Trump Takes an Axe to Tax
Posted By: Mercedes44, 10/27/2024 11:02:16 AM
If you’ve been alive on Earth for a few decades, you’ve probably watched more than a few election cycles – both general and midterms, federal, state, and municipal. With that thought in mind, I have to ask – have you ever seen a politician win on the promise to raise your taxes? The answer to that, of course, is ‘no.’ Sure, during election time, liberals and Democrats will talk about the importance of certain programs for various perceived “needs,” causes, and crises – but they never get around to explaining what pays for those programs. The answer to that, of course, is ‘your money!’

There’s an old aphorism among leftists: if you’re not winning the argument, say it louder. If you’re getting killed in a factual debate, toss the logic and get emotional. Get angry. Throw anything you got, it doesn’t matter if it’s true, just keep screaming. Actually, I don’t know if that’s an old aphorism—I just made it up—but I see it time and time again, whether I’m arguing with a low-IQ progressive or reading what passes as the mainstream media these days. Although the New York Times has long lost its reputation as the paper of record—

Bad Bunny threw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday by sharing a video of the Democratic presidential nominee shortly after a comedian at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally made crude jokes about Latinos and called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” angering artists and some Hispanic Republicans. Bad Bunny, whose official name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is one of the most famous artists of the moment. His backing could be a boost for the Harris campaign as it tries to bolster its support with Latino voters, among whom Trump has been working to gain ground.
Former first lady Michelle Obama implied that people who don’t support Vice President Kamala Harris for president are sexist and racist, and she questioned if voters were “ready for this moment.”
During a Harris rally in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on Saturday, Obama spoke about how the race between Harris and former President Donald Trump was “too close.” The former first lady added that Harris was “an extraordinary human being” and candidate, and would be an “extraordinary president.”
I thought perhaps I’d seen and heard it all, and that those on The Left couldn’t possibly attain a higher level of hypocrisy and insanity.
I see now that I was mistaken.
There is batsh*t crazy … and then there is Mika Brzezinski crazy.
Mika used a recent Morning Joe broadcast on Fake News MSNBC to embark on a rant so unhinged and unmoored from reality that it boggles the mind. She bizarrely stated: “As important as Trump’s fascism is,” before asserting “it’s the lead story every day” and referring to “his cozying up to, uh, dictators.”
She not only called Trump a fascist, as if everyone know this unassailable fact,

Presidential Candidate in History' From

From her incoherent word salads to her puddle-sized understanding of the issues, Harris is dumber than Hillary, more boring than Hillary, and, ultimately, far more dangerous to the future of the United States and the world than Hillary Clinton.
This is not an exaggeration. After putting her up for president, the Democrats should be arrested for impersonating a political party. Unvetted by the electorate, Kamala Harris was manufactured in a media lab, probably at Columbia but the evidence is lacking. She's a Frankenstein monster whose personae have been carefully assembled, piece by piece, to reflect an America that doesn't exist except in the fever dreams of left-wing radicals.
President Biden described the current election cycle as “decency versus lack of decency,” and called former President Trump a “loser” during a campaign stop for Vice President Harris in the swing state of Pennsylvania.
“This is the most important election of our lifetime no matter how old or young you are,” Biden told the Pittsburg, Pa. audience members on Saturday. Not a joke, not a hyperbole, not about Democrat or Republican. This is decency versus lack of decency,” Biden declared. “This is about character.”
The president added Harris was a “clearer” choice for the position of commander-in-chief.
“The choice couldn’t be clearer. The choice couldn’t be more stark,” the president stated.
U.S. intel corroborated an exclusive USA TODAY report about how authorities believed Russia was behind the widely viewed pro-Trump, anti-Harris video. U.S. intelligence officials have confirmed that a viral video spreading online showing mail-in ballots being destroyed in the key battleground suburb of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, is a hoax perpetrated by Russia as part of its covert effort to help elect former President Donald Trump.
A federal official exclusively told USA TODAY on Friday that authorities believed that was the case, based on the specifics of the video and the fact that it was targeting Vice President Kamala Harris and trying to boost Trump's electoral chances.
It has been reasonably stated before. It is the one constant in an ever-changing universe when the political desperation reaches a certain point in the debate, leftists always use the “Hitler” card. The worn-out and overused pattern always repeats.
Earlier today, a desperate and diminished Democrat candidate for the office of the presidency reached the final phase of campaign futility. Taking to the podium directly outside the residence of the vice president, Kamala Harris said Donald Trump was Hitler. Trying to disprove a negative assertion framed as a wrap-up smear is futile.

Right now, a pair of gigantic, enormous, bigger-than-Aunt-Bertha stories are flying at warp speed. They’re moving so fast, they’ve mostly been overlooked.
The first story is the Democrats’ emerging buyer's remorse. As I detailed earlier, the dam cracked wide on that front over the past few days. We’re starting to see headlines like “What If Joe Biden was the better candidate all along?” “Forget Kamala Harris: Should Democrats Have Picked Michelle Obama?” “Even Dem Voters Show Signs of ‘Buyers Remorse’ Over Party’s Unprecedented Electoral Moves.” “Buyer’s Remorse in the Democratic Party Over Harris’s Weak Performance.”
CBS has shown its true colors.
The home of Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather is no longer just a biased news organization.
That’s too kind. For years, I’ve watched this network go from slanted reporting to straight-up propaganda, and now to sheer deceit. The past month has shown that Republicans should have nothing to do with it — and that former President Donald Trump is right to call attention to its chicanery with a threat of legal action.
First, CBS moderators broke the network’s own pledge not to fact-check during the vice-presidential debate, deliberately targeting GOP candidate J.D. Vance and doing so-
The folks at "Saturday Night Live" should probably just put Tim Walz on the payroll at this point, judging from his most recent and outlandishly laughable attack line. This time, his target was Elon Musk. Musk, of course, has hit the road in Pennsylvania, sporting a MAGA hat and rallying voters behind the Trump/Vance ticket. To leftists like Tim Walz, supporting Donald Trump makes you an enemy, and Elon Musk has settled comfortably into his position as their Public Enemy No. 2.
Musk is a bad guy to the pinko crowd because he took away their favorite playground, Twitter, and made it a place where, despite its issues,

Americans should prepare for “unrest’ if former President Donald Trump completes the greatest political comeback in modern American politics, Democrats told the Wall Street Journal on Monday.
The potential for Democrats to perpetrate political violence undermines their narrative that Republicans, and especially the America First movement, are a threat to democracy.
“I think there’ll be some violence. I think there’ll be workplace fights. There’ll be fights at kids’ birthday parties. I think they’ll be protests and will turn violent,” Mark Halperin recently told Tucker Carlson.
Resistance groups, according to the Journal’s Joshua Chaffin and Valerie Bauerlein, believe citizens should be “bracing for unrest” if Trump wins:
Nevada’s Supreme Court on Monday ruled mail-in ballots without postmarks can be counted three days after Election Day.
The Democrats use mail-in ballots to cheat so the Trump campaign and Nevada GOP filed a lawsuit against the Nevada Secretary of State arguing against the state’s law allowing mail-in ballots to be counted after the election.
Nevada state law allows mail-in ballots with postmarks to be counted up to four days after Election Day.

Vice President Kamala Harris said she would take a cognitive test in response to former president Donald Trump’s insults about her low intelligence, challenging her opponent to do the same.
Harris responded to Trump’s Friday remarks in a nearly three-hour interview with podcast king Joe Rogan, in which the GOP nominee called Harris “a very low IQ person” and said she needs to take a cognitive test.
“Sure, I would challenge him to take the same one,” Harris said when asked by CBS News anchor Norah O’Donnell over the weekend whether she’d take a cognitive test.
“This is what he has resorted to,
Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz had a love affair with the daughter of a Chinese Communist Party official during his teaching stint in Foshan that was so stormy it drove her to the brink of suicide, The Post has learned.

Defeat Conservative Republicans in Senate

The long political career of Mitch McConnell (R – KY) is winding down in the same manner as previous RINO Senators such as John McCain, Mitt Romney, Jeff Flake, Bob Corker, etc – with betrayal, vendettas, and a repudiation of the conservative base. McConnell, the current Senate Republican Leader is actively trying to defeat incumbent Senate conservatives who are running for re-election, and he is making it clear that his role in his final two years in Congress will be to align with Democrats to thwart President Trump should Trump be elected to a second term.
MAGA comedian Tony Hinchcliffe sparked fierce outrage after hurling insults against Latinos in a series of purported jokes during his opener at the Trump rally in Madison Square Garden Sunday.
“I welcome migrants to the United States with open arms and by open arms, I mean like this,” the “Kill Tony” podcast host told the crowd — with hand gestures signally “no.”
He added: “It’s wild and these Latinos love making babies too, just know that — they don’t do that. They come inside, just like they did to our country. Republicans are the party with a good sense of Hinchcliffe, 40, cackled after taking the swipe,

Disaster Area Block Emergency Early Voting Locations 17 replies
The havoc wrought by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina brought disaster to homes and families, but that has not stopped Democrats from blocking the approval of emergency early voting sites in the heavily Republican area. The refusal to act forced the GOP-led state legislature to intervene.
Democrat-run local elections boards in McDowell and Henderson counties have failed to approve additional early voting sites in the disaster-stricken area, despite increasing calls for more access to voting. Both counties voted for Donald Trump in 2020.
“Ensuring the right to vote is upheld for western NC citizens devastated by Hurricane Helene should be a non-partisan issue,
Multiple Republican lawmakers have denounced comments from a speaker at former President Trump’s rally in New York on Sunday about Puerto Rico.
At the rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe said “I don’t know if you know this but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now,” adding that he believes “it’s called Puerto Rico.” The comments from the comedian resulted in mixed reactions from the crowd.
In response to a report from The Hill on the comments,
On Sunday, Kamala Harris tried to mislead another church in Pennsylvania but was interrupted by one of the attendees who firmly rejected her.
Kamala opened her remarks in Church of Christian Compassion in West Philadelphia by invoking a religious duty to vote, suggesting that casting a ballot for her was aligned with God’s will—a statement that garnered both laughter and applause from the congregation.
“In just nine days, we have the power to decide the fate of our nation for generations to come. And on this beautiful Sunday morning, I am reminded God expects us to help Him,” Harris declared. “We got work to do.”

Well, I guess we can dispense with the quaint notion that unsecured steel "ballot boxes" deposited around California, Oregon, and Washington are secure. If anyone should hold those beliefs after reading what just happened in the Pacific Northwest, then you should probably have that person held on a 51-50 until they snap out of their delirium.
Overnight in Portland and Vancouver, in what are literally attacks on democracy, "incendiary devices" — IEDs — were used to incinerate "hundreds of ballots" in two ballot boxes overnight in Portland, Ore., and Vancouver, Wash.
Perhaps the stream of resignations at the Washington Post over the last few days will prove a feature rather than a bug for Jeff Bezos. After the Amazon multi-billionaire ordered the Post to pull its endorsement of Kamala Harris, staffers and editors erupted in outrage, while readers canceled subscriptions. Several staffers announced their intent to resign in protest over the paper's refusal to take an official stand against Donald Trump.
Having those staffers out of the way may help Bezos' reported overall strategy to restore ideological balance to his newspaper. The New York Times buried that in their report on Friday evening that Bezos intends to broaden interest
