About This Whole Tax Thing.....

It's unamerican to use the phrase "get away with" as the self-righteous Senator Spartacus Booker tweeted this morning in reference to DJT's use of Tax law.  It's like accusing me of speeding when I'm going 75 in a 75 mph zone. I'm not "getting away with" it.  I'm going the speed limit!  Change the speed limit if that's the wrong top speed. Crimes are the things that have been defined as crimes. It's particularly irksome for a legislator to talk like that, shifting the blame for the legislature's own failures.

And I find it very interesting that the NYT, strongly motivated to find tax crimes and connections to Russia, seems to have only found that Trump might be a faker, not the billionaire business genius he purports to be. But, it seems, the main thing he is doing is putting more money into his businesses than he takes out, and that may be a wise or at least legally authorized way to run his affairs.

Now, he's forced to explain that to us, and maybe we will be outraged that the tax laws are currently arranged to allow people to escape taxes, but maybe we will accept instruction that the outrage should be directed at Congress... even at Joe Biden.

And I'm pretty sure the accountants for the wealthy Hollywood types tweeting about this 'crime' of using the tax code as written, are laughing the asses off at the hypocrisy about now......

A Good Monday Morning

Guest Post- Uncle Al: “Coulter’s Worth”

by Everyone's Favorite Uncle @IOTWReport

Disliking Ann Coulter for good reason fortunately doesn’t prevent me from acknowledging her abilities and appreciating those pieces of hers where her writing and analysis skills overcome her character flaws.

I just read a column of hers published a few days ago at Taki’s Magazine about the sad and infuriating story of Omaha bar owner Jake Gardner, an Iraq War veteran and Trump supporter. He’s the man who was attacked by BLM thugs, and while in a choke hold fired his pistol over his back and killed his assailant. Omaha’s elected DA, the DA’s assistant, and of the police homicide detectives studied the many video recordings of the event and unanimously concluded that the shooting was legitimate self defense.

Of course, that couldn’t stand. A “special prosecutor” was brought in, murder and “terroristic threat” charges filed, and Gardner was arrested. Gardner’s landlord (Jake owned two bars) evicted him. Coulter says of Gardner’s friends’ attempt to set up a GoFundMe page to help pay for competent legal representation

“GoFundMe’s response? They immediately and repeatedly took down the page, based on their clearly stated policy: We don’t like you. Here’s a thought, GoFundMe: Guaranteeing a fair trial for an individual accused of a crime isn’t the same as defending the thing he’s accused of. That’s the whole point: Gardner wanted to prove that he was innocent. Nope! No fair trial, no fair press, no livelihood, no GoFundMe. No chance.”

As we now know, the innocent and overwhelmed Jake Gardner then killed himself.

Coulter makes some stark observations at the end of this piece. 

It is worth reading. - Uncle Al

Are They Really This Stupid or Just Gaslighting Their Audience!

You'd think a cable news anchor, especially one with a Law Degree, and someone handed the responsibility of reporting on and discussing national politics would be familiar with some of the most basic elements of the U.S. Constitution. You know, like what it says about stuff and how the laws work and all that. You would think these anchors would know a little more than the average citizen. Right?

But what we have in our media is not just breathtaking amount of ignorance. You see, knowledge and experience have nothing to do with becoming a journalist or a reporter or even an anchor. All that matters is that your politics are correct and that you are willing to whore out your credibility to a point where you will stand in front of a burning building and reassure viewers they are witnessing a “peaceful protest.”

Here are just the latest examples the preening Constitutional ignorance of a few of our favorite kick balls. First up we have the always fabulous Don Lemon. Don Lemon Believes he's smart. Don Lemon Believes the Supreme Court Rewrites the U.S. Constitution:

"You’re going to have to get rid of the Electoral College. Because the minority in this country decides who the judges are and they decide who the president is. Is that fair? If Joe Biden wins, Democrats can stack the Court and they can do that amendment and they can get it passed."

Frankly, listening to Don Lemon trying to rationalize most anything makes my hair hurt.

Don Lemon actual believes if Joe Biden was president, he could stack the Supreme Court with a bunch of judges and those judges can eliminate the Electoral College by crossing something out on the Constitution, or something.  Sorry Don, you should know by now the founders were smart enough to build in the ability to change things, just not at the whim of emotional media snowflakes. Nothing and no body can make changes in the Constitution without the approval of two-thirds of both houses of Congress followed by ratification by three quarters of our 50 state legislatures. But we know Don Lemon is confused about a lot of things.

Next we have the rage of the menopausal Alisyn Camerota who time is not being kind to, who tells her audience of tens of many that overturning Roe v. Wade automatically outlaws abortion. NO, no, no Alisyn. If the Supreme Court were to overturn Roe v. Wade, the legality of abortion would be left to each of the 50 states, as it should be as delegated by that pesky 10th Amendment. Yeah, that one in the Constitution....

And of course we can't leave out the Cuomo family sleazeball, Cuomo the Younger, Fredo, who's smart and somehow got himself a fancy law degree and passed the bar.

Speaking on the violent attacks on police stations, looting and burning of buildings Fredo recently pronounced "show me where it says protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful" Guess he missed the "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances" part at the very beginning.

This same stupe also told his viewers “hate speech is excluded” from Constitutional protection.  There is nothing in the Constitution about “hate speech.” It’s a misnomer, an undefinable recently-invented political correct term to beat people with. 

So there you go. These are but a small sample from CNN's self-appointed elite. Ignorant Tools, or Gaslighting Apparatchiks. You decide.

Paul Krugman Goes Full Paul Krugman in Election Day Conspiracy Theory

Two Time Winner of the Prestigious DMF 'AssHat of the Year', 2011 & 2014.

Excerpts from Sister Toldjah @RS

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is prone to pushing far-out conspiracy theories, theories that were no doubt pulled from the murky pits of the leftist fever swamps he visits on those rare occasions he feels the need to venture out of the NYC bubble in which he currently resides.

He has, without evidence, floated absurd fact-free theories about DJT.  Consumed with TDS, his favorite conspiracy theories of all seems to be the ones where he envisions Trump “stealing” the election. He’s written numerous Twitter threads detailing how he thinks things will play out, and a few columns about it, too.

The latest example of the TDS consuming Krugman beyond all hope came today when declared that dark days were ahead for America, not thanks to the left-wing Antifa/BLM-led riots that are happening in Democrat-run cities like his, not thanks to the unhinged leftists who are threatening to “burn the country down” in the aftermath of RBG’s death, but thanks to Trump and Republicans, who he claims will take drastic measures if the election doesn’t go their way.

from a twitter thread unroll:

"I wonder how many people are ready for just how bad the next six weeks plus are going to be. This is going to be the most dangerous election since 1860, with substantial odds that America as we know it will be damaged or even destroyed. /1   Trump's campaign strategy is to brazen it out with obvious lies: the virus isn't a threat, we have a vaccine, the economy is booming, violent mobs are roaming the streets of New York. Many people will believe him./2   Even so, it probably — probably — won't be enough. He's behind in the polls, and the two most cited models give him a 15-23 percent chance of winning. 3/   There is, however, a near-zero percent chance that he'll accept the result if he loses. He'll try to stop counting of absentee ballots, claim massive fraud, and probably try to get the Supreme Court to overturn the result. 4/   Expect violence from Trump supporters, maybe lots of it, both to disrupt voting on Election Day and in the days that follow. Is this overheated? So far Trump and his party have borne out every prediction by pessimists and made fools of optimists. 5/   If you aren't terrified, you aren't paying attention. But terror isn't productive; you should be asking what you personally can do to save democracy, which is very much under threat." 6/ 

Expect violence from Trump supporters“?? 

Like most of our “intellectual betters” on the left, Krugman has once again demonstrated that he lives in a bubble of complete cluelessness and obliviousness to the rotten things going on all around him, all perpetrated by extremists on his side of the aisle.

In reality, what’s really “terrifying” here is that Krugman and his ilk can’t see the forest for the trees. He is feeding directly into the dangerous and false Election Day narratives being weaved by Democrats and other media figures like him who four years later have still not accepted the results of the last presidential election.

If there is any post-election day violence, it will most assuredly be plotted and coordinated by some of the same repugnant slugs on the radical left who have orchestrated what has played out in cities like Portland and Seattle, and one of the people we can look to blame for at least in part inspiring the violence will be none other than Paul Krugman and the NYT.

Dems Pitch New Circus Tent : SCOTUS Nomination

Joe Biden has reiterated his plan to put Sheneneh on the SCOTUS bench. He has explicitly made it clear that white women and men of all races need not apply for his Supreme Court list. No Sir!  By reducing a Supreme Court nominee to their race and gender might pass for “woke” for some these days.  But even though it’s being done by Joe Biden and the Democratic Party, it’s surely not “progressive” in any meaningful sense of the word.  This rigid use of race as a qualification doesn’t help diversity one bit.  In fact, it would hurt whatever African American woman Biden ended up selected. She would no doubt be qualified in her own right but would be forever viewed as diversity pick.

By Biden's word, she would go down in history not as a trailblazer but as the token black woman Biden picked after disqualifying most of the candidate pool through identity politics. This would be an undeserved insult to the potential nominee, who may well have been selected anyway on her own merits in an open process. Even worse, she'd be forever known as connected with Joe Biden.  

To turn it around on you and your identity politics swabbies, "it's not a black womans seat'.
