Watch: Liberals Sign Petition to Support White Privilege Tax

/0 Comments/in , /by

Mark Dice’s latest ‘man on the street’ stunt is perhaps his most outrageous yet, proving that leftists will advocate unbridled insanity so long as they are told it’s in the name of fighting racism.

Asked to sign the petition to support a 1% income tax on all white Americans in order to “even out the playing field” and redistribute the wealth amongst minority communities, the first man in the clip is incredulous that such a policy would pass but signs his name to it anyway.

After a Puerto Rican man signs the petition, another individual who admits he is a non resident asks for clarification, remarking, “so in other words, tax the white man?” before signing the paper.

“We’re gonna take the silver spoon out of the white people’s mouths and put it back into yours,” Dice tells an African American man who enthusiastically signs the petition before stating, “appreciate it, man!”

A man wearing sunglasses then seems even more keen to support the white privilege tax, telling Dice, “You’re the kind of white dude I like, thank you…white dudes that promote this kind of stuff are aware of the white privilege.” (Read more from “Liberals Sign Petition to Support White Privilege Tax” HERE)

Fannie, Freddie Loom as Liabilities for Clinton Amid Fears of Another Bailout

/2 Comments/in , /by

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are hurtling toward another possible taxpayer bailout, a development that could put an uncomfortable election light on the Clintons’ record of enabling the government-backed mortgage giants to engage in risky practices that led to the 2007 financial crisis.

There is growing consensus in financial circles that the seeds of the mortgage market collapse were sown during Bill Clinton’s presidency in the mid-1990s. That was when he helped push through changes that empowered Fannie and Freddie to give more mortgages to minorities and lower-income Americans, often at below-prime interest rates and with little down payments.

When the Federal Reserve and other respected voices began warning a decade ago that those changes were threatening the mortgage markets, Hillary Rodham Clinton joined fellow Democratic senators, including Barack Obama and John F. Kerry, in providing the votes to block Republican reforms designed to stave off a collapse.

The one-two punch could prove a political liability for Mrs. Clinton’s presidential bid, portraying her and her husband as facilitators for highly compensated mortgage brokers and undercutting her argument that she has been a longtime champion of the middle class.

“I certainly think we’re going down the path of another bailout of the mortgage market. If we keep on this path, it’s inevitable. It’s a concern people have,” said Mark Calabria, director of financial regulation studies at the Cato Institute. “It’s going to be a tough needle for her to thread — people on the left still believe Fannie and Freddie was a good model and that the housing crisis was all about Wall Street greed. She’s got a tough road to walk on this.” (Read more from “Fannie, Freddie Loom as Liabilities for Clinton Amid Fears of Another Bailout” HERE)

One-Time Aide to China’s Ex-President Accused of Corruption, Report Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

Chinese authorities have arrested a former top official in a corruption investigation after expelling him from the ruling Communist Party, state-run Xinhua news agency reported Monday.

Party investigators have accused Ling Jihua, 58, once a top aide to former President Hu Jintao, of accepting huge bribes, illegally obtaining party and state secrets, as well as keeping mistresses and trading power for sex, Xinhua said.

From 2007 to 2012, Ling was the director of the Communist Party Central Committee’s General Office under Hu — a position often compared to the White House chief of staff — making him an extremely powerful politician in China’s one party-dominated political system . . .

Party investigators have sent Ling’s case to the China’s highest prosecution authority, which is conducting its own investigation, Xinhua reported. (Read more from “One-Time Aide to China’s Ex-President Accused of Corruption, Report Says” HERE)

LA Times: Obama Moving to Ban Millions of Social Security Recipients From Owning Guns

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Obama administration wants to keep people collecting Social Security benefits from owning guns if it is determined they are unable to manage their own affairs, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The push, which could potentially affect millions whose monthly disability payments are handled by others, is intended to bring the Social Security Administration in line with laws that prevent gun sales to felons, drug addicts, immigrants in the United States illegally, and others, according to the paper.

The language of federal gun laws restricts ownership to people who are unable to manage their own affairs due to “marked subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease” – which could potentially affect a large group within Social Security, the LA Times reported.

If Social Security, which has never taken part in the background check system, uses the same standard as the Department of Veterans Affairs – which is the idea floated – then millions of beneficiaries could be affected, with about 4.2 million adults receiving monthly benefits that are managed by “representative payees.”

The latest move is part of the efforts by President Obama to strengthen gun control following the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in 2012. (Read more from “Obama Looks to Ban Social Security Recipients From Owning Guns” HERE)

Leftist Rag Announces They Are Banning Donald Trump From Political Coverage

By Matthew K. Burke. Leftist news site The Huffington Post announced on Friday that it will censor Donald Trump from political coverage from the publication, even though recent polls show Trump is currently leading the field of over a dozen 2016 Republican presidential candidates.

Sounding like a Soviet politburo, Huffpo’s Washington Bureau Chief Ryan Grim and Editorial Director Danny Shea released the following statement, a clear attempt to discredit the GOP frontrunner, stating that Trump’s candidacy is a “sideshow” and claimed they would not “take the bait.”

Instead of unbiasedly reporting news about Trump’s campaign alongside other presidential candidates, Huffpo announced that news about Trump would be relegated to the “Entertainment” section “next to our stories on the Kardashians and The Bachelorette.” (Read more from this story HERE)

/1 Comment/in , /by

Professional surfer Mick Fanning survived a shark attack during an international competition in South Africa on Sunday after fighting off the animal with his fists.

The Australian, 34, was paddling his board out of the shallows when the animal’s fin emerged alongside him.

During a heart-stopping 15 seconds broadcast on live television, Fanning was knocked off his board and tussled with the unidentified species of shark, using his board as a shield as he punched the animal on the back.

Back on dry land, he said: “I was just sitting there and I felt something just get stuck in my leg rope, and I was kicking trying to get it away. I punched him in the back”.

“I instantly just jumped away. It kept coming at my board and I was kicking and screaming. I just saw fins. I was waiting for the teeth.” (Read more from “Watch the Moment Surfer Mick Fanning Was Attacked by Shark During Competition” HERE)

Clintons Facilitated Donor’s Haiti Project That Defrauded US out of Millions

/3 Comments/in , /by

A federal agency rushed to approve funding for a Clinton donor’s sham Haiti recovery project that ended up defrauding the U.S. government out of millions, according to court transcripts and internal government documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Miami businessman Claudio Osorio, who is currently serving 12 years in federal prison on fraud charges, leveraged his relationship with Bill and Hillary Clinton to help his company InnoVida obtain a $10 million loan from the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) for a Haiti housing project in 2010.

OPIC is an independent government agency that submits its annual budget requests through the State Department and works closely with the agency.

Bill Clinton helped arrange for a high-powered Florida law firm to represent Osorio during loan negotiations with OPIC, according to court testimony. An internal OPIC memo said Hillary Clinton was prepared to marshal State Department resources to assist with the donor’s project.

InnoVida was supposed to use the funding to build houses in Haiti after the earthquake, but it defaulted on the loan and the homes were never built. (Read more from “Clintons Facilitated Donor’s Haiti Project That Defrauded US out of Millions” HERE)
