Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of the accompanying video from professor Peter St. Onge. Kamala Harris’ economic plan is taking shape, starting with $5 trillion in new taxes—because Washington clearly does not have enough money to spend. In the past fortnight alone, Harris has promised to hike taxes on small businesses to 39.6% and hike taxes on capital gains and dividends to a top rate of 44.6%—the highest in history, even beating the communist-adjacent Jimmy Carter. Since taxing half your life savings doesn’t come close to keeping Washington fed, she also wants to hike the corporate rate by a third to 28%. That would take us from one of the best places in the world to do business to one of the worst. We’d be worse than China, Canada, Britain, Russia, even the European Union. A company would literally make money moving to Canada. And for so-called strategic sectors, our tax rate would be double the rate in China. Note that workers are the ones who actually pay corporate income tax. A Tax Foundation study found that they pay around 70% of them in the form of lower wages. The rest is paid by shareholders in lower retirement returns and customers in higher prices. Yes, the same high prices she’s blaming on “price gouging.” The fun doesn’t stop there. Harris is also calling for a second death tax, something called “step-up basis” that would treat death as a taxable event. So, not only would the family business or farm have to pay estate taxes when it’s passed on, it would be taxed as if all the assets were sold, with up to 44.6% going to thegovernment on top of the death tax. Finally, the big one: Harris’ handlers are pushing for something we’ve never taxed in this country: unrealized gains. As in a bureaucrat pretends you sold all your stock and the family farm when you didn’t and sends you a bill anyway. Like all new taxes, this one is being sold as only hitting the rich, but in reality, it will hit family businesses and farms. Moreover, I mentioned in a recent video how the income tax itself started by only hitting the top 1% at a top rate of 7%—and yet here we are today, with more tax returns than people in this country and a top rate of—if Harris gets her way—44.6%. Incidentally, Americans overwhelmingly oppose taxes on unrealized gains by a factor of 3 to 1. Seventy-six percent of independents oppose it. It’s also worth noting Europeans have tried this kind of wealth tax over and over, and every time, it’s failed. The actual rich just move their money and hire better tax lawyers, while small business gets wiped out. Norway, for example, expected to collect $150 million per year from its wealth tax, but instead $54 billion fled the country, taking $600 million of taxes with it. So, what’s next? Barely a month into Harris’ presidential candidacy, she’s already far to the left of even President Joe Biden. And keep in mind, this is before the election, when they try not to sound crazy. We can only imagine what’s coming after the election. Like drinking radiator coolant, government spending always tastes sweet in the beginning. The stimulus checks, the trillion dollars for green energy, and this week’s war are all painless blips on a debt chart. Then comes the payback: First, the inflation; then, the taxes that amount to wholesale confiscation of your retirement, of a financial future for the young—all while gutting what’s left of the productive economy.

Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his campaign last week and endorsed former President Donald Trump.  I disagree with Kennedy about a lot. But at least he was willing to talk to people who disagree with him. In my newest video, we debate. Kennedy complains that mainstream media won’t have him on—even to argue with him.  “Nobody will. None of them. They won’t have me on any of their networks.”  “I see why,” I reply. “You get into the weeds of vaccine science, and we feel not all of it’s true.” “If it’s not true,” Kennedy responds, “then argue with me, or post something afterward.” OK.  Here are three incorrect things Kennedy says: No. 1: “I was in Dimock, Pennsylvania, watching fire come out of a faucet from fracking. Every home in that neighborhood, they can light up a cigarette lighter under their faucet, turn their faucet on, and it’ll flame like a lighter. That’s from fracking.” No, it isn’t. A leftist documentary, “Gasland,” publicized flaming faucets and claimed fracking is the cause. But it’s not. Water is flammable in many places in America where no fracking is done. It happens because of naturally occurring gas, already in the ground.  Even the director of the Environmental Protection Agency during Barack Obama’s presidency said, “In no case have we made a definitive determination that the fracking process has caused chemicals to enter groundwater.” No. 2: Kennedy claims many vaccines do more harm than good. I ask, “If your kids were young now, would you give them the measles, mumps, rubella vaccine?”  “No,” he says, “Studies show that kids who get measles as a child are much healthier when they grow up … resistant to cancers, atopic diseases … ” I tell Kennedy, “You convinced people not to get the measles vaccine. An outbreak resulted in 83 deaths in Samoa.” “That story is not true,” he says. “Nobody died in Samoa from measles.” But the Samoan government and the Lancet medical journal report there were 83 deaths. Kennedy blames the deaths on bad vaccines, and two babies did die after being given incorrectly mixed vaccines. But Samoa’s response, after years of anti-vax messages, was worse: They pulled the measles vaccine. That’s what caused the 83 deaths. Now, Samoa vaccinates kids again. No. 3: Kennedy ties vaccines to autism.  “You still say that autism is caused by vaccines?” I ask. “Yeah,” he replies firmly. “Autism is caused by vaccines.” He points to unpublished data presented decades ago by a researcher named Verstraeten. “They looked at children who got the hepatitis B vaccine during their first 30 days and compared those to kids who got it later or didn’t get it at all. There was a 1,350% elevated risk for autism!” That was true, about the preliminary raw data. But in later analyses of the same data, Verstraeten made adjustments, and the vaccine-autism correlation went away. RFK doesn’t trust the adjustments. Even if he were right, the chemical in the vaccines (thimerosal) that Verstraeten looked at was discontinued in vaccines, except flu shots, decades ago. More thorough researchers have now studied the effects of modern vaccines and found no connection to autism. One study even looked at every child born in Denmark over 10 years and concluded that the MMR vaccine “does not increase the risk for autism.” “You ignore the big studies,” I tell him. “You have this wrong,” he insists.  Finally, Kennedy’s critics claim he makes things up. One told me, “Studies he cites won’t show what he says they show. The web is full of detailed explanations of why nearly every study he has cited is bogus or wildly misinterpreted by him.” I didn’t find that. I found that when Kennedy cites studies, he cites them accurately. But he misleads by ignoring bigger, better, more reliable studies. This does a grave disservice to his followers. Vaccines (most of them, anyway) reduce misery and save lives. Although Kennedy and I disagree about a lot, I’m grateful that he will debate.  All my career, I’ve debated people for my TV shows. Debate is one of the best ways to get closer to the truth. But today, activists and politicians hide from skeptical inquiry. Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy and Kennedy are rare exceptions. Good for them.  COPYRIGHT 2024 BY JFS PRODUCTIONS INC. We publish a variety of perspectives. Nothing written here is to be construed as representing the views of The Daily Signal.

Robin DiAngelo, the pro-DEI author of the bestselling book “White Fragility,” is a fraud. She’s also been accused of rampantly plagiarizing minority scholars in a scathing new report by The Washington Free Beacon. “According to a complaint filed last week with the University of Washington, where DiAngelo received her Ph.D. in multicultural education, she plagiarized several scholars—including two minorities—in her doctoral thesis,” the Beacon’s Aaron Sibarium reported. For those who are unaware, DiAngelo is one of the most prominent public faces of the “antiracism” movement. She, alongside fellow guru of antiracism Ibram X. Kendi, exploded in popularity during the 2020 “racial awakening” and Black Lives Matter-provoked protests. We will look back with embarrassment at the knowledge that well-paid faculty at our top academic medical centers told everyone that this woman's book was essential reading: pic.twitter.com/MLXI7cyr5H— Brent A. Williams, MD (@BrentAWilliams2) August 26, 2024 Kendi, who is black, has already been exposed as a snake oil salesman. His Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University imploded after raking in $43 million from donors and grants. The center produced virtually nothing, which is a good thing. Even The New York Times admitted that Kendi’s star was fading and that his center was bunk. Now DiAngelo, who is white, is being exposed too. DiAngelo’s writing generally follows the same basic rubric with which I concluded my review of her book “Nice Racism,” the follow-up to “White Fragility”: “Everything you do is racist. If you want to do something about it you need to buy these books, attend these lectures, pay these consultants, and only then you will have begun the process of purging racism from society.” DiAngelo’s books are essentially surface-level self-help guides for guilty white liberals with one of those “In this house, we believe …” signs in their yard.  I imagine that countless copies of her books sit unread on coffee tables so that liberals can demonstrate to their friends and neighbors that they are good comrades, er allies, fighting for the cause. If they actually bother to crack open DiAngelo’s works, they will find that her analysis is shallow at best and relies on the reader’s simply accepting the premise that American society is irredeemably racist in countless unseen ways. It looks like she’s going to have to put herself in the category of hopeless racists. The Free Beacon noted that on the “accountability” section of her website, DiAngelo notifies “fellow white people” that they must “always cite and give credit to the work of BIPOC people who have informed your thinking.” “BIPOC” means “black, indigenous, and other people of color.” Whenever a white person uses words or ideas that he or she got from a minority, DiAngelo wrote, “cite them.” Yet, according to the complaint and the Free Beacon’s reporting, DiAngelo lifted large parts of her 2004 University of Washington dissertation from a paper co-authored by Thomas Nakayama, an Asian American professor. She lifted a great deal from other authors too, sometimes using language that is extremely similar to the source. In the cases cited, she doesn’t use quotes and doesn’t make a direct citation. Those are definitely big no-nos. DiAngelo did reportedly include the works she lifted from in her bibliography for the dissertation, but generally that’s not good enough when copying a source so closely. “Though she cites all of her sources in her bibliography, DiAngelo omits quotation marks, footnotes, and other forms of attribution that would mark off her words from those of her sources,” Sibarium wrote in the Free Beacon. “And while a verbatim quote could have been copied accidentally, she often tweaks her sources’ prose—suggesting she is aware of what she is doing and intentionally misleading readers.” So, it’s not looking good for DiAngelo. Will her readers and supporters care? Maybe not, but it ramps up the pickle that academia finds itself in. DiAngelo leads with her credibility. She frequently is referred to, the Beacon notes, as a “Ph.D.” who acquired her degree from the University of Washington. Yet, DiAngelo along with many other pro-DEI academics apparently can’t follow the basic guidelines of citation that one assumes an elite scholar would have no problem with. It’s remarkable just how many left-wing academics—especially proponents of DEI—have been accused of rampant plagiarism in the past few years. Harvard President Claudine Gay, whose infamous testimony at a House hearing about antisemitism on campus put her in hot water, famously resigned after plagiarism accusations emerged. Other professors also have been hit with plagiarism allegations. The Left has cried foul, saying that these accusations—rarely rebutted—have been “weaponized” against its adherents.  But the issue creates a genuine dilemma for academia, which relies on the authority of its research to maintain a high status in society. Academics can’t simply dismiss these charges unless they are willing to risk letting the entire house of cards collapse. The truth is that the DEI/antiracism movement was never based on thorough research or an evenhanded assessment of American society. Sure, adherents sometimes point to studies and such, but even these often turn out to be bogus. Instead, the movement relied on ideology and emotion alongside a good deal of threats from institutions that really did weaponize DEI—diversity, equity, and inclusion—against dissenters. The wind has been taken out of their sails in recent years as the movement revealed itself to be discriminatory (by design, for those paying attention), divisive, counterproductive, and deeply unpopular. Elite institutions haven’t given up the DEI project, not by a long shot. But they are scrambling to rebrand their efforts to escape public scrutiny. That’s why it’s important to keep the pressure on, not only exposing the antiracist frauds such as DiAngelo, but insisting that institutions, corporations, and governments abandon the poisonous ideology they peddle. The Daily Signal reached out to the University of Washington about the plagiarism accusations, but the school did not immediately comment. The post Robin DiAngelo Is a Fraud. A New Report Claims She’s a Plagiarist, Too. appeared first on The Daily Signal.

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. Pavel Durov, the CEO of Telegram, has been unprecedentedly indicted by French authorities which are attempting to make him responsible for the actions of some of its almost 1 billion app users. The charges, announced on Wednesday, encompass a series of allegations suggesting illicit activities facilitated via the messaging app, including enabling illegal transactions and failing to cooperate with law enforcement. We obtained a copy of the announcement for you here. Pavel Durov was charged with the following: Complicity in administering an online platform to enable an illicit transaction, in an organized group (a crime punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment and a fine of €500,000) Refusal to communicate, upon request from the authorized authorities, the information or documents necessary for the performance and exploitation of interceptions authorized by law Complicity in offenses including the unjustified provision of a program or data designed to compromise an automated data processing system, organized distribution of pedo pornographic images of minors, drug trafficking, organized fraud, and forming a criminal association to commit crimes or offenses Money laundering of crimes or offenses in an organized group Providing cryptographic services intended to ensure confidentiality functions without proper declaration Provision and importation of cryptographic means not exclusively ensuring authentication or integrity control functions without prior declaration Durov was released on a €5 million bail, with strict conditions including a prohibition on leaving France and mandatory twice-weekly police visits. The Paris prosecutor’s office detailed the accusations, highlighting the alleged use of Telegram for transactions related to organized crime, including the distribution of child pornography and drug trafficking. This arrest marks a significant moment in the ongoing scrutiny of social networks’ roles in moderating content and cooperating with global law enforcement. The case against Durov began with a preliminary investigation launched in February, followed by arrest warrants issued in March for him and his brother Nikolai, revealing a complex web of legal challenges facing the tech entrepreneur. Durov’s legal representative, David-Olivier Kaminski, expressed dismay at the charges in a statement published by the Agence France Presse news agency. “The only statement I’d wish to make is that Telegram is in conformity with every aspect of European norms on digital matters,” he said. “It is absurd to think that the head of a social network is being charged.” If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net.

MSNBC Issues Correction After Claiming Joe Rogan Was Praising Kamala Harris

After nearly 40 days of no interviews or press conferences, Kamala Harris has finally decided to grace CNN’s Dana Bash with her presence in a safe, pre-taped two-on-one interview featuring VP pick Tim Walz. The Harris team certainly knew what they were doing when they selected Bash for this job; she’s been one of TV news’s most persistent Biden White House defenders, and her interviews with Democrats almost always include a handful of softballs and non-questions. Bash surprised just about everyone during the first (and only) presidential debate between Biden and Trump. Despite their obvious disdain for the former President, both Bash and co-moderator Jake Tapper were remarkably reserved. They never interrupted either candidate with unsolicited “fact checks,” they allowed both men roughly the same amount of speaking time, and they even had a few tough questions for President Biden. This upcoming Harris event, however, could be a different story. In interviews like the one planned for Thursday, the journalist is supposed to play the role of the stand-in opponent, pressing the candidate on their policy stances, their vision, and perhaps even their past gaffes. In this kind of role, Bash has a much longer record for us to examine, and it’s not stellar. Here's a sampling: Bash is prone to asking Democrats questions that sound like hardballs for Republicans. For example, she recently teed up Commerce Secretary Pete Buttigieg to excoriate Republican VP Candidate JD Vance’s  “childless cat ladies” comment (“What’s your response to that?”). She played the same game with Senator Laphonza Butler (D-CA) on August 4 of this year, offering her guest free rein to lambast Trump for his comments about Harris’s ethnicity: The former president falsely claimed that the Vice President, quote, “happened to turn black,” for political reasons… You are the only black woman right now serving in the U.S. Senate. You have known the Vice President for a long time. What do you make of all this? While Bash’s bias is obvious during interviews, outside of them it borders on absurd. In March of this year, CNN’s Inside Politics ran a full segment about President Biden’s March Madness bracket, of all things. “President Biden has entered the March Madness chat,” Bash announced excitedly, then asked correspondent Coy Wire, “What do you make of the President’s bracket?” Back when Jack Smith was still the shining hope of pro-Democrat journalists everywhere, Bash wasted an entire segment of her show cooing over “new and exclusive CNN video of the Special Counsel at Subway.” As in, the sandwich shop. She continued: CNN’s Evan Perez was there, trying to track down the Special Counsel. I won’t ask you about all of the less important things about what he got and how he paid, and all that. But what is important is the imagery here. They clearly wanted us to see him. While she’s not subtle about her partisan loyalties, there is admittedly another side to Bash: the one we saw back in late June who defied expectations and delivered a surprisingly fair Trump/Biden debate. Which version of CNN’s Dana Bash will show up on Thursday to speak with Vice President Harris and her emotional support Governor? Only time will tell.

In case anyone actually cares, washed up former CNN host Don Lemon wrote another book… about himself. Since he can’t seem to find anyone who wants to read it, he decided to litter the streets of New York City with this latest piece of garbage: “I’m going to hide more books all around NYC,” wrote Don Lemon, above a video posted on X with the caption “Who will find my unreleased book first?” I'm going to hide more books all around NYC ?? pic.twitter.com/6MSIte2ehB — Don Lemon (@donlemon) August 28, 2024 The ten-second clip shows him propping up one of his books on a traffic pole outside Radio City Music Hall, before scampering away like a giddy child. In typical fashion of an out-of-touch A-lister, he was completely blindsided by the tsunami of X users ratioing him with comments like these: They are all still there. Nobody wants them. Not even the homeless to wipe their ass. — Oreo Express Normal/Not Mentally Ill (@OreoExpress) August 28, 2024 It’s pretty hypocritical of a climate hysteric to litter, as many people have pointed out. littering is a crime https://t.co/MyI6FF8P3H — Tim Pool (@Timcast) August 28, 2024 It never ceases to amaze me how New Yorkers think it’s perfectly acceptable to just dump their garbage on the side of the road.pic.twitter.com/fMHUTqEX2U — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) August 28, 2024 So, if you happen to be walking down the streets of NYC anytime soon, trip over something next to a pile of hobo droppings and see Don Lemon’s moody headshot above the words “I Once Was Lost,” congratulations! You are one of the lucky winners of Don's word garbage. Like all his other autobiographies, this is a novel about how Lemon is a black, gay victim of oppression, despite having a $12 million net worth. He is likely still outside now, hiding behind the corner, desperately waiting for someone to come read it.

French-Russian entrepreneur Pavel Durov founded Telegram in 2013, following Russia’s crackdown on pro-democracy protests in 2011. Now one of the largest communication tools in the world, Telegram uses encryption, similar to Signal, to prevent bad actors — whether individuals or corrupt governments — from tracking your communications. Telegram is central to everyday life in places like Russia, Ukraine, and India. In fact, Russia had a problem with the app because Ukrainians were using it for military communications. That’s how secure the encryption is. You would expect societies that claim to champion freedom of speech and privacy to embrace this app, while totalitarian governments that want to control their people's private communication would do everything they could to ban it. Yet it wasn’t Russia, Iran, or China that targeted Durov — it was France. They are coming for Musk, they are coming for Rumble, and they are coming for you. This is not about your digital safety. It is about their quest for power. Authorities arrested Durov at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris earlier this week. The Russian embassy in Paris demanded an explanation from the French government. In response, the French government stated that Durov “was detained by the National Anti-fraud Office over the alleged facilitation of various crimes, including terrorism, narcotics, trafficking, and fraud.” They further accuse him of “allowing an incalculable number of offenses and crimes to be committed” on Telegram “for which he did nothing.” In short, they are charging Durov as an accomplice to the crimes others have committed while using his app. In the United States, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act protects social media companies from being charged as accomplices to most crimes committed on their platforms. Though French and European law doesn’t fall under Section 230, their double standard for platforms that comply with their censorship campaigns is clear. For example, “60 Minutes” reports that New Mexico's attorney general is accusing Meta and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg of enabling child sex abuse and trafficking on its sites. According to the attorney general’s undercover investigation, Facebook and Instagram's algorithms created a marketplace for the sexual exploitation of children, and Meta enabled adults to find, message, and groom minors, soliciting them to sell pictures or participate in pornographic videos. Will France hold Mark Zuckerberg accountable for enabling child pornography on his platform? Why was Durov arrested for crimes that Meta has repeatedly been proven to facilitate? Could it be because Durov’s product counters government censorship, while Meta has openly complied with it? Europe has been rapidly metastasizing into a global center for censorship, and the EU's Digital Services Act was the final nail in the coffin of what’s left of free speech on the continent. George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley rightly called the Digital Services Act “one of the greatest threats to free speech that we have today around the world,” forcing social media companies to flag and report content that the EU deems harmful. Shielded in dull, bureaucratic language, the Digital Services Act empowers the globalist EU government to censor any speech as it sees fit. It emboldens people like Margrethe Vestager, a Danish politician serving as executive vice president of the European Commission for “A Europe Fit for the Digital Age,” to threaten Elon Musk’s X with fines for refusing to comply with its censorship packaged as EU “guidelines." Durov’s arrest has scared the CEOs of other pro-free speech platforms, and rightly so. Rumble founder and CEO Chris Pavlovski said, “I’m a little late to this, but for good reason — I’ve just safely departed from Europe. France has threatened Rumble, and now they have crossed a red line by arresting Telegram’s CEO, Pavel Durov, reportedly for not censoring speech.” “Rumble will not stand for this behavior and will use every legal means available to fight for freedom of expression, a universal human right,” Pavlovski added. “We are currently fighting in the courts of France, and we hope for Pavel Durov’s immediate release.” Elon Musk is also concerned. “It is vital to the support of free speech that you forward X posts to people you know, especially in censorship-heavy countries,” he posted on X (formerly Twitter). He's saying that X posts are going to be hidden in countries like France, and the only way you can see them is if a person from a non-censored country directly sends them to you. Is Facebook held to this standard of censorship too? Alexander Vindman, who was a key witness against Donald Trump in his first impeachment trial, said this in response to Durov’s arrest: While Durov holds French citizenship, is arrested for violating French law, this has broader implications for other social media, including Twitter. There’s a growing intolerance for platforming disinfo [and] malign influence [and] a growing appetite for accountability. Musk should be nervous. That’s a threat, coming from a Democratic candidate for Congress no less. Is there really a growing intolerance for platforming “disinformation”? There may be within the elite ruling class but not with the American people. This year at Blaze Media, we are breaking multiple records in our company’s history. We have a bigger impact now than when I was at Fox News. This is especially astonishing given our Facebook numbers. We can’t get any traction on Facebook, but this is not a new battle. It always silences our voice, and your voice, during an election season. And it’s only going to get worse. Durov’s arrest is not an isolated issue. We have felt the rumblings of Europe's seismic shift toward censorship for years, but Durov’s arrest is the first major crack in the ground. The ruling elites want you to fall through the cracks along with him until they and their cronies are the only ones left above ground. They are coming for Musk, they are coming for Rumble, and they are coming for you. This is not about your digital safety. It is about their quest for power. Want more from Glenn Beck?

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has already come under fire for lying about “going to war,” which he did not. Now, he’s once again been caught lying — and his integrity is looking thin to nonexistent. When he launched his campaign for U.S. Congress in 2006, Walz had boasted in his public biography that he was named the Outstanding Young Nebraskan by the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce. “That was nice,” Pat Gray of “Pat Gray Unleashed” comments. “Except, it’s just not true.” “According to the article,” he continues, “it was a small lie about a minor honor.” The Outstanding Young Nebraskan honor can apparently still be found in an archived version on his campaign website, though it’s still untrue. Even the president of the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce wrote to Walz to object. He reportedly said, “It has come to my attention that as part of your campaign for U.S. Congress, you’ve posted your biography on your website that claims you received an award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce for your service to the business community. We researched this matter and can confirm that you have not been the recipient of any award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce.” The Chamber had actually endorsed Walz’s opponent, Gil Gutknecht, a Republican incumbent who had held the seat since 1995. Walz’s campaign manager claimed that he’d actually won an award from the Junior Chamber of Commerce and that the mistake was a “typographical error.” Gutknecht ended up losing to Walz in 2006 and spoke to the Washington Free Beacon that year. He told them that “it fits a pattern of misleading and fabricated statements he has made throughout his political and personal life.” “He’s flat-out lying through his communist teeth,” Gray says, noting that Walz also lied about being a beneficiary of in vitro fertilization. “The excuse that the campaign used then was ‘Oh Governor Walz just talks how normal people talk. He was using commonly understood shorthand for fertility treatments,’” Gray continues, adding, “No, what he’s using there is a lie.” Want more from Pat Gray?To enjoy more of Pat's biting analysis and signature wit as he restores common sense to a senseless world, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
