So these Austin police that killed the Senegalese terrorists, apparently the DA wanted to have a grand jury against the cops.

Oh, my God.

but now that it's been publicized, apparently they're backing off of that and he's claiming it never happened.

And so it looks like it's going the way it should.

Um, but you know, Garza made a statement, my office is not seeking any charges.

Um, but there was this dispute about that.

I think Abbott was, um,

saying you know i don't care what happens basically because i have the final say over what happens to these cops so i think he was stepping in saying look if i need to i'm going to pardon these guys um so but apparently there's lots of fun happening in texas there yeah and then in um other news uh 60 percent of gen c wants to go into the trades i think we talked about that with

It doesn't sound familiar to me, but I can take a look for it.

I don't know.

Well, I like this one.

Apparently, there are some Republican senators who are pushing for capital gains taxes to be indexed to inflation.

So basically, if you hold a stock or some investment over a large number of years, you pay the capital gains based on what you paid for it versus what it's worth now.

And it may have gone up a lot in that time, but a lot of that is really just inflation.

And so I think Ted Cruz and Tim Scott are actually trying to get Besson to do it in the treasury, meaning it wouldn't even have to go through legislation to try and index the capital gains to inflation so that you wouldn't be taxed on the inflation part of it.

And apparently that's about one third of all the capital gains that are out there.

That would potentially boost a lot of savings and give a lot of money back to people on their homes if they're going to have capital gains on their home sales.

Certainly all the retirement funds and things might be affected with that too.

So I doubt it'll happen, but I like the creative thinking and it does seem like the Republicans are consistently on the side of trying to lower taxes as opposed to saying how can we raise them, which is a very stark difference with the Democrats.

In the distraction department, there's more UFO news.
