Dang it! That wasn’t intended!
Funny now that the donations are reaching such high levels, there are libs that are saying that she needs to donate the money to some worthy charity.
That’s strange. Libs usually want money to go through some government entity where 40 - 60% is skimmed off the top and the rest is piped into some pseudo charity (such as “The Tide Foundation”) ran by a politician’s wife.
“He’s describing an America that disappeared around 1980. I don’t see it ever coming back”
Of course you’re right.
That “traditional America” of the recent past is gradually disappearing behind us, in many places. Once gone, it will be all-but impossible to restore.
The only cultural “restoration” possible for traditional-minded Euro-Americans will be to “escape” — to flee to those remaining portions of America where they can re-segregate themselves into “conservative homelands” and re-establish a culture that is reminiscent of, say, the early 1950’s.
Think of it as a cultural version of “Going Galt”...
There seemed to be server balkiness earlier today.
Cultural cloisters, so to speak.
The world tells you to be cosmopolitan. God says there are some parts of the cosmos it makes no sense to be a “politan” of, if you have a choice — and ultimately you should be a stranger, a mere visitor, to the entire fallen creation.
Harsh parental attitudes aren’t necessarily needed in order to have children who are thoughtful. It’s having and putting your confidence in something that gives positive meaning to life, and ultimately only God suffices. The noblest efforts of man fall short and can be perverted. God might be misunderstood, but God doesn’t change.
When parents stopped spanking kids, this is what we wind up with”””
No discipline at home or in the schools.
No consequences for their actions—no matter what.
Don’t ‘keep score’ at the game & give everyone a trophy for ‘participating’. PUKE!!!
Grading on the CURVE!!!! That makes the high score of 70 in the class an “A” & everything gets scored proportionately down from there. A class of dummies who will never acheive anything.....
I guarantee I won’t be ‘grading them on the curve’ when they are my employee!!!
I could go on and on...
You all can fill in more blanks.
Many of today’s kids need to be removed from the gene pool, IMO.
[I]f Klein accepted $500,000 all at once, she would have to set aside 45% of those funds for tax purposes
Way to go IRS! Show ‘em how to really abuse a G’maw.”””
I am not so sure of that:
None of the DONATIONS to her were over $12,000, which is the limit for tax-free GIFT GIVING.
Clearly, everyone who donated to her were GIVING A GIFT of their own free will.
She did NOTHING to EARN this money-—she was only a target of bullies who need to leave the gene pool.
I don’t think this is a taxable event in any way, shape or form.
She needs a good tax attorney right now.
IF I hit with one of my Lottery tickets, that IS taxable-—because I deliberately bought the ticket with expectations. I did an over act & gambled my money.
She did nothing of the sort.
I say every dime is hers & is all tax free.
