Trump Wants New Tax Cuts by September 2020: Kudlow
- Kudlow said administration officials will probably use Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought’s $1.4 trillion budget request to craft the new package, dubbed “tax cuts 2.0.”
- The package containing the fresh round of cuts will come out sometime in September, according to Kudlow.
- Remember what Trump said,
- “We’ll be announcing it some time in the next year, but it’ll be a very, very substantial tax cut for middle-income folks who work so hard,”
- September interest time to announce a tax cut

Trump First President To Budget For Sending Education Bucks Back To States
- President Trump has become the first president to incorporate into his budget one of the few good federal education policy ideas: Sending Americans’ money back to their states to decide how to use it.
- Federal education programs have wasted trillions, enriching contractors and bureaucrats who lobby for open taps while arm-twisting Americans into trusting them with their dollars and children against all evidence that trust is deserved. Even federal evaluations have repeatedly found that federal education programs are ineffective. The conclusion of a century of increasing federal involvement in education is unequivocally that if you want something in education, the worst thing you can do is task the federal government with it.
- That’s why it’s such a good idea to get the money back closer to the kids, where it belongs. The Trump administration’s aspirational 2020-21 budget proposal would block grant a substantial portion of K-12 dollars back to states. It’s an excellent first step towards eliminating federal meddling in local schools altogether, which President Trump has repeatedly said needs to happen. It would also be the only such step Congress has ever made, and thus their best move on education in a century.

SENATE ATTACKS JUDY SHELTON FOR SIN OF BEING OUTSIDE THE MAINSTREAM
- Today the Senate Banking Committee held a hearing for President Trump’s two most recent Federal Reserve nominees. In one chair sat Christopher Waller, vice president and director of research at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, whose dreadfully dull answers could have been the product of a bot forced to watch 1,000 hours of central bank testimony. Luckily for those watching, most of the questions were directed towards the far more intriguing – and controversial – Judy Shelton.
- Why the attack Judy Shelton’s record includes public support for a modern gold standard, criticism of the Fed’s response to the financial crisis, and even compared America’s central bank to Soviet central planners. On the topic of competing currencies, Ms. Shelton once referred to Bernard von NotHaus, a man arrested by the US government for the production of silver “Liberty Dollars”, as the “Rosa Parks of monetary policy” for his willingness to challenge the Fed.
- Judy Shelton offered a glimpse of what it would look like to actually drain the swamp of central bankers.
- Senator Richard Shelby, at one point the Chairman of the Banking Committee, was particularly appalled at the notion of nominating a Federal Reserve candidate so outside the mainstream. His grilling of Ms. Shelton included sagely pointing out that the amount of gold in the world is worth less than the American GDP, and suggested that the gold standard was a product of the days when the US was a “barter economy.”
- Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana pushed Ms. Shelton on what she would recommend if faced with an abrupt financial crisis. Her response, unfortunately, was more of the same – taking interest rates to 0, more QE. It was an answer so uninspired that it was basically repeated by Mr. Waller.

AS we discussed yesterday Barr appeared on ABC News, and he set the record straight, that nobody can influence him, remember
Optics are very important,
1. Barr is independent
2. Barr will not be influenced
3. Barr will make his own decisions
4. Trump like Fox News,
Barr uses ABC News The Setup is Complete,
Barr can now proceed
“The President has never asked me to do anything in a criminal case.” A.G. Barr This doesn’t mean that I do not have, as President, the legal right to do so, I do, but I have so far chosen not to!

I could see strategy for this.
People will say “Why charge Flynn and not McCabe?!” adding to that argument.
The public are saying “WTF?!”, and demanding justice. This will make Durham’s upcoming drops more accepted.

The DOJ under Barr went ahead and countered the sentencing of RS, the MSM went crazy, Barr is taking orders from Trump, we need an investigation, we need Barr disbarred etc.. Remember RS lied, did McCabe lie, yes more times than RS and the DOJ did not pursue the case, then Barr appeared on ABC, letting everyone know that nobody can influence him, then we have McCabes charges dropped. What did the patriots do, the lurred the MSM, DS and other right down the path they wanted them to go. Barr does think for himself and make decisions on his own, they let McCabe off. Do you really think McCabe is off the hook, the DOJ prosecutes the serious crimes, the slam dunks. They are not finished with McCabe, optics are important,
Then we have this

- The Pentagon must stop work on its major cloud computing contract that Microsoft won last year, a court ruled
- Amazon, which asked for the delay, argues it lost the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI, contract to Microsoft because of President Donald Trump’s remarks disparaging the company and its founder, Jeff Bezos.
- Amazon is suing the Pentagon in the Court of Federal Claims, and filed the request for an injunction on Jan. 22, saying in a statement that “it is common practice to stay contract performance while a protest is pending and it’s important that the numerous evaluation errors and blatant political interference that impacted the JEDI award decision be reviewed.”The judge agreed with Amazon. The ruling is sealed, but a summary of the document posted on the Public Access to Court Electronic Records website said the Pentagon is “hereby preliminarily enjoined from proceeding with contract activities … until further order of the court.“ Amazon must provide $42 million in security, which will be held by the court until the case is closed, to cover any costs and damages if future court proceedings show the injunction was issued wrongfully,

Q
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/durham-scrutinizing-john-brennans-handling-of-russian-interference-in-2016📁Durham scrutinizing John Brennan’s handling of Russian interference in 2016
U.S. Attorney John Durham is reportedly reviewing John Brennan’s analysis of Russian election interference, including scrutiny of the former Obama CIA director’s handling of a secret source said to be close to the Kremlin.
Much of this revolves around how the United States government eventually reached its January 2017 intelligence assessment on Russian meddling and whether Brennan was pushing for a biased result.
One major battle was about the identity and credibility of a CIA source allegedly close to the Kremlin. The NSA wanted more details about him, which the CIA resisted before providing them. The NSA then disagreed with the CIA and FBI about how much confidence to place in the source. ministration’s response” and said the discussions “were atypically restricted” and “excluded” key officials who were normally clued in.

1. allow for public dissemination of critical facts [possible unseal(s)-declas] prior to world televised sit down.
Sometimes the necessary forum to update the American public is provided by those same people being investigated for….

They’ve only dropped the investigation arising from Horowitz’s 2018 referral. This has nothing to do with Durham’s investigation which is still ongoing.

I’m not playing the game until the Durham investigation concludes. I strongly encourage you to do the same.
Bigger [slam-dunk] charges coming?

DRAIN THE SWAMP! We want bad people out of our government!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 13, 2020
Personally, I think we saw the first mistake by The Patriots today. McCabe being allowed to walk free is insulting. I very much doubt Durham has anything Horowitz has not seen or is aware of. There is NO justice anymore. People are losing hope. Perhaps Cue simply got this one wrong. No mere human, or group of humans, can be correct all of the time. Here are my facts for those of us keeping score:
HRC – Free
Comey – Free
McCabe – Free
Strosek – Free
Page – Free
Vindman – Free
Clapper – Free
Brennan – Free
Abadin – Free
Rosenstein – Free
etc.
Meanwhile
Stone – Guilty and back on Trial
Flynn – May or may not go free
Manafort – Jailed
Cohen – Jailed
Rick Gates – Guilty
Papadopoulus – Convicted
Do you see a pattern here? I do. Making a mistake of this magnitude is torturous to those of us who had little hope left.
what a load of crap. Barr needs outside help to see the plain truth that is before his fat face. the wheels of justice turn slowly. BS. Tell that to Gen. Flynn, Popadopolus, Mannaport, etc. Meanwhile the Clintons,Comey, McCabe, Strock, Page,Feinstein,Schifft, Obama, the Pedesto brothers, the Bidens, Holder,Brennan, The attorney gen. after holder and at least another dozen dems. And people wonder if there is a two tier justice system? What the F@#k do you think? Sorry about the spelling.
