Caleb Hammer completely unloads on a Louisiana couple after learning their $100,000 household is collecting $500 a month in FOOD STAMPS. That’s $6,000/year in TAX-FREE income. HAMMER: “That PISSES me off.” That $6,000 cushion is exactly what lets them blow $3,600 a year eating out. Taxpayers cover the groceries so they can hit the restaurants. Hammer was so disgusted he stopped talking to them and started ranting under his breath, while the couple sat frozen in stunned silence. Maybe everyone gaming the system should have to sit across from a taxpayer and explain themselves. Something tells me the look on Hammer’s face will haunt them the next time they eat out.

The IRS sent armed agents into a family bakery and drained $68,382 from its bank account. Their “crime”? Depositing their OWN CASH in amounts under $10,000. Then the government demanded ANOTHER $160,000 and a guilty plea to a FELONY. The IRS called it “structuring”: deliberately keeping deposits small to dodge bank reporting rules. DAVID VOCATURA: “I said to them, ‘Maybe I should get a lawyer.’ And they said, ‘You don’t need one, step in the back.’” “Until the day they came in, I had no idea what structuring was.” “I’m a law-abiding citizen. I can’t remember the last time I got a speeding ticket.” Nearly three years after seizing the money, a prosecutor came back with a deal that carried up to FOUR YEARS IN PRISON: DAVID VOCATURA: “They wanted us to pay another additional $160,000 in fines and plead to a felony charge of structuring.” They refused. You bake bread for three generations. You pay your taxes. You put your own money in the bank. And the IRS treats you like a criminal, demanding nearly a quarter million dollars. CONTEXT: Fortunately, the IRS didn’t get away with this one. Hours after the Institute for Justice sued, the IRS agreed to return all $68,382.22. Two weeks later, it withdrew a grand jury subpoena demanding eight years of the bakery’s business records. Crazy that they tried to ruin a business over depositing money into their own bank account.

Stephen A. Smith reveals how his 4-hour meeting with President Trump and Bill Maher concluded: Weeks ago, Trump publicly questioned Smith’s IQ. But with the cameras off, Smith says Trump “could not have been nicer.” But what stunned him most was how the meeting ended after hours of fighting between Trump and Maher. “The biggest thing that he [Trump] deserves credit for and Bill Maher deserves credit for is that they were going at it for hours on things they disagreed about.” “Bill Maher made it a point. ‘Damn right I’m a liberal. I’m proud of it, and I don’t like a lot of your policies,’ and was going down the list with a few of them.” “He said, ‘But it doesn’t mean I have to hate you because of it, nor do you have to hate me.’ And with that, we agreed.” In February, Trump called his 2025 meeting with Bill Maher a “total waste of time.” Earlier today, after this most recent meeting, Trump said Maher “likes me a lot more than people understand, and I actually like him.”

THEO VON: “Will you define socialism for us?” MAMDANI: “Socialism, to me, means that you will have WHATEVER YOU NEED to live a dignified life, and that it is the GOVERNMENT’S JOB to deliver on that.” I’ve heard a line like that before. It came from a famous book, and it was describing the highest stage of communism.

The government assessed a disabled mechanic’s $115,000 home at over $1,000,000 and jacked his property taxes from $1,800/year to more than $30,000. Darrell Lloyd paid CASH for the 960 sq. ft home. ZERO debt. But he can’t even afford to keep it because of taxes. No basement. No second floor. He says it’s worth about $180,000. LLOYD: “I’m at a loss. So right now, I don’t know what to do. I can’t even sell the house because they see the taxes. Everybody gonna run.” So he went to the assessor’s office for help. Their response? “Everybody’s taxes increased.” Lloyd finally called FOX 32 Chicago. Only after the station got involved did officials admit the bill was a MISTAKE. You work, you pay taxes. You buy a modest home with cash, you pay taxes. You get hurt and go on disability, you still pay taxes. Then they assess your bungalow like a million-dollar estate and mail you a $30,000 bill. Imagine how many Darrell Lloyds never called the local news...

Sen. Joni Ernst reveals 6,000 IRS workers owe nearly $50,000,000 in unpaid taxes, or blew off filing altogether. Rules for thee, not for the IRS. Of thousands of delinquent workers, just 20 IRS employees who weren't paying their taxes were terminated. It's supposed to be a firing offense. They hound you for every cent of YOUR paycheck. Yet thousands of them are dodging their own tax bills. Imagine what they’d do to you if the tables were turned. Ernst is pushing two bills to hold them accountable: one to audit IRS employees, another to publicly name the federal workers who are delinquent. You shouldn’t need an act of Congress to make the tax collectors pay their own damn taxes.

Rand Paul reveals Washington spent $4,600,000 of YOUR money to find out whether getting drunk makes you FALL DOWN. Another $3,000,000 went to studying whether eating ants fights global warming. $7,000,000 on a “smart toilet” that photographs your backside. And $2,000,000 to learn if hot tubs help you relax. Rand Paul kept the receipts. It gets dumber: • NIH spent $1,000,000 to help people get over their fear of the dentist. • USAID spent $48,000,000 to help disconnected Tunisian youth cope with modern society. • NIH spent $36,000,000 to find out why stress turns hair gray. • Washington even sent money to Central America to train people on how to apply for U.S. grants. Yes, really. We paid them to get better at taking our money. Not one American with an ounce of common sense would vote to approve a dime of this garbage. The government pisses away billions like this and never stops asking for MORE.

MSNBC contributor reluctantly admits 𝕏 Community Notes actually works, even though it physically pains her to say so. Rolling Stone called Elon Musk and 𝕏 "the biggest purveyors of online misinformation." Now liberals like Molly Jong-Fast are admitting that false information and missing context get kept in check "pretty well" by Community Notes. MAHER: "In this current atmosphere we live in, I never believe anything I read just from that one thing I read." JONG-FAST: "X has community notes, and I think community notes — I don't want to compliment X here, but community notes works pretty well." MAHER: "Well, then compliment them. Why can't you?" JONG-FAST: "I'm doing it! I'm doing it. Yes, I'm doing it, but I don't want to."

Melinda Gates responds after Epstein Files suggest Bill Gates got an STD from “Russian girls” and planned to secretly medicate her. NPR: “The emails in the files suggest that Bill Gates had additional affairs and that he tried to get medication to treat a sexually transmitted infection, and that he was going to give you the medicine without you knowing. His representative has said all of this is false… What is your dominant emotion when you read these news articles with these details?” MELINDA GATES: “Sad. Just unbelievable sadness. Unbelievable sadness… It’s just sadness. I left my marriage. I had to leave my marriage. I wanted to leave my marriage. I felt I needed to eventually leave the foundation. So it’s just sad. That’s the truth.”

Bill Maher’s audience bursts out laughing as he torches woke colleges for being so obsessed with diversity that they’ve reinvented “segregated housing.” MAHER: “In 2023, when the Supreme Court ruled that colleges can’t use race-based admissions anymore, the counter-argument from universities was, ‘How can you? Diversity is the most important thing we do here.’ Okay, then why all the SEGREGATED housing on campuses?” And it’s not just housing. A National Association of Scholars survey of 173 colleges found 72% hold separate graduation ceremonies by race. The number of schools with no segregated programs at all? ONE. MAHER: “Harvard said, quote, ‘Diversity and difference are essential to academic excellence.’ Right, diversity and difference are essential. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be joining a house with 40 people who look EXACTLY like me.” Diversity is essential. Living with it, apparently, is optional.

Stephen A. Smith publicly APOLOGIZES to Kyrie Irving after calling him "selfish" for refusing the COVID jab. "Hindsight-wise, it didn’t make him stubborn or selfish. It made him BRAVE." "I watched Dr. Fauci on Capitol Hill yesterday, and the person I thought about most was Kyrie Irving." “Kyrie Irving stood out in my mind because of the heat that he was taking... He refused the vaccine. New York City's mandate made him ineligible for home games, and he linked his stance to people losing jobs over vaccine mandates." “In my opinion, particularly hindsight-wise, it didn't make him stubborn or selfish. It made him brave. His willingness to stand up and say, ‘Nah, I'm not doing that.’ “It's just a time for reflection — to look at things differently.” Kyrie gave up $11,400,000 in game checks during the 21-22 NBA season and a $100,000,000 extension with the Nets to be unvaccinated. That cements his holdout as the largest financial sacrifice any athlete has ever made over an issue in history.

The hospital found out Gail Seiler was unvaccinated for COVID. Then they tried to MURDER her. They STARVED her for 12 days, denied her water for 7 days, and told her husband she was going to die. When her husband came to take her home, the hospital made her a PRISONER. They called the police, and a 6-hour standoff followed. When the hospital finally let them go, it wasn’t through the main entrance. It was through the freight elevator used to carry bodies to the morgue. On the way out, a nurse told her husband, Brad, “Mark my words, she’ll be dead tonight, or before you even get home.” Gail survived. Not because of a miracle, but because a caring physician stepped in and guided her home treatment: nebulized budesonide and ivermectin. BRAD SEILER: “Over the next 30 days, she was weaned completely off of oxygen. Within 60 days, she had recovered sufficiently to return to work. Today, Gail is alive, healthy, active, and enjoying life with our grandchildren and children.” Gail’s story is horrendous, but it’s not uncommon. Hospitals were rewarded with perverse bonuses during COVID, and the more interventions they ran, the more they made. As Attorney Tom Renz previously testified: “We have incentivized the MURDER of patients rather than incentivize TREATMENT.” “When you go to the hospital, you get tested. They get paid more. When you get admitted for COVID, they get paid more. When they put you on remdesivir, they get paid more. When you get ventilated, they get paid more. When you die, they get paid more. This is perverse.”

Andrew Ross Sorkin gushes over Trump's new America. gov website on live TV while Joe Kernen sits there stunned. Sorkin is not a Trump fan, and he lets that be known. But the moment he said the word "credit," Kernen nearly fell out of his chair. SORKIN: “I want to be clear. I am actually not critical of the president in this instance at all, because I actually think it was great to bring everybody together.” “For 29,000 websites, the ability to get a passport, the ability to get your medicare. I mean, the it was like being at a product. It was like being at an Apple product announcement. And when they went through what they did and the president was there in the morning and walked through what they were doing, and Marco Rubio was there, Scott Bessent was there, the whole cabinet was there. It was one of those moments where you actually thought the government was working for you, really? And Gebbia deserves an extraordinary amount of praise for it.” KERNEN: “Do you feel great? Are you have the warmest fuzziest feeling right now listening.” SORKIN: “And by the way, the president deserves credit for that." KERNEN: "Oh my God!" SORKIN: "Credit for putting you in that role. And Jeb and his team putting it all together.” KERNEN: “So now I'm getting hot flashes. Wow. So this is just amazing.” CONTEXT (What happened): Trump launched America. gov, a single government site meant to replace 29,000 federal websites for things like passports and Medicare. It was built by Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia, and Sorkin was in the room for the demo. Sorkin also credited the Trump accounts interface as "really easy to use" and "like using a real app."

Stephen A. Smith says he was warned by his estate planners to leave California every weekend because the government would TRACK his phone calls, then uses that data to collect MORE taxes. He thought they were kidding. Then he got his tax returns. They weren’t. What’s happening here is the “jock tax” in effect, which is California’s way of collecting more money from entertainers and athletes based on days worked or spent in the state. And here’s the disturbing part. California’s tax collectors pull cell phone records to show where you were when you took your calls so they can prove you were still hanging out in Cali so they can hit you with another taxable day. Smith got sick of Gavin Newsom taxing him to death and moved his ass out of California. He now lives in Florida. SMITH: “I’m sitting down with my estate planners and all of that. And they said, ‘Look, when the weekend arrives, it would be in your best interest to go to Vegas or to Utah or something.’ I said, ‘Why?’ And they said, ‘Well, if you stay in California, you know, IRS, they ping your phone. So, anytime you get a call or you’re on the phone, they know that you’re in the state. And that counts as a tax day.’ “And I said, ‘You got to be kidding me.’ And sure enough, when I saw my tax returns, it was absolutely correct.” This jock tax is not small money, either. Shaquille O’Neal found that out the hard way. His first year with the Lakers, he signed for $20,000,000. By the time taxes were done with it, his check came in at $10,900,000 for the year. Then the jockey tax took another $4,000,000. And Shaq walked away with about $7 million out of the 20. Two-thirds of his paycheck went to taxes.

Masked thug in Illinois gets what he deserves after he picks on the WRONG GUY at the gas station. He walks up to a driver pumping gas and points a stolen gun at him. Big mistake. In under a second, the law-abiding citizen draws his gun and fires. He was a concealed carry license holder. The would-be robber never got a shot off. He dropped, then ran away limping. Police caught him quickly. Turns out the car he drove there was stolen, too. Now he has to answer for that AND the robbery attempt. A member of the family that owns the station summed the encounter perfectly: “It’s really nice to see that guy defend himself in the way that everybody SHOULD be able to.” When gun-thieving politicians try to take your guns away, the only people left with them are the government and the bad guys. The only thing that stopped this stolen gun was a legal one. Never let them take your guns away.

Adam Carolla DETONATES after San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie admits the city “lost its way” on progressive values. “F**K YOU AND YOUR F**KING SH*TTY VALUES.” He said what millions are thinking. The f-bombs are completely appropriate here. CAROLLA: “Your ideas SUCK. Your progressive ideas SUCK. They ruin cities.” “A whole bunch of people OD’d because of your sh*tty f**king values.” His boat analogy nails it: One progressive captain lets the water in. The next one pumps HALF of it out. And you’re supposed to thank them because the boat is sinking slower. CAROLLA: “Your plans always turn to sh*t. San Diego's turned to sh*t. Austin's turned to sh*t. LA's turned to sh*t. Wherever you guys become captains, your boat's turned to sh*t.” “Why don't we just get the guy who never lets the water in?” “You're running a f**king city. You have a budget. That's it. Crime, statistics, school, education, traffic. I don't give a f**k about your values.” “MY VALUES ARE GET THE F**K UP AND GO TO WORK AND SHUT UP.” Every progressive says “we lost our way” after the boat goes under. No. You steered it exactly where you wanted it to go.

Sen. Joni Ernst reveals bureaucrats approved pandemic loans for applicants who used DOLL PHOTOS as their ID. The scammers put in zero effort. The government matched it and gave them the money. It gets dumber. Applicants claiming to be OVER 115 YEARS OLD were approved for 3,095 pandemic loans worth $333,000,000. Claim you’re 157? Here’s $36,000. A Pandemic Response Accountability Committee report found $79,000,000,000 in potential COVID fraud. Four basic questions could've stopped it: 1. Is the Social Security number valid? 2. Does the name match? 3. Does the birthday match? 4. Is the person alive? Too much to ask, apparently. ERNST: “Seriously, folks, that could have saved 79 BILLION DOLLARS right there.” And that was just COVID. In fiscal year 2024 alone, federal agencies shoveled out $162,000,000,000 in improper payments. The government pisses away billions every year and never stops asking YOU for more.

A college liberal challenges Matt Walsh to a debate, insisting gender interventions are “life-saving.” By the end of the exchange, the audience CHEERS for Walsh and the student flees in defeat. It took Walsh just four words to start the unraveling: “How do you know?” She never recovered. Because the evidence for “life-saving” doesn’t exist. The UK’s Cass Review, the largest independent review of youth gender medicine ever conducted, found NO evidence that gender-affirming treatments reduce suicide. Even the study activists loved to cite, the 2019 Swedish paper claiming surgery improved mental health, was CORRECTED by its own authors a year later. New conclusion: “no advantage.” “Life-saving” was never a finding. It was a slogan. And it falls apart the moment someone asks how you know.

A 19-year-old charged with stabbing a man in Pittsburgh so badly his intestines were hanging out was released the SAME DAY without posting a dime. Eight days later, he’s the prime suspect in ANOTHER stabbing. District Judge Dan Butler let Delvin Dobbins walk on a non-monetary bond. Just a promise to show up to court. Pittsburgh Police Chief Jason Lando couldn’t believe he was out. “How can that be? I mean, he just stabbed someone in the stomach a week ago.” And it’s happened before. Two years earlier, Dobbins was let go after a burglary arrest because the juvenile detention center had closed. Two months later, he was charged with SHOOTING a convenience store clerk. Two stabbings and a shooting. The man keeps racking up victims because the judge keeps SETTING HIM LOOSE!

Joe Rogan and Andrew Huberman look up how many Americans die from medical error each year, and the answer floors them both. ROGAN: “Okay, so medical error is responsible for 251,000 deaths a year.” HUBERMAN: “Whoa, that’s crazy.” ROGAN: “Do you understand how insane that is? Imagine if that was Pop-Tarts.” That number comes from a 2016 Johns Hopkins study published in the BMJ. It estimated medical errors kill 251,454 Americans a year, which makes them the third leading cause of death, behind only heart disease and cancer. And it gets worse. A 2023 Johns Hopkins and Harvard study found that misdiagnosis alone kills an estimated 371,000 Americans a year and leaves another 424,000 permanently disabled. If an airline killed that many people, nobody would ever board a plane again.
