Happy New Year: Here Are Some of Your
New Taxes Thanks to Joe Biden and Democrats
Posted By: Imright, 1/2/2023 5:37:00 PM
I have a feeling that the 81 million people who voted for Joe Biden in November of 2020 are thrilled with the new taxes Scranton Joe and his fellow Democrats helped usher in. #Rubes Following on the heels of my colleague Mike Miller‘s post, earlier today titled: The Government Wasn’t Intended to Be a Charity, Much Less to Take Money From You and Give It to Others, in which he wrote this nugget which should entice you to check out his article:Democrat elites have understood the above since at least the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt, and it’s far more front-and-center today than it’s ever been. A quick trip through Chicago’s Southside,

The latest Twitter documents revealed that the CIA sent warnings about a book claiming that Joe and Hunter Biden conducted corruption in Ukraine.
Following up a breakdown of what led to Twitter's cooperation with the FBI, journalist Matt Taibbi's latest Twitter Files dump detailed how that partnership allowed the agency to become the 'belly button' to filter government demands.
Among those demands included a message from the CIA warning about a new book by former Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin, which contained claims of corruption by the US government, specifically, by the Bidens.
Why is the Biden Administration being so weak with China?
In a Truth Social post, Donald Trump said, “CHINA OWNS BIDEN, and now, the USA!”
Truth Social:
Why is the Biden Administration so SOFT on China? “The problem the Democrats have with China is that they are soft on China from a domestic policy, jobs, economy, trade, point of view…something that President Trump really understood.” Batya Ungar-Sargon, Newsweek Deputy Opinion Editor, on Maria B (Hey, what’s up with Newsweek? They are getting MUCH better. I guess they found out, like all of the others, that Fake News isn’t working –
Opening day of the 118th Congress Tuesday marked the official close of the previous legislative body and, with it, a farewell from now-former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) that, if he were being honest, probably was received as well as he could have expected.
Monday evening, the Illinois representative, who retired rather than face a fellow Republican congressman in a primary following Democratic gerrymandering in the state, offered one final tweet from his official legislative account. With the inclusion of a peace sign emoji, the one of 10 Republicans to vote to impeach former President Donald Trump for a second time also offered some warm words to
San Francisco is bracing for another catastrophic storm that will be the 'most impactful' yet after it was deluged with massive flooding and mudslides last week.
As the Pineapple Express - a strong atmospheric storm building in the Pacific Northwest - prepares to slam into California, the state is still reeling from the storm that hit on New Year's Eve.
'This will likely be one of the most impactful systems on a widespread scale that this meteorologist has seen in a long while,' the National Weather Service’s Bay Area office said. 'This is truly a brutal system that we are looking at and needs to be taken seriously.
The number of fugitive illegal aliens living across American communities, despite having been ordered deported from the United States by a federal immigration judge, has now reached more than 1.2 million under President Joe Biden.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released its year-end report showing yet another uptick in the total of fugitive illegal aliens — those who have been ordered deported but have refused to leave the U.S. — as the Biden administration has systematically gutted interior immigration enforcement.
By the end of Fiscal Year 2022, more than 1.2 million fugitive illegal aliens with final deportation orders remained living across American communities.
The latest documents released from Twitter details how the company was pushed into the arms of the FBI following pressures from Democrats.
In the new installment of the Twitter Files, journalist Matt Taibbi broke down the stress the company was under in 2017 following calls from Democrats for social media companies to crack down on Russian misinformation.
According to emails from Twitter's leadership, the company was initially focusing on passing any blame to Facebook, touting that Twitter had only a few accounts with 'suspected Russian origin.'
Idaho murders suspect Bryan Kohberger waived extradition on Tuesday during a brief court hearing and is expected to be transported back to the college town where he is accused of murdering four college students in cold blood.
Kohberger, 28, denies the murders but is not fighting extradition. He says he is eager to get back to Idaho, where he can answer the charges formally.
The criminology PhD student was arrested at his parents' house in Pennsylvania on Friday. They were among those in court in Stroudsburg on Tuesday, but covered their faces with COVID masks, hats and hoods to evade the media.
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will become the longest serving party leader in Senate history on Tuesday.
McConnell, 80, will remain the Republican minority leader in the 118th Congress and thus eclipse the late Sen. Mike Mansfield’s time as Democrat leader from 1961 to 1977.
McConnell overcame ten Republican “no” votes in November to remain minority leader. The votes against McConnell marked the first time McConnell had received a “no” vote as leader, a sign the GOP has begun to turn against his establishment agenda.
“I don’t own this job,” McConnell claimed after the vote. “Anybody who wants to run for it can feel free to do so.”
House Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry (R-PA) rejected House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) bid hours before the vote for speaker of the House.
Perry had spent much of the holiday break negotiating with Leader McCarthy and other conservatives on a potential compromise that would lead to McCarthy to become the next leader of the House. However, Perry said in a written statement on Tuesday, hours before the speaker vote, that McCarthy has not demonstrated any “desire to meaningfully change the status quo.”
The House will convene at 12:00 P.M. ET, at which the chamber will start the roll call
It’s a great day for the USA.
Today ends the realm of the Nancy Pelosi reign of terror as Speaker of the US House of Representatives. “Crazy Nancy” affectionately named by President Trump, is out as Speaker of the US House of Representatives today, for the second time in her corrupt career.
America’s founding fathers must have rolled in their graves watching the actions that Pelosi took as Speaker of the House. As Speaker, spending went out of control as well as corruption.
Sandra Pippa woke in a panic in the middle of the night six years ago — anxious her son still wasn’t home from celebrating his 29th birthday.
“Oh please don’t be mad at me for being late. I’m on the train. I’m coming home,” Pippa recalled her son, Dorian, responding to her frantic 4:30 a.m. text.
“And then, he didn’t… He never did make it,” she told The Post recently. “It’s as if I knew.”
Dorian died moments after the exchange — found in the bathroom of a Metro-North train by NYPD officers — having taken a small but fatal dose of fentanyl that was cut into another drug without his knowledge.
Yesterday the NY Times printed an op-ed by communications consultant Brendan Buck, who previously worked for former Speakers of the House John Boehner and Paul Ryan. You think Mr. Buck has a vested interest in seeing Kevin McCarthy named speaker?
Before I comment on Buck’s essay, a word about “communications consultants” -- several decades ago I worked for a large southern utility in their Communications Office. I was among several selected to be a Media Liaison, the person who issued information to the public/media in case of a catastrophic event that impacted the electrical grid, a nuclear plant, etc. One of the top communication consultant

House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy signaled he was done negotiating with his detractors in an effort to win the speakership during a tense closed-door meeting on Tuesday morning, according to a new report.
Several House Republicans doubled down on their promises to oppose McCarthy’s bid after the meeting, which was held ahead of what is expected to be a lengthy vote for the speakership. As many as 20 House Republicans may oppose McCarthy’s bid, according to reports. The California Republican will need 218 votes if every current member votes for a candidate by name — a difficult task with the party’s razor-thin majority in the House.
In her final letter as Speaker of the House before a Republican majority is sworn in, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) wrote that she believes House Democrats are the “greatest collection of intellect, integrity and imagination assembled.”
“One final thought that I wanted to leave with you is my belief that the House Democratic Caucus is the greatest collection of intellect, integrity and imagination assembled for the good of the American people,” she wrote in her final to her colleagues on both sides of the aisle on Monday evening.
Expressing the “appreciation” she had for the “high honor bestowed upon [her] by House Democrats” of letting her serve as Speaker of the House, she added:
According to the book “Peril” written by Bob Woodward, General Mark Milley, the Joint Chiefs chairman, told China in a secret phone call that he would give advance warning if the US was ever going to attack.
“In a pair of secret phone calls (Oct. 20 and Jan. 8), Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, assured his Chinese counterpart, Gen. Li Zuocheng of the PLA, that the U.S. would not strike, according to the new book written by Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward and national political editor Robert Costa. On January 8, 2021, the same day Milley reportedly spoke to China

appearance with President Biden, GOP base
be damned 21 replies
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell will be doing himself no favors this week when he makes a rare joint appearance with President Joe Biden in his home state of Kentucky.
Then again, McConnell appears to have thrown caution to the wind when it comes to being concerned about agitating the Republican Party base — just before the Christmas break McConnell declared that former President Donald Trump’s “political clout has diminished,” and said the GOP “lost support that we needed among independents and moderate Republicans, primarily related to the view they had of us as a party — largely made by the former president — that we were sort of nasty

Buffalo Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin may have suffered a "remarkably rare" condition when he collapsed on the field during Monday night's game against the Cincinnati Bengals, CBS News medical contributor Dr. David Agus told "CBS Mornings."
The Bills said Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest following a hit in the game. Video shows that after the hit, he stood up, took a few steps and fell to the ground. While it's not yet clear what caused Hamlin's heart to suddenly stop beating, Agus believes he sustained blunt force trauma to his chest "in the exact right spot, at the exact right moment during his heartbeat," which caused his heart

Beijing‘s rapid buildup of nuclear forces has been assisted by American nuclear and missile technology obtained by Chinese spies and through U.S. space and nuclear cooperation in the 1990s, according to a review of Chinese technology records and internal U.S. government documents.
The Pentagon disclosed last month that China‘s warhead stockpile will reach at least 1,500 strategic nuclear warheads by 2035, up from 200 just a few years ago and 400 warheads today.
Adm. Charles Richard, until Dec. 9 the commander of the U.S. nuclear forces, further sounded the alarm on the Chinese nuclear expansion last month when he formally notified Congress that the size

Republican Rep. Bob Good of Virginia claimed that “10 to 15” Republicans would “block” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s bid to become speaker at Tuesday’s vote and hinted at a “true candidate” to potentially replace him.
“What we’ll do is we’ll block Kevin. There will be, I suspect, 10 to 15 members who will vote against him on the first ballot tomorrow, that will vote for Andy Biggs,” Good told “Fox and Friends” guest host Griff Jenkins Monday. “But then I think you will see on the second ballot, an increasing number of members vote for a true candidate who can represent the conservative center of the conference,
Washington - With Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., wielding the gavel as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, President Joe Biden outpaced Donald Trump and Barack Obama in confirming federal judges at the midpoint of their respective terms.
The new judges are part of a historic transformation of the federal bench in terms of race, gender, ethnicity and experience, including in federal courtrooms in Chicago. Until Biden, most federal judges were white males, with the door closed to almost all other lawyers.(Snip) Looking ahead, the issue will be filling vacancies from states with GOP senators who may want to block Biden’s lifetime appointments.
