250 years ago, on July 2nd, 1776, the Second Continental Congress voted to declare independence from Great Britain.

John Adams wrote to his wife the next day:

“The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America.—I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.”

Well, not quite.

On July 4th, the delegates adopted the Declaration of Independence — and that has been the day for celebrations ever since.

STUNNING:  USAID + THE BIG GRIFT

Looks like USAID supported college tuition for Anwar Aulaqi (Awlaki) who later became a high level al Qaeda terrorist.

Aulaqi falsely claimed he was born in Yemen to secure the financial help via the State Dept. when he was actually a US citizen, born in Las Cruces New Mexico.

Aulaqi would later develop close ties with several 9/11 hijackers and attain leadership status in AQ's Yemen affiliate.

Aulaqi was the godfather of the digital jihad that leveraged his writings and the web to radicalize Americans to AQ's cause.

Aulaqi became the first American targeted for death by the CIA. In 2011, he was killed in a US drone strike.

This 1997 Aulaqi mugshot is for soliciting prostitutes.

@RonDeSantis It’s almost like local media have talking points to tell us taxpayers all the police and fire services we will lose by not handing over property tax money.

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

Good graph that shows property tax revenue taken from homeowners rising much higher than increases in population and inflation.

This is nationwide; the effect in Florida is even more dramatic.

Time for a taxpayer revolt!

BREAKING: Biden-appointed judge Sparkle Sooknanan, who was born in Trinidad and Tobago, just BLOCKED the Trump admin from using a social security database system to verify voter eligibility.

We have foreign judges telling us we can’t secure our elections

What are we even doing?

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

🚨 OUTRAGEOUS: Meet judge Sparkle Sooknanan, born in Trinidad, just overruled President Trump’s effort to STOP illegals from voting in U.S. elections!

Unelected foreign born activist judge blocking the will of the American people.

This is why we need secure elections and common sense NOW.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! DNI Tulsi Gabbard has shocked the deep state by on her last day in office releasing bombshell files that Dr. Fauci used TAX DOLLARS to fund the WUHAN LAB responsible for COVID and millions of deaths

And he purposefully covered it up.

HE LIED TO CONGRESS! Fauci deserves charges!

Tulsi is a patriot 🇺🇸

“Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.”

“Dr. Fauci was the behind-the-scenes advisor who, alongside his hand-picked so-called experts, pushed the intelligence community to endorse a natural animal origin to hide his dangerous gain of function research that he funded using taxpayer dollars.”

“All of this in a deliberate attempt to cover up the truth and shift the blame and attention away from Fauci's own actions.”

“The tactics that were used to hide the truth are straight from the Deep State playbook. Politicized self-serving leaders, like Dr. Fauci, covered up their own wrongdoing and abuses of power, manipulated intelligence, lied to Congress, and undermined a duly elected president by restricting his access to the vital facts he needed to keep the country safe.”

I think Palm Beach County needs a spending intervention!

The amount of recent wasteful and excessive spending is eye-popping.

Last years waste: $344M
This years waste: $443M

Total over last 6 years….

$1,229,718,280!!!

There’s no better exhibit for property tax reform than PBC.

The Biden Administration began the investigation. Gavin’s wife’s Chief of Staff plead guilty to charges brought by Biden’s DOJ. What a joke.

The DOJ investigations tied to Gavin Newsom (and associates like his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom) originated around 2025, roughly a year before Newsom’s public announcement on June 15, 2026. https://t.co/WZ3GRF1ODa https://t.co/m442p59E8U
Key Timeline Details
• 2025 origins: Multiple federal probes (led by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of California in Sacramento) began from local/state whistleblower complaints, not at the direction of President Trump or Washington DOJ leadership. These included:
• A tax-related inquiry into Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s nonprofit organizations and finances (some reports specify early 2025). https://t.co/uwKFSH8NDw
• A separate corruption/wire fraud case involving Newsom’s former chief of staff, Dana Williamson (indicted in 2025 under the prior administration; she took a plea deal in May 2026). https://t.co/hlu7uUaTAy
• June 2026 escalation: Newsom’s office stated that investigators began actively contacting friends, former employees, and associates in June 2026. In the days/weeks leading up to June 15, federal agents (including FBI/IRS) reached out to more than a dozen people, sought records, and reportedly used grand jury subpoenas for bank/financial documents. Newsom framed this as a politically motivated “fishing expedition” tied to his potential 2028 presidential run and criticism of Trump. https://t.co/WZ3GRF1ODa https://t.co/PGO2dzWzjD
• June 15, 2026 public announcement: Newsom released a video accusing Trump of weaponizing the DOJ. Sources familiar with the matter confirmed ongoing probes but disputed that they were newly ordered from Washington—they had been running locally for about a year. https://t.co/LeATQ8irO6
In short, the underlying investigations started in 2025 (pre-Trump’s second term), with heightened activity and direct outreach to Newsom’s circle beginning in June 2026. No charges have been filed against Newsom or his wife as of the latest reports. Details come from Newsom’s statements, law enforcement sources, and news outlets; the DOJ has declined to comment.

🚨 HOLY CRAP. The FBI has BUSTED an EXPLOSIVE DRONE terror plot that targeted President Trump's UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House

They planned to blow up explosive-packed drones, and forcing crowds a "pre-staged SNIPER TEAM"

"A second wave to storm the White House gate."

A network of nearly 24 suspects IDENTIFIED, at least 5 in custody @FBIDirectorKash

Thank God for law and order!

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. A Florida CFO audit just found nearly *$3 BILLION* in fraud, waste and abuse spending at the local level

Our property taxes fund this BS!

Now voters get to ABOLISH most primary homeowner property taxes this November, and counties have get DOGE'd! 🔥

"We have exposed more than $2.7 billion, billion with a B, in excessive and wasteful spending. Here are the numbers."

"The city of Jacksonville, two years ago, our calculations wasted $199 million of your taxpayer dollars. Last year's budget, $275 million. That's on top of the $199 million."

"In Orange County, they wasted $190 million two years ago. Last year, $300 million. Again, continuing to go up."

"The city of Orlando, $22 million, Hillsborough County, $278 million, Broward County, $189 million, Manatee County, $112 million."

"Miami-Dade, we were here before, $302 million. City of Miami, $94 million, Nassau County, $53M, Alachua, $84M, Seminole, $48M. The city of Fort Pierce, $10 million."

"City of St. Petersburg, $49 million. Citrus County, $39 million. Flagler County, $59 million."

"St. Lucie County, $46 million. And the worst of them all so far, Palm Beach County wasted $344 million of your hard-earned tax dollars just two years ago when the 24-25 budget cycle."

Now, DeSantis' proposal has made it to the ballot. End property taxes!

Local governments in Florida feasted on close to double the property taxes collected from $32 billion (2019) to $60 billion.
That’s an insane amount of money based on unrealized estimated earnings (property valuation), not actual.
So, once and for all, it’s due time to adjust according to the circumstances, time to stop spending like a drunken sailor.
Of course, most politicians hate to see money get taken away from their hands / control / pet projects, but it’s well damn time for it.

@PKPatchworks Everyone saying nitrox is a waste at 40 doesn’t care how they feel. I am always on nitrox. It’s like an energy drink for shallow dives. Not expensive with your own tank fills. My shop is always throwing out free nitrox fills.
