They just want the money

Washington Post editorial: "Mark Cuban bests Ro Khanna on wealth taxes - The congressman has a peculiar solution for taxing start-up founders."

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-California) supports his state’s billionaire tax proposal on the ballot in November. Texas businessman Mark Cuban had a question: What about founders of promising start-ups who are billionaires only on paper?

Khanna’s solution was revealing. Hint: It would create another tool for government control.

You would think that when faced with such a glaring flaw to your cash-grab scheme, you would at least pause to consider whether it's a good or workable idea in the first place.  But the Democrats want - they need - that sweet billionaire money so they need to dream up a new angle.  So the big brain idea is to allow paper billionaires to borrow against the government putting their future stock windfall up as collateral.  Sheer insanity.

Today’s advocates of wealth taxation have offered a series of bad explanations for how the foreseeable problems would be addressed. Khanna’s is only the latest. If your tax requires the government to start giving out special loans to pay itself, maybe it’s not a good tax in the first place.

Right now early polling is showing the billionaire tax would pass which doesn't surprise me because people love it when taxes are paid by "other people."  Especially those Richie Riches.

WNBA in a box canyon

Bravo Blue: "Rules for Radicals? Whither the WNBA? - Sophie's choice -- Honesty and candor over cowardice"

The WNBA has graced us with the latest manifestation of far-left lunacy and penchant for self-destruction. For any who may not yet be in the know, in one fell swoop two former NBA players have shined a 1,000,000+ lumens spotlight on the conundrum that exposes the hypocrisy of the deranged leftists who pollute the WNBA. They accomplished this by following the left’s bible, Saul Alinski’s Rules for Radicals. Rule 4 provides: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”

The WNBA bigwigs recently had a meeting to answer the question "what is a woman?" and came out with an equivocal press statement saying they were still searching for an answer.  This was a dilatory tactic and they are currently hoping the whole issues just goes away.

Spoiler alert: it's not going away.  The reason why is that too many people are invested in the drama of the pretzel logic.  There's no way out: either you allow biological men into the WNBA or you don't.  Watching them squirm over that simple proposition is just too much fun.

I beg to differ

Washington Post: "The Jason Arday scandal isn’t as simple as DEI gone wrong - This isn’t the first time a university has dug in to protect an obviously flawed professor."

The author of this article starts with the premise that, since other universities protect their faculty, it's not really DEI at work in the Arday scandal.  Yeah, you go with that.  When universities put out glowing press releases about how they've hired the first Native American professor, you know DEI is at work.

Hot Air: "Hasan Piker Says It Out Loud: DSA Practicing Taqiyya." 

This is the communist equivalent of Taqiyya, the Shia Muslim practice of lying to non-Muslims in order to gain dominance. 

Taqiyya is not an invention of "Islamophobes." It is a literal doctrine practiced by many Islamists. It is how the 9/11 hijackers hid in plain sight and how terrorist cells try to blend in. You can shave your beards, drink alcohol, go to strip clubs, and become a dissolute Westerner as long as you are willing to kill for Allah.

I confess I'd never heard of Taqiyya until now.

Pens & Poison: "How Columbia University Made Me a Conservative - The lesson I never expected to learn from an Ivy League education.  (Hat tip: Maggie's Farm)

Yet on Wednesday, November 9th, 2016, walking into an exam for my Abnormal Psychology lecture at Barnard, Columbia’s all-girls sister school, I was surprised to find that the morning’s most abnormal behavior patterns were not nestled in the exam questions but plastered on the faces of my classmates, many of whom burst into the classroom bawling, insisting that they were unable to sit for the exam because of the election results.

The professor acquiesced and moved the exam to the following week.

I was rightfully taken aback. What were these girls even crying over? No one had died. Barack Obama would still be president for the next several months. We would have a dullard for a president for the next four years, sure, but did these girls really think that they—members of the privileged elite whose parents were paying $80,000 per year for them to attend one of the best universities in the world—would be personally affected by the reign of Donald Trump?

What was more astonishing was that my classmates—girls who supposedly represented the apex of female empowerment—did not at all embody the feminist strength that my grandmother once taught me.

When victimhood is the coin of the realm, everybody wants to be oppressed.  This country is jam-packed with AWFLs who are traumatized by a ballroom.

These people are so dumb

Twitchy: "Democracy Dimwit: DSA Co-Chair Cannot Explain What ‘Taxing the Hell Out of Millionaires’ Means."

I would say it's because - like Mayor Mamdani - they've never been challenged in their lives.  For example, look at Mamdani's ridiculous back-and-forth when asked if his new supermarkets will require an I.D.

Extra - NY Post: "Mamdani is ‘thin-skinned and hyper-sensitive’ in private despite unflappable social media image: political sources." 

Plot twist: it's a woman

PJ Media: "Talarico Confirms Inappropriate Relationship With Staffer."

It's his current girlfriend but the relationship started when she was a staffer in Talarico's office.  I've been reliably told that this kind of power dynamic is the definition of the #MeToo movement.

Exodus

Hot Air: "Jews Are Moving From Blue States to Red Ones."

If you want to understand why, here's Bernie Sanders on "Meet the Press" this past Sunday:

KRISTEN WELKER:

Okay, and I want to follow up on what you — you just said. Dr. El-Sayed has made Israel a central issue in his primary. He said he, quote, “often struggles with the question of whether Israel has the right to exist as a Jewish state.” In the past, Senator, you have been quite clear that you do support Israel as a Jewish state. Should Dr. El-Sayed speak with the same clarity?

SEN. BERNIE SANDERS:

Look, I think right now the immediate issue of the moment is whether or not we continue to put tens of billions of dollars into the extremist Netanyahu government, which has killed 75,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, wounded 150,000, destroyed their infrastructure. And what the American people are saying overwhelmingly, Democrats, many independents — the majority of independents, and many Republicans, especially younger Republicans, “We’ve got better things to do with our money than to continue to fund the military of Israel.”

So the answer to the question as to whether DSA candidates should "speak with the same clarity" is "no."  Never answer the question directly and without equivocation or the antisemitism at the heart of the modern Democrat party might be revealed.

Flashback - "Shapiro says Harris aides asked if he was Israeli agent."  Remember that one?

Here we go again

I think this is attempt #5: "CA Man Arrested at Trump National Golf Club Was Armed to the Teeth." - "A man in California was arrested for watching the security setup at Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes. The president plans to visit the site later. The suspect was identified as Jeanine John Taele, 38, who was later found to have body armor, an illegally modified AR-15 rifle, ammunition, and a notebook with suspicious statements at his home."

Officials admit they have no idea how many illegals are enrolled to vote -- but they're totally sure it's not a problem and never effects any elections, not a single bingle one.

"Affects," Ace, "affects."

Governor Mikie told us that this mistake was discovered two years ago but, gosh!, we have no idea why the previous administration didn't do anything.  Yeah, it's a mystery.

Mamdani to starve married women

Irony can be pretty ironic: "Mamdani: You Need Voter, er, Eater ID to Buy Groceries at Commie Basket!"

The mayor's new supermarkets will require ID to keep our non-Big Apple residents.  What if you're a married woman who can't get an ID with your new name?  Drop dead.

By the way, whatever happened to the Oxford Union, once held up as the premier debating society in the entire world?  It has devolved into woke shouting match of juveniles who are easily debunked. 

I really don't think "You're lucky we've got paid security to prevent you being murdered by Islamists for speaking at the world's oldest and most prestigious bastion of free expression" is quite the pro-immigration flex you think it is, love. https://t.co/Kg1wuq1Hgj

Peggy Noonan: "Anthony Fauci Unmasks Himself - His diaries make clear that he saw the pandemic less as a historic emergency than a media opportunity."

As has been reported, it isn’t about witnessing or capturing the size and scale of a crisis, or feeling shock or anxiety. It is about other things.

On Jan. 6, 2020, he goes to a “Super A list” party. At a meeting later that month, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi hugs and kisses him and tells everyone “how great I am.” At another, President Trump tells Dr. Fauci, “Lou Dobbs . . . told me that you were one of the smartest, knowledgeable and outstanding persons he knows.” Dr. Fauci was “very pleased,” others “stunned and impressed.”

Jan. 30: “All my friends kept saying I was a national hero” and that they “ ‘felt safe in my arms.’ ”

March 8: “Nice profiles of me in Politico and NY Times today.”

March 15: “I did all 5 Sunday Shows today (my 3rd ‘Fauci 5’).” Apparently this is his version of “the full Ginsburg,” named for Monica Lewinsky’s attorney, William Ginsburg, when he did five Sunday shows in one morning.

March 26: “Donuts are being named after me; T shirts have my picture on them.”

It goes on.  The media created this monster.
