More on Manchin

 

Senator Manchin was on Sunday morning TV defending his proposed “Inflation Reduction” bill. I have taken an unpopular stance (somewhat) supporting his effort … see: Surprise! (Updated). In two interviews, he clarified one issue but didn’t fill out a second.

He made it clear that there are no “tax increases” in the bill other than the killing of carried interest tax gimmick (for hedge fund managers) and an alternative minimum tax on corporate profits above $1 billion … which he called “closing tax loopholes.” I still support these changes even though I suspect that the carried interest elimination may be a deal killer.

On the environmental piece of this puzzle, he was not so candid. He talked about faster permitting of drilling for oil … and we know he wants the gas pipeline from his state. And I don’t think the EV tax credits will amount to anything … see my previous post. But, it is here where I think the deep-state boobytraps lie.

Bottom line: I like the tax fixes Manchin is proposing … but I suspect that Schumer is trying to roll him on the spending side. But I doubt that the bill will become law. 

And don’t get me started on the semiconductor bailout bill. As far as I am concerned, it’s another Democrat rewarding of bad behavior.

Trump’s 42 Policy Proposals

Reminiscent of Newt Gingrich’s onetime Contract with America, the following is a verbatim copy of a  USSA News recreation of former President’s statement of what policies he would pursue were he re-elected in 2024 … as they were presented at the recent American First Conference:

1. The remarks first emphasize the need to support police departments throughout the country and foster a culture that has a respect for law enforcement. “We have to give our police back their authority, resources, power, and prestige. Leave our police alone. Let them do their job. Give them back their RESPECT. They know what to do. We have to allow them to do it,” Trump’s plan said. 
2. In addition to supporting police departments, the policy proposal called for the restitution of “stop-and-frisk policies in cities,” adding that guns must be taken out of the hands of criminals. “If you are a convicted felon and you have a gun, you’re off the streets,” it reads. 
3. He proposed strengthening “qualified immunity and other protections for our police officers,” 
4. The remarks further called on the next set of Washington D.C. lawmakers, asking them to make emergency funds available for the hiring of police officers across the nation, as many departments face staffing issues. “We need the largest increase in the hiring of police officers in American HISTORY——to get more police on the streets than EVER before, walking every beat.”
5. The former president also advocated for a joint violence crime task force headed by both the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security, focused on “destroying” gang organizations and imposing “severe penalties.”
6. Shifting focus to the nationwide and severe drug epidemic, killing Americans on a daily basis, Trump’s policy would crack down on drug “dealers, traffickers, and narco-terrorists,” emphasizing that traffickers should “receive the death penalty.”
7. As lax bail laws and soft-on-crime policies have preceded lawlessness in many states and metro areas, such as San Francisco, Trump asserted that the federal government will intervene when “Radical Democrat politicians” will not, saying, “If Radical Democrat politicians at the state and local level REFUSE to protect public safety and instead turn criminals loose to prey upon the innocent, then the federal government will have NO CHOICE but to step in. Under these circumstances, the federal government has not just a right, but a DUTY, to use every tool, authority, and Constitutional power at its disposal to defend our citizens.”
8. The 45th President’s plan calls out the major issues of cashless bail policies, highlighting the moment that Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), the Republican nominee for governor in New York, was attacked at a campaign rally, and hours later, his accused attacker was released. “Just last week, a man tried to stab a sitting member of Congress running for governor of New York, Lee Zeldin, and under the state’s policies, the attacker was released within HOURS on cashless bail,” the statement said. “According to a study reported last week in the Wall Street Journal, a majority of murders in Baltimore are committed by suspects who should rightfully be IN PRISON, but are instead roaming free under Democrat rule. The next Congress and the next President should crack down on this insanity—and crack down hard.”
9. Another law and order proposal looks to tackle “radical and racist prosecutors” who fail to uphold the laws on the books that provide security to citizens. “Where there are radical and racist prosecutors denying citizens the full protection of the laws, those offices need to be investigated by the federal government for their systematic violations of civil rights,” it read.
10. In areas where “citizens’ most basic rights have been violated,” Trump suggested that the federal government mobilize the National Guard, regardless of gubernatorial agreement, to bring about order and lawfulness.
11. Drawing off the tenth proposal, Trump honed in on Chicago, where dozens of people being shot on a weekly basis is the norm. “Another 60 people were shot in Chicago over the weekend. This CANNOT go on any more. Every other approach has been considered and tried—and only one option remains,” the statement read. “The next president needs to send the National Guard to the most dangerous neighborhoods in Chicago until safety can be successfully restored—which can happen in a matter of weeks.”
12. The 45th commander-in-chief also laid out plans to address homelessness, emphasizing that vagrants “need to go to shelters.” The proposal further argues that “the long-term mentally ill need to go to institutions, and unhoused drug addicts need to go to rehab, or if necessary and appropriate, to jail. But wherever they go, surrendering our parks and sidewalks to crazy people is NOT AN OPTION.”
13. Moreover, he suggested tent cities be established on the outskirts of metropolitan areas, where “medical professionals including doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, and drug rehab specialists” would be brought in to help homeless individuals, the mentally ill, and drug addicts, so that they can  “get their [lives] back on track.” The statement continued, “To build millions of units of housing, or to hold homeless people in luxury hotels, which are costing a fortune, and have no medical or rehab professionals available, is fruitless.”
14. To further address these issues, Trump called on the next Congress to pass “a landmark package of public health, public safety, and mental healthcare reforms,” adding that he will be glad to “help campaign for any bill that gets the job done.”
15. Trump’s remarks continued, stating that “[w]e must restore the age-old right to SELF-DEFENSE. The federal government needs to aggressively protect the right to self-defense in every jurisdiction where it is now under threat,” Trump added. “If necessary, Congress should pass legislation spurring the Biden Administration to act.”
16. He also proposed concealed carry reciprocity.
17. The proposal also highlighted the importance of government at all levels to act on “existing statutes to stop the perverted sexualization of minor children” and singled out “sickos” who are forcing “sexual content on kindergartners, or providing puberty blockers to young children.” He adds that these people “are not just engaged in acts of depravity—in many cases, they are breaking the law, and they should be held fully accountable.”
18. In the prepared remarks, Trump re-emphasized the importance of border security, proposing that should the GOP take a majority, they ensure no more funds are used to “implement Joe Biden’s Open Borders Agenda, and to force him to deport the illegal aliens that he is now refusing to deport.”
19. Moreover, he called on Republicans to immediately begin laying “the groundwork” to implement increased border security in September’s spending bill.
20. Trump also stressed that the next GOP president, regardless of who, must reimplement “Remain in Mexico, our Safe Third agreements, asylum restrictions, enhanced rapid deportation initiatives, our surge of military resources, and much more,” adding that these should be “permanently installed.” 
21. He also called for increased funding to bring about “the largest-ever increase in the number of new ICE officers.” 
22. The aforementioned historic personnel increases must be implemented to remove those who overstay their visas. 
23. Additionally, he outlined the need for a financial penalty and bond system so that individuals who overstay their visas suffer “significant financial consequences.”
24. He added that the “National Guard can also be used to help find and remove criminal illegal aliens from our country.”
25. Trump proposed harsher penalties, including longer prison terms “for repeat immigration violators to make clear that if you flout our immigration laws, you are looking at HARD TIME,” adding. “This used to be called Kate’s Law, named after Kate Steinle, who was gunned down in San Francisco in the prime of her life by an illegal alien with 5 prior deportations. But we want to go even tougher than Kate’s Law to send a message to the world that America’s borders are closed to lawbreakers.”
26. Moreover, the 45th president called for “a dramatic sentencing enhancement” for immigration law violators to deter them, particularly those with a past of sex-related crimes, from venturing into the United States.
27. With record 40-year high inflation, Trump emphasized that “[w]e need to save our economy, and stop the inflation crippling American families.”
28. The former president also blasted the education system, asserting that “corrupt” bureaucracy must be rebuilt and the children of America be “liberated.”
29. The statements also declared that “parents’ rights” must be protected.
30. The proposal continued by emphasizing the country’s “need to save women’s sports.” 
31. The former president then called for radical race and gender theories, as well as political correctness as a whole, to be removed from the military. 
32. The prepared remarks slammed Wuhan coronavirus lockdowns and mandates, adding that “every patriot who was fired from the military” be rehired, issued an apology, and be granted back pay. 
33. Trump proposed a policy that would more easily allow for the termination of bureaucrats “who are deliberately undermining our democracy, or at minimum, just want to hold onto their” positions in order to “Drain the Swamp and root out the Deep State.”
34. He also called for “a great national effort to bring back our supply chains, bring back our factories, bring back our jobs—and secure Manufacturing INDEPENDENCE.”
35. With astronomical gas prices further burdening American families, Trump argued that the United States must regain its “energy independence” by maximizing “domestic oil and gas production” while simultaneously bringing the national average cost of fuel back under $2.50 per gallon.
36. Trump’s prepared remarks also touched on trade policy. “To build on my historically successful trade policies that brought back millions of jobs and billions of dollars, we need to strengthen our trade laws, give the President more tools to combat unfair trade, make Section 301 more usable, and make my Communist China tariffs permanent.”
37. China, who has faced no repercussions, for the damage that COVID-19 has caused around the world, nor investigation into the true roots of the disease, Trump called for the creation of a commission to hold the country “accountable.”
38. Moreover, the former president proposed resurrecting the initiative started under the Trump Administration, working to halt Chinese espionage in the United States. He noted that “Biden outrageously abolished” the effort.
39. Trump called for job search and training requirements for “able-bodied single adults” to be eligible for welfare. 
40. “We should require proof of citizenship to receive the child tax credit, to stop subsidizing illegal immigration,” the prepared remarks read.
41. Trump also touched on election integrity, advocating for “universal Voter ID” and arguing against ballot drop boxes. “Our goal should be same day voting with only paper ballots,” he added.
42. The former President concluded by honing in on Big Tech, arguing that their censorship must be stopped so that free speech can be restored.

And Pilgrim, were Trump to reascend to the presidency, I am confident that he would do his damnedest to live up to these promises. And, if he does not run, whoever does, should endorse this manifesto.

Now Pilgrim, that’s 2 of our 6 senses. Are you willing to live in such a sensory-constrained meta-world? I’m not. Not even if it costs $10 billion to construct.

Manchin and Schumer

The Republicans (including you, Mitch McConnell) are making a mistake opposing Sen. Manchin’s new bill. It eliminates the carried interest tax loophole, sets a minimum 15% corporate tax, only gives EV tax credits to those earning under $75k, encourages atomic energy generation of electricity, reduces drug prices, allows for a natural gas pipeline from West Virginia to Virginia … and spreads its spending over 10 years.

I’m OK with all of these items …

Afterward: And I will not be surprised if a few Schumer snakes are also hidden in this bill … but they may not be enough to change my mind IF all the above survives. (The AMT is only for profits over $1 billion.)

After afterward: How many people earning less than $75k will be buying $60k EVs?

Pulling Out All Stops

 

The Democrats are in a deep popularity hole going into the midterm elections. Inflation, a poor economy and a lousy stock market have them panicked. So, instead of fixing these problems, they are pulling out all the other stops on the political pipe organ.

The Jan 6 kangaroo court is smearing Trump … who isn’t even running, the abortion issue is being played to suburban women, gun control will move to the front if we happen to have another mass shooting, many college loans will be forgiven … and the Dems hope that Trump will soon announce for president in 2024 … so voters who hate him will defeat those whom he has endorsed.

A pretty formidable number of tactics to try to fend off a blue wave. The Dems might even convince Joe Biden to drop out from a presidential run in 2024 … to remove that anchor from the necks of many of their midterm candidates. All this might just work.

But what if it doesn’t … and the Trumpers win big? Well Pilgrim, I think it’s safe to say that Trump will grow to a more formidable force than he currently is. And this might be why he might roll the dice and declare his intentions before November. … maybe even today.

If he does this, he must feel fairly confident of a GOP tsunami. I’m not going to bet against him under these circumstances.

Grooming

Pilgrim, do we really need or should we support the following Boston  “grooming” event?

The historic Loring Greenough House where residents had gathered for a children’s drag queen story hour, an event in which individuals in drag read to children.

What possible value is added to such a reading by having men all gussied up as women to read to children? Other than, of course, to recruit impressionable minds into deviancy?

Perhaps we can also have junkies shoot up in front of their kindergarten classes? Or give them lessons in shoplifting?

And if one protests such nonsense? See: Boston Herald Story. (I suppose because I find such knavery objectionable, I am now a “white supremacist?” Non sequesters abound … even in the Boston Herald. Couldn’t we just call them “anti-groomers?”)
