Gaetz – Sessions Must Stop Being
A DOJ Spectator – Mueller Put Up or Shut Up
{rickwells.us} ~ Rep Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who sits on the House Judiciary Committee, is not satisfied with a private grilling of the absent-minded “Criminal McCabe”... in closed door testimony before the House Intel Committee. Gaetz tells Fox News, “The senior levels of the FBI have been infected with an intractable bias that seem to favor liar-Hillary Clinton and work against President Donald Trump. Andrew McCabe gave testimony yesterday behind closed doors, but we’re calling for open, sworn testimony under oath so the American people can see the truth about what is going on.” Gaetz understands the impact of Americans witnessing firsthand when McCabe lies about not being able to remember critical incriminating information about events that he was directly involved in. We need to see just what a snake in the grass traitor he is to this nation... https://rickwells.us/gaetz-sessions-doj-mueller/.
CNN’s John King: GOP Tax Bill
Giving ‘Damn Good Money’ To Working Class 
{dailycaller.com} ~ CNN host John King noted Wednesday that the Republican tax bill is giving “damn good money”... to working families living paycheck to paycheck. “The Republicans are making a big bet, taking a big risk. Will over time the American people say ‘oh, I like having more money in my pocket.’ That’s their big bet,” King said. “Not one Democrat has voted for a bill that cuts taxes by $1.5 trillion. To Abby’s point, if you’re a working class family, some people say oh, it’s only $200, $300 — if you’re living paycheck to paycheck, that’s damn good money and you are grateful for it.”... http://dailycaller.com/2017/12/20/cnns-john-king-gop-tax-bill-giving-damn-good-money-to-working-class-video/?utm_medium=emailVIDEO at the site.

THE REAL RUSSIAN COLLUSION
by LT. GEN. ION MIHAI PACEPA
{wnd.com} ~ The historic election of a capitalist entrepreneur, Donald Trump, as U.S. president conclusively proved that the great American middle class... wanted to free itself from the claws of former president Barack liar-nObama’s Marxism – now re-baptized “progressivism” – and likewise from his ruinous flirtation with the alien god of Kremlinist autocracy. liar-nObama left us with a wide array of frightening threats, from a raving, nuclear-armed North Korean tyrant to a catastrophic Soviet-style national debt of almost $20 trillion. Unfortunately, our leftist media – ignoring America’s decades-long war against the ruinous Marxist concept that governments, not the people, own their countries – seem ready to ignite a new American civil war. A war over an alien system – Marxist progressivism – that in a different time and place dispossessed a third of the world’s population of its properties, killed tens of millions, made itself a religion and its leader the only god allowed... ttp://www.wnd.com/2017/12/the-real-russian-collusion/.

FBI Deputy McCABE Develops
AMNESIA During Congressional Grilling
{rickwells.us} ~ Andrew McCabe, the Deputy Director of the FBI and subversive anti-American agent who managed with liar-Clinton protection and cover up... testified before the House Intelligence Committee for seven and a half hours on Tuesday. That’s a lot of time for a single witness to be grilled, and a lot of time to attempt to evade answering some very direct and damning questions about his sedition against our President and abuse of power. As was to be expected, Fox News reports that there were numerous conflicts between the testimony given by McCabe and other witnesses who have been questioned previously. Now those witnesses will be called back to clarify and help to identify just who’s lying about what. Fresh subpoenas will be issued next week compelling DOJ and FBI personnel to appear...AMNESIA just like liar-Hillary. https://rickwells.us/fbi-mccabe-amnesia-grilling/.

Taxes and the Vindictive Nature of the Left
by Political Editors: Democrats and the Leftmedia often accuse conservatives and Republicans of being interested only in catering to the interests of the wealthy. They, on the other hand, claim for themselves the mantel of defenders of the interests of the poor and working class. No more has this false assertion been more evident than in recent weeks as the GOP has worked to bring about significant tax reform that benefits the vast majority of Americans. With Republicans on the brink of enacting the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (pending a re-vote in the House over rule tweaks), The Washington Post published an article labeling the plan as “more regressive than current law.” After admitting that the GOP tax bill will indeed lower taxes for 95% of Americans, the Post proceeds to explain why this is a bad thing. Referencing the leftist Tax Policy Center as if it were an unbiased, nonpartisan organization, the Post argues that the tax bill is unfair because the wealthy would receive the most in tax relief. Talk about a vindictive perspective. Evidently, the Post would prefer that no one get tax relief if the wealthy should in any way benefit. Sticking it to the rich is of greater importance than supporting tax cuts for all Americans, as well as spurring economic growth.
According to the Post, “In 2018, taxpayers earning less than $25,000 would receive an average tax cut of $60. … Those earning between $49,000 and $86,000 would get an average cut of about $900; those earning between $308,000 and $733,000 would receive an average cut of $13,500; and those earning more than $733,000 would receive an average cut of $51,000.” A mere $60 cut does seem rather paltry compared to $51,000. But most taxpayers earning less than $25,000 don’t actually pay income taxes. So how are they supposed to get a “cut”? And “those earning more than $733,000” includes people making multiple millions per year. Thus the “average cut of $51,000” seems more understandable.
Indeed, as Veronique de Rugy writes, “Over 70 percent of the tax is paid by the top 10 percent of earners. That means any reform of the income tax is probably going to affect them the most.” And yet after the bill becomes law, the top 10% will pay even more of the overall burden.
Still, the Post then quotes TPC director Mark Mazur, who states, “Overall, the conference agreement is more regressive than current law.” Notice the use of the loaded term “regressive.” It implies that Republicans are seeking to move backwards and undo “progress.” Because progress to the Left is moving away from individual freedom to an increasingly powerful and controlling governmental authority built on income redistribution. Taxation is one of the primary means by which this power exchange is accomplished.
The reality is not that the Post is worried about the poor and middle class Americans not getting a fair shake; rather it’s the fact that this bill effectively downsizes the government’s claim on other people’s money. This bill limits the government, and that’s what they don’t like.
