@JasonCalvi@jmart In other words the public safety/law enforcement system isn’t working so now I want to take that money and put it into “community programs”
Socialists always have a good way to spin the words to make things sound better, but you have to take off the fluff and really listen.
Watch 12,650 votes FLIP from Trump to Biden during the FL 2020 Election in real time with the same exact 81% total vote count.
Biden gains the EXACT amount of votes that Trump has wiped. This should tell you everything you need to know.
How is it possible in Wisconsin to have 7+ MILLION registered voters, but only 4 MILLION legal aged adults allowed to legally even register to vote?
Almost double the amount of people registered than legal aged voters. This is called VOTER FRAUD.
Superman honoring America’s real heroes—absolutely love it. 🇺🇸 @deancain
Side note: Recently rewatched Lois & Clark with my 8year old (same age I was when I watched it 🤭). It is perfect for that age and is family‑friendly, all‑American TV. She loved it! 🦜✈️🦸🏻♂️
Today, we welcomed @deancain to the Pentagon.
Dean took time to honor our warfighters and veterans — recognizing their service, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to this nation.
So, I went and read this bill Juliana keeps talking about.
It’s AB 1209.
It’s authored by gubernatorial candidate @FrancescaHongWI and it’s absolutely bonkers.
Please get comfortable and stick around because there is a whole lot of craziness to unpack.
First, the bill raises taxes on filers in Wisconsin’s top income tax bracket by 15.69% these are people making over $323K.
So now we know how they’re defining “super rich” and “billionaire.” It’s people making $323K.
This alone would make WI the 9th highest income tax state but the bill doesn’t stop there.
AB 1209 creates a new bracket starting at $750K and sets the tax rate at 17.70%.
17.70!
Under Hong’s plan, WI will be #1 in America for income taxes.
So who will be paying this tax?
Billionaires?
Not really.
Wisconsin hardly has any.
The majority of payers will be mom and pop small businesses.
This is because the overwhelming majority of small businesses file not as corporations but as individuals, pass-throughs, S-corps, etc… and pay the individual tax rate.
Close to 80% of small businesses file this way and a substantial majority of people who will be hit by this 17.7% tax will be small businesses.
So this isn’t a “billionaires” tax at all.
This is a successful small business tax.
And this is all before we get into the strange way the bill plans to increase state school aids.
Under the bill, for purposes of calculating equalization aids and revenue limits, a middle class English speaking child will only count as 71% of a child as compared to a limited-English, low income pupil.
I thought all children were equal but I guess under Hong’s bill some are more equal than others.
I’d love to see the Legislative Fiscal Bureau run this district by district so we can see who wins and who loses under Hong’s weird plan of counting some children as lesser than other children.
Finally, I don’t see anything in the bill limiting property taxes. Presumably they would just keep going up despite increased state aids.
So, how would this net out?
If this bill passed, we could immediately expect:
- Most of WI’s wealthiest would leave.
- Thousands of small businesses would close their doors.
- Large corporations will transfer their executives elsewhere and some will abandon Wi. It will no longer be possible to recruit talent to WI. (This is happening with Starbucks and Amazon right now in Washington over a 9.9% tax. Guess what a 17.7% tax will do.)
- The Packers and Brewers will not be able to recruit talent. (I spent last week with some NFL players and they assured me that this is a big deal).
- Tax revenues will plummet. WI will face a budget deficit and effectively go into recession.
- Despite the new state aid increases, local governments appear to be able to raise property taxes more (and they’ll need to after commercial values plummet due to all the office buildings being abandoned).
If this isn’t bad enough, the Hongs and Julianas of Wisconsin have other bills including a local option super tax, which is a great way to chase entrepreneurs out of your city.
But the point is that this is unserious policy. To call it sophomoric is an insult to sophomores.
This is economic suicide that can only come from the fever dreams of fervent communists.
After reading it, I’m more motivated than ever to elect @TomTiffanyWI.

He accomplished two important things with this line of questioning: 1) He exposed abortion for what it really is, stripping away the euphemisms that hide its barbarity, and 2) he revealed that abortion's proponents are too embarrassed and uncomfortable to have the conversation without the euphemisms because it makes them look monstrous. In other words, they care more about how they're perceived than anything else, including the wellbeing of innocent, defenseless babies. So they are, in fact, monstrous — and terrible at hiding it.
Very well done.
Homeless people are using dogs to test drugs for them on Skid Row in Los Angeles, California.
Non-profit group Starts With One Today says dogs are being abused, thrown away, sold for drugs, neglected, and fed drugs to make sure there is no fentanyl.
Animal advocates are ripping Mayor Karen Bass and other elected officials for not taking enough action.
“We’re coming out here, risking our lives to help these dogs with no support from the government,” said volunteer Joey Tuccio.
You don’t have to like war.
But it’s your patriotic duty to support those people fighting for your freedom they go without hesitation.
Least you can do is be a good American and support these folks.
It’s country over politics.
The conduct they are claiming is detrimental is Christianity. They fired Jaden Ivey for being Christian.
Worth noting the Bulls didn’t fire Ronnie Brewer after he was arrested for DUI. Or Joakim Noah after he was arrested for possession of drugs. When Jameson Curry was arrested for public urination and then resisted arrest, the Bulls suspended him for one game, but also refused to fire him for his conduct.
Christianity is apparently where the Chicago Bulls draw the line.
So, in the NBA Steve Kerr can falsely accuse the government agents of murder from the podium with no fines, suspensions nothing.
But Jaden Ivey can't be pro Christian on the Chicago Bulls? Make it make sense.
I’m an immigrant from Portugal. Came to USA as a teenager to Palm Desert California, when I became a mom I decided to exercise my right to be an American
It’s wild to say that yes doesn’t matter how much I love Portugal, America is my allegiance.. I am an American first #TPUSAHalftimeShow
The three straight division titles:
2022: 8-9 (with Brady)
2023: 9-8 (carried by offense)
2024: 10-7 (literally had best offense and play caller in franchise history)
It has also been the worst division in the NFL for the past 5 years.
For those in the back
Let’s clear something up, because way too many people are confidently wrong.
A limited military strike is not a declaration of war.
Never has been. Never worked that way.
Screaming “Congress didn’t approve it!” just tells everyone you don’t understand how U.S. power is structured.
The Constitution already settled this.
Under Article II, the President is the Commander in Chief. That role exists so the Executive can act immediately when American interests or security are threatened - not after a weeks-long political circus.
Congress’s job is to authorize full-scale wars.
The President’s job is to neutralize threats.
That division wasn’t an accident. The founders knew that forcing emergency military decisions through hundreds of politicians would be suicidal.
This isn’t some new loophole or Trump-specific invention either.
Presidents from both parties have ordered strikes abroad for decades without formal war declarations - drones, missiles, airstrikes, special ops. It’s standard practice, backed by precedent and legal interpretation.
Even the Justice Department has consistently maintained that short, targeted actions in defense of national security do not meet the constitutional definition of “war.”
What we’re talking about here is precision action, not an invasion.
No occupation.
No open-ended conflict.
Just degrading hostile capabilities and sending a message.
If things spiral into a prolonged conflict, Congress can absolutely step in. That’s where their authority kicks in.
But at this stage?
The President is operating squarely within constitutional bounds.
So spare everyone the performative outrage about “no vote.”
The justification is national security.
And the law already gives the authority.
If that reality upsets you, that’s an education problem - not a constitutional one.
Maduro is about to reveal how he helped steal our election and flood our country with people sent into blue states for census manipulation.
They captured him alive for a reason.
If you think Maduro being captured by the US is simply about oil, congratulations, you are yet again being manipulated by the mainstream media, who have never told you the truth once in your life.
I urge my fellow Democrats, especially those in the House and Senate who still give a damn about national security, to wake up. Stop attacking Trump just because he’s Trump or a Republican. Capturing Maduro and hauling him here like a criminal is American strength. Scaring the hell out of dictators like Khamenei and warning there will be consequences for murdering protesters is a good thing. This isolationist brain rot is killing us.
Support assertive, pro-American 🇺🇸 foreign policy. I’m a Democrat, and I’m telling Democrats to stop whining, stop being reflexively weak, and start leading, or you’re going to be on the wrong side of history and lose a lot of people.
