Democrats Propose Additional Tax For The “Use Of Ammunition”

link   to  >> VIDEO

Democrats in Washington State are proposing an additional tax for “the privilege of using ammunition” in a bid to decrease gun violence. House Bill 2238, introduced by fifteen state Democrats, was referred to the state’s legislature committee on finance. If passed, the bill would impose a sales tax on ammunition to fund suicide prevention & firearm-related domestic violence programs. "A use tax is levied on every person in this state for the privilege of using ammunition as a consumer at the rate of percent of the selling price," House Bill 2238 read. The bill describes ammunition as “Projectiles with their fuses, propelling charges, or primers designed to be fired from firearms." This new proposed tax would be in addition to the federal, state and local sales and use tax on goods and services. However, it would not apply to sales to state, local, or tribal governments to supply law enforcement agencies. "Washington HN 2238 is a poorly conceived and sloppily drafted piece of work. It’s also politically tone-deaf, as Washington residents from all points on the political spectrum and all corners of the state are rejecting state tax hikes," State Rep. Jim Walsh of the Washington State Republican Party told Fox News Digital. The proposed bill also states that one person is killed by a firearm every 14 hours, and nearly half of all suicides are from firearms.

If $174.000 a month isn't enough, then how do so many congress members become MILLIONAIRES.?? Give them a "cost of living" raise like those of us on Social Security get! A %age

A $174,000 salary isn't enough for members of Congress. In fact, they should probably give themselves a $100,000 raise.

Hold On, He’s Coming, President Trump Makes Court Announcement 

by Vince Quill16 hours ago16 hours ago

If they are going to run kangaroo courts, run by kangaroo people, then President Trump should act accordingly.

This is just my opinion, but I believe that E. Jean Carroll is a liar. No rape victim parades around in the way she does. Rape is traumatic and a capital crime, it is not cause for celebration and CNN appearances.

I don’t think I have ever seen a happier ‘victim’ of sexual assault than E. Jean Carroll in my life. This is why I believe she is making up these claims.

Much speculation has been making its way around the web as to whether or not President Trump would attend the start of the New York defamation case.

Despite prosecutors not allowing him to lodge a defense against Carroll’s claims, the 45th President told the media that he would be in attendance for the start of the case on Wednesday of next week.

When asked, the former President told the media: “Yeah, I’m gonna go to it and I’m gonna explain, I don’t know who the hell she is.” Take a look at what he had to say and more on the E. Jean Carroll case:

Reporter: "You have the Iowa caucuses Monday, an event in New Hampshire Tuesday, are you going to be back for the E. Jean Carroll case on Wednesday?"

The Epoch Times reported:

The trial is scheduled to start Jan. 16 and is focused on how much President Trump will have to pay Ms. Carroll for allegedly defaming her by saying she lied about him sexually assaulting her.

In 2019, Ms. Carroll brought a defamation case against President Trump.

Adam Klasfeld shared this letter from Carroll’s lawyers and reported: “E. Jean Carroll’s lawyers warn a judge that Trump wants to “sow chaos” and create a “circus” at his upcoming trial, citing his five-minute courtroom tirade yesterday as evidence. They question whether he can even testify.”

Texas Independence Plan Suffers Major Blow    Story by James Bickerton •7hrs ago Newsweek

The Texas Supreme Court has refused to take up a case filed against the state Republican Party after it rejected a petition calling for a vote on Texas independence to be included on its March primary ballot.

The case was brought by the Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM), a group campaigning for the state to leave the United States and become a fully independent country. On Wednesday, the TNM's petition, with 139,456 signatures, was denied outright, sparking an angry response from secessionist campaigners.

Texan nationalists have received a number of major boosts over the past few years, with the Texas GOP backing calls for a referendum on whether the state "should reassert its status as an independent nation" at its June 2022 convention.

Texas state Representative Bryan Slaton introduced legislation in March 2023 that would have triggered a referendum on "whether or not the State should investigate the possibility of Texas independence," though it failed to move past the committee stage.

Last month, TNM President Daniel Miller delivered a petition calling for a "TEXIT" referendum to the state GOP headquarters in Austin, well over the 97,709 signatures required to get a vote added to the primary ballot.

Texas Republican Party Chair Matt Rinaldi rejected the petition, claiming "the vast majority of petition signatures were invalid." He said some were missing essential information such as "residence address, county of registration, and date of birth/voter registration number." Other names were invalid, while only 8,300 of the signatures had been submitted by hand, rather than electronically, which Rinaldi claimed was a requirement. The Texas GOP also said the delivery of the petition was "untimely," with it being received on the deadline, as opposed to the day before.

Judge Bars President Trump  From Making A Defense At Trial   by Vince Quill 20 hours ago   

Every day I think that we couldn’t possibly become more of a banana republic than we are right now, but apparently, it’s a long way down.I have long said that those who wish to prevent something from being said are the ones with something to hide—it is they who are wrong.

The entire point of a court of law is to get to the bottom of things and to ensure justice. If something is nonsense, it should still be allowed to be said in court.

The court can then show how ridiculous that hypothetical nonsense is through well-reasoned arguments, witnesses, and evidence. This is the point of courts.

Instead of sticking to this time-honored tradition, U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan has opted for the more ‘progressive’ route.

According to Judge Kaplan’s recent ruling, President Trump is not allowed to lodge a defense in his upcoming defamation case brought forward by E. Jean Carroll.

More specifically, he will not be able to argue against her claims of sexual abuse. How is this legal or just? Take a look at the reports below and let us know if you believe Carroll’s claims:

 Jan. 6 was not an insurrection, says Turley, warns Democrats of 'slippery slope' threatening democracy

Opinion by Fox News Staff • 9FOX News

January 6th was not an insurrection: Turley

JFox Newsn. 4th 2024 Fox News

Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley joins ‘The Brian Kilmeade Show’ to discuss the House’s planned Mayorkas impeachment and the ‘host of problems’ with state efforts to kick former President Donald Trump off the primary ballot.

Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley joined "The Brian Kilmeade Show" to explain why Jan. 6 was a riot, not a rebellion or insurrection. The constitutional scholar said not only has former President Trump not been charged with incitement or rebellion in the three years since, but that the American people do not view it that way, either. The constitutional law professor said the efforts to disqualify Trump on that basis threaten democracy.

JONATHAN TURLEY: The biggest problem for me is that the 14th Amendment, Section Three, deals with rebellion and/or insurrection. This was neither. This was a riot and at some point, mature minds have got to kick in here and say, look, he has never even been charged with incitement, let alone rebellion and insurrection. But more importantly, putting aside the fact that he hasn't been convicted, this wasn't a rebellion or insurrection. I know that the other side has really tried hard to portray it that way, but the American people don't even view it that way. Polls indicate that the public views this as a protest that became a riot. It doesn't excuse what happened.

We've had violent protests in this country. There were violent protests when Trump was inaugurated. And at that time, there were Democratic members that voted not to certify Donald Trump. Were they also rebellious? What they're suggesting here is really otherworldly. If this is going to be the new theory, it'll be replicated, it'll metastasize throughout the country. I've got a column out in the New York Post talking about the new effort to bar Congressman [Scott] Perry under the same theory that Democratic members of Congress have asked to bar dozens of Republican members of Congress under the same theories. That's the slippery slope that we're about to step on. [...]

It's a tit-for-tat politics. And the terrible thing is that this is the most successful and stable democracy in the history of the world. And yet, after this long successful run, you have blind advocates today trying to introduce an instability in that system that could destroy it. This is the type of theory that can destroy a democracy. And, you know, there's a poll showing that the majority of people do not believe in this disqualification. Some 40% do, but it shows how dangerous this is. We are a divided country and you have people who are trying to win this election in the courts.

AND FINALLY !

A federal judge on Tuesday dismissed most of the civil counts against Trump and two others in connection with the death of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick during the U.S. Capitol riots on Jan. 6.

In a 12-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta dismissed three of the five civil counts in a lawsuit filed last January by Sandra Garza, Sicknick's girlfriend.

Garza's lawsuit against Trump and Jan. 6 rioters Julian Khater and George Tanios sought damages from all three men for claims of wrongful death, conspiracy to violate civil rights, and negligence per se based on D.C.'s anti-riot law.

In his ruling Tuesday, Mehta dismissed the wrongful death act count and both negligence per se allegations.

MAGA Prisoner Is Now Running For Congress

Preidential Daily

In West Virginia, Derrick Evans once held a position of power as a lawmaker. However, his journey took an unexpected turn when he found himself serving time in prison. His crime? Being present at the Capitol on January 6 a day that will forever be etched in American history.

Evans served three months behind bars after pleading guilty to one count of civil disorder. But despite this setback, his political aspirations are far from over. Evans has set his sights on a House seat in 2024, determined to continue fighting for what he believes in.

When asked about his experience on January 6, Evans describes it as the most patriotic day of his life. He points out that the reaction to that fateful day often overlooks the fact that “Democrats bombed the Capitol in the 80s.” According to Evans, what occurred on January 6 was not solely a violent uprising but also a gathering of patriots from all walks of life.

“There were women and children, veterans in wheelchairs,” Evans recalls. He emphasizes that the protest was largely peaceful and non-destructive. He spent less than 10 minutes inside the public rotunda area, urging others to maintain peace and respect.

Evans vividly remembers the moment he walked through the east rotunda doors, thanking a police officer along the way. This interaction was caught on video, which Evans believes is crucial for people to see. He wants individuals to witness the events firsthand and form their opinions rather than relying solely on media narratives.

After January 6, Evans faced severe consequences. Social media platforms de-platformed him, stripping away his online presence and connection with his 70,000 followers. Evans had live-streamed the entire event, not expecting any legal repercussions. However, he was arrested two days later, blindsided by the severity of the charges against him.

Reflecting on his experience, Evans firmly believes that his true crime, in the eyes of the government, was being an elected representative who dared to challenge the status quo. He saw himself as a voice of opposition against the growing tyranny in modern-day society.

Despite his obstacles, Derrick Evans remains determined to make a difference. He views his time in prison as a testament to his unwavering commitment to his principles. As he looks ahead to the 2024 elections, Evans hopes to regain the trust and support of the people, proving that his conviction to fight for freedom and justice is unyielding.

While his journey from lawmaker to political prisoner may have been unexpected, Derrick Evans continues to be a beacon of hope for those who believe in his cause. With a renewed sense of purpose, he is ready to forge a path toward a brighter future, one where the voices of the people are heard and their rights protected.

DISASTER: Biden’s Border Crisis Causing Public Health Catastrophe

by Noah 1 day ago2 days ago WLT

As if one pandemic wasn’t enough.

Dr. Ashwin Vasan, health commissioner of New York City, is waiving the white flag. Biden’s non-existent border policies are producing contagious diseases not seen for decades.

A new disease in every bus of migrants.

The 2,500,000 recorded migrant encounters at the US-Mexico border in 2023 represents a new all-time high. These individuals come from 160 exotic countries, most with terrible healthcare standards.

Now, illegal immigrants are driving a resurgence of rare diseases once extinct in the US. A prime example is Polio: in 2022, a New York man was paralyzed by polio likely originating from another country… the last previous confirmed polio case in New York was in 1990.

Nationwide public health crisis as we head to the polls.

Tuberculosis (TB), an airborne bacterial infection, has now been confirmed in every neighborhood in New York City, with 88% of cases in people born outside the US. Florida has seen a 21% increase in TB since Biden was elected. Texas border counties have triple the national average rate for TB.

But the list doesn’t stop there:Chickenpox outbreaks have ripped through migrant shelters in multiple states.
Measles, declared eliminated in the U.S. back in 2000, has been brought back to the U.S.
Malaria was reported by a Maryland resident who contracted it from someone who got it outside the U.S. and brought it into our country.
Leprosy is now endemic in the southeastern United States. Leprosy previously affected mainly persons who had immigrated from leprosy-endemic areas.

And that’s just the beginning. Migrant-borne illnesses are transmissible and already spiking nationwide.

Biden’s number one import: disease.

WHAT ABOUT THE PIPE BOMBER?
One of the biggest remaining mysteries surrounding the riot is the identity of the person who placed two pipe bombs outside the offices of the Republican and Democratic national committees the day before the Capitol attack. Last year, authorities increased the reward to up to $500,000 for information leading to the person's arrest. It remains unclear whether there was a connection between the pipe bombs and the riot.

Can't find the pipe bomber....even though they have clear pictures from a few locations But, they also had very clear pictures of Ray Epps, directing / telling people where to go, telling them to enter the capitol. They didn't bring charges against him until the public called them out on it so loud, I guess they figured they had to investigate him in order to appear UNBIASED.

So they arrested Epps and.....Under federal sentencing guidelines, he'll face between zero and six months in prison. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for Dec. 19. As part of the plea deal, Epps acknowledged moving through downed police barriers on Jan. 6 and admitted to placing his hands on a sign that was later pushed into police officers by the mob.

What a Coincidence: Ray Epps’s Attorney Was an FBI Agent …
billingsreport.com

There's been no evidence to suggest the conspiracy theory claiming Epps was some sort of plant working for the government who was used as part of a plot to turn the Jan. 6 protests violent is accurate. The FBI in April responded to repeated "60 Minutes" inquiries on the issue with a statement, saying: "Ray Epps has never been an FBI source or an FBI employee."

Under federal sentencing guidelines, Ray Epps will face between zero and six months in prison after pleading guilty to one count of disorderly conduct.

He was seen on a livestream that day saying "I'm gonna put it out there, I'm probably gonna go to jail for this. Tomorrow, we need to go into the Capitol! Into the Capitol! Peacefully! Peacefully."

Epps will also have to pay $500 in restitution.

Black Americans, Asian Americans, Mexican Americans and White Americans: The Trump Cult Spell.

January 3, 2024 by Staff Filed under BM, News, Opinion, Politics, Weekly Columns

(ThyBlackMan.com) You like him or you don’t. You trust him or you don’t. You believe him or you don’t. You praise him or you don’t. Donald J. Trump. The biggest cult-leading con artist of our lifetime. But there is more to this than meets the eye, much more.

When people will neither look at the facts nor the evidence, there is a problem. When people seem to be so inundated with a political candidate that truth does not matter anymore, there is a bigger problem. When a candidate can deceive so many so easily so often, there is a huge problem. You can vote for who you want to, but none of these things are normal. Not at all. So in this article we’re going down the rabbit hole.

I am not a Democrat. Still, talking to Trump supporters reminds me of when I counseled and de-programmed ex-cult members who had been brainwashed by cults and their cult leaders. So while I understand politics, hidden agendas, capitalism and the corporate machine, there is something much darker here. Much darker than fear. Much darker than ignorance. Much darker than denial. The MAGA Trump followers have been brainwashed into a cult, and their actions seem as if those who are zombies under a spell or both. Mind control! Yes it exists.

Of course some people wanted to ride the Trump train, because like him, they are opportunists. Of course, some people believed Trump would do a good job. Of course, some people were taken in by what he said and his promises. But what is happening today is much deeper, much darker, and much deadlier than that. We are seeing the manifestation of dark powers and principalities and the puppets they control like Trump.

This Trump cult has a heavy base of racism, the same racism that founded America. Donald Trump represents the real America without the clan robe and hood and torch and rope. His words produce fear and anger. His speeches are full of hate and deception. His actions are full of lawlessness. Donald Trump is a “man of lawlessness”. And yet his diehard supporters cannot see any of this. They represent the real America, a country founded by criminal hypocrite colonizing invaders who fled Europe.

Any time millions of people can support a man with 91 felony charges in 4 separate courts, a man who was impeached, a man who lost a rape case, a man who calls veterans losers, a man who jokes about the handicapped, a man who admits on tape that he sexually molests women at will, a man who tries to overturn a legal election and ignore the Constitution of the United States, a man who insights violence and insurrection against the United States (thereby violating his oath of office), a man who pays off a porn star he used, a man who cheats on his wife, a man who lies more times than the average person can count, a man who used the United States government as his personal piggy bank, a man who kept and shared classified documents, a man who has no problem with Russia meddling in America’s elections, a man who praises and looks up to dictators in other countries, a man who threatens to use the Justice Department of the United States to retaliate against his enemies, a man who quotes Hitler and a man who can blind and deceive millions at will, those people are in a cult and under a spell. In such case, America is dealing with the nature of Satan himself. Or is America simply reaping what it has sown and its prize pupil has arisen?

Donald Trump is not a genius. An examination of his tactics, his failed businesses and marriages can prove that. But what most people need to see is that Donald Trump is getting instructions from something or somewhere. Dark instructions. Instructions from those who he obeys. Trump did not come up with all of this on his own. And those puppet masters who pull his strings are the ones you really need to worry about. They are much more powerful than him, much smarter than him and demand both loyalty and obedience without question. Donald Trump may be the face of the cult, but he is not the head of it. Not by any means. And all of this was planned out before he even got his instructions to run for President .

Unfortunately, that is all that I can say. You may not believe it, but it’s all true. You may not accept it. But so be it. Time will tell and you will see. So whether you are a Republican or Democrat, that doesn’t matter. Presidents are selected before they are ever elected. Your vote is simply to create the illusion of citizen empowerment. That is as far down the rabbit hole as I am going to take you. Open your eyes that you may see.

No state has the right to keep Trump off the ballot because of "INSURRECTION"!! Until he is charged with and found guilty of insurrection, then these states are ILLEGALLY depriving Trump of his RIGHT to run for President. And unless some have changed their minds, about 73.6 million citizens WANT Trump to run.....

And..I may be wrong but I think the job of the SCOTUS is to determine if the  states are violating the constitution by taking Trump off the ballot

'Enough': SCOTUS warned by conservative no free pass for Trump over new violence threat  Story by Tom Boggioni  • 1h

RAW STORY  

According to conservative columnist David French, the Supreme Court should give absolutely no consideration to how Donald Trump's supporters would react if he isbanned from running for office — and the court should stick to the letter of the law.

In his column for the New York Times, French claimed the time had finally come to say "enough" over worries the former president will incite more violence, while also maintaining that the 14th Amendment was correctly interpreted by the Colorado Supreme Court when they booted him off the ballot.

More to the point, he added the court's eventual ruling on the Civil War era amendment with regard to the former president is likely to divide the country, and that the justices shouldn't try and find a way around that. They need to step up like previous courts have done in critical cases ranging from Brown v. Board of Education to the recent Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling that threw a woman's right to making private health decisions into chaos.

"This is where we are, and have now been for years: The Trump movement commits threats, violence and lies. And then it tries to escape accountability for those acts through more threats, more violence and more lies," French wrote.

"At the heart of the 'but the consequences' argument against disqualification is a confession that if we hold Trump accountable for his fomenting violence on Jan. 6, he might foment additional violence now," he wrote before adding, "Enough. It’s time to apply the plain language of the Constitution to Trump’s actions and remove him from the ballot — without fear of the consequences. Republics are not maintained by cowardice."

As French explained, spending time debating the exact meaning of what constitutes an "insurrection" could go on forever, but there is no doubt, "It’s true that Trump wasn’t declaring a breakaway republic, but he was attempting to “seize and hold” far more than the Capitol. He was trying to illegally retain control of the executive branch of the government. His foot soldiers didn’t wear gray or deploy cannons, but they did storm the United States Capitol, something the Confederate Army could never accomplish."

"So no, it would not be a stretch for a conservative Supreme Court to apply Section 3 to Trump. Nor is it too much to ask the court to intervene in a presidential contest or to issue decisions that have a profound and destabilizing effect on American politics," he advised. "Fear of a negative public response cannot and must not cause the Supreme Court to turn its back on the plain text of the Constitution — especially when we are now facing the very crisis the amendment was intended to combat."

Warning that, "If the court rules against Trump, the nation will be told to brace for violence.
