“We Have A Historic Opportunity” – Sen. Wyden Releases Dems’ Plan To Tax Unrealized Capital Gains

Assessment: If ever there was a way to discourage investment in the US economy from wealthy investors, this is it. Once the tax is instituted, a trickle down to the middle class is inevitable …

Earlier this week, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen (and a handful of her fellow Democrats in the Senate) announced their intentions to help fund President Biden’s ‘Build Back Better’ agenda with a new tax on unrealized capital gains for the wealthiest Americans. The event led to this widely viewed clip of Yellen explaining that the tax on “extremely liquid assets” would only apply to the wealthiest Americans during an interview with CNN’s state of the Union.

We later learned that Democrats were setting their sights on $5 trillion of billionaire wealth extraction, something that would move the US closer to AOC’s stated goal of eliminating billionaires.

So overnight, Sen. Ron Wyden, the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee (which is, by the way, different from the Senate Banking Committee) released the much anticipated details of the tax on unrealized capital gains for billionaires as Democrats are working on how they will raise enough taxes to offset the spending in particularly the second part of Biden’s ‘BBB’ plan which involves a massive expansion of the American social safety net, among other Dem agenda items.

Biden Ordered Unvetted Afghans Onto Planes Out of Kabul. Ignored Security, Packed Them In

Assessment: As for numbers, Kahl said the following were evacuated:

  • About 2,000 embassy personnel
  • 2,004 NATO citizens
  • 5,530 Americans
  • 3,335 third-country nationals
  • 2,496 people with Special Immigrants Visas
  • 44,874 on non U.S. aircraft
  • 64,052 “at risk” Afghans

Kahl said 84 percent were Afghans “at risk of various kinds.”

The Afghan “refugee” suspected of raping of a young woman in Montana might well have been there on a direct order from President Joe Biden.

As the United States pulled out of Afghanistan in September, Biden personally told the American ambassador to Afghanistan, Ross Wilson, to send unvetted Afghans to the United States, Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) revealed yesterday.

During a hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Hawley read an e-mail from Gregory Floyd, consul general at the embassy, which said to “err on the side of excess” and pack the planes until the fuselage rivets burst. The Missouri Republican revealed the e-mail during questions for committee witness Colin Kahl, the undersecretary of defense for policy.

Kahl detailed the six categories of individuals Biden evacuated, the smallest group of whom were American citizens and embassy employees. Almost 85 percent were Afghans “at risk.”

Now those unvetted Afghans are causing problems. Aside from the rape suspect in Montana, Afghans planted at U.S. military bases have been accused of child molestation and domestic abuse. They also arrived with child brides.

‘Award-Winning’ Sexually Explicit Books Terry McAuliffe Kept in Virginia School Libraries

Breitbart: Former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) vetoed legislation when he was in office that would have required parental notification for the use of school teaching materials that included sexually explicit content, and he is now defending his action by claiming his Republican opponent Glenn Youngkin supports book banning and racism.

“Glenn is spending his final days of the campaign focused on banning award-winning books from our schools & silencing the voices of Black authors,” the Democrat tweeted Monday.

“The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.  2 Thess. 2:9-10

Folks, let’s take a step back. Glenn is spending his final days of the campaign focused on banning award-winning books from our schools & silencing the voices of Black authors. I know we can read between the lines and see these Trumpian dog whistles for what they truly are.

@TerryMcAuliffe

Twitter users, however, shot back at McAuliffe regarding the “award-winning books” his veto kept on the shelves of school libraries in Virginia …

Report: Facebook Suppressed Breitbart News Traffic by Twenty Percent

Assessment: Don’t get me started. There was a time when Facebook readers and shares, came in to Prophecy Tracker by the hundreds. Today it is a trickle. There was a time when Google searches were 50% higher than they are today. And there was a time when Editor and I would come across our own site while researching a particular topic. That was ‘BA’, before algorithms made sites like ours invisible.

The Wall Street Journal has published internal material from anonymous sources at Facebook revealing that the company introduced tools that suppressed the traffic of Breitbart News by 20 percent, and other conservative publishers by double-digit margins.

The company introduced two tools after the 2016 election that disproportionately harmed conservative publishers. The Journal highlights internal Facebook research showing that if both tools were removed, it would increase traffic to Breitbart News by 20 percent, the Washington Times by 18 percent, Western Journal by 16 percent, and the Epoch Times by 11 percent. Facebook eventually removed one of the tools while keeping the other — but it is unclear which of them had the most impact on traffic.

“And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end” Daniel 12:9 

According to the Wall Street Journal, one of Facebook’s researchers feared, “We could face significant backlash for having ‘experimented’ with distribution at the expense of conservative publishers.”

The story also revealed that Breitbart News is relegated to a “second tier” of the platform’s News Tab, where it gets less exposure than its corporate establishment competitors. Read More HERE …

‘Serious enough for you now, Barack?’ Furious parents tell Obama to apologize

Assessment: On Monday a Loudoun County judge found the boy ‘in a skirt’ guilty of sexually assaulting Smith’s 15-year-old daughter in the girls’ bathroom …

Parents have demanded that a Virginia superintendent and school board resign after accusing them of lying to cover up an alleged sexual assault in order to push their pro-transgender policies.

At a Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) board meeting on Tuesday enraged parents cited an email that surfaced last week where Superintendent Scott Ziegler reported an alleged sexual assault in the girls’ bathroom.

The email, which was sent on May 28, 2021, contradicted a statement Ziegler made the month before when he publicly said that he had no record of bathroom assaults.

“Her princes within her are like wolves tearing the prey, by shedding blood and destroying lives in order to get dishonest gain.” Ezekiel 22:27 KJV

Some stood in front of their school, chanting: ‘Loudoun County Protects Rapists!’

The case drew national attention because the boy was wearing a skirt at the time and the girls’ parents – Scott and Jessica Smith – said it was what they feared might happen more if Loudoun County Schools starts allowing boys into girls’ bathrooms frequently as part of a progressive transgender policy.

Republican Gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin has harnessed part of his education platform in the case, saying: ‘What tragedy next awaits our children?’

On Sunday, Obama was campaigning for Youngkin’s opponent – Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe – when he attacked Youngkin’s general position on education, the Capitol riot, and policing.

He said, in part: ‘We don’t have time to be wasting on these phony, trumped up culture wars. This fake outrage that the right-wing media peddles to juice their ratings.

‘The fact he’s willing to go along with it, instead if talk about serious problems that affect serious people, that’s a shame. That’s not what this election is about. That’s not what you need, Virginia.

‘We should be doing more to support people who are educating our kids.’  Read More @ Daily Mail, UK HERE

 

Cyber attack on Iranian fuel highlights sensitive domestic pressure point

Assessment: The reported attack’s messaging is designed to tell Iranians that their regime is not infallible, while the disruption to the gas-pump supply underscores an issue that’s led to destabilization in the past …

The widespread cyber attack reported in Iran on Tuesday appears to be aimed at sending a strong message to the Iranian people about the state of their radical regime, while also putting pressure on the Islamic Republic ahead of a central junction that could prove fateful for the Iranian nuclear program.

According to reports, the attack left gas stations across the country unable to function, and by coincidence or not, comes weeks before the anniversary of widespread demonstrations by Iranians against a rise in fuel prices in 2019. The hike came after Iran, which subsidizes its domestic fuel supply, increased fuel costs by 50 percent following international sanctions pressure on it.

“I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords.” Ez.38:4 

Especially interesting are reported messages sent by hackers to the screens of fuel-pump stations and to highway digital directional sites.

“Khamenei, where is our fuel?” read one sign over a busy Iranian highway. Another photo that emerged from Iran showed a gas-pump screen displaying the message: “cyber-attack 64411,” listing the phone number for the office of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The subversive public messaging, combined with the disruption of energy, forms a powerful effect, telling Iranian citizens that their regime is not as infallible as it presents itself. Read More @ JNS HERE

Nationalism To Confront Globalism In Glasgow

Zero Hedge:

“Extraordinary, isn’t it? I’ve been hearing all about COP,” said the queen to the duchess of Cornwall.

“Still don’t know who is coming. … We only know about people who are not coming. … It’s really irritating when they talk but they don’t do.”

Queen Elizabeth II was expressing her exasperation at the possible number of no-shows at the U.K.’s coming climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland.

“While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease.” Genesis 8:22

Among the absentees may be Chinese President Xi Jinping, whose country generates more carbon dioxide than the U.S. and EU combined.

Behind the queen’s exasperation, however, lies a political reality.

Nations like China are discovering that meeting goals for cutting carbon emissions can stall economic growth to where the regime itself is at peril. Read More …

Assessment: Nothing quite like a leftist conclave of hundreds of gas guzzling private planes spewing carbon to call the world’s attention to the dangers of ….. carbon. Xi Jinping must be hysterical.

Michael Oren rips Biden administration for ‘anti-Semitic’ policies

Assessment: The purpose of opening the consulate is to recognize Palestinian claims on Jerusalem. If there is no legitimate claim on the city, there’s no reason to have a consulate there …

A former Israeli diplomat and lawmaker has accused the Biden administration of pursuing an ‘anti-Semitic’ policy, and urged the Israeli government to challenge the planned reopening of the American consulate in eastern Jerusalem.

Israeli Diplomat Michael Oren Is Man in Middle - The New York Times

Speaking with Radio 103FM Monday morning, former Israeli Ambassador to the US and former MK Michael Oren excoriated the Biden White House over its plans to reopen a consulate in eastern Jerusalem which in the past served as a de facto mission to the Palestinian Authority.

“I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land.” Joel 3:2

Israel lauded the Trump administration for closing the consulate in 2019, arguing that the presence of such a consulate for the PA in Jerusalem negated Israeli sovereignty over its capital city.

The move came after the Trump White House relocated the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and officially recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Now, Oren argued Monday, the Biden administration is working to undermine that recognition, effectively reversing US policy vis-à-vis Jerusalem.
