Property taxes on primary residences are a tax on unrealized gains, and the double standard around it is glaring.

You buy a house for $300k with your after-tax dollars. Years later the market rises and the assessor says it’s now worth $600k. Your tax bill goes up—even though you didn’t sell, didn’t refinance, didn’t pull out a dime of equity. You’re paying higher taxes every single year on “wealth” that exists only on paper. That is the literal definition of taxing unrealized appreciation.

Politicians and pundits scream bloody murder when anyone suggests doing the exact same thing to billionaires’ unrealized stock gains. “It’s unfair! They’ll be forced to sell assets!” Yet the same logic is applied to your family home without a second thought. If the principle is wrong for Elon Musk’s Tesla shares, it’s wrong for grandma’s paid-off house.

The common defense—“It pays for schools and roads”—doesn’t hold up as justification for this specific mechanism. Those services are valuable, but tying their funding to the fluctuating paper value of your home creates a system where success (a nicer neighborhood, inflation, or simple supply and demand) is punished with a higher bill. Once the mortgage is gone, you still don’t truly own it. You’re a tenant with extra paperwork, paying annual rent to the government based on an assessment you don’t control.

This isn’t about hating government services. It’s about honest funding. Tax actual economic activity—consumption via a broad sales tax, realized capital gains, or user fees for specific services. Shift the burden to people who are actively spending or transacting in the economy instead of penalizing ownership itself. Other countries and even some U.S. localities have shown you can fund local government without treating primary homes like perpetual leaseholds from the state.

Ownership should mean ownership. Not “you own it until the county decides your paper equity went up.” Abolish property taxes on primary residences. The current system is a wealth tax dressed up as a service fee, and it’s long past time we called it what it is.

Wait until @Jim_Jordan discovers Tel-Aviv born Miriam Adelson gave $200 million of her Chinese gambling money to Trump and just spent millions on fake ads to take out this Republican in Kentucky because I am opposed to all foreign aid and American sponsored genocide.

OMG

Man exposes what appears to be an image associated with the Babbar Khalsa group who the U.S. designated a terrorist org under the terrorist exclusion list. It was spotted on the side of a McKinney Trailers truck carrying a load for KGN.

What is going on here?!

Harsh and some coarse language, but razor sharp insight into the disastrous failure of Senate RINOs to protect election integrity.

After doing some deep reflection, I have realized that Thomas Massie really is an obstructionist.

He obstructs sex traffickers from trafficking more children.

He obstructs pedophiles from buying more children.

He obstructs Israel from owning all of Congress.

He obstructs Israel from getting more weapons, bombs, and aids

He obstructs the government from spying on American citizens.

He obstructs the government from spending more money.

And he is about to obstruct Ed Gallrein from buying a seat in congress and serving Israel.

Thomas Massie is an obstructionist and God bless him for it! 🙏🏻

[Lauren @cabsav456]

The Thomas Massie primary is truly insane. We are looking at the most expensive U.S. House primary in history, with spending pushing toward $35 million.

Massie's opponent, Ed Gallrein, has raised just $2 million on his own. The rest of the money, over $14 million, is coming from outside Super PACs who desperately want Massie gone.

On top of that, Pete Hegseth is being deployed to Kentucky to campaign against him. Stephen Miller & Con Inc. have been on massive Twitter tirades attacking him. And there was a highly coordinated smear campaign of unfounded allegations launched this week by Con Inc. influencers.

When the establishment is willing to spend $35M+ and go to these lengths to take one man down, it really makes you wonder why.

Whether you like Massie or not, this election will determine whether or not we as voters actually have a voice anymore. If outside special-interest money can successfully buy a seat and sway an election like this, we have a serious, serious problem.

SCOOP: Owner of leftist merch shop which promotes child m*tilation and p**n books for kids is VP of Independence School District in Missouri, Wendy Baird.

Her shop includes slogans such as:

“teaching is activism”
“Protect trans kids”
“Read banned books”

She also has anti-Josh Hawley merch and self-identifies as a “nasty liberal bitch.”

This is who’s in charge of your kids’ education.

Does @ISDSchools approve this messaging?

[James Woods @RealJamesWoods]

No Trump judges, no voter ID SAVE Act, 50 bills already passed by the house in limbo.

Pardon my language, but this guy is a worthless piece of shit. He’s worse than a grifter Democrat. Fetterman has done more for the Republican platform than this weasel. Treacherous rat.
