an absolutely great thing for a real estate investor. And these property managers, I've got health and wellness programs. If you've got employees over 10 employees, understand this. The employer will save anywhere from $500 to $700 a year in FICA taxes. The employee and the employer have 1,100 drugs, prescription drugs, at zero copay. That's 20 to 30 % of healthcare costs. Jason Hull (16:37) Yeah Alan Porter (16:50) I mean, and they also have an accidental indemnity program and that's not for the employer, but they have a revolution health app. They've got the number one telehealth app according to JD Power and associates. It's a plethora of benefits. We have legal club, we have identity shield. It's just all at no net cost to employer and no net cost to the employee. It's the section 125 of the tax program. Jason Hull (17:06) This is all at no net cost reported at no net cost reported. Got it. Got it, interesting. Okay, well cool. Well what else would people generally ask about this or should we make sure that the listeners are aware of related to this? Well, are you... Alan Porter (17:26) Well, are you risk averse? Are you conservative? You know, it's just like when you go to retire and you've got that million dollars in stock portfolio, a 4 % distribution rate, $40,000. If you had a property constructed fixed indexed annuity at, say, age 65, you'd only need approximately $650,000 of that stock portfolio to give you the same $40,000 a year. That's guaranteed for the rest of your life. we're guaranteed. Jason Hull (17:53) New York Heat. ⁓ Alan Porter (17:53) Never to have a loss through the market because we're not tied to the market for our gain. We use indexing strategies and every time that indexing strategy goes up we have increasing income and the older you get the higher the distribution rate is. You can't do that with a stock portfolio. It's not even comparable. Jason Hull (17:59) And every time that index of strategy goes up, we have increasing income. And the older you get, the Yeah, yeah. Well, Alan, I appreciate you coming on to the DoorGrow show and bringing this to light for those listening that are not aware you're doing your purpose of educating. So appreciate that. And to wrap up what final words do you have? And then again, why don't you go and share how people can get in touch with you one more time. Alan Porter (18:31) Okay, well I've got a best-selling book out right now on Amazon. It's called Tax-Free Retirement Solution. Again, Tax-Free, Tax-Free Retirement Solution. Jason Hull (18:38) It's called tax, tax free. Retirement solution, okay. Got it. Alan Porter (18:45) And again, you can call me at 910-551-1046. My email is strategicwealth, the number zero at gmail.com. And you can go to my website, which has a plethora. I've got videos, I've got blogs, I've got everything there.

On today's episode of the podcast I'm talking about terrible advice I see on the internet and how to avoid it. I'm only sharing 10 of the terrible pieces of advice I often see on the Internet, but I could have made this a multi-part episode. 1. Don't form an LLC until you hit $30,000 in revenue. - I hear lots of mythical revenue markers but there's no magic number because LLCs provide liability protection at any revenue. The more money you make, the more liability you're likely open to because you're more working with more clients which can lead to more problems. The longer you wait the more hassle it is to form an LLC. 2. Form an S Corp right away. - When you form an S Corp you are legally required to put yourself on payroll, pay yourself a reasonable recurring salary, and have profit leftover in your business which you can't do if you aren't making money when you start right away. 3. Just use LegalZoom. - I'm not a huge fan for many reasons including lack of added benefits. They ask you questions to fill out a form you can fill out for free yourself online. They charge you to get an EIN when you get your EIN for free on the IRS website. 4. Just do it yourself. - If you scroll through social media I frequently see people say "use LegalZoom" or "do it yourself" or "go work with a lawyer." I suggest somewhere in-between. The problem with doing it yourself is we've seen clients who did it incorrectly. Once you file, you need to maintain your LLC compliance requirements including back franchise taxes. I believe in a well-rounded approach of doing it yourself, with guidance which is why I started creating courses. 5. You don't need trademarks. - This is kind of like telling someone you don't need health insurance. You hope you'll never need to enforce it, but if you need to use it and don't have it, it's a problem. 6. Trademark everything. - It depends on who you are as a business owner and what you're launching. 7. Don't trust templates. - The person who writes the contract template understands your industry, your business, and these templates are typically based on contracts they've custom written for clients. 8. You don't need to do that. - This can refer to a lot of things, but I see it often with things like BOI (Beneficial Information Ownership reports), testimonial requirements, website compliance, etc. Too often people think these laws are for big corporations like Amazon or Target and not small businesses like us, but we see it happen to small businesses all the time. 9. Just write it off. - Not everything is a tax deduction! You need to be using it for business. And writing it off doesn't make it free. Focus on buying things that have a high ROI. 10. You can pay $0 in taxes. - Not every strategy is helpful, even if it's not fraudulent. You may end up owing more in the long run and all tips don't apply to all businesses.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down the fierce political battles inside Washington over healthcare, immigration, and the courts. He then turns to global flashpoints involving the Muslim Brotherhood, Ukraine, foreign propaganda campaigns, and a surprising development involving Italian pasta. Healthcare Fight Intensifies: President Trump is preparing to release his updated plan for America's health insurance marketplace. Early details include extending Obamacare subsidies for two more years, with tighter income eligibility rules and minimum premium requirements. The White House will also expand Health Savings Accounts and allow federal assistance to be used for faith-based HealthShare programs. Republicans fear voter backlash if a fix is not delivered before the midterms. At the same time, critics warn that the extension will add around fifty billion dollars per year to the national debt. Bryan notes the frustration felt by many listeners facing soaring premiums, including his own fifty-four percent increase. Immigration Battle Escalates: DHS is recruiting "deportation judges" with salaries up to $200,000 and significant bonuses. The administration hopes to replace immigration judges with high asylum approval rates, particularly in cities like San Francisco, where twelve Democrat appointed judges have already been removed. Trump is prioritizing faster removals for millions of pending asylum cases. Meanwhile, the fight over Somali welfare fraud has led the White House to rescind long-standing protections for Somali migrants, prompting criticism from Democrats and activist groups. Representative Ilhan Omar mocked the policy shift and insisted, "We are here to stay." Courts Block Key Enforcement Tools: A Clinton-appointed judge ruled that the IRS cannot share data with DHS to identify illegal aliens, blocking access to more than one million records. Other Democrat appointed judges halted Trump's attempt to expand rapid deportations inside the United States for migrants who have been here for fewer than two years. Bryan explains why these rulings highlight a deeper partisan divide inside the judiciary and why Supreme Court control has become a central battleground for both parties. Sedition Charges and Military Discipline: Senator Mark Kelly and other members of the "Seditious Six" face investigations after urging military personnel to resist hypothetical unlawful orders from President Trump. Kelly insists he is exercising free speech, but Pentagon officials say retired officers remain bound by military law. Bryan argues that these calls to resist the President are politically motivated and undermine public trust in the armed forces. Representative Eugene Vindman is also under investigation for unapproved foreign consulting work in Ukraine after leaving military service. Comey and Letitia James Win a Round in Court: Charges against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James were dismissed after a judge ruled that the Trump appointed prosecutor had been improperly selected. The Department of Justice says it will refile the charges and insists the statute of limitations has not expired. Bryan describes the moment as a tactical win for the defendants but not the end of the fight. Trump Targets the Muslim Brotherhood: The President ordered the State Department to determine which branches of the Muslim Brotherhood should be labeled as terrorist organizations. The group's history stretches back to its founding in Egypt in the 1920s, inspiring violent movements including Hamas and al Qaeda. Bryan notes that some Middle Eastern governments, particularly Turkey and Qatar, still support parts of the organization, and that groups like CAIR in the United States have roots in Brotherhood networks. Foreign Troll Farms Exposed on X: A new platform update revealed that many accounts posing as American conservatives or pro-Palestine activists are actually operated from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. These users post inflammatory political content to generate clicks and payouts under Elon Musk's monetization system. Bryan urges listeners to be skeptical of viral accounts and to scrutinize sources. Ukraine Peace Plan Revised: Trump's proposed peace plan has been reduced from 28 points to 19 and now leans more toward Ukraine's favor. European leaders insist Ukraine must maintain a one-million-strong force, even as countries like Germany admit it will take a decade to reach 260,000 troops. Bryan argues that Europe's rhetoric far exceeds its ability to act and that Trump is correct to dismiss their objections. Italian Pasta Tariff Coming: The White House is preparing a tariff on imported Italian pasta to protect U.S. producers. Bryan jokes that listeners may want to stock up now.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32   Put a smile on your face and give joy to your taste buds… Give Masa and Vandy beef tallow chips a try today!

Marjorie Taylor Greene just dropped the mother of all red pills and resigned from Congress, admitting Trump is a total fraud, both parties are owned by the same Jewish billionaires, and there is NO PLAN to save America. Tonight we go full nuclear on the AIPAC stranglehold, the Epstein blackmail tapes they're hiding, and the child-trafficking orphanages their networks run from Romania to Tel Aviv. Donald Trump Jr. was caught red-handed in a secret Romanian backroom deal with Israel's ex-intelligence minister whose family built the Hezbollah exploding pagers, while America's children are trafficked and Gaza is bulldozed for Jewish luxury resorts bearing the Trump name. The same Zionist cabal that murdered Charlie Kirk and tried to silence Candace Owens is now running the White House through cocaine-fueled Shabbos goys and their Israeli handlers, proving once again that every road of treason leads straight back to Tel Aviv. Tonight we rip the mask off the Military Industrial Complex's Zionist pipeline running straight through the University of Cincinnati and right into Charlie Kirk's own bedroom through his handler wife Erika and her Raytheon connected, geofencing spook mother Lori Frantzve. While the enemy spikes your food and jabs your arm, John Jubilee and Energized Health are handing loaded weapons back to patriots: lose the gut, kill the pain, ditch the poison pills, and become unstoppable in 88 days even while eating everything on the holiday table.

Now, a study of IRS data by the National Taxpayers Union Foundation found that California is losing a taxpayer roughly every minute, as states like Florida, Texas, and North Carolina attract new residents due to lower taxes and higher standards of living. In comparison, Florida gains a new taxpayer every 2 minutes and 9 seconds while Texas gains one every 2 minutes and 53 seconds.

Wall Street is still  unconvinced about gold.    apply to, without avoidance, and the amounts payable to the USA will SKYROCKET, over and above the already historic levels of dollars received. These payments will be RECORD SETTING, and put our Nation on a new and unprecedented course. We are already the “hottest” Country anywhere in the World, but this Tariff POWER will bring America National Security and Wealth the likes of which has never been seen before. Those opposing us are serving hostile foreign interests that are not aligned with the success, safety and prosperity of the USA. They couldn't care less about us. I look so much forward to the United States Supreme Court's decision on this urgent and time sensitive matter so that we can continue, in an uninterrupted manner to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT https://twitter.com/589bull10000/status/1992941720628047931?s=20   Read what he actually said: – Importers burned through the “stock up” dodge – Now they're trapped— everything they buy gets hit – Tariff revenue is about to explode vertically – America becomes a trade-powered superstate – And anyone opposing it is “serving hostile foreign interests ” If SCOTUS blocks this, they're siding with the global parasites not the American people. This is the keystone to the entire monetary reset: • RLUSD as the digital dollar • XRP/XDC settling global flow • ISO 20022 rails snapping together • Ripple + BNY Mellon wiring the system • BRICS commodity shift accelerating • Iraq's IQD prepping for international use • Tariffs funding the transition away from income tax It's all connected and Trump knows exactly what he's doing. He's daring SCOTUS to kill the revenue engine powering America's comeback. Refunds? Please. That would nuke the entire global architecture being built right now. SCOTUS isn't suicidal. This is the moment the old system dies and the new one comes online. You're watching the reset happen in real time Political/Rights https://twitter.com/RobertMSterling/status/1992807431747891538?s=20 https://twitter.com/TriciaOhio/status/1992956196794343889?s=20   used their training and appropriate force. https://twitter.com/DHSgov/status/1992972952313249990?s=20 https://twitter.com/Geiger_Capital/status/1992731012174954975?s=20   immigration.” The 1924 Act passed the House and Senate with overwhelming support. Democrats AND Republicans agreed. The bill introduced tight immigration quotas, new visa requirements, the Border Patrol, and outright banned immigrants from certain countries that we viewed as incompatible with our culture. It dramatically reduced the number of people coming into the country, and provided an opportunity for the recent “great wave” of immigrants to assimilate. By the 1940’s and 1950’s, American society thrived with a boomimg economy, rising middle class, common culture and limited immigration. The Act was in place until 1965. Since then, we have experienced decades of *historic* immigration, both legal and illegal. Today we have higher levels of foreign-born than the early 1900's by both raw number and percentage of population. This mass immigration has also included vastly different cultures than the mostly Europeans we accepted then. It's obvious that we once again need to make a national policy shift, and it should be bipartisan… It's time for another Immigration Act. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1992591518314668440?s=20 https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/1992794921569517639?s=20 DOGE  https://twitter.com/ElectionWiz/status/1992754205308944525?s=20 https://twitter.com/drawandstrike/status/1992765443052814719?s=20 based on recent reports, it’s true that DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) has been integrated into many federal agencies through embedded teams, staff, or operational units—often described as “DOGE offices” or equivalents—that continue its mission of efficiency, waste reduction, and oversight. This decentralization followed the quiet disbandment of DOGE as a standalone entity around November 2025, ahead of its original July 2026 expiration.  While sources vary on the exact scope (e.g., “all” vs. “many” agencies), the embedding is widespread and includes: Office of Personnel Management (OPM): Acts as a central hub for DOGE’s workforce reduction directives, with embedded staff handling HR overhauls and agency-wide efficiency mandates.  Office of Management and Budget (OMB): Institutionalizes DOGE’s tools for deregulation, AI audits, and budget cuts, with teams funded through agency IT modernization funds.  Department of Health and Human Services (HHS): Former DOGE staffers in roles like chief technology officer, focusing on fraud detection and program streamlining.  State Department: Embedded personnel overseeing foreign assistance and efficiency reforms. Department of Education: DOGE teams with access to federal student loan data and other systems for waste elimination. Treasury Department (including IRS): Staff integrated for system access and financial oversight. Other agencies: Reports mention integration in the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Office of Naval Research, General Services Administration (GSA), Social Security Administration, and dozens more, with over 100 former DOGE staffers reassigned across the government. Some agencies were directed to establish minimum teams of four specialists (e.g., engineer, HR expert, lawyer, and lead) coordinating with a rebranded U.S. DOGE Service in the Executive Office of the President. This model makes DOGE’s influence more pervasive and harder to dismantle, as it’s no longer a single target but distributed “watchdogs” with data access and decision-making roles. Critics, including Democrats, have raised concerns about political influence from these embedded staffers. Overall, while not every minor agency may have a formal “DOGE office,” the embedding affects a broad swath of the federal government, with ongoing activities like contract terminations (e.g., $1.9 billion in recent cancellations).

The pirates were generally under the control of the Ottoman Tripolitania, and many were true privateers: i.e., civilian ships and civilian crews causing great harm to American interests. So President Thomas Jefferson sent the Navy and the Marine Corps to North Africa to blow those private ships and crews the hell out of the water. Tommy J. didn't have Predator drones like Trump is using to blow narcoterrorists out of the water who are trying to slaughter hundreds of thousands of Americans with fentanyl, but Tommy did have some kick-ass Marines to blow pirates out of the water who were enslaving American citizens. Right on the shores of Tripoli. Hence the song. But Democrats are too stupid to know what that means. ‘Murica. Blowing up civilian ships since 1801, all to protect America. So how about it, you lobotomite Democrats? Were Tommy J.'s orders lawful or unlawful? We all know the answer, even though you won't admit it. Lawful. Just like Trump's lawful preservation of American lives from the scourge of fentanyl. Learn a little history, you Democrat goons. Now go write the Marines' Hymn 5,000 times on the blackboard until you learn your lesson.  War/Peace Europe’s Counter-Plan For Ukraine Peace Leaves Door Wide Open For NATO Admission  Even as the Trump White House is busy in Europe trying to get NATO and EU states on board its 28-point peace plan which controversially demands the Ukrainian side cede territory, the Europeans have leaked their own counter-plan which proposes much less in the way of compromise with Russia. The UK, France, and Germany have put forward their own counter-proposal, and the draft differs sharply from the US version. Like with prior proposed deals, it contains terms which Moscow is expected to flatly reject, mostly notably it does not provide guarantees that Ukraine will stay out of NATO, and also absent is the ceding of any territory. While Trump’s plan makes clear that Ukraine must renounce ever joining NATO, the European draft states that Ukraine's potential NATO membership “depends on the consensus of NATO members, which does not exist.” This intentionally ambiguous language of course leaves leaves the door wide open, dependent on when such consensus is reached.

Arguments that “Russia has gained so little land” sound almost childish when you consider the human cost. We have lost more people in three years than some European nations have as the whole population. My country is bleeding out. Many who reflexively oppose every peace proposal believe they are defending Ukraine. With all respect, that is the clearest proof they have no idea what is actually happening on the front lines and inside the country right now. War is not a Hollywood movie.

The case was dismissed without prejudice. Judge Cameron McGowan Currie, a Clinton appointee ruled that US Attorney Lindsey Halligan was invalidly appointed: For the reasons set forth above, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows: 1. The appointment of Ms. Halligan as Interim U.S. Attorney violated 28 U.S.C. § 546 and the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution. 2. All actions flowing from Ms. Halligan's defective appointment, including securing and signing Mr. Comey's indictment, were unlawful exercises of executive power and are hereby set aside. 3. The Attorney General's attempts to ratify Ms. Halligan's actions were ineffective and are hereby set aside. 4. Mr. Comey's motion to dismiss the indictment (ECF No. 60) is granted in accordance with this order. 5. The indictment is dismissed without prejudice. 6. The power to appoint an interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 546 during the current vacancy lies with the district court until a U.S. Attorney is nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate under 28 U.S.C. § 541.

Klobuchar could not answer Welker. She delivered a word salad about the National Guard and a District Judge's order. “If their commander were to tell them, hey go out on the streets… and do this and that, that's not following the order that is in law,” Klobuchar said.
