My step mom uses quicken to do her finances with, but is getting tired of the continual price increases, I was hoping folks that do their own finances might know of software that works for windows format that isn't outrageous. I use Excel myself, but apparently she want's something a bit more user friendly

This morning I was in the process of uploading a video I created about making the GREATEST Margarita in the world. However, I noticed there was no monetization button. When I checked further I noticed my entire channel had been demonetized (again). On top of that there was NO explanation from YouTube for the demonetization either on the dashboard or via email which always happened when they demonetized before. I checked on Twitter and it turns out that many other video creators had the same experience. For what I can piece together is that YouTube only meant to demonetize all...

A British journalist has been arrested by UK police for allegedly posting a “grossly offensive message” online. Officers from the UK’s Surrey Police force arrested journalist Caroline Farrow at her home. According to Farrow, police forced their way into her home, without a warrant, and raided the property. The officers reportedly seized Farrow’s electronic devices, took her into custody, and questioned her at Guildford Police Station. Farrow was later released but remains under investigation. The mother of five has denied posting the messages, however. She says that she was falsely accused of posting messages that were written by other people....

My name is Helena, and as of this writing I’m a 23-year-old woman who, as a teenager, believed I was transgender. In the years since detransitioning (stopping testosterone treatment and no longer seeing myself as transgender), I’ve become interested in exploring why, in the last decade, nearly every English-speaking country has seen a meteoric rise in adolescents believing they are transgender and pursuing cosmetic medical and surgical interventions. Here, I’d like to go over how and why I came to see myself as transgender, the process of transitioning, and the events leading up to and following my detransition. The short...

- Bill Gates is sounding the alarm on political polarization in the US. - "Political polarization may bring it all to an end, we're going to have a hung election and a civil war," he told Forbes recently. - Gates, who has been the target of many conspiracy theories over the years, also pointed out the dangers of misinformation. Bill Gates usually focuses on issues like poverty and infectious diseases through his charitable foundation, but another problem on his mind is the polarization of US politics. "I admit that political polarization may bring it all to an end, we're...

This week, whistle-blowers in the Department of Justice revealed that since Biden took office Facebook has been forwarding copies of the private correspondence of its customers to the FBI. "I want to clarify that it's not all of our customers whose communications have been passed on," Erica Sackin, a spokesperson at Facebook's parent company Meta, said. "Only those who have questioned the legitimacy of President Biden's 2020 election victory have been targeted. As the President made clear in his recent speech, the country's democracy is being attacked by malicious MAGA extremists. It is every American's patriotic duty to help the...

John Durham’s team has known of these discrepancies for years but has failed to hold responsible those who used the CIA to target a political opponent with false smears. Awhitepaper obtained first by The Federalist suggests Special Counsel John Durham botched the investigation of a second Russia collusion hoax, the one concerning Yota cellphones. In a scandal linked to the Spygate operation, Hillary Clinton cronies peddled to the CIA fake evidence they claimed established Donald Trump and his associates were using the Russian-made Yota cellphones in the vicinity of the White House and other key locations. The news of this...

A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY The New York Times reported that the Justice Department issued about 40 subpoenas for communications of former President Donald J. Trump advisers over the past week. They are seeking information about their actions related to the 2020 election and the Jan. 6, 2021, “attack on the Capitol.” It was not an attack on the Capitol. There was a riot. Most people harassed and jailed by the DOJ were just walking around inside the Capitol without permission. The people at the Capitol came unarmed. It couldn’t compare with the years of Antifa and Black Lives Matter violence...

Gab is an amazing social media forum. They don't moderate users, well except for porn and direct threats of violence. It also has more features than Truth Social, Twitter, and even Facebook. I even created a group (just now) and made it private called "Freerepublic". I'm hoping more users go there to experience what freedom on the Internet is like. Also here's a tip: You can create your own filters to block things you don't want to see. Like N-word, Hitler, Obama, etc...

FBI Conceals Chinese Infiltration of U.S. Election Software "This is a red Chinese communist op run against the United States by Chinese operatives and it's a disaster." In a live chat released on Monday, Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips, appeared together on “truethevote.locals.com” to discuss their 15-month involvement with what was characterized to them as a “counter-intelligence operation” with the Federal Bureau of Investigation into American election company Konnech Inc. Konnech, which is based out of East Lansing, Michigan, builds software to manage the poll workers, poll locations, campaigns, assets, and supplies necessary to run elections in the United States,...

| Get ready to be shocked. Another “mistake” by a social media company just so happened to benefit Democrats heading into an election. Isn’t it so weird how that keeps happening? In this case, Snap (formerly known as Snapchat), says it “inadvertently” exposed collected data on Republican voters to Democrat firms. Those firms then used that data to target political ads before the mid-terms. Axios has the story, though they frame it exactly as you’d expect. A slip-up by social media giant Snap allowed leading Democratic campaigns and party committees to unwittingly tap into a vast repository of Republican voter...

Glenn Greenwald has been dealing with some family health issues lately and it has kept him from weighing in on political issues, but last night he found the time to post a thread on Twitter which is worth your time. Greenwald methodically points out how the left is systematically stifling dissent through coordination with various people and elements of the state and the media. This is disturbing but a must-read: *********************************************************** The regime of censorship being imposed on the internet – by a consortium of DC Dems, billionaire-funded "disinformation experts," the US Security State, and liberal employees of media corporations...

Today I did this search on Brave using the Brave search engine: "when did trump declassify documents" These are the sources that came up, in order: CBS NBC WSJ Washington Post NY Times Missouri Independent CNN Politico Washington Post FactCheck The Guardian The Hill WSJ Newsweek ALL are liberal sources. Then I used Duckduckgo: Yahoo NY Times WSJ FactCheck Townhall WeLoveTrump Politico ABC PJ Media Yahoo Substack PolitiFact NY Post Rawstory WSJ Washington Post SKEWS to the liberals, but definitely more variety

We now wait to see if any of the fact-checking and social media authorities call out CNN for altering news footage. Here in the aftermath of Joe Biden’s bold, forceful, authoritative, badgering, hectoring, screeching, off-the-rails unPresidential speech on Thursday evening, there are a number of ways to see how poorly received this was. On content alone, this was quite the disturbing delivery, as we watched our president devolve into a hysteric, carping and complaining about Republicans and leveling accusatory hyperbole like we have not seen from the White House prior. Another indicator that this thing jumped the trestle and plunged...

There’s an important update on the lawsuit that Missouri and Louisiana filed back in May against members of the Biden Administration, including Joe Biden, to expose the collusion between them and social media companies to censor speech on a variety of subjects–including things like the Hunter Biden laptop and COVID.“Big Tech has become an extension of Biden’s Big Government, and neither are protecting the freedoms of Americans; rather, they are suppressing truth and demonizing those who think differently,” said Attorney General Landry. “Ripped from the playbook of Stalin and his ilk, Biden has been colluding with Big Tech to censor...

Google is barring Truth Social from the Google Play Store, meaning a reported 44 percent of Americans can’t access the pro-free speech application. “Google is canceling conservatives ahead of an election. They’re not even hiding their efforts to sway elections anymore,” tweeted Media Research Center President Brent Bozell. Axios reported that Google has not yet approved Truth Social’s Android app for distribution on the Google Play Store. CEO of Truth Social Devin Nunes said “when” former President Donald Trump’s social media app will be available on Android is “up to the Google Play Store.” […] Former President Trump blasted Google’s...

Radio host Larry Elder exposed President Joe Biden’s student debt forgiveness plan as a scam that hoodwinks the working class into subsidizing the wealthy elite.

I was lucky enough to attend the PIT event hosted by Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips of True the Vote which was held the weekend of August 12th. The information they revealed was jaw-dropping. The PIT provided attendees with the Tiger Project information, and like many other diggers from this community, I have been digging into the data ever since. Catherine and Gregg found massive corruption when they stumbled across Konnech Inc., an American election technology company founded in 2002, based in Okemos outside of East Lansing, Michigan. Konnech’s website describes their PollChief software products, which include the Election Worker...
