The Masses Are Conspiring With Trump

10/31/17 Pew Research:

Despite persistently low levels of public satisfactionwith the state of the nation, most Americans say they have achieved the “American dream” or are on their way to achieving it. Only about one-in-five (17%) say the American dream is “out of reach” for their family.

The American dream means different things to different people, however. Far fewer Americans say “becoming wealthy” is essential to the American dream than say the same about personal freedom and a good family life.

Overall, 36% of U.S. adults say their family has achieved the American dream, while another 46% say they are “on their way” to achieving it, according to an August survey by Pew Research Center. (The survey asked people about the “American dream,” as they define it.) People who say they have already achieved the American dream are generally older, more affluent and better-educated than those who say they are on their way to achieving the American dream and those who say it’s out of reach.

That evil Mr. Trump.

A Corporate Tax Break That Needs to Go

11/2/17 Washington Times:

The GOP plan would prohibit professional sports stadiums from taking advantage of tax-exempt bonds, which state and local governments often float for important public works projects.

Generally used for roads, hospitals and the like, a number of communities have extended them to help out sports teams, usually as a way of enticing a team to stay in a community.

Municipal bonds are for government projects.  Why the NFL billionaires were allowed to enjoy this makes no sense.

Like What I Am Reading About Tax Proposal

11/2/17 Los Angeles Times:

The plan would immediately slash the corporate tax rate to 20% from 35% and streamline individual rates from seven brackets into four.

In addition to ending write-offs of state and local income taxes, mortgage interest deductions would be limited to new loans of no more than $500,000, down from the current $1 million. Deductions for second homes would no longer be allowed. Property tax deductions would be capped at $10,000....

"What we are seeing today is a plan that exacerbates the unfairness and inequality in our tax code," said Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.). "The Republican tax plan would put two thumbs down on a scale already tipped towards the wealthy and powerful. ... Surely we can do better." 

Because poor people own second homes and have mortgages larger than $500,000.  Does Schumer ever ask himself if what he is saying makes sense?

More Evidence the Democrats Want Trump to Win in 2020

Daily Wire reports:

Employees within the Democratic National Committee are looking for new employees in the Technology Department. However, the DNC is apparently not interested in your resume if you happen to be a white male.
In an email issued to DNC insiders on Monday, Data Services manager Madeleine Leader announced that the Technology Department is looking to fill several positions and asked interested parties to forward the openings to their colleagues.
She included the following caveat:

I personally would prefer that you not forward to cisgender straight white males, since they're already in the majority.

True Madness in Pennsylvania

From Prince Law:

Attorney Prince was successful in obtaining relief for Mr. Yox, who had previously been involuntarily committed as a juvenile but later went on to honorably serve in our Armed Forces and later as a state correctional officer. Under federal law, Mr. Yox was permitted to possess a firearm and ammunition in his official capacity as a law enforcement officer, but was precluded from possessing a firearm and ammunition in his private capacity.

That Mirror Cell

Mostly done.  I just need to make some clips to attach to the top to prevent the mirror from sliding out the top,  then some foam to hold the mirror in position and protect the surface from the clips.

And the Hits Keep on Coming

11/1/17 CNN:

NPR's senior vice president of news Michael Oreskes stepped down on Wednesday amid allegations of sexual harassment in his past.

NPR CEO Jarl Mohn said he asked Oreskes "for his resignation because of inappropriate behavior."

Oreskes admitted to wrongdoing in an internal memo obtained by CNN.
"I am deeply sorry to the people I hurt. My behavior was wrong and inexcusable, and I accept full responsibility," Oreskes wrote.

Is this why the left is so focused on rape and harassment?  More projection.
