Greedy ba$tard$!!!-----Michigan Cities Want To Collect Income Tax From Nonresidents Working At Home
Michigan Cities Want To Collect Income Tax From Nonresidents Working At Home
"Some local governments in Michigan could see a decline in their income tax collections as thousands of employees who normally work within their jurisdictions instead work from homes, located elsewhere, during the coronavirus pandemic.
Under current law, those individuals’ income is not subject to a local income tax.
The Michigan Municipal League (MML) wants a temporary change to that law, given estimates that the 24 municipalities with local income taxes will collect up to $160 million less in the current fiscal year due to the surge in remote work.
The league wants legislators to amend the local income tax law to let cities collect from nonresidents who ordinarily work within their boundaries but now work from homes outside the city.
The proposal is part of a package of several tax measures announced by the local government lobbying group (MML) at a news conference...Read all.

Chinese Sociologist: China Will Drive America to Its Death - Louder With Crowder:
I want you to think back to the beginning of 2020. All the virtue-signaling over calling COVID the "China virus." Since, like, the virus came from China and all that. Here's a refresher. Our president-elect (humor me) even attacked the sitting president for being too mean to the Chicoms. I want you to remember it all. Then watch this speech from a Chinese sociologist. One who brags that China is driving America to our death. And then he gets offensive.

You have all experienced this, in what I call the Murray Gell-Mann Amnesia effect...
- Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect works as follows.
You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well.
In mine, show business.
You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues.
Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward-reversing cause and effect.
I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories.
Paper’s full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story-and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read with renewed interest as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about far-off Palestine than it was about the story you just read.

That is the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect.

I’d point out it does not operate in other arenas of life.
In ordinary life, if somebody consistently exaggerates or lies to you, you soon discount everything they say.
In court, there is the legal doctrine of falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus, which means untruthful in one part, untruthful in all.
But when it comes to the media, we believe against evidence that it is probably worth our time to read other parts of the paper.

A new analysis of the 2020 death statistics in the United States has revealed that despite the panic over COVID-19, the total number of deaths in all age groups — including the elderly — showed no change before or after the arrival of the virus.
This bears repeating, in bold and italics: There have been no excess deaths in 2020.
Surprisingly, the deaths of older people stayed the same before and after COVID-19.

A new analysis of the 2020 death statistics in the United States has revealed that despite the panic over COVID-19, the total number of deaths in all age groups — including the elderly — showed no change before or after the arrival of the virus.
This bears repeating, in bold and italics: There have been no excess deaths in 2020.
Surprisingly, the deaths of older people stayed the same before and after COVID-19.
Since COVID-19 mainly affects the elderly, experts expected an increase in the percentage of deaths in older age groups.
However, this increase is not seen from the CDC data.
In fact, the percentages of deaths among all age groups remain relatively the same.
“The reason we have a higher number of reported COVID-19 deaths among older individuals than younger individuals is simply because every day in the U.S. older individuals die in higher numbers than younger individuals,” Briand said.
Briand also noted that 50,000 to 70,000 deaths are seen both before and after COVID-19, indicating that this number of deaths was normal long before COVID-19 emerged.

Bobby Piton, an investment adviser and managing partner at Pre-Active Investments, LLC, was suspended by Twitter on the same day he testified that as many as 306,000 "fake people" voted in the Arizona election.

A spokesperson for Twitter told TheBlaze Piton's account "was permanently suspended for violating Twitter Rules on Platform Manipulation and Spam." The spokesperson did not say which specific rules Piton violated. TheBlaze has asked for clarification.

"Walter Williams loved teaching.
Unlike too many other teachers today, he made it a point never to impose his opinions on his students. Those who read his syndicated newspaper columns know that he expressed his opinions boldly and unequivocally there.
But not in the classroom.
Walter once said he hoped that, on the day he died, he would have taught a class that day.
And that is just the way it was, when he died on Wednesday, December 2, 2020.

What it found was an utter disgrace.
- In 19 of Baltimore’s 39 high schools, out of 3,804 students, only 14 of them, or less than 1%, were proficient in math.
- In 13 of Baltimore’s high schools, not a single student scored proficient in math.

- The Detroit Public Schools Community District scored the lowest in the nation compared to 26 other urban districts for reading and mathematics at the fourth- and eighth-grade levels.

World Economic Forum Encourages Plebs To Eat Weeds & Drink Sewage | Zero Hedge
"The World Economic Forum published two articles on its website which explored how people could be conditioned to get used to the idea of eating weeds, bugs and drinking sewage water in order to reduce CO2 emissions.
Yes, really.
“Finding new plant-based foods is becoming increasingly urgent with the world’s population forecast to grow by two billion in the next 30 years,” states an article authored by Douglas Broom published on the official WEF website
“While farming animals for meat generates 14.5% of total global greenhouse emissions, weeds capture carbon from the atmosphere and can therefore help to control climate change.”
According to Broom, “Weeds can be nutritious and tasty” and are easy to grow.
The article fails to explain why weeds such as dandelion leaves, given that they are so ubiquitous, haven’t been made a staple of western diets already.
“The next time a panhandler approaches your car at a stoplight, point to the tasty and nutritious weeds sprouting up through cracks in the pavement and tell him, “Bon appétit!” writes Dave Blount.
A separate article also published on the WEF website investigates how people can be conditioned to enjoy consuming ‘food’ which on the surface sounds disgusting...Read all.

Report: Democrats face voter fraud allegations after ballot review by Dem judge erased Republican lead - TheBlaze:
Democrats are reportedly facing voter fraud accusations in an extremely tight New York congressional race that resulted in a Republican candidate having her lead over a Democratic incumbent completely erased, the Washington Examiner reported. What are the details?
On election night, freshman Democratic Rep. Anthony Brindisi (N.Y.) trailed Republican challenger Claudia Tenney by over 28,000 votes. Then, as mail-in ballots were counted over the coming weeks, Brindisi's deficit was erased, and he trailed Tenney by just 100-200 votes, the Examiner noted.
