The Poor Became Poorer Under Biden
Posted By: RockyTCB, 10/3/2025 9:02:16 AM
Never trust a politician who promises to help the poor by taking from the rich. It never works. Joe Biden proved this point. While still in the White House, Biden promised that if reelected, he would levy a billionaire tax on the wealthiest Americans. It wasn’t the first time. During his 2023 State of the Union address, he railed that “the tax system is not fair, it’s not fair.” A year earlier, he proposed a “billionaire minimum income tax.” Even before he was president, Biden was fond of demanding that the rich pay their “fair share,” which makes a snappy

Trump Should Use TDS To His Advantage

We have long marveled at the virulence of Trump Derangement Syndrome. So why doesn’t the president use it to his own – and the nation’s – benefit?
In matters big and small, if President Donald Trump says one thing, masses of leftists and never-Trumpers will insist the opposite is true.
After Trump suggested that pregnant women not take Tylenol because it could pose an autism risk to their unborn children, expectant moms swarmed social media with videos of themselves downing the painkiller.
After the Trump administration announced it would approve an old drug as a treatment for autism, CBS News went back and altered
You Call This A Shutdown?

Once again, we are being treated to a fusillade of stories about the horrors of a government shutdown. But we invite readers to consider this: Roughly two-thirds of government spending will continue despite the “shutdown.”
In other words, there is absolutely no reason for Republicans to cave on Democratic demands that Medicaid benefits for illegals and Obamacare subsidies for higher-income families be restored.
The longer the federal government remains shut down, the more people will realize how meaningless it is, and the less leverage Democrats will have.
Computer industry executives, economists, government officials and businesspeople all seem to be very high on the prospects for artificial intelligence (AI). But what about average Americans? They mostly believe AI should be feared, not embraced, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
To kick off the three-question national online poll on AI, I&I/TIPP first asked 1,362 Americans the following: “Do you think artificial intelligence (AI) will mostly create new jobs, mostly take away jobs, or not make much difference?”
It wasn’t close. Just 17% responded that AI would create jobs,
Last week, Google admitted to Congress that it served as the Biden administration’s censorship enforcer. Which is bad enough. But then it followed up this admission with a lie.
In a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, the tech colossus said that under pressure from the administration, it silenced voices that were challenging Joe Biden’s COVID-19 policies.
“Senior Biden administration officials, including White House officials, conducted repeated and sustained outreach to Alphabet and pressed the Company regarding certain user-generated content related to the COVID-19
Left-Wing Terrorism Has Been Unleashed
13 replies
For years, we were told by government officials and outside “experts” that the terrorists in our midst were mostly right-wing fanatics – a list that under the Biden administration came to include parents who spoke up at local school board meetings and Catholics who like the Latin mass.
But even the left is now admitting what everyone else already knows.
Namely, that despite their constant bleating about tolerance and peace, it’s leftists who pose the greatest threat to Americans.
This week, the Trump-hating Atlantic magazine published an article titled “Left-Wing Terrorism Is on the Rise,” written by scholars at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
Does California Want To Start A Civil War?
20 replies
The California Legislature passed, and Gov. Gavin Newsom eagerly signed, a bill that forbids law enforcement officers from concealing their identities with masks. The law applies to local as well as federal officers, but it’s clearly intended to make it easier to dox federal immigration agents. Of course the administration says it will ignore the law. So what happens when local and state officers try to enforce it?
A war?
California also forbids federal agents from enforcing immigration law in state courthouses. Again, the potential for blue-on-blue violence is ramped up by a Democratic

With violent crime unchecked in major American cities, President Donald Trump has moved to lower thefts, assaults and murders by providing federal help to besieged local police. How do Americans feel about this? They mostly favor local control, but don’t entirely reject federal involvement in local policing, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
September’s national online I&I/TIPP Poll asked 1,362 adults: “President Trump has moved to take control of the Washington, D.C., police. Do you mostly favor or mostly oppose the federal government running local police departments?”

Disney Caves, Nobody Wins

Perhaps Mark Ruffalo really does think he has an indestructible giant lurking inside his insufferable jerk exterior. After all, not long after he posted that on Threads, Disney executives reversed course and decided to put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air.
But don’t expect Disney stock to suddenly bounce back, or subscriptions to Disney+ to surge. Mark Ruffalo is no Warren Buffett.
Yes, Disney’s stock price had gone down 3% since last Wednesday, when the Disney-owned ABC gave Kimmel the boot.
But so what?
Disney stock plunged 38% after the company decided to step into the political swamp in early 2022
It’s been amusing to watch the left’s reaction to ABC giving the boot to Jimmy Kimmel.
Not because of their rank hypocrisy when it comes to censorship. Or their claim that firing a low-rated late-night “comic” means “authoritarianism has arrived.” Or the fact that they are far more outraged that Kimmel lost his time slot than that Charlie Kirk lost his life over things they said.
What’s most amusing is how blissfully ignorant they are about how the news and entertainment industry works these days.
First, let’s dispense with the censorship ruse. ABC is a private company and is entitled
Given the national anguish and pain over the assassination of Charlie Kirk, you might think that the leftist big media would at least be treading softly right now, especially given the overwhelming evidence that’s already been made public about Kirk’s alleged assassin. But you would be wrong.
We’ve already addressed the lies and exaggerations told about Kirk to somehow justify his murder. Now the left is trying to come up with a counter-narrative about his assassin. Kirk wasn’t murdered by an unhinged leftist; he was killed by a MAGA adherent. It’s a lie on stilts.
Let’s start with what we know:
Learning To Love ‘Hate Speech’
9 replies
Almost as soon as Attorney General Pam Bondi said that federal law enforcement would target anyone for hate speech, she was backpedaling amid backlash from across the political spectrum.
It was a rare and welcome instance where both sides of a deeply divided nation came to agree on something. But how long will it last?
On a podcast, Bondi said, “There’s free speech and then there’s hate speech, and there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie, in our society….We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech.”

Hamas on Friday agreed to release all Israeli hostages — living and dead — but wants to negotiate the other terms of President Trump’s comprehensive peace deal even after the commander in chief said there was “not much” room for discussion. [Snip] “Based on the Statement just issued by Hamas, I believe they are ready for a lasting PEACE,” Trump said in a statement posted to his Truth Social page.
The commander in chief later posted a short video on Truth, calling Friday a “very special, maybe unprecedented” day, while thanking countries including Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan for their help in hammering out the proposed peace deal.
The Liberal government's compensated confiscation campaign aimed at removing the vast majority of semi-automatic firearms from the hands of legal gun owners has officially begun, with a pilot program in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia launching on Wednesday.
The "buyback" effort is aimed at taking thousands of models of semi-automatic firearms away from their once-lawful owners, who risk criminal charges if they're caught in possession of their firearms once the government's amnesty period has expired.
[snip] He said after the program ends and there are no more buybacks, police will know who still has banned guns, so he may as well comply now and get something for it.
BOSTON — A federal appeals court in Boston ruled on Friday that the Trump administration cannot withhold citizenship from children born to people in the country illegally or temporarily, adding to the mounting legal setbacks for the president’s birthright order.
A three-judge panel of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals became the fifth federal court since June to either issue or uphold orders blocking the president’s birthright order. The court concluded that the plaintiffs are likely to succeed on their claims that the children described in the order are entitled to birthright citizenship under the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment.
Pastor Speaks Out After Muslims Take Over

Chapel at Dallas Airport and Block Him
from Entering 21 replies
When Pastor Tom Ascol first heard about a “prayer service” at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, he admitted that he had “very low expectations.”
Even Ascol couldn’t have foreseen how badly this “prayer service” would miss even his low expectations.
Ascol gained quite a bit of virality recently when he recounted an infuriating experience he had at DFW Airport:
Ascol revealed that he was at that airport as he was waiting to fly back home after seeing the family of Voddie Baucham, a titan of Christianity who recently passed away.
“As I await my flight home from seeing Voddie’s family an announcement in [DFW Airport] says ‘all are welcome’ to a ‘prayer service’ in the chapel,”
A group calling itself “Friends Against Fascism Organization” announced it would hold a “tailgate” party on the University of Virginia campus Friday evening to burn American flags while serving “burgers, dogs and refreshing beverages.” White House rapid response strategist Greg Price shared the group’s flyer on X. However, the legitimacy of the “organization” planning the protest in the parking lot prior to a UVA volleyball match Friday night remains unclear. The university has never heard of the group.
The event is ostensibly in response to President Donald Trump’s executive order in August to prosecute flag burning when it incites violent crime.

They can’t stop it. They’re powerless. And we don’t care if you’re upset. The memes will continue until the government reopens. It’s asymmetrical warfare—I love it. The Democrats never expected to be hit like this during the Schumer shutdown, and it shows. They are seething over President Trump’s trolling of Democrats over their little show here. Liberals want $1.5 trillion for illegal alien health care and NPR funding. That’s the crux of why they decided to shut down DC. When talks failed, Trump posted a video of Hakeem Jeffries, K-Mart Obama, standing next to Chuck Schumer with a moustache and a sombrero, where the latter rattled off reasons
An FBI Agent was fired for refusing to arrest and perp walk James Comey, according to Reuters.
Per Reuters: “An FBI agent was relieved of duty for declining to arrange a “perp walk” of the bureau’s former director, James Comey, in front of news media cameras after Comey was federally charged last month, four people briefed on the matter said on Friday.”
Comey will be arraigned on October 9. His case was assigned to US District Judge Michael Nachmanoff, a Biden appointee.
MSNBC also confirmed that the FBI agent was fired for refusing to perp walk Comey in front of news cameras after he was indicted.

‘Charlie Kirk’s Killer’ 17 replies
A student television network at the University of Delaware, which houses the Biden Institute, offered "SPECIAL THANKS" to "CHARLIE KIRK'S KILLER" at the end of a comedy program, then quickly and quietly removed the joke from the episode.
The credits for last week’s episode of the Biweekly Show, a student comedy program produced under the university’s supervision, included a "special thanks" section with entries like "COCAINE," "AMNESTY WEEK," "VIOLENCE"—and "CHARLIE KIRK'S KILLER." Delaware Republican Party executive director Nick Miles told the Washington Free Beacon the video was uploaded to YouTube the evening of Sept. 25 and replaced with a version that omitted the credits the following afternoon. The episode does, however,
The religion of Islam teaches that raping and killing non-Muslims is a holy and necessary action. Is it any surprise, therefore, that some of the Muslim immigrants to Europe and America admit frankly that their goal is, quite simply, conquest and transformation?
San Diego Imam Uthman Ibn Farooq delivered an address in Birmingham, Great Britain, which should chill the heart of every American patriot. America and Europe will be Muslim, the imam excitedly predicted, urging his fellow Muslims not to water down a single word of their religion, which includes explicit commands to rape, assault, conquer, and murder “infidels.” The imam even referenced a desire to be a “martyr,”
Thursday on MSNBC’s “All In,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said President Donald Trump’s second term has become “the worst crisis in America literally since the Civil War.”
Host Chris Hayes said, “You’ve have been in you’ve served in Congress, in the Senate, you served through a number of different administrations with different presidents. I’ve covered a number of shutdowns. I’ve never seen a president during a shutdown kind of gloating about the ability to punish people or to take stuff away from people in states that didn’t vote for him. Have you seen that before?
The Department of Energy canceled a $630.6 million Biden-era grant that would have funded green energy projects in California, and which Gov. Gavin Newsom (D.) praised as "critical" to the state, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
According to internal agency documents, Trump Energy Department officials determined that the grant would have been used primarily to support new solar and wind energy projects. State leaders said they planned to use the funding to upgrade 100 miles of transmission lines to enable more green energy to come online as part of the California Energy Commission's so-called CHARGE 2T program.

The Democrats appear to have miscalculated on triggering a government shutdown by a vast measure, which we started to see in motion mere hours after the Schumer Shutdown began on Oct. 1.
Then as my colleague Ward Clark wrote earlier on Thursday, President Trump signaled in a Truth Social post he was eager to sit down with OMB head Vought in the afternoon, to dig into what extraneous government spending might get cut--especially anything prized by the Democrats. We may have had a preview of this, though, from something Vought posted on his X account on Wednesday afternoon --
