Little delay in blogging here. Plumbing issues which have been finally taken care of. Making vet appointments for five cats. Tax preparation time etc. The disappearance or kidnapping of Savannah Guthrie's Mom. ICE kidnaps people all the time but somehow it's considered normal law enforcement. It's a favorite theme of the Right that social protest movements are not organic but somehow engineered or orchestrated by certain higher-ups. George Soros and Bill Gates I guess. I thought they were gluten-free, normal folk being outraged by something but The Right has never liked protest movements to begin with. Somehow violates law and order or being a good citizen. So Trump calls popular podcaster Joe Rogan a great guy and called him up just a few says ago. Re the current ICE situation in Minneapolis Trump told Rogan they're bad at PR. I guess they need to explain better why shooting protesters multiple times makes sense.
So clearly Trump wants to make some type of massive illegal immigration crackdown the main thrust of his second term. How 'bout something more unifying like simplifying the tax code? No street theater, maybe a little boring and dry at times but nobody loses their lives unnecessarily and senselessly. Help people put food on the table and buy a house. No chaos necessary.
Have a good day.
The times they are a changing - will the GOP congress , which compelled the Clintons testify vis a vis Epstein, drag the British Royal Princesses in for interrogation?

Now that you are winterized, the sidewalk week patrol will be after your. Life is a struglle against entropy.
Picture if you will if something like tax reform or simplifying the tax code, some issue most people could get behind were a signature achievement of Trump's second term and not the immigration Gestapo. Not chaos but a better quality-of-life. Not having to spend an inordinate amout of time on taxes.

ReplyDeleteDriving my Trump friend home again. Any criticism of Trump is attacking Trump the new crime. He could join the roundtable over there.
DeleteMy thoughts on taxes. If you're going to take part of my money by force they're better not be one pothole in the road. Touch unrealistic ok. From a purely libertarian perspective it's like the mob coming in demanding a small part of your salary but we're going to use it for good purposes. Government says we need that money more than you. So for me there will always be some moral issue with the income tax. I'm performing some service for somebody why is it the government's business? Leaving all that theorizing aside though at least simplify the tax code.

ReplyDeleteSo if you abolish the IRS the main approach I guess would be getting revenue from tariffs. I have heard people say they'd be willing to pay more for goods and services if it means abolishing the IRS and the tax code.
Amazon outshines SHIEN - one of their AI delivery drones crashed into somebody's front door, crashed and burned. Small wonder the Amazon delivery boxes have a smile on them.

ReplyDelete"The economy added 130,000 jobs in January — far more than economists had anticipated — while the unemployment rate edged down slightly to 4.3%, Labor Department data released Wednesday showed.
Still, according to updated 2025 numbers, the economy gained a paltry 181,000 jobs for the entirety of last year, revised down from the earlier reported growth of 584,000 jobs — the slowest pace of job growth outside a recession since 2003".
