New York Times Cowers From It’s Own Reporting On The California Wildfires

by

What a difference a couple of years and a new President make in how the New York Times  reports on the California fire situation.  The New York Times, in several articles, predicted those very ‘self-same’ fires to which Donald Trump recently observed that California’s broken Fire Management System bore some responsibility.  For nearly 2 1/2 years the NYT pointed out (credit where credit is due) that California was tinderbox waiting for a spark and that the ‘fuel load’ was incomprehensible.  And yet, let Trump point out the obvious, the same point made by the newspaper for years, they fact-check Trump and say, “it’s complicated.”  This is why “FakeNews” claims resonate with any thinking person that stays moderately informed  and has  even a bare minimum of critical thinking ability.

Any reasonably fair news organization would have written something to the effect that Gov. Brown and his Liberal Green California Democrats and their politically correct policy decisions bear some responsibility for the conflagration and should own it.  Wouldn’t the same logic that says Donald Trump is responsible for the deaths of 2 Illegal Immigrant children because “he’s President, and it’s his policies” that make it more difficult for Illegals to sneak in, also then, apply to Gov. Brown, his policies, and his crew for every one of the more than 76 deaths from the Camp Fire and the rest.

Here’s a few of the stories featured in the New York Times about the inevitability of catastrophic fires in California.

Public Service Announcement – Know Your Parasites

It’s especially important during this ‘extended Government Partial Shutdown’ that Media Publishers, large and small, pick up the slack left by an idle government and do their part to continue to inform the American public about the perils of parasite infestations wherever they might occur. Today’s PSA covers the Greater Washington D.C. and Beltway area. Be vigilant.  And be safe out there!

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Needs Your Money

by

Americans For Tax Reform report that the “Ocasio-Cortez Tax Plan Creates 82.7% Top Income Tax Rate for New Yorkers.” Whoa!  Let’s see how many good New York and California (83.30% tax) liberals jump on that train to nowhere.

The current top federal income tax rate is 37 percent, so the Ocasio-Cortez plan will nearly double the tax rate for the top bracket.

New York State has a top income tax rate of 8.82 percent while New York City has a top rate of 3.876 percent. So under this proposal, her constituents would pay a top combined income tax rate of 82.7 percent:

Federal income tax rate:   70.0%
NY state income tax rate: 8.82%
NYC income tax rate:       3.876%
TOTAL:                           82.696%

New Yorkers would not be the only ones suffering under the Ocasio-Cortez plan. California taxpayers would pay a top rate of 83.3 percent (70 percent plus the California rate of 13.30 percent).

In addition to this high income tax rate, taxpayers would remain impacted by other taxes including payroll taxes, taxes on capital gains income and dividends, and the death tax.
