Dems Lying About Taxes: What Else Is New?

When Scott and I began writing newspaper op-eds and magazine pieces circa 1990, one of the subjects we focused on was the Democrats’ persistent lying about taxes. One of our articles in National Review, which exposed lies that Democratic journalists told about former President George H.W. Bush’s taxes, generated a signed, hand-typed letter from Bush to us.

The Left has been calling for violence relentlessly since Donald Trump re-assumed his presidency — and once again, they’ve got it.
It’s a horrific story, and we warn readers that there’s disturbing content ahead.
The facts:
The wife of the elderly San Diego man brutally beaten outside his MAGA-inspired “Trump House” said there’s “no hope” for her husband after the vicious attack left him fighting for his life.
Kerry Sheron, 69, was in critical condition following the violent assault outside his Escondido property on Wednesday afternoon.
His wife, Maria, revealed to The California Post through tears that her husband isn’t expected to survive.

Key leaders and groups within the CCP-linked Singham Network quickly began to mobilize to defend Raul Castro in the wake of the Justice Department’s indictment against the Cuban Communist leader this week.
The DOJ’s indictment of former Cuban strongman Raul Modesto Castro Ruz on Wednesday — just the latest example of the Trump Administration’s efforts to launch a maximum pressure campaign against the Communist island regime — saw swift pushback from key members of the financial and activist network led by wealthy Marxist and China-based businessman Neville Roy Singham. The DOJ revealed that Raul Castro, the brother of former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, has been charged in connection with a 1996

House Democrats declared war Wednesday on Democratic Texas congressional candidate Maureen Galindo, who stated she wanted to imprison “American Zionists.”
Galindo wrote in an Instagram post on May 13 that she wanted to turn an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) processing center into a “prison for American Zionists” and former ICE officers for so-called “human trafficking.” Democratic Reps. Jared Moskowitz of Florida and Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey vowed to force a vote on expelling her from the House if she were to be sworn in, arguing that her statement were “insane” and “antisemitic.”
“If for some reason, Maureen Galindo wins the Congressional election in TX-35,
FLORENCE, Ariz. — An Arizona prisoner convicted of killing another man by throwing gasoline at him and lighting a match was put to death Wednesday, the first of three executions planned this week around the U.S.
Leroy Dean McGill, 63, was pronounced dead at 10:26 a.m. PDT following a lethal injection at the Arizona State Prison Complex in Florence. McGill was convicted of murder in the death of Charles Perez, who was attacked with his girlfriend in a north Phoenix apartment on July 13, 2002.
It was the first lethal injection carried out this year in Arizona, and McGill didn’t appear to be resisting at any point during the procedure.
Bad Ideas Never Die

Price controls are in the Hall of Fame of bad ideas. They have an unbroken record of failure, stretching back literally thousands of years. And yet, they remain alluring to people with no knowledge of either history or economics, or–probably more relevant–to failing governments.
There was a time when Britain’s government was known for a certain level of financial sophistication. No longer:
[British Chancellor] Rachel Reeves is pressuring supermarkets to cap food prices in an attempt to limit inflation unleashed by the Iran war.
The Iran war has nothing to do with it. The inflation rate on grocery prices in the U.K. is lower than in mid-2025, and the world has
A Shameful NAACP Boycott
23 replies
I am willing to assume that there was a time when the NAACP did some good. (I do not make the same assumption about the SPLC.) But that time is long, long gone. For many years, the NAACP has been a force for ill, not for good. An excellent example is its just-launched boycott campaign:
The NAACP is calling on Black athletes and fans to boycott the athletic programs of public universities in states that are taking steps that the nation’s oldest civil rights group says are restricting Black voting rights.
There is no conceivable theory on which anyone is restricting black voting rights.

There has been a huge shift within the public and private sectors on climate change as it has dawned on governments and companies that the United States, under President Donald Trump, will no longer be a patsy to a cabal of international elites who seek to impose costly climate restrictions upon American businesses and international climate boondoggles upon nations.
Trump’s actions are draining the climate swamp of resources, supporters, spirit, and momentum. These include defunding climate boondoggles across federal agencies, pulling the United States out of the Paris climate agreement, withdrawing the United States from dozens of climate-monitoring and wealth-transfer organizations (most importantly the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change),
Minnesota Democratic Rep. Aisha Gomez is facing calls to lose her tax committee chairmanship after allegedly telling a Republican colleague to "go f**king shoot himself" on the House floor.
House Speaker Lisa Demuth and Majority Leader Harry Niska want her removed and are demanding Gov. Tim Walz and Democratic leadership publicly condemn her.
It started Thursday night. Democrats tried to force a vote on HF5140, a gun-control bill that would ban semiautomatic "assault weapons," restrict large-capaThey knew it had no chance. The House is tied 67-67, and not a single Republican was going to flip. The vote failed along party lines. Democrats then launched an overnight sit-in at the
Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) Here we go again. With the midterm elections now less than half a year away, it would be nice if all we had on our minds were the classic election concerns of yesteryear, like messaging and the quality of our candidates. If the fortunes of the Republican Party were riding on regular stuff like that, I'd be throwing money at Polymarket and betting on a GOP romp in November.
We're dealing with 21st century Democrats here, though. They don't do much in the way of developing policies that appeal to American voters in order to win elections. The strengths of the
It's tempting to say that the worst hoax of the 21st century was the COVID hysteria that did so much damage to the United States and the world. A virus that is no more dangerous than a bad flu season was used to upend the world, destroying lives, separating families, redistributing tens of trillions in wealth from the poor and middle class to the wealthy, and destroying a generation's education and mental health.
But as bad as the COVID myths were, I think it is safe to say that the Climate hysteria and all the downstream consequences of reshaping our lives and economies around a hysterical overreaction
Recently, a friend in media asked how he could acquire a New York City press pass.
I sent him the form to fill out, but I told him it was a longshot without a legitimate body of work.
How foolish of me.
Apparently, all you need is a Substack and a lust for political violence.
Perhaps it helps if you give yourself a cutsie name like the “Mangionistas.” On Monday morning, Luigi Mangione appeared for a hearing in Manhattan, and the aforementioned “Mangionistas,” aka his murder cheer squad, showed up to support him.
And these extremists have been granted full legitimacy by mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Executive Director of the Press Credentials Office, Samer Nasser.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday demanded that Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough be fired, arguing that over the years, her rulings have been “brutal” to Republicans.
The parliamentarian serves at the pleasure of the Senate Majority Leader, who can instruct the Senate Secretary to dismiss the official at any time.
Trump expressed frustration in a post on Truth Social that Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has refused to take this step, raging that the “Dumocrats cheat, lie, and steal, especially when it comes to Votes in Elections, but stick together, whereas the Republicans allow the Elizabeth MacDonoughs of the World to stay in power, and brutalize us.”

Tennessee GOP Gov. Bill Lee on Thursday delayed an inmate's execution by one year after the state Department of Corrections' medical staff failed to find a suitable vein to administer the lethal injection drugs into.
The man scheduled to be executed was Tony Carruthers, who was convicted of three 1994 murders and sentenced to death in 1996.
Lee scheduled the new execution to take place on May 21, 2027, exactly one year after he was initially scheduled for execution.
Carruthers' attorneys have argued that he was wrongfully convicted and stated he has mental illnesses that “continue to impair his understanding of his legal situation and his impending
Seattle’s lefty Mayor Katie Wilson admitted she was wrong to slam Starbucks and push for a boycott of the mega-coffee chain birthed in the Pacific City.
Wilson, 43, issued a terse mea culpa to the New York Times this week as questions swirl about whether the liberal Northwest city can attract and retain businesses, including Starbucks, which recently chose to expand its footprint in Tennessee.
The democratic socialist made waves last fall when she joined a barista union rally as mayor-elect and expressed her disgust with one of Seattle’s most recognizable businesses.
Israel has created a list of all Palestinians who took part in the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attacks and is working to kill or arrest each one, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, citing current and former Israeli officials with knowledge of the matter.
According to the report, the list includes all Gazans who were identified as having crossed the border on October 7, as well as all Hamas leaders involved in orchestrating the massacre, during which some 1,200 people were killed and 251 taken hostage, mostly civilians, in the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
The Senate RINO’s are threatening to obstruct President Trump’s midterm agenda. GOP Strategist Caroline Wren set the record state on Bannon’s War Room.
Caroline Wren: Over the last 72 hours, like these, the only people that were lobbying for a Cornyn endorsement were other GOP senators. And in the last 72 hours, the GOP senators had come out against President Trump on several things.
They told him:
** We’re not passing the Save America Act
** We’re not going to nuke the filibuster
** We’re not going to fund (security) for your ballroom
** The weaponization fund’s a bad idea
** W’re not going to fire the parliamentarian.
Virginia’s new Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger has just announced that she is signing an executive order to keep ICE agents away from polling places.
Why do you suppose such a thing would be necessary?
Democrats assure us that illegal aliens are not voting because they are forbidden from doing so by law. So why would they be worried about ICE showing up at polling places? It just doesn’t make any sense. Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger said Tuesday that she plans to issue an executive order on Wednesday to help election workers respond if federal agents show up at polling sites in Virginia.
The massive social‑services fraud carried out in Gov. Tim Walz’s Minnesota has been one of the top stories of the year as “The Quality Learing Center” came into our national lexicon and people like Walz and Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-05) kept saying, “nothing to see here, folks.”
Now the chickens have come home to roost for one of the masterminds, however, and she will be staring at concrete walls for many a year. Cry me a river: “It was never my goal to do this.” Say what? You defrauded the people for hundreds of millions of dollars, and it was an accident?
A woman who had her breasts removed after identifying as "nonbinary" has reached a confidential settlement after suing her mental health providers.

An Air France flight was blocked from entering US airspace and instead diverted to Canada over fears of one passenger’s exposure to the Ebola outbreak in Africa.
Air France Flight 378 was scheduled to land at Detroit Metro Wayne Airport in Michigan late Wednesday afternoon before it changed course for Montreal Trudeau International Airport in the Canadian city.
US officials stopped the flight from entering the country after it was revealed a passenger from the Democratic Republic of Congo was allowed to board “in error,” the US Customs and Border Protection told CBS News.
“Due to entry restrictions put in place to reduce the risk of the Ebola virus,
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said Thursday that the city will use a lottery system to distribute 1,000 World Cup tickets at $50 apiece to residents of the five boroughs. In collaboration with the New York-New Jersey host committee, the mayor said the city is also providing free round-trip bus transportation to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey for lottery winners attending the June matches. “A World Cup is coming to our backyard, and we want to ensure working-class New Yorkers have the opportunity to be part of it,” Mamdani said in a Thursday statement. “We sat down with the Host
