Lower Taxes on China, Raise Taxes on Americans

Biden Lifting Some China Tariffs to Fight Inflation

Wow, taxes increase prices to consumers?!!! What a concept! Remember that Biden’s “Build Back Better” plan has NOT backed off on any tax increases for American companies, but he’ll gladly ease up on his communist buddies. Note: EVERY American tariff still in place is a retaliatory measure to counter a tariff or unfair trade practice in the target country. So Biden will effectively take us back to the pre-Trump era where China had free rein with screwing us over. And by making it tougher for American companies to compete, it only INCREASES our dependence on China. Newsflash: much of the supply chain clusterfuck around the world is a direct result of China’s brutal, inefficient “Zero Covid” policies.

Next Front in the War Against Freedom: Red Flag Laws

For those of you who don’t know what red flag laws are, the idea is that we stop mass shooters by taking away guns from people who exhibit the “red flags” of mental disease or the potential to be a murderer. As with the removal of “misinformation” and “hate speech,” red flag laws sound good on the surface, but they too suffer from the same flaw — who decides and what qualifies? They’re simply another way to remove Constitutional rights from anyone who may threaten Ruling Class power. The list of possible justifications are endless. For example:

You attempted suicide decades ago as a teenager.
You were within blocks of the Capitol during the January 6th riot.
You’ve been accused (but not charged with) domestic violence by a vindictive ex.
Your accounts have been suspended by Twitter or Facebook.
Someone (such as an FBI agent) hacked into your social media account and posted a threat.
You’ve protested Covid lockdowns and vaccine mandates.
You donated money to the NRA or Kyle Rittenhouse defense funds.
You’ve liked or re-tweeted anti-government or anti-New World Order posts.
You refuse to surrender your AR-15 or “excessive” ammunition.
You’ve been charged with a crime, but the government delays the trial for years.
You got in a drunken bar fight years ago.
You have a parent or sibling who committed violent crimes; i.e. a genetic red flag.

Get the idea? Expect unelected bureaucrats to administer the laws without checks’n’balances. Don’t count on courts to protect you since you’ll lose your rights while appeals work their way through the courts, and if you eventually win your case, as with Covid, tyrannical government leaders will just modify the laws slightly to start the process all over.

So Glad We Have “Fact” Checkers Looking Out for Us 🙄

There’s absolutely NO evidence that Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao, and others would be any less successful in their genocides if their victims were armed. 👌

Thoughts on “Red Flag” Laws

I’m by no means an anti-gun control fanatic. I believe if you take politics out of the discussion, there are reasonable compromises to protect gun ownership for law-abiding citizens while keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals. However, there is one measure I passionately oppose — Red Flag laws. Essentially, these are laws that prevent gun ownership by those who have raised a number of “red flags” indicating they may commit deadly acts, such as violent social media posts, mental health hospitalization, and prior criminal records. On the surface these sound reasonable, but the problem is who interprets what are considered red flags? What if you were in a ballroom brawl as a stupid teenager? What if you posted on Facebook: “My husband forgot our anniversary; I’m going to kill him”, “Our borders need to be defended”, “Illegal immigrants are a threat to my family’s safety”, “The mainstream media are the enemy of the people”, “We need a new American revolution”, and so on. What if Netflix & Amazon released your viewing history to show you like murder shows? What if you’re a history buff who has read books about Hitler? The examples are endless on what could be used as justification under Red Flag laws to take guns from law-abiding Americans. Many in the media and Democratic party have labelled all Trump supporters as racists or white nationalists. Why not label all Trump voters as red flag threats? It may sound ridiculous, but who decides? More than likely unelected government agencies will enforce the laws, with challenges only available in a slow-moving legal system packed with Obama & Clinton-appointed liberal judges. Red Flag laws are the same as “hate speech” laws and Big Tech censorship, which have been stretched and twisted to essentially shutdown speech of anyone who doesn’t toe the politically-correct liberal line. Do not give Big Brother another tool to take away more Constitutional freedoms!
