First of all, nobody should find it strange that the New York Times is trying to tamper with the results of the election by releasing this leak just now.
So, Donald Trump paid $750 for his taxes one year.. or at least, so goes the claim.
That said, let’s look at what they’re not telling you.
At the moment, Donald Trump has perhaps a billion dollars in real estate holdings. The word holdings is not an idle choice of words.
You see, it doesn’t mean you make a billion dollars annually and then pay taxes on that…It only means your properties have appreciated annually.. or in the case of New York City holdings, probably not.
You only pay taxes on the profit when you sell it.
Apparently the New York Times is hoping that you’ll not notice what they left off.
You know, if the New York Times actually made the same effort that they did in leaking Donald Trump’s partial tax return, in investigating call Joe Biden managed to make millions of dollars while supposedly being a public servant oh, they might actually have some credibility.
Alas, going after the real story is beyond the New York Times
Update: apparently, the Times has very quietly dropped this nothingburger of a story. Don Surber explains
The New York Slimes had purported to have obtained years worth Donald Trump’s stolen tax returns, released them and proven little, from the New York Slimes courtesy Professor Althouse:
From “An Editor’s Note on the Trump Tax Investigation”: “Some will raise questions about publishing the president’s personal tax information. But the Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that the First Amendment allows the press to publish newsworthy information that was legally obtained by reporters even when those in power fight to keep it hidden. That powerful principle of the First Amendment applies here.”
Slow Joe’s, b/k/a former Senator Joseph Biden, Senate records are in custody of the University of Delaware. If a legal custodian of the records were to do his patriotic duty and release the records to the Slimes, would the paper publish the people’s records?
Of course rather that Old Man Biden records, I’d like to seem Biden Boy’s record. Anybody in China who spare a copy?
For all you good readers who Chuckles the Clown, b/k/a Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer(D – NY) was both smart and Jewish, I suggest it is time to re-think, from Daily Mail(UK):
‘Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg must be turning over in her grave up in heaven,’ he [Chuckles] howled.
Several poked fun at the Senator for that line, with one stating: ‘RBG hasn’t even b been buried yet…’
I claim no knowledge of the existence of Heaven, nor of its admission requirements. However I do note that the concept of Heaven is largely a Biblical one, and not Jewish one. U hardly expect that when Schumer is not playing politics in his role of Chuckles the Clown that he gives the idea of Heaven more than a passing thought.
I do note that as Chuckles is willing to don the mantle of a Fred Phelps does reflect, rather poorly, on his credibility, or rather lack thereof, as a politician. It would behoove the Senate Minority Leader to restrain his rabid anti-Catholic Senator Feinstein and Harris on the Judiciary Committee. Prediction he will not, and it will not go well for either Chuckles or his caucus.

One of the first lines of attack on Barrett was to say that she is a bad mother for being an accomplished professional.
My, how far feminism has come.
It got worse from there. The next bit of bottom-feeding was to go after the judge’s kids, because the liberals are nothing but class:
I noticed that a particularly nasty line of attack was developing against ACB Friday night on Twitter. A Democrat staffer and activist posted a thread pondering if the adoption process for her two Haitian-born children was legit. The person even implied that maybe the children were snatched up and taken out of Haiti by “ultra-religious Americans”.
As I have had to say all too many times in the last year: these people are filth.
Yeah, no kidding. And as I said in a Short Bits earlier today, both Biden and Pelosi claim to be Catholic. So why is it they’re going after the judge for being Catholic?
Whatever else happens going forward, it must be said that Donald Trump has successfully maneuvered the Democrats into being precisely what they are. There’s no more hiding, because any student of recent history can tell you that there’s no hint of logic to their objections. They simply can’t help themselves. What’s left is raw animus and raw power -hunger.
And if you think the voters aren’t seeing that clearly now, think again.
I tell ya, the Democrats only hope at this point in the forthcoming election is that the voters either has a very, very short memory, (less than a month) or they simply don’t care. And with the Trump -haters, the letter seems a great deal closer to the truth.
A few quick ones:
# I don’t know about you but I’m personally looking forward to learning who it is that judge Amy Coney Barrett sexually assaulted in high school.
# The Hill is reporting that mega moron John Legend is suggesting that Americans are going to have to leave the country if Donald Trump is elected president. Who does this guy think elected him president?
# As a measure of how much electorial trouble Joe Biden is in, you couldn’t steal a Biden sign off of front lawn, if you wanted to.
# So, if basement Biden tells us he’s Catholic and Nancy Pelosi tells us she’s Catholic, why are the Democrats worried about a supreme court nominee being Catholic?
This stuff is almost becoming cliche. Over at PJM, Rick Moran writes:
It’s unclear if any of the $466,000 raised by Sir Maejor Page, 32, went to any charitable of philanthropic endeavor at all.
Page was apparently a familiar face in Atlanta where he led several protests against the death of George Floyd. He was arrested in Toledo, Ohio, where he had purchased a $112,000 house.
Page founded Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta in 2016 and this year took in more than $466,000 in donations in June, July and August, Desorbo said.
“In sum, Page has spent over $200,000 on personal items generated from donations received through BLMGA Facebook page with no identifiable purchase or expenditure for social or racial justice,” he said.
The FBI in Toledo said Page pledged to use those donations “for George Floyd” but instead used the money make purchases related to food, dining, entertainment, clothing, furniture, a home security system, tailored suits and accessories.
Oh, it gets better with this guy.
I would urge you to go and read the whole thing.
Pay particular attention to the passages involving the reaction of other members of BLM in the Atlanta area.
The one question however that I note nobody has asked… how is what Page did any different than looting a store?
I’ll bet he has a few choice words for law enforcement these days as well. As I keep saying, the wolves will always complain about the sheepdog.
From FrontPage magazine, we see:
FBI employees discussed the January 5, 2017, briefing of Obama: “What’s the word on how O’s briefing went”? asked one employee, to which the other replied, “Don’t know but people here are scrambling for info to support certain things and it’s a mad house.” “Trump was right. Still not put together…why do we do this to ourselves. What is wrong with these people.”
FBI analysts knew it was so bad that they “all went and purchased professional liability insurance.”
The “concern when we got it was that there was a big leak at DOJ and the NYT among others was going to do a piece.” Further, “the new AG might have some questions…then yada yada yada…we all get screwed.” On January 13, 2017, FBI employees messaged that “someone leaked the Flynn calls with Kislyak to the WSJ.” In a response reeking with sarcasm, an FBI employee messaged “I’m so sorry to hear that. I’ll resume my duties as Chief Morale Officer and rectify that.”
Newly produced notes of Peter Strzok show that Strzok met with [deputy assistant attorney general] Bruce Swartz, Lisa, and George at DOJ on March 28, 2017, where he noted Flynn Intel Group “satisfied the registration obligation” and “no evidence of any willfulness.” Nonetheless, “Bruce” decided to issue subpoenas to Flynn Intel Group “and more.”
According to exhibits C and D: “The new Strzok-Page text messages show that Strzok played games with the FBI Sentinel serialization system and entry of 302s, Strzok and Page were pulling talking points from a Lawfare article, and “F’in Pamela Brown knows there were two phone call memos.” Further, “these text message reinforce how zealously Strzok and Page were working to oppose Trump’s election and subvert the peaceful transfer of power.”
These notes show clearly the degree to which the FBI was politicized. These guys are supposed to be the best of the best…. The untouchables, to coin a phrase. But it’s clear now that the seventh floor was about as corrupt as they come.
Now here’s something to think about: if these best of the best can be corrupted this easily and this completely, is it really beyond possibility that place is like the CDC and the military are not similarly corrupted?
Take the military, as an example. We know there was a political purge happening in the military during the Obama years. There’s a huge number of articles on this topic. By way of example one in Investors Daily, who said of Obama:
What the president calls “my military” is being cleansed of any officer suspected of disloyalty to or disagreement with the administration on matters of policy or force structure, leaving the compliant and fearful.
And that’s the military that President Trump is working with at the moment.
The CDC also seems rudderless outside of political motivations. The pronouncements they make seem designed to be used against orange man bad, until such time as somebody actually looks truthfully at the situation reveals the problem with the CDC pronouncement and it gets reversed. I’ve written about this one repeatedly.
And then there’s the USPS upon which the Democrats have placed all their hopes.
Corruption, thy name be Democrat.
We certainly hope that we’re going to see some recompense for this corruption and corrective measures. But given the amount of corruption that we see, particularly in the agencies tasked with investigation and prosecution of such corruption, it’s a fair question as to whether or not it will actually happen.
I do love the smell of Democrat desperation in the morning. In this case the pencil neck geek himself via Fox News:
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) is calling on Republicans working in the Trump administration who have a “good conscience” to do one thing — resign…
He said, “This is a moment that I would say to any Republican of good conscience working in the administration, it is time for you to resign.”
Sounds to me like somebody’s getting nervous.

Okay, Democrats and their fellow travelers amongst RINOs… School is in session.
So you think that this USSC nomination is not being fair to the Democrats.
First… I keep hearing a lot of chatter from the Democrats about how we need a balanced court.. and about how we’re not being fair appointing a Justice.
Where in the constitution does it say that the court has to be 4 liberals and 4 conservatives or or for that matter where does it say that there has to be a certain number of liberals on the court at all?
And I don’t remember the Democrats hollering about fairness during the Warren Court.
It’s been my observation that the word “fairness” generally gets used by people who have figured out that what they’ve been doing hasn’t worked to their advantage. This is particularly true in politics and this is a case in point.
You’re going to have to set your mind to the idea that this is all part of the political process.
(“Were you paying attention four years ago when Neil Gorsuch…”)
(Snip)
Yes, I was paying attention for years ago when Justice Ginsburg made the argument that the President should make the appointment. (Obama in that case.)
Notice however, that she said nothing about whether the Senate should approve that nomination. That’s because she knew it wasn’t going to happen… Not with a Democrat president and a Republican Senate. That decision is up to the Senate, you see. She recognized that the political process of selecting a Supreme Court Justice (and that’s what it is, a political process), was above her purview.
And this dying wish crap is exactly that, a tug at the emotional heartstrings in a last-ditch effort to keep Democrats in power. Again, there’s nothing in the Constitution that says the selection process for a Supreme Court Justice all goes out the window on the basis of a dying wish. Sorry, no sale.
One of the many reasons that Hillary Clinton didn’t win her presidential bid was because she took advantage of the votors. She never showed up in the key battleground of Wisconsin, and when she did show up to a spot, she showed absolutely no commitment to it. She basically took the attitude of “it’s my turn and I don’t have to work for it.” It was as if we owed it to her.
The funny part is now we are seeing pretty much the same thing from Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris. Biden has been hiding in his basement almost permanently, and we haven’t heard word one out of Kamala Harris in the three months that she’s been a vice presidential candidate.
On the surface at least there are some logical reasons behind this. Remember the Democrats financially speaking have been in serious trouble.and yes the Tom Steyer’s and George Soros’s of the world have ponied up with substantial amounts of money. But in my judgment is it’s not enough to cut it… And I think the Democrats know that.
Which would mean that the reason we’re not seeing much these days is they don’t have the kind of money necessary to run a decent campaign.
Couple that with the idea that they really don’t have much of a candidate, for either position.
Every appearance has proven to be a complete disaster… and as a whole, things are not looking up for the Harris-Biden administration to actually become a thing.
And all that got me to thinking…”what if the Democrats are actually planning to lose?”
We’ve seen several threats in the press, of violence if Trump wins the election… Almost as if they know without publicly admitting it, that he is going to win.
I don’t know if it’s true but it seems to me a distinct possibility that what we are being set up for here is armed revolution from the left. It’s happened in various European States over the years in the same fashion.
Again, I don’t know if that’s true or not, but it does seem to me unlikely that following the kind of defeat of the Democrats that I’ve been predicting will happen… (and the defeat they appear to be setting themselves up for by the way)… That the Democrats will simply collect their marbles and go home.
Following the Bush-Gore debacle in Florida years ago, I not only suggested that this was the new normal, but that it was warm up for something larger.
I strongly suspect that this is the something larger.

From The Federalist, we learn:
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents tasked by fired former Director James Comey to take down Donald Trump during and after the 2016 election were so concerned about the agency’s potentially illegal behavior that they purchased liability insurance to protect themselves less than two weeks before Trump was inaugurated president, previously hidden FBI text messages show. The explosive new communications and internal FBI notes were disclosed in federal court filings today from Sidney Powell, the attorney who heads Michael Flynn’s legal defense team.
It’s no wonder that there have been forces trying to keep this Flynn story under wraps. But there’s more explained here as well…
Agents also said they were worried about how a new attorney general might view the actions taken against Trump during the investigation. Shortly after then-Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) was confirmed to be Trump’s new attorney general, congressional Democrats, media, and Obama holdovers within DOJ immediately moved to force Sessions to recuse himself from overseeing the department’s investigations against Trump.
I know that there are some people who won’t want to hear this, but based on these facts and other facts revealed in the story which I urge you to read, it’s looking increasingly likely but this politicization of the FBI came directly from Obama himself.
Years ago the Democrats had the KKK as their military wing, to burn churches, houses, women and children business and generally raise hell with established society.
Later on, they got the civil Rights movement to do that for them. That’s how we came by a permanent lower class of the cities. they got black people to burn down their own neighborhoods in the ill-defined name of “civil rights”, an action from which many neighborhoods took decades to recover from. But at least it had the advantage of turning lots of money over for the race pimp industry. The Jesse Jackson’s, the Al Sharpton’s and so on.
Having made that recovery, the Democrats have evolved, and now they have BLM to do that for them.
You see, the Democrats discovered a long time ago that you’ll never make an enemy in the short-term out of somebody whom you encouraged to point the finger of blame at somebody else for all their troubles.
And what would the Democrats get out of this? Power. They are absolutely desperate for it.
It saddens me that we have to keep relearning this lesson.
. Oh yes, the trustworthy USPS.
Mail-in ballots from the military serving overseas were found in the trash in Pennsylvania. The ballots were discovered during an investigation into election issues in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. They were all votes for President Trump.
Can you imagine why somebody might not want to accept the results of this election with things like this going on?
This is what Democrat party corruption looks like.
