Biden - Harris Capital Gains Tax

Some observations: 91-Days of Chaos. Biden-Harris cap tax increase impacts all wage earners via retirement savings - 401k growth slows, causing a 2 to 5-year delay in reaching your retirement goals - slow market growth and capital gains tax on distributions. Look out below. Thanks, Joe! @ POTUS @ VP It's a train wreck and will keep middle-class and blue-collar people working well past any "normal" retirement age. It will add at least a 2 to 5 years delay to a modest retirement plan, regardless of income bracket.

20,000 Young Migrants Crowd Shelters, Not a crisis for Biden WH

NYTimes reports; "President Biden’s administration, facing a surge of migrants, is under intensifying pressure to expand its capacity to care for unaccompanied minors." "The numbers are daunting: There could be more than 35,000 children to care for by June. The crisis has broad political and human ramifications."  (NYTimes story above is behind a paywall - sorry) There have been several reports, that the possibility (100%) of this crisis occurring was discussed in November with the incoming Biden-Harris administration team.   It's all about politics, not about the human suffering that Biden's action has caused. Biden's 47-year record of political failures continues at great human expense. CBP estimated expenses on a weekly basis to care and feed the children are now at $60,000,000 per week ($60 million!) That figure will double by June. This will soon be a $4-5 billion yearly expense. Imagine how those funds could have been put to use to help our own hom...

McDonald's to hire 25,000 staff in Texas this month.

McDonald's to hire 25,000 staff in Texas this month. McDonald’s Corp said on Thursday it would hire 25,000 people in its restaurants across Texas in April.  "The Day Ahead" for Monday, April 10, 2020 Reports full link here;   TDA_NAM.pdf (thomsonreuters.com) The burger chain said it will hire for crew and management positions in a three-day event from April 13-15.  Last year, McDonald’s hired around 260,000 restaurant staff in the United States when stores reopened for diners after serving them through delivery, drive-thru and take-a-way for weeks due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  McDonald’s, which owns about 14,000 restaurants in the United States, hires thousands of restaurant employees every summer across the country, drawing several high-school and college students for the job.  --#30-- Editor:  As the Biden-Harris team would say - more jobs for displaced energy workers are available. It's a win-win.

Well, they don't call him Uncle Sam for nothing.

Well - they don't call him Uncle Sam for nothing... American homeless left behind - Thank Biden-Harris @ POTUS @ VP Biden Considering Cash Payments to Central Americans To Slow Illegal Entry. https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2021/04/09/biden-considering-paying-central-americans-not-to-enter-us-illegally-n358378 One Twitter user suggested that; " Folks can use that cash to pay the coyotes for their trip north." Quoted material follows (use link above to article): Have you been wondering what Kamala Harris was doing after she was tasked to deal with the borders issues and slowing the surge from Central American countries? We heard that she spoke to one Central American leader and that was about it. She hasn’t done one press conference on the issue. Instead, she seems to be traveling pretty much everywhere else except the border, taking trips to California and to Chicago where she got some baked goods as a snack. Meanwhile, the border is still imploding. But the word is out ...

California - Like Avocado Toast.

There's a new bill (California) to let the target of a recall get the list of signatories so they can be harassed into recanting. Nothing terrifies our political class like a free and fair vote.

Once obscure, the Senate filibuster is coming under fresh scrutiny

Once obscure, the Senate filibuster is coming under fresh scrutiny not only because of the enormous power it gives a single senator to halt President Joe Biden’s agenda but as a tool historically used for racism. Senators and those advocating for changes to the practice say the procedure that allows endless debate is hardly what the founders intended, but rather a Jim Crow-relic whose time is up. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/politics/groups-pressure-senate-to-end-filibuster-as-jim-crow-relic/2635504/ Observation - consider the source for this article; AP propaganda (a sad demise to a once-great wire). Help us Obi-Wan Kenobi (Manchin). You're our only hope. Filibuster? The Democrats had no problem with the Senate rules when they needed it. The clock is ticking 578 days until mid-term elections and they are in trouble.

The salacious contents of the Hunter Biden laptop are beginning to surface.

The salacious contents of the Hunter Biden laptop are beginning to surface. "Might not be his laptop" said CNN/MSNBC. It's not looking good for Hunter (or the press). Do I care? Not really, it's not news if you suspected it all along. Help us Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're our only hope. Reports of the contents are damning. HunterGate has begun.

Hunter Biden calls laptop 'red herring' during 'Jimmy Kimmel' appearance

Hunter Biden calls laptop 'red herring' during 'Jimmy Kimmel' appearance. Imagine that... "When the left says ' red herring ' it's usually not." Here, Hunter says the laptop is intended to be misleading or distracting. He's not even sure that it's his laptop, despite the evidence to the contrary (signed receipt for service, numerous personal emails, private telephone numbers, etc.).  One email sent to Biden on May 13, 2017, with the subject line “Expectations,” included details of “remuneration packages” for six people involved in an unspecified business venture. Biden was identified as “Chair / Vice Chair depending on agreement with CEFC,” an apparent reference to the former Shanghai-based conglomerate CEFC China Energy Co. His pay was pegged at “850” and the email also noted that “Hunter has some office expectations he will elaborate.” In addition, the email outlined a “provisional agreement” under which 80 percent of the “equity,” or sha...

We have an old saying in our family when complaints are lodged: "strong letter to follow."

  We have an old saying in our family when complaints are lodged: "strong letter to follow." Time to drag lame-duck Pelosi and mini-emperor Schumer down to the area to witness this tragedy first hand. 579 days until mid-term elections, we will remember. Grassley, Cornyn Call For Hearings About Border Crisis WASHINGTON – Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and John Cornyn (R-Texas), Ranking Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, and Border Safety, are urging their Democrat counterparts to schedule hearings about the ongoing crisis on the southern border.   The senators today wrote to Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Subcommittee Chairman Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) requesting an open hearing on the circumstances at the border, to include testimony from Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and component agency officials charged with managing the crisis. https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/gras...

Everything Is ‘Infrastructure’ To A Party That Seeks To Dominate Your Life

  Everything Is ‘Infrastructure’ To A Party That Seeks To Dominate Your Life APRIL  8, 2021 By  Gabe Kaminsky The Biden administration unveiled a roughly $2.25 trillion dollar “infrastructure” plan in Pittsburgh last week. Dubbed “The American Jobs Plan,” the initiative would run for eight years and allocate yet more money the U.S. government does not have to expand the role of government at the expense of the American taxpayer. Biden Thinks Infrastructure Means More Than it Really Does https://thefederalist.com/2021/04/08/everything-is-infrastructure-to-a-party-that-seeks-sheer-domination-of-your-livelihood/

Okay, but Jen Psaki said this was a rare occurrence, so I’m sure everything is fine...

So terrorists crossed the border, career officials announced it and political appointees deleted it...?! Can't make it up. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki refers reporters to CBP & DHS about the terror watch list apprehensions at the border. ....hours after CBP deleted their own press release on the issue. You know that thing about cockroaches*? Cockroaches are excellent at hiding and the one you've seen may be a sign that there are others nearby. They rarely live alone – and there are consequences for making a wrong or overly-slow decision. *Terrorists.

Imagine that...you don't say....
