Tax Foundation tax calculator shows EVERYONE'S personal taxes going UP if Biden lets Trump tax cuts expire

 A married couple with 2 kids and a modest combined income of $85k would realize a $1,661 tax increase if the Trump tax cuts are allowed to expire under Joe Biden. 

The tax calculator is here.

If you LOVED Joe Biden's inflation, wait til you enjoy his tax increase!

 

US Chamber of Commerce intends to sue Democrat-controlled FTC for passing rule 3-2 banning noncompete agreements

Congress has not given the agency explicit authority to ban noncompetes. ... The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the largest pro-business lobbying group in the country, has said it will sue to block the rule. ... While the dissenting commissioners said they did not support noncompete agreements carte blanche, they did not believe the agency had the authority to issue the rule without an express directive from Congress.

It's a BFD, as Joe would say.

Millions of American workers are not completely free to work where they may because of noncompete, nondisclosure, and confidentiality agreements they must sign as a condition of employment or as a condition of severance on termination of employment.

The FTC vote covers only the noncompete issue and represents an end run around Congress which has failed to pass appropriate legislation.

Drudge is obsessed with Elon Musk, who stole the eyeballs of the right from Drudge like Obama stole the Democratic nomination from Hillary

Look at all these stories this month screenshot this morning, and he's still at it this evening:

 

Kamala Harris, the biggest phony to ever hit the big time, and all she's gotta do is . . . act naturally

 

Thee horror

Megan Thee Stallion accused of harassment by cameraman, said forced to watch her have sex...

 

Abraham Lincoln was no Socrates, pretending that a man can be neither slave nor master

 "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy."

If a man is not a master of himself, however, he will be a slave . . . to his passions, which include the desire to rule others.

In The War Between The States we exchanged the one tyranny over the Negro for a still more universal and thorough-going tyranny of the self.

The only free man who exists is the one who can say No to himself.

Fine people on both sides hoax in the news: Biden says bad people on both sides lol

 Dershowitz: Biden Made "Same Moral Equivalence He Complained About In Charlottesville" On Hamas Protests

Scott Adams spearheaded exposure of the hoax from the beginning. There is hardly a constituency left in this country for preserving the statues and history of The Confederacy, except maybe in Donald Trump and people like YT.

Meanwhile the anti-Trump right like Stephen L. Miller and his ilk are happy to use fine people on both sides against Biden:

This is quite the concession about Abraham Lincoln

 Lincoln’s principled stance was one of the causes of the Civil War.

In other words, Lincoln forced the issue, which is what tyrants do.

Lincoln was not a peacemaker.

 

Update:

It's too bad Nikki Haley didn't say Lincoln was a cause of the Civil War during her failed presidential run. That would have been REALLY fun to watch.

Washington Free Beacon lol: "Abraham Lincoln could not conceive of wonder drugs"

Um, he took blue-mass, which made him angry as all hell but did alleviate his depression.

He could not conceive of "wonder drugs," which (had they been available) might have saved his son from dying of pneumonia.

Biden DOJ under Garland and FBI under Wray vigorously prosecute non-violent pro-lifers under the Face Act while turning a blind eye to hundreds of violent pro-abortion attacks

 

My organization has been highlighting this dangerous double-standard, warning Americans that the Justice Department and FBI are exploiting the FACE Act to target and harass individuals like Eva who stand in the way of their extremist agendas. 

Just this month, a man named Elliot Bennet set fire to a Catholic Church in New Jersey. This was the third time Bennet had committed acts of violence or vandalism against the church since 2018, the 21st attack on a Catholic Church in 2024, the 274th attack since May 2022 and the 412th attack since May 2020. 

Yet the same Justice Department that is fighting to throw Eva in jail failed to prosecute Bennet for these multiple and obvious FACE Act violations. It has also failed to federally prosecute a single one of the more than 400 egregious FACE Act violations against Catholic Churches since May 2020, or to meaningfully address the 90 attacks on pregnancy resource centers across the nation since May 2022. 

These attacks don’t involve prayer and hymns. They’ve involved fire-bombings and arson, vandalism of pregnancy clinics and churches, spray painted threats on clinic and church walls, decapitated statues, smashed glass, disrupted masses, blocking of church entrances and even physical attacks on priests and parishioners. They have cost at least $25 million in damages to Catholic Churches, while intimidating hundreds of peaceful Catholic and pro-life communities.

American utilities have used the pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war to price gouge the consumer for natural gas

American utilities have used the pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war to price gouge the consumer. 

Natural gas prices have nosedived 73% since 3Q2022 but utility prices stopped declining a year ago and are down just 14% from peak.

Utility gas actually increased in 4Q2023 and again in 1Q2024.

Look at all that air under the red line.  First time that's happened in decades.

People should be MAKING A STINK!

 

Barack Obama, austere religious scholar, has nothing to do with the current outbreak of anti-semitism at Columbia University

 

 “mostly, my years at Columbia were an intense period of study . . . I spent a lot of time in the library. I didn’t socialize that much. I was like a monk.”

Tucker Carlson commits seppuku on the ash heap of history

 

Joe Biden was just fine being the VP to the president who openly embraced the anti-semite last employed by the "Best Remnant of the Liberal Media"

 

ADL names most anti-semitic colleges: Harvard, MIT, MSU, Princeton, SUNY, Stanford, Swarthmore, Tufts, Universities of Chicago, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and Virginia

 

Just two of 85 institutions met the minimum standard, meaning most institutions of higher learning in the United States are Not Safe For Jews.

The white supremacy over blacks and Jews the Democrats keep warning us lurks in the fever swamps of rural America is endemic to the most prestigious institutions Democrats control. 

The Hamas wing of the Democrat Party thrives in academia in the United States.

Reported here:

The campuses that received an "F" grade include Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Michigan State University, Princeton University, SUNY Purchase, SUNY Rockland Community College, Stanford University, Swarthmore College, Tufts University, University of Chicago, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and the University of Virginia.

The $26.4 billion Israel/Gaza et alia Security Supplemental Appropriations Act passed yesterday 366-58-0-7, with Nay votes from 21 Republicans

 The roll call vote is here.

The 21 Republicans voting Nay:

The $60.8 billion Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act passed yesterday 311-112-1-7, all the Nay votes being Republicans

 The roll call vote is here.

Just a hypothetical here: $60.8 billion / $1.3 billion per night of Russian air assaults (compare Iran attack on Israel) = 46 nights.

The $8.1 billion Indo-Pacific Security Supplemental Appropriation for Taiwan et alia passed yesterday 385-34-1-11, all the Nays being Republicans

 The roll call vote is here.

I would have reported in real time but Blogger had a major outage yesterday afternoon lasting several hours.
