Mazel Tov I found some serious cash this week!

Edit: AOU added that insidious flare, not me.

I'm pretty giddy about this, thought I'd share my story...

I had guesstimated and budgeted for minor road repair and the final finish course of asphalt for ~4000ft of road in my subdivision three years ago. Stashed the cash in a bank account and it's been sitting there untouched, just collecting interest. It is the developer's obligation to apply the final course of asphalt prior to submitting private subdivision roads to the town before town acceptance to turn the private road into a town maintained public road.

I budgeted $125K, but the quotes I've received this week for the repairs and paving are around $82K!

It's like I've discovered $43K in after tax cash that I didn't know I had in the pocket of an old pair of jeans. Sweet!

The new windows, siding, roofing, etc planned for my old family homestead is going to cost me $43K less next year, a big chunk of the overall anticipated cost. There is always a good place for extra cash...

Yeah, it was my own damned fault for over budgeting in the first place but it all works out in the end. I'm in a much better situation than if I had under budgeted!

Christians are already persecuted, idiot. And "Organized antisemitism" is still 1st amendment protected.

Jews are a protected class, violating the 1st amendment by giving them special legal protections, and Trump and RFK jr. say that Antisemitism is horrible and a mental health crisis. Making colleges and universities crack down on ANY and ALL "antisemitism" otherwise they get their funding pulled means that Antisemitism - AKA calling jews out on the behavior and/or being pro-White - is even further punished and prevents pro-White groups from popping up in academia. Trump even said he wants to give antisemites the Death Penalty years ago, says jews "rightfully" own congress and that he'll give it back to them. Oh, but wait, that's all 84847238423w728934D chess for you, isn't it?

So really, you're okay with any efforts to squash anti-Jew/Pro-White groups because "Oh, that's what Trump wants!" all while saying you love the 1st amendment which this is a direct violation of. So fuck you once again. Your word games aren't gonna trick me.

You deny that White Genocide is going on in the world, your words are as poisoned as the jews.

I'm Christian and I certainly don't feel persecuted here. Are you even in the US? We were founded by Christians and are still Christian dominant. Christians are armed to the teeth here, only damned fools would try to persecute us.

I explained my understanding of what Trump was trying to accomplish with federally funded organizations that were specifically targeting jews. If there is more to it, I will need to check into it. I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to it because as long as Trump is not violating the constitution, it has no impact on me ... and there are many more important issues (to me) that I have spent my limited time following.

Don't break your back bending too hard on that.

Actually I don't intend to expend any effort on it until somebody can bring the sauce to support their outrageous claims.
