Property taxes should be outlawed.

And before someone says “aLL tAxEs sHouLd be ouTlaWed” yes, but property taxes in particular are the most unjust.

Every other tax is based on a share of a transaction. You always know upfront what this share will be.

Property taxes, on the other hand, are based on a “value” assessed by the same entity levying the tax. Your town or county literally “decides” what your property is worth (assessed value) and then demands a share of it, regardless of your ability to pay. Fail to pay and they take the property for themselves.

The model is actually worse than an unrealized gains tax; you aren’t just paying the tax on the gain, you are basically paying a percentage of whatever they decide the value is, every year in perpetuity.

That’s why it’s is the most unjust tax. That’s why it should be abolished.

After claiming @BUFootball's most prolific passing season ever, where is Florence now?

TRUTH.

1. God is real.
2. There are two genders.
3. Human flourishing requires fossil fuels.
4. Reverse racism is racism.
5. An open border is no border.
6. Parents determine the education of their children.
7. The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind.
8. Capitalism lifts people up from poverty.
9. There are three branches of the U.S. government, not four.
10. The U.S. Constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms in history.

Never forget this race in 1996 when Michael Johnson shattered the 200 meter world record in 1996?

Joe Biden declaring the most holy day for Christians as “Transgender Visibility Day” is a slap in the face to every American, whatever their faith. Now the White House is banning any religious symbolism on Easter Eggs. We’re in the middle of a war in this country - and take it from a Hindu, that isn’t a “Christian nationalist” talking point.

This isn’t about what political party or side you “belong” to. No SANE nation would allow this to happen at their border without military intervention to stop it. I understand people wanting to come to America for a better life, but this is NOT THAT. 👇🏼

In 1981, Dr. Michael Shannon worked tirelessly through the night to successfully rescue a premature baby boy.

30 years later, in 2011, Dr. Shannon was trapped in his burning SUV following a collision with a semi-truck.

Miraculously, he was rescued from the blazing vehicle by Chris Trokey, a paramedic with the Orange County Fire Authority.

Remarkably, it was revealed that Chris Trokey was the same premature baby Dr. Shannon had delivered three decades earlier.

It’s time to have a discussion about Scott Drew & Baylor these last 5 years.

Take five minutes out of your day to realize what we’re witnessing right now or just read the TLDR at the bottom if you don’t respect greatness enough.

This is all relative to Power Conferences.

#NCAA🏀:

In the last 5 seasons, Baylor is #1 in the entire country, with a record of 108-24 (.818).

As an underdog, AGAIN, Baylor is good for #1 in the country with a win percentage of 60%.

In the NCAA Tournament, Baylor is 8-2 (.800). AGAIN, that’s good for #1 in the entire country.

Baylor is tied for #1 with a National Championship.

Against RANKED Opponents, Baylor is #1 AGAIN, at 29-10 (.743). NOBODY else is even CLOSE to that.

Baylor has a conference record of 54-18 (.750). That’s #2 in the country.

At home, Baylor is 57-6 (.905)… #3 in the country.

Scott Drew accounts for 73% (11/15) of Baylor’s NCAA Tournament Appearances, 100% of their Sweet 16s, Elite 8s, Final 4s and National Championships in the expanded field.

He’s responsible for 68% (15/22) of their NCAA Tournament wins All-Time.

#NBA:

Scott Drew & the staff are unbelievable recruiters, but get this..

Baylor is the ONLY program in the entire country that has three consecutive Top 16 Draft Picks.

& NO, this isn’t a ‘recruit a 5 star, have him for a year and get him to the NBA and act like you developed a JUCO’ shtick.

Baylor has 9 active players in the NBA. That’s more NBA players than 97% of programs around the country.

Since 2010, Scott Drew has had 12 players drafted, 6 first round picks & 4 lottery picks.

Baylor’s entire existence before that (100 YEARS) had only 14 players drafted, 3 first round picks & 1 “lottery” pick.

Scott Drew has sent Unranked prospects, 3 stars, 4 stars and 5 stars to the big leagues.

#Discourse🗣️:

If you want to argue that Scott Drew is the best coach in America, all I can do is shut it and agree with you.

What he’s done, at a program that was so down when he got there, is unprecedented.

#TLDR📝:

Baylor is

#1 in Wins
#1 in NCAA Tournament W/L
#1 in National Championships (tied)
#1 vs Ranked Opponents
#1 as an underdog
#2 in Conference W/L
#3 in Home W/L
#10 in active NBA Players

Remember when Trump was in office and the left had a meltdown over $5 billion for a wall to secure the border?

But they had no problem sending hundreds of billions to foreign countries.

They don’t care about us, none of them.

[General Mike Flynn @GenFlynn]

There is so much uncertainty in the world currently due to the complete scarcity of leadership emanating from the United States of America and the person we call the President of the United States.

But this massive shortcoming resides on both sides of our political aisles. The GOP appears as inept and frozen as the Democrats.

All are “all talk and no action!”

This uncertainty and noise leads to confusion and chaos, instead of calm & cool headed debate and serious strategic decision making about the current geostrategic landscape that is changing before our very eyes.

All decisions should be designed and then centered on addressing what is best for America, what strengthens our country, and what is best for our citizens.

Instead, we appear feckless, incompetent and without rudder for this beautiful ship we call the USS America 🇺🇸

Lastly, while I strongly urge leaders at all levels of our government to stand firm on American values and principles, I also want to remind those who follow, care about what’s happening or not, that we are in a period of history that is truly GOOD vs. EVIL.

To not believe this, is to be woefully uninformed. So get and stay informed (and inform others).

Lastly, if you feel you can do nothing, don’t despair.

As I’ve said many times, prayer is the most powerful weapon system known to humanity.

The historic consequences we face will change the course of history once again, only as global chaos and uncertainty can cause. We need to stand up and challenge our elected leaders. Make them do their jobs. Put pressure on them, they work for us, #WeThePeople and not for corporate or other interests. To many are on the latter gravy train.

So time to stand up, step up and speak up. Get involved in your local community, if for no other reason than to secure the future of America for our children and grandchildren and as always, PRAY 🙏🏼 🇺🇸
