True School Choice Is Eliminating Property Taxes - Sherrie Conley

In this ROPE Report Short, our guest for Wednesday, June 26th, Oklahoma Representative Sherrie Conley and Jenni White talk about what really makes "school choice". Is it the government giving people taxpayer dollars to privately school their kids (vouchers), or is it the government allowing taxpayers to have our property without property taxes (Ad Valorem) so that taxpayers could help pay to educate their own children? This led to a bit more discussion on taxation...

The video in its entirety (recorded live on the 26th) can be found on our Rumble and YouTube channels.

We're Moving Away From A Rights-Based Society - Julianne Romanello; ROPE Report Short

Wednesday morning (4.10.23), Julianne, Jenni and Michael talked about how American society is moving from a rights-based society - where the government protects our rights as described in the Constitution - to a values-based society - where the government is more interested in taxing the property of citizens to provide entertainment and establishing public/private partnerships to create jobs, than protecting our property and private businesses. 

Though Klaus Schwab never actually said, "You'll own nothing and be happy", the World Economic Forum (WEF) has stated enough of their goals for the "Great Reset" to make any genuine thinker nervous about that kind of idea. All one has to do is make note of a giant amusement park in little Vinita, Oklahoma, and the fact that people were displaced from their property (annexed) on little more than an estimation that the city will receive in excess of 70 million in tax revenue thanks to the park. 

Then consider the Oklahoma City MAPS tax that built a stadium (The Ford Center/Paycom Center) which is now no longer considered big enough so that Oklahoma City tax payers were propagandized into voting for yet another tax to build yet another new stadium. 

Isn't it the government's job to protect the 'fruits of our labor', so that we may use it how we see fit, not provide us endless entertainment opportunities that only enrich the owners while charging those who can, often, ill-afford the price of tickets? 

Isn't it the job of PRIVATE owners and developers to take on the risk - as well as the reward - of creating large entertainment/business projects? How did that become the taxpayers burden to bear? 

We must decide; do we want to own nothing (via excessive taxation) and be endlessly entertained, or do we want to privately own those things we have privately worked to own?

Larry White, Executive Director Of The Oklahoma Metropolitan Library Commission Responds To Taxpayer Criticism Of Pride Month

Dr. Larry White, Executive Director of the Metropolitan Library System, responded to my recent criticism of the MLS' celebration of Pride Month sent via contact form at the MLS website, with a very long and what appeared to be 'canned' response.

I say 'canned' response because a friend who also sent an email via the contact form, received virtually the same email as I, though with a twist.  Attached to her email was the following photograph:

I copied and pasted the email in its entirety below.  Under each paragraph I have responded in red. I felt this important because I thought it might help people understand why using tax-supported programs to advance agendas like BLM, or LGBTQ is wrong.
