Trump’s Social Security proposal could
be his biggest political weapon
Posted By: Mercedes44, 8/14/2024 6:32:40 AM
With Kamala Harris becoming a rock star by inviting rock stars to open her act, it’s clear she’s focused on generating excitement through pure fluff. But whereas Harris captures headlines with showmanship, Donald Trump has an opportunity to resonate deeply with a far more substantial and often overlooked voting bloc: those who have paid into the Social Security system. If Trump zeroes in on this group, he can unlock a political goldmine that could propel him back into the White House. In what even the New York Times admits could be a game-changer, Trump has proposed ending income taxes on Social Security benefits.

A President that uses pronouns. It is as simple as that. Is that what America is about to elect? It is a scary thought. But Kamala Harris, who indeed has a record that is way off the mainstream of America is very close to becoming the leader of the free world Kamala Harris supports government intervention in order to create what she thinks is equality between men and women. She supports government forcing of pharmaceutical companies in order to enforce her progressive ideas on private companies. She doesn’t just believe in big government. She believes in a super-centralized idea of federal power. She believes in enforcing gun mandates in order to take guns back.
While the Democrats were hooting and hollering and spewing lies and hate both inside and outside the United Center in Chicago at their quadrennial clown show, the more sober U.S. Department of Labor Statistics, Current Employment Statistics finally admitted, "Whoops -- we made a major mistake! A 30% mistake in counting. There were actually 818,000 fewer jobs created in the past year than what we reported."Oh! Well, mistakes do happen and what's 818,000 fewer jobs among friends?
Well, since you asked, an increase in bankruptcies in 2023.
Hamas is now in dire need of a ceasefire because its leaders want to hold on to power in the Gaza Strip.
If the Biden-Harris administration and its Iranian, Qatari and Egyptian allies manage to impose a ceasefire on Israel, it will be viewed by many Arabs and Muslims not only as a reward for the October 7 massacres, but specifically as a lifeline for Hamas.
Hamas officials, however, were more honest than the Americans, Egyptians and Qataris. These officials were quick to deny any progress in the ceasefire talks and described them as "a waste of time."
One of the great mysteries about the January 6, 2021, events is the lack of curiosity by the FBI about who planted the pipe bombs at the DNC and RNC headquarters. Amid all of the available CCTV video and surveillance technology exploited by the justice department, their transparent unwillingness to identify the pipe bomber has always been a dog that did not bark.
The Occam’s Razor explanation for why DC and federal law enforcement have been incurious, points to law enforcement actually planting the bombs. New CCTV video seems to show exactly that.
The media construct around the political campaign of Kamala Harris took a big hit today when Harris held a campaign event in Raleigh, North Carolina, but did not have a big-name music star to bring the crowds. As a result, only a few dozen supporters showed up to hear the preliminary economic plan of Kamala Harris. The official crowd size was listed at 109 participants, including media as Kamala read from a teleprompter at the event. Harris has pledged price controls for groceries, which will drive up the price of groceries. Harris has pledged $25,000 in down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers,

The woman who was babysitting a two-year-old child who died in her care in 2022 has been convicted.
Kaitlynn Russel was convicted of endangering the life or health of a child and reckless conduct following a jury trial in Sangamon County.
In January of 2022 while babysitting the child, who authorities referenced as P.G., the child was found face down in the bathtub.
Evidence was presented at the trial that Russell would let the toddler roam around the house unsupervised, and that after finding the child in the bathtub, Russell did not seek medical attention immediately.
Vice President Kamala Harris had nothing but “praise” for her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, when questioned Thursday about his service in the National Guard.
Harris, 59, was asked by a reporter to respond to criticism that Walz “deserted his own troops, deserted his own colleagues” when he opted to retire from the Minnesota National Guard in May 2005, as his battalion was preparing to deploy to the Iraq war zone.
“Listen, I praise anyone who has presented themselves to serve our country,” Harris said. “And I think that we all should.”

When reviewing the conversation, I note a lot of this sentiment…
KT Says – “Trump staffing? He hasn’t even won. Harris polls are rising as long as she’s kept on teleprompter (like Biden in the basement) is working. The assassination attempt on Trumps life is already waning and will be forgotten by election date. Wisconsin’s road map to steal ballots in counties will work unless”….
Second similar:
MimiNP56 says – ...”As informative and fun as these posts have been, we cannot be distracted by them. Trump has not been elected, yet. We need a gameplan to get him elected.
All four reports called for major new investments in US defense spending, completion of the current nuclear deterrent modernization effort, and also recommended, given the projected rise of military power by America's enemies, that the US add serious new nuclear capabilities to its deterrence.
The issue not addressed by all of the reports is: before the improvements in US defense capability are completed, will the US be able to successfully avoid conflicts with the new axis of China, Russia, Iran and North Korea?
Back in March, the Biden administration claimed that it was persuading the Palestinian Authority (PA), led by Mahmoud Abbas, to change its murder-for-hire "pay for slay" policy. Terrorists who have been imprisoned in Israel for their crimes, as well as families of deceased or wounded terrorists, receive monthly stipends as a reward for murdering Jews. The longer the prison sentence, the higher the monthly stipend. Talk about incentivizing and encouraging terrorism.
Not only has the PA not begun to change the "pay for slay" system, it is adding tens of thousands of terrorist prisoners and "martyrs" to be funded by the scheme.
In an Aug. 1 decision over redistricting of county commission seats in Galveston, Texas, the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals has issued a decision that stops the political misuse of the Voting Rights Act by Democrats and their allies to create voting districts loyal to the Democratic Party instead of protecting the voting rights of minorities. This decision may also affect the political makeup of Congress and state legislatures in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas—the states within the jurisdiction of the 5th Circuit—moving dozens of seats from Democrat to Republican.

Bill Clinton joked that he didn't have many conventions left during his speech at the DNC Wednesday night, as many on social media said his voice and hands were shaky the entire time.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, washed-up talk show host Oprah Winfrey enthusiastically endorsed Kamala Harris at the DNC Convention in Chicago Wednesday night while trashing President Trump and other Republicans at the event.
Winfrey immediately opened her speech by outlandishly accusing Republicans of trying to scare voters, something Democrats, including Comrade Kamala, have been doing non-stop for decades. She also took a mean-spirited shot at Trump, calling him an impulsive liar and con artist.
“We are beyond ridiculous tweets and lies and foolery,” she bellowed.
Earlier today the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) revised the annual jobs report to remove 818,000 previously recorded jobs.
[…] “The Bureau of Labor Statistics revised down its total tally of jobs created in the year through March by 818,000 as part of its preliminary annual benchmark review of payroll data. That suggests the economy added an average of 174,000 jobs per month during that time period — below the previous 242,000 estimate. On a monthly basis, that amounts to about 68,000 fewer jobs. It marks the largest downward revision since 2009.” (read more)

Experts are sounding the alarm in the wake of college prices closing in on $100,000 per year when counting tuition, fees, room and board, books, and other living expenses.
“Among the schools appearing on The Princeton Review’s ‘The Best 389 Colleges’ list, eight institutions — including New York University, Tufts, Brown, Yale and Washington University in St. Louis — have a sticker price of more than $90,000 for the 2024-25 academic year,” CNBC reported. Those tuition prices could well cross into the $100,000 territory come 2026 so long as the adjustments average roughly 4 percent a year.
A member of the Texas Democratic Delegation was robbed at gunpoint during the party's national convention, according to a report.
The victim, 25, was walking in downtown Chicago at 2am on Wednesday during the DNC when a black Range Rover pulled up alongside and armed men in ski masks got out.
The suspects are believed to have been involved in a string of robberies across the city, CWB Chicago reported. The attackers took the man's wallet and room keys, then crossed the street to rob someone else, the report states.
The FBI is investigating an incident at a delegate buffet breakfast at the Fairmont Hotel in Chicago where live maggots were thrown on the food.
"Multiple unknown female offenders are alleged to have entered a building...and began placing unknown objects onto tables containing food," the convention's information center said in a statement. "The offenders are believed to have then left the area. One victim was treated and released on-scene. Along with CPD, FBI-Chicago is assisting in the investigation."
No one claimed responsibility for what the FBI called an "attack." Got to watch those maggots, man. They can be vicious.

Fans and viewers had a collective meltdown after pop star Beyoncé was a no-show at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) following multiple news reports that the Grammy-winner would perform on Thursday night. “F****** liars,” one fan reacted, accusing the convention and or news outlets of lying “to get people to watch.”
“Beyoncé Performing at DNC’s Final Night!!!” read a headline from TMZ, which reported that multiple sources with knowledge of the matter told the outlet that the “Beautiful Liar” singer would be “big surprise performer” as Vice President Kamala Harris officially accepts the Democrat Party nomination.
Scott Jennings, the right leaning pundit at CNN, has quickly made a name for himself by repeatedly introducing his network colleagues to reality.
In one of his most recent viral moments, he called out his fellow panelists during the DNC by reminding them who has been in charge at the White House for 12 of the last 16 years.
How is everything Trump’s fault when he was only there for four of those 16 years?
