Morning AB, All. Again I thank AB profusely for putting up this thread weekly and so reliably. I thank Bray for weekly wisdom and yon commenters for your input from all walks of life. It helps to bring perspective and insight.

Below is a compilation of my daily political journal entry from my Facebook page “Politics by Pat”. Read if you want, pass by if not. But by all means please stay and participate in this thread.

Daily Update


Rush Limbaugh and payroll

My grievance today is with Rush Limbaugh.

Yes I love the guy and listen to him religiously.

But Rush knows not much about payroll and I will explain why. Bear in mind, Rush does not receive a paycheck and hasn’t for many years.

And if somebody wants to send Rush a link to this item, please do.

Because, I, ladies and gems, know payroll.

Now I am not especially proud of that although it is a legal and respectful occupation.

I know what everybody in America makes, indeed, even on the planet.

I have installed many payroll systems, paid people all my life, paid taxes withheld…etc., etc ., etc.

Rush says that your employer DOES not match your FICA deduct.

Well he comes up with some nutball formula but allow me to explain how it works.

FICA tax is 6.2% of your income. This money is DEDUCTED from everybody’s paycheck.

Comes time to send that money in to the IRS, including federal tax withheld, an additional 6.2% is added to the balance due, to be paid by the employer.

For the record, medicare tax is 1.45% and is also part of the money sent to the IRS with an additional 1.45% from the employer.

Rush says that bull hocky, that your employer does NOT match that 6.2% although he most certainly does.

Rush’s argument is that when the employer hires you he might pay you, say, $60,000. But the employer will only pay you maybe $55,000 because he or she knows about that match for FICA or SS. Meaning that the FICA and Medicare match were originally part of YOUR annual salary. Had that beleaguered employer not been obligated to match your SS and Medicare YOU would have those actual funds in your paycheck.

Yeah, it’s an argument, but it’s a stupid one.

There is no guarantee anywhere in the world that the employer even considers this when paying a salary to an individual. And if he or she does, come on, they should also be factoring in Workman’s Comp money, which is based on pay, money for unemployment compensation also based on pay.

My point being that to say the employer does NOT match your FICA/Medicare for the silly reason that he calculates it in with what you WOULD have gotten….Rush I love you but it’s dumb reasoning and a bit misleading.

Anyway, lots of things are payroll amount based and it’s not all calculated into how much to pay an employee.

Employees are paid based on market forces.

Rush surely ought to know that.

Daily Update

So the guy running to fill the spot vacated by Tom Price who was appointed Health and Human Services Secretary….did NOT get 50% of the vote.

And he DOES, indeed, look just like the pajama boy.

This seat was once held by Newt Gingrich. I did not know this.

Also, there is a new book out about the Hillary campaign and I just might read it.

It’s called “Shattered” and it will be a hoot, I predict.


Thursday-date-

Daily Update


Bill O’Reilly gone. So is Aaron Hernandez.

I have never heard of Aaron Hernandez and I am a bit of a true crime buff.

Yesterday the guy was found hanging by a sheet in his cell. He was very dead.

Hernandez evidently murdered someone and got life without parole. He also must have been involved in the murder of two other people but he was acquitted for that trial. Still, they don’t try you for crimes that no way you committed.

Most times.

This morning I hear that the situation surrounding Hernandez is suspicious. Like relatives of everyone else in the world who ever killed himself, his family does not believe it’s possible Hernandez hung himself, that he had too much to live for.

Heh. Too much of what? Another day in jail with no possibility of parole?

And yesterday the New England Patriots, formerly his team, went to the White House to receive honors.

That right there is reason enough for Hernandez to hang his murdering self.

We’ll see where this silly thing goes. And that’s TWO n’er-do-wells who did the world a favor by ending their life. The other was that stupid Facebook killer.


Heh. I really cannot stand Bill O’Reilly and am delighted he is gone.

Bill O’Reilly would sell his mother and dog for some attention and in those last struggling years he had on Watters and other guests to help shore up his show, which was awful.

And all those books telling us the truth were boring and often full of fiction.

We hear Tucker Carlson is lined up for a prime time slot and yeah, I really like Tucker.


Friday-date-4/21/17
Daily Update


So there’s riots in France and the Italian Ambassador paid a visit yesterday.

President Trump told the Italians they got to pay more into NATO.

Heh.

As for the French riots, a policeman was killed. ISIS took credit.

They need to be stopped, these ISIS creeps.


Saturday-date-4/22/17
Daily Update

Just a heads up on the upcoming government shutdown.

Get ready.

Because little do those elite snob buckets know who live in D.C. that most of America does not even notice when the government shuts down, and, in fact, rather enjoys it.

Now they don’t shut down the military or all government checks. Which is kind of odd in that if you want people to notice, or care, you stop things that affect THEM.

Which is very little to us peons who carry this country on our backs.

To: Alas Babylon!

Here’s one that always gets my attention whenever I think of how we owe 20 trillion bucks and how that entire amount could have been paid off just by righing one wrong: a theft by the cabal of three hits of 5 trillion each back in 2009.
It’s here:
http://tdarkcabal.blogspot.com/2016/10/october-10-2016-white-hats-report-54.html
Here’s a clip:
.................
October 12, 2016 – White Hats Report #54 – It’s now or never
We had a long, detailed report prepared, analyzing the two debates and the aftermath and the points and counterpoints and after writing three pages of information that, in review, should already be obvious to our readers, we decided to shift gears, step back and reassess our message.

We have issued 54 reports in 6 years, some lengthy with attachments and details, others with concepts and ideals and still others with just raw information. We have written about the cabal and the many players involved including both sides of the political aisle. It should be obvious that we’ve been clear in our identification of the crime families who run the political parties in the US. They’ve occupied the White House for over 30 years with the exception of the last eight, an aberration due to the perceived need by the cabal to speed up the moral decay of the country.

We’ve revealed Vatican Bank accounts and balances which included both political parties, we’ve revealed the Falcone theft which included conspirators from both political parties and we’ve revealed the $15T fraudulent transfer of funds to Pureheart Investments, LTD. in Europe…which once again, included both political parties. The pattern is obvious.

We have sent information regarding the above issues to all members of Congress and in the Falcone case, the US Supreme Court. This was in the form of flash drives which included documents and supporting evidence. The silence has been defeaning. Not surprising but still, disappointing nonetheless. So this means all 535 elected politicians in DC are aware of the crimes of fraud and theft committed by the cabal on the citizens of the US. Taking no action makes them ALL accomplices after the fact for not reporting a crime. It’s called misprision of felony. It would be prudent to mention that the majority of the 535 members of Congress are lawyers as are the 9 members of SCOTUS. Of course we can’t forget about the mainstream media which is not only complicit in these crimes for not reporting them but also derelict criminally by aiding and abetting in the cover up after the fact.

It’s also become obvious to the majority of Americans that their government is corrupt and does not represent them in any way but rather the special interests (aka corporations) and financial institutions that control the planet. We’ve had numerous discussions on how to fix the problem, take back our country and restore the Republic. It starts with arrests, massive arrests that would include hundreds if not thousands of government officials, corporate officers and most importantly, bank officials and employees EN MASSE. This conclusion was always reached after various individuals were considered for assuming a leadership position only to be disqualified due to the above issues of already being criminals themselves.

The question becomes, who will make these arrests? We always knew the answer and it would stay the same until changes at the top were made but there seemed only two ways to do that, either, once again, make arrests or, vote the criminals out. The latter would lead us right back to the earlier discussion of WHO would step forward and take the lead in restoring the Republic. Sadly, we could not identify one single candidate from the government or political specter.

It was our hope that our exposures of criminal theft and fraud and even treason in some cases, would bring attention to bear on these issues and either force law enforcement to start investigations and eventually make arrests or some in the alternative media to bring the exposure to light. The more information we released, the more entrenched the cabal became. It should be obvious by the lack of prosecution of HRC in the email situation that the DOJ is political as well.

It should also be obvious that there are rules of law that ONLY apply to a certain segment of the population, the largest segment that is the common person. The person who works hard to put food on the table and a roof over their head and if they’re lucky, might get to take a week vacation in the summer. The rest of the population, small in both number and percentage, are shielded from all laws and regulations and are allowed to use and abuse the larger segment for their own enrichment.

How long will we sit back and observe all of this as if it’s some movie made for our entertainment? How long will we sit back and hope for someone else to step up and fill the leadership void and battle the cabal? How long will we sit back and think that as this country continues to go down the road to ruin that it won’t ultimately affect us or our descendants?

The time is now to act because if we don’t, the options going forward get severely narrowed. Options that no one wants to consider.

The Clinton crime family in collusion with the Bush crime family has now completely revealed themselves in the current presidential election. The media is openly complicit is this ruse, elevating a parking ticket level offense by Trump into a major felony while continuing to downplay HRC’s treason and capital offenses into a jaywalking violation. The HRC agenda is simply a continuation of the current direction of the country, which, to coin a phrase, is a slow motion train wreck. If HRC gets elected, she’ll put the pedal to the metal and speed the process to the point where this country will be unrecognizable in four years. Citizens of the US: Is this what you want?

Many of our readers have asked us over the years what kind of action they could take to assist in the restoration of the Republic. The answer has always been: spread the word, get involved and make a difference in your community and state. THE TIME IS NOW.

The biggest irony of the presidential election, and there are plenty here, is that Donald Trump is the product of the laws, regulations, policies and practices of the DC corporation. Congress enacts tax codes for all forms of taxes to collect from the public and Trump takes advantage of these regulations to build a business empire. Politicians take campaign contributions from individuals and businesses to enter the good ole boy’s club and Trump uses it to his advantage and builds a business empire. Congress passes ridiculous trade agreements that favor corporations and Trump takes advantage and again, builds a business empire.

The good part of this election is that the cabal and cabal minions, supporters and enablers are revealing themselves in huge numbers as their desperation grows by the day. The mainstream media is leading the charge and remember that they are the ones who conduct, control and release the bogus “polling” numbers on a daily basis. The creating our reality part of the equation is falling apart and the ridiculous polls are a very important part of that process. They release a poll conducted on 500 registered voters or 446 registered voters or 1,231 registered voters and based on that, they can predict how a state will vote and therefore, the Electoral College tally for the election.

This is wrong and abhorrent on so many levels it would be laughable if it wasn’t so sad.

Some of the voters in the US don’t like Trump for various reasons and he is surely not at the top of many people’s wish list for President. But he has stepped up; put his family and his own safety on the line to fight the cabal’s stranglehold of this country. Is anyone else willing to do this? It doesn’t appear so as Trump has now not only taken on the Democrats but the Republican hacks as well. Isn’t this what we all have been waiting for? Someone to challenge both parties with the potential opportunity and position to do something about it? Think about it. If not Trump, who? If not now, when?

When you fantasize about someone, anyone coming in to save the day, who is it that you envision doing that? One of the many politicians who’ve already sold us out to banks and special interests? Or maybe one of the government bureaucrats who get paid handsomely for doing the cabal’s dirty work in an official capacity? Or perhaps one of the many former politicians (lawyers) who periodically work for the lobbyists and corporations they enrich while in elected office? Who?

In the last debate, he finally talked openly about all the crimes and lies of HRC and stated he would appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the Clinton crime family. Would this maybe result in the arrests we’ve all been calling for the past few years? And count on HRC giving up a long list of co-conspirators if she’s indicted. We know HRC supports TPP which would finish the US economy if Obamacare doesn’t do it first and she continues to lie and deny that this is the case. She wants open borders which will continue to decimate this country and hasten our demise.

It’s laughable that the Clinton crime family attempts to blame Russia for the continual stream of leaked emails that expose their true mission to continue down a path of destruction for the US. It should be apparent to everyone who is releasing the emails and why and it will probably continue until the election and beyond.

Looking Ahead

We will continue with our weekly release of information as we are compiling date on several issues that, in our usual style, will expose the cabal’s crimes and frauds perpetrated on the US citizens and the world.

We cannot allow the election to be manipulated or rigged by either of the political parties. If we want to be represented in this election, there are things that we can do to participate and one of them in downloading PollMole to our phones and taking part in the exit polls that will be conducted on November 8. We need everyone reading this, and everyone you know to download this free app and help ensure this election is won by the candidate the people choose, not the one chosen by the cabal.

The esteemed inventor of PollMole, Dr. Richard Davis, recently was interviewed again Saturday night by John B. Wells on his Ark Midnight show and will be interviewed tonight at 10 PM EST by Kerry Cassidy of Project Camelot.

Joke received from a friend but so true

I DIDN’T CHECK THE MATH!

There are two families: “Joe Legal” and “Jose Illegal”. Both families have two parents, two children, and live in California ..

Joe Legal works in construction, has a Social Security Number and makes $25.00 per hour with taxes deducted.

Jose Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash “under the table”.

Ready? Now pay attention...

Joe Legal: $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000.00 per week, or $52,000.00 per year Now take 30% away for state and federal tax; Joe Legal now has $31,231.00.

Jose Illegal: $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week, or $31,200.0 0 per year. Jose Illegal pays no taxes Jose Illegal now has $31,200.00.

Joe Legal pays medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for his family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $24,031.00.

Jose Illegal has full medical and dental coverage through the state and local clinics and emergency hospitals at a cost of $0.00 per year... Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.

Joe Legal makes too much money and is not eligible for food stamps or welfare.

Joe Legal pays $500.00 per month for food, or $6,000.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $18,031.00.

Jose Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for food stamps, WIC and welfare. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.

Joe Legal pays rent of $1,200.00 per month, or $14,400.00 per year. Joe Legal now has 9,631 00.

Jose Illegal receives a $500.00 per month Federal Rent Subsidy. Jose Illegal pays out that $50000 per month, or $6,000.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $ 31,20000.

Joe Legal pays $200.00 per month, or $2,400.00 for car insurance Some of that is uninsured motorist insurance. Joe Legal now has $7,231.00.

Jose Illegal says, “We don’t need no stinkin’ insurance!” and still has $31,200.00.

Joe Legal has to make his $7,231.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, etc..

Jose Illegal has to make his $31,200.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline and what he sends out of the country every month..

Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work

Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family.

Joe Legal’s and Jose Illegal’s children both attend the same elementary school.

Joe Legal pays for his children’s lunches, while Jose Illegal’s children get a government sponsored lunch.

Jose Illegal’s children have an after school ESL program. Joe Legal’s children go home.

Now, when they reach college age, Joe Legal’s kids may not get into a State School and may not qualify for scholarships, grants or other tuition help, even though Joe has been paying for State Schools through his taxes, while Jose Illegal’s kids “go to the head of the class” because they are a minority.

Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same police and fire services, but Joe paid for them and Jose did not pay.

Do you get it, now?

We need to get back to basics here, folks.

I did not vote for the Republican candidate, I voted for Donald Trump. He happened to be the Republican candidate.

I did not vote for Ivanka Trump, I voted for Donald Trump. If Donald wants her advice, fine. We The People should NOT be financing her staff or desk.

I voted for Donald Trump regardless of what some Joe Bagodonuts named Senator Langford thinks of Donald. In fact, most Republicans don't like their President and don't really support him. I do. Senator Badodonuts will probably get caught up in the swamp draining at some point, along with his buddies.

I expected that Donald Trump will have to persevere over Democrats and Republicans in order to drain the swamp, reverse the out-of-control spending, regain America's rightful place as leader of the free world, and be the place that people look up to and want to be like. It will take some time, it will be difficult and noisy, and sometimes it will appear to be very difficult. BUT, Donald Trump is the best hope this country has. All he needs to do is remember what he said he would do, and do that.

Thanks for this thread. I’ll catch up on what happened. I couldn’t take anymore. Put OAN on. No hysteria, and I actually learned a few things during their history breaks. Briefly clicked over to Stephy to hear what a horrible job Trump did his first 100 days and that was enough propaganda for my Sunday morning.
