MORE PROPERTY TAX INSANITY!: The City of Waxahachie just voted to RAISE PROPERTY TAXES!!
WATCH the liberal, tax hiking Mayor Pro-Tem COMPLAIN that the Texas Legislature requires him to publicly state that he is, in fact, RAISING PROPERTY TAXES!!
Darn right, we do! Texans deserve the TRUTH… and to know who is responsible for raising their property taxes!!
The Waxahachie officials who voted to betray Waxahachie taxpayers by voting FOR HIGHER PROPERTY TAXES were Mayor Billie Wallace, Mayor Pro Tem Travis Smith, and Council Member Tres Atkins.
The Waxahachie council members who voted NO were Patrick Souter and Chris Wright.
To my HD-10 constituents in Waxahachie, I’m sorry this is happening to you… you deserve better than this!!
I’ll keep fighting for more liberty and lower taxes!!
MORE OUTRAGEOUS PROPERTY TAX HIKES!: Midlothian City Council just voted, unanimously, to RAISE PROPERTY TAXES!!
WATCH a council member make a motion to RAISE PROPERTY TAXES… then watch every single council member vote FOR it!
BETRAYAL!!
I promised Ellis County voters I’d do everything in my power to reduce the crushing burden of property taxes that are taxing too many out of their homes, and it’s infuriating that local elected officials continue hiking taxes.
Republicans are supposed to shrink government and cut taxes!
Democrats want more government and higher taxes… just like the Midlothian City Council voted for.
Midlothian residents deserve the TRUTH… and to know who is responsible for raising property taxes!!
The officials who voted to grow government and RAISE TAXES in Midlothian were Mayor Justin Coffman, Mayor Pro Tem Clark Wickliffe, and Council Members Richard Reno, Kasey Cheshier, Anna Hammonds, Ross Weaver, and Wayne Shuffield.
To my friends, neighbors, homeowners, business operators, and constituents in Midlothian, I’m sorry… you deserve better.
I’ll keep fighting for more liberty and to ELIMINATE PROPERTY TAXES… and I look forward to working with my colleagues in the Texas Legislature next session to make liberal property tax hikes like this ILLEGAL unless approved by voters in an election.
Every time I pick up my microphone, I hope I'm making you proud in Heaven. Charlie, not a day's gone by in the past year that I haven't thought about you. In college, you sparked my passion for defending the truth. Now, even in death, I know you've been guiding so many of us once more. After we had our falling out 8 years ago, I sadly dismissed your work. I've spent so much of the last 365 days watching countless debates and speeches of yours, to learn who you became after I left Turning Point and rediscover everything I missed out on. To say I've learned a thing or two from watching has been an understatement. The most important thing you've taught me this past year is that my vocation serves a purpose far greater than politics. Thank you for showing me how my work, which often feels areligious, is actually building the Kingdom of God. Thank you for living a life worthy of Christ and leaving us your beautiful family. And as I said last year, thank you for giving me my first job at TPUSA and giving me the chance to meet my husband through it. Thank you for everything, Charlie. My tears will never be enough to express how grateful I am for you. I hope I can tell you that in Heaven some day ❤️
You have to watch this. This man was issued a ticket by an AI Red light Camera and he wasn’t even in the state that issued him the ticket.
Now you would think this would be a simple matter to resolve; however, it’s anything but because the company that owns this equipment is a private company owned by a global corporation that isn’t even in the US!
So we now have foreign actors accessing American Citizens personal and private information. How in the hell is this allowed!
SHE BUILT THE TOOL DOGE USED TO FOLLOW THE MONEY
Before https://t.co/fCs1WbyY64, the public could search government awards by year or recipient, but not the actual language buried inside their descriptions.
Jennica Pounds changed that.
The deaf database engineer built a tool that allows anyone to search specific keywords, uncover questionable government spending and trace taxpayer dollars as they flow through the NGO industrial complex. DOGE used her work, and now the American people can use it too.
In Episode 95, Lara Logan sits down with the woman behind DataRepublican to examine the money networks involving USAID, activist organizations and influential figures such as George Soros. They also discuss Jennica’s remarkably accurate 2024 election analysis, the personal cost of being publicly exposed and how her Christian faith helped her endure it all. @DataRepublican | @DataInterpretr | @GoingRoguewLara

One of the most common calls I get from the ER are for dog attacks - 99% pit bulls.
Mostly these are family pits who all the sudden just snap.
I've seen kids with chewed out eyeballs and scalped faces.
One time there was a kid who got bit in the face - one cheek with a perfect childhood dimple, the other cheek nothing but blood and gore.
Very rare to see kids after suffering a prolonged attack since they're dead at the scene. But adults often survive prolonged attacks.
There was one lady - middle aged, relatively large - who agreed to watch a friend's pit bull. She got attacked in her garage. She showed up with both arms and one leg partially amputated, nearly all the skin of her anterior chest and abdomen was ripped from the underlying fascial layers.
This is all to say that every time I go to the park with my kid, I carry a Glock 19 - partially for protection against societal dregs/third-worlders but more so for protection against their dogs.
Imagine you buy a piece of residential property or have a large backyard. With skyrocketing property taxes, crushing inflation, and a statewide housing crisis, you or a family member might need an affordable, flexible housing option. You decide to utilize your own private property by parking a recreational vehicle (RV) on the land you own to use as a temporary living quarters or a small residence. You pay the mortgage, you pay the taxes, and it’s your dirt.
But if you live in the @CityOfOlton, local bureaucrats have decided that your affordable housing option doesn't fit their vision for the town, and they are using the municipal code to crush it.
Just a few weeks ago, on July 13, the Olton City Council officially adopted Ordinance No. O-07-2026-001. According to an official public notice released by the city, they have established sweeping new regulations that make it outright illegal to use an RV as a residence or living quarters anywhere within the city limits.
But it gets worse. Not only is the city banning you from living in an RV on your own land, but the ordinance also explicitly forbids property owners from even connecting an RV to municipal or private utilities while parked on their own property. The city is actively cutting off your access to basic utilities just to ensure you can't use your own property the way you want to.
And what happens if you refuse to comply with these arbitrary dictates? The city has made it clear that property owners will be held responsible and hit with enforcement actions and fines. While they threw in a temporary "grandfather" clause for those already living in RVs, it comes with a catch: you are now forced to register with the government by next year just to keep using your own property the way you already were.
Local governments love to use "ordinance updates" to justify these moves. But let's call it what it really is: an exclusionary attack on private property rights. By introducing a maze of new, hyper-specific mandates targeting RVs, city politicians are actively trying to suffocate working-class residents and steal your fundamental right to develop the land you bought and paid for. When a city council can unilaterally draft ordinances explicitly designed to keep you from using your own utilities or living in your own RV on your own land, you aren't really an independent property owner; you're just a tenant answering to local zoning bureaucrats.
DM and ask how you can get involved in fighting local government tyranny.

Good morning. Today is Jerry Garcia’s 84th birthday and I’m celebrating with this mellow FOTM live cut from the base of the Great Pyramid of Giza on 9/16/78. Highly recommend.🐐🔥
I don't know if we'll ever win the war against human trafficking and child sexual exploitation in this lifetime. But I know Who wins one day.
And until that day comes, we'll keep fighting to rescue one more.
I've been sharing music videos here on X for nearly five years because I love the music and enjoy connecting with people who do too.
It seems more people feel the need to point out something negative, the song, the artist, a date I got wrong, or something in my description.
Many aren't even followers, just people passing through.
Constructive corrections are always welcome, and I don't mind learning when I make a mistake.
But sometimes I wonder why it's easier to criticize than to simply enjoy the music or keep scrolling.
Music is meant to bring people together, and I hope we can remember that.💐
When I have a bad day... I circle back to this song and share it... When I wake up the next day my friends have lifted me up... I wish you my kind of Big ❤️ success...
@MackLatimerTX Property taxes or heavy handed zoning ordinances, it’s two different sides of the same coin.
We can never really own our homes in Texas.
Imagine going to the store, buying a few sparklers and small fireworks, and setting them off in your own backyard with your kids to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence. You're being safe, you're on the property you pay sky-high taxes on, and you’re just trying to make some memories.
But instead of a quiet night, the police show up at your door and hand you a devastating $2,000 fine.
Why? Because your neighbor used the @CityOfArlington's official government snitch portal to report you.
Over the holiday weekend, from July 3rd through July 6th, the local government in Arlington didn't just ban fireworks—they actively weaponized the community against itself. According to official city notices, bureaucrats launched and heavily promoted a dedicated online reporting tool explicitly designed for residents to anonymously rat out their neighbors for celebrating with fireworks.
Think about how incredibly backward that is. On the exact weekend we are supposed to be celebrating freedom and independence, a local Texas government set up a digital informant system to crack down on families lighting sparklers on their own concrete. Instead of focusing police resources on actual, violent crime, city politicians are utilizing municipal codes and astronomical fines to turn citizens into neighborhood watchdogs for the state.
When a city council creates a special portal to help you snitch on your neighbor for celebrating American liberty on their own private property, they aren't protecting the community—they are suffocating your freedom and destroying the fabric of the neighborhood.
DM and ask how you can get involved in fighting local government tyranny.
