A middle school in the Orlando area was placed on lockdown after a student was seen carrying a clarinet by an automated weapons detection system, which decided the child’s clarinet was actually a gun. My thoughts here are that your automated weapons detection system sucks. That isn’t how the principal of the school saw it, however.
A student was walking in the hallway, holding a musical instrument as if it were a weapon, which triggered the Code Red to activate. While there was no threat to campus, I’d like to ask you to speak with your student about the dangers of pretending to have a weapon on a school campus.
What danger was there, actually? None. No one was hurt. No one could be hurt. The real danger was that your system doesn’t work correctly, and it caused unnecessary panic. Not only that, but just like The Boy Who Cried Wolf, it creates alarm fatigue in that people will be less likely to believe future calls for lockdowns when they remember all of the times that they were forced to hide because of stupid nonsense like this.
I spent most of the morning, trolling the left over Rob Reiner’s death. That fucking leftist retard spend weeks after Charlie Kirk was murdered, taunting us. Fuck him and fuck them.
No. Now what? The left claims that it is impossible to deport 10 million illegal immigrants. Now imagine 750,000 cops trying to take 700 million guns from 100 million armed, pissed off Americans who shoot things for fun on the weekend.
I fully support the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which would require states with a history of voter discrimination receive clearance from the Department of Justice before enacting any law that effect voting rights.
This sentence is filled with grammatical and spelling errors. How about this one:
The amount of people killed in the US every year due to gun violence is devastating and preventable. School shootings have become so common that they only make headlines for a couple days before we move on. In many cities around the country, including Detroit and Lansing shootings are so commonplace they barely even make the news. Parents are scared to send their children to school. Students are scared to go to school and often traumatized by active shooter drills (or active shooters). The NRA is one of the most powerful lobbyist groups in the country which combined with America’s obsession with guns is quite literally killing our kids. Considering that in 1791, when the Second Amendment was ratified, muskets only shot one round at a time, I do not think this was the intention of our forefathers. It is time to stand up to the NRA and address gun violence to keep people, especially children safe.
Says the guy who campaigned on the Internet when our forefathers clearly intended us to create our materials with printing presses before standing on the corner to hand them out while shouting your message to passers by. Also, it isn’t the amount of people killed, it’s the NUMBER of people killed, you illiterate moron.
You get the picture- the left continues to slam the right as being uneducated and stupid, yet their own efforts display a lack of literacy, historical knowledge, and thought. The only thing they think about is “how can I promise people more funds from those evil rich people in order to get elected?”
I swear to you, I feel like we are living in the middle of an Ayn Rand novel. Listen to James Talarico, a Democrat state representative from Texas:
So the part of Henry Reardon will be played by Elon Musk. Somehow, the left thinks that people over a certain wealth level are somehow stealing from the poor. So they are going to reward his success by stealing the money that he has earned.
They are complaining about him becoming a trillionaire. Think about what he has done to hit that amount. My house is powered by his products in the form of Tesla Powerwalls. Millions in rural areas now have Internet service who otherwise wouldn’t because of SpaceX. He was the founder of PayPal. The left is incensed that his new pay package from Tesla will be $1 trillion, but the devil is in the details.
The $1 trillion payday will be spread over a decade. They aren’t talking about his income- they want to tax him to cap net worth. He isn’t receiving $1 trillion in cash- he will get that in stock in Tesla, and only if he hits certain targets to include Tesla becoming an $8.5 trillion company by delivering millions of EVs, robotaxis, and Optimus robots. So what happens when they tell him he can’t make that much money in the USA without it being confiscated? What would YOU do if you were worth $1 trillion, and the country wanted to confiscate it all?
That is the key question: what happens when they pass a law to cap income? Where will it be capped? I promise you that it won’t be a trillion. I have seen proposals that vary quite a bit. For example, Bernie Sanders says that a 100% tax should apply to income over $999 million. What happens when you make no money beyond a given point?
Some proposals go as low as an 85% tax at $500,000 or more. But exactly WHAT is income? Is the threshold for wages only, or all income (capital gains, dividends, business income, etc.)? Many high-income people get much of their money from capital/business income, so a 100% tax on wages alone wouldn’t affect them much.
There are numerous ways to circumvent such a scheme. I could pay myself $1 less than the limit, then pay my wife, and then each of my kids $1 less than the limit. Close that loophole, and I will simply stop working as soon as I hit that limit. So imagine what happens when people hit that cap:
The really rich will simply leave the country. Imagine if Japan or some other nation became the home to SpaceX, Microsoft, and Apple.
Those who are at the low end of liberal seizures of wealth will simply go Galt each year. Imagine your doctor, lawyer, or other professional when the simply stop working in September and take the rest of the year off. Oh, you are going to pass a law saying they have to work all year? Ok, they have accountants and a calculator- they will simply work three days a week, or perhaps three weeks per month.
Why would anyone continue to work or invest if they had to assume all risk, but could get no profit. Once you hit this limit, you would simply stop taking risks.
This is a stupid idea, but that’s how communism works.
The top 10% have $113 trillion net worth. Just a 1% tax on that net worth would make the deficit sustainable indefinitely or fund much of the progressive wish list. pic.twitter.com/1lWvSCT3Ok
To be in the top 10% of net worth in the US, a household needs about $1.5 million. Those people are your nurses, many business owners, electricians, plumbers, and other blue collar workers. Also includes doctors, lawyers, and many other professionals. If you buy a house at 30, have it paid off before retirement, and contribute money to your 401k, you will likely be in the top 10%.
This is the left setting the stage for the confiscation of everyone’s retirement funds. They are making you think that they are going after “the rich” when in reality they are targeting ordinary people and their retirement funds.
They are selling it as a tax on billionaires, but a 1% “wealth tax” on net worth means a tax on unrealized capital gains- they will take your house or your retirement fund.
We always hear about poverty, but just how does the government decide what poverty is? In the 1960’s, a formula was created to define poverty. It was assumed at the time that food comprised one-third of a family’s budget, so any family that earned less than three times the amount of money that it took to buy food for the household was assumed to be poor.
Every year, the government calculates what they think it should cost to feed a family, then multiplies that number by three to arrive at a figure for the poverty line. How do they calculate that? How do they know what it costs to feed a family? Easy. They look at what it cost a family in 1963 to sustain itself, then adjust that number for inflation. Nowadays, there are idiots claiming that this number isn’t accurate- and I will grant you it isn’t- but they are using that to claim the new poverty number is 16, that is, a family needs to make 16 times what it costs for food in order to not be poor: $140,000 per year for a family of four. If you are poor, you should get government assistance. By this math, 60% of our nation would be living in squalor.
That’s ridiculous.
Where is that number coming from? The leftists claim that this is because the cost of childcare, Internet, and cell phones. First off, if you can afford cell phones and Internet, you aren’t poor. There are people all over the world who manage to exist without those things. Social safety nets are there to make sure people don’t starve. They aren’t there to buy Pizza Hut, video games, and cell phone porn.
The left is invested in making this economy look bad. They want Americans unhappy with the economy. There is an election next year, and Americans vote with their wallets. The press needs to hammer this home every day: “The economy sucks, but Joe Biden’s 9% inflation was the best economy in the past 50 years. Vote for us.”
Instead, let’s use the World Bank’s definition: Making less than $3.00 per person, per day. Under that definition, a family of four would be living in poverty if they had a household income of less than $4,400 per year. I will even be generous- we live in the richest nation in the world, so make that $10 per person, per day. A family of four who makes less than $14,600 is below the poverty line.
Would it suck to make that little? Sure it would. Being poor sucks. However, $10 per person, per day would make you more wealthy than 61% of the planet. That’s why we can’t afford to keep importing more and more poor people- they aren’t enriching us, they are dragging us down into poverty with them.
This article says that when poor people see rich people, they are more likely to vote for wealth redistribution. This is the exact reason why we are not a democracy. Flip it- suppose that the 51% of people who are the richest vote to make the 49% of the poorest become slaves. How would this be morally any different than the poorest 51% voting to take the money of the richest 48% for themselves?
This picture has been making the rounds on liberal social media accounts:
So you need a background check and a waiting period to purchase healthcare with your own money? Is healthcare not permitted in certain cities? Do some cities require a permit to see a doctor?
Or are they saying that they support giving everyone all of the guns they desire, free of charge?
They call us the stupid ones, but then post stupid, easily refuted drivel like this…
