Biden’s Ridiculous Plan Would Tax Wealthy Estates as Much as 67%

/0 Comments/in , /by

Joe Biden would tax the estates of wealthy individuals at a rate as high as 67%, according to an analysis by the Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan think tank that examines the tax code.

That high rate is a combination of Biden’s plans for raising the capital gains and estate taxes for people who earned over $1 million annually before death.

Under Biden’s plan, unrealized capital gains would be taxed at 43.3% at death. That rate includes taxing those gains at ordinary income tax rates, which would be raised to 39.6% under the former vice president’s plan. It also includes a net investment income tax of 3.8%.

Biden would also lower the exemption for the estate tax to $3.5 million and raise the rate to 45%. Today, the exemption is set at over $11 million for individuals, and the rate is 40%. (Read more from “Biden’s Ridiculous Plan Would Tax Wealthy Estates as Much as 67%” HERE)

Obama, Biden Lob Personal Attacks at Trump, President Fires Back on Twitter

/1 Comment/in , /by

. . .Former Vice President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama made their first joint 2020 campaign stop on Saturday afternoon in Flint before heading to Detroit. They hit Trump hard on his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and said it’s time to restore decency to the White House. . .

Obama took to the stage first Saturday night to throw his backing behind Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. “The presidency doesn’t actually change who you are, it just reveals who you are,” Obama said.

“Look, I knew Donald Trump wasn’t going to agree with me. But I did think he was going to take it seriously.” . . .

Trump, campaigning in Pennsylvania on Saturday, hit back on Biden and Obama by trying to link them to the Flint water crisis and accepting the endorsement of former GOP Gov. Rick Snyder who was in office when lead from aging pipes leached into Flint’s water supply. State and local officials in Michigan were charged with crimes related to the contaminated water, though charges against eight of those people have since been dismissed.

Election Interference: Facebook Manually Censored Biden Corruption Bombshell

/1 Comment/in , /by

A report published this week alleges that Facebook manually censored the New York Post bombshell story about Biden family corruption. According to the Guardian, Facebook moderators manually overrode the platform’s automatic processes to censor the Post, an effort that successfully censored about half of the engagement the article would have received, according to researchers.

According to a report by the Guardian, internal documents from Facebook suggest that the platform intentionally restricted the distribution of a New York Post report that allegedly revealed ties between Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and a Ukrainian energy company. The suppression was not automatic or based on Facebook’s AI and algorithmic approach to content, but rather done by hand by Facebook moderators.

This does not come as a surprise as some Facebook executives announced their decision to restrict the distribution of the report. In a tweet, Facebook’s Policy Communications Director Andy Stone said that the story would be restricted in some form on the platform.

“While I will intentionally not link to the New York Post, I want be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by Facebook’s third-party fact checking partners. In the meantime, we are reducing its distribution on our platform,” Stone wrote in a tweet on October 14.

Joe Biden Confirms He’ll Curb Religious Freedoms With Claims of ‘Discrimination’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden essentially confirmed that he will impose curbs on religious freedoms under the guise of prohibiting discrimination against protected groups.

In an interview with the Philadelphia Gay News published Wednesday, Biden blasted the Trump administration’s religious freedom policies, claiming they provided “hate” a “safe harbor” as a vehicle of “discrimination.”

“Donald Trump and Mike Pence have given hate against LGBTQ+ individuals safe harbor and rolled back critical protections for the LGBTQ+ community,” the former vice president said.

“By blocking the ability of transgender individuals to openly serve their country, denying LGBTQ+ people access to critical health care, proposing policies allowing federally funded homeless shelters to turn away transgender people and federally funded adoption agencies to reject same-sex couples, and failing to address the epidemic of violence against transgender people — particularly transgender women of color — the Trump-Pence Administration has led a systematic effort to undo the progress President Obama and I made,” he added. . .

Biden accused the Trump administration and the president in particular of “deliberately [trying] to gut protections for the LGBTQ+ community by creating broad religious exemptions to existing nondiscrimination laws and policies that allow businesses, medical providers, and adoption agencies to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people.” (Read more from “Joe Biden Confirms He’ll Curb Religious Freedoms With Claims of ‘Discrimination’” HERE)

These Potential Biden Cabinet Members Should Terrify Capitalists

/0 Comments/in , /by

In hopes of a Joe Biden presidency, far left radicals of the Democrat Party are chomping at the bit of power in Washington D.C. . .

The Warren news comes on the heels of reports Socialist Bernie Sanders is gunning for Labor Secretary.

Sen. Bernie Sanders is hoping to be a part of Joe Biden’s potential administration and has expressed a particular interest in becoming Labor secretary, two people familiar with the conversations tell POLITICO.

“I can confirm he’s trying to figure out how to land that role or something like it,” said one person close to the Vermont senator. “He, personally, does have an interest in it.”

Adding fuel to the fire, Democrat vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris — who was rated the most liberal Senator on Capitol Hill — will have a heavy policy influence in a Biden administration. (Read more from “These Potential Biden Cabinet Members Should Terrify Capitalists” HERE)

Biden Team Fails To Deliver Early Turnout Numbers in Critical County

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democrats are turning out at lower rates than Republicans in Florida’s largest county, Miami-Dade, after Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s campaign pared down field operations because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Campaign operatives told Politico that door-to-door efforts to persuade voters to jump on the Biden bandwagon were at a standstill and without funding — despite record-breaking fundraising hauls by the campaign — for months leading up to the final stretch before Election Day.

“We did not get the kind of funding for different vendors who would do that type of work until late in the campaign,” Rep. Frederica Wilson, who represents Miami’s heavily Black congressional district, told Politico.

In Miami-Dade, 152,964 registered Republicans cast early ballots, leading Democratic voters, 146,371 of whom turned out early to the polls, according to state data on Friday.

Meanwhile, Democrats who mailed in their ballots in the county nearly doubled that of Republicans, 208,803 to 116,040. (Read more from “Biden Team Fails To Deliver Early Turnout Numbers in Critical County” HERE)

Elizabeth Warren Wants This Biden Administration Position

/1 Comment/in , /by

Elizabeth Warren wants to be Joe Biden’s Treasury secretary and will make her case for it if he wins next week, according to three Democratic officials who have spoken with her inner circle. . .

Warren’s moves could set up the marquee fight between the party’s left and its center over what will be one of the most consequential Cabinet roles in the next administration. The Treasury Department will be tasked with steering the U.S. economy out of a deep recession, even as the country continues to struggle with the coronavirus pandemic.

Other leading contenders for the Treasury slot include Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard; Sarah Bloom Raskin, a former Treasury Department official; and Roger Ferguson, former Federal Reserve vice chairman and current CEO of financial services giant TIAA.

Tapping Warren would rally progressives who have been pushing — some quietly, others loudly — for her to get the role. But it would also likely draw strong opposition from Wall Street and some moderate Democrats. (Read more from “Elizabeth Warren Wants This Biden Administration Position” HERE)

The Electoral College Prediction That Will Leave the Left ‘Terribly Shocked’

/1 Comment/in , , /by

We’re either right or wrong. There is no in-between here concerning the polls. These liberal outlets are oversampling Democrats, ignoring Trump Democrats, not accounting for fewer young voters turning out, and including way too many college-educated voters to craft a narrative that this country holds a D+15 electorate. It’s just not true. Trump Democrats are being ignored. Rural Republicans are being bypassed. The suburban cohort of the GOP—sure. They’re the squishiest and most vocally anti-Trump of the group. At Trump’s rallies, around 25 percent of the attendees didn’t vote in 2016. Some firms haven’t even moved off from registered voter samples. It’s a trainwreck. Biden is supposedly ahead by double-digits, which his camp says is not true. They’re admitting the polls are inflated, which could also be a ploy to keep their base anxious and ready to vote. They don’t want complacency to settle in like it did in 2016. Yet, the rule hasn’t changed: never underestimate anything when Trump is on the ballot and at the top of the ticket.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is also feeling good about President Trump’s chances for re-election. Appearing on Fox News’ Sean Hannity’s show, the former speaker said that the Electoral College result will shock the Left. He has Trump clinching another Electoral College landslide, nabbing 326 electoral votes (via RealClearPolitics):

Newt Gingrich said the left is going to be shocked by a Trump victory and said an electoral map showing the incumbent president with 326 electoral votes seems right to him in an interview Wednesday night with FNC’s Sean Hannity.

“He has a better likelihood than he did at this stage in 2016 when he was clearly behind and closing rapidly,” Gingrich said. “The people I trust the most, the pollsters that have been the most accurate over the last 5 or 6 years who seem to understand the dynamics of the age of Trump.”

“I saw today the first electoral college map that made sense to me and it showed Trump at 326 electoral votes plus,” Gingrich said. “I think that is probably about right. I think the left is going to be terribly shocked.”

‘Release the Zoom Meeting’: Ice Cube Calls Biden Campaign Out for Lying About Conversation

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .In a radio interview Monday, Rep. Cedric Richmond, who serves as a co-chair of Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign, accused [Ice] Cube of having lied about his interactions with the campaign.

After the rapper was outed earlier this month for speaking with President Donald Trump’s campaign about his Contract with Black America, he responded to backlash from the far-left by saying only one campaign had shown any interest in his plan. . .

But speaking on SirusXM’s “Joe Madison Show” this Monday, Richmond disputed this narrative, essentially claimed the rapper is a liar and also dissed the rapper’s plan.

“I like the fact that Ice Cube is getting engaged in policy. I think that is a good thing. However, once you embark on getting into it, one, you have to be truthful, but two, you have an obligation, I think, to see it through and to be thorough with it,” he said. . .

In a tweet posted a day latter, Cube clapped back at Richmond’s accusation by calling bullschiff and challenging the Democrat to release audio footage of their discussion.

Biden Touts Endorsement From Leading Anti-Semites

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden touted an endorsement from a group of leading Muslim officials who have accused Jews of dual loyalty to America and praised anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

A group of nearly 50 Muslim elected officials across the country expressed support for Biden in a late-July letter sponsored by Emgage, an anti-Israel Muslim-American group funded by liberal billionaire George Soros. Emgage has drawn scrutiny in recent years for defending terrorist groups and collaborating with Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated organizations.

Biden, in a July video message to Emgage and its supporters, said he was honored to receive the endorsement and inspired by the group’s “one million Muslim voters” campaign, a nod to Farrakhan’s 1995 Million Man March on Washington, D.C. Biden also said he wished “we taught more in our schools about the Islamic faith” during his video message.

The Emgage letter is signed by local, state, and federal officials who have endorsed Israel boycotts and come under fire for anti-Semitic rhetoric. This includes Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.), who claimed that Israel and its American supporters have “hypnotized the world.”

While Biden has vowed to govern as a pro-Israel president, the Democratic Party’s alliance with anti-Israel leaders has complicated Biden’s message, as evidenced by his pledge to confront Israel over the building of Jewish homes in disputed areas. The Washington Free Beacon reported on concerns Biden would be pulled left from pro-Israel voters earlier this month, when it was revealed that Biden’s running mate, Kamala Harris, worked with the Council on American-Islamic Relations, one of the nation’s top anti-Israel groups and advocates for boycotts of the Jewish state.
