@LucasBotkin I look forward to supporting your new venture. Congrats.

[Mr. Joshua @LighthouseDNMX]

@LucasBotkin Hey @lucasbotkin, I strongly recommend the book “Slaying Leviathan.”. Terrific discussion on the role of protestant principles in the founding documents through the sovereign right to defend self and property.

@YonteDa Entered the area without permission.
Asked to leave multiple times.
Unprovoked attack on unarmed person.

Shitty take from a shitty person.

[Mr. Joshua @LighthouseDNMX]

@fox32news What if we could quantify the amount of government waste and fraud?

What if it was enough to improve the budget, reduce taxes, and keep the Bears? 🤔

[Mr. Joshua @LighthouseDNMX]

@MsAngieV82 He entered without permission.
He was asked to leave.

Shitty take from a shitty account.

@Keir_Starmer Facilitating invasion, suppressing truth, and protecting the aggressors tends to result in very upset citizens.

Who knew? 

[Mr. Joshua @LighthouseDNMX]

@Keir_Starmer “An Appeal to Heaven"… served as a powerful rallying cry for [those] seeking divine intervention against British oppression.

@Betsycashmoney If a land owner rents the land, who pays the taxes?

The taxes/expenses are passed down to the renter.

Am I missing something?

Is this a parody account?

[Mr. Joshua @LighthouseDNMX]

@MagnaCarta80 NY Giants play in Jersey.
NY Jets play in Jersey.

Blame the Bears instead of blaming piss-poor leadership in Chicago.

@HarebrainedInc Citadel could have stayed.
Boeing could have stayed.
Caterpillar could have stayed.
The Bears could have stayed.
Net outflow of IL over last 4 years is 280K residents that could have stayed.

But, the management of IL has been terrible.

That’s why they left.

[Mr. Joshua @LighthouseDNMX]

@TrionexX @AdamSchefter NY Giants and NY Jets don’t play in NY.

They play in NJ.

Works for them.

@MikeGrinnell_ This is a business decision - plain and simple. Taxes in Chicago, Cook county, and IL are bonkers and only going to get works.

Chicago taxes already went up. Going up again once an $830M loan goes into repayment. MASSIVE expense for the Bears.

[Mr. Joshua @LighthouseDNMX]

@SethAbramson Exactly this. 👇🏾

[ILNCPorter @RichardPorterIL]

The Bears are moving to Indiana for the same reason Bears fans move and why Caterpillar, Citadel, Boeing and so many more moved too: the government here is out to milk taxpayers, not serve them. The ruling Dems have a thuggish woke mindset: take, take, take, and look down on us in the process. Yet, our schools don’t teach, it’s dangerous in Chicago and event the suburbs now and the roads suck pretty much everywhere. They raised their own pay, they pass garbage in the middle of the night and they obviously care more about illegal immigrants than Americans — and you know property taxes (already among the highest) are going up, up, up #pritzkersucks. @ChicagoContrar1 @Awake_IL @IlliniJen @chiIIum @ILGOP @ThomasDeVore76 @elonmusk

[Mr. Joshua @LighthouseDNMX]

@SethAbramson The Bears, as a business entity, are making a financial decision.

Sales taxes in Chicago/cook went up 33% this year.

Property taxes are going to go insane once loan repayments start on the $830M loan taken out by the City.
