So let me get this straight… During COVID, government imposed eviction moratoriums across cities and states. A lot of Americans still do not understand what that actually meant. It did NOT mean government paid everybody’s rent. It meant landlords were often legally blocked from removing tenants for nonpayment. But the landlord’s obligations NEVER stopped. Mortgage? Still due. Property taxes? Still due. Insurance? Still due. Water bills? Still due. Heating systems? Still due. Repairs? Still due. Code violations? Still due. So imagine a small Black landlord in a struggling neighborhood with a duplex or triple they worked decades to buy. Tenants stop paying for months… sometimes years. Meanwhile inflation explodes. Material costs explode. Insurance spikes. Taxes rise. Savings disappear. That owner drains retirement accounts and maxes out credit cards just trying to survive while politicians stand behind podiums pretending compassion costs nothing. Then comes the final insult. Buildings deteriorate because cash flow collapsed… and now politicians like Zohran Mamdani point at the deterioration THEY helped create and say: “Negligent landlord.” “Take the building.” “Transfer ownership.” So government creates the financial hemorrhage… then blames the wounded for bleeding. The wealthy corporate developers survive. Massive investment firms survive. Politically connected nonprofits survive. But the working class landlord? The old Black couple trying to leave property to their children? The immigrant family that scraped together enough for 6 units? The retired tradesman depending on rental income? CRUSHED. And Americans better wake up to what this really means. Because once government decides “neglect” justifies control… the definition of neglect expands every year. Today it is deferred maintenance. Tomorrow it becomes “underutilized property.” Then “community necessity.” Then “housing equity.” That road always ends with less private ownership and more centralized control. You do not save neighborhoods by destroying the people who stayed invested in them. You do not stabilize cities by terrifying small property owners. And you absolutely do not rebuild Black wealth by making ownership itself politically dangerous. Watch carefully. The people who suffered under the moratoriums are now being portrayed as villains for surviving the policies imposed on them. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

Every single Republican. Every single Democrat. Every single person should have a problem with the government seizing someone’s land.

Let's understand a few things about what's actually about to happen here if Zohran gets his way -- which he almost certainly will, unless courts intervene. First and foremost, Cea Weaver and DSA 'organizers' will be unleashed with the full institutional and legal support of the city government to ramp up tenant complaints in targeted buildings. No complaint will be too small. No building will be too small. Everything will be treated as catastrophic. Full-scale demagoguery will ensue, complete with protests, rent strikes, street theater, and harassment of property owners. Accordingly, the city buildings department will be weaponized to begin writing as many violations as possible in order to bolster the city's effort to justify a seizure. It won't matter how small or large the violations are, the total number will be breathlessly cited as evidence of mismanagement. It will be impossible for landlords to clear these violations in good faith. The combination of a weaponized buildings department writing hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines, rent strikes, and constant threats and harassment against landlords by militant activists will make the situation untenable for any property owner to realistically fight back, and the city will seize the property. The landlord will be lucky to walk away without prison or being beaten to death in the street by an angry mob (as Zohran's buddy Hasan Piker referred to landlords -- 'let the streets run red with their capitalist blood'). But that's only the first half of the plan, and everyone needs to pay very close attention to the big picture here, because it's hugely important and has national implications. The properties will then be turned over to nonprofits. This is no small detail. This is in fact the whole point. The idea here is to build up Zohran's DSA-connected nonprofits with a multbillion-dollar portfolio of hard assets -- New York City real estate. This portfolio could theoretically reach into the hundreds of billions or even the trillions, depending on how aggressive they get. Now these highly political nonprofits would become the new land barons of New York, complete with all the political clout, leverage, and reach that goes along with it. It would be a true nightmare scenario. As it stands now, the nonprofits depend mostly on the largesse of grants, donations, and other third-party resources to stay afloat. They are lavishly funded of course, and many do hold significant assets, but it would all pale in comparison to simply handing them the keys to a New York City real estate empire, courtesy of Zohran Mamdani and the DSA. The resources at their disposal would be immense. The organizing potential that goes along with those resources will have national implications. Every DSA candidate in every town and city in the country would be trained, funded, and staffed by organizers with ties to the NYC nonprofit empire backed by a trillion dollars in free real estate. And they would be shameless in leveraging those resources for pure political power. That's the game plan here. That's the whole ball of wax. Zohran isn't interested in making housing better for anyone. If he was, we'd be talking seriously about solving the NYCHA disaster. Hell, if he was even remotely sincere about seizing these properties from 'bad landlords' for the 'public good' he'd be focused on turning them over to the city itself, as misguided as that would be. No, this is about nothing more than consolidating political power for the DSA. Just like everything else these people do. Giving the DSA a massive war chest backed by seized real estate. Once you understand that they have no interest in fixing anything other than elections, it all makes a lot more sense.

NOW: Mamdani says his admin will transfer ownership from bad landlords to non-profits. “For buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards that include community land trusts, non-profits, or even the tenants themselves.”

Not gonna lie, the last few weeks have felt like I'm banging my head against a wall. It's time for the 80% to say it out loud: men cannot become women. Ever. You know it. Say it. We need you (mostly silent) 80%. We will win - truth outs in the end - but we need you.

I've been a libertarian since I was 19. Thomas Massie was my literal north star of politicians for over a decade. What changed? My understanding of money and capital flows. The more I learned the more his grift became obvious. I'm also no longer a libertarian. It's a neat rhetoric but addresses nothing. This is my research below using an AI framework I built and operate. How Thomas Massie’s votes during Trump 2.0 directly harmed his Kentucky 4th District constituents: Voted against Trump’s major tax and spending package (“One Big Beautiful Bill”): Massie’s spin: “I won’t vote for bloated spending and more debt. Principles over party." This bill contained critical tax relief, domestic manufacturing credits, and energy production incentives. Northern Kentucky’s manufacturing and logistics hubs in Boone, Kenton, and Campbell counties (Hebron, Erlanger, Covington) would have directly benefited from reshoring and job growth in auto parts, aerospace components, and advanced manufacturing. Opposed Trump’s tariffs on China and adversarial nations: Massie’s spin: “Tariffs are taxes on Americans. Free markets and free trade are the answers.” Kentucky’s steel, aluminum, and auto parts suppliers along the Ohio River and I-75 corridor were getting crushed by Chinese dumping. His repeated “no” votes kept the globalist offshoring incentive alive, directly threatening factories and blue-collar jobs in Gallatin, Carroll, and Boone counties. Sponsored War Powers Resolution to restrict Trump’s Iran actions: Massie’s spin: “Congress must check executive war powers. No more endless wars.” Northern Kentucky has major logistics, trucking, and fuel distribution tied to stable energy prices. Weakening leverage on Iran prolonged supply chain risk and higher diesel/fertilizer costs for local manufacturers and farmers in his district. Voted against key industrial policy and DPA 303 reshoring measures: Massie’s spin: “Government picking winners and losers is cronyism. I support small government.” The 4th District has strong potential in advanced manufacturing and critical minerals. Blocking these tools delayed job creation in economically depressed areas like Grant and Pendleton counties that lost factories during the globalist offshoring wave. Opposed major border security funding in appropriations bills: Massie’s spin: “I won’t support bloated omnibus bills with waste.” Construction, meatpacking, and service industries in Kenton and Campbell counties face direct wage suppression from illegal immigration. His resistance prolonged downward pressure on working-class wages in his own backyard. Voted against foreign aid packages tied to bilateral energy and security deals: Massie’s spin: “We shouldn’t be the world’s policeman. America First means no foreign entanglements.” These packages supported alliances that stabilize energy flows. Kentucky’s agricultural exporters (bourbon, soybeans, tobacco) and energy-dependent manufacturers needed reliable trade routes. His votes undermined the bilateral architecture that would have given Kentucky producers better market access. Blocked government funding bills containing America First priorities: Massie’s spin: “I refuse to vote for continuing resolutions that kick the can down the road.” These bills included tariff enforcement funding, domestic energy production, and manufacturing tax credits. His obstruction delayed practical help for the I-75 manufacturing corridor and Ohio River industrial towns in his district. Bottom line: Massie consistently wrapped globalist-friendly votes in libertarian rhetoric. He knew the data on offshoring damage and energy vulnerability in Northern Kentucky, yet chose ideological purity over policies that would have delivered real jobs, higher wages, and economic security to his constituents.

@UziCryptoo Unrealized gains are unfair period. Taking money because someone has more of it is an unreasonable argument

Uzi@UziCryptoo·
You can't tax rich people on unrealized gains from stocks because "it's not real money until it's sold." So explain to me why my property taxes keep going up based on the unrealized value of my house? I didn't sell it. I didn't cash out. I didn't make a profit. But somehow I'm paying taxes on paper gains every single year. Interesting how "unrealized gains" only become a problem when wealthy folks are involved.

@NYCMayor I know a few teachers and New Yorkers who would benefit from less waste and fraud in the government. Why not cut waste, fraud, and abuse before taxing anyone more? A homeless person in NYC receives more funding than the salary of a single mom working a 9-5, maybe start there.

🚨 WOW! Mark Cuban — who opposed Trump in 2024 — just gave a GLOWING ENDORSEMENT of 47 and TrumpRx "This is a SPECIAL partnership. 559 [of 600] of the new drugs are OURS!" "Together, we're gonna make something special." "Other than you, I've been the biggest proponent of TrumpRx." Trump is TEAMING UP with Mark Cuban to give low-price Pharma drugs to Americans who need it! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

If we didn’t give it so much money and power, the government couldn’t manipulate us as much. That’s why we need the Constitution. Time for a constitutional reboot.

Ken Paxton is right. You aren’t even running on your 24 years in the Senate because you can’t: 🚩 You voted for red flag laws 🚩 You advocated for amnesty 🚩 You support deportation *relief* 🚩 You said the wall is “off-putting” You’ve fooled us for 24 years — enough is enough.

The idea of freedom of speech or knowing who your neighbor is does not make you far right or dangerous. It means you have common sense. The fear and tactic of being called a racist or Islamophobic has cost our countries too much Enough is enough.
