IRS layoffs are costly for the U.S., redistributing wealth to the top 1% (who lie on their taxes at jaw-dropping rates).

The bottom 99% generally pay their taxes. cepr.org/voxeu/column...

Taxes evaded as a percent of taxes owed from a study showing that the 99th wealth percentile and above evade significantly more taxes than everyone else. The richest evade 25% of the taxes they owe on average. The bottom 95% evade less than 3% of their taxes on average. While these data are from Scandinavia, similar patterns are likely in other countries, including the U.S.

Because he liked what was happening and wanted it to keep going so only whites lived in Palestine. There is literally no other interpretation that isn't hagiography or white-washing.

since you're in this mood, i feel like I need to tell you that I am finally going through History of Rome, and every time you say "Gracchus", I can only think of a Roman version of Grok. So, now, whenever I hear you mention him, I just mutter "Gracchus, is this true?" like a broken man

It was great working with Zeteo’s editors and rigorous fact-checker.

And I’m most grateful they let me say this in the last graf, something I’ve been try to get at with these ICE flights for awhile.

The disparity between the luxurious aircraft and its shackled, vilified passengers must have been quite a sight, but they are not unrelated. Corrupt officials transferring state funds to personal accounts, governments with empty treasuries and desperate citizens, luxury highrises, the criminalization of the unhoused and undocumented, billions spent on political campaign pageantry, aiding genocide from a faraway ballroom and calling it "charity," tax breaks for flying masked agents and nameless prisoners under cover of darkness - all are the spoils of oligarchy.

A disproportionate amount of Nazi origin stories is now "people on Twitter/SomethingAwful/etc didn't laugh at my jokes or be my buddies 😟🤬" instead of, originally, "I saw my friends get blown to smithereens trying to take a mile of dirt in Verdun".

But you shouldn't be too surprised when they say stuff like this:

"You were better off being a Black person in Charleston, S.C., in 1850, when they had an operating slave market than being conceived as a Black baby in New York City or Baltimore today."

I don’t want to take any guidance at all from the secular society around us. And the reason I don’t is they killed 60 million babies. I don’t want to hear any more lectures from these people about slavery. You were better off being a Black person in Charleston, S.C., in 1850, when they had an operating slave market than being conceived as a Black baby in New York City or Baltimore today.

Spending your time talking to someone who wants to relitigate slavery is definitely a choice you can make

Kid Rock was offered an interview spot on FOX, and when he was told it was about "female college students who minor in political science", he accepted immediately when all he heard was "female [...] minor".

Don't worry about it I'm sure it'll be fine. I, on the other hand, am planning for what my cubicle will look like in the White House when Pete and Gavin win in 2028! My parents make $5 million a year!!!!

As a New York Stater, my favorite one has to be "9/11 Never Happened". Not "(X) did it", but that the whole thing was fabricated. No towers, no explosions, no planes, it was a flat lot the entire timr.
