Wtf is an e-bike? Does that mean it only exists on the internet like an e-book?

a $900 credit for buying an e-bike... up to 30% of the cost? That’s a $3,000 bike?! Talk about a 1%er! But wait... its means-tested so you also have to earn $72,000. So that bike has to be 3-4% of your annual income.

Am I the only one tired of the whole "do a trick, get a dog biscuit" tax code? It's past time to nuke the whole thing and just pay a tax rate on your income with no personal defections, exemptions or credits. I really don't care if you're a teacher or you buy an e-bike or even donate to charity. Do what you want with your money but don't demand that I subsidize it on April 15th.

After being called on the carpet in the Oval Office the other day, CNN toes the line.

The money to fight infant and maternal mortality is (as always) misplaced.

My wife works in NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) in Champaign, Illinois. She says the reason there are so many deaths is due to ingesting large quantities of drugs and alcohol, not lack of insurance coverage.

$900 tax credit for purchasing an e-bike but then you’re stuck with an e-bike

Half a trillion for worthless endeavors to change the climate.

We need fossil fuels to survive. The universe will balance itself.

When will this get the name it deserves:

Mitch McConnell Constructs Legislative Roadmap for Democrats to Raise Debt Ceiling Unilaterally

December 7, 2021 | Sundance | 229 Comments

There’s a lot of convoluted internal stuff, but essentially Mitch McConnell is going to set up a process for Democrats in the Senate to raise the debt ceiling by themselves.

Mitch will enlist the usual Decepticon suspects to change the senate rules, for one-time only, allowing democrats to raise the debt ceiling without having to enter negotiations and concessions for anything republican lawmakers want (like eliminating the Biden spending bill).

McConnell will need nine more republicans to change the process, but it looks like he’s going to be successful.

This will permit Democrats to raise the debt ceiling by approximately $2 trillion, so they can continue debate on Biden’s Build Back Better bill. Yeah, Uniparty gonna Uniparty.

WASHINGTON DC – […] The Senate minority leader spent Tuesday selling his members on a convoluted strategy that would require at least 10 Republicans to approve legislation that would later allow Senate Democrats to raise the debt ceiling by a simple majority vote. After a leadership meeting and a Senate GOP lunch, McConnell said he’d done enough work to clinch the deal in a vote expected on Thursday. (read more)

So the Senate DeceptiCons will *claim* to be against the multi-trillion ‘Build Back Better’, fundamental change, spending bill. Yet they will have facilitated the Democrats not having to negotiate or eliminate anything inside the BBB bill, by removing the leverage of the debt ceiling raise. Yep, Uniparty gotta Uniparty – all courtesy of the DeceptiCon caucus. I hate them.

President Donald Trump notes the Mitch McConnell nonsense in a statement:

“I’m watching Republican Senators talk about fighting the horrendous Build Back Better Bill that the Democrats will push forward, made much easier for them by the 19 Republican Senators who voted for the Democrats Unfrastructure Plan, which is only 11% Infrastructure, and also by McConnell incredibly giving the Democrats a two-month extension, which allowed them to get their act together. Now the Republicans start fighting a much harder war, and I told them this would happen. It’s pathetic! Those 19 Republicans, including the Broken Old Crow, should not be forgotten for what they have done and the absolutely horrible ramifications this Bill will have on the future of our Nation. Just like McConnell blew two Senate seats in Georgia, and wouldn’t fight the Rigged Presidential Election, he gave this one away also.” (link)

Keep in mind this is the end of the political career of Mitch McConnell regardless of the 2022 election outcome. I doubt there’s anything that will shift McConnell’s position, he’s been doing this stuff for years; but only recently did more people wake up to it.

The last federal budget passed under regular order was signed into law in September of 2007 for fiscal year 2008. Everything after that has been a series of continuing resolutions, omnibus spending, baseline budget expansions and debt ceiling increases. There has never been a full budget process worked through in the past 14 years.

” bill will be fully paid for when accounting for a proposal to enhance tax enforcement,”

Translation: The bill will be fully paid off the backs of middle class tax payers thru massive tax hikes. At no time will my friends, family or donors see one dime of increases.

“would increase the deficit by $367 billion over the next 10 years”

HAHAHAHA I needed a good belly laugh to start the day.

Patriot taxpayers are reminded that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the alleged election stealing, elite Democratic pirate lawmakers the specific power to tax and spend for the things that they are trying to do with the Build Back Better bill.

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
"[...] a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country." —Justice Louis Brandeis, Laboratories of Democracy.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

So why is the federal government now so unconstitutionally powerful?

Contrast the Supreme Court's clarification of the greater 10th Amendment (10A) powers of the states in the United States v. Butler excerpt above with what was left of 10A after FDR's state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices got finished with it in Wickard v. Filburn (Wickard) which the Court wrongly decided in Congress's favor imo.

In fact, using inappropriate words like “concept” and “implicit,” here is what was left of the 10th Amendment after FDR's state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices got finished with it when they wrongly decided Wickard in Congress's favor imo.

"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
"In discussion and decision, the point of reference, instead of being what was "necessary and proper" to the exercise by Congress of its granted power, was often some concept [???] of sovereignty thought to be implicit [??? emphases added] in the status of statehood. Certain activities such as "production," manufacturing, and "mining" were occasionally said to be within the province of state governments and beyond the power of Congress under the Commerce Clause." —Wickard v. Filburn, 1942.

The bottom line is that patriots need to primary incumbent state lawmakers who don't agree to use their 10th Amendment powers to help eliminate the unconstitutional middleman, the unconstitutionally big federal government, from "helping" the states to manage their revenues.

Insights welcome.

The ultimate remedy for unconstitutionally big, alleged election-stealing, Democratic Party-pirated federal and state governments that manufacture crises to oppress everybody under their boots...

Consider that all the states can effectively “secede” from the unconstitutionally big federal government by doing the following.

Patriots need to primary federal and state elected officials who don't send voters email ASAP that clearly promises to do the following.

Federal and state lawmakers need to promise in their emails to introduce resolutions no later than 100 days after start of new legislative sessions that proposes an amendment to the Constitution to the states, the amendment limited to repealing the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments (16&17A).

In fact, I challenge the states to ram the repeal amendment for 16&17A through the ratification process faster than Nancy Pelosi irresponsibly rammed unconstitutional Obamacare through the House. /semi-sarc

Again, insights welcome.
