They aren’t “correcting” anything, they are altering the written record of what he actually said. As far as I’m concerned such transcripts are official records and changing them is tantamount to falsification of govt documents/records.

Why is this even allowed? Sure, they can announce “He said XYZ, but he meant to say ABC” and even put a “footnote” reference to what the puppet was supposed to say but didn’t/couldn’t/wouldn’t for whatever reason. The fact is though he said what he said and a “Transcript” should be an accurate written record of what WAS said,


I have a LOT of experience with transcripts and transcribing audio recordings. No way would my employer or a court ever accept a transcript from me that captured what was meant vs what was said on the recording.






What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???

Agree. The Republican-led House or somebody should object or file a lawsuit or complaint.

“The Laptop is Real”: Justice Department Denounces Claims of Russian Disinformation as a Biden “Conspiracy Theory”

https://jonathanturley.org/202...n-conspiracy-theory/

“The defendant’s laptop is real.” With those words and pictures like this one of Biden using crack, the Justice Department introduced the Hunter Biden laptop as evidence in his upcoming trial over federal gun violations. The federal prosecutors went on to denounce suggestions of Russian disinformation, long peddled by the Bidens, the media and former intelligence officials, as nothing more than a “conspiracy theory.”

The media eagerly spread the claim of Russian disinformation before the presidential election. Twitter and others suppressed the story. This was done through one of the most skillful disinformation campaigns in history.

It later came out that associates of the Biden campaign (including now Secretary of State Antony Blinken) pushed a long effort to get former intelligence officials to sign a letter making the claim, knowing that an ever-accommodating media would accept the claim without question or further inquiry.

At the time, some of us wrote that the laptop was “self-authenticating” since many of the emails were confirmed by third parties and other evidence. The Justice Department last week made the same claim of “self-authentication” as well as independent confirmation by federal investigators.

In the now-debunked letter of former intelligence officials just before the election, figures such as Leon Panetta, former CIA Director in the Obama Administration, claimed that the letter had all of the markings of a Russian disinformation effort by intelligence services. (Panetta continued to make the assertion late last year in pushing what the federal government is now calling a “conspiracy theory.”).

The Washington Post’s Phillip Bump and others also continued to push the conspiracy theory. Indeed, in 2021, when media organizations were finally admitting that the laptop was authentic, Bump was still declaring that it was a “conspiracy theory.” Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Bump continued to suggest that “the laptop was seeded by Russian intelligence.”

What is equally astonishing is that in 2023 the Post expressly stood by Bump’s reporting on the laptop and other debunked claims. Even after the government has declared this reporting as part of a “conspiracy theory,” the Post continues to support the reporting by Bump and others.

The laptop includes not just pictures of Hunter using drugs but brandishing a handgun. The court clearly agrees with the government on the authenticity of the laptop. It has ruled against the defense and will allow it to be introduced into evidence.

Despite the conclusions of American intelligence and others, the Biden team continued to push the disinformation. That led the Justice Department to tell the court that “The defendant’s theory about the laptop is a conspiracy theory with no supporting evidence.” It added that Hunter’s “laptop is real (it will be introduced as a trial exhibit) and it contains significant evidence of the defendant’s guilt.”

The response from the media has been a collective shrug. Worse yet, many of these same political and media figures continue to support censorship and government regulations of “disinformation” while the government is now acknowledging that they carried off one of the most successful disinformation campaigns in history.

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris issued statements over Memorial Day weekend on the death of George Floyd, stating that he “should be alive.”

The statements from Biden and Harris came on the fourth anniversary of the death of Floyd, whose death on May 25, 2020, while in police custody, led to nationwide protests and riots.

biden:

"George Floyd should be alive. He deserved so much more.

Today, I join all those who loved him and all those touched by the civil rights movement he inspired in remembering the tragedy and injustice of his death.

He changed the world.

Now, let's act in his memory."

kamala harris:

“To honor his memory, President Biden and I reaffirm our commitment to building a justice system that lives up to its name,” Harris wrote. “While we have made progress, we still have more work to do — including passing the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.”

Oddly enough, he would have been if he didn't have sufficient drugs in his body to kill himself and every officer on the scene.

Joe Biden makes surprise nighttime visit to Hunter’s ex Hallie Biden days before she testifies in first son’s gun trial

https://nypost.com/2024/05/27/...ter-biden-gun-trial/

President Biden made a surprise nighttime visit to the Delaware home of Hallie Biden on Sunday — just before she’s due to serve as one of the most important witnesses at first son Hunter Biden’s federal trial for alleged gun crimes.

Biden stopped by Hallie’s home around 8 p.m. for a brief private talk eight days before the 54-year-old first son’s trial is scheduled to stand trial beginning June 3.

Hallie dated Hunter at the time of his alleged gun crimes and is one of a dozen expected witnesses.

She was married to the president’s son Beau Biden, who died in 2015 of brain cancer, before her relationship with his troubled younger brother.

How Biden's Capital Gains Tax hike will 'crush' the economy and what it means for your money

By JAMES CIRRONE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

PUBLISHED: 12:25 EDT, 27 May 2024 | UPDATED: 15:41 EDT, 27 May 2024



The President has outlined plans to increase the top marginal rate on long-term capital gains and qualified dividends from 23.8 percent to 44.6 percent.

Capital gains tax is paid on investments that have increased in value in the time between them being bought and sold - for example, stocks, properties or cryptocurrencies.

Under the Biden proposal, eleven states would end up paying over 50 percent in capital gains levies when combined with state taxes. High tax states such as New York, California and Hawaii will be harder hit.

Ted Jenkin, CEO of oXYGen Financial, warned that the planned increases will go into effect at the same time critical tax cuts brought in by Trump will also expire. Jenkin explained those two factors would 'crush' the economy as Americans race to sell up their assets in advance.

'If these new policies take effect when the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 expires at the end of 2025, we will be staring down a barrel in 2025 of millions of Americans selling off their highly appreciated stock positions at today’s long-term capital gains rates versus paying double in 2026,' Jenkin wrote in an op-ed for Fox Business.

This means the November presidential election could determine how much taxes Americans will be required to pay when they sell assets.

Trump's tax cuts lowered individual income tax rates, almost doubled the standard deduction and raised the federal estate tax exemption.

Income tax brackets will revert to the higher pre-2017 levels when the current law expires on January 1, 2026 - affecting most taxpayers. Biden has not yet signaled whether he will extend these breaks if he remains in power.

Massive stock sell offs, like the one Jenkin is predicting, have caused numerous market tumbles in the past, including the crash in 1929 that preceded the Great Depression.

About 58 percent of US households owned stocks in 2022, according to the Federal Reserve's most recent survey of consumer finances. That's up from 53 percent in 2019, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Stock ownership has jumped in recent years in part thanks to a booming market.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500, two US major stock indices that track the overall market, have more than doubled in value since the initial stock market crash at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Still, stock ownership in the US is almost completely skewed toward those with higher incomes.

The richest 10 percent of taxpayers own 93 percent of stock market wealth, according to Federal Reserve data, whereas the poorest 50 percent owned just 1 percent of stocks.

Not all investors will be paying Biden's ultra-high 44.6 percent capital gains rate if they sell a stock.

The capital gains tax brackets are progressive, just like income tax brackets.

If a single person with a $47,025 income or less has long-term capital gains - for example, they sold a stock after owning it for a year - they will pay an effective zero percent rate in the 2024 tax year, according to Bankrate.

The rate increases to 15 percent for those making $47,026 to $518,900. Above that, a single tax filer can expect to pay a 20 percent rate.

Business owners would also be hard hit by the new Biden rules, according to Jenkin, which could cause downstream effects such as people losing their jobs.

'What you could see as an outcome with the suggested long-term capital gain rate rules is business owners much more aggressively putting their companies on the market for sale to pay fewer taxes,' Jenkin wrote.

He continued: 'This could also have a significant trickle-down effect on people losing their jobs as smaller companies consolidate into larger ones and could also stagnate the germination of new businesses as the upside potential to take on financial, legal and personal risk may not give entrepreneurs the excitement to launch businesses like they have in the past.'

Biden's proposed budget also revises how inherited assets would be taxed.

Under current law, when someone transfers property after death, it isn't generally considered a taxable gain for income tax purposes, Forbes reported.

Biden's proposal would reverse that, making the death a realized gain for the person inheriting the assets.

Notably, this excludes those of $5 million or less.

For all of these changes to come to fruition, two separate proposals would need to pass in the final 2025 budget.

And Biden will have to win the 2024 election. The latest polling average from RealClearPolitics has Trump up 1.1 percentage points on Biden.

As of now, Trump hasn't proposed any major changes to the capital gains tax system.
