Below is from a email I got from the White House email list list on Mar 14 at 4:53 PM. You can watch the video that came with it here.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQ0vjc8UzDw My advice is to question all the ridicule hurled at our president online. Exactly where is the negative news about the president coming from? Is it good for our country? Why not support the president; elected by a extreme amount of votes? Am I better than our whole country; that voted for our president? Is it right to be against the entire United States? I do not mean to be mean and as everyone knows I am always welcome to many points of view; this is just ridiculous and has been online for many, many years. I have seen a little improvement as of late and hope to see it get better still; for good.
The United States economy is a complex structure with many indicators, systems, and measures of scoring. No single metric can determine it’s health.

The death penalty is not only cruel and inhumane, but it is also deeply flawed. Innocent people have been executed, and the system is riddled with errors. On top of that, racial and economic disparities plague the U.S. policing system, court verdicts, and judges' sentencing choices. Even former executioners have come forward to say the death penalty is nothing more than legalized torture.

The tragic death of 14-year-old Emily Pike, a member of the San Carlos Apache Tribe, has shocked and devastated her community. Emily was found dead in February after going missing in January, her body dismembered and left in a remote area. Her death highlights the epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous women, who are disproportionately affected by violence and disappearances. To address this problem, the Arizona state legislature is considering a bill that would create an Amber Alert-style system for missing Indigenous women to ensure they are given the same urgent attention as any other missing person.
The community's heartbreak over Emily Pike's death is a painful reminder of the systemic neglect faced by Indigenous communities. Native American women go missing and are murdered at a much higher rate than any other population, yet the resources and support available to help solve these cases are grossly inadequate. It's time to give these cases the attention they deserve, starting with the creation of an Amber Alert-style system that will notify the public and expedite the search for missing Indigenous women.
Sign the petition to support the legislation for an Amber Alert-style system for missing Indigenous women and to demand justice for Emily Pike.: https://www.thepetitionsite.com/908/991/047/

Muslim-centric EPIC City draws Collin County meeting ire
Plans haven’t been submitted, but most residents at Monday’s public hearing opposed the project.
Mar. 31, 2025 Updated 6:34 p.m. CDT
On Monday, all but three speakers at the public hearing opposed the project. More than 90 people sat in the audience of Collin County Commissioners Court in McKinney, and the meeting was so packed that attendees had to park in a field nearby.
Residents poured into the lobby outside the meeting room and into another area downstairs in the building. Many wore clothes or hats with American flags or logos like “America First” or “Make America Great Again.”
Heated debate between supporters and opponents of the project picked up outside the meeting room during a break.
Monday’s meeting comes after Gov. Greg Abbott directed a series of state agencies to investigate EPIC and its affiliated entities. Abbott announced Monday he has directed the Texas Rangers to investigate the mosque and related businesses for “potential criminal activities.”
At least four other investigations into EPIC are being led by Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Texas Workforce Commission, the Texas State Board of Securities and the Texas Funeral Service Commission. Abbott previously said in an X post that a “dozen” state agencies were investigating.
County Judge Chris Hill said the commissioners court wasn’t accustomed to having an audience this large. About 60 residents spoke during Monday’s meeting.
It wasn’t clear whether EPIC representatives attended Monday’s meeting. A spokesperson for Community Capital Partners and the engineering firm for EPIC City was present.
Those who opposed EPIC City cited concerns about allegations that the planned development violates housing laws. Others expressed concerns about Islamic religious practices.
“I have a feeling many people won’t speak today because the media, possibly other Muslims, will label us as racist,” said Tasha Escoto. She said she did not support the development. “I’m against a religion that I believe allows abuse to women. We are a nation founded on Christian values. Why are we even allowing this?”
At least seven speakers said America was a Christian or Judeo-Christian nation. Many described elements of Islam that they did not support, and a few expressed fears that members of the development might convert their children to Islam.
Two people who said they were immigrants or children of immigrants shared their family’s stories and said immigrants to the United States should “assimilate.”
Darrel Evans, a Collin County resident who previously ran as a Democrat for Texas House District 89, said he was supportive of the project. He accused Abbott and Paxton of misusing their powers by directing the investigations. He said the EPIC City project was still in the “idea” phase.
“Are we investigating ideas now?” he asked.
“I’ve seen a troubling pattern in Texas where marginalized communities — Black, brown, immigrant and migrant populations — are consistently targeted by discriminatory laws,” Evans said.
“It’s disappointing that these so-called Christians with American values are so quick to abandon those values and the Constitution,” Evans added. “My hope is that this commission will remember that they represent all residents.”
Erin Ragsdale, an executive vice president and partner at communication firm Allyn that is representing Community Capital Partners, was the last of about 60 people to speak at the podium Monday.
Ragsdale said EPIC City was “open to everyone” — Muslim and non-Muslim alike.
“I don’t think we would be here at this early stage if there were plans floating around for a master-planned community with a place of worship that was Christian,” Ragsdale said.
She also said EPIC’s members were “good neighbors,” and highlighted food drives and other community programs the mosque does that are open to people in need regardless of religion.
David Kalhoefer, a senior planner with engineering firm Westwood, told commissioners that a development application hasn’t been submitted. A traffic impact analysis, flood study and environmental study have been completed.
Community Capital Partners told The Dallas Morning News it reached out to Hill on March 19 to request a meeting where it would provide an overview of the project.
The firm declined to present during Monday’s meeting because the project is still in the planning phase.
Kalhoefer told The News that the firm is revising the project’s masterplan based on the results of the flood study. They hope to present plans to officials later this year.
“I cannot support this project,” Hill, the county judge, said as the hearing neared its end.
Investigations
Paxton announced the first investigation last Tuesday. The state’s top prosecutor requested documents from Community Capital Partners related to its EPIC City development. The request is part of Paxton’s investigation into whether the group is violating state consumer protection laws.
Abbott announced Wednesday that the Texas Funeral Service Commission sent a cease-and-desist letter, alleging the mosque was operating a funeral home without a license.
The Texas State Securities Board launched its investigation Thursday into potential failures to “comply with applicable state and federal securities requirements, including protections against fraud.” In a news release, Abbott said the mosque and affiliated companies may be misleading investors.
On Friday, the Texas Workforce Commission announced it was investigating EPIC and Community Capital Partners to determine if the parties violated any fair housing laws.
Community Capital Partners told The News in February that the organization would adhere to the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits the denial of housing to a person based on their religion and other protected classes.
The organization stated it “will not enforce blanket bans on any group of people, but we will conduct thorough individualized assessments of prospective buyers to ensure they align with our goals of safety and security.”
“CCP intends to follow all applicable rules, regulations and laws and intends to develop an inclusive community that all citizens can be proud of,” the firm said in a statement Monday.: https://www.dallasnews.com/news/faith/2025/03/31/why-are-we-even-allowing-this-residents-speak-out-about-d-fw-muslim-centric-development/
Why North Texans of Chinese descent are fighting limits on some property ownership
A pair of bills in Austin would limit foreign nationals and companies from China, Iran, North Korea and Russia from buying real estate in the state.
Apr. 1, 2025
Updated 12:59 p.m. CDT
The legislation would restrict foreign nationals and companies from China, Russia, Iran and North Korea from owning property in the state.
In recent years, hundreds of bills aimed at limiting land ownership by certain non-U.S. nationals, including those from China, have been introduced around the country, according to data collected by the Committee of 100, which formed to address critical issues confronting people of Chinese ancestry in the United States.
So far, more than 22 states have passed legislation restricting property ownership based on country of origin, according to the organization. A Florida law enacted in 2023 limits land ownership by people from multiple countries, including China, but has been temporarily halted by a federal appeals court.
Supporters of the bill have argued the bills will protect Texas’ natural resources and critical infrastructure from foreign threats. Robb Misso, CEO of Texas Alliance of Manufacturers Associations, said he doesn’t think the bills will hurt the state’s ability to bring jobs to the state.

Tariffs Work — and President Trump’s First Term Proves It
For the first time in decades, the United States will see fair trade as President Donald J. Trump announces tariffs to level the playing field for American workers and businesses.
Despite the rhetoric from politicians and the media, studies have repeatedly shown tariffs are an effective tool for achieving economic and strategic objectives — just as they did in President Trump’s first term.
A 2024 study on the effects of President Trump’s tariffs in his first term found that they “strengthened the U.S. economy” and “led to significant reshoring” in industries like manufacturing and steel production.
A 2023 report by the U.S. International Trade Commission — which analyzed the effects of President Trump’s Section 232 and 301 tariffs on more than $300 billion of U.S. imports — found the tariffs reduced imports from China, effectively stimulated more U.S. production of the affected goods, and had very minor effects on downstream prices.
According to the Economic Policy Institute, the tariffs implemented by President Trump during his first term “clearly show[ed] no correlation with inflation” and had only a fleeting effect on overall prices.: https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/04/tariffs-work-and-president-trumps-first-term-proves-it/

Trump's tariffs on cars will create good jobs and increase wages in America
Brave American soldiers helped win World War II. But they could not have succeeded without a rock-solid auto industry that mass-produced tanks, trucks and jeeps by the millions.
Today, this key pillar of America’s once-vaunted “Arsenal of Democracy” has been hollowed out by decades of unfair trade. No longer does America fully manufacture its own automobiles. We largely assemble high-value parts made overseas.
To restore our auto industry to strategic dominance, President Donald Trump has imposed 25% tariffs not just on foreign-built autos but also on imported auto parts. These new Trump tariffs will provide powerful incentives for automakers to bring engine, transmission and drivetrain production back to American soil.: https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2025/04/02/trump-tariffs-auto-imports-ford-toyota-honda/82754296007/

I definitely wanted to say something about the Muslim religion in my last post here so I rewrote the whole thing on my art blog. I do not allow politics on my art blog. I do like to talk about religion there. Since this has to do with politics and religion; I will post it here as well.:
Recently I had to research the Muslim Religion because it related to some controversial problems I have seen in America that I thought needed a voice of protest by Americans. It was not difficult at all to find information online quickly. Sharia law was one of the most outstanding problems that I never knew about by reading about it in the news. I did not know Sharia law existed until just recently when I researched it. After reading about Sharia law; I must make it clear that I do not agree with Sharia law and find it to be a direct threat to freedom in the United States and also a propagation of criminal behavior. I always try to say nice things about the Muslim people on my blog because there are so many of them here where I live. That is why I must make it clear here that I do not approve of Sharia law.: I got this from a quick Google AI search.: Basically from what I have read all Christians are guilty of shirk and by Sharia Law and are punished harshly, even by the death penalty. Muslims view Christians to be People of the Book, but may also regard them as committing shirk because of the doctrines of the Trinity and the Incarnation. : Read here. Also see.: Read here. Apostasy and Sharia Law: Some interpretations of Sharia law, particularly those that emphasize a strict interpretation of religious law, may prescribe harsh punishments, including the death penalty, for those who abandon Islam (apostasy) or commit shirk. Definition of apostasy in Islam Scholars of Islam differ as to what constitutes apostasy in that religion and under what circumstances an apostate is subject to the death penalty.: Read here. Whether Muslims and Christians can be friends can be very difficult and seems to be discouraged by the Muslim religion; especially when it comes to Sharia law. I found this page.: Read here. Of course I always believe in freedom of religion in America the land that I love. I must make it clear that I am very much against Sharia law. You could say my only problem with the Muslim religion is Sharia law and it's acceptance by the Muslim religion in anyway. I promise to pray for Muslims salvation as much as I can; from now on, simply because there seems to be so many of them here where I live. The bottom of the line is that these crimes are very much underreported.: Qisas and honor crimes.: Read here. Honor killing in the United States. Several honor killings have been documented in the United States. As of 2012, there is no central agency that collects data across all jurisdictions in regards to honor violence in the United States There is reluctance among some organizations to label events as honor killings to avoid stigmatizing Muslim and Arab cultures.: Read here. I am not prejudice no matter what; I have proven that by my thousands of pages against prejudice on the internet. I am and always will be against Sharia law and domestic violence.

Victor Perez, the victim of this abhorrent violence at the hands of police, was described by his family as nonverbal, barely able to walk, and having the cognitive ability of a 5-year-old.
Police were called by a neighbor who didn't know Victor — they saw him from across the street and read his body language as intoxication. Victor was also holding a knife, but according to Victor's aunt who was present, he was not threatening them, just refusing to give the knife back.
But when police arrived, they took no time to assess, understand, or deescalate. Exactly 12 seconds after arriving on the scene, running at Victor with weapons drawn, police opened fire at the disabled boy. Victor has had to have his leg amputated, and is now in a coma that his doctors aren't sure he'll ever wake up from.
Half of people killed by police in the United States have some form of a disability, such as Victor's cerebral palsy.
These officers are clearly unfit to serve and protect their community if they thought a child with autism and cerebral palsy holding a knife should be shot nearly a dozen times. They showed no signs of deescalating and explored zero nonlethal methods of getting the situation under control. This violent brutality from police is all too common in the United States, where particularly disabled people and people of color are targeted.
We cannot allow these officers to continue to serve as police and threaten the communities they are supposed to be protecting.: https://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/697/553/599/
I just quoted this in some very important emails to my Texas reps recently.: 1 Thessalonians 5:14 “Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.” If I were a police officer; I would write this down and keep it in my wallet or frame it in my house or tape it on my squad car dash to remind me of this.

Dear [Lawmaker],
As your constituent, I am urging you to support HB 1681 and stand with Texas-based small businesses. This bill will protect small businesses from taxes targeting online marketplace seller fees created by Rule 34 TAC §3.330 of the Texas Comptroller. Without legislative changes, the Comptroller Rule will go into effect, expand data processing sales taxes to online sellers, and disadvantage Texas small businesses.
HB 1681 protects Texas-based small businesses from additional taxes. HB 1681 offers a solution to a complex tax issue and rule published by the Texas Comptroller’s Office. HB 1681 would exempt services provided by online marketplaces from the definition of “data processing service” and would prevent the expansion of harmful taxes onto Texas small businesses.
E-commerce is a powerful tool that enables Texas small businesses and individuals to sell their products across the US and around the globe. Keeping Texas small businesses competitive with their peers in neighboring states is of the utmost importance. I know you care about issues impacting entrepreneurs and small businesses and I respectfully urge you to support HB 1681.

What is MS-13, the gang Donald Trump alleges El Salvador deportee Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a part of?
On Friday, Trump sought to defend the deportation by posting a photo of himself with an image purporting to be Abrego Garcia’s hand tattoos, with the words MS-13 seen just below the knuckles of the hand.
The text, available on the website for the Office of Justice Programs - part of the US Department of Justice – continues: “In addition to local crimes, MS-13 is known to participate in numerous transnational crimes; for example, they are involved in the illegal trafficking of stolen vehicles from the United States to Central America. They also participate in weapon smuggling and illegal firearm sales.
“MS-13 also has theft crews traveling across the United States, stealing over-the-counter medications from retail stores that are then sold in the illegal market.”
InSight Crime writes that MS-13 has origins in Los Angeles in the 1980s and has caused the Northern Triangle of Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras to become “one of the most violent places in the world outside a warzone”.
El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, launched a crackdown on MS-13 in 2022, which has since seen tens of thousands of people jailed. From here.
Sad to say I may look down on the judged MS-13 members in the lake of fire. I cry forever for those who deny Christ. My tears would not be enough tears for the lost; ever.

It is not going to be easy to do the right thing since the Biden administration did all the wrong things for so long. Sometimes you have to choose between the right thing to do for our country and what is cool in the city. I remember reading a recent list of things democrats believe in and in every line of the list of about 50 things; I suspected something that could be used as a scam to bankrupt our country. Since researching Venezuela I see the latest way the commies try to take over a country; it all seems so familiar. Meanwhile fentanyl kills our best young people and covid kills all our best old people. At the same time we use our so called justice system to turn on our own people with lawfare as our enemy's rejoice from their work to divide us all. If we keep sticking our heads in the sand; we will be sorry; if there are enough of us left to do so, in a matter of making a difference, before it is too late. The solution is very simple; we need to be more patriotic as a country. We all need to care more about our fellow Americans and our country; no matter what. Pro aris et focis.:

FBI warns Venezuelan government uses Tren de Aragua as proxy in “irregular warfare” as Trump administration charges gang leader under terrorism laws 04/25/2025:
The FBI’s newly disclosed intelligence assessment raises the stakes, claiming TdA’s operations within the U.S. are not just criminal but part of a foreign government strategy. The report alleges Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s regime uses the gang to destabilize American communities, undermine public safety
“TdA is not a street gang—it is a highly structured terrorist organization,” stated Attorney General Pam Bondi
The operation symbolizes a broader enforcement philosophy: treating TdA as a state-backed terror group requires integrating counter-narcotics with counterterrorism tools.
Yet the stakes are personal for Americans. TdA’s methods mirror those of nonstate militant groups: extorting communities, manipulating migration flows and destabilizing rival governments. With TdA’s networks expanding into South America and the U.S. simultaneously, this case is a critical test of whether transparency and aggressive enforcement can neutralize threats that blur the lines between organized crime and asymmetric warfare.: Read here.

Maybe Senator Ted Cruz is right. Maybe the democrats blindly think of their political strategy as a religion. I do not know what religion basically steals money from the American people. I do not know of a religion that ignores laws that protect American people. In my opinion; as of now, the democrats seem to be overly zealous, with their ultimate goal of destroying our country. It is very sad. There was a time when Christians would vote for democrats. Things need to change drastically with the democratic agenda. My advice remains the same; the democratic party needs to split up and just be themselves. They should not have a list of beliefs that they all share. Each democratic representative should resemble themselves and their own beliefs.
From email I received from Senator Ted Cruz's email list.:
The left has turned government into their religion—they worship power and control over the American people. That’s why they’re terrified right now. President Trump is back in office with a new team who are shaking up Washington and taking on the entrenched bureaucracy. From day one, his cabinet has moved with energy and purpose, uncovering waste, fraud, and abuse that the Democrats are desperate to protect. The same people who weaponized the federal government under Joe Biden are panicking because they know President Trump means business. In my lifetime, we’ve never seen a president come in and get more done in the first 100 days. This is what leadership looks like—and the American people are ready for it.
“The Democrats are terrified because President Trump has come into office with a cabinet that is a changed cabinet… We've never seen a president come in and move as fast or do as much in the first 100 days as Donald Trump has done.”
Rest assured, I am working tirelessly to turn our country around. God Bless!

Four alleged members of the "Tren de Aragua" criminal group arrested April 29, 2025
In a joint operation, officers from the Nariño Police Department's GAULA (National Action Group of Units of the National Guard), in coordination with intelligence personnel, captured four Venezuelan citizens in flagrante delicto for the crime of extortion, in an event that represents a significant blow against criminal organizations seeking to disrupt security in the region.
The detainees held three public buses, demanding $4,000 (approximately 16 million Colombian pesos) for their return. According to the investigation, the detainees identified themselves as alleged members of the "Tren de Aragua" criminal group, an organization accused of committing multiple crimes in different regions of the country.
It is worth noting that those arrested have criminal records for crimes such as homicide, illegal possession of firearms, and failure to provide food. From here.

Right on Texas! I have never once used social media and have always thought it was corny and a waist of time. Lol. Over the years I have discovered it seems to turn out; anything from stunts that injure and even kill people to mass murders. Maybe if the government completely controlled it by super advanced computer technology, it could work. I still would not be interested in it, personally, for kind of the same reasons I just mentioned. It seems to me that God prevents us from working together in mass and it has been that way since the Tower of Babel. Genesis 11:9 “Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.” Could be that is why social media never works for the total good.:

Ranking of the most dangerous cities in the world in 2024, by murder rate per 100,000 inhabitants
Published by Statista Research Department, Jan 23, 2025
In 2024, Colima in Mexico ranked as the world's most dangerous city with a homicide rate of 140 per 100,000 inhabitants. Seven of the 10 cities with the highest murder rates worldwide are all found in Mexico. The list does not include countries where war and conflict exist.
Latin America dominate murder statistics
Except for Mandela Bay, all the cities on the list are found in Latin America. Latin America also dominate the list of the world's most dangerous countries. Violence in Latin America is caused in great part by drug trafficking, weapons trafficking, and gang wars.

President Trump Honors America’s Heroes on Memorial Day
May 26, 2025
“In every hour of peril and every moment of crisis, American warriors have left behind the blessings of home and family to answer their nation’s call. They’ve offered all that they had within them and given their last breaths to each and every one of us — that we might live safe and breathe free.”
“The sacrifice that they made was not merely for a single battle, a long-ago victory, or a fleeting triumph decades or centuries past. Their sacrifice was for today, tomorrow, and every morning thereafter.”
“Every child that lives in peace, every home that is filled with joy and love, every day the Republic stands, is only possible because of those who did what had to be done when duty called … Our debt to them is eternal and it does not diminish with time; it only grows and grows and grows with each passing year. The greatest monument to their courage is not carved in marble or cast in bronze — it’s all around us, an American nation 325 million strong, which will soon be greater than it has ever been before.”
“Great poets have written that it’s love which moves the sun and the stars. But here on the sacred soil — right where we are — we’re reminded that it’s love which moves the course of history, and moves it always toward freedom. Always.”
“From Bunker Hill to Bastogne to Cantigny to Coral Sea, from Gettysburg to Guadalcanal, and Concord to Kabul, America’s best and America’s bravest have fought, bled, and died so that we could pick up the torch of liberty, raise it high, high, high, and carry it onward.”
“In every generation since, at Trenton and Yorktown, at Vicksburg and Shiloh, and in faraway places with names like Château-Thierry, Anzio, Iwo Jima, Khe Sanh, Kandahar … They plunged into the crucible of battle, stormed into the fires of hell, charged into the valley of death, and rose into the arms of angels.”

Carroll compared Sharia law to the Ten Commandments in the Bible. He said the controversy about Sharia law at EPIC City is based on stereotypes.: From here.
I think the problem stems from opposition of Sharia law with Christians.. If the Muslims in America would just denounce this; there would be no troubles between them and America. From what I have read; this has no chance of happening in our life time. I could be wrong.
"Muslims view Christians to be People of the Book, but may also regard them as committing shirk because of the doctrines of the Trinity and the Incarnation." Read from here.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_and_Islam "Shirk.: "It is considered to be the gravest sin in Islam." "those who commit shirk and plot against Islam—often refer to the enemies of Islam" Read here.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirk_(Islam) Shirk is apostacy.: "A man from among the Ansar accepted Islam, then he apostatized and went back to Shirk.'
From here.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirk_(Islam) What are the penalty's of apostacy under Islamic law?: "Apostasy from Islam is considered a hudud crime.[132] Both male and female apostates deserve the death penalty for leaving Islam, according to the traditional view of the Mālikī school.[130] Unlike other schools, the apostates must have a history of being "good" (i.e., practicing) Muslims.[3]" Read here.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostasy_in_Islam In contemporary times the majority of Islamic jurists still regard apostasy as a crime deserving the death penalty, Also from.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostasy_in_Islam

Every Girl Deserves a Childhood
Across Nigeria, young Christian girls are being abducted, forced into marriage, and pressured to convert to Islam. This petition calls on First Lady Oluremi Tinubu to stand up for these vulnerable girls and take action to protect their dignity, safety, and the right to live their Christian faith freely. At its core, it’s the right to just be a child.
These cases are not isolated. They are part of a systemic failure to protect the most vulnerable. Forced marriages and conversions violate international human rights and deeply wound entire communities.
A Message to the First Lady
As a mother, Christian, and national leader, Mrs. Tinubu has the platform and the power to speak out against this injustice. This petition urges her to:
Raise awareness through advocacy and media
Support legislative action to enforce protections for minors
Create a safe space for survivors
Partner with faith and civil society groups to amplify solutions
Add Your Name to the Petition
This is your chance to stand up for young Christian girls in Nigeria. Forcing a young girl into marriage and conversion to Islam undermines her fundamental right to education, self-determination, and personal dignity. It stifles her potential and strips her of the opportunity to live a life of freedom, peace, and purpose, as God intended.
Please pray for young Christian girls in Nigeria and around the world who face gross injustice through forced marriages and conversions, and pray that Mrs. Tinubu’s heart is open to receiving this petition and takes action. Sign Petition: https://www.persecution.org/take-action/petition/

As your constituent, I am writing to ask you to permanently increase the 1099-K reporting threshold and protect Americans from unnecessary IRS scrutiny. With the reconciliation bill heading to the Senate following passage in the House—which included full restoration of the 1099-K reporting threshold to $20,000 and 200 transactions—Senators now have a prime opportunity to continue this momentum.
Millions of Americans like me sell used items from around their house using online platforms. Unless Congress enacts a permanent, legislative fix that raises the 1099-K reporting threshold, Americans who casually sell online will receive confusing and unnecessary 1099-K tax forms for transactions for which there is no tax liability in the first place.
From prom dresses to old electronics to used sports equipment – if you sell even a single item for more than $600 dollars online, you’ll receive a tax form and will need to prove to the IRS that you did not make a profit. This policy change is currently slated to take effect January 1, 2026, absent Congressional action.
When many families are facing increasing costs at the grocery store or when paying their utility bills, Americans shouldn’t be forced to choose between making money on used goods to cover expenses, or facing the IRS.
We need a permanent, higher threshold for consumer sales of goods that makes sense and protects millions of Americans from overtaxation and unnecessary IRS scrutiny. Please protect consumers and increase the 1099-K reporting threshold in the upcoming tax package. : Click here.

This Parks and Recreation and King of the Hill Actor Was Murdered By a Neighbor Who Was Allegedly Yelling Homophobic Slurs. We Demand Justice for Jonathan Joss.
Jonathan Joss, best known for his roles on Parks and Recreation and King of the Hill, was shot and killed on Sunday, June 1st, 2025.
Joss' husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, alleges that for years, the couple endured harassment from neighbors in San Antonio, Texas that was rooted in homophobia.
Gonzales claims that some of this harassment came in the form of threats to burn the couples' house down. Their home was destroyed in a fire earlier this year; the cause of the fire is still undetermined.
Joss and Gonzales lost their two beloved dogs in the blaze.
On the day of the shooting, the couple had returned to the property to retrieve mail. According to Gonzales, they noticed one of their dog's skulls and harness displayed in plain sight — possibly laid out as a taunt or a threat. Upon seeing this, the couple became visibly and audibly upset, which led their neighbor to approach them.
Gonzales reported that Sigfredo Alvarez Cejam approached them, began "yelling violent homophobic slurs", and then raised a gun and fired it at the couple.
Joss was pronounced dead at the scene after he was shot multiple times.
Joss was a gay, Native American man living in San Antonio, Texas. Based on his husband's description of events, they both faced acute bigotry and abuse at the hands of their community. There seems to be clear indicators that Joss' murder could have been a hate crime.
The police must take this seriously. Both Native Americans and members of the LGBTQ+ community have a heightened risk of violence in the United States — and when that violence is in direct response to their racial, sexual, or gender identity, it is considered a hate crime.
The San Antonio police owe it to Jonathan Joss, and everybody in the United States, to seek true justice. If this was indeed a hate crime, it must be treated as such. We need to send a clear message that hate and violence will not be tolerated. Sign the petition to demand justice for Jonathan Joss!: Click to sign here.

9:36 AM CDT National Guard troops begin to arrive in LA
The California National Guard arrived in downtown Los Angeles early Sunday morning, stopping in front of the Hall of Justice next to city hall.
President Donald Trump signed a memorandum "deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen to address the lawlessness" in California as demonstrations opposing Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations continue in the state, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement Saturday. "In the wake of this violence, California's feckless Democrat leaders have completely abdicated their responsibility to protect their citizens," Leavitt said. "That is why President Trump has signed a Presidential Memorandum deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen to address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester," Leavitt said.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said authorities were seeking to identify people who threw rocks at law enforcement vehicles.
In a statement Saturday, ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons faulted local officials, including LA Mayor Karen Bass, and police for their response to the situation on Friday evening.
"What took place in Los Angeles yesterday was appalling," Lyons said. "As rioters attacked federal ICE and law enforcement officers on the LA streets, Mayor Bass took the side of chaos and lawlessness over law enforcement."
Lyons' statement went on to say: "Our brave officers were vastly outnumbered, as over 1,000 rioters surrounded and attacked a federal building. It took over two hours for the Los Angeles Police Department to respond, despite being called multiple times. The brave men and women of ICE were in Los Angeles arresting criminal illegal aliens including gang members, drug traffickers and those with a history of assault, cruelty to children, domestic violence, robbery, and smuggling.
Bass has condemned the ICE operations in her city. Read full article here.

WATCH: Trump accuses some Los Angeles protesters of being ‘paid insurrectionists’ Politics Jun 10, 2025 6:06 PM EDT President Donald Trump called some of the protests at anti-ICE demonstrations in Los Angeles “paid insurrectionists” and said the city would be “burning” had he not deployed the National Guard.
Speaking to reporters Tuesday in the Oval Office, he said “I could tell you there are certain areas of Los Angeles that you could have called it an insurrection. It was terrible, but these are paid insurrectionists. These are paid troublemakers,” Trump said.
“If we didn’t get involved, right now Los Angeles would be burning just like it was burning a number of months ago with all the houses that were lost. Los Angeles right now would be on fire, and we have it in great shape,” Trump said Read full article here.

I made this graphic today: out of disgust. By now you know how I feel about all this. I remember the Rodney King Riots when I live in California. I felt disgraceful to live in California; after all the love I felt when I first moved there around 1986; with my soon to be wife, I married on Big Bear Mountain. I was told by ZPig Skateboards that southern California would be a great place to move to; in the late 1980's. It sure was! Skateboarding and rebellion was in the air: in a good American way. We all loved it then. Now California just brings disgust to my mind; or is it all a trick by them all, to hog all those great beaches and perfect weather? Click here to see this graphic of my disgust.
Yes disgust is a good word for how I see these riots in my former home state of California. Disgust means.: a feeling of revulsion or strong disapproval aroused by something unpleasant or offensive. Also I would also use the word dismay, meaning : consternation and distress, typically that caused by something unexpected. I can tell you about a conversation I had with a black man in his 20's that was getting away from LA during the riots to where I was living on the central coast. I told him how I could not believe that a place that had so much love everywhere could be so cruel to one another. He said to me that they did not know what else they could do. My advice; is what I have always said.: What does the Bible say?
I also want to say that I am very upset about the increase of violence against LGBTQ people. This activity is very un-American and un-Biblical. Read here.

Abbott surges law enforcement resources ahead of scheduled anti-ICE protests More than 50 protests planned in Texas over weekend June 13th 2025
(The Center Square) – Gov. Greg Abbott has surged law enforcement resources statewide ahead of planned anti-immigration enforcement protests in Texas on Saturday to coincide with the 250-year anniversary of the U.S. Army. Read here.
In response to recent reports of protests planned for McKinney and Frisco on Saturday, June 14, the Collin County North Texas Fusion Center is in full operation and continues to monitor the developing situation.
While event organizers advertise the event as a nonviolent demonstration, recent rioting and violence in other large U.S. cities requires law enforcement officials to be prepared for all circumstances. The Collin County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) has been coordinating with local law enforcement entities and all necessary contingency plans are in place. Additionally, the CCSO and the Fusion Center will be evaluating and adjusting plans in real time as necessary.
"I support and defend the right of all citizens to gather and demonstrate peacefully," said Collin County Judge Chris Hill, "but we will have zero tolerance for violence against others, destruction of property, or other unlawful acts in Collin County. If bad actors break the law in our community, we will be ready and will respond appropriately." Read here.

In a shocking and inflammatory statement, Mexican Senate President Gerardo Fernández Noroña suggested that Mexico should reclaim large portions of U.S. territory, citing Spanish place names and the dominance of the Spanish language in cities like Los Angeles.

Trump says he will 'liberate' Los Angeles during speech recognizing Army's 250th birthday
Associated Press Jun 10, 2025
“We will not allow an American city to be invaded and conquered by a foreign enemy. That’s what they are," Trump said Tuesday.
The president called Los Angeles “a trash heap” with “entire neighborhoods under control” of criminals and said the federal government would ”use every asset at our disposal to quell the violence and restore law and order.”
“We will liberate Los Angeles and make it free, clean and safe again," Trump said.

“We will liberate Los Angeles and make it free, clean and safe again,” Trump said before troops on Tuesday. “It’s happening very quickly.”

I highlighted and bolded my favorite parts.
I am not just a writer; I am a reader, most of all. If it was not for what I read that I love most of all, I would never post anything; just like if it were not for art I love, I would never do art. I have a very great ability to remember what I read; too.
I did some work searching for this. I picked my favorite parts of this speech and posted it here.:
But I felt then, and believe even more so now, that my life was saved for a reason. I was saved by God to make America great again. Thank you. Thank you very much. That is why each day under our administration of American patriots, we will be working to meet every crisis with dignity, and power, and strength. We will move with purpose and speed to bring back hope, prosperity, safety, and peace for citizens of every race, religion, colour and creed.
For American citizens, 20 January, 2025, is Liberation Day. It is my hope that our recent presidential election will be remembered as the greatest and most consequential election in the history of our country. As our victory showed, the entire nation is rapidly unifying behind our agenda with dramatic increases in support from virtually every element of our society young and old, men and women, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, urban, suburban, rural.
Our armed forces will be free to focus on their sole mission: defeating America's enemies. Like in 2017, we will again build the strongest military the world has ever seen. We will measure our success not only by the battles we win but also by the wars that we end. And perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.
American ships are being severely overcharged and not treated fairly in any way, shape or form, and that includes the United States Navy, and above all, China is operating the Panama Canal. And we didn't give it to China. We gave it to Panama and we're taking it back.
Our American ancestors turned a small group of colonies on the edge of a vast continent into a mighty republic of the most extraordinary citizens on earth. No one comes close.
Americans pushed thousands of miles through a rugged land of untamed wilderness. They crossed deserts, scaled mountains, braved untold dangers, won the Wild West, ended slavery, rescued millions from tyranny, lifted billions from poverty, harnessed electricity, split the atom, launched mankind into the heavens and put the universe of human knowledge into the palm of the human hand.
I stand before you now as proof that you should never believe that something is impossible to do. In America, the impossible is what we do best. From New York to Los Angeles, from Philadelphia to Phoenix, from Chicago to Miami, from Houston to right here in Washington DC, our country was forged and built by the generations of patriots who gave everything they had for our rights and for our freedom.
They were farmers and soldiers, cowboys and factory workers, steelworkers and coal miners, police officers and pioneers who pushed onward, marched forward, and let no obstacle defeat their spirit or their pride.
Together they laid down the railroads, raised up the skyscrapers, built great highways, won two world wars, defeated fascism and communism, and triumphed over every single challenge that they faced. From here.

I am sorry but you get what you pay for Minnesota. When you hire a psycho on the edge of insanity; that's what you get. What do you expect when he turns on you? I have been saying online since 1999 on my Joe Dork website and till this day; that Minnesota should not be a state. It appears to me that Minnesota has been taken over by the enemies of our USA; many years ago. Yes Minnesota: that is one of the many reasons I voted republican this past election. Tim Walz as vice president? Look where Minnesota is. They are in the middle of nowhere in the freezing cold. What better place for our enemies to work at taking over. An that is my lead into this recent example of what the anti-American state of Minnesota has produced.:
Fact check: Gov. Walz's appointment of Minnesota lawmaker shootings suspect to advisory board
About six years ago, Boelter was appointed to the Minnesota Governor's Workforce Development Board by Democratic Gov. Tim Walz.
State records show Boelter served two consecutive three-year terms on the development board, first appointed by then-Gov. Mark Dayton in 2016. Three years later, Walz reappointed him.: Click here.

Vance Luther Boelter lists himself on LinkedIn as the CEO of the Red Lion Group, which is based in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
He also worked with Minnesota Africans United, a statewide organization working with African immigrants in the state, according to a now deleted biography on the group’s web site.
The suspect allegedly exchanged gunfire with the cops who responded to Hortman’s home and briefly cornered him inside — but he got away, and left behind a “manifesto” listing the names of 70 politicians, including Walz, and a stack of papers stating “No Kings” in reference to the nationwide anti-Trump protests Saturday, according to cops.: Click here.

Thank you for taking the time to share your views regarding America’s role on the world stage.
Every day, my Administration is proudly advancing policy that puts our citizens, our values, and our Nation first. When our country is strong, the world is safe—and Americans are secure, prosperous, and free, providing a new era of peace and prosperity worldwide.
On the first day of my term—to protect our Nation’s strength, safety, and success—I signed an Executive Order directing my Secretary of State to ensure that all policies, programs, personnel, and operations at the Department of State defend America’s interests and champion the needs of the American people. I also ordered an immediate 90-day pause on foreign aid so my Administration can ensure that every American tax dollar spent on foreign assistance advances our interests, reflects our values, and safeguards our security.
As President, I remain steadfastly committed to modernizing our military, bolstering our alliances, and improving our diplomatic capabilities. My Administration is working to restore our military readiness, purge the illegal and divisive DEI ideology from the ranks of our Armed Forces, and deploy a next-generation missile defense shield to protect our Nation.
Another critical part of defending America’s standing in the world is putting American workers, farmers, and businesses on a level playing field and eliminating our economic dependence on foreign countries. To achieve this goal, my Administration is prioritizing domestic production and balancing trade through the use of tariffs and increasing domestic manufacturing. For far too long, poorly negotiated trade deals have crippled American workers by allowing foreign nations to flood our markets with cheap goods while hollowing out our manufacturing base here at home. This great betrayal of our Nation is finally over—and American workers and manufacturers will soon be thriving and flourishing like never before.
As President, I will never stop fighting for the needs of our citizens and our homeland. Over are the days of war, poverty, and weakness—and I look forward to working together to usher in a new dawn of American safety, prosperity, and peace.
Thank you again for writing. May God bless you, and may He continue to bless the United States of America.
I left the manufacturing part blank because I never got into it. I had a girlfriend about 3 years before I met my wife; who was working for a big local manufacturing company. I had a interview type meeting with a bunch of dudes from there after dropping her off at her job and waiting for her to get off from work; a couple of times. These dudes from here manufacturing job made it clear to me that if I were to work there; it was not just some job, it was for life. I ended up breaking up with her after we dated a while and even talked about marriage. I knew if I ever decided to work for a manufacturer it would be for life and never forgot those conversations with those great Americans. I have and will always appreciate the manufacturing employees of out country; they are the backbone of our country.
Why progressive activists feel superior
20 February 2025, 2:09pm
Left-wing activists are less likely to understand or listen to people with conservative beliefs, compared to the rest of the population. They are more inclined to view them negatively, and to dismiss them as having ‘been misled’ in forming their opinions. This is the revelation on the front page of the Guardian today. Reporting on a study by the political group More in Common, it relates how the liberal-left are ‘out of step’ with most people in the country when it comes to cultural matters and immigration. When it comes to conservatives in particular, progressives are more prone to misunderstand them, criticise them and even refuse to campaign alongside them.: Click here.

From my email list of Keith Self.:
Iran must never become a nuclear power, and Israel has every right to defend itself against that existential threat. History has proven that Iran’s Supreme Leader cannot be trusted. As Iran continues to slow-roll negotiations, they are growing dangerously close to becoming a nuclear power. If intelligence confirms that Iran is actively pursuing a nuclear weapon, it is in our national interest to stop it by any means necessary.
While the conflict between Israel and Iran escalates, it is important to remain mindful of Iranian leadership's public threats to annihilate Israel, along with their chants of “death to America.” Israel's recent strikes were not only justified, but they were also a necessary step to weakening the regime and sending a clear message that they are better off negotiating than clinging to aspirations of becoming a nuclear military power.
For years, most of the world has been sending a clear message to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei: No Nukes. Now that Iran’s capabilities of enriching Uranium are nearing 90%, President Trump is sending an even stronger message: “Unconditional surrender.” The President has also made clear that any attacks on Americans will be met by swift, decisive action.
While Israel continues to strike military targets, Iran is hurling missiles and drones at Israel’s civilian population. My fear is that time may be running out on a peaceful solution, but my hope is that President Trump will prevail in finding one. Let us continue praying for the peace of Jerusalem and safety for the Iranian people.
For years, Democrats have sat back and ignored the clear and present danger Iran poses, not only to the Middle East but to the world. On President Donald Trump’s watch, America is standing firmly with Israel, while also advocating for the Iranian people to break the shackles of an oppressive regime. Keith
As Israel recovers the bodies of three more hostages, how many are still in Gaza? June 22, 202512:29 PM ET
Israel said Sunday that it has recovered the bodies of three more hostages taken in Hamas' Oct. 7 attack that ignited the ongoing 20-month war in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli military identified them as Yonatan Samerano, 21; Ofra Keidar, 70; and Shay Levinson, 19. All three were killed during the initial attack and their bodies were taken into Gaza. Kobi Samerano said in a Facebook post that his son's remains were returned on what would have been Yonatan's 23rd birthday.
The military did not provide details about the operation. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is committed to returning the remaining hostages even as it wages a new military campaign against Iran.
Hostages taken before the Oct. 7 attack: 4, including 2 who entered Gaza in 2014 and 2015 and the bodies of 2 soldiers killed in the 2014 war
Hostages released in exchanges or other deals: 148, of whom 8 were dead
Bodies of hostages retrieved by Israeli forces: 49
Hostages rescued alive: 8
Hostages still in captivity: 50, of whom Israel believes 27 are dead. Netanyahu has said there are "doubts" about the fate of several more.
The hostages in captivity include four non-Israelis: 2 Thais and 1 Tanzanian who have been confirmed dead, and a Nepalese captive. Read here.
