| Posted on Friday, May 16 @ 00:00:32 PDT (4 reads) | |
|
The whiteford g. Smith house at 263 haywood street in asheville, north carolina, was added to the national register of historic places on may 4, 2005. This two-and-a-half-story house was built in 1894, and it displays the queen anne architectural style. Its unknown who the architect was. The house has a wraparound porch supported by turned posts and decorative brackets. There are five-panel doors inside the home that contain their original hardware. The smith house is important because of its architecture. It was built by whiteford gamel smith (1859-1933) , a druggist in downtown asheville. (According to the find-a-grave record, his first name on his grave marker was spelled whitefoord, which could be an error.) Smith was born in greenwood, south carolina. He was a veteran of the spanish-american war and world war i. He graduated from maryland pharmaceutical college in 1890. Smith is notable because he was the builder and original owner of the house. Smith died on december 30, 1933, at age 74. After he sold the house, he was living at 249 cumberland avenue in asheville according to his certificate of death. The smith house is one of a few queen anne-styled houses in asheville which has some of the architectural features common to the late 1800s. Smith lived in the house until he sold it to james baxter bostic in 1897. Bostic lived in the house until 1906. Bostic was one of the founders of the asheville loan and construction company and part owner of bostic brothers. When he came to asheville in 1887, he was involved in the loan business and real estate development. He was also associated with the development of some of the subdivisions in asheville. After bostic sold the house, he relocated to kansas city, missouri. During the 1980s, the house was divided into apartments. There continued to be a few more owners of the house until it was sold it to 263 haywood street, llc in 2003. The house was carefully renovated into offices . According to zillow, the property was last sold on september 14, 2017 . Thanks for reading and sharing. |

tax refund can be a nice reprieve after going through the tedious task of doing your taxes. If you have a refund, how can you make the most of that refund? What are some financially strategic moves you can make? Sam taube, nerdwallet investing spokesperson and writer joins cassidy clement to discuss.
summary – cents of security podcasts ep. 97 the following is a summary of a live audio recording and may contain errors in spelling or grammar. Although ibkr has edited for clarity no material changes have been made .
cassidy clement welcome back to the cents of security podcast . I’m cassidy clement, senior manager of seo and content at interactive brokers, and today i’m your host for the podcast. Our guest is sam taub, investing spokesperson and writer at nerdwallet. I—tax refunds can be a nice reprieve after going through the tedious task of doing your taxes every year.
if you have a refund, how exactly can you make the most of that? And what are some financially strategic moves that you can make? Welcome to the program, sam.
sam taube thanks for having me on.
cassidy clement yeah, so since it’s your first episode, why don’t you tell our listeners a little bit about your background in the industry?
sam taube so i have been a financial journalist for most of the last decade. I’m currently the lead investing writer and spokesperson for nerdwallet, and i also write our email newsletter, the nerdy investor . I—
cassidy clement awesome. So when we’re talking about today’s magic topic of tax refunds, most people—at least when we’re recording this—have met tax deadline: yesterday, april 15th, the magic day, right? I—
sam taube hopefully.
cassidy clement yeah, hopefully. There’s a lot of things that go into that—hope and prayers and dreams that maybe you get a refund or that at least you were budgeting the right amount.
but most people are familiar with the phrasing, “okay, tax season or tax refunds.” But when it comes down to it, does it usually range on how you file and how much you make? Or is it more predictable for most?
sam taube there are a lot of variables that affect the size of your refund or the size of your bill. One of the biggest is just the nature of your income. Salaried employees—people who are w2 workers—generally have income taxes automatically withheld from their paychecks, as do people receiving unemployment payments.
and in those cases—in many of those cases—just filing your taxes is often enough to entitle you to a refund. Different if you’re a small business owner or a 1099 worker, like an independent contractor. Those people don’t necessarily get automatic withholding, and they often need to pay estimated taxes quarterly in order to be eligible for a refund at tax time. If they don’t, they often end up with a really big bill.
then retirees can go either way. Retirees who are withdrawing from a traditional 401(k) or ira, or those who have not opted for taxes to be withheld from their social security checks—they’re generally in the bucket where they need to pay in advance if they want to get a refund at tax time.
cassidy clement there’s a lot of elements there that you mentioned. Are there some other things that maybe were more along the lines of, like, some credits or deductions? I know you mentioned a lot about status.
sam taube certainly, deductions also play a really big role. Now, most taxpayers don’t have enough itemized deductions to make itemizing worthwhile—which means that they’re generally best off taking the standard deduction. But the standard deduction varies in size based on your filing status—single versus married filing jointly, versus head of household, etc.
so that is another major variable that affects the size of your refund or bill.
cassidy clement so when we’re going to utilize tax refunds, most people are gonna say it depends on the size, right? But let’s say you get a substantial one. Maybe it’s your first year outta school and you got a full-time job—which was maybe a very different level of full-time income compared to maybe a part-time job during schooling.
what are some ways that you can utilize a tax refund to move towards more positive financial goals? Maybe it’s retirement funds or paying off loans, things of that nature?
sam taube before i answer that, i should just say that i’m not speaking as a financial advisor here. And if you’re unsure about the best way to utilize something like a tax refund, talking to a financial advisor can be one place to start. And if you don’t have one, there are a number of kind of online shopping tools—and nerdwallet is one of them—that can help you get connected with a financial advisor.
now, having gotten that little disclaimer outta the way—at the moment, a lot of people are looking for ways to increase the resiliency of their personal finances amid the uncertainty we’ve been going through the last couple months. Advisors say that two of the most important things you can do to prepare for a period of economic volatility or a potential recession are to build up an emergency fund with three to six months of living expenses and also to pay down high-interest debts, such as credit cards.
we’re talking about debts here whose apr is much higher than you’d reasonably be able to earn in the stock market under normal circumstances. Those are definitely two things that i think a lot of people are thinking about right now as we watch the stock market whipsaw, and we wonder what’s next for the economy.
cassidy clement yeah, the three words that stand out to me there are resiliency, uncertainty, and volatility. It’s like in the times of uncertainty and volatility, people would like to see some type of retention within their money or their cash flow that shows a resiliency over time—especially when you’re just starting out or you’re looking to have a larger purchase.
but let’s say that you decide, “okay, i would like to incorporate some of this refund into a financial strategy.” What are some things to keep in mind? Initially, you might think you’re never guaranteed to get back what you put in—or even more—you may lose it all. But what are some other things to keep in mind?
sam taube i think when it comes to the idea of investing a refund, one thing to keep in mind is that the timing of refunds isn’t always perfectly predictable.
on a similar note, if you’re planning to invest your refund, it’s worth keeping in mind that it would likely be a lump-sum investment, which is a little different than the small recurring contributions a lot of people make to their retirement accounts. Now, this isn’t a good or bad thing necessarily. Investing a large lump sum can be quite profitable if you happen to do it at the bottom of a bear market or in the early stages of a bull market—but it’s almost impossible to identify those things in advance.
if the market takes a turn for the worse after you invest a lump sum, that can hurt. But one way to mitigate that risk is to initially put your refund in just a savings or checking account and transfer small recurring amounts of it into your investments over time. That kind of allows you to take advantage of the same kind of dollar-cost averaging effect that people get when they contribute to a 401(k) with their paycheck.
cassidy clement yeah, and i think a lot of people will—you were talking about whipsaws earlier—start to look at their refund and say, “wait a second, maybe i should really take a beat and think about where i’m gonna put this now.” Because we’ve seen some pretty high volatility when we’re actually settling down a little bit—if that’s even possible.
if that does happen—no one knows the future—but when the year moves on and we start to see or get an idea of the income that we’re going to make, or the potential income that may be on the horizon, what are some things to keep in mind for the upcoming tax year that may potentially yield a higher tax refund? There’s many different things that come into consideration, like deductions, status, and what goes towards retirement or hsas, or timing for your mortgage. What are some things that people should keep in mind from more of the expert perspective and research that you’ve found?
sam taube as you mentioned—401(k)s, iras, and health savings accounts—tax-advantaged investment accounts of various kinds are a great way to reduce your bill for the upcoming tax year. And it’s worth mentioning—we’re a little too late for this for the 2024 tax year—but you actually have until tax day to make contributions to those sorts of accounts.
so, for example, if it’s the end of 2025 and you’re looking for ways to reduce your tax bill come april, you can generally still make contributions to those sorts of accounts up to tax day in april 2026. Those sorts of accounts, because they allow contributions to be deducted from your taxes, can definitely be a good resource.
if you’re investing in a taxable brokerage account, it might be worth learning a bit about tax-loss harvesting. This is a technique where some investors will strategically sell investments that have a negative return so that they can claim those losses and use them to cancel out taxable capital gains.
you can do this with up to $3,000 worth of losses per year, and if you have more losses than that, you can carry them over to cancel out gains in future years. And finally, another thing that might be worth considering to folks who have a lot of money in taxable brokerage accounts and are wondering how to lower their tax liability is looking into some tax-exempt fixed income investments.
in the most recent issue of nerdwallet’s investing newsletter, we gave an overview of some tax-exempt bond investments like municipal bonds and municipal bond funds that promise federal and sometimes also state and amt tax exemptions. There are a number of options out there that can allow you to earn a return in a way that is not taxable.
cassidy clement you mentioned tax-loss harvesting, which was great. We actually have an upcoming podcast on that, and you’re right—it’s definitely intricate and it does take a very keen eye to know if the situation is right for yourself.
but one other part that i wanted to ask you about before we wrap up is the element of new credits or new tax credits that may apply to new elements of your life. Are there certain things that come to mind for you or that you think about or write about that people may not initially think of?
i guess a quick one that comes to mind is dependents. Sometimes people forget about that in the sense of maybe they had a major life change or maybe they had an income change within the year.
sam taube dependents are definitely a major tax break for many people. That’s something—one more time—dependents are a pretty big tax break for many people, and making sure that you have your paperwork in order to properly claim any dependent-related credits that you’re entitled to, that’s another thing that is worth talking to a financial advisor about if you’re not sure how to get those things in order.
another tax credit that i think is worth mentioning—we talked earlier about how small business owners and independent contractors often have a very different tax situation than salaried employees—a tax credit worth considering if you’re in that situation is the tax credit for obtaining health insurance coverage through a health insurance marketplace.
i believe the form for that is called 1095-c, and i can personally say from years when i’ve worked as a freelance journalist, that one can make a really big difference. So make sure that all that information is entered correctly in your tax return.
cassidy clement yeah, there’s definitely a lot of elements that are associated with what you do for a living, how you file, how many people are in your household—if you want to call it that. I remember in the years i was in school, in college, getting a form for my tuition that i would reference on my taxes. That would help, i hope, offset some things when it came to what i would owe.
but you brought up some awesome points today, sam. Thanks for joining us.
sam taube of course. Thanks for having me on.

Brooklyn’s crusader for homeownership and football
by fern gillespie
football and real estate have always been intertwined in tywan anthony’s life. He balances a longtime career in real estate as director of property management & real estate training at neighborhood housing services of new york city with his passion project as the founder and executive director of brooklyn’s nonprofit football team, the new york crusaders.
born and raised in bed stuy, he moved to florida with his family to play high school football as a teen. While at pittsburg state university in kansas, majoring in political science and business management on a football scholarship, a friend introduced him to the value of a career in real estate.
for over the last 15 years, as a licensed real estate broker, he’s been a commercial property manager specializing in retail open air shopping centers throughout the northeast and midwest; worked in real estate asset management, taught real estate courses at baruch and medgar evers colleges; operated as a real estate inspector and is also an officer in the bedford stuyvesant real estate board. In 2014, he founded the nonprofit new york crusaders football team.
in addition to sports, it focuses on academics and job training for black male athletes between 18 and 32. Our time press recently spoke with tywan anthony, who is married with two small children, about balancing his dual careers in real estate and nonprofit football.
otp:how do you advise black homeowners on real estate asset management?
ta: your home is your asset. What do we do with this asset? Maintenance is always an issue. It’s the maintenance that will hinder individuals from making the needed repairs. That will cause the home to go into disrepair. If it goes down that rabbit hole, eventually that home will be sold. Apparently, that family can’t afford to maintain that home properly.
so, what i’m looking at is ensuring what plan we can create to manage this asset better to make the needed repairs. In brooklyn, the housing stock is old. So, we have issues and types that need to be repaired regularly. If you go years without repairing, you could be looking at $20,000 – $15,000 for repairs. Not many of our folks have 15,000 or $20,000 on hand to make the repairs. Financial planning is key. I have a couple of different brackets of where i put my money. Every month i’m putting money aside.
my wife and i do it together for general home repairs and maintenance. We look at a project every year that we want to do. Whether it’s inside repair, roof repair, garage repair or painting. Places like neighborhood housing services of new york city have loans that they give out. Like emergency loans there are programs for roof leaks. There are resources that homeowners can access to make sure these things get done.
otp: growing up in bedford stuyvesant, were your family homeowners?
ta: my grandmother was the first one in her friends’ circle to purchase a house. That house was on spencer street and dekalb in bed stuy. My family moved around brooklyn. The price of the housing stock was a lot less than what it is right now. My grandmother bought her house working at kings county hospital with an annual salary of no more than $30,000.
my great aunt was able to buy her property in the 1960s or 1970s for $ 15,000 or $20,000, the same as my grandmother. At one time, my family has six or seven properties all at one time. My family was big on home ownership. Homeowners are vested in what’s happening on their block in their community.
otp: is it realistic that black brooklyn residents with average incomes can afford to buy a home in the borough?
ta: it’s still there, but you have to be creative as you approach that process. A good strategy, in terms of being able to buy a home, is buying it with a significant other. Using the power of both your incomes. The good news is that if you have a 401(k) or a job where you can ask for a loan, you can use those funds for a down payment.
otp: what inspired you to launch a nonprofit organization, new york crusaders, dedicated to football?
ta: football took me through college. It helped me keep focus. For a lot of us, it’s something–whether it’s sports or art or something else–it grounds us and it propels us to be good in other aspects of life. I wanted to reiterate my college football experience. That’s what i try to do with the young athletes that we have on our team.
some played football in college. Some of them will never go to college. Or experience college football outside of what we do when we play our games at boys and girls high school. We have a marching band. We have vendors. We try to create a college football environment. We play teams in the big east league.
the new york crusaders are not just about the football. Our organization is also about making better young men. We try to empower our young athletes, economically, academically, and athletically through our program.
otp: how did you utilize your business skills to help you create a nonprofit football team?
ta: everything that i’ve done, real estate-wise and community-wise, has helped me with my team, and vice versa. I’ve been on the bedford stuyvesant real estate board for over 10 years. I was vice chair and am now chair of the economic development committee.
being involved in development projects and meeting different people helped me get funding for my football team. My business skills help me run my team. It all kind of blends together in an interesting, creative way. How community, politics, real estate and my nonprofit football team merge together to create who i am. |

under construction (splitting of normal and rare lunchbox info)
this page is currently undergoing restructuring. It may be edited frequently and some items may appear differently. Please reach out to the user indicated above before making additional changes.

for an overview of lunchboxes, see
|
the vault-tec lunchbox is an activator object and [miscellaneous item](/wiki/fallout_4_miscellaneous_items) in [fallout 4](/wiki/fallout_4). When interacted with, it spawns a random item and becomes collectible.
characteristics[]
a [vault-tec](/wiki/vault-tec_corporation) branded kids lunchbox with depictions of [vault boy](/wiki/vault_boy). The inside of the lunchbox has faint drawings of childrens faces on the front and rear of the box. When activated, or hit by any weapon enough to receive 1 [hit point](/wiki/hit_points) worth of damage,[[1]](#cite_note-acti_destruction-1) a lunchbox will open, releasing confetti, making a short kazoo noise, and dropping one of several possible [consumables](/wiki/fallout_4_consumables) or [junk items](/wiki/fallout_4_junk_items) at random, like a [fork](/wiki/fork_(fallout_4)) or [plastic knife](/wiki/plastic_knife_(fallout_4)). Some lunchboxes have additional [vault girl](/wiki/vault_girl) or [nuka-cola](/wiki/nuka-cola_(fallout_4)) stickers and/or the name of a child on the front or back.[(Note 1)](#endnote_(note_1)) these lunchboxes have a larger pool of possible loot drops, mainly a rarer tier of nuka-cola variants, [collectible robot models](/wiki/knick_knacks), and also [economy wonderglue](/wiki/wonderglue_(fallout_4)). See [below](#item_pool) for the full list of potential drops from both normal and rare lunchboxes.
all lunchboxes found naturally in the worldspace, normal or rare, can be opened via simple interaction (on hover, they read open instead of take), have 100 [hit points](/wiki/hit_points), and can be collected as a miscellaneous item after being opened as long as they did not receive 100 or more points of damage; if this happens, the lunchbox will break and become uncollectible.[[1]](#cite_note-acti_destruction-1)
the collectible open lunchbox that is left behind is a separate miscellaneous item that has 1 hit point worth of health, so if hit again, it will also be destroyed. The collectible lunchbox will always be a normal lunchbox, even if it was obtained from a rare lunchbox (one with stickers). In fact, the collectible lunchbox can also be obtained unopened from other places, namely from some [merchants](/wiki/fallout_4_merchants) and from the [builder](/wiki/builder) workshop object in the [contraptions workshop](/wiki/contraptions_workshop) [add-on](/wiki/fallout_4_add-ons). The only way to open these lunchboxes is to hit them, which means they will always be destroyed after being opened. Furthermore, they are considered normal lunchboxes, so they only have the standard pool of loot drops when opened.[[2]](#cite_note-misc_destruction-2)
this also means it is possible to get two items from a single lunchbox, but only for ones that are naturally placed in the worldspace. After opening the lunchbox once, pick up the opened collectible lunchbox and then drop it from the inventory. This will reset the opened lunchbox into an unopened one, which can then be hit with any weapon to drop a second item. However, this also means the lunchbox will be destroyed.
a vault-tec lunchbox is one of the required items to craft the [bottlecap mine](/wiki/bottlecap_mine_(fallout_4)) at the [chemistry station](/wiki/chemistry_station_(fallout_4)).
locations[]
both normal and rare vault-tec lunchboxes can be found all over [the commonwealth](/wiki/the_commonwealth), but are most commonly found in vault-tec locations, [vaults](/wiki/vault), and schools. Normal vault-tec lunchboxes are also sold by [myrna](/wiki/myrna)/[percy](/wiki/percy_(fallout_4)) in [diamond city](/wiki/diamond_city) and [daisy](/wiki/daisy_(fallout_4)) at [goodneighbor](/wiki/goodneighbor). Alternatively, with the [contraptions workshop](/wiki/contraptions_workshop) add-on, it is possible to use the [builder](/wiki/builder) to produce normal vault-tec lunchboxes at the cost of 3 pieces of [steel](/wiki/steel_(fallout_4)).[(Note 2)](#endnote_(note_2))

the vault-tec lunchbox is an activator object and [miscellaneous item](/wiki/fallout_4_miscellaneous_items) in [fallout 4](/wiki/fallout_4). When interacted with, it spawns a random item and becomes collectible.
characteristics[]
a [vault-tec](/wiki/vault-tec_corporation) branded kids lunchbox with depictions of [vault boy](/wiki/vault_boy). The inside of the lunchbox has faint drawings of childrens faces on the front and rear of the box. When activated, or hit by any weapon enough to receive 1 [hit point](/wiki/hit_points) worth of damage,[[1]](#cite_note-acti_destruction-1) a lunchbox will open, releasing confetti, making a short kazoo noise, and dropping one of several possible [consumables](/wiki/fallout_4_consumables) or [junk items](/wiki/fallout_4_junk_items) at random, like a [fork](/wiki/fork_(fallout_4)) or [plastic knife](/wiki/plastic_knife_(fallout_4)). Some lunchboxes have additional [vault girl](/wiki/vault_girl) or [nuka-cola](/wiki/nuka-cola_(fallout_4)) stickers and/or the name of a child on the front or back.[(Note 1)](#endnote_(note_1)) these lunchboxes have a larger pool of possible loot drops, mainly a rarer tier of nuka-cola variants, [collectible robot models](/wiki/knick_knacks), and also [economy wonderglue](/wiki/wonderglue_(fallout_4)). See [below](#item_pool) for the full list of potential drops from both normal and rare lunchboxes.
all lunchboxes found naturally in the worldspace, normal or rare, can be opened via simple interaction (on hover, they read open instead of take), have 100 [hit points](/wiki/hit_points), and can be collected as a miscellaneous item after being opened as long as they did not receive 100 or more points of damage; if this happens, the lunchbox will break and become uncollectible.[[1]](#cite_note-acti_destruction-1)
the collectible open lunchbox that is left behind is a separate miscellaneous item that has 1 hit point worth of health, so if hit again, it will also be destroyed. The collectible lunchbox will always be a normal lunchbox, even if it was obtained from a rare lunchbox (one with stickers). In fact, the collectible lunchbox can also be obtained unopened from other places, namely from some [merchants](/wiki/fallout_4_merchants) and from the [builder](/wiki/builder) workshop object in the [contraptions workshop](/wiki/contraptions_workshop) [add-on](/wiki/fallout_4_add-ons). The only way to open these lunchboxes is to hit them, which means they will always be destroyed after being opened. Furthermore, they are considered normal lunchboxes, so they only have the standard pool of loot drops when opened.[[2]](#cite_note-misc_destruction-2)
this also means it is possible to get two items from a single lunchbox, but only for ones that are naturally placed in the worldspace. After opening the lunchbox once, pick up the opened collectible lunchbox and then drop it from the inventory. This will reset the opened lunchbox into an unopened one, which can then be hit with any weapon to drop a second item. However, this also means the lunchbox will be destroyed.
a vault-tec lunchbox is one of the required items to craft the [bottlecap mine](/wiki/bottlecap_mine_(fallout_4)) at the [chemistry station](/wiki/chemistry_station_(fallout_4)).
locations[]
both normal and rare vault-tec lunchboxes can be found all over [the commonwealth](/wiki/the_commonwealth), but are most commonly found in vault-tec locations, [vaults](/wiki/vault), and schools. Normal vault-tec lunchboxes are also sold by some vendors, including [myrna](/wiki/myrna)/[percy](/wiki/percy_(fallout_4)) in [diamond city](/wiki/diamond_city) and [daisy](/wiki/daisy_(fallout_4)) at [goodneighbor](/wiki/goodneighbor). Alternatively, with the [contraptions workshop](/wiki/contraptions_workshop) add-on, it is possible to use the [builder](/wiki/builder) to produce normal vault-tec lunchboxes at the cost of 3 pieces of [steel](/wiki/steel_(fallout_4)).[(Note 2)](#endnote_(note_2))
the tables below list locations where vault-tec lunchboxes can be found, in alphabetical order.

| Its Time To End Federal Control Of Education And Restore Parental Authority | Ze |
| Posted on Friday, May 16 @ 00:00:32 PDT (0 reads) | |
|

Authored by sam sorbo via american greatness,
for decades, americans have watched as federal involvement in education expanded, ballooning into a behemoth bureaucracy that imposes top-down mandates while divorcing parents from their rightful role as the primary educators of their children, while failing to achieve academic success for students.
if we are serious about fixing our children’s education, we must restore parental authority and end federal control of education.
america’s founding fathers never intended for washington, d.C., To dictate how children in kansas or kentucky learn to read, write, and think . Education was, and should be, a local and parental matter. President donald trump rightly stated in executive order 13985, combating race and sex stereotyping , “the experiment of controlling american education through federal programs and dollars…has plainly failed our children, our teachers, and our families.” That failure is clearly documented by the national assessment of educational progress (naep), often referred to as “the nation’s report card.” Even before the covid-19 pandemic, naep scores had stagnated or declined . Today, nearly 40% of fourth graders read below basic level , despite record federal funding. Billions of taxpayer dollars have produced declining literacy.
it’s not just ineffective—it’s indefensible.
federal education initiatives have repeatedly promised results, especially for low-income students, but have failed to deliver. Programs like title i and head start have cost hundreds of billions of dollars over the years with no consistent academic gains to show for them. Similarly, federal control over college grants and loans has inflated tuition and buried young americans under a mountain of debt.
the evidence is clear: centralized, bureaucratic control undermines education.
as the founder of the “they’re your kids foundation,” i work with parents every day who feel helpless. The system fails their children academically and often undermines their values. If we truly want to empower families, we must strip away the federal red tape and hand the reins back to those who know and love their children best: parents.
representative barry moore of alabama has proposed legislation (h.R. 2691, “eliminate the department of education act,” congress.Gov ) to eliminate used and redirect education funding based on what residents in each state pay in federal income taxes. But simply shifting used’s functions to other agencies, as some proposals suggest, won’t solve the problem—it just moves the bureaucracy around.
that’s why i support the us parents involved in education (uspie) blueprint: a five-step plan to close the u.S. Department of education and return education governance to the states. The blueprint is simple, sensible, and long overdue:
return all program management and funding to the states.
repeal laws like the every student succeeds act (essa) that enable federal overreach.
privatize college loan programs through local financial institutions for increased accountability.
eliminate all divisions and spending within used.
reduce federal tax collection so states retain education funds directly.
we have a singular opportunity to implement meaningful change, including a federal tax credit system that empowers parents to direct their own children’s education. Under this proposal:
parents who homeschool or choose private education would receive a child tax credit equal to the federal per-pupil expenditure.
federal taxpayers of households with children attending government schools would prompt their per-pupil allocation to be block-granted to their respective states.
this model respects choice while avoiding the pitfalls of government entanglement. Voucher programs, while well-intentioned, often bring government regulation with them. The 1980 supreme court ruling involving hillsdale college affirmed that any institution accepting federal funds—even indirectly through student aid—is subject to federal control. [Grove city college v. Bell, 465 u.S. 555 (1984)] that’s the trojan horse we must avoid.
we must stop pretending we can reform federal education mandates and instead recognize them for what they are: unconstitutional, ineffective, and dangerous to parental rights.
as a mother who homeschooled three children, i know firsthand the value of individualized learning guided by a parent who knows their child’s needs and aspirations. Education is not simply the memorization of facts or test preparation. It is the formation of character, virtue, curiosity, and conviction. That formation is best entrusted to families—not bureaucrats in washington.
president trump’s 2025 executive order declared that closing the department of education would “restore the proper role of families and local governments in education.” But that can only happen if we also change the funding structure and remove all federal strings. If not, we risk replacing one failed model with another, abandoning the nation’s most precious resource, and ultimately forfeiting our very future.
it’s time to reject the lie that washington knows best. Parents are not the problem. They are the solution. Local communities, not federal mandates, are best equipped to nurture the next generation of citizens. And education must once again become the deeply personal, values-rooted family journey it was meant to be.
we have a roadmap. We have legislation. And most importantly, we have an awakening of parents across this country who are saying, enough is enough.
let’s seize this moment to make education truly free—by making it family-led. |

| O.C. fairgrounds the Ranch opens gates to public in debut during Discovery Day |

o.C. Fairgrounds’ the ranch opens gates to public in debut during discovery day
may 15-after more than a year of planning and preparation - and following an exodus of horse trainer tenants and their equines - a new ranch community center at the orange county fairgrounds this week opened its doors to the visiting public.
fairground officials debuted the facility in a discovery day event wednesday, inviting more than 500 youth to the costa mesa site to learn about the care, keeping and use of horses in orange county s past and present.
this is a vision the board had ; i shared that vision, and the staff got behind it, said michele richards, chief executive, who welcomed guests to the center. It s the newest expansion of agricultural education programs at the oc fair & event center.
despite a dearth of regular equine occupants (only five, including two that are privately boarded, reside at the roughly 144- stall center ) the day s event featured 21 horses that children can visit with, touch and learn more about.
members of the california state guard s 26th cavalry support regiment led demonstrations on the use and history of horses in military operations, while six deputies from the orange county sheriff s department s mounted enforcement unit were stationed, hip to hip, at the ranch s western edge.
other horses, on loan from other locations in orange county, included two belonging to a fairgrounds volunteer who illustrated how ocfec, serving as california s 32nd district agricultural assn., Is equipped to provide large- animal evacuation services in an emergency or disaster.
handlers of three resident horses from san juan capistrano- based nonprofit walk intuit discussed equine- assisted therapy lessons and programs being offered at the ranch, while representatives from tanaka farms barnyard program in irvine introduced 27- year- old rescued miniature horses, dolly madison and lil debbie.
their owner died and so we took them in. They re just lovely little sassafrases, two old ladies gossiping all day, joked shelmarie main, creator of the barnyard s programs.
youths toddled through educational exhibits from knott s berry farm 4- h and hapa honey farm, engaging in activities from veterinary tech students of anaheim s platt college and interacting with bunnies, domesticated chickens, a donkey and a llama from the fairgrounds own animal landscaping team.
for kids who may have been looking to saddle up, discovery day at the ranch offered a stick- horse rodeo, where kids could gallop and practice jumps, and saddles mounted onto bales of hay that provided a ranch- themed photo opp.
riding lessons, which once flourished at the fairgrounds former equestrian center, could soon rebound, now that ofcec signed a contract with its first trainer, sara zomo, owner of san juan capistrano s zequestrian riding academy, who recently began boarding two horses at the facility.
zomo, who brought out horses rosie posey and princess to meet the kids, said she s looking to meet the needs of clientele in the area and is starting off with those two horses but may bring more.
the purpose for us expanding is there is a need for fresh blood in the sport, and not a lot of people teach kids, she said. So, we re so excited to be here as a second location and really excited to serve the community.
kids, parents and teachers who attended wednesday s discovery day were equally excited to check out the ranch and see a part of the fairgrounds they hadn t really explored before.
i think this might have been my best field trip yet, said natalie schild, a kindergarten teacher at coto de caza s wagon wheel elementary school, who s taken students to nearby centennial farm but had never stepped foot in the equestrian center before wednesday.
we never knew it was available for field trips, she continued. There was no limit on volunteers, so we gave it a try - it was a great experience.
fellow wagon wheel kindergartner dalante dunklin jr, 6, happened to be on his first field trip and pointed out a bunny- petting station and being able to touch horses as highlights of the visit. Classmate malia nevarez, also 6, agreed petting the horses was amazing.
usually we go to centennial farm, but this is kind of more free flowing, said their teacher, kim nakamoto. This is really fun. It s interactive, and the kids were really looking forward to that.
richards, who plans to retire on may 30 after 23 years at the fairgrounds, said she couldn t be more pleased with the ranch s debut.
this is exactly what we envisioned, she said. I know it s just the beginning, and i honestly can t wait to come back in a year and see how it s grown.

| David West on playing under Gregg Popovich in San Antonio: Like going to basketb |
| Posted on Friday, May 16 @ 00:00:32 PDT (0 reads) | |

|
For many experienced nba players seeking flexibility and freedom, the basketball culture in san antonio under gregg popovich felt suffocating. The hall of fame head coach demands absolute discipline and laser-sharp focus from all his players, steering them away from controversies and anchoring their attention solely on their craft. David west openly doubled down on this sentiment, reflecting on how his lone season with the spurs felt like a return to college basketball, where every detail was broken down by veteran coaches as if players were amateurs. But far from frustrating him, that structure only deepened his love for the game. At the age of 35, west joined the spurs organization after years of being a consistent starter with the new orleans hornets and indiana pacers. Yet, upon arriving in san antonio, he was immediately asked to embrace a bench role. Moreover, his minutes dropped significantly - from logging 28.7 minutes per game during the 2014-15 season to just 18.0 minutes per game under coach popovich. Still, the 17-foot assassin never saw this as a demotion. Instead, it became one of the most cherished experiences of his career. Speaking on the ogs podcast, the two-time all-star praised the culture built by pop meticulously one centered around fundamentals, growth and discipline. With a staff of veteran coaches who obsessed over every small detail, the legendary coach ensured that each player, regardless of their accomplishments or resume, was made clear of their role and what they must do to thrive in it. That year was like going to basketball college, man. That training camp, they had a lot of fire coaches where they would sit and write notes during practice. I remember thibs was down there, del negro was down there. So, it was really like basketball college in there bro. They got whiteboards everywhere and instruction and regiments, drill work, station work. Like a very rigid structure, the retired big man said . So, it was a great opportunity to play. Related: when you get somebody with that kind of potential and theyre white and you are in america, you keep that dude - stephen a. Smith claims dallas must draft and keep cooper flagg the new jersey natives reflection makes it clear that the game always comes first in san antonio. For someone like dennis rodman, who preferred to live life on his own terms, that kind of structure might have felt limiting. However, for veterans like west, who were eager to embrace the grind and rediscover the purity of the sport, popovichs system reignited their passion. Perhaps that is why he was able to play a pivotal role off the bench in helping the golden state warriors attain two back-to-back titles while playing a role off the bench with even less time on the court. Furthermore, maybe that is why players like lebron james, who have never played under gregg, hold such great respect for the work he has done for the game. Despite pops team making him drop two championship rings, the king knows that when it comes to basketball, the former is one of the brightest minds who has always wanted to contribute positively in nurturing talents.
