California Imposes a "Jock Tax" on Super Bowl Players
California has become a separate country. This hellhole state has its own immigration
policy via sanctuary cities and now it has imposed a duty, or jock tax, on
professional athletes who have the misfortune of playing there.
Since the Super Bowl will be held in
Santa Clara, California this year, the visiting teams will end up paying the
“jock tax.” The jock tax is a tax levied on professional athletes. States base
this taxation of a player’s yearly income, which they then apply a duty day
calculation, which looks at the ratio of duty days spent in-state against total
duty days in a year. Because athletes from both Super Bowl teams have to spend
several days in California for the event, they will all have to pay an
obscenely high tax rate based on their entire year’s income!
Each member of the winning team will
receive a $102,000 check from the NFL, members of the losing team will each
receive $51,000 just for participating. This leaves those highly paid stars
like Quarterback Cam Newton, who signed a five-year $103.8 million dollar
contract last summer, in the red, according to Forbes.
He will owe California a total of $159,560 in taxes in 2016 just
if they win and $159,200 if they lose, based on Forbes’ calculations, which
factors 11 of the Panthers’ 206 “duty days” in 2016 taking place in California.
If Cam Newton is upset after losing the
Super Bowl can you imagine when he gets California’s tax bill?

NARAL: Hey Doritos, Stop Humanizing Fetuses!
Abortion fanatics at NARAL can find humor in selling
baby parts, but not in a Doritos commercial they say amounts to “humanizing
fetuses.” These people have a serious
Mengele complex.
NARAL
#NotBuyingIt - that @Doritos ad using #antichoice tactic of humanizing fetuses & sexist tropes of dads as clueless & moms as uptight. #SB50

Black Whiners Matter
The storyline remains the same: white people are
privileged and blacks are oppressed.
This narrative is a surprise to an overwhelming majority of white
people. I can honestly say, no one has
handed me a blank check because of my skin color, nor have I received something
for nothing. I work for a living. I earn my keep.
So I find it perplexing when prosperous and pampered
blacks feel the need to liken themselves to slaves while earning millions of
dollars for basically doing nothing. Whoopi
Goldberg sees herself as a bonded woman as reported by the Inquisitr:
The
insider believes Goldberg is doing this to push execs of ABC to cut her from
the program so she can be paid without doing her work. “She knows if they did
fire her, they’d have to pay out her contract and she’d be paid $5 million for
doing nothing.”
“Whoopi
loves the money, but she doesn’t want to work so hard anymore,” the source
declared. “She doesn’t come in prepared, she doesn’t really engage with other
panelists and guests. She gives some one-liners and moves on.”
Does
Whoopi Goldberg believe she’s a federal government employee? They’re the only ones I know of who can get
away with that kind of crap.
I
can honestly say I didn’t make the political connection with the Black Lives
Matter crowd during Beyonce’s Super Bowl 50 performance. Her outfit and choreography was reputedly a demonstration of solidarity with this movement and the Black Panthers.
I personally don't care. But what I do find amusing is her celebrity
afforded her something very few people get a chance to experience and that
is a police escort to the Super Bowl.
Should
these people have a new slogan? How
about: Black Whiners Matter.

Gluten-Free Weenies Part of America's Problem
I want to thank the politically correct crowd for
this gluten-free nonsense. I bought a
loaf of wheat bread for 88 cents at Wal-Mart.
That’s right Wal-Mart. I haven’t
seen bread this cheap in years!
I have a question.
Does being gluten-free require one to be humor-free as well? NBC pulled an ad that was supposed to have
aired during the Super Bowl.
NEW YORK, Feb. 3
(UPI) -- Over 18,000 people signed a petition asking NBC
to remove an ad for its NASCAR programming originally run during Super Bowl
XLIX in which Parks and Recreation star Nick Offerman says, "When our idea of
danger is eating gluten, there's trouble afoot."
"They pulled the GoDaddy spot for puppies," the petition's author, known only as "Gluten Dude" told Ad Week.
"We're talking about human beings here."
In the petition, Gluten Dude laments NBC's campaign "implies that we're soft," "weak" and "part of America's problem," further stigmatizing those with celiac disease.
Well, Gluten Dude, your whining and belly aching
has proven that you are “soft,” “weak,” and "part of America’s problem." And it has
nothing to do with celiac disease.

God Made the Farmer. Progressives Created the Teat Squawker
Dodge Ram had the best Super Bowl ad of the year. Their use of Paul Harvey’s commentary on the
American farmer struck true for all who were fortunate enough to work on farms when
they were kids. God did make the
farmer. And the farmer created the
American work ethic.
Then the Progressives came, and they created the
teat squawker. It took awhile for the
population to become entranced by that engorged government areola, but these
totalitarians knew what they were doing.
The urbanites were the easiest to enslave. Then they went after the farmer. Government subsidies seduced these hardy
souls, opening the door for the all consuming blackness that would corrupt
their communities. Then the Department
of Labor forbade the neighbor kid from working on his farm, further
deteriorating the American work ethic.
And now, they’re using specious science such as global warming to
de-Americanize our youth:
Want
to reduce the effects of global warming? Stop working so hard. Working fewer
hours might help slow global warming, according to a new study released Monday
by the Center for Economic Policy and Research.
A
worldwide switch to a "more European" work schedule, which includes
working fewer hours and more vacation time, could prevent as much as half of
the expected global temperature rise by 2100, according to the analysis, which
used a 2012 study that found shorter work hours could be associated with lower
carbon emissions.
The
Center for Economic Policy and Research is a liberal think tank based in
Washington.
"The
relationship between [shorter work and lower emissions] is complex and clearly
understood, but it is understandable that lowering levels of consumption,
holding everything else constant, would reduce greenhouse gas emissions,"
writes economist David Rosnick, author of the study. Rosnick says some of that
reduction can be attributed to fewer operating hours in factories and other
workplaces that consume high levels of energy.
Yes,
Mr. Harvey, God made the American farmer.
But the Devil created the Progressives.
