What happened Jan 1, 2015? ... Thx Judi C~

What happened January 1, 2015

                            Just in case you have already forgotten these facts.
 

Reminder for those who forgot or for many that didn't know
 Here is what happened on January 1, 2015 : 

Top Medicare tax went from 1.45% to 2.35%  

Top Income tax bracket went from 35% to 39.6% 

Top Income payroll tax went from 37.4% to 52.2% 

Capital Gains tax went from 15% to 28%

  
Dividends tax went from 15% to 39.6%

   

Estate tax went from 0% to 55% 

Remember this fact:   
 These taxes were all passed only with democrat votes,

no republicans voted for these taxes.   
 

These taxes were all passed under the Affordable Care Act, akaObamacare. 
 If you think that it is important that everyone in the U.S. should know this,  pass it  on. If not, then delete it.

 

 

NO NEW TAXES!!!     THANKS OBAMA!

Young Feathers in Dubai ... Thx Paul C and Ramey H!

Personally, my two year older brother, Bud got control of the family car before I had a chance.    My dad compensated by getting me an used Model A Ford.  I said don't worry Dad, I will fly wherever when I am old enough to drive.  I never have and that was sixty-six years ago.  Oil has made these arabs quite wealthy.  This is an amazing ride!

THIS IS REALLY AMAZING! DON'T MISS IT.

How different from a casual walk along the river....

For some, this might be a fun addition to one’s bucket list.

Liberals rule Baltimore or is it rue?

The Collapse of Baltimore City

 

Fact: the last Republican city council member in Baltimore City left office in 1942.

 

That is 73 years of solid Democrat city councils.

 

Fact: the last Republican mayor of Baltimore City left office in 1967.

 

That is 48 years of unbroken control of the mayor's office.

 

Fact: the Maryland Senate is currently 33 Democrats to 14 Republicans.

 

Fact: the Maryland House is currently 90 Democrats to 50 Republicans.

 

Fact: the last time Republicans held both the Maryland Senate and the Maryland House of Delegates was 1897.

 

Fact: the last time Republicans held even one chamber of the Maryland General Assembly--the House--was 1917.

 

That is unbroken Democrat control of the Maryland legislature since 1918--or nearly a century of Democrat control.

 

Fact: 7 out of 8 members of the Maryland delegation in the U.S. House are Democrats.

 

Fact: Last Republican U.S. Senator from Maryland was elected in 1980.

 

Fact: it was Baltimore’s Democrat mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who said:

 

“I’ve made it very clear that I work with the police and instructed them to do everything that they could to make sure that the protesters were able to exercise their right to free speech. It's a very delicate balancing act. Because while we tried to make sure that they were protected from the cars and other things that were going on, we also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well. And we worked very hard to keep that balance and to put ourselves in the best position to de-escalate." This ”space to destroy” policy led to riots which resulted in:

 

130 police officers injured More than 350 businesses damaged (increasing inner-city unemployment)
15 pharmacies damaged (limiting inner-city residents’ access to medicine) Korean American businesses targeted while gangs protected businesses owned by African Americans
144 vehicle fires Firehoses cut as firemen fought fires The collapse of order has a continuing effect. There has been a drastic increase in shootings and homicides in Baltimore since April 27. More than 50 people have been shot. At least 10 have been shot and four killed since Saturday May 9. Nonfatal shootings are up nearly 50 percent.

 

All of this happened under the leadership of a Democrat mayor who was worried more about the rioters’ free speech than about the safety, protection, and livelihoods of innocent Baltimoreans.

 

The first duty of government is to protect the innocent and the weak from predators and violence.

 

Once again a Democrat favored the violent over the victims.

 

The protesters charge that the police are racist.

 

Fact: More than half of the Baltimore City police force is minority.

 

Fact: four of the six top commanders are African American or Hispanic.

 

Fact: half of the police officers being prosecuted are African American.

 

The protesters point to poverty--and they’re right. Poverty has devastated minority communities. But it is left-wing policies implemented by Democrats that have created destructive incentives and denied opportunity to generations of young people.

 

Fact: Baltimore City spends $17,329 per student, and its unionized, bureaucratic schools fail.

 

As Terence Jeffrey of CNS News quotes a lawyer for Freddie Gray’s family as saying, "The education system has failed them." The lawyer is right. "These kids have had bad experiences in school," he said.

 

Jeffrey outlines the absolute failure of the unionized bureaucratic Baltimore City school system: 84% of eighth graders score below grade level in reading. 87% scored below grade level in math.

 

For $17,000 a year, Baltimore City students could get much better educations at Catholic schools, private schools or even with an organized home schooling program (8 students could pool $120,000 a year to hire a personal tutor as was done when Thomas Jefferson was young).

 

Amazingly, as Archbishop of Baltimore William Lori points out, the Catholic schools cost $6,000 a year and have a 99 percent graduation rate. Yet the Democrats are committed to locking poor children out of those schools if it takes a dime away from funds for failing, unionized public schools.

 

With school choice policies, we could save children's lives while saving money. Instead the left wing unions and bureaucracies ruthlessly exploit children, ruining their lives while the Democratic leadership in the Maryland House blocks school choice bills that would give children a chance to attend better schools and would force schools to compete for students by actually being good schools.

 

There is no greater example of the relentless dishonesty of modern Democrats than their willingness to destroy children's lives while blaming others. President Obama could quit blaming Fox News and simply demand school choice (which of course he opposes) and he would radically improve the lives of millions of trapped poor children.

 

Of course, it is Democrats who control the teachers union that traps Baltimore City's children in schools that fail and ruin their lives. They do so on behalf of the unionized bureaucratic political machine that controls the city.

 

Poverty in general has been institutionalized by the destructive ideological biases of Democrat President Lyndon Johnson's Great Society. On May 22,1964 President Johnson said, "Our society will never be great until our cities are great. Today the frontier of imagination and innovation is inside those cities and not beyond their borders."

 

Tragically, his policies trapped people in dependency, killed small businesses in favor of bureaucracy, and favored unionized workers over children. The result has been a 50-year disaster which no liberal Democrat is prepared to analyze honestly.

 

Charles Murray's classic study of destructive welfare policies, Losing Ground, and Marvin Olasky's decisive repudiation of the idealistic premises of big government liberalism’s approach to poverty, The Tragedy of American Compassion, explain decisively the failure of the Baltimore City Democrats. Their values, principles and organizations doom their efforts to failure.

 

A sound program has to start with safety and work.

 

That policy has to begin with favoring public safety and small business.

 

All Americans should care enough about their fellow citizens trapped with bad leadership, bad government, selfish bureaucrats, and misleading news media. All of us should care about creating a much better future for poor Americans.

 

That future has to start with a fact-based analysis of how we got here and who has been responsible.

 

In Baltimore City, the answer is Democrat officials who for a half-century have crippled and weakened what was once a great and vibrant city.

 

In future weeks, I will outline a strategy for a renaissance in Baltimore City.

Newt Gingrich Blasts de Blasio and His ‘Liberal Contract with America’ Last week, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio announced his plans to release a “Liberal Contract with America,” saying the idea was inspired by the 1994 Contract with America, in which Newt was the lead architect. In a New York Post op-ed this week, Newt compares Mayor de Blasio's Contract with the original, saying that in 1994, Republicans pledged to the American people a specific set of steps they'd take if elected, whereas Mayor de Blasio's Contract is meant to pressure the Democrats to move to the left.

Marlana sings! ... Thx Jim K, my brother!

           Jim

     My brother Sam, PHS, 1950, and later a graduate of the University of Kentucky, with a degree in metallurgical engineering, has continued his alliance and love of anything UK related, although he still watches and roots for Ohio State University.  Recently he sent me a story about a 20-year-old woman from Denver, Kentucky, Marlana VanHoose, who is a spectacular singer, and one who performs at many public events around the USA.  ESPN presented an E:60 documentary a little over a year ago, and introduced her to the world.  She has traveled the world since, and has been amazing crowds everywhere she performs.

     Denver is an unincorporated, and small coal town in rural Eastern Kentucky, just seven miles from Paintsville.  The story Sam sent tells that Marlana was born with cerebral palsy, and without a fully formed optic nerve, which left her unable to see, and doctors told the family she would live for only one year.  They were quite wrong, and her mother Teresa says, "By the time she was 2 years old she taught herself to play the piano.  Now she uses her spectacular singing talent to thrill crowds wherever she sings."

     Her family has been a life-long fan of Kentucky sports, and they tried for years to get her to perform at a men's basketball game, and with other's help she finally helped her get to sing at a women's game in 2012.  Word reached the UK sports administrative staff, and they extended an invite, and of course, Marlana showed up and brought the Coliseum house down.  According to the story Sam sent, "one experience led to another, including more UK men's games.  Now she is a singing superstar, and has become a member of the Artist Music Guild.

     She has sung for crowds at many Kentucky men's games, a NASCAR Sprint Series race. and a Brooklyn Mets NBA game.   Marlana has sung at the Cincinnati Reds Opening Day festival, and at political events.

     Marlana says she is never nervous, and it doesn't bother her singing, even when it's in front of thousands of people.  "It doesn't bother me to sing in front of a million people.  I'm like "Woooo!  Pumped up!"  she said.

     Marlana's mother, says, "Sometimes my legs are shaking during and after she sings.  Especially when it's on live tv."
