Good Morning Morons. Today is Wednesday, April 13, 2016. On this day in 1919 Eugene V. Debs was imprisoned at the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary in Atlanta, Georgia, for speaking out against the draft during World War I. He was arrested and convicted under the Sedition Act of 1918 which was blatantly unconstitutional and was rammed through by Wilson. Although this was a travesty, Debbs got what he deserved because he was a rabid communist rabble rouser. His sentence was commuted by Harding in 1921. Republicans were bitterly opposed to the Sedition Act of 1918.

There have been many calls for Obama to unseal 28 pages of classified documents that some think show Saudi involvement at the highest levels in the 9-11 terrorist plot. And Obama has said he will "decide" on where he will comply within 60 days. But remember, he runs on CPT.

Radical militant atheists are at it again.
Over the past several months the Military Religious Freedom Foundation has waged a campaign to have Bibles removed from "Missing Man" displays located on federal property. They claim the inclusion of the Bible is a violation of federal law.
Instead of fighting back the government is folding like a cheap suit sold out of the trunk of a rusted out 81 Chevy in Brooklyn.

Iowa State Hispanics tell "white" students they should go to a doctor and have their white privilege checked. Again, when did Hispanic become a race? Ans: When it because a propaganda tool. Imagine the MFM blowback if a group of anglo whites started hitting Hispanics and blacks in the same manner. But it has been said many times, if they didn't have double standards they would have no standards at all.

After my tax lady and I got through the 1040 (I'm self employed) I have an effective 33% tax rate. Q: Why should I keep working? A: Because I love my oilfield, I get bored between projects and I don't know how long I will live. How do I know if I've sacked away enough money if I don't know how long I will live or when hyperinflation drains me?

Morning, 'rons and 'ronettes. I suppose I should say thanks for the news, Vic, but there's nothing to be thankful for, really.
Anyway - yesterday I happened to speak with someone who has tickets to the new musical Cagney, which reminded me vaguely of an old George M. Cohan story:
It seems that the playwright Robert Sherwood (Waterloo Bridge, The Petrified Forest, Abe Lincoln in Illinois) wanted Cohan to star in a new play. In order to get the great showman's services, though, Sherwood had to make a firm commitment with Cohan for ten weeks.
The play, however, was a complete flop and closed after one anemic week on the Main Stem. Cohan, however, took his check for the full ten weeks without a word. Years later, however, Sherwood, out of a clear blue sky, opened his mail to find a check from Cohan, covering the nine weeks he hadn't played. Attached to the check was a note: "Dear Bob: I couldn't go out with this on my mind".
The next day, November 5, 1942, George M. Cohan died.

When you say and "effective" tax rate of 33$ does that mean your net taxes is 33% of your gross income or net profit? If so that is extremely above normal and something is being done wrong on your taxes.

The $15 minimum wage increase in California is going to go bust according to one Economic Lawyer. It appears that the McDonalds burger flipper will never actually see any of that increase as most of it will go to the Fed and State in increased taxes and get this., it will wipe out their Earned Income Tax Credit too. Additionally it will put them above the poverty level and cut off their food stamps.
The bottom line is that every minimum wage person this affects will most likely be in worse shape than when this whole mess started. And the above does not include any job cuts or reductions by employers.
I am beginning to think this whole thing may be one big scam by Democrats to increase State and Federal tax revenue.

more taxes. I assure you there is zero probability that is going to
happen.

Keep in mind tat the $15/hr minimum wage was not meant to help the burger flippers. It is meant to get the unions an automatic pay raise.

Normally, the firewalls our government is supposed to have would protect us in the event a man like this gets elected. But, human nature plus unchecked leftist corruption.

So one of Mrs VIA's Cow-orkers has announced that her State medical insurance has been cancelled due to the fact that she is earning above the cutoff for assistance.
She said she needs to work fewer hours, so she can keep the free healthcare.
I suggested that she take a pay cut so that she can continue to stay off the streets for the full forty hours per week.

The minimum wage is a part of the fair wage and labor act. Originally restaurant workers were exempt but that is no longer true. The law regulates the buisness so the worker has no say on it.

You need to expand your imagination as to what a "business expense" is.
With the proper rationalization, everything turns into a legitimate, critical, cannot-operate-without business need.

In the past the biggest problem with the calls to get "big money out of politics" is that the ones doing the calling only want to get their opponents' money out.
The only way we will get big money out of politics is to reform the whole buisness as follows:
Ban all radio and TV political ads including "news" that is blatant political pushing.
Restrict contributions to candidates to only those businesses and firms within the political boundaries that office is being campaigned for. IOW if one is running for a congressional district the only ones illegible to contribute are those who have a permanent residence in that zone.

I think Gope is operating on the assumption they lose the White House this year, again. They're now calculating HOW they will lose as softly as they can.
My first thought was, and is: Find a senior statesman, unimpeachable character guy, who will lose gracefully, with dignity.
I've thrown out names, but really, I don't care who. If that's the route they go, my only hope is it hastens the death of that stupid Party.

The problem is the Republican Party is a private club that can do whatever the hell it wants. It may have dire consequences but that's the way it is.
What is completely egregious is if the candidates are playing by rules that were set months ago and then midway or more than midway in they decide to change it, then that is problematic and potentially a litigious circumstance.

He actually wanted me to stop. But I didn't and they gradually started getting more and more depending on available news at the time. I think that was sometime around 2009.

Doom Part Deux:
Inflation-adjusted federal tax revenues hit a record $1.48 trillion for
the first half of fiscal year 2016, but the federal government still ran
a $461 billion deficit during that time, according to thelatest
monthly Treasury Department
We are collecting record Taxes but we are running ~ $1 TRILLION annual deficit.
Oh and remember the rest of the year gets worse because everyone is rushing to meet Tax day. We are so screwed.

The Department of Education will send letters to 387,000 people they've identified as being eligible for a total and permanent disability discharge, a designation that allows federal student loan borrowers who can't work because of a disability to have their loans forgiven.
If every borrower identified by the department decides to have his or her debt forgiven, the government will end up discharging more than $7.7 billion in debt, according to the department.
So they went to school to get an education to get a job yet they're too disabled to work so they can't pay back their loans for the education they need for the job they can't work to begin with. And poof $7.7 billion is just shoved down our throats

No word in this article which simply says he has filed the suit as to whether a judge will allow it to proceed since while Republicans had congress they passed a law which outlawed these kinds of retaliation suits against businesses who comply with the laws. These suits are the brainchild of rabid anti-constitution gun grabbers who still file them as part of their lawfare against guns. They should be counter-sued into bankruptcy.

You can get new ones. Ask for them at your local bank. I usually get 10 or so for my kids birthdays.

Note that Ryan said the nominee should be someone who has run for the job (participate in the primaries), not from the 3 currently running. This opens the door again for Jeb!, Rubio, Walker, Jindall, etc.
So the plan could be support Cruz to deny Trump the 1237 needed. 1st vote at convention Trump falls short and delegates are released to vote their "conscience". Trump and Cruz are dumped and the establishment nominates Jeb! Jeb wins and picks Rubio for his VP and the establishment gets Jeb!/Rubio which was their original plan before Trump upset their apple cart.

One is to get the GOPe to introduce that legislation, which will be dead on arrival. The other is to be Obama on steroids and EO the fuckers out of existence. And I don't see Cruz doing that, as a good case could be made that such an act is contrary to the constitutional prerogatives of a president.IOW, Cruz is blowing smoke, and that - along with his utterly disingenuous vow to prosecute Scankles - really pisses me off.

It's still bullshit. I also don't like the whole "you should do whatever the cop says so you don't get beaten/pepper sprayed/tazed/shot, whether he has any lawful authority or not" position. There is a measure of practicality to it, granted, but it's the mindset of a cowed, scared populace living in an authoritarian state, not one of free men.

From what I heard yesterday on the Ryan news reports, the convention sets it's own rules. It has it's own rules committee composed entirely of campaign representatives.
I think that means Trump, Cruz, Kasich and Rubio (the people with actual delegates) decide whose name can be placed in nomination. Ryan was just acknowledging reality: he can't be nominated if the convention rules are so structured.

Incorrect. The cop pulled her over for failure to signal, then decided he was going to show her who had the biggest swinging dick around by God because she didnt want to put out her cigarette.
Posted by: Insomniac at April 13, 2016 07:27 AM (0mRoj)
===============
BS. She ran a stop sign. It is on the tape but edited out in most of the postings but you can find it. When he tried to tell her why he pulled her over, she is the one who said it was bc she did not signal and he said no. She was acting so erratic and bizarre, he suspected she had drugs either possessed or was under the influence of drugs. He asked her to put out her cigarrette so she would not use it to burn him and to get out of the car.
Bland was the sole cause of her arrest and death. I hope the cop is acquitted bc charging him was bullshit.

I've been wondering about that. The numbers seem remarkably high. I had a friend who was killed in a car accident only moths after graduating from USC, though far as I know, he didn't have any loans. So I can understand somebody who was doing everything right but suffered a devastating injury or was diagnosed with some crippling disease not being able to ever earn at remotely the level they expected when those loans were taken out.
But nearly 400,000 people in those circumstances? How far back does this go? Are they including people who still had student loan debt from the 80s? It seems odd that that dispensation for those classified as totally disabled is only happening just now. It isn't like injury or disease is a new development in the human experience. Shouldn't there have been provisions for this going back decades? Or is the real story that the details to fulfill that 'totally disabled' status has been greatly expanded to include far more debtors than before?

Mark Steyn on SCOAMF's ridiculous theory of resolving the Middle East conflicts:
We cannot fix failed states by inviting millions of their people to move in with us. All that ensures is more failed states, more failure, and eventually 'one by one' the nations of the west will join them. And then you'll really be yearning to breathe free and there will be nowhere to do it.

This "erratic and bizarre" behavior thing is made up bullshit. He was pushing her about being "irritated" and she said she was because he pulled her over. Are you that in love with petty fascist assholes that you feel the need to make shit up to rehabilitate them?
