West Virginia is fast tracking data centers based on the perceived financial perks such windowless buildings bring. But what about the extreme water consumption, electricity suck, and the fact that the structures themselves will eventually be abandoned dinosaurs of old tech? @wvgovernor@TomWillisWV Please read.
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.
@justinamash If we can crank up the heat on our U.S. Representatives, can bring the Deep State’s entire spying scheme to a crashing halt! Sign The Petition to your representative to vote no on warrantless FISA Section 702 renewal.

Open letter to Pfizer and Every Pharma Executive Who Still Sleeps at Night,
You don’t know me, but you know what you’ve done. I’m a father whose child was stolen by your poisons… yes, poisons, not “medicines.” I watched my kid’s light go out after your so called “wellness” visit, after your toxic shots. Don’t you dare tell me it was a coincidence. I saw it with my own eyes, and I’ll never forget it. You can hide behind your bought science and your paid-off regulators, but you can’t erase what you’ve done to my family and millions of others.
Now, as a paramedic, I see the bodies piling up from your latest atrocity, the COVID shots. Young people dropping dead, strokes, seizures, turbo cancers, sudden deaths that you pretend are just “bad luck.” You’ve turned ambulances into morgues and hospitals into dancing death dealers. You’ve unleashed a silent genocide and you have the gall to whine about “legal floodgates” opening? You’re not scared for the victims, you’re scared for your profits and your own worthless hides.
You are not healers. You are predators. You are the architects of suffering, the high priests of a death cult that worships money and power above all else. You’ve corrupted every institution, silenced every honest voice, and gaslit the world into believing your lies. But the truth is bleeding out now, and no amount of PR or censorship will save your reputation.
I want you to feel the anguish you’ve inflicted on every parent who watched their child disappear, every family who lost someone “unexpectedly,” every person who trusted you and paid with their life. I want you to know that even though you’ve hid in darkness your day in the light is coming. You can’t hide behind your lawyers and your media puppets forever. The world is waking up, and when the reckoning comes, there won’t be enough blood money in the world to buy your way out.
You are monsters. And you will legally and lawfully answer for what you’ve done.
Sincerely,
A father you destroyed, A paramedic who sees the truth, A human being who will never, EVER, forget,
Harry Fisher

Under FISA 702, the government collects massive amounts of data on Americans while “targeting” foreigners overseas.
They then unconstitutionally search that data without a warrant for info on Americans.
The “libertarian demand” he’s whining about is called the Fourth Amendment.
The Fourth Amendment isn't a suggestion. It's the law. Yet Washington spies on Americans without warrants and hides behind classified rubber stamps. I'm fighting to end it with my Fourth Amendment Restoration and Protection Act.

Dana is a national treasure. It is hard to see what DC and many other areas have become. But we still have pockets of true, healthy community, and that is what I care about. That is where I invest. If you look at the history of nations, it is no surprise to see how ours has fallen.
Proud to have stood with my friend and patriot
@RepThomasMassie in his fight for the Republican nomination in Kentucky’s 4th district. During the many years I served with him in Congress, we championed liberty and the well-being of the American people. He never wavered, and he deserved our full support. As long as I’m alive, I will continue to stand for what’s right and for liberty. I know Tom will too — along with the multitude of freedom-loving patriots who were inspired by him and backed him up. We’re not going anywhere. We continue to grow in number, and we will never be bought or controlled by those globalist billionaires and their lackeys who don’t put Americans First. If America and the Constitution are worth fighting for and saving, we need to continue the fight for our liberty. Our republic survives only with leaders who put the Constitution and the interests of the American people first.
50 happily married men were asked:
“What makes you stay deeply in love with your wife even after years of marriage?”
Almost none of them mentioned looks, cooking, or sex first.
Their answers were almost the same
Here’s what these men said....
They spy on you without a warrant, then hide behind a secret court. That's not how the Constitution works.
My Fourth Amendment Restoration and Protection Act stops warrantless surveillance of Americans.
@PatriotWriter Looks like this story has been making the rounds. The time for backroom deals is over. Taxpayers need to know what their elected representatives are doing for dollars.
@amitylee13 I am a native Idahoan and when the Ruby Ridge murders happened, we were all horrified. We have a deep distrust of the federal government. As more Californians and foreign nationals move to Idaho, this sentiment is diluted, but it is still a well deserved undercurrent.
