Arlington Gives Gold Star Families the Run Around Over Trump Speaking Until Mike Johnson Steps In - Becky Noble

One man showed up at the request of the families, his name was Donald Trump.
It seems as though Trump derangement syndrome (TDS) knows no bounds.

From things that can be classified as silly, like former First Lady Melania Trump never appearing on the cover of magazines like Vogue, to the extremely serious, like an assassination attempt.
Closer to the serious end of the scale lands the folks at Arlington National Cemetery and their recent treatment of the 13 Gold Star families of service members killed in the Afghanistan withdrawal at Abbey Gate and the ceremony marking the third anniversary of that incident, with former President Donald Trump attending that ceremony.

Per a Daily Caller exclusive report, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) ultimately ended up intervening so that Trump, who had been invited to attend the ceremony and laid a wreath for the service members, could get into Arlington National Cemetery.

Sensing Online: Should compassion be a basis for public policy?

I recall a story in the Washington Post from the early 1990s, when I lived in northern Virginia, written by a Catholic nun.

It told of a ministry in downtown DC that she was working, offering free lunches to the poor.

When she and her fellow charity workers had started this ministry they had decided not to require means tests of the people who came to eat.
Means tests - requiring the recipients offer evidence they could not afford to pay for the meals - would be degrading, they concluded...
Yet after several weeks the sister had changed her mind.
The soup kitchen initially attracted diners who were clearly homeless, near-indigent or working poor.
But as time went on, she observed the diners were better and better dressed.
They were cleaner, obviously more healthy.
At first, a large number of diners had walked to the kitchen, but now most drove, and as more time passed, older cars parked outside gave way to newer cars, then expensive cars.
The kind of person who first began eating there became rarer and rarer.
The nun concluded that they should have required means testing to protect the poor....

REVEALED: The disturbing truth Kamala Harris does not want you knowing about her reign as border czar * WorldNetDaily * by Andrew Powell:

Vice President Kamala Harris has played a vital role in what is unquestionably the worst border crisis in American history. Over the past four years of the Biden-Harris administration, millions of "undocumented" illegal aliens have poured over the southern border, and this disaster promises to grow much larger if Harris is able to pull out a win over former President Donald Trump in November's election.

Harris’s Tax on Unrealized Gains is Only the Tip of a $5 Trillion Tax Iceberg By Adam N. Michel

Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign recently confirmed that she supports all the nearly $5 trillion in tax increases included in President Biden’s 2025 budget proposal.

Among the long list of tax hikes is a novel proposal to tax the unrealized gains of wealthy Americans...
but the fervor over this one bad idea has distracted from other more wide-reaching and even more economically damaging proposals.
For example, Harris’s 28 percent federal corporate tax rate and 44.6 percent top capital gains and dividend tax rate would give the United States the highest total tax rate on corporate income in the developed world when combined with state taxes.

As I recently explained, workers ultimately bear most of the cost of the corporate income tax through lower wages and fewer job opportunities...

"We have seen parents across the state who are so tired of people, young people, being told to hate their country or not be proud of their country," Walters told 9 News. Walters also stated in an X video that he is "working on guidelines" for school districts in his state to "ensure no student is ever targeted for having an American flag." "We want our young people to be proud of our country. Sounds like a lot of patriotic students at the school, and we want to encourage them to show love for the country."

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis dismisses migrant gang takeover of apartments as ‘imagination’ — despite video, mayor confirming truth - Jennie Taer

On Wednesday night, Fox Denver aired surveillance video that showed an armed gang of men — later confirmed by cops as suspected members of Tren de Aragua — strolling through an apartment complex in Aurora that residents said has been overrun by the gang.
Three of the men could be seen carrying handguns while another held a rifle as they entered the troubled apartment complex, breaking into a unit shortly before a shootout took place at the complex that left one person severely injured...

The Unintended Consequences of Taxing Unrealized Gains

In case you missed it, a $5 trillion tax hike looms over American households and businesses in President Joe Biden’s latest budget proposal, which would include a 25% annual minimum tax on unrealized capital gains for individuals with incomes and assets exceeding $100 million. - Donald Sensing

Spells it out precisely.

I have long noticed that Democrats do "static analysis," meaning that they think, in this example, that they can start taking 25 percent of these gains and except for that, everything continues on as before with no change.
But as we used to say in my military career while planning operations, "The enemy gets a vote," meaning that they will react to, not just accept, what we do on the battlefield.
So the Dems think the wealthy will simply hand over 25 percent of unrealized gains and do nothing else (forever, I guess). But they won't. They will react, not merely accept.

Another LIE: Harris-Walz campaign's deception EXPOSED | Blaze Media:

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has already come under fire for lying about “going to war,” which he did not. Now, he’s once again been caught lying — and his integrity is looking thin to nonexistent.

When he launched his campaign for U.S. Congress in 2006, Walz had boasted in his public biography that he was named the Outstanding Young Nebraskan by the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce.
