House Republicans @HouseGOP - Tax season is here, and Republicans are delivering.
The Working Families Tax Cuts INCREASED the standard deduction for families to an unprecedented $31,500!
Instead of worrying about itemizing, more than 90% of Americans will be able to take the boosted standard deduction and KEEP MORE OF WHAT THEY EARN.

HustleBitch @HustleBitch_- Video: BEYONCÉ REFUSED TO DRINK FROM JAY-Z’S CUP AT THE GRAMMYS - SHE KNEW
WATCH CLOSELY.
During the 2023 Grammys, Beyonce pulls back and shakes her head no after Jay-Z offers his drink.
No hesitation. Cameras rolling. His face changes instantly. The table goes quiet.
That didn’t look like instinct.
It looked like a decision.
So what exactly did she know?

Isaac’s Army @ReturnOfKappy - Video: CeeLo Green just paraded his 25-year old son Layke (Kingston Callaway) on the Grammys red carpet last night like some satanic family rite....

This is typical illuminati behavior..

John Daniel Davidson @johnddavidson - “Over the course of the 1990s, neoconservatives, neoliberals, bankers - ultimately Epstein's network - built this new social order.”
So as soon as we won the Cold War we imported a Soviet system of corrupt informal government that destroyed our institutions. In a sense we lost.

The Jeff Epstein saga isn't a scandal about pedophilia, it's about a Russian word called 'blat,' a Soviet-era word meaning'the use of personal networks for obtaining goods and services in short supply and for circumventing formal procedures.' It's about a kind of government.
-
As with the large number of 'blatniks' in the Soviet era who made sure their factories got what they needed outside the formal state procurement process, Epstein greased the wheels for the neoliberal state. His job was governance.
-
What does that mean? Well it's clear that Epstein was an entrepreneurial broker across multiple public and private bureaucracies, helping organize 'under-the-table' deals among the legal, business, intelligence, and political elites to allow them to escape the rule of law and traditional conflict of interest restrictions. It's statecraft to allow a superclass to systemically escape the formalized rules.
-
The pedophilia and prostitution were part of it - that is obviously violating the rule of law - but so are the random favors Epstein bestowed. Like Epstein sending Senator Joe Manchin's request for a yacht, a request which came from the First lady of the Virginia Islands, to a random NY financier who might have one. Or working with Joi Ito at MIT and billionaire Reid Hoffman to restructure the Bitcoin Foundation. It's all about matching capital and talent and inputs outside of the restrictions ordinary people are subject to.
-
This kind of governance is particularly important in Soviet-style states, where everyone knows the rules are fake, where skirting the system IS the system. Epstein and his affiliates thrived because of the weakened institutions of the United States, institutions enfeebled in many cases by the men in his network, like Larry Summers. These men adopted multiple roles - advisor, businessman, academic, board member, regulator - and put on the hat that best maximized their self-interest and the self-interest of their narrow network at that moment.
