Time Yet for the Flat Tax?

By comment

Taxes have become a big issue again in this election season. Every democrat on the ballet has a least one or two wacky schemes they claim are free. Free college, free healthcare, etc. But when pressed, they have to admit that taxes will be drastically raised to pay for for these plans.

And the reason they can get away with it is our progressive tax system.

I’ve been a proponent of the Steve Forbes Flat tax plan for decades. I even supported him in 1996 when he ran for president. One of my sons and I even met him on the campaign trail and had an hour-long conversation with him. very smart man.

It was then that I first heard of his flat tax idea, as he explained it to me in detail.

Well., he’s still pushing it and like then, it’s still a great idea.

Prager University thought so, as they asked Mr. Forbes to expound upon it for one of their famous short videos: read more

Self-Hating White Guy Michael Moore Spouts Off Again

By comment

Don’t you just love how pasty white guys get a pass from the leftist media, just because they are themselves radical leftists. They whine and complain how white Trump voters have been so privileged and are scared to death that the White American will soon become a minority.

And dough-boy Michael Moore is one of the worst. He demonstrates his radical ideology once again and a hatred for his own race.

UGLY: Michael Moore Compares White Trump Voters to Pro-Apartheid South Africans

Far-left filmmaker Michael Moore joined MSNBC’s Hardball and host Chris Matthews on Tuesday to not only trumpet his endorsement of Bernie Sanders (despite previous skepticism about the 2020 field) but offer the hideous claim that white Trump voters of all economic stripes are racist on the level of pro-apartheid South Africans.

This ugly comparison came about part way through the block thanks to Matthews pondering “why” working class white voters like those Moore knows from his native Michigan “stick with” President Trump through all the controversies and now impeachment. read more

  • The Army is developing a long range cannon with a range in excess of 1,000 miles.
  • The Army wants a prototype by 2023.
  • The cannon, along with Army hypersonic missiles, will allow the service to strike targets far behind enemy lines.

The U.S. Army is pushing ahead with plans to field a cannon with an astounding 1,000-mile+ range. The cannon, along with hypersonic weapons, will allow the service to attack long range, strategic-level targets far beyond the reach of existing Army systems.

According to Defense News, the Army’s program manager for long range fires, Col. John Rafferty, the service expects the gun to have a range of 1,000 nautical miles—or 1,150 statute miles. The technology behind the cannon is described as “cutting edge” that’s so advanced that the service is not sure if the gun would be affordable.

$2.4 Million Wasted on a Public School Bathroom

By comment

What’s the one thing that all public school systems have in common? That’s right – they’re always crying poverty. no matter how much money we taxpayers spend on public education, it’s just never enough. Unfortunately, most times the money is not spent educating our kids. It’s wasted on palatial buildings and politically correct nonsense that won’t help the children learn a thing.

Yet we still keep electing the same idiots to run our public schools and flush the taxpayer’s money down the drain.

So, in a way, we only have ourselves to blame – both for electing them and allowing them to possibly permanently damage our kids.

Case in point from the Blaze:

A Pennsylvania school district is set to drop a hefty sum on a brand-new gender-neutral changing facility for students, according WTXF-TV.

The station reported that Garden Spot High School in New Holland will eliminate traditional boys and girls locker rooms with the $2.4 million project. Renovations are expected to be completed by December 2020. read more

Brain-connected machines that capture and translate electrical signals are showing great promise across a number of areas, but one with massive potential is the world of prosthetics. Scientists exploring these possibilities at Johns Hopkins University are now reporting a big breakthrough, demonstrating a system that enables a quadriplegic to control two prosthetics arms at once using only his thoughts, and also feel a sense of touch coming back the other way. read more

Dems Waste Our Money Blaming Big Oil for Climate Change

By comment

The scam that was Global Warming was very good, but not perfect. However the left has discovered that just altering the name has created the world’s most perfect hoax.

Yes, Climate Change is in fact the world’s most perfect scam. It’s the only scam in history perpetrated on the entire planet, with a basis in fact.

All scams, even really good ones are based on a falsehood. But this one is different. Climate Change is based on a cold, hard, scientific and provable fact – that the climate has always and ever will change – and we can’t stop it. It’s brilliant!

And all it takes to advance the hoax are leftists looking for a payday and a desire to punish those they dislike and disagree with. Oh, and to garner votes from their equally dim constituency.

Then they just need to choose a demon and head out after them. And the tab is conveniently paid by us, the taxpayer.

Gait speed, or the pace at which a person walks, has long been effectively used as a biomarker for neurological and physiological health in older subjects. A fascinating new study is for the first time suggesting that gait speed may also be an effective measure of biological aging for someone in their 40s. read more

WND Exclusive – The Warren Wealth Tax is Nothing New

By comment

from Brent Smith for World Net Daily:

Those who back the notion that Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax is a great idea have given it little to no thought.

The Warren wealth tax is tailor-made to cater to the angry “income inequality” crowd on the left, because when people think of a wealth tax they think of a tax only on the wealthy – a “soak the rich” tax.

Warren’s wealth tax can also be thought of as a veiled property tax. read more

Podcast – Squad Endorses Old White Guy – Syria Will Backfire on Us

By comment

by: Brent Smith

Why would the Nouveau-Politburo Endorse Sanders?

Last week, the Squad, or 3 of the 4 Squad members, less Ariana Pressley, announced that they are endorsing Bernie Sanders for president.

To many, me included, it was quite a surprise. But I wasn’t thinking. Shock was my just my knee jerk reaction. I, like many, thought – why would the Squad, who are the embodiment of race and feminist identity politics, embrace and endorse, the oldest, the whitest, the straightest, the most monogamous MAN!!

And I mean – they have to know that Sanders doesn’t have a prayer of winning the nomination.

He’s been steadily sinking in the polls. Then there is the heart attack.

Why would they back a loser?

Syria will Backfire on us

How do I know? Easy. Because these types of “foreign entanglements” always end poorly, if not in disaster. It’s why George Washington warned us about getting involved in all the worlds problems. At the very least, we end up with a permanent footprint after the fighting stops, because we know the second we leave, they’re fighting again.

Those are our choices – just leave and let whatever is going happen – happen – or stay forever. Someday we, as a nation, are going to have to decide they we can’t rescue everyone.

And allying with the Kurds is a bad idea. They are not the Iraqi Kurds. These guys are communists and terrorists and they will never be our friends. read more

Back to Russia?

By comment

Guest post by John C. Velisek, USN (Ret.)
for the Common Constitutionalist

Knowing that progressive socialists will never give up on attempting to take President Trump out of office, some further steps and lies will come along before the end of President Trump’s first term. It is informative that now nothing is being said about the Russian collusion hoax that Hillary and the other liars in government set up to entrap our President. The American people understand that, as even Peter Strozk said, there was no there, there.

The progressive socialists who want power, so that they can wield it to force the American people to conform to the agenda that they have laid out for us, will not give up. They cannot admit what the President has done to make this country better. They can’t understand or accept that the America people turn away from socialist doctrine that they want so much for us. read more
