It’s imperative that we revert to STANDARD, not Daylight time, for two reasons, one of which you may have never considered.
You know the first: solar noon is closest to 12 o’clock all year. That means an equal number of hours before and after noon each day.
This also means earlier sunrises which are significantly better for establishing a healthy circadian rhythm.
The second reason is that nearly ONE THIRD of US counties are in the wrong timezone.
A significant swath of the country isn’t only an artificial hour ahead because of daylight time… but TWO HOURS ahead of true solar time.
Year-round daylight time, especially without recalibrating time zones, would establish this error permanently, affecting millions of Americans.
We should be letting the Sun dictate the day the way God made it. Arbitrary, artificial tampering would be worse for us all.
Fix the time zones and affix standard time.
You can't tax rich people on unrealized gains from stocks because "it's not real money until it's sold."
So explain to me why my property taxes keep going up based on the unrealized value of my house?
I didn't sell it.
I didn't cash out.
I didn't make a profit.
But somehow I'm paying taxes on paper gains every single year.
Interesting how "unrealized gains" only become a problem when wealthy folks are involved.
Thomas Massie just revealed that Pete Hegseth is going to Kentucky to personally campaign against him.
“This shows how serious it is to the global elites that I lose.”
“The Secretary of War may be coming to my district to campaign against me.”
“During a war.”
“And that’s why it’s so serious that I do win.”
“If there’s gonna be any hope in Washington, DC.”
“If there’s gonna be anybody that ever challenges the narrative, whether it’s on war or immunity for companies, whether they’re data centers or pesticide manufacturers.”
Clayton Morris: “It’s one big uniparty.”
“And when you call out the corruption machine, they don’t like that.”
“Because they’ve been duping the American people for so long.”
@RepThomasMassie@MassieforKY@ClaytonMorris
Thomas Massie blocked a plan to give AI data centers immunity from local and state laws.
Twice.
And he blocked a plan to give pesticide companies immunity to mass poison Americans.
“It’s cronyism.”
“The first version of the Big Bill had a provision that would let data centers ignore state laws.”
“And not just state laws, but local zoning laws.”
“Marjorie Taylor Greene and I fought to get that taken out, and it was taken out, fortunately.”
“That issue came up again recently in my Judiciary Committee.”
“We were marking up eight bills one day in a work session, and I noticed that number six on the list was to exempt data centers from eight different environmental laws.”
“They couldn’t be sued if they didn’t have the permits.”
“Even though some of those environmental laws may be onerous, I don’t know why you would give an exemption to data centers, but not to the farmers or other industries.”
“So I tweeted about it, in real time, blew the whistle, and they decided to take it off of the schedule that day.”
“I have obstructed things like special privileges and immunities for data centers.”
“And most recently in the Farm Bill, they had a provision that was gonna give special privileges and immunities … to Monsanto-Bayer, which makes glyphosate.”
“They said, we’ll give every pesticide immunity from all state labeling laws.”
“Myself and some other colleagues worked hard, we drafted amendments.”
“We forced it to a vote on the floor of the House and took that special provision … removed from the Farm Bill.”
“And I did vote for the Farm Bill because it has my signature piece of legislation in it, which is a bill to make it easier for farmers to use a local processor and sell their beef, pork, and lamb directly to consumers.”
This is why the deep state is desperately trying to oust him from Congress right now.
And it’s why he needs the people to rally behind him now more than ever.
@RepThomasMassie@MassieforKY
I spoke in front of the Supreme Court to oppose a case that would give legal immunity to pesticides.
And this evening I cosponsored an amendment with @chelliepingree to strip similar immunity from the Farm Bill.
My PRIME Act is in the Farm Bill, so I’m trying to clean it up.
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✔️

When Bondi crashed her testimony at our hearing yesterday, I knew the President would attack me as revenge. Sure enough he did.
But I won’t be intimidated into backing off my fight for justice for the victims.
Can you help me stay in this fight?

Hey @AaronRDay you are missing half the story.
Shall we do a public discussion to go through the missing details?
Getting to the bottom of the truth is all that matters.
I had several requests for this over the last few days.
We can find a neutral mediator if you like?

Leaves behind:
The destruction of the central bank.
The precedent that finance answers to sovereignty.
The expansion of executive power.
A nation reminded that elites are never permanent.
Proof that an orphan from the American frontier can defy empires.
