 Trump lays wreath to mark 3 years since Kabul airport attack that killed US troops

Former President Donald Trump participated in a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday morning to mark the third anniversary of the Kabul airport attack that killed 13 U.S. service members.

Why are they all smiling? They're all sick in the head..

63 Americans were killed in Afghanistan under the Trump administration, 13 were killed under the Biden administration while leaving Afghanistan.

Republicans are using the 13 deaths to score political points but say nothing about the 63 that died. - Alex Cole

In 1989, the super-rich held $472 billion in unrealized capital gains.

In 2022, that figure was $8.5 trillion.

Ohio Is Gonna Lose A LOT Of State Taxes Due To Fraud. And They'll Deserve It If They Pass This Bill.

 An Ohio lawmaker has proposed a bill that would allow parents to claim “conceived children” as dependents on their state income taxes.

Rep. Gary Click (R-Vickery) recently introduced House Bill 654, or the Strategic Tax Options for Raising Kids (STORK) Act, which would allow Ohioans to include embryos or fetuses conceived during the taxable year as dependents. If a taxpayer and their spouse file separate returns, only the expecting mother can claim the embryo or fetus. The bill would apply to taxable years ending on or after Jan. 1, 2025.

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) went after Donald Trump on Wednesday, using her prime-time platform at the Democratic National Convention to warn voters that his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol is enough evidence he poses an outsized threat to American democracy.

Whenever I see Jan. 6th video, I feel so much raw contempt for the fact that the ringleader of the insurrection is within a few points of becoming president again when he should've been forced to flee the country under an assumed name that very day. Disgustingly unpatriotic. - Bob Cesca

"What are they supposed to make to these endless tributes to the ‘late, great Hannibal Lecter’? I mean, President Obama once gave me the great honor of saying I was the ‘Explainer in Chief.’ Folks, I thought and thought about it, and I don’t know what to say,” he added, which was met with laughter from the audience.

I’m reminded right now that Bill Clinton’s super power as an orator is that he always turns a speech into a conversation. - Patrick Gaspard
