As a hedge fund owner, Scott Bessent avoided over $900K in Medicare taxes by exploiting a major loophole.
As Treasury Secretary, he now oversees the IRS — which has backed away from closing the loophole since Trump took office.

Senate Republicans don’t want to bring in Jack Smith to testify before the American people to ask him why he subpoenaed limited phone data on 8 co-conspirators to overturn the election, they just want a quick $1 million check from the taxpayers instead.

There are many things missing in this graceless age that we’ve taken for granted & one is “gratitude”. Tell those irreplaceable people in your life how much they mean to you while they’re alive & when they pass, express honestly how much you owe them for the priceless quality they gave the world.☮️❤️🖖

No, Venezuela Is Not a ‘Small Latin American Country’
And talk of a quick invasion and easy ‘regime change’ is dangerously misleading.
