Real Newsblast Episode 5: Tax Bill Rewrites, Child Brides, Walkout

Image
Tax Reform Bill may have to be rewritten So, we remember when the tax scam was passed hastily? It’s infamous for the handwritten changes they made hours before it was to be passed, and it got rid of the State and Local Taxes Deduction—SALT—which disproportionately hurt higher tax/blue states. It also got rid of the deduction for teachers and supplies. It also has something about S corporations that allow a rich person to save more money, something called a pass through. So after the Kochs invested in Paul Ryan to the tune of a half million dollars (make note: Most of it was to a PAC for Republicans), we are seeing headlines that the bill may need to be rewritten. The fiscal times reports on two specific areas that will have to be fixed in the legislation The ‘Grain Glitch’: The legislation allows farmers to deduct 20 percent of their total sales to  cooperatives . “This allows farmers to deeply reduce their tax bills, but it has caused an uproar among independent agricult

FYI: I decided to share the link to the YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0W_RVYHkxw&index=5&list=PLfRQrQAYOcNbrfPdsz6Ksz1aIuM3lTCKT&t=1s) It was thrilling for me to watch Texas Primaries, who kicked off the campaign season, runoff elections will be held on May 22 nd , two weeks after West Virginia’s Primaries. I’m beyond ready to see if the Justice Democrats who made the runoffs will win, I’m rooting for them. One happens to be the subject of our first story When the DCCC Chairman Ben Lujan (D-NM) saying that he would fund candidates who oppose abortion in order to start winning races again; Lara Moser wrote a piece opposing the move. She states in the first paragraph of her op-ed (link below: https://www.vogue.com/article/dccc-litmus-test-abortion-stand-up-for-women-instead) “As a  first-time Congressional candidate , I’ve been warned not to criticize Ben Ray Luján and the powerful Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Real Newsblast Special Bulletin

Hello all Vidhead85 here. I am editing a few videos on Real Newsblast and I wanted to put forth a special bulletin (video link here: https://youtu.be/n9CalrUcojY) Tomorrow is the Illinois Primary and I am hoping to see Biss win his run for Governor to face off against Ranauer and Marie Newman to pick up IL-3 and Kaegi for Cook County Assessor, I saw an article that really showed some friction big time in that race that had ties to helping development companies and corruption in that office. Kick them out! Austin TX faces 4 bombs sent to what seems to be prominent black families and I don’t know how accurate it is but the last one was an IED. That leads me to believe a racist veteran could be the culprit, or at least someone in the circle of the families with an ax to grind I can’t be sure until I know more I did a video about Conor Lamb winning his race but I just wanted to highlight that here, it’s going to be featured in an upcoming episode of Real Newsblast Also, the

Hello all welcome to Real Newsblast with Vidhead85 this is Episode 4 A New Hope…oh wait, well it kind of can be called that so this episode is titled West Virginia Progressives Step up Lissa Lucas was speaking to the House of Delegates Judiciary Committee’s HB4268 which is a bill that would allow a company to drill on private land without their consent. So she did something that people have been saying for a long time “Follow the money” by listing the donations of the people who are pushing to pass this bill she was later tossed out of the House of Delegates…HER House of Delegates. Regardless of where you stand politically money in politics unites people and getting rid of it is what we absolutely have to do: PUBLIC FINANCING OF ELECTIONS is where we have to go! Further, she is now running for WV House of Delegates-7. The current Delegate is Jason Harshbarger, he was one of the people on the Judiciary Committee that had her thrown out, and I believe she was on his name abo
