Progressives Are Hopeful They Can Raise
Your Taxes Next Year
Posted By: Dreadnought, 9/3/2024 11:07:40 PM
Senator Elizabeth Warren apparently calls this the "tax doom loop" which is a pretty twisted way of framing things. The "tax doom" in this case refers to the fact that, given a choice, most Americans would rather not pay higher taxes. As for the "loop" part of the formula, that arises from the fact that we have a two party system in which the Republican Party is able to run on this issue of taxes and occasionally even cut taxes, leaving progressive Democrats with a major problem. How can they keep spending money they don't have? It goes like this: Republicans pass huge tax cuts that are, at first, only temporary.

A teenager accused of killing four people at Apalachee High School in Barrow County was previously investigated for threats about a shooting, the FBI Atlanta office said late Wednesday.
Colt Gray, 14, was charged with murder after Wednesday’s shooting, according to investigators. He was not charged after an investigation last year.
In May 2023, the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center received several anonymous tips about threats to commit a school shooting made on an online gaming site, the FBI and Jackson County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. The threats didn’t identify a school or when it would happen, but they contained pictures of guns.

WASHINGTON — Former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., on Wednesday endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president, the latest high-profile Republican endorsement for Democrats.
Cheney's comments took place during an appearance at Duke University’s Sanford School of Public Policy. “Because of the danger that Donald Trump poses, not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I will be voting for Kamala Harris,” Cheney said in a video of remarks posted to X.

BARROW COUNTY, Ga. — Four people were killed and nine others were sent to the hospital after a shooting at Apalachee High School on Wednesday morning.
During a news conference on Wednesday afternoon, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation identified the shooter as 14-year-old Colt Gray. Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith says that a school resource officer engaged Gray shortly after shots were fired. Gray then got on the ground, surrendered and was taken into custody.
Smith says that Gray realized that if he did not give himself up, he would have been shot.
They say Gray has been interviewed by sheriff’s office investigators and the GBI.

Allegedly Orchestrating Election-Interference Campaign 7 replies
The Justice Department is cracking down on suspected Russian attempts to interfere with the 2024 U.S. presidential election through online propaganda, announcing Wednesday the indictment of two Russia-based employees of RT, a Kremlin-backed propaganda outlet, on charges of money laundering and violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
The Biden administration also unveiled sanctions against ten Russian individuals and entities, and seized 32 internet domains connected to operation “Doppelganger,” a Kremlin-sponsored campaign to propagandize Americans through fraudulent websites and social-media accounts that resemble legitimate news sources.
For weeks, the presidential campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris has argued that the battle for always-on microphones at next week’s debate with former President Donald Trump was so that she could show her prosecutorial chops.
Skeptics instead said she was hoping for a replay of the “I’m speaking” moments she had in the 2020 debate with then-Vice President Mike Pence when he interrupted to make a point, an event heralded in liberal media circles as a victory for the Democrat.
Now, Harris is admitting the skeptics were right.
According to the latest RealClearPolitics national average, Kamala Harris has a 1.8-point lead. Democrats are no doubt thrilled about this, but they really shouldn't be. Harris is running way behind both Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton at this point in the 2020 and 2016 elections.
But I'm here to talk about Nate Silver's latest forecast. In the previous forecast I reported on, from August 31, Donald Trump held a 53.1% chance of winning the Electoral College, while Harris trailed with 46.6%. This was because Trump maintained the advantage in key swing states, with the odds showing him with a 52-48% edge in the most important swing state: Pennsylvania.
On Aug. 1, 2022, senior Justice Department and FBI officials gathered on the seventh floor of the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., for a historic meeting.
They exchanged pleasantries, shook hands, and took seats in Room 7427, the FBI general counsel’s conference room, a nondescript gathering place with a long rectangular table surrounded by no-frills office chairs. Each official wore a suit, mandatory attire on the storied floor that houses the office of the FBI director and his top advisers.

Molson Coors is rolling back its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, becoming the latest in a string of iconic American companies to step away from so-called "woke" policies in recent months.
Conservative activist and filmmaker Robby Starbuck, who has been leading a campaign exposing major corporations' woke policies, said Tuesday on X that Coors sent him a letter its leadership team had circulated to employees that day to explain the changes after he threatened company executives last week. In the letter, provided to FOX Business from Coors, the company's executives said its human resources team began making plans in March to broaden the view
A Hamas terrorist drank Coca-Cola from an Israeli family’s fridge on October 7 as two young brothers, Koren, 12, and Shay Taasa, 8, watched in fear.
Koren and Shay had just witnessed the terrorist kill their father, Gil. A former firefighter in the Ashkelon fire station, Gil took his sons into a shelter when he heard Hamas approach on the morning of October 7, where he tried to fend terrorists off with a gun. Hamas threw a grenade into the shelter, which Gil jumped on to save his sons. Israel showed the horrible scene at the Taasa family’s house in a 47-minute-long broadcast of Hamas’s atrocities,

The Justice Department is charging several top-ranking Hamas terrorists for their role in perpetrating the October 7, 2023, mass slaughter of Israeli civilians that jump-started the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind behind October 7, and five other senior Hamas officials are facing federal terrorism charges for orchestrating the October 7 attacks, the Justice Department announced Tuesday. This will be the first official step towards holding Hamas criminally accountable almost a year after the massacre took place. Hamas terrorists killed more than 1,000 innocent civilians on October 7, including over 40 American citizens.
Brian Stelter is heading back to CNN to lead its coverage of the media, the longtime press correspondent and commentator announced on Tuesday.
Stelter’s return is a surprise move that comes more than two years after he left CNN following the network’s canceling of his weekly Sunday media affairs program “Reliable Sources.”
In his new role as “Chief Media Analyst,” Stelter will appear on CNN’s air, develop digital content and helm its flagship media newsletter, also dubbed “Reliable Sources,” which he helped found in 2015. “It will be different, because I am different,” Stelter wrote to the newsletter’s subscribers on Tuesday.

should I vote for Kamala Harris?”
When asked about voting for Trump, Alexa replied, “I cannot provide content that promotes a specific political party or a specific candidate.”
The responses for Kamala Harris varied but they all praised her.
“While there are many reasons to vote for Kamala Harris, the most significant may be that she is a strong candidate with a proven track record of accomplishment. As the first female vice president, Harris has already broken down a major gender barrier, and her career in politics has been characterized by a commitment to progressive ideals and a focus on helping disenfranchised communities,” Alexa said in response to a question about Kamala Harris.
Linda Sun, a former high-ranking aide to New York Governor Kathy Hochul, was arrested alongside her husband, Christopher Hu, on Tuesday morning following a federal raid on their Long Island home earlier this year.

Former President Donald Trump is exploring the possibility of giving Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, a significant role in his next administration auditing federal agencies. The idea aims to reduce unnecessary regulations and improve operational efficiency. Trump described Musk as a “very smart guy” and praised his capabilities in streamlining business operations.
Hamas has now basically admitted it killed those six hostages rather than risk their liberation — indeed, all but boasted of it.

Brutal gang wars may soon be on the horizon in Chicago thanks to border czar Kamala Harris’ intentional dereliction of duty. (Snip)
Shortly after the news broke, a Chicago resident posted a video on Tiktok that raises cause for concern that rampant gang violence could break out unless the Venezuelans are swiftly removed (not likely to happen). In the video, he chillingly warns that the Venezuelan gangs are in for a rough ride if they continue to terrorize residents of the Windy City. This includes them getting potentially ‘chopped up’ if they don’t stay home.
