Take special note FTA: “Corporations received an enormous tax break in 2017. While their profits soared, their investment in their workers and the economy did not. Their SHAREHOLDERS and top executives reaped the benefits, without the promised trickle down to workers, consumers, or communities. ... “A Backdoor Tax on Roth IRAs “Remember that Roth IRAs are supposed to be tax-free, end of story. ... Another way of saying this is that Biden is proposing a 33.3% ($700/$2,100) tax increase on Roth IRAs THAT IS, HOWEVER, INVISIBLE BECAUSE IT NEVER SHOWS UP ON THE TAXPAYER’S SCHEDULE B, SCHEDULE D, OR FORM 1040. “If the Democrat left thinks this is a good way to raise federal tax revenues, it is certainly free to try to make this case in the court of public opinion with a jury of roughly 160 million registered voters, to reach a verdict in November. THIS JURY IS, HOWEVER, ENTITLED TO THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH, AS SHOWN ABOVE, IS THAT THE PROPOSED TAX PLAN AFFECTS ALL AMERICAN INVESTORS--NOT JUST THE “RICH” WHO MAKE MORE THAN $400,000 A YEAR.” Albert Einstein: "The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax."

Surprise, surprise, Democrats have wanted to do this for decades. It is, according to them, the only source of "unused money" left.

My chief financial advisor told me that the government would eventually figure out that it needed to steal our retirement funds. Joe is going to try.

Two thoughts: 1) I need some new conspiracy theories. All my old ones turned out to be true. 2) I retired at the end of 2012, and I did a 'hurry-up' to get out the door before the calendar year ended. My reason at the time was that earlier, Zero ran out of Federal cash, and 'borrowed' what he wanted from the retirement accounts of federal workers. THAT time it was paid back, but I was concerned that it would happen again in 2013, and would NOT be paid back. I figured that, as they had passed a 'retroactive' tax bill (retroactive to the beginning of the year) that year, they might go back and 'borrow' (steal) from retiree's accounts that had been open in 2013, but it would be harder for them to reach back and steal from previous year's accounts.

Evidently, raiding the social security account and turning it into a Ponzi scheme isn’t enough for this confiscatory government! Government takeover of private retirement accounts is casus belli as far as I am concerned!

The Democrats have already significantly raided all savings by trillions of dollars of deficit spending with the resulting inflation. For years the Federal Reserve has been keeping interest rates below the rate of inflation, so if you save you lose, particularly if you keep your money in cash..

Makes sense. Keep the stock market irrationally inflated with feckless government spending, and now the only potential source of additional taxation is the fake money in the stock market.

Out government is essentially bankrupt. For evidence, look at all the inflation. The only thing worse than not admitting it is admitting it. They will never admit they are bankrupt. Look for more fiscal confiscation in the future. The joke's on us though. They will be looting rather than fixing anything. Have to protect their 'investments'. This will not end well. You cannot hide bankruptcy.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is defending former President Donald Trump on Sunday after multiple establishment media outlets ran headlines stating that the former president warned the U.S. would see a "bloodbath" if he is not reelected. [Snip] "Jan 6 was not a 'bloodbath' by any definition and Trump was referring to job losses in the auto industry when he used that word," Musk, the owner of X, replied to Scarborough. "Your post is extremely misleading." When Trump used the word "bloodbath," he was discussing China's reported plans to build cars in Mexico and sell them cheaply in the United States.

Democrats are meddling in Ohio’s Senate GOP primary at the 11th hour to boost Bernie Moreno, the candidate former President Donald Trump endorsed to face vulnerable Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown.[Snip]The group is funded by Senate Majority PAC, the top Democratic outside group focused on Senate races. The apparent goal of the ad is to boost Moreno with GOP voters, and their interference in the race is a sign that they believe he would be the weakest candidate in the general election. Ohio, one of three Democratic-held seats up for election in states Trump won in 2020, is one of the most critical races to the Senate majority.

Harry and Meghan are facing a hypocrisy row after it was revealed that a tree was edited into the photo used to announce Meghan Markle being pregnant with Lilibet, after the Duchess of Sussex's camp took aim at the Princess of Wales for her Photoshop blunder. Royal experts have slammed Prince Harry and Meghan as 'hypocrites' after a resurfaced podcast heard that the intimate 2021 black and white photo of the couple had been doctored.

The number of civilian casualties in Gaza has been at the center of international attention since the start of the war. The main source for the data has been the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry, [Snip] If Hamas’ numbers are faked or fraudulent in some way, there may be evidence in the numbers themselves that can demonstrate it. While there is not much data available, there is a little, and it is enough: [Snip] While the evidence is not dispositive, it is highly suggestive that a process unconnected or loosely connected to reality was used to report the numbers. [Snip] The total civilian casualty count is likely to be extremely overstated.

Former President Donald Trump posted a $91.6 million bond Friday after losing writer E. Jean Carroll’s defamation case against him, also appealing the eight-figure judgment, as the ex-president faced a Monday deadline to pay the judgment against him—though he still has hundreds of millions more to pay in a separate civil fraud case. [Snip] Trump faced a Monday deadline to put up the money he owes in the case, as he had 30 days after the judgment on Feb. 8 to either pay cash or post an appeals bond before Carroll could ask the court to enforce the judgment and seize Trump’s assets.

President Biden will announce during his State of the Union address Thursday that he’s directing the U.S. military to lead the construction of a port along the coast of Gaza on the Mediterranean Sea to boost the amount of aid getting to Palestinian civilians. [Snip] Senior administration officials said the project will not require any U.S. boots on the ground in Gaza. Instead, the plan involves U.S. personnel on military vessels offshore who will not be required to go ashore to install the port. [Snip] A senior administration official said the U.S. worked “very closely with the Israelis in developing this initiative.”

Former President Trump demanded he receive a new trial after a jury ordered him to pay $83.3 million in advice columnist E. Jean Carroll’s defamation lawsuit. [Snip] “Just before President Trump took the stand at trial, the Court engaged in a colloquy with defense counsel designed to restrict the scope of President Trump’s testimony,” [Snip] That exchange, they argue, narrowed the scope of Trump’s testimony to the point of prejudice by preventing him from addressing his mental state in relation to Carroll. On the witness stand, Trump only answered two questions--one of which was objected to, they wrote.

Kate Middleton has surfaced for the first time since her hospitalization earlier this year that sidelined her for a good while--and she's maintaining a low profile--or trying to anyway. The Princess of Wales was seen riding passenger Monday in a vehicle that was being driven by her mother, Carole, near Windsor Castle in the UK ... and like we said, this sighting is a big deal considering we haven't seen her whatsoever since December. Kate was wearing shades, and appeared to be rocking somewhat of a smile here--there didn't appear to be any other relatives with them for this outing

There's new reporting about Joe Biden, and it's not looking good from inside the campaign. According to the report from NBC, Biden is "angry and anxious about his reelection effort." Nearly 20 lawmakers, present and past administration officials, and Biden allies, dished on his anger about Trump leading him in the polls. When he found out that his numbers were dropping, he was "seething." That's why he's now throwing Israel and Netanyahu under the bus, and doing all he can to try to appeal to the left to get them back into the fold. The polls have left him frustrated and questioning the travel and communication strategies.
Washington Supreme Court Rules Bar Exam

The Washington State Supreme Court officially abolished the traditional bar exam requirement for aspiring lawyers Friday due to its perceived negative impact on minorities. The Supreme Court has announced that the bar exam is no longer a requirement for those who aspire to be practicing lawyers. The Bar Licensure Task Force claims that the exam is only minimally effective in measuring competency and noted its unfair barrier to marginalized communities aspiring to practice law, according to the Washington Administrative Office of the Courts. The Task Force on Bar Licensure found that the usual bar exam unfairly stops people from underrepresented groups from entering the legal profession.

Free speech is on trial at the Supreme Court, but Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson is no fan of the First Amendment. The Constitution, you see, limits the government. But leftists want unlimited government — which is why they hate the Constitution. During Monday’s oral arguments for Murthy v. Missouri, formerly known as Biden v. Missouri, Jackson claimed to oppose any ruling in favor of Americans’ constitutional right to free speech if it limited the government’s ability to censor that speech via Big Tech. “My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways in the most important time periods,” Jackson told

The Biden administration is expected this week to finalize highly anticipated regulations targeting gas-powered vehicle tailpipe emissions, considered the tip of the spear in its efforts to electrify the transportation sector. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is slated to issue the final rulemaking — which officials have boasted will incentivize greater adoption of electric vehicles (EV), but which opponents have criticized as a de facto mandate — as soon as Wednesday, industry sources told Fox News Digital. The regulations, a key part of President Biden's climate agenda, would ultimately force automakers to more rapidly expand electric options in their fleets beginning in a matter of years.

"The Kamala conundrum comes down to this: She was picked because she was Black and female, a combo tantamount to job security. Now that she has become a burden to the Democratic ticket, Biden can’t fire her. He can’t risk alienating his base. Full stop." That was Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker, in a March 15 piece headlined “For the Country’s Sake, Vice President Harris Should Step Aside,” a move proposed “with all due respect.” If readers wonder how much respect is due, a ballpark figure would be zero, and that was true from the start. Kamala Harris owes everything to poontronage from Willie Brown, a Democrat queenmaker 30 years her senior.

There’s plenty of bad news about the Republican campaign in 2024, and I’ve covered it in detail, but objectivity requires that one correctly assess what is going right too, and there’s a lot going right for Republicans right now. First and foremost, there is the massive change at the Republican National Committee with the firing of the utterly useless Ronna McDaniel and the elevation of Michael Whatley and Lara Trump.Next, Donald Trump is in a position where it looks like he is likely to win the presidency if current trends continue…that’s one heck of an if. And, finally, we also seem to be doing pretty well in the Senate races.
