I Thought Democrats Wanted the Rich to Pay More Taxes?

Back on July 18th, I reported on a lawsuit brought by blue states over the change in the SALT deduction. Prior to tax reform people living in highly taxed states could deduct State and local taxes (SALT) from their federal return. Blue state spending goes unpunished. Liberal governors have no reason to be frugal as long as their local taxpayers can get their taxable income reduced at the expense of other states.

Republican Tax reform capped the SALT deduction at 10,000.00 dollars. And now Democrats are mad because Trump won’t let them live large on your dime. But there’s another aspect to this liberal fraud I left unexplored.

Who Will Be The Next Mollie Tibbetts?

I posted what I like to call “bait” on the Grok Facebook page. It was two meme’s someone made making a point or two about the tragic murder of Iowa girl-next-door Mollie Tibbetts at the hands of an illegal alien. The tender-footed progressive-leaning morally-mother superiors can never contain themselves.

The gist of at least one objection is that GraniteGrok is standing on the shoulders of a dead girl.

I don’t think so. We’re standing quite squarely on the failed priorities of Democrats.

Democrats Couldn’t ‘Find’ Enough Votes – Troy Balderson Wins US House Seat.

That special election in Ohio that was going to be the next “final nail in the coffin of the Trump ascendency” or whatever his downfall is being labeled as this week, didn’t happen. But it started out grand. The media was very excited about how close it was. Al Franken-esque “look what I found mom” ballot discoveries were going to shift the tide. And those absentee ballots…Democrat victory was nigh.

Not so much.

“North Country Democrats” Choose Politics Over People on Woodburn Assault

We’ve talked about Jeff Woodburn’s domestic assault charges. We have covered the differing responses from the Democrat Party and the faithful. The Public responses.

Behind the scenes, at least up in the North County, the victim is not viewed kindly. Politics, it appears, comes before people and these individuals are not waiting to blame the victim of Jeff Woodburn’s alleged assault if Democrats lose a State Senate Seat.

Op-Ed: Civil War

Sent in by a loyal reader, emphasis mine.

A few days ago Jack Minzey, head of the Department of Education at Eastern Michigan University as well as a prolific author of numerous books, most of which were on the topic of Education and the Government role therein, sent out the final chapter that was the last of his works. Jack passed away last 8 April 2018.

How do civil wars happen?

Two or more sides disagree on who runs the country. And they can’t settle the question through elections because they don’t even agree that elections are how you decide who’s in charge. That’s the basic issue here. Who decides who runs the country? When you hate each other but accept the election results, you have a country. When you stop accepting
election results, you have a countdown to a civil war.

Democrats More Positive About Socialism Than Capitalism

Capitalism vs Gallup PollAs some Democrats look for ways to run away from the reality of their political baggage Gallup comes along and shoots them in the kneecaps.

For the first time in Gallup’s measurement over the past decade, Democrats have a more positive image of socialism than they do of capitalism.

The problem? The indoctrination is working. But the professional left isn’t ready to come out of the closet quite yet.

Democrats Don’t Give a Crap About “The Poor” – Part ….(It’s a Really Big Number)

Kuster and pelosiWhen Ann Kuster (and the rest of New Hampshire’s All Gurl Congressional Delegation) voted against tax reform on purely ideological grounds (based on fake news and flawed data), they voted to continue a punishing regressive tax on low-income families.

Republicans included in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act a provision reducing the Obamacare penalty for not purchasing “qualifying” health insurance to $0, beginning in January 2019. This move was particularly important for working-class families because IRS tax data show of the 6.6 million filers required to pay the Obamacare penalty in 2015, the most recent year for which data are available, 36 percent had an adjusted gross income of $10,000 to $25,000.

Blogline of the Day – so true, so true

The difference between Russians and Democrats is that Russians rejected socialism.

As seen at the latest Donald Trump rally:
Rather Be Russian than Democrats

Per usual, Democrats / Liberals / Progressives / Socialists show why comedy is dying –

Could This Be The Perfect Gift for the Hypocritical Left-Wing Democrat in Your Life?

Democrats #MeToo Wife Beater 2Democrats sell stuff online and take the money. That exercise in capitalism is hypocritical enough given the direction the party has gone these last few years. And we think it damages what little credibility they have left. (Get it! Left?) So, we’re here to help.

If you’re going to engage in free market profiteering at least have the sense to sell things with a patina of honesty to them. Like this custom cotton “wife-beater” t-shirt.

Mueller Still has Nothing And Mueller is the Proof of That.

Robert Mueller’s mandate as special prosecutor is to investigate and prosecute legitimate cases of “collusion” between ‘Russians’ and the Trump Campaign. He has been at it for a few years now and despite the occasional media-friendly announcements of charges or indictments ‘Mueller’ still has nothing.

How do we know this?

Notable Quote – Tom Palmer

“As you go through life, chances are almost 100 percent that you act like a libertarian. You might ask what it means to “act like a libertarian.” It’s not that complicated. You don’t hit other people when their behavior displeases you. You don’t take their stuff. You don’t lie to them to trick them into letting you take their stuff, or defraud them, or knowingly give them directions that cause them to drive off of a bridge. You’re just not that kind of a person.

One More Reason Why Ann Kuster Has To Go

Democrats squeal like greased pigs about money in politics, but this chart makes them smile.

Democrat congressional incumbent Ann(ie) Kuster has nearly three million cash on hand. And she’ll have more.

Her competitors have nothing by comparison. And no, this is not a new development. Democrat Incumbent Kuster has always had exponentially more cash to spend on elections than her competitors.

It’s not indicative of anything other than that she is there and entrenched in the swamp, doing swampy things that make lobbyist cronies smile.

Facebook Doodlings…Reading it Off the MSNBC TelePrompTer To Prove My Point

A good friend of the Grok recently shared my post on how Tax reform is not just about money; it is about trust. He posted it as a status update on the Closed Group ‘Brookline NH Elections’ on Facebook. He got this response.

Keith F. Thompson: “The tax cut for ordinary Americans is temporary, while the tax cuts for corporations and the very wealthy are permanent. “Average” Americans have already seen their tax cuts disappear like vapor. Inflation, cuts in services, a MASSIVE increase in the deficit, and now, chaos from this maniacal trade war. My tax cut was smaller, and didn’t survive the rise in gas prices.”

Here’s what I offered in response.

Liberals believe in sex over God

Or is it that their god IS sex? No, that isn’t quite right. It’s just that they believe they ARE their own god(s).

Tax Reform Is Not Just About Money. It’s About Trust. And Democrats Don’t Trust You.

Heritage Tax Reform NHThe Heritage Foundation has published a nationwide calculator that reports the tax savings for the average taxpayer in every congressional district in the country. Being an average taxpayer, I took an interest. And not just to know how much lower will my tax bill be thanks to Mr. Trump and Republicans but what does that mean in actual dollars?

How much of my money were Democrats fighting to keep in DC, and how much are they going to take back the first chance they get?

While NH Democrats Fight for 15 D.C. Dems Vote To Dump It for Tipped Workers

waitressNew Hampshire Gubernatorial candidates Steve Marchand and Molly Kelly are both dedicated Democrats with designs on using government to limit your potential for prosperity. They both support a New Hampshire minimum wage of $15.00/hour; which we know will result in job losses and less monthly income for the very people they claim to want to help.

Nothing new about that. But this is new.

The Marchand & Molly Show Got Nothing to Say About Record NH Employment

Marchand and MollyLast month we reported on New Hampshire breaking new ground on both employment and labor participation in May. June was even better.

Seasonally adjusted estimates for June 2018 placed the number of employed residents at 735,730, an increase of 2,540 from the previous month and an increase of 9,020 from June 2017.

I can’t seem to find any comment from Democrat Gubernatorial candidates Steve Marchand or Molly Kelly about this continued climb into record employment and robust labor force participation absent their apothecary’s inventory of socialist curatives.

Data Point – the most dangerous cities in the US are Democrat run

According to the Major Cities Chiefs Association Violent Crimes Survey, 6,791 people were murdered in America’s urban areas in 2017. While that was down 252 deaths from 2016, that’s still an ugly number. And when we break down the top 20 cities at the top of the list, a few illuminating (although not-so-surprising) facts emerge: 90% of the … Read more
