This is insane. The people running these county budgets will try to manipulate you and make you fearful to vote for the amendment that will protect your hard earned money and cap your property tax burden and stop the pathway to tax free ownership…..while they waste and overspend and piss it away….
VOTE FOR PROPERTY TAX RELIEF. THESE PEOPLE DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU. ONLY MAKING THEMSELVES AND THEIR FRIENDS RICHER.
Thank goodness we can put Blaise back in office again.
FYI!!!
“The death of the American beef industry”??

Ivermectin treats screw worm for one thing.
We’ve beat it before and we will again.
These fear mongering people need to sit down! They forgot one thing. The American Rancher!! We check and care for our herds! Screw worm only get in an open wound or a new calf navel. They don’t just eat flesh without an injury.
We will monitor, treat and move on!
CALM DOWN!!!
UPDATE ON OUR GRANDDAUGHTER ANNELISE!
I want to thank you all for your many prayers and concerns of love that have gone up for Annelise. The updates come slow in terms of strict medical data. But the number one question I receive daily, is how can we pray?
Here’s how I pray for our granddaughter every day and her parents Johnston and Joy! They have two other wonderful children that I would ask for you to lift up before the Lord as well.
Here are three ways that you can pray in this situation::
1. God, only You could bring her back from the condition she is in. If it be Your will… please fully restore her physical health to your glory alone!
2. God, please permit other doctors or medical procedures that could help her be made available and to remove the roadblocks prohibiting that from occurring. If it be Your will to provide proven, effective procedures that could restore her physical health!
And, 3. God, if You sovereignly choose not to heal her body or make available other medical resources, doctors and hospitals … then give Johnston as the head of his family the grace-filled strength and faithful love to give Annelise into Your hands and say as a family their heartfelt goodbye to their precious daughter knowing she would be with You!
With much tearful love and deep encouragement for you all!

My friend Da Yu left communist China for the USA twenty years ago. Last week, his American employer gave him one hour to delete his comment on a friend’s social media post or lose his job.
Da was an atheist when he first moved to Cincinnati for college. And he was excited to get away from the suffocating regime of communist China.
When he arrived here, it wasn’t long before he encountered a group of Christians who shared the gospel with him. God opened his heart to the truth of the gospel and he believed.
As his faith grew, Da became a strong Christian leader and committed evangelist. Now, many years later, he leads a small group at my church and organizes regular evangelistic outreaches for college students.
Da is a kind, smart, and godly Christian man. And he’s among the most committed members of our church. He’s an ordinary Christian who believes the Bible and has a spine. He and his wife have two young children, and she is eight months pregnant with their third.
That’s all background for what I’m about to say.
Last week, he called me out of the blue because he was faced with a difficult decision. One of his friends had just become a Christian and posted on LinkedIn about her baptism (see screenshots).
She wasn’t accustomed to making Linked In posts about Jesus, feeling as though it might be unprofessional. She wondered openly if she should keep her posts secular. But she was excited about her new life in Christ and wanted to share it.
That’s when Da chimed in with a comment on her post that there is no such thing as a purely neutral, “secular” culture. He pointed out that many companies are promoting cultural sins such as homosexuality, transgenderism, and fornication during pride month. If companies can promote those morally regressive “values,” then certainly this woman should not be embarrassed to talk about her Christian faith in public. He was simply encouraging her to be bold for Christ.
WIthin minutes, he got a message from HR. He was called to a meeting with the HR rep and the CEO where he was told he needed to take his comment on her post down immediately. Feeling put on the spot, he said he’d needed to think it over first. He asked, “what if I do not take it down?”
They said, “you have one hour to take it down or lose your job.” So he took a walk outside to gather his thoughts and pray. He spoke to his wife about it, and she told him the man she married was a man of courage, and she would stand by him. He also sought counsel from some men in our church.
Finally, he made his decision. He would not take his comment down. So they fired him. Right there, on the spot. No sooner had the call ended that his laptop was locked and he was unable to access it at all.
This whole episode is tragically ironic, given the fact that he’d moved here from China to get away from these sorts of draconian practices. But that’s the way it is with the LGBTQ regime. If you do not comply and bow the knee to their gods you will be severely punished.
In short, a good man was fired from his job for refusing to cave. He took a stand and paid a price for it. His former employers didn’t care that he’s a responsible, hard working man with a family to provide for. They didn’t care that his wife is eight months pregnant.
None of that matters. Their ideology is everything. They will crush anyone who opposes it.
I asked Da’s permission to tell his story, promising to keep him anonymous. But he responded, “Actually I think using my real name maybe better. A story becomes a lot more real with a name. I want to take a stand for it and encourage others.”
Da took a stand. You can too.
@shawngorham God is good and that is such a beautiful area. My maternal grandmother‘s second husband was half Flathead Indian and the two of them lived on Flathead Lake. I remember visiting when I was a child. Great memories!
🚨 WOW! Gov. Ron DeSantis just MIC DROPPED the people opposing his plan to ABOLISH homeowner property taxes in Florida
"I don't like this idea, 'the GOVERNMENT losing revenue.' IT'S NOT THEIR MONEY! It's *YOUR* money."
"Government is just not TAKING as much. You're getting Constitutional protection for YOUR property — that's a good thing, and we've got to see it through the lens of the taxpayer and the homeowner."
🔥🔥🔥
Abolishment coming on the ballot in November, LFG!!
Or maybe just spend less. FL will have four straight years of spending reductions once next year’s budget is signed later this month.
Some localities have doubled spending. Operating at spending levels of, say, two years ago is easily achievable — and would greatly help our homestead property owners.
Hello Mr. Hunter Biden,
You're getting six-digit likes on every post lately. I don't have any hope to ratio you or whatever through traditional "Hello" means.
But for those uninitiated, those who are captivated by your fake-humble persona obviously PR-engineered to capture unsuspecting disaffected Republicans:
You are not some humility, witty guy turning over a new leaf. You are the ultimate proof of nepotism, everything that the so-called "Epstein Class" is supposed to represent.
Let me explain - off the top of my head.
You were a board member of USGLC. U.S. Global Leadership Coalition. The most powerful NGO that nobody's ever heard of. Last year, I documented in several threads, how Liz Schrayer, USGLC lead, took credit for ramming through a 90 billion dollar bill for Ukraine in 2024, even as @mattvanswol demonstrated that Western North Carolina got zero help in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene because FEMA threw up their hands and said they ran out of funds.
USGLC, arguably, is the most powerful NGO that nobody has ever heard of. It includes a bunch of corporations, a bunch of nonprofit leads, and ... for some magical reason, I documented, extensively, linked, that Liz Schrayer started pursuing you in 2012. During the Obama years, when you were Biden's son. Are you a former Secretary of State? No. Are you a CEO of a Fortune 500 company? No. That puts you below the average USGLC board member, by a good tier.
So what DID get you on USGLC? The only reason: that you were the son of a sitting Vice President known for corruption, and you yourself were known for corruption.
You are not "folksy." You are the worst of the worst of the elite. Most of the elite, at least, get their credentials through Georgetown/George Washington/Harvard Kennedy. You got yours purely on nepotism. Any photographs you have of yourself at motels is proof that you are so incompetent that you waste all your money, not that you come from humble beginnings. Because others like @MarcoPolo501c3 have thoroughly documented that you benefited a great deal from your nepotism.
You even tried to bait those in with saying you prefer to keep immigration "legal" - but we all know the trap that keeps illegal immgrants here: outlaw deportations, and make every immigrant case "asylum", and magically, everyone who might've been here illegally a few years ago is legal.
You may get 175K likes on your semi-subverting, PR-designed photographs. But those of us who know, know you're fake.

@USronaldcarter Justice Sotomayor warned this "will be chaos for this Nation's public schools."
There will be NO chaos if schools just keep controversial topics away from all kids.
In 1985 I made the USA World Championships Gymnastics Team. I placed 3rd at the Trials, my highest placement to date as a young gymnast.
At Worlds, on my 8th and final event I fell. It was a devastating fall. I missed a release move and tumbled to the ground. My right foot was stuck while my body spun around the knee. I knew it was bad. I screamed, or thought I did. No one came. It felt like forever on the raised platform, no coach, no trainer, no doctor while I writhed.
Eventually my coach realized I wasn't getting back up. They rushed to me. The trainer thought my knee was dislocated and he attempted to push it back in place. It wasn't dislocated though. My femur was broken - we didn't know that yet - and he was pushing bone against bone.
My dad joined me in the ambulance. I remember sobbing -- "What am I going to do now? I don't know how to do anything else. This is all I want to do."
He cried too. We assumed my career was over. He said: "You can do anything you want to do. You're smart and you can be anything you want to be. You're just getting started." He was right in so many ways.
But all I wanted then was to be a gymnast.
I was taken to the nearest hospital and rushed into surgery. It was a French speaking hospital and we didn't fully understand what anyone was telling us.
When I came out of surgery a doctor who spoke English told us "It was a broken femur. Not her knee." We cheered. We were all so happy. My coaches, my parents, me. Bones often heal better than joints.
I left Canada on crutches with a full leg cast. When I got home to Pennsylvania, my doctor changed the cast to a lighter one, with a hinge at the knee. And I went back to the gym. I started training right away.
8 months later, in June 1986, I walked into the arena in Indianapolis for USA Championships. No one thought I'd be there. Everyone thought I was done. Forever.
I knew I wasn't done. Not yet.
I won. I became the National Champion less than a year after breaking my femur on the world's stage.
Never give up. Never.
Half the people sneering at the existence of disabled children with medical needs have a “hate has no home here” sign in their yard. Half the people fighting for a woman’s right to choose don’t even believe women exist as a distinct objective reality. Frauds.
Dear @McJuggerNuggets,
You just asked the world for empathy and sympathy because you aborted your unborn baby because you found out he had Downs Syndrome.
I'm not sure if this is some sick humiliation ritual, or you and your wife are simply dead inside, but I'd like to show you what you just ended for the sake of convenience:
iamjuddah Funniest roast of that tweet? The joke’s on anyone begging Grok to dunk on a 16-year-old who sued her school district, sparked a Title IX probe, and landed front row at Trump’s event for defending girls’ bathrooms and sports. Courage isn’t roast material. Your link’s the real punchline here. 😂
First…… Senator Rick Scott stepped aside and did not take the gavel today!
@SenRickScott Thank you for stepping aside and not taking the gavel today. We noticed…… and we appreciate it.
But today’s Senate club enforcers were Deb Fischer of Nebraska and Chuck Grassley of Iowa.
Once again, Republican voters watched senators preserve meaningless pro forma sessions that keep the Senate technically “in session” for one purpose…… blocking President Trump’s recess appointments.
Republican voters did not fight to hand Republicans power just to watch Senate Republicans protect procedure, protect the institution, and slow down the America First agenda the people demanded.
The Senate is protecting itself…… from what, I honestly do not know…… because we are the people who vote for them, support them, campaign for them, and ultimately have the power to remove them.
So what force inside Washington keeps convincing Republicans to go against the very voters who put them there?
@SenatorFischer…… you betrayed the conservative movement today. Nebraska voters are watching…… and your next election is in 2030.
@ChuckGrassley …… Iowa voters are watching too. Your next election is in 2028.
We the People are paying attention!
