Kamala Harris's New Arab Outreach Director Said 'Zionists' Are 'Controlling' American Politics
Brenda Abdelall comments came at a convention featuring prominent anti-Semite Cynthia McKinney
Kamala Harris's newly appointed head of Arab-American outreach once accused Zionists of "controlling" American politics, echoing an anti-Semitic trope that suggests Jews nefariously manipulate global affairs.
"The Zionists have a strong voice in American politics," Brenda Abdelall, an Egyptian-American lawyer and former Department of Homeland Security official, said in a 2002 interview with the New York Sun while attending the American Muslim Council's annual convention. "I would say they're controlling a lot of it."
Abdelall, whom Harris tapped earlier this week to help galvanize Arab voters, made the remarks after a speaker at the event, anti-Israel professor Jamil Fayez, said that "Zionists are destroying America." Responding to his remarks, Abdelall said that while "'destroying' is a harsh word," supporters of the Jewish state do control American politics. …

Kamala Harris Plan To Tax Unrealized Capital Gain Is Scary, Here’s Why
As a presidential candidate, Vice President Harris has piggybacked on many of President Biden’s tax plans, including his pledge not to raise taxes on anyone making under $400,000 a year. But she has plenty of other big plans for your taxes listed here that reprise Biden’s tax goals, with some of her own ideas thrown in.
They include raising top marginal rates on the top earners from 37% to 39.6%. In 2019, she floated a 4% “income-based premium” on households making more than $100,000 to pay for Medicare for All, but this has not yet resurfaced in 2024. Among the more controversial of the Biden proposals—which Harris has repeated—is a tax on unrealized capital gains for taxpayers with wealth greater than $100 million. It may be labeled a “billionaire tax,” though $100 million is a tenth of a billion.
Even so, few may want to defend billionaires (or someone with a mere $100 million for that matter) in the current climate. Some argue this fairly targets extremely wealthy Americans who have taken advantage of tax rules to pay lower rates than their secretaries. For example, wealthy people can tap their resources by borrowing money rather than selling something that would trigger tax. Some attack the proposal as a wealth tax that will chill investments of capital.
Unlike an income tax, Harris’ new wealth tax would work like this. Households worth more than $100 million would pay an annual minimum tax worth 25% of their combined income and unrealized capital gains. Say you purchase stock for $10 a share. It doubles to $20 in the first year, but you still hold it. Even though you haven’t sold it, that $10 gain would be subject to the new tax.
Real estate would work the same way. You buy a house, building, or land. The increase in value over time would be taxed every year, even though you still hold it. We have never had a tax on gains that are not “realized,” meaning sold. In that sense, this new tax would be groundbreaking, a point we’ll come back to.
Apart from policy, there are administrative issues galore. How do you go about valuing everything every year to be taxed? Public company stock would be straightforward. But most assets could be a nightmare, and who in the end gets to carry the day on value? Disputes about value in tax cases are legendary and voluminous. Nearly every estate tax case with the IRS includes valuation disputes, often with competing experts. In income tax cases, charitable contributions of noncash assets such as real estate or crypto often also end up in major valuation fights.
Just imagine what annual value statements with tax returns might look like, in a world where the increase in value since last year turns into taxes. Capital gains have always been singled out for lower taxes, not higher. And except in the case of estate tax measured on death, it has been nearly sacred not to tax “earnings” you didn’t receive.
Besides, what if value spikes one year, you pay tax, and then it plummets the next year? You still have the now worthless asset and can’t sell it for much. So why the unheard-of shift to tax something before its time?
What is arguably the scariest part of this idea? What if this opens the door to a more generalized effort by the government to tax you on something that you still own? Right now the proposal is only to use this wealth tax for the truly wealthy. Not just billionaires, but also anyone with at least $100 million.
Once we start down this path, could we some years from now face a tax like this for someone with $20 million, $10 million, even $1 million? You get the idea. Even if the “billionaire’s tax” to hit anyone at $100 million passes, there could be court challenges based on what the U.S. Constitution says about the government’s taxing power. The Supreme Court has not fully ruled on a question like this, although one recent guidepost came in a 2024 tax case, Moore vs. USA, in which the Supreme Court upheld a tax on undistributed foreign assets.
The chances of this wealth tax passing may not be high. Harris would need to win, and both the Senate and House would need to be controlled by Democrats. In any event, this proposal could signal the dawn of new taxes and more coming. You can read more about Harris’ big plans for your taxes.

Official Dem Platform Backs Plan To Give Amnesty to Already-Deported Aliens
Roughly 1.5 million illegal immigrants were deported by the Trump administration
The Democratic National Committee endorsed a plan that would offer amnesty to illegal aliens who were deported under former president Donald Trump and invite them back to the United States.
The official Democratic Party platform supports the passage of the U.S. Citizenship Act, a bill that was sent to Congress by the Biden-Harris administration on January 20, 2021. That bill would create a sweeping amnesty process for the millions of illegal aliens currently residing in the country. But a provision also allows those who were "removed from or who departed the United States on or after January 20, 2017" if they resided in the country for three years prior to apply for amnesty as well. …

Pro-Trump police association hits Harris over 2020 remarks about systemic racism and policing
A police organization that's backing Trump criticized Harris today over her remarks at a 2020 Senate hearing at which she linked slavery, Jim Crow and policing in describing systemic racism in America.
“When we say that America has a history of systemic racism, we mean that from slavery, Jim Crow laws, lynchings and policing, our institutions have done violence to Black Americans,” Harris said at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on policing not long after a police officer murdered George Floyd in Minneapolis.
Harris later posted her remarks online but changed “policing” to “the criminal justice system.”
“We call on her to retract and apologize for her comments equating policing to lynching and slavery,” Michael McHale, president of the National Association of Police Organizations, said in a statement. “Far from being today’s cruel slavers, the men and women of America’s police agencies are the single biggest force for public safety, freedom, and liberty in our nation.”

Kamala Harris shows true lefty colors in CNN interview, admits her ‘values have not changed’ despite major policy flip-flops
Vice President Kamala Harris showed her true colors Thursday in her first TV interview since becoming the Democratic nominee — admitting her lefty “values have not changed” even though her positions on major policies have.
In a sit-down with CNN, Harris, 59, defended various backtracks when asked if voters can know what they’re getting — as Republicans question the sincerity of her pivots to the political center on immigration, health care and energy policy ahead of the Nov. 5 election.
“I think the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed,” Harris told Dana Bash …

Police Group to Harris: Apologize for 2020 Comments
A police organization backing former President Donald Trump called on Vice President Kamala Harris to apologize for remarks she made in 2020 linking slavery and Jim Crow to policing.
"Kamala Harris has shown once again that she simply has no actual knowledge of what modern American police officers do, and worse, doesn't seem to even care for the men and women who put their life on the line to protect American communities,” Michael McHale, president of the National Association of Police Organizations, said in a statement.
“We call on her to retract and apologize for her comments equating policing to lynching and slavery. She has yet to explain her support for defunding the police and even worse, her support for the so-called 'Minnesota Freedom Fund' that put persons arrested for violent crimes back on the streets as Minneapolis burned during the George Floyd riots.”
Harris during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on police use of force and community policing said: “When we say that America has a history of systemic racism, we mean that from slavery, Jim Crow laws, lynchings and policing, our institutions have done violence to Black Americans.”
She later posted her remarks online but changed policing to "the criminal justice system."
