Hmmm, isn’t it interesting that one socialist/communist to another is offering advice and council. Fundamentally destroy American is now let’s destroy New Your city. IMO if Mamdani is elected is will make New York a barren wasteland of drugs, crime and radical behavior rivaling third world countries. We will have our own Gaza right here in the good old USA. Rh

In the days after it became clear Zohran Mamdani had won New York City’s June mayoral primary, much of the Democratic establishment began to panic.

Former President Barack Obama, the last Democrat to captivate the party’s base, got on the phone. In a lengthy call in June, Mr. Obama congratulated Mr. Mamdani, offered him advice about governing and discussed the importance of giving people hope in a dark time, according to people with knowledge of the conversation.

Others in Mr. Obama’s orbit have also shown a keen interest in Mr. Mamdani and his campaign. Jon Favreau, who served as Mr. Obama’s speechwriter, and Dan Pfeiffer, a former senior adviser, have been in communication with the Democratic strategist Morris Katz, among Mr. Mamdani’s closest aides.

Stupidocrisy: Dems signal a coming storm of nasty gaslighting

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

By Bill Wilson, KIN Senior Analyst

WASH—Jul 16, 2025 —KIN– 

Concise report of what matters to most in the BBB. I personally wish more spending cuts, we have plenty of pork to get rid of, but I definitely will take the taxi cuts! Let’s start working now for the midterms to elect physically conservative candidates. Rh

The “Big Beautiful Bill” (BBB) is shaping up to be one of the most consequential pieces of legislation for the American people in a generation. It delivers targeted, tangible benefits to workers, seniors, and small businesses—yet Democrats and their media echo chamber are doing everything they can to convince Americans it’s a disaster. What’s really going on here is a masterclass in gaslighting, where facts are buried under fear, and benefits are branded as betrayal. The Democrats’ strategy heading into the 2026 midterms is clear: demonize the BBB, punish President Trump, and discredit the will of the people who put him and a Republican majority in power. This gaslighting will be a constant drumbeat for over a year.

At its core, the BBB provides a clear lift for ordinary Americans: Working-class families will see more take-home pay through the elimination of taxes on tips and overtime; Senior citizens get a substantial Social Security tax exemption—individuals keeping an additional $6,000, couples up to $12,000—allowing 88% of seniors to avoid taxes on their benefits entirely; Middle-income families gain an expanded child tax credit and higher standard deductions, with some households seeing effective tax cuts of 16%; Small businesses, the backbone of the American economy, benefit from a permanent extension of the 20% pass-through deduction, first introduced in the Trump tax cuts. In addition, many of the popular Trump policies on immigration reform, government accountability, national and border security, and tax reductions become law.

They are real-world changes that immediately impact everyday Americans—especially those long ignored by Washington’s elite class. But instead of acknowledging these historic reforms, Democrats are in full-blown panic mode. Progressive firebrand Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez exploded over the bill, warning it would make current economic conditions “look like child’s play.” The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has already branded the legislation the “Big Ugly Bill,” rolling out a multi-million-dollar messaging blitz that aims to vilify the very relief Americans just received. There’s no constructive policy coming from the left—only resistance. No counter-legislation, no competing tax plan, no alternative for seniors or small businesses. Just rage. Their complicit media shills will amplify the negative, while ignoring the benefits. 

Outlets have already led with claims that 10 to 12 million may lose Medicaid coverage, deficit projections, and warnings about benefits to the wealthy, while carefully leaving out what the bill actually does for lower- and middle-income Americans. Make no mistake: this is the same psychological operation we saw during COVID. Back then, fear ruled the day. Today, it’s political fear designed to overwhelm your senses, distort your judgment, and trick you into rejecting what’s in your best interest. Proverbs 22:3 says, “The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple pass on and suffer for it.” Now is the time to double down on discernment. This is not just a political battle. It’s a test of whether common sense can still cut through the noise. Stay sharp. Stay free. Anything less is, say it with me…Stupidocrisy.

House GOP Set to Vote on Bill that Could Lead to End of IRS

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

1/24/2023 05:17:34 PM Abigail Robertson

Abolish the IRS – that’s what some House Republicans are calling for.  In House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) efforts to secure the needed support from his party to be their leader, he reportedly promised members of the House Freedom Caucus a vote on a bill that would replace the current federal tax system – including the income tax – with a national consumption tax, which could lead to the end of the Internal Revenue Service. 

While Democrats and President Joe Biden are working to boost the IRS by hiring 87,000 employees over the next 10 years, Republicans have introduced a bill that could do away with the agency entirely. The measure is called the Fair Tax Act. 

“Very few people like paying taxes but if they’re going to pay taxes they would much rather pay a consumption tax as opposed to a property tax or an income tax or a payroll tax,” said U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA), who introduced the bill.

Undecided voters pan Harris’ ‘condescending reactions’ as both sides claim win in VP debate

“I might get #cancelled for this, but my undecided focus group doesn’t like how Kamala Harris interacts with her opponent. We saw this in the Dem debates – she is applauded for her knowledge, but they just don’t like her ‘condescending reactions.’  #VPDebate” — Pollster Frank Luntz

Since when is it ok to lie, steal and to cheat in polite society? Not one democrat has said one bad word about the Antifa-BLM gang of thieves and thugs. Now that we have a VP running with good old Joe, the race is on to scrub and explain away any far left idea Kamala had promoted. Oh where have you gone morals, decency and truth? I could get all Bible on you and quote several scriptures to back my thought, but let’s just say we have lost our way big time. I long for the days where truth and honesty was a valued trait, and the day whether true or not politicians where called to “serve” the American people not enrich themselves at the teat of government.

Welcome to the most pro death Presidential ticket. A ticket that welcomes the teaching of Islam and bans Bible groups in schools due to the so called “separation of church and state”. Read Jefferson’s letter and get a different view. A ticket that allows protesters turned anarchist to roam the streets at will but closes churches to stop the deadly spread of a virus with the mortality rate lower than the seasonal flu.

If this pair ever get close to 1600 Pennsylvania religious freedom as we know it will be under an extreme attack. Kamala has said if we ever regain power, that is what they want not to govern, we will make Trump supporters pay. Hmmm sounds like a threat to me. Taxes will skyrocket and the dow will plummet to record lows. Israel will have to stand alone against the world. Government run healthcare will return and so will death panels. The equality law will pass and the LGBT fringe (under 4% of the population) will become a protected class of citizens.

I would say all is not lost if the republicans keep the Senate, but we all know they will fold like a broken chair under a 300 lb. lineman.

In the words of that great philosopher and thinker, C’mon man, you got to be kidding me.

Rep. Buck: Actual national debt is $30 trillion, ‘There’s no conversation’ in D.C. about repaying it

‘This troubles me greatly, but all I see is more spending’ with ‘no conversation in Washington D.C. about how to pay this money back,’ Rep. Buck says

Rep. Ken Buck told Just the News that the national debt is $30 trillion when the actions that the Federal Reserve has taken during the pandemic are factored into the total.

“This troubles me greatly but all I see is more spending. So how high do we get? We are going to continue to spend until the markets say enough is enough and nobody buys the bonds and then we have the cliff that we go off of,” Buck said during an exclusive interview.

The government spent $864 billion more than it took in during June, bringing the deficit to a record $2.7 trillion so far this year.

According to Treasury Department data, the debt held by the public is $20.6 trillion, and the total outstanding national debt is more than $26.5 trillion. 

Buck, author of the new book, “Capitol of Freedom: Restoring American Greatness,” said he wrote the book, in part, because progressive politicians want to take the country in the wrong direction.

“I don’t think that our founding fathers would recognize our political system now,” Buck said. “I think that ‘Capitol of Freedom’ really spells that out because our founding fathers intended to realign the relationship between government and the people and the people are in charge of government and that’s something that didn’t exist before the United States Declaration of Independence and Constitution

“So I hope long before then we act responsibly and dial this back. But the reality is that we are at 30 trillion because we’ve authorized the Fed to engage in, you know, debt, accumulating more debt. And so I think that the spending is one of the largest issues to come out of this COVID. And unfortunately, there’s no conversation in Washington D.C., about how to pay this money back,” he also said.

“This group calls themselves progressives. They are regressives. We are moving backwards. We are moving more and more towards a totalitarian system that existed with a monarchy in Europe or some other country, and it’s just unfortunate, but our founders would see so much of what’s going on now in this country as contrary to what they planned,” he also said. by Nicholas Ballasay from JUSTTHENEWS.COM
