Significance of Tax Bill's Passage

Michael Needham, C.E.O. of the Heritage Action for America organization, said it best when speaking about the impact and significance of the tax bill just passed in Congress this week:

The 2016 election provided a once in a generation opportunity for tax reform. And thanks to your efforts, the Republican-controlled Congress has delivered a huge accomplishment for the conservative movement and America as a whole.

Thirteen months ago, the American people spoke with a firm and resounding message -- they demanded sweeping tax reform and lower taxes for everyone!

And this time -- Congress listened. Republicans in Congress passed a bill that will help middle class families keep more dollars in their pockets, small business will get the chance to grow and thrive, and large business are now able to bring jobs back to America and increase the wages of workers.

In the new year, Americans will see more money in their paychecks, and the nation will experience even more economic growth.

This is an incredible first step and a huge victory! Of course, President Trump must still add his signature to the final bill to turn it into law; but after that, we will need to continue pushing Congress to make additional tax reforms and make sweeping reforms to health care, spending, immigration, education and many more issues.

There is a lot of work to do, but today’s victory -- decades in the making -- would not have been possible without the echoing boom of conservative Americans. Thank you for all you do and will continue to do.

Thanks,

Michael A. Needham

Brittany Hughes of MRCTV makes some great points in this video about the difference in views regarding the tax cuts coming as a result of this bill's passage. Ami Horowitz also interviewed several people in the East Village of New York about the tax plan, and this is what he found.

Update!!! Candice Owens also has a great video I just learned about explaining the tax cuts. Don't miss it!

The Three Contractors

Three Contractors bid on repair to the White House fence.

 

One is from Chicago, another is from Kentucky, and the third is from New Orleans.

 

All three go with a White House official to examine the fence.

The New Orleans contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil.

 

"Well," he says, "I figure the job will run about $9,000. That's $4,000 for materials, $4,000 for my crew and $1,000 profit for me."

 

The Kentucky contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $7,000.

 

That's $3,000 for materials, $3,000 for my crew and $1,000 profit for me."

 

The Chicago contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$27,000."

 

The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys. How did you come up with such a high figure?

 

"The Chicago contractor whispers back, "$10,000 for me, $10,000 for you, and we hire the guy from Kentucky to fix the fence."

 

"Done!" replies the government official.

 

And that, my friends, is how  Obama's and the Democrat's Stimulus plan worked back in 2009!

What's Really Going On In Europe Today?

Very few are telling the American public what's actually happening in the U.K., France, Sweden and Germany, but Katie Hopkins - a DailyMail.com journalist - who's seen it happening first hand in England, tells us what it's like currently and admonishes us to not let it happen here.

Watch and be entertained, while at the same time extremely concerned.

Perspective From The Past

With all the buzz today in the media about Trump it's critical that we take a step back and look at the man through the lens of time.

In 1980 Trump was interviewed by Ronna Barrett, but this piece was never aired.

In 1985 60 Minutes did this piece on Trump as the up and coming real estate developer in N.Y.

Both reveal a Trump that most alive today do not know. Most likely they wouldn't believe was true, either. However, the track record of this man reveals some very interesting points which the media extension of the DNC today certainly do not want the public to be aware of.

Social Security Insecurity

Our federal government has, roughly over the last 100 years, passed and implemented several programs which has sent this nation on a course fiscal suicide - you know, inability to pay what it's promised. While the nation debt is one of them, there is another program that's younger and more rapidly headed for trouble.

Sadly, the Social Security program has experienced a huge shift over its existence. What do you think that shift is? And, more importantly, why do you think this program has made such a massive shift over its life? Watch this latest Prager U video on the topic and see if you can spot what that shift is. The reason behind why the shift has been so massive resides within the last few presidential administration's policies; or rather lack of enforcing a Constitutional one.

Lord Acton Was Right!

Lord Acton is famous for his statement, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Depending on your source of the day's news you may be aware of what's been developing in the "swamp" regarding the whole recent presidential campaign and first year of Pres. Trump's administration and the investigation into the supposed Trump/Russian Collusion. After an entire year of investigation nothing - not one bit of irrefutable evidence - has surfaced to give the collusion narrative an ounce of credibility. Anyone who claims that Mannifort's or Flynn's indictments were proof of it are sadly uninformed as to the facts regarding the reasons for why they've made the news.

Now that it's obvious that there is nothing to be brought against Pres. Trump, the liberal leftists in the mainstream media have switched their focus to claims of either obstruction of justice or the president's sanity. With the new revelations from a pair of reporters - John Solomon of The Hill and Sarah Carter of Circa News - exposing the incredibly one sided (anti-Trump bias) circumstances of the Muller investigation team members being Clinton donors and advocates, Rosentein, Strzok, Weissman, Bruce Orr, Jeannie Rhee, the Podesta brothers, et al, (a very coordinated group of DNC operatives and lawyers who previously worked for the Clinton Foundation and Obama's national security aide Ben Rhodes) it's becoming apparent that the Obama Administration used its remaining days to set up a stable of bureaucrats prepared to do their best to sabotage the Trump Campaign and, after their shock at losing the election, went into a "Resist" mode to attempt a "silent coup" to get Trump ousted from the Oval Office with the collusion of the mainstream media at ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC.

As facts come forth on a daily basis exposing the blatant "fix" by former FBI Director James Comey to exonerate S.O.S. Hillary Clinton during the summer of the presidential campaign even before he had her interviewed in the investigation, and who it was that actually edited the words "gross negligence" to "extremely careless", it's becoming obvious to House investigative committee members that the rule of law has been ignored and a Constitutional crisis is being discovered. The pantheon of federal agencies from the Obama Administration have a multitude of remaining Obama/Clinton devotees (Why Trump didn't purge them from D.C. I'll never understand.) who are being exposed as having arranged for letting Hillary Clinton off the hook by not being sworn in during her interview with the F.B.I., but no audio or video record was made of that interview for future reference regarding her email server scandal. Yet, Gen. Flynn's interview by Muller's investigators were careful to record his testimony on his work as a liaison with a Russian diplomat, then use it against him later to implicate him on lying to the F.B.I. for an indictment. Clearly a politically expedient double-standard!

Bureaucrats in some agencies are deliberately ignoring requests from Congressional committees to produce documents for investigations, or to provide their Trump appointed director of a particular agency to provide information to them for the purpose of acquiring sufficient information in order to do their job as director; simply because they're so convinced that Hillary should have won they won't believe or accept Trump as President.

In my view, this is clear evidence that the former president implemented measures within his second presidential term to move our governmental organization as far away from its adherence to the rule of law and remove justice's blindfold so that his personal philosophy of social justice and identity politics could advance further under a Pres. Clinton administration. Whether our system of checks and balances, laws and powers within the wide array of administrative departments can weather this political crisis will be the biggest test our nation's form of governance has ever encountered.

Is Fascism Right or Left?

A favorite leftist smear—employed for decades now—is the claim that everyone on the right is a “fascist.” So the question must be asked: What is fascism? Where does the term come from? What is its underlying ideology? In this week’s video, Dinesh D’Souza, best-selling author of The Big Lie, introduces us to Giovanni Gentile, the philosopher of fascism, whose writings make clear that fascism is a movement not of the political right, but of the left—which seeks to foist it off onto the right in an attempt to distance itself from its ugly history.
