..But know that when said deportations do come to an end so too will the monies being spent to feed, house, clothe, educate, and medically take care of those who had no business coming here in the first place. A good thing indeed for the monies spent on those crossing our border illegally can now, if properly managed, be returned to the American people, most especially our seniors and our military veterans who seem to get the monetary shaft every time there is a “monetary crisis.”

Simply, a “monetary crisis“ was what we had been facing when Joe Biden was in office, what with the federal government giving out more dollars and cents than it took in. But now with DOGE exposing what is a truly massive amount of governmental monetary waste, the only fair thing to do is take the monies that will be saved when the deportations are complete and either put those monies back into the programs that saw Biden putting American citizens last or simply give it back to we taxpayers...call it “personal stimulus checks“ if need be. But either way a fair amount of those saved monies should also be used to aid our veterans in need for it's shameful that there are close to 33,000 homeless veterans in our country today...veterans who served our country well. It's way past time that the federal government...as well as state and local governments...start spending more monetarily to help serve our veterans and their needs instead of serving those who...and I cannot say this enough...should never have been allowed to come here in the first place...

Clarence Thomas Slams Supreme Court for Rejecting Pro-Life Free Speech Case 

Sarah Arnold / Townhall Tipsheet 

 

Conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas expressed strong criticism after the highest court declined to hear a case involving pro-life activists and their free speech rights. In a rare public statement, Thomas condemned the decision, arguing that the Court's refusal to consider the case undermines fundamental First Amendment protections. The case in question involved activists challenging restrictions on their ability to express anti-abortion views, a matter Thomas believes the Court should have addressed to safeguard free speech amid increasing government regulations.

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear two cases involving pro-life groups who challenged laws banning protests near abortion clinics. The Court rejected appeals from Coalition Life, or the "America's Largest Professional Sidewalk Counseling Organization," in New Jersey and Illinois. Both had appealed lower court rulings that dismissed their lawsuits. They argued that "buffer zones,” which were set in place after a previous Supreme Court decision in Colorado, keep patients from facing harassment. Read more here.

Florida Eyes Property Tax Cuts to Ease Burden on Homeowners

Sarah Arnold / Townhall Tipsheet 

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) supports the Florida legislature’s plan to eliminate property taxes. If carried out, the proposal would make Florida the first state in the United States without property taxes, a prospect that has already drawn strong reactions from both supporters and opponents.  

At a press conference on Monday, DeSantis emphasized that many individuals find it challenging to afford property taxes, much less the expenses associated with buying a home and the land it occupies. He argues that taxing land and property is an unjust and inefficient method of taxation.

“You buy a home, you buy land... and then, you've been taxed many times [on that]... is it your property, or not? Just for being on your property, you've got to write a check to the government every year?” DeSantis asked. 

According to CoreLogic data, Florida's median property tax in 2024 was $3,101, a 9.5 percent increase from last year and up 47.5 percent from 2019. Read more, see X and video here.
