President Trump Can Win the 2024 Election
With Just This One Idea

Original Article

Posted By: rememberwhen, 9/21/2023 1:18:23 PM

All Democrats do to win elections….other than rigging and fixing them with mail-in ballots [etc.]... by bribing the voters. It’s called “Highway Bribery.” They bribe the poor with welfare, food stamps, free healthcare and a hundred other government handouts.... And they bribe young voters by erasing student loan debt. ... with the implicit understanding they will vote Democrat as a thank you. I say two can play at that game... President Trump, please announce if you are elected in 2024, you will lead the fight to end all taxes on Social Security.

Comments:

A wonderful idea. And Root is spot on with respect to the facts. It has never been fair for seniors to pay tax on Social Security, which is essentially a return of money the government forced them to loan to the government, some of it for decades..

The Author has no appreciation of the inter-generational hate that is programmed into today's young people. Such a proposal would change nothing.

It may help to know how SS came to be taxed. It happened under the Johnson administration. Previously it was untaxed. I happened to be working in the EXOP [Executive Office of the President] at the time and knew the whole story. LBJ proposed his "Great Society" program, but the Council of Economic Advisors (CEA) refused to go along with it, because of the high cost of the Vietnam War, then in progress. LBJ persuaded the Pentagon to produce a prediction that the war would only last one more year, with the cost decreasing in a straight line, starting at the current cost and decreasing to zero after one year. That reduced the estimated cost to half of the previous value and persuaded the CEA, reluctantly, to go along with his Great Society proposal. Of course, the cost of the war did not decrease, and the congress had to make an emergency appropriation for the other half of its cost. Meanwhile, the cost of the Great Society greatly exceeded all estimations as people (unexpectedly?) changed their behavior to qualify for its benefits. LBJ scrambled to meet the increased costs. Among other things, he moved the incoming SS funds to become part of the general government revenue, instead of a separate account, as they had previously been. He also instituted a progressive income tax on SS on benefits, which had previously been tax free.

Yes! Do it! Seniors have been getting absolutely killed financially since 2008. We’ve suffered with non-existent to very low paying interest rates on our savings and the social security COLA adjustments have been a joke, coming nowhere close to compensating for inflation.

Voter identification. And no more accepting ballots once the counting begins. (Ballot harvesting just invites cheating.)

I hear that Trump is said that he will reclose the border and start a huge deportation process of illegals. THAT would get him elected again, all by itself. Like "Operation Wetback" by President Eisenhower, where way more than 1 million illegals were deported, this CAN be done. Hunt them down like the criminals that they are and deport them.

Wasn't tax already paid on this money when it was earned? The government, by taxing it again, is asserting that it is "new" untaxed money. What it is, is double taxation!!

oxic plumes and neon orange bodies of water are quite an ironic legacy for “clean” and “green” energy—how anyone can miss a paradox that in-your-face is beyond me (but that’s beside the point). Two stories out this week highlighted the growing concern over the “reckless” transition to the globalists’ vision of the energy industry: the first questioned whether or not public services were “equipped” to handle the unique “challenges and risks” posed when electric vehicle batteries catch fire, while the second covered a brand-new study published yesterday by Science Magazine, one of the world’s most prestigious, longstanding, and recognized academic journals (it first entered circulation almost 150 years ago).

We Have Two Medias in This Country, and

It’s often asked in my circles: Why isn’t Joe Biden getting more credit for his accomplishments?... There is no one reason. But there is one overwhelming factor in play: the media. Or rather, the two medias... We reside in a media environment that promotes—whether it intends to or not—right-wing authoritarian spectacle. At the same time, as a culture, it’s consistently obsessed with who “won the day,” while placing far less value on the fact that the civic and democratic health of the country is nurtured through practices such as deliberation, compromise, and sober governance. The result is bad for Joe Biden. But it’s potentially tragic for democracy.

t was February of 1992 and President George H. W. Bush, while out campaigning for reelection, gave a speech to the National Grocers Association. What could possibly go wrong? It was a non-event, evidenced by the fact that only one pool reporter was present, Gregg McDonald of the Houston Chronicle. Before Bush gave the speech, he toured the new grocer technology, including a state-of-the-art scanner that could weigh produce and read damaged bar codes. In his report, McDonald noted that the president had a "look of wonder" on his face as he admired the new technology.

How did the fascist left get the right to decree the meaning of every bloody word in the dictionary? If there’s one thing every nation’s socialist left has been good at, it’s propaganda and wordplay. Joseph Goebbels, Saul Alinsky, and others were masters at the art of lying with language. (Imagining with amusement, leftists out there losing their collective minds over the fact that we just dared to compare their hero to Saul Alinsky or the other way around, but I digress.)

Nikki Haley had been paddling in the shallows of the Republican presidential race for six months, making few waves, when an unnamed senior adviser to President Biden confided to Politico two weeks ago, “If they nominate Nikki Haley, we’re in trouble.” It was an odd admission, given that the former South Carolina governor was polling at around 4 percent nationally. But then Haley last week delivered a strong debate performance, and a new leaked poll from Trump world showed her moving into third place in Iowa and New Hampshire.

On Monday, US District Judge Tanya Chutkan set a March 4 start date for former President Donald Trump’s federal criminal trial on charges of conspiring to overturn the 2020 election. “The public has a right to a prompt and efficient resolution of this matter,” Chutkan said.... Most obviously, with Trump as the current leading contender for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, Americans deserve to know before they vote in the general election if a jury of his peers finds him innocent or guilty of having tried to end the lawful transition of power after the 2020 election.

Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman said he has “lost [his] ability to fully process language” during a Senate hearing last week, despite previous assurances from his family, doctors and Democratic lawmakers that he is fully functioning and capable. Fetterman said he is unable to communicate with his family and staff unless he uses special transcription technology and became emotional describing his mental state during a Senate hearing on Thursday. Concerns about Fetterman’s health arose during his 2022 senatorial campaign after he suffered a stroke; following the event, his doctor said he could “work full duty,” and Fetterman himself said he was “able to serve and to be running” for Congress.

Fox News Channel announced Monday that Sean Hannity will moderate a “red state vs. blue state” debate between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and California Governor Gavin Newsom. Hannity asked the two governors about debating each other and both agreed earlier this year. The debate will take place on November 30 in Georgia, with the venue to be announced. It will air in Hannity’s time slot that night. The debate will be 90 minutes. The two governors have a contentious relationship, to understate the relationship. Newsom began attacking DeSantis even before DeSantis entered the Republican presidential primary. So, Hannity challenged the two to a debate.

The political and media world fell into a mini-frenzy over the weekend with the release of not one but two polls showing President Joe Biden in dire political shape. The most newsworthy of the polls came from the Washington Post and ABC News. Biden's job approval rating in the new survey is 37%, with disapproval at 56%. Approval of his handling of the economy is 30%. Approval of his handling of the border crisis is 23%. The survey found deep unhappiness about the state of the economy in general, energy prices, food prices, and the income of average workers. Only 33% of Democrats said they want

America has been in a veritable cultural revolution since the 1960s. Nearly all our major institutions finally became woke—the administrative state, traditional and social media, universities, K-12, the corporate boardroom, entertainment, professional sports, and the foundations. So the Obama and the Biden administrations finally seemed to have achieved their aims, in what the Obamas once boasted would be the “fundamental transformation” of America into something unrecognizable by its Founders. But what they gave us was nihilism—the destruction of norms, laws, and customs. There is no border, no criminal justice system, no real president any more.

The America-Last Biden administration is reportedly allowing hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants to request flights over the southern border and directly into the United States. The Biden administration has been trying to hide the true scope of the illegal alien invasion of our country through the CBP (Customs and Border Protection) One program. As I previously explained, hundreds of thousands of migrants every year can apply for a pseudo-legitimization through the CBP One app, meaning that the Biden administration was claiming a reduction in illegal crossings by the simple expedient of labeling many thousands of barely-vetted illegals legitimate. But that’s not the only disturbing aspect of the CBP One program.
