"Don't Touch Kids You Pervert!": Biden Middle School Gymnasium Rally Melts Down Into Chaos

 

A Joe Biden event on Sunday at a New Hampshire Middle School gymnasium was interrupted by two protesters, who assailed 'quid pro Joe' with accusations of being a 'pervert' and making money in Ukraine.

 

"You've touched kids on video, and women," shouted one man, adding "We don't need another old white man running for president - time to have a minority candidate," to which Biden - who likely didn't hear the guy, said "I agree with ya man. I agree. Nice talkin' with you."

 

"You don't touch kids ever again, the man continued. "Don't touch kids, you pervert!" he continued, to which Biden shook his head.

 

"Look it up," the man told the gasping crowd. "Don't lie to them, 'creepy uncle biden,' look it up!"

 

The man was led out to a smattering of half-hearted applause from the less than energized crowd.

 

At another point, another man in the back shouts at Biden, "Excuse me mister Biden. How much money did you make in Ukraine?" to which (after an angry New Hampshire Democrat shouted to the protester "Is that all you got pal?") Biden shot back "Wait, wait, wait, wait wait. I released 21 years of my tax returns. Your guy hasn't released one, what's he hiding?"

Pelosi’s Son Paul Jr. Was Paid Thousands By Same Firm That Paid the Clintons Millions!

 

Not only did Paul Pelosi Jr. get paid thousands for a no-show job which he wasn’t qualified in an effort to buy influence with his politician parent. The same company that paid him is connected to the Clintons as well.

 

We reported yesterday that Nancy Pelosi’s son Paul is also on the board of an energy company.

Paul Pelosi Jr. also traveled to Ukraine for his work.

 

AND — Better Yet — Speaker Nancy Pelosi even appears in the company’s video ad!

According to Patrick Howley at National File Speaker Pelosi’s son Paul Jr. was an executive at Viscoil.

 

Paul Jr. traveled to Ukraine in 2017.

 

Shortly after his mother Nancy Pelosi became the first woman speaker, Paul Pelosi Jr., was hired by InfoUSA for $180,000 a year as its vice president for Strategic Planning in 2007.

 

Pelosi kept his other full-time day job as a mortgage loan officer for Countrywide Loans in California. And, unlike all of the other InfoUSA employees, Paul Pelosi did not report to work at the company’s headquarters in Omaha.

 

It must be nice being the spawn of a powerful Democrat politician.

 

Newsmax reported on Paul Pelosi’s shady dealings in 2007:

 

The firm InfoUSA, headed by major Clinton backer Vinod Gupta, has placed Pelosi’s son, Paul Pelosi Jr., on its payroll – even though he has no experience in the company’s main business activities, NewsMax has learned.

 

As NewsMax previously reported, InfoUSA repeatedly rented marketing databases to unscrupulous persons who used the information to defraud the unsuspecting elderly, investigators found.

 

The company is also under fire in a shareholder lawsuit which alleges that Gupta is appropriating company funds for personal use and his political pet projects.

 

Shareholder critics are furious that Gupta had InfoUsa pay former President Bill Clinton $2.1 million in “consulting fees” since he left the White House, with another $1.2 million promised.

 

Pelosi’s son Paul acknowledged he has also been taking trips on corporate jets provided by Info USA.

 

Just four weeks after Nancy Pelosi became speaker of the House this past January, Gupta and InfoUSA hired her son as a senior vice president. He told NewsMax InfoUsa pays him $180,000 a year.

 

Even though his job with InfoUSA is considered full-time, Paul Pelosi continues another full-time job, as a home loan officer at Countrywide Home Loans, part of Countrywide Financial, in San Mateo, a suburb of San Francisco.

 

While InfoUSA is based in Omaha, Pelosi said he reports to a small InfoUSA office in San Mateo.

 

In two interviews, Paul Pelosi confirmed that Gupta hired him as senior vice president for strategic development starting Feb. 1, just after Pelosi’s mother took the gavel as speaker on Jan. 4. He said his mother is aware of his new job.

 

A person familiar with the arrangement says Gupta treats Pelosi as a “trophy” and has the Speaker’s son accompany him at high profile meetings around the country.

 

Pelosi denied the suggestion he is being used because of his family ties.

 

“I don’t think that’s really what happens,” he said.

Bolivia expels Mexico ambassador in Morales asylum row, while Mexico instructs her to return home for her own safety

 

Bolivia’s interim government has said it is expelling the Mexican ambassador and two Spanish diplomats. Meanwhile, the Mexican government says it has recalled its ambassador for her own safety.

 

Speaking at a press conference in La Paz on Monday, interim president Jeanine Anez announced that Mexican ambassador Maria Teresa Mercado, along with two Spanish diplomatic personnel, have been given 72 hours to leave Bolivia. Following Anez’ decision, Mexico’s foreign ministry said it has instructed Mercado to return to Mexico to ensure her safety.

 

Bolivia and Mexico have been embroiled in a diplomatic feud ever since the Mexican government granted asylum to ousted Bolivian leader Evo Morales last month. Since then, Mexico has accused Bolivian authorities of “harassing” its diplomatic facilities, and surrounding its embassy with police and intelligence agents. Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said on Thursday that his government would take Bolivia to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over the “police and military siege” of its embassy.

 

Spain became involved in the spat on Friday, when Bolivian authorities stopped a number of Spanish diplomats from entering Mercado’s residence in La Paz. The Bolivian government claimed that the Spanish diplomats’ security detail were armed and masked, and were attempting to free associates of Morales who have been sheltering inside.

 

These nine associates include Juan Ramon Quintana, a former aide to Morales who has been accused by Anez’ government of sedition, criminal instigation and terrorist financing. Mexico has granted asylum to the nine, but all remain in the ambassador’s residence.

 

Madrid outright denied that its diplomats were entering the residence to free Quintana and his associates. Instead, the Spanish government described the visit as routine, and said it would investigate the incident further.

 

As the squabble between Mexico and Bolivia continues, Morales has moved to Argentina, where he has been granted political asylum by newly-elected President Alberto Fernandez. Initially fleeing Bolivia after losing the support of his police and generals in what he calls a “coup,” Morales has vowed to lead his socialist party to electoral success from abroad, and to return to Bolivia within a year.

Tax Man Cometh With Hidden Tax Increases for 2020

 

Millions of Americans pay more to Uncle Sam than they would if some key tax numbers were indexed for inflation.

 

For obvious reasons, Congress does not want people to know about the Creeping Tax Increases for 2020.

 

Millions of Americans are paying more to Uncle Sam because there’s no indexing for a variety of tax provisions, including homeowner benefits, tax thresholds on Social Security and investment benchmarks among others. The 2017 tax overhaul added more to this list.

 

The lack of an inflation adjustment is often intentional, says Len Burman, a tax economist who is a professor at Syracuse University and co-founder of the Tax Policy Center.

 

Home Ownership: Once, home buyers could deduct the interest on any amount of mortgage debt. In 1987, Congress limited this break to deductions on up to $1 million of debt used to buy up to two homes, unindexed for inflation. If this limit had been adjusted, it would have been more than $2 million by 2017’s tax overhaul.

In 2017 Instead of adjusting the home ownership limit upward, the overhaul pared it to $750,000, again unindexed for inflation.

State and Local Tax Writeoffs: Lawmakers capped write-offs for state and local property and income or sales taxes, or SALT, at $10,000 per return, with no inflation adjustment.

Profit on a Sale of a Home: A popular exemption of up to $500,000 per married couple of profit on the sale of a house ($250,000 for single filers) enacted in 1997 also isn’t adjusted for inflation.

Social Security: The income thresholds for including Social Security payments in taxable income haven’t changed since they were enacted in the ‘80s and ‘90s. The income thresholds requiring filers to report 85% of payments on their tax return have been $44,000 for married couples and $34,000 for singles since 1994. They would be about $77,000 for couples and $60,000 for singles in 2020.

Capital Losses: Since 1978, the tax code has allowed investors to deduct only $3,000 of net long-term investment losses against ordinary income like wages. Adjusted for inflation, that deduction would be more than $12,000.

Marriage Penalty: The $3,000 deduction applies to both single and married filers. To fix that, the threshold should arguably be $12,000 for individuals and $24,000 for married filers.

 

Who Benefits From Inflation?

 

In case you were wondering who benefits from inflation, here's the answer once again:

 

The asset holders, those with first access to money, and governments.

"Beijing Accepts The Invitation": Liu He Coming To America For "Phase One" Deal Signing On Saturday

 

The Phase One trade deal which was "concluded" on Oct 11 may finally be getting signed. According to SCMP, China's Vice-Premier Liu He and chief trade negotiator will lead a delegation to Washington on Saturday, where he is expected to sign the phase one deal that will roll back some current tariffs in exchange for a "best effort" by Beijing to import more US ag products.

 

"Washington has sent an invitation and Beijing has accepted it,” said the anonymous SCMP source, who added that the Chinese delegation is expected to stay “a few days” in the US until the middle of next week, even though neither side has officially confirmed the trip yet.

 

The signing of a phase one deal during Liu’s trip would mark a point of truce in the bitter trade war between the world’s two biggest economies, one that is expected to boost global markets and brighten increasingly gloomy outlooks for economic growth. That said, it was back in May when trade talks collapsed just hours before the signing ceremony was set to take place, so one never knows…

 

President Trump said before Christmas that he would “ultimately” have a signing ceremony with President Xi Jinping. "We will be having a signing ceremony, yes,” Trump told reporters. “We will ultimately, yes, when we get together,” he told reporters in Florida.

 

US trade representative Robert Lighthizer said on December 13 that officials from both countries would sign the phase one trade deal "in the first week of January" and it now appears that will be the first weekend of the year, although the Chinese side has never confirmed the date of the signing, and there is appears to be no indication that Trump and Xi will meet in the coming weeks.

 

Meanwhile, as SCMP also reports, Cui Tiankai, China’s ambassador to the United States, said in an interview with state broadcaster CGTN last weekend that Beijing will live up to its trade deal commitments. “I think we have full confidence in our negotiators. So let the two teams do their job,” Cui said. “And still they are under the guidance of the two presidents.”

 

China and the US announced an interim deal on December 13 after more than a dozen rounds of on-off negotiations. The development led to both sides cancelling planned new tariffs due to come into effect on December 15. The US also reduced one batch of existing tariffs from 15 per cent to 7.5 per cent.

 

It is thought that as part of the agreement, China will make a huge purchase of US farm goods, as well as significant purchases of other American products.

 

China has remained tight-lipped on the details, with state media only confirming that a deal had been agreed in principle, but that the text needed to be translated, proofread and legally scrubbed. Meanwhile, the Office of the USTR released a comprehensive fact-sheet outlining what it claimed to be in the deal. Lighthizer also took to US airwaves – in a rare media appearance – to discuss the contents of the phase one agreement.

 

Lighthizer added, in his interview with CBS, that as part of this, China agreed to buy US$80 billion in agricultural products over two years. Both figures – astronomical in terms of previous US-China bilateral trading numbers – led to a deluge of economists trying to establish whether the numbers add up. Unfortunately, as we showed before, they do not.

Plane carrying Kansas basketball team forced to make emergency landing after engine SPITS FIRE (VIDEO)

 

A Swift Air 737 passenger jet was forced to make an emergency landing after one of its engines malfunctioned and began spitting fire, as terrifying eyewitness video taken on board shows.

 

The plane was forced to turn around 20 minutes into its flight, having just departed Mineta San Jose International Airport on Sunday. The University of Kansas Jayhawks men’s basketball team was on board and their senior associate athletic director, Ryan White, shared shocking video of one of the plane’s engines belching blazing fire.

 

Thankfully, the plane landed safely at approximately 5:30pm local time back in San Jose where it was met by emergency fire crews on the tarmac. The plane taxied to the terminal under its own power and there were no injuries reported.

 

We are grateful to the pilots and the entire flight crew of Swift Air. We will stay the night in San Jose and return to Lawrence once the plans have been finalized,” the Kansas University team, ranked in the top five in the US, wrote in a statement.
