Reparations Campaigners Have a New Proposal: No Tax for Black People

Activists who campaign for reparations for black people have come up with a new idea for how such compensation can be delivered. MailOnline reports that campaigners in Chicago have already placed billboards demanding $6,000 relief on property taxes that are notoriously high across the city. 

Among the issues raised by the billboards is the plight of Empire star Terrence Howard, who was forced to pay $1 million in backtaxes after refusing to honor years worth of payments over his belief that it is "immoral" to tax the descendants of slaves.

One of the campaign's leaders is former MSNBC Tiffany Cross, who argued on her podcast this week that tax breaks were the answer and that Howard was right to defraud the taxpayer. "This brother was making a legitimate point," Cross said. "I don't know how we would make this happen, but I would be completely down for some sort of policy that says 'Yes, you are exempt from paying taxes.'"

Also campaigning on the issue is the organization Reconstruction Era Reparations Act Now, whose leader Howard Ray Jr. has pointed out that many black people in Chicago have been evicted from their homes. Calls for reparations for the legacy of slavery have become increasingly mainstream over the past decade, with elected lawmakers, including Rep. Jamaal Bowman, openly supporting the redistribution of public funds to one specific racial group.

Meanwhile, the state of California has come up with various recommendations to pay out $800 billion dollars in reparations, dwarfing the state's annual budget, as well as various amendments to the constitution effectively guaranteeing black people a superior status within American society. Even California Gov. Gavin Newsom has stated his opposition to the plans.

Chuck Schumer Calls for Regime Change in Israel From the U.S. Senate Floor

It's been reported for more than a week that the United States is actively seeking to enact regime change in Israel. The most recent effort sought to destroy the coalition that elected Benjamin Netanyahu as Prime Minister by actively supporting Netanyahu's rival Benny Gantz's opposition party, and that looks to have failed pretty hard.

When that plot was made public, Netanyahu's government hit back with a stern statement saying they expect their friends (the United States) to focus on overthrowing Hamas, not the Israeli government, and that only the Israeli citizens have a say in who is Prime Minister, through elections.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) took that to mean that the United States should now advocate for new elections in Israel, to give Netanyahu the boot, and argued that on the floor of the Senate Thursday.

Schumer's speech is stunning for a few reasons.

First, we usually keep our attempts at regime change a little less public.

Second, it reveals Schumer's evil focus on keeping Netanyahu from quickly and decisively winning this war and obliterating the rapists and child murderers of Hamas.

Third, it shows that despite all evidence that a two-state solution will never work, Schumer is still invested in using the United States government to make that happen.
