...National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Passes in the House...

This is no accomplishment yet..It still needs 60 votes in the Senate. But, it is a nice try.

Do they have the votes? Is the bill being blocked from voting?

I’m ecstatic we have consequential conservative wins. It wasn’t that long ago we had nothing. Zippo. Nada.

National Reciprocity will never pass the Senate. The fact that the House passed it is nice, but I would not add something like that to the list.

The House also passed a full repeal of ObamaCare 34 times. Did we list that as some "great accomplishment"?

The Tax Law is also a disappointment to those who are losing thousands of dollars in deductions and will get a tax raise, not a tax cut.

That is why we have to make sure that we increase our majority in the Senate to 60 seats, because the rats will never agree. You know how they feel about guns.

What about Trump exposing the seriousness and scope of the Deep State's corruption (FBI, DOJ, State, DNC, Media, etc.)

And whatever happened to KATE'S LAW? Still stuck in the Senate????? WTF?

That is a nice list. But I won’t be REALLY impressed until the entire Obama cadre that broke uncountable laws while feverishly working to destroy America are all behind bars and the rule of law is restored.

Not sure how Israel warrants a mention. I’m concerned with American citizens not some foreign power that is a questionable ally.

And who would those people be that are going to have a tax increase? The high tax states, maybe? If you are talking about Ca and NY, they deserve to pay their fair share. The low tax states have been subsidizing them for far too long.

You have it backwards. Keeping more of your own money from Washington DC is not a subsidy.

But those states getting back more in Federal dollars than they pay is.

Your state is #6 is on being subsidized by other states.

A ridiculous distortion. What is returned to states depends on what is paid to the Feds and CA has been subsidized for years. State taxes are intentionally kept high so that money does not go to DC, while other states such as MO that actually have a balanced budget are screwed to the ground for treating their citizens fairly. Trump and the republicans have declared that time is over, thanks to tax reform.

That is completely false.

And state taxes were never kept high so that Washington could get less. Look, I am against high taxation at every level, but there is a reason the US Tax Code since 1913 made double taxation via SALT illegal. They called not allowing state and local taxes to be deductible “immoral.”

The Tax Law gives a MASSIVE tax cut for corporations, and sends the tab to millions in the middle class to “pay for it.” Do you know how many middle class families should have their taxes raised so that corporations get Billions in tax cuts?

Zero.
