    Making sure the elites are the only people who can own property. They will probably set the rent controls where you can’t pay your taxes, insurance, and most importantly the note every month with rental income. The only way to own property will be if you can pay cash.

    We really need to start a communism thread for the comparison of Democrats, and their mouthpiece media tactics, to Russian and China communism.

    Disgraced ‘60 Minutes’ Deceptively (and Maliciously) Edits Ron DeSantis Video


    CBS News’ disgraced news magazine 60 Minutes has been caught maliciously editing comments made by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) about a fake “pay for play” conspiracy theory, which fake media outlets like 60 Minutes are trying to fabricate out of thin air.

    Side Note: DeSantis’ full and complete and reasonable answer was available on YouTube, but now the exculpatory YouTube video has mysteriously vanished after conservatives began sharing it.

    Over Easter weekend, 60 Minutes released a clip of its correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi (pictured, right) basically heckling the governor with her debunked conspiracy theory during a March press conference. But…

    The clip released by the fake outlet is maliciously edited to make it look as though DeSantis dodged and bulldozed her question rather than answer it — which he did to the satisfaction of any reasonable person.

    “Publix, as you know, donated $100,000 to your campaign,” Alfonsi angrily says. “And then you rewarded them with the exclusive rights to distribute the vaccination in Palm Beach –”

    “First, of all what you’re saying is wrong,” DeSantis fires back.

    “How is that not pay for play?” Alfonsi shouts back.

    “That’s a fake narrative,” DeSantis explains. “I met with the county mayor, I met with the administrator, I met with all the folks at Palm Beach County and I said, ‘Here’s some of the options: We can do more drive-thru sites, we can give more to hospitals, we can do the Publix.’ And they said, ‘We think that would be the easiest thing for our residents.'”

    Alfonsi shouts back that Palm Beach County Commissioner Melissa McKinlay says DeSantis “never met with her about the Publix deal.” She then heckles the governor: “The criticism here is that is pay for play, governor!”

    “And it’s wrong, it’s wrong,” DeSantis replies. “It’s a fake narrative. I just disabused you of the narrative. And you don’t care about the facts. Because, obviously, I laid it out for you in a way that is irrefutable.”

    By design, DeSantis looks ridiculous in the 60 Minutes clip, like he’s claiming a victory he didn’t earn, like he’s just shouting words like “disabused” and “facts” and “irrefutable” hoping that will make it so….

    Ah, but that was obviously the disgraced fake news magazine’s plan, because what the fake news magazine didn’t want its gullible viewers to see was the most crucial part of the exchange — DeSantis’ full and comprehensive answer.

    The full video (which was first located by Twitter user @AGHamilton29), was summarized by Fox News using a YouTube video of the unedited clip, but — surprise, surprise, — that video disappeared from YouTube last night.

    Here’s the Fox summary of DeSantis’ full answer:

    “First of all, the first pharmacies that had [the vaccine] were CVS and Walgreens and they had a long-term care mission, so they were going to the long-term care facilities. They got the vaccine in the middle of December, they started going to the long-term care facilities the third week in December to do LTCs,” DeSantis told Alfonsi. “So that was their mission, that was very important and we trusted them to do that. As we got into January, we wanted to expand the distribution points.

    “So yes, you had the counties, you had some drive-thru sites, you had hospitals that were doing a lot, but we wanted to get it into communities more. So we reached out to other retail pharmacies: Publix, Walmart, obviously CVS and Walgreens had to finish that mission and we said we’re going to use you as soon as you’re done with that,” DeSantis continued.

    DeSantis added that Publix was the “first one to raise their hand” and to say they were ready to distribute the vaccine. The vaccine was then rolled out on a “trial basis” in three counties, seniors gave the rollout “100% positive” feedback.

    The disgraced 60 Minutes hit-job is such hackwork, The former head of Florida’s emergency management agency — a Democrat — is declaring it hackwork:

    — Lachlan Markay (@lachlan) April 5, 2021

    Everything the establishment media publishes and broadcasts is a big, fat lie.

    All the corporate media do is lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.

    Only idiots trust 60 Minutes, or any of these other fake outlets. It’s all lies, and after they are done lying, they lie some more and then some more, and then they go home and think up more lies, and then tell us those lies. CBS still hasn’t even covered Gov. Coumo’s nursing home scandal and deaths.

    They are all lying liars who lie.

    Stop watching and reading the fake media.

    Don’t even hate-watch them.

    Ignore them.

    P.S. The disgraced 60 Minutes still hasn’t covered Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D-NY) nursing home scandal.

    There's a "socialist agenda" hidden in the sweeping spending proposal that President Biden will introduce tonight in his first address to Congress, contends former Republican Gov. Chris Christie, a possible 2024 presidential candidate.

    Biden is "not telling the truth to the American people to hide a socialist agenda," Christie said Wednesday morning in a video conference call to a gathering of conservative activists and leaders in New Hampshire called the Right-of-Center group, Fox News reported.

    Biden's speech tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern Time is not a State of the Union address. In a president's first year in office, it's known as an address before a joint session of Congress.

    He is expected to lay out his agenda for pandemic recovery and economic development and reference legislation addressing policing and his massive infrastructure proposal.

    Due to COVID-19 restrictions, only 200 members of Congress will attend. The only Cabinet members will be the secretaries of state and defense. And Chief Justice John Roberts will the only member of the Supreme Court in attendance.

    The White House evoked centrist rhetoric in its preview Wednesday morning of Biden's spending plans, declaring they "reinvest in the future of the American economy and American workers and will help us out-compete China and other countries around the world."

    However, Biden-friendly CNN clearly struggled in its effort to find the words to describe the president's policies, declaring in a web headline "Biden to showcase his moderate radicalism in his big congressional address."



    Washington Examiner investigative reporter Sarah Westwood contends the "centrist rhetoric belies a litany of progressive priorities that the White House has included in the proposals,

    The American Families Plan, for example, would offer free pre-K and community college, expand food stamp programs and impose new paid leave requirements nationally. Biden plans to pay for the massive proposals by reversing President Trump's 2017 tax cut law, hiking taxes on people making $400,000 or more per year, nearly doubling the capital gains tax on investors who earn more than $1 million and raising the corporate tax rate.

    Biden has insisted that people who make less than $400,000 a year "won't see one single penny in additional federal tax."

    But Christie told the New Hampshire conservatives Wednesday that "it's a lie that he won't tax anybody under $400,000 per year. It's just simply not true."

    Economists, indeed, have warned that the tax hike could devastate small-business owners who file their business income on their personal taxes.


    Christie, describing it as "a family business tax increase," argued that "any family that's starting a business is now going to be subject to increased taxes, regardless of how much money you make."

    And while Biden has emphasized the repair of roads and bridges in his $2 trillion infrastructure plan, most of the spending goes toward a Democratic Party wishlist that includes funding electric cars, housing and healthcare-related subsidies

    Biden also has portrayed his immigration plans as centrist, Westwood noted, despite the devastating migrant surge that has been widely blamed on his policies and messaging. The president proposes creating a pathway to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants and removing restrictions on people seeking to join family members in the United States.

    'Tax attack' on retirement nest

    Christie said the proposed capital gains increase amounts to a "tax attack on IRAs and 401ks."

    He predicted "the stock market will fall" and average investors "will lose their retirement nest egg."

    The former New Jersey governor, who ran for president in 2016, pointed out the bill entitles workers who quit their job -- not who get fired or laid off -- to 75% of their salary in unemployment benefits.

    The benefit would go to people who quit for what the government determines is a "good cause.

    124 Retired US Military Officers Warn of Conflict Between Marxism & Constitution Freedom


    LINK
    quote:

    More than 120 retired U.S. generals and admirals signed an open letter warning that the United States is embroiled in an existential fight and urged “all citizens” to get involved in local and state politics.

    “We are in a fight for our survival as a Constitutional Republic like no other time since our founding in 1776. The conflict is between supporters of Socialism and Marxism vs. supporters of Constitutional freedom and liberty,” states the letter
    quote:

    “Election integrity demands insuring there is one legal vote cast and counted per citizen...”
    quote:

    “China is the greatest external threat to America. Establishing cooperative relations with the Chinese Communist Party emboldens them to continue progress toward world domination, militarily, economically, politically, and technologically. We must impose more sanctions and restrictions to impede their world domination goal and protect America’s interests,”
    They also address constitutional abuses related to the pandemic and Iran.


    This is very encouraging

    Democratic party is full of people who may not openly declare themselves as Marxist, Maoist, etc. but they sure do like to be friends with them, and seem to adhere to their ideology.

    Even if you are generous and allow that they are Marxist-lite, Dems are just a step away from full blown communism. They WANT to be commies and will gobble up as much freedom from us as they can.

    Come on d80. You’re just fear mongering. It’s not like they want to eliminate the 1st or 2nd amendment. They certainly don’t want to tax us all into the lower class. They absolutely don’t intend to restrict and regulate the means of production until businesses close because it is no longer profitable to make ANYTHING. Well.........crap!

    Well, Chipotle is bumping everyone to a $15 minimum wage. I’m sure this company that supports democrat/socialist policy will be fine with a much tighter profit margin. There is no way they actually think their fast food is worth $10-$12 per plate, right?
