Today’s Dem’s Fascism at Work with Joaquin Castro

Will Joaquin Castro return all those donations he took from the Trump donors he doxxed?

by  Monica Showalter  at  American Thinker:

Congress’s sleaziest unjailed doxxer, Rep. Joaquin Castro of Texas, went and “outed” 44 Republican local San Antonio–based donors to President Trump’s re-election campaign.  He got a lot of flak for it, of course.  But instead of apologizing for his obvious effort to incite harassment of his own locals for exercising their constitutional right to participate in political campaigns, he doubled down with this unmitigated dreck:

My post was a lament – that so many people in my overwhelmingly Hispanic hometown would give large money to a President who is using it to target Hispanics as ‘invaders’.

No one was doxxed — no private address or phone #s were shared. I’ve never engaged in that.@Morning_Joe

✔@JoaquinCastrotx

No one was targeted or harassed in my post. You know that. All that info is routinely published.

You’re trying to distract from the racism that has overtaken the GOP and the fact that President Trump spends donor money on thousands of ads about Hispanics “invading” America. 1/2 https://twitter.com/kevinomccarthy/status/1158840773435154433 …

Targeting and harassing Americans because of their political beliefs is shameful and dangerous. What happened to “when they go low, we go high?” Or does that no longer matter when your brother is polling at 1%? Americans deserve better. https://twitter.com/Castro4Congress/status/1158576680182718464 …

Anyone who believes that Castro is capable of a “lament” is out to lunch.  His series of tweets were pure malevolence, worsened by a barrage of bald-faced lies trying to make himself look like the good guy.

It all went swimmingly for him, too.  Until Fox News turned up an uncomfortable fact:

EXCLUSIVE: Trump donors whose names and employers were posted in a highly controversial tweet by Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro blasted the Texas congressman on Wednesday for what they described as a “ridiculous” stunt and, in interviews with Fox News, rejected his claim that they are “fueling a campaign of hate” against Hispanics.

One of those Trump donors even revealed he’s also been a supporter of local Democratic lawmakers — including Castro himself.

And the Washington Examiner found out that there were six of them:

In attempting to embarrass constituents who donated to President Trump, Texas congressman Joaquin Castro appears to have overlooked the fact that six of those he named also gave cash to him and his twin brother, 2020 Democrat Julián Castro.

Joaquin Castro on Monday drew a torrent of criticism when the Twitter account operated by his reelection campaign listed 44 residents of San Antonio who donated the maximum amount to President Trump’s campaign for reelection so far this year.

“Sad to see so many San Antonians as 2019 maximum donors to Donald Trump — the owner of ⁦@BillMillerBarBQ⁩, owner of the ⁦@HistoricPearl, realtor Phyllis Browning, etc⁩.” the Monday tweet said. “Their contributions are fueling a campaign of hate that labels Hispanic immigrants as ‘invaders.'”

So after declaring these donors as people who are “fueling a campaign of hate,” we now learn that quite a few of them also contributed to Castro’s campaign.

GOP chief Ronna McDaniel has the only really good response to this kind of jackassery:

If all these Trump supporters are actually as bad as Castro claims, he and his brother should have no problem returning the thousands of dollars they took from them to fund their own campaigns.https://twitter.com/emilyelarsen/status/1159223271994380289 …

NEW: Six of the Trump donors Joaquin Castro singled out and accused of “fueling a campaign of hate” also donated to either him or his twin brother Julián over the years.

We spoke to five of them, and they are not pleased. w/ @SaysSimonson: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/six-trump-donors-joaquin-castro-tried-to-shame-also-gave-to-him-and-brother-julian …

It’s time to pay up, Joaquin.  Your no-good brother Julián needs to return the cash, too.

It’s tainted, dirty cash by Joaquin’s own reckoning, a cause for doxxing and harassment.  The little creep needs to be told to return it or be politically tainted as a hypocrite forever.  Even the Trump-Castro donors told Fox News they won’t be giving this little weasel who doxxed them any more of it.  So now he needs to shell out, return the cash, because, as he claims, it’s bad cash.  Let this dirty stunt on normal Americans exercising their constitutional rights cost him something.  Shell out, doofus.

Here’s a fine lagniappe from McDaniel, posting a disgusted statement from a Latina voter:

You can’t make this up.

Joaquin Castro put out a “target list” accusing @realDonaldTrump‘s supporters of “fueling a campaign of hate” against immigrants.

Included on the list is an immigrant – and she’s blasting Castro for his political stunt. https://dailycaller.com/2019/08/07/retirees-joaquin-castro-trump-donor-list/ …

EXCLUSIVE: Retirees Targeted By Joaquin Castro Speak Out: ‘It’s Disgusting’

Two retirees targeted by Democratic Texas Rep. Joaquin Castro criticized his decision to publish a list of 44 Trump donors in the San Antonio area.

If he’s that out of touch with the local sentiment in San Antonio, and has drawn even the contempt of Latino voters for it, maybe it’s time for him to pack up anyway.  Dirty stunts are beautiful things when they blow back into the faces of their malice-minded perpetrators.

Socialist Rulers Dictating What and How Much Food Their Citizens Consume?

SOCIALISM AND ITS FORM OF FASCISM………

GERMANS REBEL AGAINST TAX ON MEAT

by John Hinderaker  at PowerLine:

Through human history, the basic standard of well-being has been the ability to afford an adequate diet, especially one that includes animal protein. But, in classic first world style, some German politicians have decided that Germans eat “too much” meat. Hence a campaign to raise taxes on meat: “Green tax on sausages a step too far for Germans.”

Germany has raised the prospect of imposing a hefty tax on meat to encourage carnivores to cut down on their consumption.

This week MPs from the ruling parties flirted with abolishing meat’s special status in the tax system and nearly trebling the levy on each product to 19 per cent.

A 19 percent tax on meat!

Alongside staples such as bread, milk and coffee, Germany levies only a 7 per cent VAT rate on meat products, while charging 19 per cent VAT on baby food, restaurant meals and mineral water.

Earlier this week MPs floated the idea of moving meat into the more expensive category, in effect indicating that it is more of a luxury than an indispensable foodstuff.

I think most of us would agree that meat is indispensable. Most Germans apparently agree:

The meat tax was abandoned yesterday as the leaders of the mainstream parties fretted that it could become politically toxic and difficult to administer in Germany’s highly devolved federal structure.

The fundamental question, of course, is: what right do politicians and bureaucrats have to tell the rest of us we are eating “too much” meat, so that the price should be inflated via taxation?
