So Rachel Maddow made a fool of herself announcing she had Donald Trump’s tax return. Well – one from 2005. Anticipation mounted as her big announcement of the details grew close. Her followers salivated at the thought of Trump paying no taxes while raking in millions and FINALLY, there’s proof. As it turns out in 2005 Trump paid $38 million dollars in Federal taxes – approx 25%.  Of course, this does not count State and local taxes.

Regardless of this, the Left continues to attack Trump’s taxes saying that we still don’t know about his business dealings and of course he likely did a lot of business with Russia.

I could care less how much he paid in taxes. Every one of us tries to pay as little as possible. The hypocrisy of the pro-big government Progressives never ceases to amaze me.

As a teenager, there were a ton of guns that came out I just “had to have”.  One I remember was the Feather Enterprises AT-22. It was probably and unreliable piece of junk – but it was so “tactical”.

Feather, enterprises, AT-22, rimfire, cabine

    The sad thing is our country will never be the same ever again! This last election was one for the history books! I’m 60 yrs old so I have seen quite a few elections. The left is so upset that there chosen one lost that they still can’t get over it! Trump is not a politician and that drives them nuts. As far as Lynch they need to arrest her! Disgusting for a unemployed AG. The attacks will never end as long as Trump stays in office. So far he is doing fine. It’s only been almost 2 months. Ssshhhhh.

    They need to arrest Lynch but they also need to arrest the America hating, communist, bath housing, community agitating, Trojan Horse, Muslim usurper as well for high treason and sedition. These sorry excuses for human beings are working us toward a civil war.
    I think it’s funny how the tax story backfired on Madcow though Lester Dolt was doing his best to spin it as damaging to the President on the evening “news”..

    MATRESSES IN THE TRUMP HOTELS, MISSING THE ‘REMOVE UNDER PENALTY OF LAW’ TAGS!!!!! Tonight, on ‘Rachel Maddow Wastes Your Time!!!!

    The next civil war won’t be very civil, or last very long. Yes we are hopelessly divided, but most have neither the interest or inclination toward violence. Those that do are dangerous, but they are the fringe doing street theater. So far they’re shitting in their own crib. Once they step outside of their safe spaces they’ll realize just how dangerous the real world is. Seeing a couple of your fascist comrades getting toe tagged is a life altering experience. Suddenly burning and looting and breaking glass won’t seem so inviting…..

      I think the seriousness and dedication – and the lengths to which the Left will go to secure their agenda is underestimated by most. They are out there now getting bloodied, arrested, spitting in cops faces, and getting violent. They are motivated and well funded. They are also arming up as insane as that may seem given their anti-gun history. They are taking action where most of us for the last 8 years typed on a keyboard in our warm homes – myself included. These “snowflakes” are a threat and in a “civil” war I would not take anything for granted.

        Gotta agree with you on this one JR. As a vet, I kinda knew what and who I was up against. Not so much with this crowd and consequently we may well be underestimating intent and maybe even skill. My problem with the ‘civil war’ issue is the result regardless of the ‘winner.’ We should all hope and pray that such a conflict is a non-player. I would echo your last sentence.

        I don’t disagree, and there are many as yet unanswered questions: like what happens if and when this leftist insurgency’s bayonets meet cold steel rather than soft flesh? How do they respond when they’re black bandanas no longer offer them protection from the consequences their actions. Just how far are they willing to go to win by force what they couldn’t win by reason or vote.

        Let’s leave the questions be and deal with what we most assuredly know, which is our side. Our side has been preparing for war in any number of forms for as long as I can remember. The gun industry has grown in direct proportion to our needs and wants. An entire cottage industry experienced warfighters has sprung up to service our desire to not only survive, but to thrive in a tactical environment. It is our side who understands that the more you sweat the training in peace, the less you bleed in war. It won’t be our side bringing a half-assed rabble to a guerrilla war. Our side has been tempered and annealed in the ways of war. It’s been passed down through the ages, we know why we fight…. and must win….

    We are a long way from being out of the woods. The left, led by Obama, is going to do everything they possibly can to cause the collapse of the Trump administration. They will stall and obstruct everything in Congress and they will cause chaos in the streets. And this is all led and orchestrated by none other than Obama. I typically do not like to post long posts. But the following is a editorial I received from a friend of mine that I think everyone should see.

    Subject:  frightening OFA ,we need to forward this

    If you had an army some 30,000 strong and a court system stacked over the decades with judges who would allow you to break the laws, how much damage could you do to a country?  We are about to find out in America.  The ex-“president” said he was going to stay involved through community organizing and speak out on the issues, and that appears to be one post-administration promise he intends to keep.  He has moved many of his administration’s top dogs over to an organization called Organizing for Action (OFA).  OFA is behind the strategic and tactical implementation of the Marxist resistance we are seeing across America, and politically active courts are providing the leverage for this revolution.
     
    OFA is dedicated to organizing communities for progressive change, meaning Marxist revolution. Issues are gun control, socialist healthcare, abortion, sexual equality, climate change, and of course, immigration reform.  OFA members were propped up by the ex-“president’s” message from the shadows: “Organizing is the building block of everything great we’ve accomplished.  Organizers around the country are fighting for change in their communities-and OFA is one of the groups on the front lines…Commit to this work in 2016 and beyond.”  OFA’s website says it obtained its “digital” assets from the ex-“president’s” re-election effort and that he inspired the movement.  In short, it’s the shadow government organization aimed at resisting and tearing down the Constitutional Republic, picking up where Communist Party America leaves off.
     
    Paul Sperry, writing for the New York Post, says OFA is an army of agitators 30,000 strong who will fight President Donald Trump at every turn of his presidency and the ex-“president” “will command them from a bunker less than two miles from the White House.”  Sperry writes that the ex-“president” is setting up a shadow government to sabotage the incoming administration through a network of leftist nonprofits led by OFA, which is growing its war chest (more than $40 million) and has some 250 offices nationwide.  OFA IRS filings, according to Sperry, indicate OFA has 32,525 volunteers nationwide.  The ex-“president” and his wife will oversee the operation from their foundation office near the White House.
     
    Think about how this works-Trump issues an immigration executive order; OFA signals for protests and statements from Islamic and pro-immigrant leftist groups; ACLU lawyers file lawsuits in jurisdictions where activist judges obstruct the laws; volunteers are called to protest at airports and Congressional town hall meetings; the leftist media springs to action; the twittersphere lights up with revolutionary social media; violence follows-all emanating from the ex-“president’s” signal that he is heartened by the protests. Sad times are ahead folks!!!

    Rachel cow is such a complete evil moron. I personally don’t care what lifestyle she has/lives. She ranks with Maxine waterface and Shelia Jackson Lee. Second civil war…pffft doubt it. They’ve been trying to provoke conservatives to rise up ever since bummer got into office. That didn’t work and neither did the last few attempts to provoke violent reprisal, Just like the last idiot in Dallas, TX. Now…they think they can get their sheep, to suddenly lead into battle. (Minion’s voice “Whaaat?”) I agree with JR those attempting to motivate the sheep are very rich and are going to any length to try and spur the sheepish idiots, but it’s not going to work.They spent Zillions and years brain washing these idiots and now they think they can get the Zebra to change it’s stripes?

    Here is a CLEAR example of the moral fortitude and strength of those sheep they think they are going to get to rise up.

    Those evil people being funded by soros will fail. Just like pine straw It lites really fast, it catches fire quick, it burns really bright fast, and then quickly burns out. They are a bunch of emotional wrecks being pumped to fail and finish themselves off completely. Those idiots don’t really understand the global elites only want a civil war so they can then try and take over/invade America.The “OFA, and all the rest are going down in screaming finical and physically group diminishment. Which is why they are screaming so loud. ISIS and Syria are just about done now that bummer is no longer funding them

    I have not let my guard down for them or anyone for that matter. I would never foolishly think the bullets or violence they can cause is trivial, but I do know they will fail. Because we/all of us do work toward strength, get prepared, stand on guard. Those of us living very healthy lives while working on our preps are not sleeping. We hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

      Captain, I think you’re right. They will burn brightly and then fizzle out. But, in the meantime, I am afraid they will cause problems. Living in a college town, I have always thought it to be safe. I have carried only rarely. However, if I see the little snowflakes here in the University starting to get more agitated, I will begin to carry. I’ll escort my wife everywhere. We are both retired and she is disabled. I will not allow anyone to confront her without them being severely reprimanded, as in major attitude adjustment. I may be 70 years old, but I have no intent to stand by and put up with their disrespect.

    We are digging out up here.Had 32 inches of snow and more is coming Sat This snow was very unusually slippery-even county plow trucks over turned on.We had to use the 4 wd tractor and front end loader to clear the snow. Sad to hear that Florida has lost most of the peaches- as the blossoms have all died from being frozen.
    Yes the left is becoming more marxist by the minute.Time we made sure our representatives do the right thing. Trump is doing an exc job under very horrible conditions. Lightning

    JR I recently went on Facebook .Please friend me so I can check your site-thanks

    Okay…just read the post about Michael Savage being targeted and attacked yesterday by a left wing liberal. So, they are targeting people who they think they can win/whip. Don’t be that person. Be READY! Krav Maga? Either way..here is a video which I doubt the title, but for sure see the results of someone who was prepared and didn’t take any junk. Sorry, but you will have to sign in with a Google account to view the video.

    this was just posted in a liberal prepper group I’m part of, snuck in while it was open enrollment… this is how those lofty tolerance filled intelligent people think – it’s amazing how out of touch those people are. it’s not that us “right wing wackjobs” want CV2, THEY are the ones who are acting like a scorned woman and wanting to keep up the divisions and embrace CW2 while all along playing the victim card.
    “Welcome,
    Every now and again, someone will suggest we include Conservatives in this group. The all inclusive folks don’t grasp the level of wilful ignorance or even delusion it requires to be a Conservative, let alone how these simpletons get worked up over the obvious and ridiculous stories they tell about Liberals. Including them here or thinking one might be able to reason with the crazy people is the kind of poor decidion making that would allow pedophiles to be clowns at children’s parties. Some people should be excluded from some things”
