Red State Voters To Decide Future On Income Tax

Missouri voters head to the polls on Tuesday to determine if the state will repeal its individual income tax. If voters pass Amendment 5, Missouri would become the 10th state without an income tax. The amendment asks voters to require the state legislature to gradually reduce the state income tax rate, with the goal of eliminating it by 2032. “Amendment 5 is a tax-cut amendment, placing taxpayer protections in the Missouri Constitution instead of relying on political promises,” Gov. Mike Kehoe said last month. “The Constitution—not politicians—sets the rules. A YES vote means Missouri workers win by keeping more of what they earn,” he added.

A YES vote means Missouri workers win by keeping more of what they earn. pic.twitter.com/qUrTjKCiTJ — Governor Mike Kehoe (@GovMikeKehoe) July 23, 2026 More from the Missouri Independent: A yes vote will allow a broad sales tax on all goods and services to make up for the loss in revenue. This would repeal limits currently in place on such taxation. The state’s sales tax is 4.225%. Gov. Mike Kehoe has suggested exemptions for healthcare, agriculture and real estate; the legislation passed by the House included no language for such exemptions. The resolution’s sponsor, state Rep. Bishop Davidson, a Republican from Republic, noted the amendment that voters will consider does not mandate that the state make any changes to a sales tax. However, the Missouri budget must be balanced, so the loss in income tax revenue must be made up elsewhere. Proponents of the resolution often compare Missouri to other states with no state income tax. Although a majority of these states rely on sales tax, their tax structures can vary drastically depending on different industries present, constitutional provisions or recent policy changes. “The truth about Amendment 5. There’s been a lot of misinformation about what Amendment 5 actually does,” the Missouri GOP stated. According to the Missouri GOP, the amendment includes constitutional protections that: Protect your income from ever being taxed by the State of Missouri again once the income tax is eliminated. Grant taxpayers protections over the next five years so the Missouri Legislature cannot expand annual revenues in a way that enlarges the tax burden. Require local tax rates to be reduced if the sales tax base is broadened. Protect funding for Missouri’s local public schools. Require the State Auditor to calculate new, reduced tax rates after legislation reducing or eliminating the income tax is enacted. The truth about Amendment 5.

The amendment includes constitutional protections that: Protect your income from ever being taxed by the State of Missouri again once the income tax is eliminated. … pic.twitter.com/dwFfn4PQ7F — Missouri GOP (@MissouriGOP) August 3, 2026 KCUR shared examples of what other states without an income tax do to generate state revenue: Florida receives over 70% of its general revenue from sales tax with another 11% coming from corporate income tax. The state gets revenue from tourism through the Tourist Development Tax. Nevada receives roughly 37% of its general revenue from a sales tax and use tax, including taxes on gaming fees, insurance premiums and a live entertainment tax. The state’s base rate is 6.85%. If Nevada were its own country, it would rank 10th in gold production, but tax revenue from natural resources only produces a small portion of revenue in taxes related to its natural resources. A state constitutional provision limits taxes on minerals. New Hampshire phased out its individual income tax in 2025 and does not have a state sales tax either. The state derives a little over a third of its budget from a business profits tax. New Hampshire has a meals and rooms tax, which serves as a form of tourism tax. This accounts for a little over one-tenth of its revenue. New Hampshire makes up the remainder of its revenue from miscellaneous fees, such as its tobacco tax, Medicaid enhancement tax and its tax on real estate transfers. South Dakota makes over 60% of its revenue from sales tax. The state has a base rate of 4.2% on general sales. The state also imposes a contractor’s excise tax, which is a 2% fee on the total cost of a construction project. This tax accounts for a little under one-tenth of the state’s budget. Similar to Nevada, South Dakota has a strong mining industry but derives less than 1% of its revenue from its severance tax. Tennessee makes up 60% of the state’s revenue from a general sales tax. Tennessee’s state sales tax is 7%. Tennessee employs a franchise and excise tax on corporations and businesses that contributes 16% of revenue. In Texas, a 6.25% state sales and use tax is imposed on all retail sales, leases and rentals for most goods and certain services. The state first imposed a sales tax structure in 1961, and it provides over half of the state’s budget. Texas fills the remainder of its budget with various taxes on motor vehicle sales, franchise taxes and taxes on the state’s natural resources.

This Reverses “Crepey Skin” for 83% of Women

Hey there, Thin “crepey” skin is one of the most visible and frustrating signs of aging. But after years of research, scientists from Kyung Hee University in Seoul have discovered something remarkable: Women who tried this daily “tea ritual” experienced an 82% improvement in crepey skin with results in as little as 2 weeks… And a 48% reduction in wrinkles! High definition 3D skin scans show dramatic before-and-after differences. It works by nourishing your fibroblasts, critical cells that produce 100% of your skin’s collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid… Keeping it thick, bouncy, and youthful. But these fibroblasts start to die off once we turn 35, and then even faster after age 55. Unfortunately, traditional moisturizers and skin creams can’t reach fibroblast cells, so they don’t do much good. Worse still, creams and moisturizers destroy the skin’s natural moisturizing process, which is why I tell people to avoid them. That’s also why Ivy League dermatologist, Dr. Mara Weinstein is using this Korean breakthrough with her patients: She demonstrates the simple, at-home Korean “tea ritual” here She said it’s helping her patients look 10 to 15 years younger… With skin that’s 320% more hydrated, 18% more elastic, and visibly firmer and younger-looking. Like Tracey Colone from Rainbow City, Alabama who tried it and said… “Wow, I cannot believe what a difference this has made in reducing the visibility of my wrinkles and firming up the skin on my neck, too… the woman at the grocery store told me I look amazing. That really made my day!” Cheers! (ADVERTISEMENT, AFFILIATE & HEALTH DISCLOSURE.  This article contains sponsored promotional content and affiliate links.

SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE: What The Democrat Socialists Taking Over The Democrat Party ACTUALLY Believe — END AMERICA

This needs to be shared everywhere if we’re going to save our country….and that’s not exaggeration or hyperbole, it’s fact. And I’ll prove it. The debate has never been about Republican vs. Democrat. They sold you on that for decades, but it’s fake. It’s fake in multiple ways. First, we know Republicans are mostly filled with worthless RINO obstructionists. Second, the R vs D paradigm ended somewhere around the time of JFK and Eisenhower. Ever since then, it’s only been about the Deep State vs. people who love America, and the Deep State has mostly occupied and corrupted both parties. But now it’s gone to a new level. Now they’re openly calling themselves Socialists and the real secret is that it’s not even Socialism, it’s all-out Communism. Glenn Beck brilliantly broke this down and this is the video I want to be seen by every single voter in America. Watch here — and then share please: FULL TRANSCRIPT: Bill Maher, definitely not a conservative, a couple of weeks ago came out and said, “Hey, my vote is up for grabs. If these socialists are the choice, have you read what they say? You hear what they’re for? I’m not with them.” And apparently he said, “I went on vacation and everybody was yelling at me, ‘How dare you, you’re a Republican!’” He’s like, “I’m not a Republican. I’m just not stupid.” So he reads a few sentences out loud on HBO and his own audience gasps at this. This is not a conservative audience. It’s not a church crowd in Tulsa. It’s Los Angeles, an audience that shows up on a Friday night to laugh at Republicans. And Maher told them the Democratic Socialists of America have gone openly communist. That when the president says it, it happens to be true, and that his own party—in his own words—is being colonized. Then he read from a post of one of Mayor Mamdani’s top aides urging people to vote for communist candidates, and the room went deathly quiet. Listen, Donald Trump has told one trillion lies. But when he says the Democratic Socialists of America are actually communist, that’s not one of them. And it’s not hard to prove it just by quoting the DSA and their candidates. Let’s just read the quotes. The DSA platform says, “You work as much as you are able and no more than needed.” If that was any closer to Karl Marx’s dictum “from each according to his abilities to each according to his needs,” they’d be sued for plagiarism. Not to leave any doubt, New York Mayor Mamdani once tweeted Karl Marx’s words exactly. They’re not trying to hide it. Their most popular influencer, Hasan, thinks communism is so groovy he laments the fall of two of the most murderous regimes in history: the Soviet Union and Chairman Mao’s China. Mamdani’s top aide, CIA Weaver, said, “If you don’t believe in the government’s sacred right to seize property, it’s over, and impoverish the white middle class.” What? That’s a goal? He then goes on, and the key to this—the reason for the response to the gasp—is the most important thing he said all night. He just read a tweet that said more people should vote for communists, and it was from a Democratic Socialist candidate. And they went quiet. He looked at them and said, “Good. I’m glad you’re shocked. People have to realize this is going on.” We’re in a moment here right now, and Bill Maher may be the most important man on the planet to stop this. This is something that I’ve been warning about forever. This is the reason I do this job. If it wasn’t for the people who are actually communist, actually socialist, actually want to destroy our country—if they were just Democrats, I wouldn’t be doing this job. I really wouldn’t. It’s not worth it. It’s not. These people are serious and I’ve seen them coming forever. But here’s what I want you to understand in the moment. Nothing read was leaked. Nothing was hacked. Nothing came from a whistleblower, an undercover camera, or a dossier. Everything he said in that entire monologue—and I urge you to go watch the whole thing and then share it—is published. It’s sitting public. It’s sitting on a website with a nice red and white design and a friendly cartoon fist waiting for anybody in America or around the world to click on it. The address of this program is dsausa.org. Write it down. It is the most effective thing in American politics right now, and neither party wants to talk about it. So, let me tell you what’s on it. They call it “Workers Deserve More.” It opens with a lovely little story about a day off in the world without capitalism. You don’t have debt. You have no mortgage, no landlord, no health insurance because you don’t need it. Food, education, energy, medicine, and transportation are no longer businesses. You can walk your kids to school. You can read a book. You meet friends for dinner. Reads like a brochure for a very nice retirement community. And that’s the point. That’s the part they want you to read. Then scroll under the headings of mass incarceration. They don’t say reform the police. They say demilitarize departments, break the police unions, and move the money as steps towards—their words, not mine—”fully abolishing the police and prison system.” End quote. That’s the sign of a lunacy. That’s just lunacy. These are lunatics. But why stop there? Under working-class democracy, they call for abolishing the Senate, abolishing the Electoral College, replacing the president and the Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by Congress, answerable only to Congress. I want you to think about that one. This isn’t a policy proposal. This is the removal of two of the three branches of the government of the United States. This is a complete redo of the Constitution. It’s throwing all of it out and starting fresh. You into that, Democrats? Is that what you want? Under economic democracy: public ownership of the largest corporations and essential industries. So, they do want to own the machine. Okay? Under foreign policy: defund the Department of War. Now, listen to this. I just want you to think, what is the world’s response for America defunding the Department of War, closing all of our overseas bases, abolishing ICE, an end to all detention and deportation, amnesty for everyone regardless of status, an end to sanctions on Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran? Those three countries by name on their own website. Wow, that’s quite a world, isn’t it? And in the preamble, the sentence that ties the whole thing together: they are building a party to draft a new constitution and to create a new democratic socialist republic. Not amend this, not to reform America. Draft a new one. Now, you share this with people, I can guarantee you—I can see it because I can see it in my own family’s eyes, okay?—what they’ll do is they’ll roll their eyes. They’re like, “These are fringe kids on the internet, and they don’t speak for anybody.” Well, the website answers that, too. There’s an author’s note at the bottom. The program was drafted between April and June of this year by a committee elected through the process of their own 2025 national convention. The committee included members of their national political committee, their board of directors, and leaders of their national committees. They went to the NPC to amend, finalize, and approve. This is not a blog post. This was a ratified governing document produced by leadership for the purpose of guiding those who get their endorsement. Okay? And that endorsement is very important to some people. This is not the Democratic platform. We care about those, right? You’re supposed to care about those. What’s in there? It tells you. And this isn’t a small organization anymore. On the 4th of July, they announced they passed 121,000 members, which according to their own numbers makes them the largest socialist organization in American history—larger than Eugene Debs’ Socialist Party at its peak in 1912. Also, the Marxist Unity Group faction, the one that Maher named, holds three of the 25 seats on that national board. Five of their members won congressional primaries this year. Now, the second thing you’re going to hear is, “You’re taking this out of context. You’re exaggerating. That’s a right-wing talking point.” No. No. Actually, the loudest voices saying it out loud right now have a “D” after their name. John Fetterman on the Democratic Socialist agenda: quote, “This isn’t a big tent. It’s anarchy.” And then the question he put to his own party is, “Why can’t Democrats call this out?” Henry Cuellar of Texas: quote, “I read their platform and it’s radical.” He wants Democrats to reject it by name. Now he’s got standing to say it. He says they spent more than $20 million trying to primary him twice. He beat them both times running on border security and oil and gas jobs in a Democratic primary. Mark Kelly of Arizona warned that abolishing police, prisons, and borders, and defunding the Pentagon don’t make sense and will cost his party seats. Annie Andrews, running for the Senate in South Carolina as a Democrat, called the ideas un-American and unhinged. Rahm Emanuel says it’s a losing message anywhere outside of a few zip codes. And Chuck Schumer, asked directly whether his platform belongs in the Democratic Party, wouldn’t answer because that guy’s terrified. There’s one more piece, and it’s the part most people have not heard. Last week, Fox reported that people identifying themselves as DSA’s own International Committee have signed onto a statement from a group called Friends of Socialist China—a pledge to support and defend Chinese socialism, which, by the way, I just want you to know that socialism is full-fledged communism. Okay? They say they’re not for communism… well, they don’t, but others say they’re not for communism, yet they describe China as socialist. By the way, let’s not confuse: when I say “they,” I mean the Democrats say they’re not communist. But you’re in bed with socialists who describe themselves as communist—at least half of them—and they describe the record of the socialist countries as overwhelmingly positive, and call the idea that socialism produces oppression a piece of capitalist propaganda that needs correcting. Some of those names have been on that list since 2022. This is not an outlier. In January, the DSA issued a formal statement demanding that Nicolás Maduro be returned to Venezuela. A research institute report in February documented their delegations meeting with Maduro and the head of Cuba, followed by campaigns back home pushing exactly the policy priorities those governments wanted, including taking Cuba off the terror sponsor list. Prison camps and thought control or propaganda—really, Maduro should be restored? Have you talked to people who live there? The Chinese model deserves defending? Their words, their letterhead, their website, not mine. So, here’s where I’m landing on this, and it might not be where you would think. We don’t need to beat these people. We need to provide the introduction to these people. You know, they can’t wait to tell you who they are. Look at the numbers. Echelon Insights asked voters last month: the free market came back at plus 41, capitalism plus 20, the DSA minus 21, socialism minus 29, communism minus 73. When Reuters and Ipsos asked at the end of July whether Democratic Socialists have good ideas, 51% said few or none. But in the same poll, 47% of Americans said they don’t really even understand what Democratic Socialist policies actually are, so they couldn’t comment. Half the country—half the country has not been shown this document. Half the country has no idea. And in that vacuum, all they’ve heard is libraries and fire departments and free healthcare and a nice story about a day off. That’s why the fight isn’t an argument. It really is a link. When your brother-in-law tells you this is fear-mongering, don’t debate him. Don’t cite me. I’m not the source. I don’t want to be. Just send him the URL: dsausa.org. Let him find the words “fully abolishing the police and prison system” on his own screen in their own typeface, their own logo at the top. Let him scroll down to see the author’s note and see that the leadership has signed off on it. Because the moment somebody discovers this for himself, it stops being a talking point from a radio host and becomes something he knows. That’s why I’ve always told you, you have to do your own homework. I discovered when I was 30 that there was very little that I actually knew myself. I had been told a lot of things, but I hadn’t earned the right to say that’s something I truly believed. It was something I had heard or something that I was taught. I had to go out and find it for myself. And that’s the beginning of what was happening in Maher’s studio Friday night. Nobody argued anyone into anything. He just read out loud from a document to a room full of people who thought they knew what they were supporting, and they made a sound. Oh boy. They wrote it down. They put it on the internet. They’re proud of it. All we have to do is introduce them to the rest of America. Let Americans read it: dsausa.org.

Spokane Sheriff Reveals What Led Detectives Back To Wildfire Suspect After Initial Release

A citizen saw something that did not look right near the origin of the most destructive wildfire in the Spokane area. Deputies found the man, questioned him—and let him go. What happened next is a remarkable look at how one witness, body-camera footage and a second review allegedly brought investigators back to the same suspect. The Spokane County Sheriff’s Office arrested 37-year-old Aaron F. Farinacci on Monday and booked him on suspicion of first-degree arson in connection with the Old Trails Fire. The fire started Saturday northwest of Spokane, jumped the Spokane River and ripped through residential neighborhoods. Footage from the area shows homes reduced to ash and smoke hanging over block after block of destruction: #BREAKING: A man who m*rdered his own FATHER because he was asked to WASH DISHES… is now accused of setting a fire that burned roughly 700 homes to the ground and forced 65,000 people to flee. Yes, he k*lled his dad over DISHES and he wasn't in prison. His name is Aaron… pic.twitter.com/ba4XEqUdrM — Matt Van Swol (@mattvanswol) August 4, 2026 The Associated Press reports that the break in the case began with a community member who saw a nervous-looking man bent down near grass along the road. Deputies responded and detained Farinacci near the scene. They questioned him, but at that point they did not believe they had enough evidence to arrest him, so he was released. Major-crimes detectives later began reviewing reports and body-worn camera footage from the initial encounter. Sheriff John Nowels said that process identified Farinacci again and allowed investigators to compare the witness’s location with the area where the fire began. The locations matched, according to the sheriff. Investigators also learned that Farinacci allegedly had matches and a butane lighter when deputies detained him. That combination—the citizen’s observation, the recorded police encounter, the fire-origin work and the items reportedly found on Farinacci—turned an initial release into a first-degree arson arrest. Nowels credited the arrest to a citizen who paid attention, recognized that something was wrong and stepped forward with information investigators could test against the evidence. JUST IN: An Arson Suspect was just ARRESTED For Starting Wildfires That Washington Gov. Inslee Blamed on “Climate Change” The suspect,Aaron Farinacci, is a convicted murderer who killed his own father. Democrats should focus on keeping violent criminals off the streets… pic.twitter.com/bSsQHk8D2s — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) August 4, 2026 There is a second point investigators and the public now have to keep straight. The Old Trails Fire was the largest of three fires burning around Spokane. The widely reported total of at least 700 destroyed buildings and roughly 67,000 evacuations covers all three fires combined. Farinacci is accused in connection with the Old Trails Fire. Authorities had not announced a cause for the other two fires, and the combined losses should not be attributed solely to the fire tied to his arrest. Even with that distinction, the Old Trails Fire produced extraordinary destruction. It jumped a river, tore through neighborhoods and left some longtime residents staring at little more than foundations, chimneys and blackened vehicles. More than 1,000 firefighters had arrived by Monday, with additional crews expected. At that point, officials said the Spokane-area fires remained uncontained. Then there is Farinacci’s history. Current reporting identifies him as a convicted felon who served time for manslaughter in Arizona. Contemporaneous reporting from the Phoenix New Times says he was 21 when an argument broke out after a family dinner over who would do the dishes. Mesa police said Farinacci went into his parents’ bedroom, locked the door and took his father’s handgun from a nightstand. When his father unlocked the door, Farinacci allegedly shot him twice. Jeffrey Farinacci later died at the hospital. Police said Farinacci pointed the gun at his mother when she entered the room. She fled and called for help. Officers found him about an hour later several blocks away with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest. Social-media posts have described Farinacci as a convicted murderer. The underlying killing is real, but the legally accurate prior conviction reported in the current case is felony manslaughter. UPDATE: A man has been ARRESTED for ARSON after the Democrat governor of Washington blamed the Spokane fires on climate change Aaron Farinacci is not only suspected of starting the fires but previously m*rdered his FATHER. Imagine that. WHY WAS HE ON THE STREET?!?! pic.twitter.com/0Ybtz09Xr7 — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) August 4, 2026 Some viral posts also describe Jay Inslee as Washington’s governor. Bob Ferguson is the state’s current governor; Inslee left office in 2025. The climate reference comes from Inslee’s earlier rhetoric. After destructive Spokane County fires in 2023, an official Washington Governor’s Office bulletin quoted him arguing that climate change was creating conditions no fleet of fire trucks could overcome. Hot, dry and windy conditions can determine how fast a fire spreads. They do not answer the separate question of who—or what—ignited it. In this case, the sheriff says the immediate answer began with an ordinary person who paid attention, remembered what he saw and spoke up. Farinacci is presumed innocent unless and until prosecutors prove the new charge in court. But if the allegations hold, a citizen’s decision not to look the other way may have stopped the person responsible from disappearing into the chaos.

New Trump Administration Policy Aims To ‘Revitalize Higher Education.’ Here’s How.

The Department of Education announced recently that the nation’s colleges and universities will face a new requirement this year to outline how they comply with and advance several priorities of the Trump administration.  Education Secretary Linda McMahon provided some details about the initiative in the form of an open letter that went out to administrators of those institutions.  According to The Hill: McMahon added, “Before the end of 2026, I call on every postsecondary institution to describe to the American public your commitments to rigorous teaching, pathbreaking research, and national service—commitments that make our universities a bedrock institution of the American republic.” The Education secretary asked for university leaders to address seven topics, ranging from the transparency of their admissions processes to the promotion of the “free exchange of ideas” on campus. “I know that there is no single template for academic excellence, and I hope we will witness a variety of institutional types, each with distinct missions and priorities, issue landmark declarations of purpose that will revitalize higher education in the years ahead,” McMahon wrote. Seven in 10 Americans told the Pew Research Center in September that U.S. higher education was going in the wrong direction, up from 56 percent in 2020. Just 28 percent of respondents to the Pew survey believed the sector was heading in the right direction. The development sparked some social media discussion: Four university presidents helped to draft this letter from Sec. McMahon calling on colleges and universities to publish statements of principle. This is surely the kind of collaboration the admin was hoping to see after the Compact came out last year. https://t.co/mbNLBMCzTG pic.twitter.com/oGWXWwBX6j — Steve McGuire (@sfmcguire79) August 4, 2026 One of the smartest things democrats did was infiltrate the faculty of colleges and universities to intercept young people’s minds. Idk if it was on purpose or an accident but we need to figure out how to provide young people with neutral higher learning and not political agendas — Brett Griffin (@SpotterBrett) August 4, 2026   If you’re serious start removing foreign professors here that push anti American BS. Start putting an end to visa fraud used for students. Do something. Anything. — Geaux Geaux girl (@theolewarskule5) August 4, 2026 Politico added these details: The letter contains some similarities to the college compact the administration sent to a select group of universities last fall, none of which agreed to sign it. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology publicly rejected the compact, arguing that some of its provisions would restrict freedom of expression and the school’s independence. A few schools that were not in the initial group the compact was sent to volunteered to sign it.  The letter does not include some of the more controversial asks in the compact, including a 15 percent cap on international undergraduate enrollment and a five-year tuition freeze. It also does not offer the incentives featured in the compact, including a potential leg up in federal contracts and grants.  The department is asking schools to post these statements “prominently” on their websites before the end of 2026. The department did not immediately respond to questions about what happens if the schools do or do not participate. And here’s some additional coverage: What are your thoughts?
