Coordinated attack on Israel underway.

IRAN AND LEFT WORK TO END ISRAEL AS A NATION 

WILL NEED TO FIGHT ALL OUT BATTLE FOR SURVIVAL

With the introduction of the Biden administration's return to the mid-east policy of the past the region is about to explode into death and destruction. Israel is facing a coordinated attack from across all its borders and an uprising from factions inside. This is accompanied by attacks by the leftist factions around the world, both politicians and the media.

The dynamics of the region changed when the Biden administration renewed funding for the Palestinian authority, which is in  effect the terrorist organization Hamas. It also is in the process of relaxing sanctions on Iran, which will allow Iran to finance more assaults by Hamas, Hezbollah and the rebels in Yemen. Of course, the goal is to reverse the progress made by the Abraham accords and apply political pressure on the neighboring  Arab nations to renew their opposition to Israel's existence.

We see demonstrations supporting the destruction of Israel in the U.S. and Europe and you can expect to see it soon in the Arab countries. This along with the liberal media condemning Israel for responding to hundreds of missile attacks from Gaza and Lebanon.

Israel is continuously labeled by the media as an occupation force, that needs to allow all comers to immigrate into Israel and in effect overcome the Jewish population. This in effect will be the end of Israel as a nation and you would again see the Jewish people of the region forced to either leave or die. The people of Israel will need to unify as never before and be willing to take whatever action is necessary for their survival. They may have to fight on many fronts and against world public opinion.

Israel may be able to survive this all out attack, but it will have to think of Israel first and not allow themselves to be put at the mercy of their enemies both on the outside and within.

Border wide open, if you can get here, you can stay.

BIDEN POLICY IS TO QUICKLY DISTRIBUTE ALL NEW ARRIVALS AROUND THE COUNTRY

THERE IS NO POLICY FOR BORDER CONTROL

The Biden administration has blamed the problems at the border as a result of the policies of the Trump administration. What they have stated is the Trump administration dismantled the system that processed new arrivals quickly into the country. There goal is to process all arrivals quickly and distribute them across the country. There is no plan to control the flow of new arrivals. 

Biden actually made it clear early on, when he told those planning to come to the country to wait until they were able to process them quickly. That is the goal. Process them quickly and bus them all over the country as quickly as possible.

Biden is asking for more funds, not to secure the border, but for more people to help with processing and busing these people into the country. We can expect this to become a flood of new arrivals that will likely overload the social welfare system, create havoc at most hospitals and see a huge increase in homeless.

The rest of the Biden plan is to supply these new arrivals with housing, food stamps and medical care. This is not speculation, but the openly stated plan from the administration. It seems we have moved from becoming the homeless shelter for the world to becoming the retirement destination for the third world. No matter what funds are allocated to house, feed and care for these new arrivals it will be years before those things can be available. In the meantime you can expect the quality of life and security for the rest of the country to decline.

Any reasonable person should be able to see that these plans are not in the best interest of this country. It is the intentional process of destabilising the social and economic fabric of the country. We expect that the solution will then be more government programs and more government control.

Never Trumpers threaten never Trump party.

 FORMER REPUBLICAN OFFICE HOLDERS WANT THIRD PARTY

LIKELY THEY JUST WANT PARTY TO BEG THEM TO STAY

Yesterday the Republican house members removed Liz Chaney from a house leadership role. Of course, she is still the representative from Wyoming, but will have less of a say in the direction of the party. She vows to do all that she can to keep Donald Trump away from the White House. The old establishment of the party is still of the opinion that they can retake control of the party. Even without Trump in office, the party will not return to the old party of the Bush's. The party is forever changed, with or without Trump.

We have seen this evolution of the republican party over the last 40 years. Ronald Reagan was never supposed to win the nomination in 1980. It was supposed to be George Bush. As vice president he was able to moderate Reagan and he then promised to follow his policy. He did not, he immediately returned to the policies that many republicans rejected in 1980. He proceeded to create chaos in the middle east with the first gulf war, which set the stage for our present over extended foreign policy. 

The grass roots revolution in 1994 was just that, it was a grass roots rebellion against the excess of the Clinton Administration. It allowed the republicans to take control of the house and senate. The establishment mostly co-oped this revolution by 1996. While Clinton was forced to moderate and Newt Gingrich made some positive steps that may have been the last we have seen of bi-partisanship. 

The second Bush was elected in 2000, it was back to war again. The 911 attack was a direct result of the former Bush mid-east policy. The destruction of most of the middle east and continuation of the policy of exercising the power of the only remaining super-power. Bush made very little effort to save working people jobs and seemed resigned to allow China to become the manufacturer of goods for the American market. Both Bush's believe in open borders. Bush one put his foot in it when he began talking about the "New world Order". Bush 2 talked of a new Highway from Mexico to Kansas city unhampered by any regulation or control. 

Obama seemed to be preoccupied with racial politics and let the state department run a campaign of regime change around the world. A stagnant economy with many small business's just surviving. Much of the republican leadership seemed content with the status quo. Manufacturing jobs continued to leak out of the country. Bank bailouts and a poor economy set the stage for 2016.

17 republicans ran for the job. A large percentage were of the adherents of the Bush trade and foreign policy agenda. Only Donald Trump stood out as an advocate of a change of direction. Jeb Bush started out at 15% and it was only down hill from there. The second string bush backed candidates didn't do much better, despite massive opposition from all over, Trump was successful because many hoped he would, unlike the rest of them, actually make changes in direction in Washington.

Trump attempted to live up to his promises. He stood up to relentless attacks and opposition from politicians and the government powers themselves. He did the best he could and showed republicans and many around the world a new way. His policies are what the vast majority of republicans support and they are more sophisticated at deciphering who supports those policies. Trump took the Reagan revolution to the next step.

Liz Chaney is just the latest designated Bush encouraged attacker of Trump and his policies. We have seen Marco Rubio, Mitt Romney, Jeff Flake, John Kasich and others, so far their attacks have only impressed Democrats in their hope that the Republican party will implode and Donald Trump will disappear, so far none of that is on the horizon. 

Now we hear that Tom Ridge, Christine Whitman, and other former members of Bush cabinets want to start a third party. Does that mean that have given up on taking control of the republican party? We will see Kasich, Flake, Dent, and other former republican office holders making noise about forming a party, I would assume it's their last desperate gasp of political relevancy. The Republican party is the New Republican party, it is loaded with lots of young, talented members and candidates.  While many grimaced at Trumps's style, He has single handedly invigorated the party for many years to come.

Has the FBI become like the great OZ.

HAS THE FBI EVER PROSECUTED ANYONE FOR RANSOMWARE

OR ARE POLITICAL INVESTIGATIONS THE PRIORITY?

The latest ransomware attack on a strategic pipeline has brought into focus this ongoing extortion by unknown hackers. Of course the usual response is the Russians did it. The Russians might as well have done it since they have been used as a foil by the FBI and others in intelligence for years now. Even when the FBI and others have been the authors of much of this disinformation. The so called Russia/Trump collusion has been proved to have been known a hoax by the FBI before they even started their three year witch hunt. 

As for ransomware, I personally had one of those attacks a few years ago, and the culperts would have settled for $189.00 paid by credit card. I didn't pay, but it caused a lot of wasted time. It has been reported that many of these attacks have been leveled at local and state government and other institutions. How are they asked to pay? Are we to believe that the FBI is unable to track and find the money? What is really going on here?

It is known that eastern europe is well endowed with sophisticated hackers. My experience was from an asian country. I actually had a conversation via telephone with someone. The hacking is possible but the transfer of money should be able to be traced, if they really want to. It would be in the best interest of all countries to cooperate in stopping this.

This would have applied particularly with Russia and Ukraine. Russia has cooperated with us on terrorism, even when the FBI  refused to heed their warnings about the Boston bombing brothers. It may now be possible that Russia will just let us figure it out on our own, since out intelligence community has been willing to blame them everytime that they are unable or unwilling to identify the perpetrators.

Of course, we must understand that the FBI is very busy these days, having to send expeditions to Alaska in search of Nancy Pelosi's laptop, raiding Rudy Giuliani's office for material that Mr. Giuliani's offered them freely. Maybe we need a new organization to investigate crime and change the name of the FBI to the Office of Political Investigation, the OPI.  Why does that sound so much like something from a totalitarian socialist country?

Vote buying does have a limit.

 WHEN VOTE BUYING OUT PAYS THE FREE MARKET, BAD THINGS CAN HAPPEN

ARE WE NOW IN NEED OF MORE GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION?

Last weeks anemic April jobs report, which came in at only 25% of the expected number of new jobs, has created an awakening for some as to the true picture of the U.S. jobs market. If they would have been listening to employers, they would have known all about this. Employers have been sounding the alarm since shortly after the last stimulus package, which extended the moratorium on rent, extended extra unemployment benefits and sent out checks to everyone. 

These extensions have been extended to September, will this lack of workers be a problem until fall?

There are millions of jobs available but "necessity is truly the mother of invention" as is going to work.

There are some who like to work, will always be looking for things to do, looking to find better ways to do things. Then there are some, and I fear a growing number, who would happily let their life go by, watching youtube,  communicating with friends on facebook and generally accomplishing nothing of value for their whole life.

The former often become successful, and then become the object of envy because they have more than the latter. It is because they embrace work as a fact of life and the latter attempt to escape it whenever possible.

All this, in a true market economy, becomes tempered by the old necessity thing. Idleness has never paid well, until we have the vote buying schemes of the purveyors of Socialism. Vote for us and we can suspend gravity if necessary to make you life easier and we will take from those idiot work lovers to keep you dependent on our good will.

History has proven, when the numbers of the work-lovers become less than the work escapers it all comes crashing down. 

It will be interesting if the socialists will be able to juggle the work environment they created until the 2022 election. They may have peaked way too early. Then again, maybe they can come up with another government program to carry them until the next election. 

Socialist never account for human action.

BIDEN'S PLAN WOULD DEVASTATE AMERICAN ECONOMY

INCENTIVES AND DISINCENTIVES WOULD LEAD TO DISASTER

Joe Biden has revealed his economic plans for America. It all sounds wonderful as long as you ignore human nature and what incentive's encourages people to work and plan for their and their families future.

Under Biden and most other Democratic plans, they want to raise taxes to as high as 52 %, this is on income of over 10 million. taxes are also raised on incomes over 200K. He also wants to eliminate the cap on social security taxes which is now at 200K. So a self employed person who has a small business would be paying 52% income, 15% social security, 5% local and state, and in some states much more, not to mention real estate, sales and other taxes. This would add up to 72% just on income. 

We also hear of annual wealth taxes, which would tax your assets at about 2% per year to start. In effect confiscation of your assets a little bit every year. 

All this would supposedly add Trillions to the government coffers and increase the federal government control into every aspect of life.

But any sane person could see that this disincentive would cause people to possibly forgo expanding and growing their business, and to shift assets to material rather than paper assets. This alone would cause a slowing of the economy and encourage people to make less money.

On the other end of the economy, if we guarantee health care, food, housing and education we have now discouraged any work at all. Why would anyone work harder so that a larger and larger share of their income would be taken in taxes. This again would cause a slow down in economic activity and begin a vicious cycle of more taxes, less incentive and more taxes, much as the economic plans in our major cities. 

As far as health care, many assume that replacing insurance companies, who now administer the financing of healthcare, with government bureaucrats would be more efficient. This is most likely just the opposite. We would see large pensions, and weak incentives to be productive, just as in all government controlled endeavors.

Necessity is indeed the mother of invention, without incentives to work, to survive and prosper we would in a short time be on the road to a Venezuela type outcome.

Also, when people resist, by hiding assets, working by barter and other ways of bypassing taxes, it will require an increasing authoritarian and intrusive government to insure compliance.

By appealing to peoples envy of those who enjoy their work and often work many hours to have large incomes and also appealing to those, who if they had their choice would do no work at all, we would be encouraging the wrong incentives for both groups. Does anyone doubt that such a system would produce more dependents and less actual hard working folk.

The embracing of these incentives is not a mistake, a miscalculation or ignorance, it is just another step to lower the wealth of the American people and the country. If one believes we need to move to a global government, we need to equalize the living standards around the world. It is not only a plan of redistribution at home, but also a plan of global redistribution. We can expect a rush to recapture the setbacks the globalists have endured for the last 4 years.

Only fair tax is a flat tax.

 WHO DETERMINES SOMEONE'S FAIR SHARE?

TAXES ARE ALSO A POLITICAL WEAPON

We continue to hear the term FAIR SHARE, a very vague term. It is always coupled with stories of wealthy individuals or corporations who have paid a low or no tax amount. If anyone is legally paying no taxes it is the fault of the same politicians who continue to use the term fair.

These same politicians like the present president, Schumer in the senate and Pelosi in the house, have been writing tax laws for decades. They have always allowed exemptions and cutouts for their favored allies. The tax laws are an abomination of bureaucratic corruption. They all made it so and will continue to do the same.

The only fair tax is a flat tax, same rate paid by everyone, without exemptions, credits and special rates for favored business's. Everyone should pay some tax. Yes, everyone, maybe the first 10,000 should be exempt, then the same rate for everyone. Everyone needs to have an equal stake in the system. What we have now is the ability of the politicians to divide the country and claim they are going to tax only the wealthy. Not revealing that it will cost everyone in one way or another. At the same time they will put in the clauses that allow their favorites to reduce their taxes.

The present system is a nightmare of intended bureaucratic complication. A flat tax without exemptions would eliminate billions of government enforcement costs and billions that taxpayers pay to do their taxes. It would be very simple and the fairest system of them all.

At present they are again talking about raising the individual rate to 39+ percent, it is a disgrace that anyone should be expected to give 40% of their income to government. Add their other taxes and they are all giving more than 50% of their income. I believe this is the historical percentage for sharecroppers. A flat tax could be much lower and possibly increase revenue.  The effective tax rate would be the advertised tax rate, not a floating number determined by political considerations.

The whole premise of controlling behaviour through the tax law should be rejected by all Americans, it is the most unfair system of them all. Taxes should be there to pay for the basic functions of government, not to influence behaviour, which we can see has been a dismal failure. Look what government manipulation has created. Chaos.and a distrust of almost all their manipulation.

The tax system has been used to divide Americans. I suspect it will soon be used to punish those not favored by the ruling elite. It is time we had a fair system that treats all Americans equally.
