Every accusation is a confession.

[Juanita Broaddrick @atensnut]

He does it again. Scott Jennings gets the last word on CNN. 😂👌🏻

JENNINGS: If Elon Musk had never gotten involved in politics, never supported Trump … he’d be getting a ticker tape parade right now.

HINOJOSA: Do you agree that one person should have control in f American policy?

JENNINGS: Call me when you’re mad about Alex Soros.

Ten reasons wealth taxes don’t work:

1.Europe already ran the experiment and quit. Twelve OECD countries had wealth taxes in 1990; only four do now. Those that still have wealth taxes don’t have CGT or IHT.

2.Norway proved how dangerous they are. A tiny rate hike was meant to raise ~$146m; instead $54bn of wealth fled and revenue fell by ~$448m net.  They hit the opposite of the target.

https://t.co/Ghgo6h9iLW will hit regular people. Governments typically bring in taxes on the “super rich”, then when it doesn’t work they lower the threshold.

4.Britain already wealth-taxes by stealth. Council tax, stamp duty, dividend tax, frozen thresholds, CGT, 40% IHT, luxury tax, private school tax - we have a diffuse wealth tax wearing a dozen costumes.

5.Wealth is a guess, not a fact. Income hit a bank account; wealth is an opinion about future value. You end up taxing and then litigating based on arguable estimates, every single year.

6.Most people can’t tell wealth from income. The politics sells because the public conflates “owns £10m of illiquid business” with “earns £10m” - they’re nothing alike.

https://t.co/DczbvSoKuF punishes illiquidity. Paper-rich, cash-poor founders must strip dividends from their own companies to pay - taxing ownership by gutting the thing that makes jobs.

8.The mobile escape; the rooted pay. Norway’s most-taxed man left for Switzerland in a weekend.  The regional business owner and the homeowner can’t so they get the bill.

https://t.co/6Vrty4i5F3 causes capital flight. More super-rich Norwegians left in 2022 than in the previous 13 years combined.  Capital is the most mobile thing there is.

https://t.co/5nMADSFvbh eats the seed corn. Wealth is just deferred investment the capital funding the next hire and the next business. It raises little, invites avoidance, and drains the capital base. 

BONUS: 90% of what we call wealth now is intangible - intellectual property, data, algorithms, startup venture valuations, brand equity etc. The days of wealth being houses, factories and materials that can be seized are long gone. If you make your country anti-wealth you are basically making it anti-competitive in the modern economy.

Socialists love to redefine not helping someone as harming them.

If you don't give them your money, you "stole" from them.

If you don't provide aid, you "killed" them.

If you don't sacrifice for their cause, you're responsible for every bad outcome that follows.

The premise is that other people's lives, labor, and resources already belong to those who need them.

One group is expected to produce.

The other is entitled to receive.

The productive are judged by what they contribute.

The dependent by what they need.

Once you accept that premise, refusing a demand becomes aggression and self-interest becomes cruelty.

It's the creed of the parasite.

@EylonALevy @jez247 It is a statutory requirement that the Judge sentence as an aggravating factor when a ‘terrorist connection’ is found. Terrorism is defined as an act of violence based on a political motivation to influence the government.

When I was young, they were bursting into people's houses to shoot them in front of their screaming children.
Now they are insufferable Marxist schoolteachers who cannot define what a woman is.

[Jonathan Eric Lewis @LewisJonathanE]

One of the founding myths of 'Paddystinianism' - the antizionist hate movement in Ireland - is that the world admires them and will surely follow their lead

That's what they thought would happen when they threw a giant temper tantrum over the prospect of having the Irish team face Israel in soccer

What actually happened was that the game got moved to a neutral venue behind closed doors, so as to protect the Israeli players from unhinged 'Paddystinian' agitators

The world doesn't look upon the 'Paddystinian' hate campaign as something to be admired, but as a cult that would gladly burn down civilization, if it would mean Israeli Jews were hurt in the process

Fortunately, there is a growing number of people in Ireland who are willing to challenge the 'Paddystinian' cult and say: NOT IN MY NAME

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

Horrific. A 30-year-old man has been arrested after attempting to stab a 17-year-old girl in neck in Burnley. Completely unprovoked.

Are we really going to accept that this is the new weekly norm in Britain?

This is not what a civilised, first world country looks like at all.

[ZZ Flop ✡️🇮🇪 @ZzVvbbbbn]

The two people @VMSportIE decided to interview about the Ireland v. Israel match. Remember; there's no problem with antisemitism in Ireland.

[Cav Senpai @cavannastan]

Again for those in the back, Elon once offered to cut a check for $6 BILLION to the WFB to "eliminate World hunger" as they said the money could. His one condition was that the accounting was public.

They did not accept.

@BarryAndrewsMEP @EP_President @kajakallas @fiannafailparty @Renew_Press What does Michael D have to say about this?

He'll set us right on Iran no doubt.

▶️ We urge EU leaders to help stop the execution of political prisoner Zahra Tabari in #Iran.

She faces death, after a 10 minute trial, just for holding up a banner “Woman, Resistance, Freedom.”

[Cllr. Jim O'Leary @jimdundrum]

On seeing this photo every right minded Irish person should have questioned their understanding of the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. Instead our politicians, media and academics became fully fledged Hamas, Hezbollah and Iranian regime apologists.
