I have heard & read many tax payers complaining online about Marion County Taxes affecting their monthly payments on their Mortgage. (Especially the elderly. The area was from Rainbow Springs, OTOW, Lake Tropicana Estates, Rainbow Lakes estates, Rainbows Inn, Marion Oaks and several others in Ocala along 200. When the county raises the taxes it raises the value of their home then the insurance Company can raise their prices, leaving the home owners at the mercy of the insurance Company’s and maybe the mortgage company. Go online and look at the fore closers in Marion. Marion County is going to be named the most expensive county to live in Florida. When you call the county says you if you make less than a curtain amount per year you can apply. NO it should be the Insurance Company’s should give the people over 65 a rebate at the end of the year to help pay the taxes the county just raised again! Please Marion County Board of Directors, read the letter I sent you, or did it go into the trash that we have to pay for.

From information on news media of all kinds! Gathered by TomL

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 →

I love the terms “Forward Momentum”  “What’s Next?” “Moving Forward” “Fast Forward” it is a mind set for all businesses and Social media. I think we need to keep in mind to help others in our daily lives and they will help you back. I can’t do every request but I will try to do as many as I can.

Putin won’t be happy until he owns Ukraine. The countries around him are going to fight! Maybe he will get the idea, maybe he won’t mean while more of his people and Ukraines people will die. They can win against Putin if they stick together unless China gets involved. Then I think we will get involved and the escalation is very dangerous. Remember China want’s Russia’s land so Russia better be careful.

——————–

Where is all this going to stop. The fighting by position’s is making our country look like fools. Some of the things the Dem’s in. My opinion they want to side with the criminals then let into this country. Dems grow up! Do what is good for your voter. The Democratic voters don’t want to vote for a communist or a fool that let his state burn. The coast line is just a burnt mess and he is not helping the people who pay him. He is not a good Governor! The Dem’s are trying to make illegals voters by Hook or by Crook! We will have to make sure people who are here illegally cannot  vote. They do NOT have RIGHTS as per our constitution! They are criminals by invading our country.

Education Is For All Students!

Going back to the Presidents who made change in the school education system. The last eight presidents slowly made it worse until now and as we reform the system we see that we need to go back to where we were at many years ago. Basic education! We got to where the teachers were teaching the test that they rate the teachers pay and retention on. It is not the teachers fault, that is what the Department of Education has driven them too. I believe the state should draw up their own rules on education and equalize the amount spent. Right now they spend more money on sports. Sports event can hold their own they money at the gate and should share it with the cheerleaders and the band on their uniforms and travel to the games.

Education For All!

Today we are spending more and rating last in education. We need reform! Students need reading first because as they learn they have to read information. I think writing is part of reading. Today many people are typing and that’s OK. They also need to write some and be good at least simple math. I corresponded with a couple of smart people and they was using short form language on the tex, I did not understand half of  what he said. He was not using words! U for you Y for why and etc. It becomes confusing.   Continue reading →

What category you think you are?

In my opinion evil is those who create unrest by using the un-informed. There are some people out there who you can be told anything that is not true and they will believe it is! They will get fired up and do things they would not normally do. We need to inform the ill-informed people the truth. Not sure how to do that when they are living on the streets, or receiving a check for groceries but they must contribute. They actually take pictures of themselves rioting so they can prove they were there and can receive a check.

Evil is also the rich that take advantage of a tragedy. The Texas flood was a un-natural disaster and there are people trying to blame Trump for cutting down on weather employees.. Or blaming the weather bureau for not advising the public about the possibility of flood. They did tell the people but the ones that heard it did not understand the possibilities. Continue reading →

I’m not against change, but why change something that’s not broken? I like Cracker Barrel the way it is and I am going to experience the change and will report back if the changes are good for me! They have a good shrimp dinner / lunch not to expensive good to my taste buds and they are usually full at lunch time. I have shopped in the country store and bought Christmas gifts I could not find any where else. For instance one year I bought small hurricane oil lamps. When we have outages I have a number of oil lamp light. So we can walk about the house without falling. Always be ready. There were some great toys for the children. Clothes available also, mostly tourist stuff.

Well the Republicans are getting it done. I would like to point out this tariff problem is something that needed done, but not without resistance.  The Brits and a few other country’s think they have a better way. So they are trying to build a trade alliance with others but without us.  It has not been fair that all these countries have been importing into our country free and charge us when we export to their country. Trump is negotiating hard, it is going slow but it will happen. To slow for me I can’t wait.

I notice that Trump is always fiscally  leaning in, never leaning back in comfort and is always listening. People seem to respond to that. People need to be listened to, some of the strongest people I have know are good listeners.

In this high speed world you need people around you can trust and that can keep you informed and help with challenges. I  recently had a challenge when lightening struck in my front yard. It wiped out my security light, Satellite system, Wifi, computer, printer. I had a problem, as I worked my way through this challenge,I needed to recover some information off my old computer. I called Tech Brothers Ocala Florida hwy 200. I took my computer in and they said they were optimistic about the recovery. The price was not bad and recovery was important. They got it for me fast. They fixed it high speed in this high speed world. Thank you Tech Brothers for the well done job. Tell them TomL sent you. Continue reading →
