Commissioner Fricker 🇺🇸

Love this

The 2026 election season is here, let's go! facebook.com/share/r/1BGzsa…

This is disgusting but not new. The left has been avoiding flag waving and patriotism for a long time and this is just more of the same.

This postgame interview 🤣

Last month the Commission passed Platte County's 2026 budget, and my fourth budget as commissioner. After several years of rapidly increasing sales tax revenue growth, recent slowdowns in sales tax revenue growth meant that we to tighten our belts a little bit this year. Nevertheless, we were able to stick to our core budget principles. #1. Above all else, protect the taxpayers by making sure that Platte County remains fiscally strong. #2. Fully fund law enforcement agencies - subject to the constraints of #1 above. (The Sheriff's Office received an 11% budget increase over 2025 and the Prosecutor received an 8% budget increase over 2025.) #3. Keep taxes low. #4. Maintain the County's roads, bridges, and other critical infrastructure. #5. Maintain and expand the County's parks system. Mission Accomplished. Thanks for your support, Platte County and let's have another great year!

Zach Wagner from the Arizona Miracle league, came to bat with the game on the line, called his shot than hits the walk off. What legends are made of.

What?? I knew we were spending too much on salaries, but this is insane. Thanks for sharing!

Same thing with data centers. The economic development people justify massive tax breaks by claiming they will lead to all kinds of new economic growth, but there's no evidence to suggest that.

I have been monitoring the Venezuela issue all day long, and there are so many questions yet to be answered (thanks to great Pentagon OPSEC), but the strategic reason for bringing down Maduro has become abundantly clear. While we ostensibly captured Maduro based on legitimate, outstanding US drug charges from 2020, the real reason for the military operations early this morning is that neutralizing Maduro's Venezuela had become a strategic imperative for the USA. Under Maduro, Venezuela had become the Latin American crossroads for all of the USA's principal enemies. Maduro was nurturing relationships with Russia, Hezbollah and Iran. Worst of all, Venezuela was eagerly becoming a part of Red China's Belt & Road initiative. As America's enemies were lining up Venezuela as their base of operations in the Western Hemisphere to cause mischief and destruction for the USA, Maduro was at the same time making Venezuela a crossroads, safe haven and enabler for all manner of narcoterrorist operations, ranging from Colombia's FARC to Mexico's Sinaloa cartel. On top of all that, Venezuela had become a key player in the illegal alien invasion of the USA, shipping its very worst to the USA in a deliberate and comprehensive destabilizing operation that might have worked had Donald Trump not won in 2024. Next in importance: oil. The global and regional ambitions of both China and Russia are in large part dependent on the politics of petroleum, and the USA just deprived both of the cudgel afforded by friendly Venezuelan oil. Trump opponents say "It's about oil" as if that was a bad thing. Yeah, it's about oil. Finally, all of this was in keeping with the most essential and fundamental foreign policy mandate of the USA almost since the nation's inception: the Monroe Doctrine. Operations like what Maduro was running simply cannot be allowed in the Western Hemisphere. Trump was right for falling back on this most basic of doctrines that protects the USA's sovereignty. So was Maduro seized because of some five year-old drug charges? Yes. Legally--yes. However, like so many strategic issues in the world today, an action needed to be backed by the fine points of law, and it was. But the reality is that the Maduro takedown was a Monroe Doctrine-driven necessity that has greatly enhanced the power and national security of the USA. Congratulations, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth and the rest of the Trump national security team: you boldly took the steps necessary to defend the USA. Well done.

You can't afford another kid because childcare is so expensive—but Somali fraudsters got millions of your taxpayer dollars for child care centers that don’t exist. You can’t afford a home—but 100 Somalis spent millions of your taxpayer dollars on luxury properties. You’re paying $30K a year for terrible health care—while they got millions of your taxpayer dollars for health care centers they never opened. That's the Democratic elites in a nutshell: You come last. And if you object, they call you racist.

Yes please

I thought sales taxes were regressive.
