BREAKING: Netherlands’ House of Representatives has approved a 36% tax on unrealized capital gains.
The Dutch House of Representatives approved a 36% tax on unrealized capital gains, known as the 'Box 3 Actual Return Tax Law,' designed to target annual, untaxed asset appreciation (including stocks and crypto). Approved on February 12, 2026, this legislation aims for a 2028 implementation, with only forward loss offsets permitted.
Key Details: The law moves beyond taxing assumed returns, shifting to taxing real, unrealized gains. It is expected to pass the Senate due to the majority held by supporting parties.
Impact: Critics warn this could disrupt long-term investment strategies, cause severe liquidity issues (forcing sales to pay taxes), and trigger capital flight.
Context: This follows a court ruling that deemed the previous "Box 3" system (based on assumed returns) illegal.
Support: Despite reservations about complexity, proponents cite fiscal necessity to avoid yearly budget losses of €2.3 billion.

Jeffrey Epstein's good friend Kathryn Ruemmler explains that she ran Obama's vetting and ethics department and was responsible for vetting all of Obama's cabinet members.
Ruemmler also said that she was saddened because Trump had "debased" the Presidency.
Ruemmler was so close to Epstein that she called the convicted sex offender "Uncle Jeffrey."

While 1/3 of the government is SHUT DOWN AND essential workers aren't getting paid, AOC struts off to Munich to talk about taking even MORE money from Americans.
Interviewer: "So when you run for president, are you going to impose a wealth tax or a billionaire’s tax?"
AOC: "We don’t have to wait for any one president to impose a wealth tax. I think that it needs to be done expeditiously."

AOC might be even worse than Kamala Harris when it comes to the word salads.
Watch this and see if you can tell what she's trying to say.

NEW:
Former North Carolina governor Roy Cooper agreed to fast-track the release of 3,500 inmates as part of a racial equity settlement with the NAACP—and the list included 51 convicts serving life sentences for murder or rape,
@AndrewKerrNC reports.
The “early release” list, obtained by Cox’s WSOC-TV as Cooper campaigns for the state’s open Senate seat, came as part of a 2021 settlement with the NAACP, which sued the state over crowded prisons during the pandemic.
The NAACP claimed COVID-era prison conditions were unconstitutional and disproportionately endangered black inmates.
Among the convicts on the list was Tony D. Hartsell, who strangled and beat the 84-year-old North Carolina woman who lived across the street from him before stabbing her 44 times, mutilating her body beyond recognition.
Also included:
-Lorenza D. Norwood, who burned a man alive
-Jervon K. Wilks, convicted of sexually abusing a 7-year-old child
-Louis E. Boyd, who raped his 12-year-old stepdaughter
All walked free after decades behind bars.
Cooper’s campaign now insists the governor had nothing to do with the releases, arguing the inmates were already parole-eligible when the settlement was reached.
More than 90 percent of the 51 lifers on the list, however, were released after the settlement took effect, raising fresh questions about Cooper’s record on crime as governor of the Tar Heel State.
Cooper has already faced criticism over the issue thanks to his “racial equity” task force that pushed to eliminate cash bail for certain crimes.
That policy led to the release of career criminal Decarlos Brown not long before he senselessly murdered Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte subway train, the Free Beacon reported.

Here is one of @RepThomasMassie alleged "survivors"Elizabeth Stein
She works for Tides Foundation (soros open society funded) funded World Without Exploitation
They produced the superbowl commercial of "victims" this past weekend
She was a FULL GROWN ASS WOMAN when she met Maxwell at her job at 21 years old
She formed a 3 year friendship with Epstein and Maxwell……..apparently sexual
She didn't realize she was trafficked until 30 years later when Epstein was sentenced.
She attempted but failed to recover funds from the Victims fund
Maxwell's attorney pointed out she did not legally qualify as a “crime victim” under the CVRA and she received no payout.
But she sure did try.
WTAF are we doing here, people??

And just like that, despite the recent volatility, gold just posted the highest weekly close on record.
Silver’s corrections are resetting positioning and moving the market from weak hands to more patient capital.
Some near-term digestion would be perfectly healthy, but the broader trend remains firmly intact.
More importantly:
At these metal prices, many mining companies are generating substantial cash flow.
The setup continues to look very constructive.
Game on.

and jd for the ballbreaking tie kek
🚨 JUST IN: Now that we have 50 Senate votes for the SAVE America Act, Vice President JD VANCE can swoop in and break the tie, enshrining voter ID and citizenship into our laws
ALL we need to do is have Sen. John Thune force Dems to a standing filibuster — and OUTLAST them for hours
Make them debate against the 85-15 issue of voter ID on the Senate floor.
Make the mainstream media cover it. Flood the airwaves: Democrats OPPOSE VOTER ID.
The political pain will grow so much, Democrats will lose, and we can pass with 50 votes + JD!
Thank you Susan Collins for joining as the 50th 🇺🇸
