@AutismCapital This is the problem with the left. They live in a post-truth world.

All that matters is achieving power and control. It is very Machiavellian as the ends justify the means. It is also at the core of Saul Alinsky's Rules For Radicals.
1)
@AutismCapital Pragmatism is stressed over morality. Any tactics that would work, including deception, manipulation, and provocation are employed. For example, he advocated for creating conflict to mobilize people, a tactic that prioritizes effectiveness over conventional morality.
2)
@AutismCapital He advocated manipulation of perception by creating narratives to maintain power. Alinsky also advocated for ridiculing opponents, a tactic that undermines their credibility without direct confrontation.

The Seed of Pride
Throughout the bible, the image of the struggle between life and death has always been the same. The struggle has always been between pride and self-centeredness versus humble submission and obedience. The first has always produced abundant suffering and death while the second,
when directed toward God always produces life in abundance.

Lucifer was a beautiful angel of light and the ultimate heavenly worshiper. But he had this seed of pride that produced a harvest of self-centered stubbornness, the blind rejection of the Authority and the Truth of God

Current tax law allows single filers to exclude just $250,000 in capital gains and joint married filers to exclude $500,000 when they sell their home – a provision that hasn’t been adjusted for inflation since it was enacted in 1997!

shorturl.at/vijuE
Yet, recent increases in home values mean that millions of homeowners across the nation now have equity that exceeds these amounts, meaning they would owe tax when they sell their home, all because inflation has driven up the values.
Under the recently proposed
“More Homes on the Market Act,” a homeowner who sells their home would be able to exclude up to $500,000 of capital gains – the excess of the net sales price over the original purchase price – as a single filer, or $1 million as a joint married filer, at tax time.

United States v. Comey

Nachmanoff quickly DENIES the prosecutor's motion to expedite a ruling on implementing a filter team protocol.

1) Defendants have yet to respond to the motion
2) Defendants have 14 days to do so as per local rules. Image
Nachmanoff also notes that DOJ has had years to address the issue it is now in a rush to resolve; the IG report as well as the Fitzgerald-Comey relationship and memo affair have been public knowledge since 2019; Fitzgerald didn't suddenly become Comey's defense counsel—he's been that since Sept 25Image
Interestingly, Nachmanoff lets us know some of what was under the redaction blocks in the defense's reply to the motion to expedite.

Texas Report: Karmelo Anthony Advocate Befriends and Supports Convicted Ped0phile - Frisco ISD School Admin Allows Man on S*x Offender Registry to View Footage of Minors?!

Tiffney Billions, also known as Tiffney McAdoo, a self-proclaimed advocate and activist for the Anthony family, has not only participated in several live panels with convicted ped0phile Morris Dwayne Turner but also brought him to the TikTok platform to share his personal account of security footage previously shown by Frisco ISD. The security footage of the st*bbing of Austin Metcalf was once available via open records requests and could be viewed at the Frisco ISD administration building by anyone who requested access.

Reportedly, multiple individuals accused Tiffney Billions of not having seen the footage, as her account of the events did not align with those of others who had viewed the video, including myself. (They were correct.) To “prove herself,” she knowingly brought a man who is permanently on the Texas s*x offender registry to present his account of the footage. Suspiciously, his account aligned more closely with hers. After reviewing the Frisco ISD-supplied list of known open records viewers, his name does appear on the document as one of the requesters who viewed the footage of high school-age children.

Billions has been seen in live panels multiple times with not only Turner on the panel or in the chat as a supported commenter but also with Joshua Crane, a man I previously reported on for s*xually editing photos of infants, posting them on social media, and extorting parents who demanded he remove them.

Ironically, during one of these live panels, Billions accused an innocent man of m0lesting his own child—a false story that I quickly debunked. During her unhinged and false accusations, she had the participation of both convicted individuals and predators in her live panel.

In 2017, Morris Dwayne Turner drove more than 200 miles to pick up a 13-year-old child in Austin and took the victim to a hotel to engage in s*xual activity. Turner had been harassing the 13-year-old before picking him up from school. He traveled from Little Elm to Austin to retrieve the child and took him from Travis County to a hotel in Williamson County. The victim reported falling asleep after Turner made s*xual advances and was violated while asleep.

Turner took a plea deal, which resulted in the dismissal of trafficking charges. He was convicted of indecency with a child/s*xual contact, receiving three years in prison and lifetime registration as a sex offender.

Disturbingly, a background check was not required for Turner, a convicted predator, to submit an open records request to Frisco ISD to view the footage of minors.

I have notified Texas House Representative Daniel Alders of this loophole in the law, and I am hopeful that it will be addressed in the next Texas legislative session.

All receipts are in the thread.Image

"Trantifa militant Michelle “Michael” Backes sucker punches pro-ICE counter protester during Antifa direct action at the Portland ICE facility." - @KatieDaviscourt

"Stacey Prichard, the woman @Dreadedbeauty1
who was punched by the Trantifa militant outside the Portland ICE facility, was arrested for a hate crime by the @PortlandPolice" - @MrAndyNgo

Video from: @HaydenSwankX 10/18/25
2 - My video of the moments immediately following Michael ("Michelle") Backes - a man who pretends he is a woman - punching Stacey Prichard in the face, near the Portland ICE facility, 10/18/25.

I was not impressed with how @PortlandPolice handled this.

The officer tells the victim to "stop yelling" after she tells him a man just assaulted her.

Blood is visible on her lip.

Shouldn't police first ask the assault victim if she needs medical attention, and immediately detain the assaulter (in case he tries to run)?

Apparently the assault victim's elevated voice is the immediate primary concern for police 🫠

The way the Portland Police speak to Stacey throughout this video screams "we really don't want to help you" in my opinion.

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/ Image

Businesses choose what jobs they take. ACECO chose to take this one. They can choose not to. 2/

ACECO doesn't list the White House on their projects page but it's their logo on the excavator. Surely they would welcome some local feedback. 3/

A recent overview of the Pokrovsk direction (excl. Dobropillia) by 🇺🇦military observer K. Mashovets (as of Oct 20, 2025). In the 1st part, the composition of the RuAF Group of Troops "Center" operating in this direction is analyzed.

t.me/zvizdecmanhust… x.com/SitrepLinksENG…Image
Image

In the 2nd part Mashovets focuses on the current situation in the Pokrovsk direction, where 🇷🇺command adjusted plans, leading to troop regrouping, with the 2nd CAA attacking Pokrovsk from the south & southwest, & the 51st CAA redirecting efforts based on battlefield developments. Image
Image
Image
Image
According to Mashovets, the 🇷🇺2nd Combined Arms Army is attempting to mimic the 6th CAA's tactics at Kupiansk by seeking gaps in the AFU defenses and infiltrating sabotage groups, creating artificial chaos in the Pokrovsk defense.

Data science is expanding rapidly but most practitioners skip the basics.

Cassie Kozyrkov (formerly Google's Chief Decision Scientist) previously shared 32 foundational questions that every data scientist should answer.

I got bored and distilled this into the 10 most helpful questions.

Each question offers multiple valid perspectives ⬇️Image
1/ Start with epistemology.

"What does it mean to know something?"

In data science, do we "know" something when our model predicts it? When p < 0.05? When we have correlations?
2/ Next: "How do you know that you know?"

For example, if a model has 95% accuracy, what does this really mean?

Meet Stuart Burns—an HGV driver from Carlisle.

Last summer, he became one of Starmer’s fast‑tracked protestors, jailed for words posted online.

What followed was a story of evidential flaws, prison mistreatment, and a near‑suicide.

Here’s what happened.

Thread 🧵 Image
When father and husband Stuart Burns took to Facebook to air his frustrations over the state of affairs in Britain last summer, little did he know his entire life would be upended. Image
Within days, he found himself arrested, remanded, and hauled in front of judge facing potential prison time. But instead of doing what so many did, Stuart fought back. He refused to plead guilty. Image

Just FYI from a law perspective this is complete and utter rubbish.

My general advice to anybody who talks like this would be to spend less time reading conspiracy theories on Facebook.

Obviously if people want to spoil their votes, have fun, just ignore this nonsense.
No grey area in Article 12 of Constitution.

Feck all legal challenges to it e.g. Griffin v Ireland [1982] IR 265 and Ó Laighléis [1960] IR 262.

Article 28A has nothing to do with anything here.

It'd be like citing the Road Traffic Act as a defence to not paying a TV licence.
Judicial review ruling coming on Thursday. Cora Stack challenging constitutionality of the use of the party whip. 🙄

Party whip been used in presidential elections since the first contested one in 1945.

If it were unconstitutional it would have been stopped donkeys years ago.

FT: 30 donors and companies gave Trump over $116M — then got something back. Pardons. Dropped SEC cases. Policy wins.

Most of the money — $92M — came after he won in 2024, even though he can’t run again. 1/ Image
Crypto firms topped the list. Winklevoss twins donated $3M; weeks later, the SEC closed its probe into Gemini.

Andreessen Horowitz and Coinbase saw cases withdrawn after giving $14M. ’s $10M donation preceded its own SEC reprieve. 2/Crypto.com
