On September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk, Conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder A political activist, author, and media personality, was fatally shot while addressing an audience on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. A lot of the media was not very kind to him and his purpose in life. At a very young age he decided to try to help change the world or at least America. He started several organizations to help educate the college students about American History and our beilifs. He was very convincing to the point many of the political leaders say he helped get Trump elected because he believed that Trump was the one to make change.
In the past I did not know a lot about Charlie Kirk so I’m finding out more now. I saw him on FOX news but I did not know how selfless he was. He believed in God and so do I. He believed in debating young college students so they would examine their thoughts about politics instead of believing what they are told by their Professors! I am looking at who was he and what was. In the news I have heard different reporter. They called him… Continue reading

They have just killed a human being, a leader of youth “Charlie Kirk!”
They killed a leader in a sanctuary, “the College!”
They are attacking free speech!
They attack Christian beliefs!
The people behind this killer does not realize what they have done. They have poke the sleeping bear. The intelligent youths of America are on the march. YOUTHS in the millions are awake and on the move because Evil has killed their leader, To the killers inspirer, there will be a hundred leaders that will emerge all over the world. If they will quite listening to their professors and analyze what is going on …“the earth will tremble”. They are the future of America!
In college they do research and invent things that would go straight to China through their fellow student from another country. Chinese students have to swear to bring back our secrets or they will kill their family or torcher them. Most of the other country are as brutal. They will kill their people for little reason or none at all.
“WE ARE AT WAR WITH EVIL!”
They should not allow students to come here to get educated. They take our secrets back to their country and they use it against us! Screen students coming from other countries!
A lot of current great weapons were invented here and taken there under cloak and dagger!
WE NEED TO STOP IT!
Note: I am sending copies to Marion County Board and taxing authority, Governor DeSantis, Kat Cammack United States Representative
I have been on the same farm for 65 years. It was raw woods when we started out. Using a axe and an attic tractor we cleared and cleared for years by hand.I was the first house within a mile of pavement. To start out with Marion County did not clear any land for me. They did not put in a road for me. I live on a dirt road today and like it. Marion County is charging the maximum property taxes that they are allowed by law. There is 28.5% of Marion County voters are over 65. It would not be so bad if it was just property taxes. Marion County has to raise the taxes which raises the replacement value on your house / and property. When it comes to people who have lived here a long time and supported the taxes. It is not fair to leave them at the mercy of the GREEDY insurance companies. The replacement value should not be charged after so many years. They have been paying that for 20 or in my case 65 years without replacing it. Think about this the county valuing your property, the land with a house on it. If the house burns down the land is still there! But there value is based on your house and property.
We have been ripped off by the insurance companies for years. How about this??? “if a home owner does not have a claim in 2025. Give them a rebate!” HALF BACK!!
The mortgage company makes a decision about our escrow money and dispersing it to the insurance company and tax authority they some time choose! I’m not saying they all do that but it does happen. Continue reading
Last month I wrote Good or Evil? There is no question in my mind ”WE ARE IN A WAR AGAINST EVIL!” Just stand back fellow citizens of America and look at what is going on. A POLITICALLY MOTIVATED EVIL WAR! Politicians would rather give up children to destroy their enemy. What I thought use to be up standing citizens have lost their common sense and their reasoning power. They are letting hatred make decisions. Children are dyeing for no sane reason. We are turning our society into victims because of Hatred. Our family and friends are dealing with evil every day. We are letting mental illness go untreated. What is causing this? Look what parents are letting social bullying do! They are confusing the young into losing their gender Identity. Half of the human race is changing into monsters that kill for no reason.
Our previous administration let millions of criminals cross into our country unchecked. It was a planned attack on our country by our enemies. Their thought was to make them voting citizens. Trump and his Team stopped that so far, but they are using the population count to redistricting their state. Continue reading
