The Tax Court Is an Article I Legislative Court, Not an Article III Court The Seventh Amendment guarantees a jury trial in civil cases ("In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved"). This right applies primarily in Article III federal courts (U.S. District Courts, etc.). The U.S. Tax Court is an Article I court created by Congress under its power to "constitute Tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court" and to lay and collect taxes. Because it is not a full constitutional court with lifetime-tenured judges, the full Seventh Amendment jury right does NOT attach to proceedings there. Tax Cases Are Traditionally Treated as "Public Rights" Matters. The Supreme Court has long distinguished between: 1. Private rights (disputes between individuals, analogous to common-law claims like fraud or breach of contract) → Jury trial usually required. 2. Public rights (disputes involving the government exercising sovereign authority, such as tax assessment and collection) → Can be adjudicated without a jury, often in administrative or specialized tribunals. Tax disputes fall into the public rights category. The government is exercising its sovereign power to collect revenue, not acting like a private litigant. This doctrine goes back to 19th-century cases and allows Congress to route tax cases into non-jury forums like the Tax Court. No jury. The IRS on one side, and a tribunal that’s structurally tied to the same executive branch on the other. Extremely harsh prepayment rules if you want a real jury and a real judge. A system where missing a 30-day deadline can screw up your life for years. And on top of that, when people point out these structural problems, courts often just say “that’s how Congress designed it, too bad.” The current tax dispute system is, as distasteful as it may be, a pragmatic compromise that prioritizes government revenue collection and administrative efficiency over pure constitutional elegance. It was built that way on purpose. Congress wanted a fast, specialized, low-cost (for the government) way to resolve millions of tax cases without tying up real federal courts with juries. That design comes at the expense of some traditional due process protections. Justice Gorsuch basically said as much in his Zuch dissent. A lot of tax lawyers and scholars quietly agree the setup has real separation-of-powers issues but Congress did this to us and we did nothing about it. SOLUTIONS: 1. Congress can abolish the U.S. Tax Court relatively easily because it is a legislative (Article I) court created by statute, not a constitutional (Article III) court. 2. Pass the FairTax Act (H.R. 25) or similar, which would repeal the income tax and abolish the IRS entirely. If there’s no income tax, there’s little need for a Tax Court. 3. Dramatically simplify the tax code so very few disputes arise. OR (my fav) 4. Believe the Bible, support the Constitution and burn the rest to the ground because you cannot legislate morality.

Wow, the people are sharing out the tax remonstrance and showing their wisdom and understanding! God is doing a new thing and I wanna thank you guys for letting God use you to save this nation! You are heroes! Please sign here: form.jotform.com/261425153756054

The only hope is to overturn eminent domain completely. Unfortunately, most will only understand how horrific it is if they suffer the governments cruel and unfair practices. They say they pay “fair market value” but when the fair market value won’t buy you a comparable replacement home they don’t care. They say you have to get a new mortgage because they can’t pay you more of the taxpayers money. Yet the egregious overspending, fraud, theft and corruption are mind boggling. I’ve been told by the City of Baton Rouge that “a few must suffer for progress and the greater good of many.” How is this American? How did we as Americans allow lawyers, politicians, and corporations run roughshod over rightful law abiding landowners? This is what the City of Baton Rouge has done to hundreds of its own tax paying residents. Ohh and you won’t have any reputable attorney go against the government in an eminent domain case in this state. If you do, the judge will just keep it from going to trial. Even worse, I haven’t been able to live in my paid off home for 2 years from their damage and the judge said if I sue he’ll just attach it to Baton Rouge’s expropriation case (thus, it will never go anywhere). People wake up. Laws aren’t for you , they are for them to take from us and to control us. I pray you never have to learn the hard way. May God bless America and all who praise His holy name.

If you're a landowner, and your land is being targeted by any entity, whether state/local/energy company, etc...Fill out a detailed report at USDA.Gov/lawfare There is a team looking at every report to determine what can be done. We must protect American farm/ranch land.

@WesleyHuntTX Wow...Pure integrity and exceptional character... this is exceedingly rare in today's society. No games. No race baiting. No nonsense. This is a man. This is a leader.

Here’s how you flip a “gotcha” question on race into reality: Americans don’t want quotas. They don’t want optics. They want results. The kind of representation this country actually demands is simple: QUALIFIED.

You don't need to spray Roundup for "vegetation management." You need goats. Side effects include cuteness, shenanigans, enhanced soil biology, and spontaneous barbeques in cases of excess shenanigans. Utilities should be hiring shepherds not spray planes.

Did you know C.S. Lewis predicted the modern obsession with “being nice” would destroy the soul? In The Abolition of Man, Lewis argues that when a society stops believing in objective virtue, it doesn’t become tolerant… it becomes manipulable. He calls the result “men without chests.” People with appetites and intellects, but no courage, no honor, no trained moral instincts. They can calculate everything and defend nothing. Lewis saw that once we reject inherited moral law, we don’t become free. We become raw material… easily shaped by propaganda, pleasure, and fear. Modern man prides himself on compassion while quietly surrendering every standard that once gave compassion meaning. Lewis’s insight is brutal: a civilization that educates clever cowards will eventually be ruled by tyrants or technicians. Because when nothing is worth dying for, everything becomes negotiable… including human dignity.

I saw a video of a woman cleaning her home that said something powerful: “I’m taking care of what God has already given me so He knows I’ll appreciate what’s coming next.” That really stuck with me. Sometimes the blessing isn’t about getting more… it’s about how well you take care of what you already have. Gratitude, stewardship, and appreciation open the door for even greater things. 💫

@ZeekArkham He is still your friend, so pray for God to open his eyes and reveal truth to his heart and mind. For him to throw away 20 yrs over opinions/politics is so sad…. sending you a big hug!🤗

Had a friend I’ve known for almost twenty years call me this morning. He found this account and my IG. Cursed me out, called me a “coon,” said he doesn’t f**k with “MAGA supporters,” and told me not to ever contact him again. I hadn’t even had my coffee yet… like, bruh… let me at least be awake for this. You’re this level of mad before breakfast? When I started speaking up years ago, I knew I was going against the grain. I knew I’d lose friends. I knew I’d lose family. Unfortunately, tribalism and cult-brain are rampant on the other side, especially amongst black folks. Oh well… sucks, but I’m not going to stop being who I am. On to the next one.

@Protestia Bruh, that ain’t the Holy Spirit!

'Pastor' Stephen Dela Cruz, who co-founded a church with his wife she was an active porn star (incorporating that detail into their promos) preached a sermon called "Doggy Style" where he make this stupid point.

@MrsEthanBrooks Your husband is wonderful, so I’m betting you’re a pretty amazing lady!

You have no idea what it's like to be married to him.

People say I’m the villain for calling out the James Talarico heretical claims. Then I’ll be the villain. I’m happy to spend the next few months knee deep in your cries of “fact check.” Let’s get started. FACT CHECK: The Claim that “God is Nonbinary” Texas State Representative James Talarico said the following during debate on transgender legislation in the Texas House in 2021: “God is nonbinary.” He LATER clarified that he meant God transcends human gender categories. Christians should approach statements like this carefully, not politically, but biblically. Scripture actually gives us very clear language about how God reveals Himself. Jesus consistently refers to God as Father. Matthew 6:9 “Pray then like this: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.” John 20:17 “I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.” The Son reveals the Father. This is not cultural language. It is revelation language Throughout Scripture, God chooses personal, relational language that reflects fatherhood, authority, provision, and covenant. Isaiah 64:8 “Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter.” This does not mean God is biologically male. Christianity has never taught that. God is spirit (John 4:24). But it does mean God Himself chose how He would be revealed anthropomorphically. God is not a physical being like humans. He is eternal, immaterial, and uncreated. So in that sense, God is not “male” the way humans are male. However, the critical issue is how God chose to reveal Himself personally. The language He consistently used was Father. Talarico was using progressive liberal ideology to make a theological point on a modern topic. When modern ideology replaces that revealed language with categories like “nonbinary,” it is not clarifying Scripture, but reframing God according to modern cultural categories. Christians should be cautious anytime theology starts moving in that direction with its language. The question is simple: Do we allow culture to redefine God, or do we allow God to define Himself through Scripture? Talarico knew the point he was making. Historic Christianity has always answered the question the same way. So when Scripture uses the language of Father, it is not merely symbolic. It describes eternal relationships within the Godhead. This is why Jesus constantly refers to: “My Father” “Your Father” “The Father who sent me” The Gospel of John alone records Jesus referring to the Father over 100 times. This is not accidental language. It is theological revelation. Now, Scripture also affirms that God possesses qualities humans often associate with both paternal and maternal care. For example: Isaiah 66:13 “As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you.” But notice the difference. Scripture sometimes compares God’s care to a mother’s compassion, but God still identifies Himself as Father. These are descriptions of God’s attributes, not redefinitions of God’s identity. The danger arises when modern cultural frameworks attempt to replace revealed language with contemporary ideological categories. The term “nonbinary” is a modern concept rooted in contemporary gender theory. It does not come from Scripture or classical Christian theology. God has already revealed who He is.

Seven marks of a husband who leads well: 1. Initiates prayer 2. Repents quickly 3. Protects emotionally and spiritually 4. Teaches Scripture 5. Works diligently 6. Loves sacrificially 7. Fears God more than culture

Let’s do the math here. A working mom’s kids wake up at 5:30am. They leave for daycare at 6:30. Mom then gets to work at 7:30a. Works til 4:30p. Picks baby up from daycare at 5p. They get home at 5:30p. Dinner at 6p. Bath at 6:30p. Bedtime at 7p. So a solid… 1 hour of chaotic getting ready to leave in the morning, plus 1.5hrs at night while cooking dinner when mom is exhausted. Wow. Amazing time, attention & connection. Contrast that with a homeschool mom who probably cosleeps… With her kids all night… all morning… all afternoon… all evening. Does school with them. Cooks with them. Plays with them. All day. Not adequate time together compared to “working moms?” LOL. Why is it that feminists who claim to be about “women’s choice” are always without fail derogatory, rude, judgmental and nasty when a woman makes a choice the feminist doesn’t want her to make? Because feminism teaches women to hate womanhoood, hate babies, and hate motherhood. Sad.

When a man marries, his wife becomes his standard of beauty. Not Instagram. Not p*rn. Not the world. Not his memories. Her. Her smile. Her shape. Her laugh. Her heart. God didn't call you to compare. He called you to cherish. Be a husband who reflects Christ's love for His bride.

The foundation into which all theological truth is distilled is this: God has spoken. Doctrine does not rest on tradition, personality, experience, or consensus. It rests on divine revelation. “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16). If God has said it, that settles the matter, whether it comforts or confronts us. Faith itself is anchored in what God has spoken, not in what we feel. “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17). Theology is not speculation about God. It is submission to what He has revealed. In the end, the authority behind every true doctrine is not a system, but the simple and unshakable reality that God has said it.

I’m so TIRED OF THIS Stop 🛑 Stop it The same Bible that slaveholders twisted was the Bible that empowered Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, and countless Black preachers to fight for liberation. Enslaved Africans did not embrace Christianity because of the whip. They embraced Christ because they saw in Him a suffering Savior who identified with their chains. There is a difference between Christ and corrupt men. There is a difference between doctrine and distortion. There is a difference between the Cross and the rope. If someone commits evil while claiming Christ, they are condemned by the very Book they claim to follow. The hypocrisy of men does not invalidate the person of Jesus. Blaming Jesus for the sins of racists is like blaming the Constitution for politicians who violate it. It confuses principle with abuse of principle. History is complex. But the objective record shows this: Christianity has been both misused by oppressors and used as the moral foundation to overthrow oppression. The Cross is not the problem. Sin is. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

Very interesting video! Our founding fathers had it figured out!

Republicans won’t save America. Conservatives won’t save America. Saving America will require a caliber of Christian men we have not seen in over a century. Men of such conviction that scarecrow terms like “racist,” “bigot,” or “misogynist” do not faze them. They will be men that most modern Christians will despise and reject. They will be like the prophets of old—misunderstood and reviled in their day but vindicated by history.

Here’s what’s insane… Their empathy is intact but it has been redirected entirely toward the in-group. The out-group is placed outside the circle of moral concern. Once that happens, killing can feel not only justified but obligatory, even sacred. The belief is not a logical error in the abstract; it is a predictable outcome of how human minds handle tribalism, authority, fear, and the search for transcendent meaning. Where we go from here - There is no greater love and hope than found in our Lord Jesus Christ and the sufficiency of His Word. “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” Romans 15:13

I am slowly coming to terms with the horrifying fact that an absolutely MASSIVE group of people in this country believe that the appropriate response to people they disagree with, is murder. I do not know where we go from here.

None of this makes him a Man ,We Can drive Nice Cars ,Get tattoos,Own Guns. ✝️✝️🕊️🕊️♥️♥️
