Harris Supporters Were Asked to House Illegal Immigrants. Here's How They Responded.

"Democrats are champions for so-called “sanctuary cities,” which allow illegal aliens to live in the United States and reap some of the benefits here. 

"While many Democrats claim that “no human is illegal,” when asked if they’d be open to housing illegals in their homes, many Democrats said no without hesitation. 

"In one case, two men pretending to be Harris campaign workers arrived at the homes of Democrat voters with illegal aliens in tow. When the voters were asked if they’d house the illegal immigrants, they all said no. 

 People pretending to be Kamala campaign workers went door-to-door, attempting to place illegal migrants in the homes of Democrats.

According to several reports, in the town of Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, residents with Harris signs in their yards claim that they’ve received postcards stating that they will be hosting illegal immigrant families.

"NBC10 Boston interviewed a woman who received the postcard, who claimed that she was “creeped out.” She refused to show her face on camera.

"The postcard said that a family from Nicaragua would be moving into her house. 

" "That's when I realized it was an obvious attempt to try to either scare me or rage bait me and make me upset," the woman explained. "It's really sad that the country has come to this point where you can't put a lawn sign out and support a candidate without being harassed with something like this." . . .

Kamala wants to tax the wealthy's savings before you ever get to use them.

Unrealized gains or losses: What they are and how they work  "Unrealized gains and losses are potential gains and losses from an investment that has not yet been sold. While selling investments can have tax consequences, that may not be true while you still hold on to it. That’s why they are “unrealized.”

"Selling investments can significantly impact your taxes, so it’s crucial to understand the potential implications. You should also understand the difference between realized and unrealized gains or losses. We’ll cover these differences and what they mean for you as an investor.

What is an unrealized gain/loss?

"An unrealized gain or loss is the change in value of a stock, bond or other asset you have purchased but not yet sold. The gain or loss is “unrealized” or “on paper,” as some refer to it, because you are still holding the investment. The gain or loss is only determined or “realized” when you sell the asset.

"One reason we discuss unrealized gains and losses is the potential tax implications once the investment is sold. We will discuss taxes at greater length in another section, but generally, realized gains result in a capital gains tax, while realized losses allow investors to offset their taxes.

How unrealized capital gains and losses work

"Investment values constantly fluctuate, regardless of the investment type. Whether the investment has increased or decreased will determine if you have unrealized gains or unrealized losses. You will have unrealized gains if the asset’s value has increased since you purchased it. Conversely, if the asset’s value has decreased, they have an unrealized loss." . . .

What Harris' plan to tax unrealized gains means for the wealthy . . ."Biden has called for a billionaire minimum tax in his 2025, 2024 and 2023 fiscal year budgets, and Senate Democrats pushed for a similar levy in October 2021. But the proposals have failed to gain traction.

“ 'There’s very little political support for this,” said Steve Rosenthal, senior fellow at the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center.

"The Harris campaign did not provide a comment to CNBC.

"There’s also been pushback from the business community. Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban on Thursday told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that he doesn’t think Harris would tax unrealized gains.

“ 'Every conversation I’ve had is that it’s not going to happen,” he said.

“ 'If you tax unrealized gains, you’re going to kill the stock market,” he added." . . .


What the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings reveal about Kamala Harris

What the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings reveal about Kamala Harris 
. . ."Critics at the time, however, said Harris’s treatment of Kavanaugh was an obvious and out-of-line attempt to raise her political profile. And now that Harris is the presumptive Democratic nominee for vice president, Trump has repeatedly attacked her approach to the Kavanaugh hearings.
“She was extraordinarily nasty to Kavanaugh — Judge Kavanaugh then, now Justice Kavanaugh,” Trump told reporters on Tuesday during a briefing at the White House, not long after Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, announced Harris as his running mate. “She was nasty to a level that was just a horrible thing the way she was,” Trump said.
"In an interview Thursday with Fox Business’s Maria Bartiromo, Trump called Harris a “mad woman.” . . .


“She was extraordinarily nasty to Kavanaugh, Judge Kavanaugh, now Justice Kavanaugh,” Trump said during a Tuesday briefing. “She was nasty to a level that was just a horrible thing the way she was, the way she treated now-Justice Kavanaugh. And I won’t forget that soon." 
"Harris, a former prosecutor, expanded her profile back in 2018 with her grilling of Kavanaugh, who was left with a loss of words when Harris referred to abortion regulations."

 Kamala Harris’ Unserious, Demagogic Questioning of Judicial Nominees | National Review   "Kamala Harris did not serve a full term in the Senate before becoming her party’s nominee for vice president. Elected in 2016, she was assigned to the Senate Judiciary Committee in January 2018 after Al Franken’s resignation and Doug Jones’ special election victory. That short window was enough for her to display her true colors as a radical ideologue and a demagogue, rather than a serious member of the upper chamber.

"Mere seconds into the start of Brett Kavanaugh’s hearings in 2018, Harris interrupted the chairman, Chuck Grassley, ultimately launching a torrent of interruptions, not only by screeching protestors, but also by Democratic senators. When committee members were finally able to ask their questions, Harris began her turn with a set of bizarre “gotcha” questions as to whether Kavanaugh had ever discussed Robert Mueller’s investigation of the Trump campaign with anyone from the law firm Kasowitz Benson Torres, which she hardly let him answer. It was a transparent effort to set a perjury trap for the nominee, executed ineptly enough to leave both viewers and the nominee perplexed as to precisely what she was talking about.

"Predictably, she later fanned the flames of the defamatory allegations of sexual abuse made against Kavanaugh without corroboration, tweeting that the allegations were “credible,” then pushing the nominee during his hearings to ask the White House to authorize an FBI investigation. And a year later, she shamelessly doubled down and called for Kavanaugh to be impeached.". . .

Kamala Makes Women’s Lives More Dangerous   "Champion of women’s rights uber feminist Kamala Harris has put women’s very lives in danger. As Czarina of the Open Border, she is directly to blame for the body count of American women mounting up across our nation since she and Biden canceled Trump’s previous illegal immigration safeguards and opened the floodgates to over 13,000 illegal migrant convicted murderers and 15,811 illegal migrant convicted rapists now roaming our streets. 

""Her empathy for illegal criminals instead of Americans has cost many American women and young girls their lives. We don’t know how many because the FBI doesn’t tell us. We do know the names of some of the beautiful, dynamic young women (allegedly) raped and killed by illegals. We know about Laken Riley, the young nursing student (allegedly) brutally murdered by a Venezuelan illegal. We know about Rachel Morin, the mother of five who was accosted on her run, (allegedly) raped and murdered by an El Salvadoran illegal. We know about 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, who was (allegedly) raped for hours by two Venezuelan immigrants and then strangled to death and left in a Texas ditch. Both of her (alleged) murderers had been apprehended by Border Control and released with a notice to appear in court later. Catch and release, then kill American women; these are the open border rules of Border Czarina Kamala." . . .
