Democrats Turn to Unconstitutional Exit Taxes After Their Policies Drove the Wealthy Out of Blue States

Democrats believe all our money belongs to them. They believe they have the moral and legal authority to take the money we earn and redistribute it to their preferred constituencies, while ignoring (or even facilitating) massive fraud and enriching themselves in the process.  Advertisement With the news of massive fraud scandals in Minnesota and California, it’s clear we don’t have a revenue problem; we have a fraud problem, and we’d bet the majority of our deficit could be erased if we eliminated fraud.

But Democrats don’t have any interest in doing that. They just keep taxing people more and more to make up for their fiscal mismanagement.  And when they raise taxes, the people who can afford to move from those blue states to tax-friendlier red states. That leaves the blue states with even more self-inflicted budget woes. Rather than roll back wealth taxes, Democrats have decided to tax the people even more in the form of an exit tax, and that concept is gaining traction in blue states.

House Democrats call on Eric Swalwell to drop out of California governor race amid sexual assault allegations

House Democratic leadership on Friday called on Rep. Eric Swalwell to drop out of the race for California governor in the wake of allegations that he sexually assaulted a former staffer. Swalwell denied the allegations and called them “false.”

In a statement Friday night, House Democratic leaders called for a “swift investigation” into the allegations and for Swalwell to immediately end his campaign. They called for accountability, but stopped short of urging him to resign from Congress. 

“This is unacceptable of anyone — certainly not an elected official — and must be taken seriously,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York, Whip Katherine Clark of Massachusetts and Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar of California said. “All perpetrators of sexual assault and harassment must be held accountable.”

Swalwell threatened to take legal action against the woman, who detailed the alleged encounters to the San Francisco Chronicle, which published a story Friday. 

The woman, who was not named, said Swalwell started pursuing her shortly after she was hired to work in his district office in Castro Valley in 2019. She alleged he sent her inappropriate photos of himself via Snapchat, requested nude photos of her and asked her to perform oral sex on him in a parking lot. She also alleged that after going out for drinks with Swalwell in September 2019, she woke up naked in his hotel bed with little recollection of the night.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), who is also running for governor of California, was trying to present himself as a victim of political persecution. The FBI is collecting documents related to his interactions with a woman known as Fang Fang, who was suspected of being a Chinese spy, and may be preparing them for public release. Swalwell acknowledged that the timing seems suspicious, suggesting he is playing the victim.

Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., sided with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on lifting the suspension of the flight crew involved in a helicopter flyover at Kid Rock’s Nashville mansion over the weekend and said he didn’t want to see the pilots punished. “Thank you Kid Rock,” Hegseth posted on X Tuesday afternoon. “US Army pilots suspension lifted. No punishment. No investigation. Carry on, patriots.”  The U.S. Army aircrew was previously suspended from flight duties pending an investigation into Saturday’s helicopter stunt. 

FEDERAL JUDGE GRILLS DOJ LAWYERS OVER CENSURE OF DEMOCRATIC SENATOR MS NOW host Willie Geist asked Kelly, a veteran Navy pilot, to react to the move by Hegseth on Wednesday’s “Morning Joe.” “I’m not a Kid Rock fan. You know, I — at the same time, I mean, I don’t see why we would, you know, punish these guys,” Kelly said. “Some, you know, young pilots in — whether it’s an Apache or there were times, you know, I did stuff in airplanes that probably wasn’t the smartest thing to do.”

Democrats decry ‘smear’ as Trump FBI pushes for release of Eric Swalwell file

The Trump administration has reportedly been pushing to release records from an FBI investigation related to Eric Swalwell and alleged links to a Chinese agent as the Democratic congressman makes gains in the California governor’s race. The Washington Post reported on Saturday, citing “three people familiar with the effort”, that the FBI director, Kash Patel, is pushing to release the files, even though there is no public evidence of wrongdoing on Swalwell’s part.

The records stem from a decade-old investigation into a suspected spy who had developed relationships with US politicians and assisted Swalwell with fundraising. An FBI official previously said Swalwell was cooperative with the investigation and was not suspected of wrongdoing. He cut off contact with the woman after speaking to the FBI. The profile of Swalwell, an outspoken critic of Donald Trump who served as a congressional manager during the president’s second impeachment trial, has risen as the contest for California governor takes shape. The field of candidates to replace Gavin Newsom is crowded, with at least eight Democrats, including Swalwell, and two Republicans.
