[Iran Press TV] US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... will unveil a proposal to cut personal and corporate taxes by at least $5 trillion over 10 years, under a sweeping White House and Congressional plan that aims to slash the corporate tax rate by 15 percent, one of the lowest rates in the industrial world.
The corporate tax rate would be cut from its present 35 percent ‐ a level that US companies say hurts them in the global market.
The average top corporate tax rate worldwide is 22.5 percent. The new proposed US rate is below La Belle France’s 34 percent, Australia’s 30 percent and Japan’s 23 percent.
Still, the 20 percent corporate tax rate is short of the 15 percent Trump promised as a candidate and advocated for since reaching office.
But the tax cuts still represent a bigger win for companies than some skeptical executives had anticipated.

Hillary Clinton claims, in her new book, What Happened, that she was forced to spend hundreds of hours getting her hair and makeup done because Americans are super duper sexist.
"I’m not jealous of my male colleagues often, but I am when it comes to how they can just shower, shave, put on a suit and be ready to go. The few times I’ve gone out in public without makeup, it’s made the news," she wrote, according to Newsweek magazine. She says she was "shocked" to discover how much time and money it took to get her "television ready."
Apparently, in the time since she was First Lady, the nation's Patriarchy has expanded exponentially, driving women to spend hours and hours fixing their hair and putting on their face, lest their husbands and other male members of society see them in their natural state, and immediately ramp up their oppression.
Clinton was particularly jealous, she says, of Bernie Sanders, who often looks like he spent the last week sleeping under a bridge in a cold climate. The sweater-vest-and-mad-scientist-hair was Bernie's signature look, and progressive journalists took to mainstream media sites to defend his scatterbrained couture.
Clinton, however, was "forced" to prep for hours in advance of any media appaerance [sic], and spend thousands of dollars on ill-fitting coats and terribly tailored pantsuits, just so she could be "taken seriously" by a media that was booking hotel rooms for her coronation back in August of 2015.
It takes a lot of effort, Clinton writes, "just to be a woman in the public eye." Continues.

Proof of the old saying about putting lipstick on a pig....
[Wash Times] Sen. Amy Klobuchar said Wednesday that Democrats would like more tax loopholes closed in the newly released Republican plan.
"I think there’s a lot of Democrats that would favor reducing the corporate tax rate as long as we find a way to close loopholes so we have a way to pay for it," Ms. Klobuchar, Minnesota Democrat, said on MSNBC.
While she acknowledged she had not read the entire plan yet, she said she sees too much of the legislation benefits the wealthy and not the middle class.
"We really want the focus on helping the middle class," she said. "There are plenty of loopholes you could close."
She also said that Democrats promise not to take up tax reform until President Trump released his tax returns is not something she has heard mentioned.

I'm all for tax reform. Unfortunately most people in this consider a far tax plan is one that has them pay nothing and the other guy gets screwed. Somehow I think Amy's idea is a simple two line form 1040.
1) How much did you make
2) Send it in.
Maybe its time to try a flat tax with no deductions, no exemptions.
#5
There's a lot of lefty confusion about tax rates, tax brackets, and the Standard Deduction: Raising the Standard Deduction to 12K per person is a VERY big deal and VERY family friendly.

I have talked to a number of liberals about taxes and to sum up their beliefs:
* Tax corporations into extinction because they are evil
* Tax the rich more and more (even to extinction if possible) even if that means the US government has far less money because the rich are evil (with exceptions for select liberal rich).
Logic doesn't seem to sink in, liberalism really is some kind of mental disorder.
The poor dear keeps trying to find a workable excuse to change the result of the last election.
So says Maxine Waters, esteemed certifiable Congresswoman from California, who told MSNBC, the only network whose viewers are gullible enough to believe her, that the President’s tweets denouncing anthem protests by NFL players amounted to an impeachable offense.
First of course, Mad Max finds Trump’s objections to kneeling for the national anthem to be racist.
"He’s pointing now to the NFL," she pointed out. "We know that the majority of these players are African American and we know what he is doing. We’re not tricked or fooled by him in any shape, form or fashion."
Super Sleuth Waters then made a beeline from NFL tweets to impeachment.
"Here he is strongly criticizing, you know, football players, uh, the NFL players," Maxine sputtered before concluding, "he should not be the president of the United States of America and we gotta’ get ready for impeachment."
Waters is like a WWE wrestler. Not the impressive superstar kind, athletic and truly knows the nuances of her craft.
But rather, the undercard performer who has been given one lone gimmick to run with, says their catchphrase for the crowd before the match to her fans delight, then proceeds to bore the hell out of the crowd when they realize she’s not really that good at what she does.
She’s the Doink the Clown of Congress.
Waters WWE gimmick and catchphrase ‐ Impeach 45!
She’ll say it here, she’ll say it there ... she’ll say it anywhere.

Seldom taught history. You may have already seen this. I don’t typically pass these along; however, it was interesting.
True history of slavery, and reminders of how easy it is to "revise" it. And the last comment says it all.
As maniacal as it is, it’s hard to ignore this latest leftist drool about statues and monuments.
They do not have, and do not want any perspective because it is all just political for them.
Blacks were not enslaved because they were black, but because they were available.
Slavery has existed in the world for thousands of years.
Whites enslaved whites in Europe for centuries before the first black was brought to the Western hemisphere
Asians enslaved Europeans. Asians enslaved other Asians. Africans enslaved other Africans and even today, in North Africa blacks continue to enslave other blacks. Slavery has existed since the Old Testament Biblical times.
A bit of history that is conveniently ignored; between 1500 and the 1860s at least 12 million Africans were brought to the ‘New World’ of the Americas.
Of these 12 million forced into slavery, less than 500,000 were brought to North America. The remaining 2,500,000 Africans went to South America and the Caribbean. By the mid-1600s Europeans were outnumbered by Africans in cities such as Mexico City, Havana and Lima.
A few more historical facts:
1. The first legal slave owner in American history was a black tobacco farmer named Anthony Johnson; https://en. wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_ Johnson_(colonist)
2. North Carolina’s largest slave holder in 1860 was a black plantation owner named William Ellison; https://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/William_Ellison
3. American Indians owned thousands of black slaves;
http://www.smithsonianmag. com/history/an-ancestry-of- african-native-americans- 7986049/
4. In 1830 there were 3,775 free black people who owned 12,740 black slaves; http://www. ironbarkresources.com/slaves/ whiteslaves05.htm
5. Many black slaves were allowed to hold jobs, own businesses and own real estate;
6. Brutal black on black slavery was common in Africa for thousands of years; https://townhall.com/ columnists/michaelmedved/2007/ 09/26/six-inconvenient-truths- about-the-us-and-slavery- n876052
7. Most slaves brought from Africa to America were purchased from black slave owners; http://www. digitalhistory.uh.edu/disp_ textbook.cfm?smtid=2&psid=445
8. White people ended legal chattel slavery; This is a useless fact. Since black slaves couldn’t vote and had no rights, it would have been impossible for them to end slavery.
And turning to the present:
1. Barack Obama, who has stoked the fires of racial hatred for the last eight years, is the direct paternal descendant of slave owners;
2. You certainly won't hear CNN's Anderson Cooper mentioning Obama's sordid family history, lest Obama might remind Cooper, the son of heiress Gloria Vanderbilt, that his family also was slave owners;
3. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who found some Lee and Jackson statues to remove from the Empire State, seems to have forgotten New York is named for one of the most notorious slave traders in history, the Duke of York. Better tear down that Big Apple, Andy.
4. Before defacing and tearing down statues became the latest Leftist fad, Virginia's carpet-bagging Clintonista, Gov. Terry McAuliffe, characterized the Robert E Lee and Stonewall Jackson statues on Richmond's Monument Avenue as "parts of our heritage." After Charlottesville, McAuliffe re-characterized them as "flash points for hatred, division and violence."
5. "Blacks who were never slaves are fighting whites who were never Nazis over a Confederate statue erected by southern Democrats because now Democrats can't stand their own history anymore......yet somehow, it's Trumps fault!"

Didn't she just say the other day that Congress decides what an impeachable offense is? So of course she should think anything might be impeachable.
#13
I wonder if she knows that she's Rantburg's favorite chew toy. Probably not. I doubt if she could figure out how to use a keyboard and mouse.

That's the senator from my state of Oklahoma. A round of applause. Isn't he great?
[The Hill] A Republican senator said Wednesday that Russian trolls are taking advantage of the spat between President Trump and NFL players who protest during the national anthem to "push divisiveness" in the United States.
Sen. James Lankford (Okla.) said trolls are "taking both sides of the argument" by employing hashtags such as "#TakeAKnee" and "#BoycottNFL" on social media.
"They were taking both sides of the argument this past weekend and pushing them out from their troll farms as much as they could to try to just raise the noise level in America and to make a big issue seem like an even bigger issue as they’re trying to push divisiveness in the country," Lankford said during a hearing of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
"We’ve continued to be able to see that. We will see that again in our election time."
Moscow's efforts at hacking the 2016 elections allegedly included influence campaigns on social media, and officials from Facebook and Google were on Wednesday invited to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee as it probes last year's meddling.

Lankford claimed his version of the Dream Act would ban chain migration when the bill in fact lets them get green cards, which leads to citizenship after 5 years of residency, and the aforementioned chain migration. Unfortunately, Lankford cannot be primaried until 2022.
Mr. Lankford is co-sponsoring the Succeed Act with Sen. Thom Tillis, North Carolina Republican, that creates a pathway to legalization for DACA recipients, but doesn’t allow for so-called “chain migration.” The bill would not allow green-card holders to petition close family members to help with permanent residency, but it does allow those protected under DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) to obtain citizenship if they remain in good standing.

Wouldn't put it past the Ruskies to do such a thing. Russians tried to hack the servers I administered every day. My solution would be to firewall all Russian IP addresses...Chinese too while you're at it.

A joke I've learned in summer camp (in SovU) 50 years ago. A coach has to partition a group of boys between a football and an American "football" teams. He takes them to a forest and tells them to run - these who dodge between the trees go for the football team.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
So says Maxine Waters, esteemed certifiable Congresswoman from California, who told MSNBC, the only network whose viewers are gullible enough to believe her, that the President’s tweets denouncing anthem protests by NFL players amounted to an impeachable offense.
