In retrospect, I managed to survive more than the first 60 years of my life without Facebook. To date, I’ve sent one text in my entire life. I don’t tweet, snapchat, or instagram, and I’ve yet to feel the need to take a picture of myself. My phone flips and I only carry it while I’m working. I’ve been spending a lot of time watching videos of old songs I remembered from my wasted youth on YouTube and commenting on sports blogs. I even learned how to fillet a catfish.
Trump plan promises huge tax cuts, but big questions remain
Trump declared repeatedly the plan would provide badly needed tax relief for the middle class. But there are too many gaps in the proposal to know how it actually would affect individual taxpayers and families, how it would be paid for and how much it might add to the soaring $20 trillion national debt.
WHY IS IT WHEN A REPUBLICAN PROPOSES CUTTING TAXES THE LEFT SCREAMS: “HOW ARE WE GOING TO PAY FOR IT??” YET, WHEN THEY SHOVE TAX INCREASES DOWN THE MIDDLE CLASS’S THROATS, THEY NEVER ASK HOW THE PEOPLE WILL PAY FOR IT?
[CtH: They also never factor in how much increased business and more jobs stimulated by the cuts will increase tax income.]
Trump tax plan eliminates big perk for high-tax states
President Trump will release a sweeping plan Wednesday to cut taxes and simplify the tax code that will eliminate the deduction for state and local taxes — a move that Gov. Andrew Cuomo has warned would be a “death blow” for New York.
[CtH: Cuomo and his Democrat cronies have been trying to kill New York for decades. And since when do Democrats care about rich people? Aren’t the rich not supposed to get deductions in their world, cuz it’s not FAIR … or something?]
Repealing it would increase federal revenue by $1.3 trillion over the decade, according to the Tax Policy Center. But it would also slam high-income New Yorkers. Manhattan leads the way nationally in taking the deduction, with residents writing off an average of $24,898 on their federal returns. Deductions would remain for mortgage interest and charitable contributions. Also, the standard deduction would nearly double to $12,000 for individuals and $24,000 for married couples.

Schumer: Trump’s Tax Plan ‘Socks it to the Middle Class’
[CtH: I don’t believe a word that comes out of this man’s mouth.]
Trump: ‘Democrats Don’t Want Massive Tax Cuts’
While some Democrats are already working with the president, a coalition of roughly 45 Democrats in the Senate, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, could give the administration trouble going forward. This group has promised to reject any bill that cuts taxes on the wealthy.
[CtH: So they’re against increasing taxes on wealthy New Yorkers AND decreasing taxes on wealthy Americans? Oooookay.]

Michelle Obama: Women Who Didn’t Vote for Hillary Clinton ‘Voted Against Their Own Voice’
She continued, “It doesn’t say as much about Hillary and everybody is trying to wonder, ‘Well what does it mean for Hillary?’ Well no, what does it mean for us, as women, that we look at those two candidates and many of us said, ‘That guy? He’s better for me. His voice is more true to me.’ Well, to me that just says you don’t like your voice. You like the thing we’re told to like—the voice we are told we are supposed to like. You bought into that.”
[Cth: Pardon my French, but … bullshit. You don’t know diddly DAMN about my “voice.”]
Chuck Todd: Roy Moore ‘Doesn’t Appear to Believe in the Constitution as It’s Written’
For any non-revisionist individual who’s read the Constitution or commentaries on it, they would know that Todd’s slam against Moore is pure and utter fake news. Why? It’s because the Constitution ensures that our God-given rights aren’t hinged upon by the government.
MSU Female Police Chief Defends Calling Kneeling NFL Players “Ingrates” and “Degenerates”
[CtH: You go, girl! How about THIS woman’s voice, Mooch? If you think a female POLICE CHIEF just thinks and votes the way some white man tells her to, then you’re as dumb as I’ve always suspected.]
Jane Fonda Snaps at Megyn Kelly for Asking Plastic Surgery Question
“You’ve been an example to everyone in how to age beautifully and with strength and unapologetically,” Kelly told Fonda.
She should have stopped there, but Kelly continued, “You admit you’ve had work done, which I think is to your credit, but you look amazing… I read that you said that you felt you’re not proud to admit that you’ve had work done. Why not?”
“We really want to talk about that now?” Fonda sniped, looking genuinely perplexed.
[CtH: Well, yes, actually. Especially, given that you’ve made a ton of money off your health & fitness products!]
Maxine Waters: Black women can get Trump out of office
“Black women, because we have evolved with strength and voting power and economic power, this is a special moment in the history of black women,” Waters told The Root.
[CtH: Maxine, Democrats do NOTHING for blacks. Every important initiative I’ve ever heard of was proposed by Republicans, opposed by Democrats, and voted in by a Republican majority.]
Dems cautious but hopeful in Ala. after Moore win
YEAH, GOOD LUCK WITH THAT
Democrats are cautiously hopeful that controversial former judge Roy Moore’s GOP primary victory in Alabama on Tuesday has created the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a competitive Senate race in the deep-red state.

THEY WANT TO BEAT JUDGE ROY WITH THIS CHUMP
Democratic Senate Candidate in Alabama Calls for No Restrictions on Abortion
Clemson Student Leaders Refuse To Stand For Pledge Of Allegiance
Anyone else remember the days when the left told us dissent was the highest form of patriotism?
Yes, Trump ran on specifics such as a border wall, the repealing of Obamacare, and tax cuts. Trump’s existential promise, though, the overall rationale for his insurgent campaign, was all about “draining the swamp,” or taking the fight to the DC establishment — not just within the corrupt national media and the cancerous Democrat Party, but also within the Republican Party, which, as we have seen over the last eight months, is no better than the others.
ANOTHER UBER-RINO THAT WILL NOT BE MISSED… EXCEPT BY THE DEMOCRATS
In 2015, then-Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) named Blackburn chairwoman of the special committee investigating whether Planned Parenthood was selling tissue from aborted fetuses. Blackburn “is well known in Tennessee. She’s been a strong conservative voice. And she’s a thoughtful person who’s always been supportive of the president,” said Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R-Tenn.). “I think she would be formidable.” Blackburn also has $3 million in her campaign coffers.
President Donald Trump faced criticism that he failed to act fast enough to ensure adequate aid reaches the island, and he is also being accused of insensitivity for stating that many of Puerto Rico’s problems, including its debt, predated the hurricane.
OWNERS KISSED UP TO THE PLAYERS UNION… NOW THEIR CHICKENS HAVE COME HOME TO ROOST… I HEARD THAT PHRASE SOMEWHERE BEFORE.
The data analytics group Optimus, which conducted a poll on Friday and Saturday, has Moore at 55.4 percent versus Strange at 44.6 percent. An Emerson College Polling Society survey found its results to be similar, with Moore at 50 percent versus Strange at 40 percent.
Judge Roy Moore delivered his closing message to voters in Alabama at a raucous barn rally packed with supporters.
My guess was that Moore will win tomorrow night by eight points despite the fact that he’s led by more in various polls of the Alabama runoff. If Trafalgar’s right, the actual margin will be double that. It’ll be a blowout and an embarrassing rebuke to Trump, who not only couldn’t get his guy over the finish line after a rally in Huntsville but couldn’t get him within 15 points of victory.
CNN – “As you know, Mitch is not, polling-wise, the most popular guy in this country,” Trump said. “They like to label (Strange) because he happened to be there for a number of months in the Senate, so they like to label him as Mitch’s best friend but he’s not. He hardly even knows him. He’ll be fighting Mitch.”
Senator Bob Corker (R-TN) is set to receive more than $3 million in direct payments from the City of Mobile from sales taxes paid at stores in McGowin Park by Alabama consumers as part of a controversial and unprecedented sweetheart deal that Senator Luther Strange (R-AL) did nothing to stop as Attorney General of Alabama when the deal was arranged in 2013 and 2014 by a law firm whose partners and political action committee contributed $28,000 to his Senate campaign in 2017.
“Going to the White House is considered a great honor for a championship team. Stephen Curry is hesitating, therefore invitation is withdrawn!” Mr. Trump tweeted Saturday morning.
James jumped to his Twitter account on Saturday morning to slam the president, saying, “U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain’t going! So therefore ain’t no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!”
“The musicians were brought out, tied up, hooded and apparently gagged, so they could not make a noise, not beg for mercy or even scream,” Hee Yeon explained. “They were lashed to the end of anti-aircraft guns.”
THEN IT’S NOT REPEALED AT ALL….WE’RE BEING SCREWED STILL, JUST DIFFERENT TERMINOLOGY. [CtH: Thank the NeverTrumping Republicans, particularly John “Songbird” McCain for this.]
KIDS WITH CANCER CAN’T STOP THE HATERS FROM HATING
The Hillinator is still being asked to comment on stuff and I have no idea why, but she thinks her opinion still matters to Americans. It’s sad really. Uhm… yeah I mean she might have a point but no one cares what Hillary says. And in fact, according to the lovely and brilliant Dana Perino, who is no fan of Trump, the speech was well received by the right and those in the center.
Both national security reporter Jim Sciutto — a former Obama appointee — and analyst John Kirby — a former State Department spokesman whose job it was to defend the Iran deal during the Obama years — attacked Trump’s speech.
A Jacksonian speech in Turtle Bay
President Trump gave his first official speech to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday morning, and was immediately berated by the New York Times (Trump’s “characteristically confrontational message”) and the Washington Post (“Trump’s menacing United Nations speech, annotated”). Sen. Dianne Feinstein lambasted him for words that “greatly escalated the danger” from Iran and North Korea. And the foreign minister of Venezuela’s socialist dictatorship, Jorge Arreaza — apparently trying to formulate some sort of supreme insult — compared Trump in 2017 to President Ronald Reagan in 1982. With that kind of reaction, you might just start to suspect that Trump did something right.
During Trump’s speech to the United Nations, he demanded that Iran free all Americans, as well as those from other countries, who the regime is holding captive on false charges.
OBAMA WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO HURT THE PEOPLE OF THE GULF STATES AFTER THE BP OIL SPILL… BIG DIFFERENCE
THERE IS NO WAY TO OVERSTATE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE RIGHT JUDGES TO OVERTURN LEFTIST ACTIVISM.
