This idea that we can't have a wealth tax on billionaires seems flawed. Many of the super rich don't pay income tax because they "borrow" money using their stocks as collateral. Since it's a "loan" and not income, no tax is owed. I pay property taxes, but that's not "income" either. Hmm. What gives?

Trump is toast. His healthiest presidential body ever is failing him for some reason. Too bad he killed so many medical research programs, some of which might have helped him. As someone once said," stupid is as stupid does," and he's been doing so many, many stupid things.

I think it's more than a feeling. I believe the law doesn't allow that, and for good reason. But this lawless regime does so many illegal things that the courts can't keep up. It's part of the plan as described in the 2025 report. Overwhelm them continuously.

This idea has a nougat of deep conspiracy that actually makes sense. Putin probably has Trump on tape doing what to young women I can only imagine. Israel may have been running Epstein and his blackmail operation. Peter Thiel (Palintir) wants an information security state. Interesting.

Tina Peter's must be released says Trump. I wonder why? Oh yeah, she gave access to voting machines, which may have resulted in 2024 voting machine hacks. Did she cost Harris the election? It's hard to say, but quite possibly. But Trump demanding her release make me very suspicious now.

States have to be cautious about sharing any data with the current federal government. The research is done and voting data WAS hacked, but only through the voting machines. It looks like mail-ins were not altered. That's why Musk knew the 2024 election outcome before the states finished counting.
