The audacious auditing of the IRS and desire to strip it of its ability to confiscate a huge fraction of our earnings to give to insiders, bribe voters, or just set on fire for no reason is an attack on Our Democracy™️!
Where will it stop?!?!
"By justice a king builds up the land, but he who exacts gifts tears it down."
Proverbs 29:4.
Interesting to note that 'exacts gifts' may be translated 'taxes heavily.'
It's almost as if taxation is destructive, who knew?!
Just enjoying summer, grilling, waving to my neighbors, wondering if they realize what kind of inanity is imminent in the world, and being glad I have a pile of sats
"Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked."
Proverbs 25:26
Good morning Nostr
Wealth gained hastily will dwindle,
but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.
Proverbs 13:11 (ESV)
In other words, stay humble and stack sats

Q & A 110
Q. What does God forbid
in the eighth commandment?
A. God forbids not only outright theft and robbery,
punishable by law.1
But in God’s sight theft also includes
all scheming and swindling
in order to get our neighbor’s goods for ourselves,
whether by force or means that appear legitimate,2
such as
inaccurate measurements of weight, size, or volume;
fraudulent merchandising;
counterfeit money;
excessive interest;
or any other means forbidden by God.3
In addition God forbids all greed4
and pointless squandering of his gifts.5

From the Heidelberg Catechism
🚨ATTN Bitcoiners, today we ask for your help. Please read.
Estela Aguilar, known locally as the Abuelita, is the founder of the first farmer's market to accept Bitcoin in Costa Rica.
Her story is inspiring. She has fought harder & sacrificed more than anyone I've ever met to defend her personal sovereignty, freedom & way of life.
She recently sat down for an interview that will both make your jaw drop and warm your heart. All in 3 minutes. Be sure to watch this video, it's the best one you will see today on Twitter.
As a mother of 6, she's been shot, beaten, arrested & jailed while defending her small farm in the countryside from multinational corporations looking to take her land.
This 74 year old woman instinctually knew that Bitcoin is freedom money and she was all in from the very first day we met. Every week, she gladly sells the products of her farm for Bitcoin. She's a natural born HODLr.
Just a couple weeks ago, she took in a family of Venezuelan migrants and provided them with shelter, food, clothes, medicine, anything they needed. Putting politics aside, she saw people in need and she gave with all her heart.
In return, one of these migrants (while on drugs & alcohol), intentionally set fire to every structure on her little farm burning it to the ground. Then they disappeared.
She's filed a police report, but doesn't expect anything to happen- these people are long gone.
We're asking you to donate some sats to help rebuild her home. Anything helps.
