Wealth Obsession: A Path to Trouble and Turmoil


In the United States, there is a federal gift tax that applies to gifts made by an individual to others during their lifetime. However, there is a generous exemption amount that allows you to give away certain gifts without incurring gift taxes. In 2021, the exemption amount is $15,000 per person per year.

In your case, you want to give your daughter and her husband a combined $50,000. Since the exemption amount is $15,000, you would be gifting $35,000 over the exemption limit. However, you and your spouse can each gift up to $15,000 to your daughter and her husband without incurring gift taxes. This means that you can split the gift between you and your spouse, gifting $15,000 each, and stay within the exemption limit.

It is essential to note that this exemption is a lifetime limit, and any gifts exceeding this limit will be subtracted from your lifetime exemption amount, which is currently set at $11.7 million per individual. If you've already used a portion of this exemption, you may need to consider the gift tax implications.

To ensure you're following the rules correctly, it's advisable to consult a tax professional or an attorney experienced in estate planning and tax law. They can provide you with personalized advice and help you navigate the complexities of gift taxes and estate planning.

The Taliban

This isn't the time to talk of any investments. First and foremost you have to show leadership to attract any investments. Not just saying we welcome anybody. This isn't foreign policy. That means subtly saying in the future we will allow anyone to use our country as a base to carry out any terrorist activity. This will create instability in the region from drugs, weapons and equipment. Can you introduce us to the team probing into the killing of Ayman al-Zawahiri? It's almost one year completed you still act like a group. Can you call for a referendum because you say that the people must want education for girls and women. Can you bring your people to vote whether they want education for girls and women? Just saying that people must decide on women and girls education, who are these people? Are they people in your group or the afghan population? You are open to have any agreement with anyone, but for this region we need openness for anyone in this region to tru...

The Endless Cycle of Misinformation and Deflection: Biden, Harris, and the 2024 Campaign

For four long years, a column was being written in the press, a persistent narrative that followed President Joe Biden through his term in office. Every time Biden faced tough questions or criticism, he would pause, take a deep breath, and yell back, branding the conversation as either "misinformation" or "disinformation." It became almost a hallmark of his response—deflecting any criticism by labeling it as part of some broader, nefarious campaign to distort the truth.  This strategy came full circle the day Biden signed his name to a critical decision: his reelection announcement for 2024. By deciding to run again, Biden’s reelection bid felt like the culmination of a column that had been continuously drafted, edited, and critiqued. His familiar refrain against “misinformation” became, in essence, the core message of his defense—any challenge to his policies or leadership was dismissed as an attack not based on facts but on falsehoods. But the story didn’t end the...
