The absent Joe Biden

 

Ken Swope.

Gone Biden Gone – Commentary Magazine 
. . ."So, yes, Biden had to go. But the solution here is probably no solution. I’m not saying Kamala Harris can’t win the presidency against Donald Trump. The Lord is the only one who knows, and given how He’s altered reality for the past 25 days, I wouldn’t put it past Him to keep throwing us for loops because, let’s face it, we’re sinners and we’re bad and we deserve everything we’re getting. We have the greatest country on earth, the greatest constitution, the greatest economy, the greatest everything, and we’ve ended up fostering a political culture so generally nauseating that even Screwtape must be feeling a little sorry for us." . . .

'Cooked': An Out-of-It Joe Biden Is Asked About Israeli Strikes on Yemen, Gives Very Concerning Response – RedState

 Biden Confuses Israeli Airstrikes in Yemen With Union Strikes (legalinsurrection.com)   "President Joe Biden is just gone. Just WOW.

"No words. Seriously, I don’t have to write or say anything else about his answer regarding the Israeli airstrikes in Yemen:

REPORTER: “Any comment on the strikes in Yemen, Mr. President!?”

BIDEN (or whatever’s left of him): “I’ve spoken to both sides. They gotta settle the strike. I’m supporting the collective bargaining effort. I think they’ll settle the strike.”. . . 

 His only quick recall is his visceral hatred of Donald Trump. TD   Journos Admit Fear of Trump Victory Influenced Scant Reporting on Biden’s Cognitive Issues (legalinsurrection.com)  . . ."As it turned out, Biden outed himself in front of millions during that CNN debate. After that, the media knew they couldn’t hide it anymore – not just because the way their failure to treat the issue with the seriousness it deserved (instead of dismissing concerning video clips as “cheap fakes“) made them look but also because they knew if they didn’t act fast it was going to be too late to replace him as the Democrat nominee.

"No matter which way you look at it, the media engaged in their own brand of election interference, trying to hide Joe Biden’s obvious health issues for the three and a half years before that debate, and then doing their part in the aftermath of it to pressure him to exit the race." . . .

Biden drops out, endorses Harris: Is Kamala Harris a better candidate now than she was in 2020?

Jul 10, 2024,  Biden drops out, endorses Harris: Is Kamala Harris a better candidate now than she was in 2020? | Vox   "The last time Kamala Harris ran a campaign for the presidency, she dropped out of the contest before a single vote was cast.

"After launching her bid in Oakland, California, in front of a crowd of 20,000 supporters in January 2019, she campaigned for 310 days before dropping out of the contest. At the time she left the race, she was polling at 4 percent or lower in polling aggregates — a complete flop. It was a stunning result: Harris had been seen as a rising star for most of her years campaigning for and legislating in the Senate, questioning Trump administration officials, and was viewed as the possible future of the Democratic Party as she prepared for a presidential bid.

"She didn’t get close to the nomination in 2020. Now, due to the unprecedented weirdness of the 2024 cycle, she’s as close as she has ever been. President Joe Biden is under strong pressure to drop out of the race, but so far, has vowed not to do so. If that changes, Harris appears most likely to replace him atop the ticket.

But would a Harris-led ticket give Democrats a better shot at beating Donald Trump? What can we learn from 2020 that informs us on how she’d fare in 2024? And would the factors that held Harris back in 2020 likely still plague her this time around?" . . .

As with Biden saying "Don't, look at what she said vs. what she did:

A look at Kamala Harris' work on foreign policy as vice president - CBS News

"After President Biden announced he would not be running for reelection, he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his pick to become the Democratic nominee. Here's a look at some of Harris' work on foreign policy over the last three and a half years:

. . ."Harris was assigned early during the Biden administration with addressing the "root causes" of irregular migration to the United States across its border with Mexico. She described those causes as corruption and lack of economic opportunity in some Central and South American nations.

"She has traveled to Latin America twice as vice president: To Mexico and Guatemala in 2021, and to Honduras in 2022.

"During a speech In Guatemala, she told people in the region considering making an unauthorized trip across the border: "Do not come. Do not come. The United States will continue to enforce our laws and secure our borders." . . .

How on Earth do Harris supporters rationalize away her continuous stream of lies? - Patricia McCarthy     "Kamala Harris was a district attorney in San Francisco, then a state attorney general in Sacramento, but apparently never personally prosecuted a single case. 

"She did damage though, contributing to the sad downfall of those once-glorious cities. In 2014, she led the charge to pass Proposition 47, which ended prosecutions for crimes deemed unimportant and tied the hands of police. Crime and lawlessness have followed.

"Then she became a senator.  Only California would elect such an unqualified person to that high office. She was by all accounts the most radical senator in Congress while she was there." . . .  Many, I suppose are those who wear those designer scarves while chanting 'Death to America!' TD

On Unrealized financial gains

Taxing Unrealized Gains Is a Bad Idea

Unrealized Gain Definition (investopedia.com)   "An unrealized gain occurs when the current market value of an asset exceeds its original purchase price or book value, but the asset has not been sold. It is sometimes called a "paper" gain, since it only exists as an accounting entry until it is realized. A paper loss is similarly an unrealized loss.

"An unrealized gain becomes realized once the position is ultimately sold for a profit. It is possible for an unrealized gain to be erased if the asset's value drops below the price at which it was bought.

Key Takeaways

  • An unrealized gain is a theoretical profit that exists on paper, resulting from an investment that has not yet been sold for cash.
  • Unrealized gains are recorded on financial statements differently depending on the type of security, whether they are held-for-trading, held-to-maturity, or available-for-sale.
  • Gains do not affect taxes until the investment is sold and the gain is realized.
  • If an investment is held for longer than a year, the profit is taxed at the capital gains tax rate.
  • An unrealized loss is the opposite of an unrealized gain where an investment has decreased in value but has not yet been sold.

How an Unrealized Gain Works

"An unrealized gain occurs when the current price of a security is higher than the price the investor initially paid for the security, including any fees associated with the purchase. Many investors calculate the current value of their investment portfolios based on unrealized values. In general, capital gains are taxed only when they are sold and become realized.

Investors may choose to sit on unrealized gains for tax benefits. Most assets held for more than one year are taxed at the long-term capital gains tax rate, which is either 0%, 15%, or 20% depending on one's income.

Assets held for one year or less are taxed as ordinary income, with rates ranging from 10% to 37%.    Full article

Yes, Harris Plans to Institute 25% Tax on Unrealized Capital Gains — of Wealthiest Americans | Snopes.com       

What's True: "It's true Harris endorsed a plan to institute a 25% tax on unrealized capital gains. However …

What's False … "The plan specified that the tax would apply only to those with wealth exceeding $100 million — i.e., not the middle class. Given that it would therefore only affect the wealthiest 0.01% in the country, it is unlikely to cause an "economic calamity." While the Democratic National Convention took place in Chicago, Illinois, in August 2024, a rumor began to spread that the party's presidential nominee, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, had endorsed a 25% tax on unrealized capital gains (archived):" . . .

Given that this measure is only set to affect the wealthiest 0.01% of the population, however, it is unlikely to cause an "economic calamity." If it were to apply to people in the middle class, on their homes or their investments, it might, in fact, affect their purchasing power, their ability to plan for the future or their ability to own homes. As it stands, however, the measure is too limited in scope for that.   Full article...

Oct &: A modern pogrom through history’s lens

 The left is not just contemptible; it is murderous | Phyllis Chesler Organization

This suggests that there are no or very few “innocent” Gazans. These heavily indoctrinated Arabs are barbarians, and the Westerners who support them are not merely bystanders but collaborators. 

Also in the U.S. Iranians teach American sheep to shout with fury


. . ."I immediately knew that Oct. 7 was a pogrom, yet my understanding of what was unique about this particular Iranian-funded crime against the Jewish people and humanity overall has evolved in the months since the initial attack. As we approach the first anniversary of that horrific event, a number of items stand out.

First: Hamas terrorists recorded live video footage of their atrocities and released it on social media. They even sent it to the families of those who were tortured, raped, murdered or kidnapped.

Second: The attacks unleashed an ugly and increasingly ominous global firestorm that has cheered on Hamas’s sadism as “resistance” and condemned all Israeli civilians—be they Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Druze or Buddhist. It has also led to a seemingly unstoppable, propaganda-driven, worldwide siege against the Jews.

Third: The alleged “progressives” in the West, including the feminists who have, at the very least, paid lip service in vocalizing their opposition to the torture, gang rapes and murders of women, children and dissidents in countries like Afghanistan, Algeria, Bosnia, Iran, Nigeria, Rwanda and Sudan, have remained silent. They refuse to condemn Hamas’s brutality against women on Oct. 7 despite myriad video evidence of the atrocities.

Fourth: Many governments and international organizations keep demanding more and more proof of Hamas’s actions and continue to deny the Oct. 7 atrocities. Yet these same actors have not denied any other 21st-century genocides.

Fifth: More people now know that the raging, masked, keffiyeh-wearing demonstrators who have been flooding American and European cities and campuses since Oct. 7 have been bought and paid for by Russia, Iran, Arab oil money, and woke American philanthropists and foundations. It is also now clear that these same groups have been preparing for this moment for 60 years.

Sixth: As some have suggested, Hamas’s behavior on Oct. 7 seems to have been influenced by the most sadistic pornography, as well as by mood-altering drugs. This sadism rivals and may even exceed the horror of other pogroms or war zones.

Seventh: Many hundreds, perhaps thousands, of so-called civilians in Gaza joined in this “carnival of violence.” They surged into Israel right along with the armed paragliders and fiends on motorbikes. Just as some Palestinian Arabs celebrated Sept. 11 by cheering and handing out candies, so, too, did Gazan civilians happily, perhaps even joyfully, sit down, eat, drink and loot Israeli homes, even as Israelis were being tortured, raped and murdered in the next room or very nearby.

"This suggests that there are no or very few “innocent” Gazans. These heavily indoctrinated Arabs are barbarians, and the Westerners who support them are not merely bystanders but collaborators.

"I am now and forever an Oct. 8 Jew and an Oct. 8 American."

Remember when Lebanon was the crown jewel of the Mediterranean?   "Brigitte Gabriel delivers a powerful message of gratitude to Israel for eliminating the top leadership of Hezbollah, the most dangerous terrorist organization in the world. Gabriel highlights Hezbollah’s attacks on American interests and the group’s complete control over Lebanon. This victory, she says, brings hope to Lebanese people everywhere who dream of reclaiming their country from terror.

"Gabriel shares her personal experiences of a time when Israelis and Lebanese lived in harmony, traveling freely between the two nations.

Gabriel calls on Lebanese leaders to seize this moment and make peace with Israel, pointing to successful peace deals in the region. "Gabriel urges all Lebanese influencers to unite and take their country back from Hezbollah. She emphasizes that now is the time to make history by bringing peace to Lebanon."

‘Rotten media’: Douglas Murray blasts MSNBC after soft Kamala interview

MSNBC's Fake News Finally Catches Up to It in Court - Judge Rules Hosts Made ‘Verifiably False' Statements  "MSNBC is learning the hard way what happens when they spread fake news only for the sake of blasting former President Donald Trump.

MSNBC's parent company NBCUniversal is going to trial after being sued for defamation by Dr. Mahendra Amin for $30 million.

"Amin worked as a gynecologist at a Georgia Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, where he treated women being detained. Judge Lisa Godbey Wood of the Southern District of Georgia found in her ruling that Rachel Maddow, Nicolle Wallace and Chris Hayes made multiple "verifiably false" allegations about Amin.

"A nurse at the facility, Dawn Wooten, alleged Amin was performing "mass hysterectomies" and that he was known as the "uterus collector." The Washington Free Beacon reported her claims were based on hearsay and have been proven false.

"The discovery process of the lawsuit shows how MSNBC and NBC journalists and executives had concerns over the authenticity of Wooten's claims, but chose to move forward with their coverage anyway.

"NBCUniversal's deputy director of standards Chris Scholl said to Hayes in a conference call that Wooten "has no direct knowledge of this stuff "and that Amin "has a pretty clean record."

"While Hayes said he initially "discounted the whole thing," he interviewed Wooten on his show, titling the segment, "ICE whistleblower speaks out, alleges mass hysterectomies performed on migrant women."

"Maddow ran her own coverage of Amin on her show. "The nurse says she and her fellow nurses, quote, questioned among ourselves, like, goodness, he’s taking everybody’s stuff out, that’s his specialty, he’s the uterus collector … He’s taking all their uteruses out or he’s taking their tubes out." . . .

Over 425,000 Illegals in the US Have Criminal Backgrounds: Report

 Anthony Gonzalez (resistthemainstream.com)

"In a shocking revelation, recent data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has exposed the alarming criminal backgrounds of hundreds of thousands of migrants currently residing in the United States. 

"This information, obtained from ICE’s “non-detained docket,” paints a disturbing picture of the potential threats posed by illegal immigrants who have been released into American communities.

"According to the report, ICE is currently monitoring 425,000 illegal immigrants with criminal convictions who are not in federal custody. Even more concerning, an additional 222,000 migrants have pending criminal charges against them. 

"These figures underscore the magnitude of the issue and raise serious questions about public safety and the effectiveness of current immigration policies.

"Among the most alarming statistics is the number of violent offenders who have been allowed to enter and remain in the country.

"The report indicates that over 13,000 convicted murderers are among those released into the U.S., with nearly 2,000 more facing pending homicide charges, as reported by Florida Voice News.

"This unprecedented number of potentially dangerous individuals roaming free in American neighborhoods has sparked outrage among law enforcement officials and concerned citizens alike." . . .

America: Israel's cowardly ally

 Israel Did Not Inform US of Hezbollah Strike Plans - and Why Should They?

. . ."Israel is under no obligation to inform the United States of its operational plans, against Hezbollah or anyone else — and given the disorganization and lack of competence of the Biden administration, one can scarcely blame them for playing things close to their chests." . . .

 The long-term consequences of U.S. intel leaks - CarolineGlick.com

The leaks weren’t only geared towards preventing an airstrike or commando raid on Iran’s installations. They were directed as well against Israel’s efforts to undermine the Iranian nuclear program through cyberwarfare and other forms of sabotage.

With friends like these who needs enemies?

"On Wednesday, Fox News and The Jerusalem Post ran stories based on a report from Kuwait’s Al-Jarida newspaper claiming that the U.S. had revealed to Iranian authorities the identities of 10 Mossad agents in Iran who allegedly were involved in the July 31 assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.

"Al-Jarida claimed its report was based on information provided by a member of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council. The alleged source told the Kuwaiti paper that U.S. officials had visited Iran secretly after the assassination with the goal of appeasing the regime. They told their Iranian counterparts that Israel had not informed them of its plans to kill Haniyeh and proceeded to provide them with the Mossad agents’ identities.

"On Thursday, Fox News deleted the story and the Post updated its report. The updated article led with the news that the U.S. National Security Council denied the Kuwaiti story.

"On Wednesday night, I shared the Post report on my X account. My post received well over one million views. Following the Post’s publication of its revision and Fox’s deletion of its initial report, I deleted my post and shared the Post’s revised story.

"Given the severity of the charge, why were Fox News and the Post so quick to report the Al-Jarida story? Why was my initial inclination to lend credence the report? The answer, in short, is that the Biden-Harris administration, like the Obama-Biden administration before it, has a track record of leaking Israeli operations in Iran." . . .

"Consider just a few well-known and widely reported examples.

"In May 2022, senior IRGC commander Sayyed Khodei was killed by gunmen outside his home. The gunmen escaped the scene on a motorcycle. According to Israeli officials, Khodei served as deputy commander of IRGC Unit 840 and was involved in planning cross-border plots against foreigners, including Israelis. At the time he was killed, Khodei was reportedly planning the assassination of French Jewish philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy.

"To avoid the prospect of retaliation and escalation, Israel did not claim responsibility for the strike. But Biden officials told The New York Times that Israel had killed him. The operation was carried out during Naftali Bennett’s premiership and Bennett and his associates were reportedly angered by the administration’s move, which raised the prospect of increased Iranian violence against the Jewish state." . . .

That Wasn’t An Interview. It Was A Campaign Rally

 Bob Maistros – Issues & Insights   

. . ."Which makes one wonder (wink, wink, nod, nod): Might Ms. Harris have actually been tipped off just a bit as to possible subject matter? Nah. Who needs that when the questioner is lobbing up not softballs, but beach balls?" . . .

Does this location give her street cred?

"Why? Because real reporters’ obsession is gettin’ ya in a “gotcha.” Pushing, prodding, twisting words out of context, and generally making nuisances of themselves. Especially hard-bitten, cynical, and largely antagonistic business journalists.

"Ah, that word. Journalist. A concept sorely lacking in the “interview” of Kamala Harris by MSNBC/NBC’s Stephanie Ruhle.

"Put aside that if you were playing the drinking game and had “dreams,” “ambitions,” “aspirations,” “opportunity economy,” and “middle-class family” on your Kamala bingo card, you were smashed before the first break. 

"That her veepness trotted out the usual canards about the “border security bill” (that ensured the polar opposite). The “worst economy since the Great Depression” Donald Trump supposedly left behind (a fiction recently dispatched on these pages). Women dying because of post-Roe restrictions (as opposed to complications from medically induced abortions).

"And that the airhead who once claimed that smaller tax refunds reflected a middle-class tax hike called Donald Trump “not very serious” about economic issues.

"The real issue with the “interview” – the individual styled as “NBC News Senior Business Analyst” seemed curiously uninterested in analysis.

"Talk about “not very serious.” Instead of questions, Ruhle offered up the Democratic candidate’s own campaign stump soundbites – and then re-affirmed and reinforced her responses.

Canada is fining the Amish $300,000 for not downloading a COVID app

 Andrea Widburg - American Thinker

"Trudeau mandated that the COVID app was for the good of Canadians. Therefore, all Canadians must get with the program. Those who didn’t made themselves enemies of the loving state and they must pay. By defying the government’s love, they’ve lost the privilege to have freedom of conscience and religion."


"A month ago, news broke that, up in Canada, Justin Trudeau’s government is fining the Amish community $300,000 ($222,660 American dollars). Their crime? They didn’t download the government’s COVID app. The twist, of course, is that the Amish don’t have smartphones. They eschew all modern technology. This story has made almost no headlines, but it’s important because it’s a preview of coming attractions if Kamala becomes president. This is what leftists do. Acting for your own good, they destroy you.

"As anyone who has watched either Witness or Weird Al Yankovich’s brilliant Amish Paradise knows, the Amish lifestyle does not embrace modernity. To hark back to another American pop culture moment, the Amish have “no phone, no lights, no motor car, not a single luxury. Like Robinson Crusoe, it’s primitive as can be.” This is not because the Amish are victims. They have embraced a lifestyle of pre-modern simplicity because their faith calls upon them to live this way." . . .

If you watch Kamala, her message—her “joy” and “vibes”—is the same as Trudeau’s. I’m the embodiment of a loving government. Just do what I say. But if you don’t, look at what happened to Donald Trump and everyone near him. And don’t believe that we won’t do it to you, too.

Democrat Sen. Wyden's Bill to Destroy the Supreme Court

 M. Dowling (independentsentinel.com)  

As always, Democrats want all the power of government, and they will destroy whatever they don’t like.

 

"Far Left Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) sponsored legislation to destroy the Third Co-Equal Branch of government because they don’t like recent decisions.

"The bill would stack the Court, adding six Justices. The Court would undergo audits, putting them under the authority of Congress. They would no longer be a co-equal branch of government, but another politicized entity.

"Wyden’s bill is called the Judicial Modernization and Transparency Act. It would expand the court over 12 years. A president could appoint one nominee in the first and third years of a term in office.

"The bill would also require a ruling by two-thirds of the high court and the circuit courts of appeals, rather than a simple majority, to overturn a law passed by Congress.

"Another measure would allow a two-thirds vote of the court to force a fellow justice to recuse from a case.

"The Justices would be mandated to report all their personal and professional business.

The legislation would also require Supreme Court nominees to be automatically scheduled for a vote in the Senate if their nominations have lingered in committee for more than 180 days. It would prevent the minority from having a no vote." . . .

With Millions of new citizens let in by Biden-Harris who know nothing-NOTHING about our Constitution or system of government, and given prizes and gifts from Democrats, America will no longer be the nation we have cherished. Multiply The Squad by several hundred thousand.
