It's a text-only financial/economic news post explaining a proposal to index capital gains for inflation before calculating capital gains taxes, using a worked example ($100,000 stock sold 5 years later for $200,000, with 20% cumulative inflation), and noting a suggested exemption for home sales of $2 million or less.

Text in image: TKL The Kobeissi Letter ✓ @KobeissiLetter Subscribe BREAKING: President Trump's capital gains tax cut discussions include "indexing" capital gains for inflation BEFORE taxes are calculated. This would mean that taxes would be applied on gains adjusted for inflation. For example, if you purchased a stock for $100,000 and sold it 5 years later for $200,000. Under the current system, you would owe capital gains taxes on the full $100,000 gain. But, if cumulative inflation over those 5 years was 20%, your inflation-adjusted cost basis would rise to $120,000. This means you would only owe capital gains taxes on the $80,000 REAL gain, rather than the $100,000 nominal gain. Trump has also suggested exemptions for sales of homes worth $2 million or less from capital gains taxes. We expect more details soon. 7:37 PM · Aug 11, 2026 · 3M Views

Lots of talk about affordability, or is there? I don't even hear a lot of talk about it anymore, but still, there's a lot of grumbling about it on the internet, there's a lot of people talking about it. And one of the things they're saying is, if you understood the mindset of young people, you would understand what the problem is. They're leaving Trump by the zillions, and they expect us to do something to help them. And so you have some people proposing sort of socialism-like. These are from so-called conservatives who become pseudo-conservers. The populists, of course, are all over this, because in many ways, they're the socialists. And so more government and more spending, despite the $40 trillion debt going to $50 trillion, and despite, at some point, the need to do something about Social Security and Medicare, Social Security in six years, say the trustees, is going to lose money and go broke, and in seven years, followed by Medicare. So Washington proposes what Washington's best at, spending more debt, redistribution of wealth, stealing from you and the private sector. So let's get into this. I want the Democrats, specifically, to answer a few questions, and the media hosts, particularly on these Sunday network magazine shows or news shows, maybe they'll try asking some actual questions when they have Democrat Party guests. Please specifically spell out your affordability agenda. You raised gasoline prices when Biden was president. How will you lower them when you raised them last time? You raised food prices when Biden was president. How will you lower them when you raised them last time? You raised inflation when Biden was president. How will you lower it when you raised it last time? You raised the cost of living for average Americans. How will you lower it when you raised it last time? You raised healthcare costs when Obama was president by passing Obamacare, not a single Republican voted for that. How will you lower it when you raised it under Obama by expanding it and calling it Medicare for all? Well, they don't have any answers, you know, they'll just say tax billionaires or something like that. But I want to take a little bit of a deeper dive here and talk some turkey with you. People talk about in the 1950s and '60s, people could afford a home, they could afford a car, they had modest incomes, not anymore, not anymore. We need to get back to that. So I looked, in the 1950s and '60s, young adults in their early 20s and 30s, well, they had lower average incomes, more family-based households and less access to credit. This meant that while they might have spent a larger share of income on certain categories, like cars or housing, the absolute dollar amounts that they spent were generally lower than today's young adults in their 30s and 40s. Young adults in the 1950s and '60s by today's age had lower total spending than today's young adults in their 30s and 40s due to lower incomes in different economic conditions. Core spending takes up the greatest share of income for the youngest and oldest generations. Core spending, that trend can be explained in part due to changes in income. Peak earning occurs in middle age, obviously not when you're just starting out and obviously not when you're retired or retiring. Even in the dollar value of household spending, that goes up as someone approaches middle age. The increase in household income on average outpaces the increase in spending. So when you're really kicking into your career or your business or whatever it is you're doing. Medical expenses are the smallest percentage of budgets for the youngest adult generation. So they're paying lower than any other generation when it comes to medical expenses. Young adults today are much more likely than their counterparts 30 years ago to be college graduates. But that comes with a cost. College tuition is expensive. Most students wanna live away from home and go to schools away from home. So in addition to tuition, you have room and board on top of tuition. That said, those with college degrees over the course of their lifetime, they earn significantly more than those without. Although for many at the start of their career, they have college loan debt and perhaps other debt they've acquired, such as cars and credit cards for eating out or vacations that put great pressure on their incomes. Again, when they're starting out, their incomes are those of junior employees. Young women have made greater gains at attending college than young men. From 1993 to 2023, the share of young women, ages 25 to 34, with at least a four-year college degree rose from 23 to 47%. And among young men, the increase was smaller, 24 to 38%. Therefore, the debt spending income scenario can be even more widespread among young women and especially among single women. So in other words, much of this has nothing to do with government, nothing to even do with government policies. These are lifestyle decisions. In other words, the benefit for many young people in going to college doesn't actually come until several years or even a decade or more after they graduate. They pay down both student debt and other expenses they've incurred. So in the long run, the degree is typically beneficial. In the short run, depending on lifestyle decisions and spending habits, it can create more financial difficulty. The 1950s and '60s, fewer Americans went to college. Young people started work early. They didn't make big purchases requiring lots of debt, no student loans, not new cars. They lived more modestly in the types of homes and vehicles they might buy. They ate home at home more often than going out to restaurants. They didn't travel as much, so they didn't use airlines. They didn't go to hotels and that sort of thing. Maybe they drive for a three-day vacation or something like that. Family expectations were different. In limited consumer goods were available. Goods like sugar and meat were still rationed in the early 1950s, and refrigerators were a luxury for some households. Colored TV didn't even exist for most households until starting in the early '60s and beyond. Leisure was often local and low cost. Kids played outside, not a whole bunch of computers and video games. Clothing was practical and modest. While the 1950s and '60s saw economic growth, many young people's lives were marked by modest living. And so some young people had brought these circumstances onto themselves. It's not the system, it's not capitalism. It's not even government. We have gotten so good at producing so many consumer products, leisure products, and so forth and so on, that people wanna partake of them. They wanna acquire them. But sometimes they outpace their income, particularly when they're young people, particularly if they go to college, particularly if they take out student loans, and they live away from home with tuition and board. And all those expenses pile up. It's a bigger percentage of young people than 30, 40, 50 years ago. And I wanna talk about gas prices. We're told that a gallon of gasoline, if we can get the price of gasoline down, we Republicans will win the midterm elections. Gas prices may feel like a record in 2026, but adjusted for inflation, they are not, writes Dr. Randall Olson. We're told gas is the most expensive it has been in years. The war headlines are everywhere. And he says the record gas prices, it's back in everyone's feed. The pump number stings, but adjust for inflation and the record evaporates. US gas costs more in 1981 than it does today. More in 2008 than it does today. Again, inflation adjusted. More in 2022 under Biden than it does today. The number on the pump is near an all-time high. What a gallon actually costs you in real money is nowhere near an all-time high. 2008 is still the one to beat, he writes. The real all-time high was June 2008 at $6.20 a gallon in today's money. 1981 was worse too. 1981 held the record before 2008, took it. March 1981, regular gas hit, again, inflation adjusted. Regular gas, $5.32 a gallon in today's dollars. Oh yes. Even in 2022, a few years back, the most recent peak is the one people remember. When Russia invaded Ukraine, the national average set an all-time record just above $5 a gallon in June 2022. That was the highest price ever at the pump in plain dollars adjusted for inflation. It works out to about $5.50 for a gallon of regular gasoline still above spring 2026 and still short of 2008. And if you live in California, my son, our son took a picture of the prices at the pump. They are unbelievable. You got 72 cents a gallon sales tax in California, the highest in the nation by far. Other expenses that they add on to gasoline and oil out there, it is nuts. And they want you to blame Trump and they want you to blame the Iran war and on and on and on. No, I've said it before and let me underscore it again. The prices for gasoline, the prices for everything when it comes to energy is higher due to what we call Democrats. What about housing prices? As of June 2026, the last information that is comparative, the inflation adjusted US home price index is 170.2 up from 169 in May of this year. But that's 3.8% below the highest May 2022. That was the record 176.9. This is the number they use to compare income to housing prices. So the highest it's been was in May 2022, 3.8% higher than it is today. That means that when stripped of inflation housing prices, they're still near an all time high. And by the way, for investors, they like that. For first time buyers, they obviously don't, but it's not at the peak that it was under Biden in 2022. I just told you that gasoline at its peak was higher in the 1980s and highest under Joe Biden. I just told you that housing prices were highest, highest under Joe Biden. But you don't hear this. You don't hear it anywhere really. The two highest points were 2006, the housing bubble and 2022, the post pandemic surge. Now there's no accounting for what Democrats do in these blue states and these blue metropolitan areas. Take Mondami, the Marxist Islamist. Oh yes, socialism he supports. Well, let's take rent control. What does rent control do? Let's think for a second. They lock in rent prices back to a given year or time. Now people who are renting and are older, they love it. They love it because they're gonna have a fixed rental price whether the landlord likes it or not, whether his or her expenses go up or not, whether utility prices and taxes go up or not, they don't care. It's just wonderland. We love socialism, rent control. But what does that do? It limits the number of units. You have to be nuts to be a developer and go in and say, you know what, I'm gonna build a whole bunch of new rental properties just so I can have rent control at some point. No, because if a government can put in rent control today it can put it in tomorrow. That's not Trump's fault. That's not Israel's fault. That's Mondami's fault. That's the fault of the socialists who drive up the cost of everything. And not only is affordability an issue, but availability is an issue. Okay, I wanna address another topic before we go to our guests and that is Iran. I wanna be very blunt about this. This is not a war between the United States and Iran or the United States and Israel versus Iran. This is a civilizational war. You see, we don't quite understand the enemy. We can't seem to get our heads around it. I'm afraid some of our generals can't, some of our advisors can't. This is a civilizational war, certainly from the perspective of the enemy. Khomeini in 1979, he was not interested merely in taking over a nation state, a country. He is spreading an ideology. He is spreading Islam. He seeks to conquer the West. He seeks to conquer obviously an entire Middle East. He and his followers. Israel is a big problem to that agenda because the Jews don't intend to go easily. In fact, they don't intend to go at all. They have a serious military, one of the most powerful on the face of the earth and certainly one of the most experienced on the face of the earth because they're facing enemies, they're surrounded day in and day out. We are war hardened too, but not in the same way. Not in the same way. My concern is this. We've heard from generals talking about off-ramps. We've heard generals say that we have limited munitions, whether they've said it anonymously or however, same with advisors who said the same thing. They're leaking to the media. We had an MOU that was never going to work. The enemy, you know, they have an agreement and two minutes later they violate it. So we're constantly looking for ways to negotiate our way out of this. You wanna end this war? I will give you my best thought on this. I want us to win. I want the administration to succeed. I want my friend, President Trump, to be the greatest president, including wartime president in American history. And what he's done so far is unparalleled. Seven prior presidents, you know, chose to do next to nothing. Some of them even subsidized the enemy. Some of them subsidized their nuclear program. The fact is that this president had to act, did act. He couldn't wait. The enemy told his envoy that we could make 11 nuclear bombs in 10 days. Our intelligence said we needed to act and it was imminent. But it is a civilizational war. You can't contain the enemy no matter what's negotiated if it's ever negotiated. The enemy will not comply. The enemy will not agree to anything. The enemy views us as a bump in the road. Whether it's the first tier, the second tier, the third tier, or the 10th tier of this regime. If we want to defeat this enemy, we've got to use all that's available to us to destroy it. That includes arming the Iranian people, as I've said for half a year, as was the Reagan doctrine. Now there may be generals and advisors telling the commander in chief, "No, the risk averse and so forth and so on." There is no effective off-ramp. Arming those people with the help of the Israelis, who we've sidelined, with the help of Mossad, working with the CIA, will make a huge, huge difference as it has in the recent past in other countries, among other things. There is no reason Karg Island is off the table in some of these other infrastructure facilities. I don't care what the Arabs say, ignore them. I don't care what Erdogan says, ignore him. This is a civilizational war that we must win. It is a righteous war. We have a courageous president. I don't think we'll see another one like him. It's now or never.

>> Flipping this election, but we shall see is Georgia and that state's secretary of state Brad Raffensperger is with us now, Mister secretary good morning on a busy morning, I guess with the big question is how that yeah we want to know what are we going to get your votes when we're going to find out who's won your state. >> Well, we have about 2% left to go we had great success yesterday. We have 4.7 million voters voted record breaker for us beats that 4.1 in 2016. The average wait time of only 2 minutes statewide average. We have 2% left to go. And you can see where we are right now with the results of important I don't think will change any outcomes, but that's what really people that make those predictions to what we'll do is get. >> I was interesting that we just get into the good part there because the secretary of state said they got 2% left to count check. But he did not think it would change the outcome that's interesting but then he deferred to the prognosticators which I think is a new. >> Look I get to say what our model say is where those counties are they are heavily Democratic counties. And it's the Atlanta number so it is going to shrink. You know perhaps you know if I were an arbiter of an election result, I wouldn't want to be the one saying yes and when we have the vote will change the result. I think his job is to be the umpire let's ask Mister secretary can you hear me now you just were saying something like phone bomb. >> Okay, well fair, you're busy guy probably all your friends want to know the same thing we want to know what is going to report its results. But you said something interesting Sir you said 2% left to count didn't think however that it would be changing the outcome is that based on your analysis of where those votes are outstanding or you just guessing it because of the fact that it's only 2%. >> We don't guess what we do is report we just see where the candidates are right now and both presidential congressional senatorial you look at how the votes are out there even if one of the candidates got a 100% probably would be enough to do to move it one way or the other gotcha but it is what it is will just wait everything's done the county's working

A digitally edited image. A large photo of a man's face (light blond-gray swept hair, orange-toned skin, half-lidded eyes, downturned mouth, dark suit collar and white shirt) is composited into a blue sky with clouds above a Greenland-style coastal settlement of brightly colored wooden houses (red, green, blue, yellow) with a small white-spired church, dirt roads, and rocky mountains. His fingers appear to hold or peel back the mountain ridge like a sheet, as if lifting the landscape toward his mouth. A white banner across the top carries the greeting in large dark green text. It looks like a meme or edited graphic about Greenland, with the face of a figure resembling Donald Trump looming over the town.

Text in image: Hello, Greenland!

-President Trump kicking off another busy week at the White House. -It has been yet another eventful week in Washington. -The activity level is off the charts. The president dialed in. He is executing his agenda at a lightning fast pace. Here's something we rarely see in American politics. President Trump is actually keeping his campaign promises, and he's doing them as quickly as possible. -This administration's moving at political light speed, and they're just getting started. -Well, it's official. Former President Donald Trump will be willing for president again in 2024. -Has Donald Trump got the stamina and the will to do this again? He's come under such tremendous -- -Everything is on the line in this election. -A busy day in the campaign world up in Butler today, former President Trump holding a rally at 5 o'clock. -Oh, my God! -He just tried to kill President Trump. -Not even an assassin's bullet could stop him. -It feels like the climax of a superhero movie. The first act of 2016, the second act of 2020, the third act, he almost dies, and then what happens? -Donald Trump will become the 47th president of the United States. -Rare in American politics, a presidential sequel. -He believes he has a "mandate" to bring common sense back to the country. -It's our time to take up the righteous cause of American liberty and begin the most thrilling days in the history of our country. -This will be our greatest era with God's help over the next four years. We are going to lead this nation even higher, and we are going to forge the freest, most advanced, most dynamic, and most dominant civilization ever to exist on the face of this Earth. -He has the opportunity to reset everything around the world. -Under President Trump's leadership, the message to America's enemies is loud and clear. -Peace through strength is back. -No amount of hysteria, no amount of fear-mongering is going to shake the president's resolve. -This is the wholesale destruction of the liberal state. He is gutting liberal Washington, D.C., in a way that they say could be permanent. -47 means business. The White House is holding all the cards. -I return to the presidency confidence and optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of national success. -The bottom line is whether you like Trump or you don't like him, you can't say that he's coming and not try to deliver, and he's doing so in historic fashion. -He's tired of change and sweeping the country. Sunlight is pouring over the entire world, and America has the chance to seize this opportunity like never before.

Anyone who cheered that hush money prosecution to Donald Trump two years ago has nothing left to stand on because now the star witness, the guy who is the reason why every prosecutor who looked at this case, including the Biden DOJ, the prior liberal democratic DA passed on charging this case is because they didn't trust Michael Cohen beyond a reasonable doubt. Alvin Bragg rolled that dice and now Michael Cohen has said publicly that he quote felt important, felt pressured and coerced by prosecutors. So where do you stand on Michael Cohen now? If you believe he's a truth teller, then he felt pressured and coerced by prosecutors. That's not acceptable. If you believe he's a liar, then your case is built on a liar. So that case is going through its appeal process incredibly slowly. I think there are major legal infirmities with it, but now the factual predicate has collapsed as well.

A stylized, low-poly geometric digital illustration depicting Mount Rushmore, with the four traditional presidential faces (Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, Lincoln, in profile/three-quarter views carved into the rock) extended by a fifth face added to the right: a portrait of Donald Trump, rendered in the same angular, faceted art style and positioned as if carved into the mountain alongside the others. The color palette uses deep blues, reds, oranges, and whites. Behind the mountain, a large American flag is rendered in the same low-poly geometric style, filling the sky with stars in the upper left and red/white stripes flowing diagonally across the upper right. Silhouetted pine trees line the bottom of the image in dark blue/black. There is no text anywhere in the image.

An image of a gold/bronze relief sculpture set into an arched stone alcove, depicting Abraham Lincoln standing centered between two Civil War soldiers, one holding a rifle and American flag, the other holding a flag and standing near a cannon. Behind the figures are relief carvings suggestive of a battlefield with fallen soldiers and equipment, and above them a decorative laurel wreath with stars spans the arch. A gold plaque at the base reads the title and date range of the Civil War. The style appears to be a digitally rendered or AI-generated monument image rather than a photo of an existing real-world statue.
