DONALD TRUMP WIRED MONEY TO JEFFREY EPSTEIN 4,700 TIMES.

4,700 TIMES.

DON'T. STOP. TALKING. ABOUT. EPSTEIN.

@EdGreenberger @TxNativeP23 @LqLana That’s exactly what he’s saying. Smdh. I wonder if he would feel the same if the pedo rapist was doing that to his own son.

For anyone who is confused, the United States was founded on religious freedom, not Christianity.

Trump today claimed he “didn’t promise anything” about NO NEW WARS.

So here’s a second compilation showing FIFTY times during his campaign where he PROMISED exactly that.

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.

I am sick and tired of people mocking those who care about the planet. Clean air matters. Living forests matter. Healthy oceans matter. Animals matter. Biodiversity matters. Wanting a livable world for future generations should not be controversial.

You can’t really argue this. They believe in investing in the people and infrastructure.

Oil prices today: $105.25 a barrel
Gas prices today: $4.46 a gallon

Oil prices in March 2011: $105.06 a barrel

Big Oil is using the Iran War to rip off Americans at the gas pump.

Let’s end the Iran War & pass a windfall profits tax-NOW.

it’s crazy to me that our government was allowed to vote against disclosing their sexual misconduct AND the taxpayer funds used to cover it all up

357 congresspeople, both Democrats and Republicans, voted against it

how was this even legal?

Waking up this morning to be reminded again how so many people on here are whack as hell. Must not have much going on in their lives to be trolling all the time. Losers for real.
