STAND UP FOR AMERICA!

Today’s Posers

If the Dems thought that it would benefit the GOP, would they be fighting quite so hard for mail-in voting? And why would the Dems then assume that their candidates would benefit ... does it have anything to do with capturing tens ... maybe even hundreds of thousands of phantom votes? Or destroying a like number of valid ones for the GOP?

Or, more likely, both?



STAND UP FOR AMERICA!

Obvious Truth

“Dems’ modus operandi” ... aided with the help of the crooked media

Deflection

The Democrats are masters at deflection. All these California wildfires are not due to forest mismanagement on the part of these woke Libs. They are caused by that ogre “climate change” which, in turn, is Trump’s fault for pulling out of that Paris climate fraud.

Increased crime rates in many cities around the country are not due to open borders and sanctuary-city policies.  They are caused by Trump’s xenophobia and his racism.

Trump was involved in Russian collusion to win against Hillary ... when just the opposite was true. This trope is classic deflection or also known as transference by the shrinks — accusing me of doing what you, in fact, are doing.

I actually am surprised that the Dems haven’t started to make this same case — Trump is the true deflector ... and his investigation into all the intelligence community‘s malfeasance in 2016, 2017 and 2018 is to cover up for what his minions are doing today. This would be known as deflecting a deflection.

Shush ... not too loud!

Tax Cuts

There is a lot of misunderstanding regarding Trump’s 2018 tax cuts. Polls say that only 17% of Americans believe that they got a tax cut whereas our IRS says that the actual number is 66%. My own daughter was doubtful that she got a cut because her refund wasn’t as large as before ... forgetting the fact that her tax withholdings throughout the year were smaller. When we went through the numbers together she was surprised at the size of her tax savings.

The media and demagogic Dems have played up the fact that it was corporations and the rich that got the majority of these benefits. Yes, corporations generally did benefit ... which is why the afterburners are on in our economy and the stock market is way up ... benefiting many retirement accounts. But, it is not true that, in general, the wealthy made out like bandits.

Let me explain. The new tax law had two zingers for many plutocrats — mortgage interest payment deductions were capped on loans of $750,000 AND real estate, state and local taxes were limited to a total of $10,000 if itemized. This latter construction meant that high-income people in high-tax states like New York, New Jersey, California, Connecticut, etc. really were punished in the itemized deductions column ... which generally meant that they ended up in that 34% of individuals who payed higher taxes.

Yes, the super-wealthy who could hire tax attorneys may have stopped some of this bleeding but, in general, it was the blue-state six-figure-income earners with big mortgages who payed more, and in many cases, much more income taxes last year.

QED.

Collusion Collision

When last dem Dems were not elected,

The Russian bear was perhaps suspected.

But since this excuse fell into tatters,

They resorted to what truly matters:

Pug ugly rhetoric, oft spittle-speckled.
