Just the facts.

Sen. John Kennedy and RFKJR Obliterates Democrats’ HHS Narrative

Below are some statements of JFK JR and Senator Kennedy.JFK JR being questioned about cuts he had made to NIH and CDC.

The first line of questioning pointed out that HHS staff went from 82,000 to 62,000, the same level it was at before COVID in 2019.
Sen. Kennedy sarcastically asked, “Is this the first time that an institution in America has ever downsized?”. RFK responded no.

“Microsoft just announced that they were going to reduce their workforce. You think that’ll be the end of Microsoft?” No.

“Meta—I still call them Facebook—just announced they’re going to reduce their workforce. You think that’ll be the end of Meta?” No.

More examples are in the comments section.

Let’s see if California cities ignore Federal Warrants.

Home to criminals?

Let’s see if California cities ignore Federal Warrants.

This will be a test and if successful, I’m sure it will be used nationwide. California blue cities have a habit of ignoring requests for the jails to turnover criminals housed in lockups.So now the Feds are going to do this.

The Department of Justice on Monday announced a plan to crack down on California’s “sanctuary law” that prohibits law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration officials.

DOJ is going to “flood the system with warrants for criminal illegal immigration that are in county jails, they can ignore a detainer, but they cannot ignore a criminal arrest warrant.

Another correct ruling.

Supreme Court rules that Protective Status for criminals can be removed.

Joe Biden had issued an executive order that gave over 300,000 illegals protective status. President Trump cancelled that order. A judge put a stay on that order. Well the US Supreme Court with a 8-1 vote removed that temporary stay. The affirmative action judge was the one who voted to keep it.

Are you overtaxed living in California?

Bye Bye blue states.

Are you overtaxed living in California?

Whether or not someone feels “overtaxed” in California is subjective and depends on individual circumstances and perspectives
.
However, some data and observations about California’s tax system that could contribute to this feeling include:
High Income Tax Rates:

California has the highest marginal income tax rate in the nation, topping out at 13.3% on income over $1 million.
Even for lower earners, the progressive tax system means a portion of their income is subject to rates as high as 12.3%.
Some sources suggest that California’s income tax burden is higher than the average of both all other states and other western and industrial states.

Sales Tax:

California has a base sales tax rate of 7.25%, which is the highest in the country, and the combined state and local sales tax can reach as high as 11.25% in some cities.
The average combined state and local sales tax rate is 8.85%, which is the eighth highest in the nation.

Cost of Living:

California’s overall cost of living is significantly higher than the national average, especially regarding housing, which is more than twice as expensive.
This high cost of living, coupled with high taxes, could contribute to the feeling of being overtaxed, even for those who do not fall into the highest income brackets.

Public Opinion:

According to a Public Policy Institute of California survey, 71% of adults in California think the state and local tax burden per capita is high compared to other states, and 7 out of 10 residents feel they are paying more than they should in state and local taxes.

Counterarguments/Context:

While income taxes are high, California’s property tax rates are lower than the national average.
The progressive income tax system means that those with lower incomes pay a lower tax rate than they might in a flat tax state.
Some sources argue that California’s higher income tax burden is offset by a lower combined burden for other taxes.
The revenue generated through taxes funds various state services, including public welfare and education

Short and Sweet. Without the undocumented immigrants, the Democrats can’t win.

There’s a reason that Democrats (Progressives) want the illegals here. Elections. They can’t win without them. They have found that in cities and states where they’re allowed to vote in, they vote for the Democrats.

Nuff Said.

White folks aren’t the only brain dead people. Medicaid work requirements would ‘kick a lot of people off’ of health care coverage, Sen. Warnock.

White folks aren’t the only brain dead people. Medicaid work requirements would ‘kick a lot of people off’ of health care coverage, Sen. Warnock.

So according to the Senator, if you leave the government freebee list and go out and get a job to support yourself and family, that’s a bad thing? So how does that work?

Rep. Brett Guthrie, R-Ky., who is chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, wrote an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal in support of the work hurdles.

“When so many Americans who are truly in need rely on Medicaid for life-saving services, Washington can’t afford to undermine the program further by subsidizing capable adults who choose not to work,” Guthrie wrote in the op-ed published on Sunday.

“That’s why our bill would implement sensible work requirements,” Guthrie wrote.

Those requirements would be in line with current policies, according to Guthrie, where working adults, seniors on Medicare and veterans have all worked in exchange for health coverage eligibility.

Nashville mayor crying that undocumented voters being arrested.
In case you haven’t heard yet,the mayor of Nashville is all upset that over 100 illegals were arrested. Guess he’s worried about his next election. So what did he do?

Nashville’s Democrat Mayor Freddie O’Connell signed an executive order (EO) that would require the city’s police department to inform his “Office of New Americans” about any planned Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions in the city.

Just in case the mayor missed it, American citizens aren’t being arrested. ICE using traffic stops. The undocumented, Illegals are. Just after the traffic stops, O’Connell called ICE “terrorists” and claimed that illegal aliens are Nashville “citizens.”

No Virginia, you don’t bring folks into a country where they don’t.
Because of Biden’s mishandling of the cowardly retreat from Afghanistan, Moving thousands of Arabs to the US MADE NO SENSE.

You have numerous countries that were in the same region that were Arab nations. So because you messed up a plan that was in place you brought them here? Well that made no sense. Now President Trump needs to fix this mess.

In a press release dated May 12, Noem explained:

Afghanistan has had an improved security situation, and its stabilizing economy no longer prevent [sic] them from returning to their home country. Additionally, the termination furthers the national interest as DHS records indicate that there are recipients who have been under investigation for fraud and threatening our public safety and national security. Reviewing TPS designations is a key part of restoring integrity in our immigration system.
[Emphasis added]

There has been widespread fraud and abuse within the Afghan resettlement carried out by Biden, law enforcement agencies and inspectors general offices have repeatedly found.

Hey white Progressives, why do you hate Asians? Beside yourself.

Hey white Progressives, why do you hate Asians? Beside yourself.

Besides hating on themselves, the group that comes next are your Asians (Orientals). Why is that? Maybe because they go to school to learn instead of protest? Maybe because they don’t take out student loans and ask for government forgiveness? What other reasons?

According to The College Fix, “An Asian American coalition has filed a federal civil rights complaint against Yale University alleging discrimination using racial proxies during the 2023-2024 admission cycle.”

The complaint, filed on April 22 by the Asian American Coalition for Education to the Office for Civil Rights under the U.S. Department of Education, alleges that Yale discriminated against Asian American applicants in its admissions process.

“Compelling evidence indicated that Yale University may have unlawfully employed race proxies to circumvent the Supreme Court’s SFFA rulings,” AACE President Yukong Zhao told The College Fix in a recent email.

US tests hypersonic aircraft, advancing toward China in weapons race.

The U.S. Navy’s Strategic Systems Programs is continuing on the path toward the nation’s first sea-based hypersonic fielding with a successful end-to-end flight test of a conventional hypersonic missile from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida.

We know that Biden would never have went forward. We must have these missiles (once testing is over) on all subs and on our military bases. In the US AND OVERSEAS. Also now perfect the defense system against them. STARWAR, SDI.

The rapid development and demonstration of conventional sea-based hypersonic strike weapon systems supports the U.S.’s ability to deter, and if necessary, defeat potential strategic competitors. The range, accuracy, lethality, and survivability of hypersonics is a significant leap-ahead in U.S. conventional strike capabilities, complementing existing capabilities and enabling the U.S. to defeat adversary high-end capabilities.
