Mayor of Charlotte, NC asks that we not post about this lady murdered on a Charlotte train by a repeat offender with 14 prior arrests

I say in Iryna’s memory please share and make this go viral! A repeat offender with 14 prior arrests should not be roaming the streets of ANY city! They should be locked up!! Epic failure in the justice system..

We will never forgot her ever

HEY COUNTY ASSESSOR — THIS ONE’S FOR YOU.

Let’s call this what it is.

I’m being taxed on money I never made.

Think about that.

I bought my property in 2012 for $60,000.
Now the county claims it’s worth $306,000.

Did I sell it? No.
Did I realize a profit? No.
Did I receive a $306,000 check? Not even close.

But my tax bill? That went up like I did.

That’s the problem.

This isn’t income.
This isn’t cash.
This is a number someone wrote down on paper — and now I’m expected to pay real money because of it.

If my stock portfolio doubles, I don’t owe taxes until I sell.
If my paycheck doesn’t increase, I don’t suddenly owe more income tax.

So why is housing treated differently?

Why am I being taxed on unrealized gains?

A home isn’t just an asset on a spreadsheet — it’s where people live. And under this system, you can do everything “right,” pay off your house, and still get squeezed harder every year based on a theoretical value you never turned into cash.

That’s not ownership. That’s renting from the government with extra steps.

And spare me the talking points about “services” and “inflation.”

This is about being billed for value you never received.

People are waking up to it.

🚨 MUST WATCH:

Johnny Carson (a Democrat) opens the 1981 Oscars, a day after the assassination attempt on President Reagan, with genuine class and respect.

The entire liberal Hollywood crowd erupts in applause.

Today? Jimmy Kimmel jokes about Melania Trump becoming a widow.

@gmcgovern128 @OleTimeHardball You may not want Lou in the Hall (your opinion), but if you have to be "far better" then the Hall would have zero 2B - no 2B in the Hall is "far better" than Lou

[Dave Hempel @FireUp87]

@OleTimeHardball Absolutely - compared to other 2nd basemen in the Hall it becomes obvious he deserves to be in with Tram - the best SS/2B combo to ever play

Central Michigan puts OL in the NFL often!

Joe Staley was one of the best to play the position.

Hypothetically…….. I’m being taxed on money I never made. Let that sink in.
If I bought my property outright for $60,000 in 2009
Now the county says it’s worth $246,000.
Did I sell it? No.
Did I make a profit? No.
Did I get a check for $246,000? No.
But my taxes jumped like I did.
That’s the problem.
This isn’t income.
This isn’t cash.
This is a number someone decided on paper — and now I’m being billed for it.
If my stock portfolio doubles, I don’t pay taxes until I sell.
If my income doesn’t increase, I don’t magically owe more income tax.
So why does owning a home work differently?
Why am I being taxed on unrealized gains?
A house isn’t just an investment — it’s where people live. And this system means you can do everything right, pay off your home, and still get squeezed harder every year because of a number you never turned into money.
You don’t truly own something if you can be taxed out of it.
This isn’t about “services” or “inflation.”
It’s about being charged for value you never received.
And people are starting to notice.

This needs to be on everyone’s mind✔️

@TJA4Michigan Thanks, Todd - many don't know it bc you wear Maize 'n Blue on your sleeve, but you are Maroon & Gold at heart 🔥⬆️

[Dave Hempel @FireUp87]

@TJA4Michigan NIL rich, yes, but it's a problem for college athletics - and that's a big deal - we aren't all Big10 and SEC fans

@Pitt2Good @AaronJFentress @MattHayesCFB Tough to give the lower seeds "home field" - Texas Tech in Dallas and Miami in Miami? These games are made for TV and not ticket sales anyway so ESPN is happy and that is all that matters in today's CFP else the top seeds would host home games on campus.

Look at this box we have here! It's got some of the coolest stuff we've ever gotten!!

If you've never been to a MACTION game, there may not be a better experience than seeing the Chippewas of Central Michigan!

Thank you Coach Drinkall and @CMU_Football, Merry Christmas!

With rumors swirling about a Super League that would kill college sports as we know it, I just want to point out that in less than a decade, college football has adopted the worst elements of nearly every major sport:

MLB - Payroll Disparity
NHL - Irrelevant Regular Season
NBA - Players Sitting Out
NFL - Awful Officiating
Euro Soccer - Smaller Outfits Becoming “Farm Systems”
