The Press Release is HERE NEW YORK –(AP) — Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Monday proposed eliminating income taxes for millions of Americans, and lower rates for the highest-income earners, as part of a plan he said would grow the U.S. economy at a pace not seen in years.
Trump’s plan for an overhaul of the U.S. tax code would eliminate federal income taxes on individuals earning less than $25,000 and married couples earning less than $50,000. He said those individuals would receive “a new one page form to send the IRS saying, ‘I win.'”
Trump’s plan would also disproportionally benefit wealthy earners by lowering the highest income tax rate from 39.6 percent to 25 percent, and businesses by cutting their tax rate — from major corporations to mom-and-pop shops — to no more than 15 percent. (more…)
The BLM movement has been well documented to include some of the most anti-social, hate-filled elements of the Occupy crowd; only BLM one comes with specific violence toward police and law enforcement. (TPM) – Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) called on Americans to focus on racial justice and expressed her support for the Black Lives Matter movement in a Sunday speech at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate in Boston.
Warren referenced the late Sen. Ted Kennedy’s (D-MA) focus on civil rights issues and said, “If his life and death had a meaning, it was that we should not hate but love one another; we should use our powers not to create conditions of oppression that lead to violence, but conditions of freedom that lead to peace.”
She said that since the Civil Rights Act, the United States has not come close enough to equality.
“Fifty years later, we have made real progress toward creating the conditions of freedom — but we have not made enough progress,” she said, according to her prepared remarks. (more…)
“You shall not pass” – So say the people of Finland as they turn away “refugees” trying to make their way into their country. Remarkable similarities to when the feds were trying to ship the illegal aliens around the U.S. Communities blocking the passage.
FINLAND – More than hundred people gathered on Saturday in Torneå to protest against immigration. YLE’s reporter, Jessica Stolzmann, reports that there were many Finnish flags and people of all ages in place.
Just before 13 o’clock the participants formed a human wall on the Finnish side of the border between Sweden and Finland.
– We are opposed to so many asylum seekers coming to Finland. They have come through lots of safe European countries before they reached Finland, and they should have stayed there, said a middle-aged couple to YLE, during the demonstration. (more…)

And then you have those powerful entities, the adverse interests, who seek to retain their personal benefit within the construct of a corrupted political system.
Candidate Jeb Bush attends Chamber of Commerce dinner with Fox’s Rupert Murdoch and Valerie Jarrett (December 2014)
If you were to define Wall Street you would not be able to separate various entities who are operating entirely to retain power, influence and personal benefit, at any cost.
Certainly not the least among them Rupert Murdoch (Fox, Fox Business Channel, National Geographic, FX; the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, TV Guide; Barron’s and SmartMoney; book publisher HarperCollins; film production companies 20th Century Fox, Fox Searchlight Pictures and Blue Sky Studios), and the various international business interests of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, President Tom Donohue, and a host of high-finance Hedge Fund Managers who are working earnestly to control a vulgarian uprising amid the electorate.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Lobbying Efforts 2014/2015:
These legislative priorities are not just the goals of the self interested billionaire class of connected power brokers, Wall Street. No, like ObamaCare, these goals are antithetical to the best interests of a nation. Freedom is lessened as a consequence of their passage.
Both House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Leader Mitch McConnell have facilitated the pathway to passage for these legislative priorities. While Wall Street purchased insurance policies by way of political representatives to aid the facilitation. (more…)
An NBC/WSJ Poll was released today. Within the article NBC is caught “red handed” manipulating the results to favor a preferred narrative. The polled result is so blatantly opposite of the conclusions presented there can only be one reason, intentional bias.
Here is the way NBC presented the data on the Democrat side:
NBC […] In the Democratic race, Hillary Clinton is the first choice of 42 percent of primary voters, Sanders is in second at 35 percent and Joe Biden third at 17 percent. No other Democrat gets more than 1 percent.
When Biden – who is still mulling a campaign – is removed from the field, Clinton’s lead over Sanders grows to 15 points, 53 percent to 38 percent, which suggests that Biden’s entry would hurt Clinton more than Sanders. (link)
There’s a new meme being proclaimed from the executive suites of Park Row. Encapsulated it says: “Donald Trump’s supporters are angry“.
Yeah, so? At this point, if you are on a team thinking this entire assembly of our union is headed in the right direction… you might want to revisit your proximity to the ballpark. If you look around at the passing landscape you’ll find your autopilot has taken you, not just out of the city, but out of the state the ballpark is located in…..
There’s a level of anger far deeper and more consequential than expressed rage or visible behavior. Cold Anger does not need to go to violence. For those who carry it, no conversation is needed. You cannot poll or measure it; and even those who carry it avoid discussion. And that decision has nothing whatsoever to do with any form of correctness.
Cold Anger is not hatred, it is far more purposeful.
Cold Anger absorbs betrayal silently, often prudently.
We’ve watched the shooting of cops, and the parades which follow, absorbing. Cold Anger takes notice of the liars, even from a great distance – seemingly invisible to the mob. Cold Anger will still hold open the door for the parade goer. Mannerly.
Cold Anger evidenced is more severe because it is more strategic. (more…)
FMLA is one of the most abused federally required employer mandates of all time. It’s not surprising to see Marco Rubio team up with Hillary Clinton to advance yet another progressive mandate….
WASHINGTON DC – Sen. Marco Rubio on Friday called for expanding the 1993 Family & Medical Leave Act – a central part of President Bill Clinton’s initial agenda upon taking office – to allow more American parents to spend more time with their families in need.
Speaking at the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C., Rubio said he wants to shore up the 23-year-old law because it has grown ‘insufficient’ for modern times.
Rubio reminded the audience that his parents were both born to poor families in Cuba, and only came to America after their marriage in 1956. (more…)
