We just went through this in Cherokee County, Georgia. Very well run, fiscally conservative, second lowest taxes in the state.
Our tax bills went through the roof this year.
2/3 of our bills is schools and the school system is in charge of that. After 62 we don't have to pay the school tax.
For the remainder, here the county sets the millage rate, but the state is in charge of the assessments. In fact, they slapped the county for not raising the assessments enough last year.
Our Commission Chair and our State Rep had public meetings to explain this and to talk about solutions, one of which is to raise the home value ceiling. Right now it's I think $425,000 exempt from taxes. With values skyrocketing, people who bought a house thirty years ago for a fraction of that now are above that limit. Here it's literally a matter for some of losing the family farm.
Do call the assessor's office. Find out if you can refute it. Some people have luck doing that.
He does everything for a reason, not ego. Every word -- every letter of every word -- is calculated, even if it takes years for even the sharpest anon to figure it out.
So, why is he saying Truth is the greatest. And hottest? I have always wondered what role it is going to play. It wasn't birthed just to be another social media choice.
Victor Hansen Davis said exactly that as I recall about the time Trump announced he was running. Paraphrasing: He is a man people may not like, or may even loathe, but he is the man for the time. The ONLY man capable of doing what needs to be done. I wonder if people who hate him will be able to grasp and make peace with this.
Amber I'm on a mission to take back fine art. We are doing a tremendous job in music etc, so it's time. I've just started FB, TS, and IG pages and am populating them with Patriotic Art. So far mostly iconic flag, Founders, Liberty images we older folks know and that fill our hearts with love of country. No Obama o nor Trump heads in nooses, and probably the cut off is before the Vietnam war. It's about love of country, as in Founding. Unifying. I left TikTok a few years ago. Am wondering if it's worth my time -- I'd have to do something to make the images work in video -- to post there?
It was Captain Deplorable. It may have been a compilation of videos by the impersonator as I found one that was part of it: Trump Mug Shot Mona Lisa He's @CaptnDeplorable on X. But there was so much more, and I didn't hear it from the beginning. Trudeau wants me to touch his printer was a thread repeated to other people as well. And you know he had a field day with Christie. I should have taken notes (I was cleaning bathrooms.)
It's a last stand of the RINO's a la the Bush dynasty. Bannon did some interviews a few days ago that explained it real well.
