Speaking of caught lying again. Here they go again.
GOP congresswoman forgot how she voted on bills she's bragged about, but actually opposed: 'I need to ask my staff'
On Sunday, Republican Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar of Florida was asked about federal funding she's been bragging about bringing to her Miami-area district
In an interview with CBS Miami on Sunday, host Jim DeFede asked Salazar about her votes against three bills: an omnibus bill to fund the government for 2023, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
Altogether, the bills account for roughly $3.1 trillion in government spending, some of which has benefited Salazar's district.
In one case, first reported by Business Insider, Salazar posed with a giant $650,000 check for a small business program development program that was funded by the 2023 omnibus.
When asked about the small business program in December, Salazar was able to provide an explanation: that she had secured the community project funding for the program herself, even as she opposed the "reckless spending for an already bloated federal government" in the overall bill.
"I can celebrate this victory because I fought for it and put my name on this Community Funding project," Salazar said in a statement provided by her office at the time.
Beyond the omnibus, Salazar has celebrated funding for a local airport that came from the infrastructure bill, while highlighting climate resiliency efforts that were funded by the CHIPS and Science Act — both of which she opposed.
It's part of a broader pattern of what Democrats have dubbed "vote no, take the dough" — Republicans bragging about or celebrating government funding or other programs that they actually opposed when it was up for a vote.
"Aren't you proud of me? Aren't you proud of the $40 million that I've brought?" she said.
In one case recently highlighted by BI, Republican Rep. Mike Garcia criticized the same omnibus bill that Salazar and nearly every other Republican voted against in December 2022 — only to begin bragging about the funding he'd brought home in a mailer to constituents this past summer.Comment -

The brazen comments that Biden needs the tools to fix this border crisis is a galling lie!!! Biden’s own words, policies, executive actions, his cabinet, and the complicity of the Democratic congress created an unforced problem of monolithic proportions.
He can reverse much of this momentum right now and needs no new laws and has already blown a fortune on his failure and can start without any funding initially. This is not an issue the Republicans own. Fixing immigration? The Dems keep breaking it and moving the goalposts!!!Comment -
Biden allowed millions into the country illegally because that is what he was told to do for the future votes for his party. They don't give a penetrate about the country and the actual citizens. Who cares about their communities who are being over run by millions of people these counties can't handle. Schools being evacuated so they can house people who broke the law entering the country. America last. They just sit back and smile while they country is being destroyed and they liberal establishment pretends along with him because they too would rather push the lie than admit Trump was right. Unless of course 50 are sent to Martha's Vineyard, where all the alphabet people are outraged along with the MSM, the military is immediately deployed, the just like that they are gone. Fukk Texas though. Fukk Arizona. penetrate anywhere else. What a bunch of scumbags these politicians are.
Nothing Trump has done or will never do with compare to what the democrats are doing to the USA. Anyone who votes democrat hates America.Comment -

What the fake media ''FORGOT'' to tell you.
Enacted by former President Donald Trump in 2017, the law drastically overhauled the nation's tax code, including reducing the top individual income tax bracket to 37% from 39.6% and nearly doubling the size of the standard deduction.
However, those changes to the individual section of the tax code are poised to sunset in 2025, meaning that many taxpayers will face steeper levies if the law is not extended.
"If lawmakers allow full expiration to occur, most Americans will see their personal tax bills rise and incentives for working and investing worsen," said Erica York, senior economist and research director at the Tax Foundation.
In addition to lowering the top tax bracket for wealthy Americans, the Trump-era law raised the thresholds for several income tax brackets — essentially lowering the liability for many households.

Report claims Fox News got in Kamala’s head and ’caused high anxiety’ for veep
Corporate media’s incestuous relationship with leftist leaders is no mystery, nor is their collective disdain for conservative outlets. Instead of tuning out voices like those on Fox News, Harris, according to a former aide, chose to watch programs like “The Five” where their portrayal of her became a distraction.
According to the report from Axios, one aide had said of her “occasionally” turning on the program and hearing the criticism of her, “It got in her head and caused high anxiety because they were constantly hammering her.”Comment -

Since we are listing what the media forgot, here is a few your post forgot.
- The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act eliminated or limited many deductions, credits, and limits, including the standard deduction, until Dec. 31, 2025.
- Personal and dependent exemptions are now obsolete, although the Child Tax Credit remains.
- Eliminated deductions include those for moving expenses and alimony, while limits were placed on deductions for mortgage interest and state and local taxes.
- Key expenses no longer deductible include those related to investing, tax preparation, and hobbies.

ya the tax code is over 70,000 pages. Its ridiculous.
Under Trump, average household median income was $6000 over inflation. Under Biden, its $2500 below inflation. The Trump tax cuts helped everyone. It even generated more revenue for the federal government than ever before. But of course, even if it was better for everyone, because it was Trump, the Left must hate it.
Crazy how anyone is against paying less tax and keeping more of your own money rather than giving it away to a group misfits who are 34 trillion in debt.Comment -
