bonginoreport--2020-09-29--Biden and Harris Release 2019 Tax Returns Hours Before First Debate

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his wife , Jill , wave to the crowd during his 2020 campaign kickoff rally at the Eakins Oval in Philadelphia , Pa. , on Saturday , May 18 , 2019 .
WASHINGTON — Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and running mate Kamala Harris released their 2019 tax returns on Tuesday , just hours before Biden 's first debate with President Donald Trump .
The returns show that Biden and his wife , Jill , reported $ 944,737 in taxable income last year and paid $ 299,346 , or a 31 % tax rate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bidens also reported making $ 14,700 in charitable contributions .
The Bidens ' income last year represents a significant decrease from the previous two years .
In 2017 , the couple reported making more than $ 11 million , and in 2018 they made $ 4.5 million .
In both years , the income was largely through book deals .
Harris and her husband , attorney Doug Emhoff , reported $ 3,018,127 in taxable income , the majority of it via Emhoff 's partnership at the global law firm DLA Piper .
They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or an effective tax rate of 39 % .
Harris and Emhoff also reported making charitable donations of $ 35,390 last year .
The release was a strategic move , coming less than 48 hours after The New York Times published a bombshell investigation based on more than a decade 's worth of Trump 's tax returns , showing that he paid just $ 750 in individual federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017 .

Harris and her husband, attorney Doug Emhoff, reported $3,018,127 in taxable income , the majority of it via Emhoff's partnership at the global law firm DLA Piper. They paid federal income taxes of $1,185,628, or an effective tax rate of 39%. Harris and Emhoff also reported making charitable donations of $35,390 last year.

WASHINGTON — Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and running mate Kamala Harris released their 2019 tax returns on Tuesday, just hours before Biden's first debate with President Donald Trump.
The release was a strategic move, coming less than 48 hours after The New York Times published a bombshell investigation based on more than a decade's worth of Trump's tax returns, showing that he paid just $750 in individual federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017.
The Times also found that for 10 of the previous 15 years before he was elected to the White House, Trump paid no federal income taxes because his businesses lost hundreds of millions of dollars, which he was able to use to reduce his tax burden. Trump called the Times' expose "fake news" but did not directly dispute any of the figures contained in it.
"This is a historic level of transparency meant to give the American people faith, once again, that their leaders will look out for them and not their own bottom line," Kate Bedingfield, Biden's deputy campaign manager, told reporters Tuesday afternoon.
Over the past three years, Trump's tax returns have taken on an almost mythic quality, ever since he broke with decades of presidential campaign protocol and refused to release his returns during his 2016 campaign.
As the wealthiest American president in modern history, Trump has never been shy about the fact that he employs accountants to help him lower his tax bill, or that he aggressively seeks ways to minimize the tax burden on his sprawling real estate and licensing family business.
In 2016, Trump claimed during his first debate with Democrat Hillary Clinton that not paying income taxes "makes me smart."
But many Americans were shocked to learn this week just how little Trump has paid.
In 2016 and 2017, Biden paid far more in taxes than Trump did, despite making nowhere near as much money.
In 2016, the Bidens paid $87,000 in federal income taxes on income of $338,000. That year, Trump paid $750.
The following year, the Bidens paid $3.7 million in federal income taxes on earnings of just over $11 million. The same year, Trump paid $750.

During Tuesday evening's presidential debate between President Donald Trump and former vice president Joe Biden at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, Trump called out Biden for the direction he believes the Democratic Party to be headed in, as well as saying that Biden wouldn't fare very well among his possibly far-left colleagues.
Biden was in the middle of speaking about his plan for the health care system should he be elected, and when Biden brought up that he wanted people under his plan to keep their private health care, Trump couldn't help but interject.
"Your Party wants to go socialist medicine and socialist health care," Trump told Biden, "and they're going to dominate you, Joe. You know that."
It got a little awkward after that moment.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Tuesday told President Trump to “shut up, man!” while refusing to say if he wants to add justices to the Supreme Court during the first presidential debate.
Biden declined to tell debate moderator Chris Wallace of Fox News whether he would support adding justices to the court if Trump’s conservative pick, Amy Coney Barrett, is confirmed to replace liberal icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
“Whatever position I take on that, that’ll become the issue. The issue is the American people should speak. You should go out and vote. You’re in voting, now vote and let your senators know how strongly you feel. But vote now,” Biden said.

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to reporters as he departs on campaign travel to Minnesota from the South Lawn at the White House in Washington, September 30, 2020.
President Donald Trump on Thursday signed a bill to keep the government running into December after funding briefly lapsed.
The Senate passed the temporary spending bill on Wednesday in an 84-10 vote as lawmakers scrambled to prevent a shutdown. The House approved the legislation last week.
The president did not approve the bill before a midnight Thursday deadline to fund the government, and U.S. spending authority temporarily lapsed. But the Office of Management and Budget never ordered agencies to cease operations.
Trump signed the measure into law early Thursday after returning from a campaign event in Minnesota.
The law will ensure the government does not go through a crippling shutdown during a pandemic and about a month before the 2020 election.
It keeps federal agencies running until Dec. 11. Before then, lawmakers aim to hash out spending legislation to keep the government running through Sept. 2021.
Democrats and Republicans reached a deal on a temporary funding bill last week after a disagreement over whether to include farm aid money. The sides eventually settled on a proposal that includes guardrails to prevent the agriculture funds from going to large oil companies, according to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
She said the measure includes $8 billion for nutrition assistance for schoolchildren and families, and refreshes the Pandemic EBT food aid program for a full year.
Getting past the shutdown threat would theoretically give Congress more flexibility to break an ongoing dispute over how to structure a fifth coronavirus aid package before the election. Both Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Pelosi said Wednesday that they are "hopeful" about the prospects of a deal and will continue relief discussions.
Democratic leaders and the Trump administration have made little progress toward a stimulus deal since a series of formal talks broke apart last month. A fight over the Supreme Court vacancy will also likely take up much of the Senate's time before the election.
Republicans aim to quickly confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett, Trump's choice to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

bonginoreport--2020-09-30--Joe Biden Is Dodging Obamacare Taxes and No One Has Asked Him About It

Chris Wallace ignored Donald Trump ’ s answer about paying “ millions ” in taxes during Tuesday night ’ s debate , repeatedly demanding that the president answer a question he ’ d already answered .
Meanwhile , the person who really should answer for his tax returns is Joe Biden .
A few hours before the first presidential debate of the 2020 general election campaign , and amid a full-blown media kerfuffle over Trump ’ s taxes , the Democratic nominee released his 2019 tax returns .
The timing of the release seemed far from coincidental : ahead of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he made his returns public , but without giving reporters and moderator Chris Wallace time to absorb the returns prior to the debate .
It seems Biden was hoping the details of his returns would become old news immediately after Tuesday evening .
Reporters should dig into Biden ’ s tax returns , however , in the same way they have shown a seemingly unquenchable curiosity regarding Trump ’ s , for one reason : Biden claims to support Obamacare — but has consistently avoided paying Obamacare taxes .
You read that right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s 2017 and 2018 returns showed a tax avoidance strategy that allowed him to circumvent over half a million dollars in Medicare and Obamacare taxes .
According to their own returns , Biden and his wife Jill did the same thing in 2019 .
Since the vice president left government service in early 2017 , the Bidens funneled their income from book royalties and speaking fees through two corporations : CelticCapri Corporation and Giacoppa Corporation .
They paid themselves modest salaries through the corporations , on which they paid full Social Security @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most of this book and speech income — over $ 13.5 million — not as wages , however , but as profits from the two corporations .
Taking that income as corporate profits allowed them to avoid payroll taxes on the $ 13.5 million .
Because Social Security taxes only applied to the first $ 132,900 of income in 2019 , the Bidens didn ’ t avoid paying the taxes that fund that program .
But the 2.9 percent Medicare tax applies to all income , and the 0.9 percent “ high-income ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ applies to all wage income over $ 200,000 for an individual or $ 250,000 for a family .
Taking their income as corporate profits allowed the Bidens to avoid paying this combined 3.8 percent payroll tax on the more than $ 13.5 million in income they received from 2017 through 2019 .
This chart lays out the details : The tax avoidance strategy saved them less in 2019 than in prior years .
On the other hand , Biden earned much less last year , likely due to curtailing paid speaking appearances once @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most ordinary Americans , however , the Bidens still circumvented a staggering amount of taxes : $ 513,540 in total over the three years .
Whereas the Bidens avoided $ 391,912 in Medicare taxes from 2017 through 2019 , the Urban Institute found that a couple with average earnings , retiring this year , would pay a combined $ 161,000 in Medicare taxes their entire working lives .
Even as he released another set of tax returns showing his continued willingness to circumvent Obamacare taxes , the Biden campaign continues to run ads @ @ @ @ @ @ @ personal to me.
” Democrats want to run on the law this fall , believing that fears over the Obamacare lawsuit pending at the Supreme Court will motivate their voters .
But how personal can Obamacare be to Biden if he went out of his way to avoid Obamacare taxes ?
Likewise , the Democrats attempting to subpoena Trump ’ s tax returns should answer a simple question : If they want those returns for nonpartisan oversight purposes , why haven ’ t they called for an Internal Revenue Service audit of Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Biden paid himself a paltry salary compared to the $ 10 million in corporate profits he received , an arrangement that might violate IRS compensation guidelines .
The deafening silence from the liberal media notwithstanding , the real questions about Biden ’ s taxes won ’ t go away , nor should they .
The American people have a right to know from “ Middle-Class Joe ” himself why he put his own financial self-interest over a law he supposedly cares so much about .

Chris Wallace ignored Donald Trump’s answer about paying “millions” in taxes during Tuesday night’s debate, repeatedly demanding that the president answer a question he’d already answered. Meanwhile, the person who really should answer for his tax returns is Joe Biden.
A few hours before the first presidential debate of the 2020 general election campaign, and amid a full-blown media kerfuffle over Trump’s taxes, the Democratic nominee released his 2019 tax returns. The timing of the release seemed far from coincidental: ahead of the debate, so Biden could say he made his returns public, but without giving reporters and moderator Chris Wallace time to absorb the returns prior to the debate. It seems Biden was hoping the details of his returns would become old news immediately after Tuesday evening.
Reporters should dig into Biden’s tax returns, however, in the same way they have shown a seemingly unquenchable curiosity regarding Trump’s, for one reason: Biden claims to support Obamacare — but has consistently avoided paying Obamacare taxes.
You read that right. I noted last year that Biden’s 2017 and 2018 returns showed a tax avoidance strategy that allowed him to circumvent over half a million dollars in Medicare and Obamacare taxes. According to their own returns, Biden and his wife Jill did the same thing in 2019.
The Strategy, Explained
Since the vice president left government service in early 2017, the Bidens funneled their income from book royalties and speaking fees through two corporations: CelticCapri Corporation and Giacoppa Corporation. They paid themselves modest salaries through the corporations, on which they paid full Social Security and Medicare taxes.
The Bidens took most of this book and speech income — over $13.5 million — not as wages, however, but as profits from the two corporations. Taking that income as corporate profits allowed them to avoid payroll taxes on the $13.5 million.
Because Social Security taxes only applied to the first $132,900 of income in 2019, the Bidens didn’t avoid paying the taxes that fund that program. But the 2.9 percent Medicare tax applies to all income, and the 0.9 percent “high-income” tax created in Section 9015 of Obamacare applies to all wage income over $200,000 for an individual or $250,000 for a family.
Taking their income as corporate profits allowed the Bidens to avoid paying this combined 3.8 percent payroll tax on the more than $13.5 million in income they received from 2017 through 2019. This chart lays out the details:
The tax avoidance strategy saved them less in 2019 than in prior years. On the other hand, Biden earned much less last year, likely due to curtailing paid speaking appearances once he began his presidential campaign.
To most ordinary Americans, however, the Bidens still circumvented a staggering amount of taxes: $513,540 in total over the three years. Whereas the Bidens avoided $391,912 in Medicare taxes from 2017 through 2019, the Urban Institute found that a couple with average earnings, retiring this year, would pay a combined $161,000 in Medicare taxes their entire working lives.
Biden’s Hypocrisy — and Democrats’ Silence
Even as he released another set of tax returns showing his continued willingness to circumvent Obamacare taxes, the Biden campaign continues to run ads in which Biden claims Obamacare “is personal to me.” Democrats want to run on the law this fall, believing that fears over the Obamacare lawsuit pending at the Supreme Court will motivate their voters. But how personal can Obamacare be to Biden if he went out of his way to avoid Obamacare taxes?
Likewise, the Democrats attempting to subpoena Trump’s tax returns should answer a simple question: If they want those returns for nonpartisan oversight purposes, why haven’t they called for an Internal Revenue Service audit of Biden’s taxes? Particularly in 2017, Biden paid himself a paltry salary compared to the $10 million in corporate profits he received, an arrangement that might violate IRS compensation guidelines.
The deafening silence from the liberal media notwithstanding, the real questions about Biden’s taxes won’t go away, nor should they. The American people have a right to know from “Middle-Class Joe” himself why he put his own financial self-interest over a law he supposedly cares so much about.

Two officials for the Vatican announced Wednesday that Pope Francis had denied U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo ’ s request for an audience , and shared concerns Pompeo ’ s visit would be an effort to get the Vatican to denounce China ahead of a deal between the Vatican and Beijing .

” Pompeo said his denouncement of China was in line with the Trump administration ’ s existing stance on China .
Pompeo did say , “ We want every institution to use its authority @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for what is the greatest human rights violation ongoing in the world – and we want every institution to use their power.

Trump campaign advisor Jason Miller threw down on Thursday afternoon on Twitter, highlighting how the next Presidential debate will be moderated by a friend of Joe Biden who shared an anti-Trump article.
Steve Scully is the next debate moderator. He actually worked as an intern for Joe Biden,
Scully, now at C-SPAN, also shared an anti-Trump article in March 2016. He wrote: “No, Not Trump, Not Ever,” linking to an article in the Chinese Communist Party-linked New York Times:
https://twitter.com/SteveScully/status/710943428314419201
The article in question was written by left-wing columnist David Brooks and stated:
“He is a childish man running for a job that requires maturity. He is an insecure boasting little boy whose desires were somehow arrested at age 12…
“Donald Trump is an affront to basic standards of honesty, virtue and citizenship. He pollutes the atmosphere in which our children are raised. He has already shredded the unspoken rules of political civility that make conversation possible. In his savage regime, public life is just a dog-eat-dog war of all against all.
“As the founders would have understood, he is a threat to the long and glorious experiment of American self-government. He is precisely the kind of scapegoating, promise-making, fear-driving and deceiving demagogue they feared.”
But we’re sure Scully will be a fair and balanced moderator, right?

bonginoreport--2020-10-01--Associated Press Invents Politically Correct Version of the Word “Riot”

The Associated Press has made a change to their Stylebook , dictating that the word `` riot '' should not be used to describe actual riots .
`` Use care in deciding which term best applies , '' they instruct .
`` A riot is a wild or violent disturbance of the peace involving a group of people .
The term riot suggests uncontrolled chaos and pandemonium . ''
Because of this , they do n't want us to use the word `` riot ” even when it is applicable .
They say , instead , that `` focusing on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grievance has been used in the past to stigmatize broad swaths of people protesting against lynching , police brutality , or for racial justice , going back to the urban uprisings of the 1960s . ''
They do n't want us to focus on property damage because the AP worries it sullies the message , and to make sure that gets across , they do n't want us to believe that property destruction happens during a riot , but that it happens during a peaceful protest .
They would rather we believe lies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be true than know what the truth actually is .
Like so many leftists , the Associated Press is concerned that the public may take a dim view of the burning , looting , and random assaults currently rocking the US , and to fix those perceptions , they 're changing what words mean .
Instead , even though the time period they reference is nearly 60 years in the past , the AP would like us to use the term `` unrest , '' with the reasoning that it `` is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for a condition of angry discontent and protest verging on revolt . ''
The New York Post ’ s Sohab Ahmari responded to AP ’ s directive thusly : `` F*ck right off .
As an editor , I 'm not going to use this guidance to lie to our readers about reality . ''
Ahmari hits the nail on the head here .
That 's precisely what this is about—changing the language to change our perception of reality .
The AP , however , does n't really need to convince their fellow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ calling riots `` peaceful protests '' for months now .
CNN went so far as to declare riots in Kenosha `` fiery yet peaceful protests . ''
Someone actually typed that up and put it on screen .
And then a reporter said it out loud , and he did n't even crack a smile .
Leftist media , otherwise known as mainstream media , have been gaslighting the public for quite a while now .
All the Associated Press is doing here is trying to formalize it .
They instruct journalists that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actions such as marches , sit-ins , rallies or other actions meant to register dissent .
They can be legal or illegal , organized or spontaneous , peaceful or violent , and involve any number of people . ''
This is the same narrative that was used after the riots erupted in the wake of George Floyd 's death in police custody in Minneapolis on May 25 .
As crowds formed in Minneapolis and across the country , and protests devolved into incendiary , violent , riots , complete with looting and mayhem @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the viewing public , held captive in their COVID-restricted homes , knew that the `` peaceful protestors '' and the `` violent rioters '' were complete separate entities .
The story media and Democrat leaders wanted us to hear was that the innocent protestors were merely out in the streets to express their first amendment rights to freedom of speech and freedom of assembly , and that it was white supremacists who had infiltrated these crowds and manifested violence .
They kept telling us this even though it was an obvious lie @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to contradict their claims .
People do n't believe this narrative of peaceful protests , we know that there are protests , and that not everyone devolves into violent bad actors intent on destroying property .
When they say `` Revolt and uprising both suggest a broader political dimension or civil upheavals , a sustained period of protests or unrest against powerful groups or governing systems '' it is because they want to tell us how to think about what 's going on in our nation and our world , because they do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We do n't need the AP to redefine words for us , we know what words mean , and more importantly , we know what they do n't mean .
A riot is a violent disturbance of the peace by a crowd of people .
We should all take a cue from Ahmari and collectively tell the AP to f*ck off .

They don't want us to focus on property damage because the AP worries it sullies the message, and to make sure that gets across, they don't want us to believe that property destruction happens during a riot, but that it happens during a peaceful protest.

The AP, however, doesn't really need to convince their fellow woke journalists. They’ve been calling riots "peaceful protests" for months now.

And then a reporter said it out loud, and he didn't even crack a smile.
