CBS News Investigates After Kamala Steals Trump’s ‘No Tax on Tips’ Proposal
CBS News probed whether Kamala Harris’ campaign ripped off Donald Trump’s idea not to tax tips for service workers.
In a segment Monday, CBS correspondent Weijia Jiang reported she was investigating the new proposal unveiled by Harris last week after Trump introduced the exact same idea in June.
“So, the reason we are pressing on this…is because this is one of the first policy proposals that we have heard from Vice President Harris,” Jiang noted.

“But as you mentioned, this is an idea that Trump rolled out in June, and he accused Harris of stealing it from her.”
“So we’re trying to drill down on whether that was true or whether this was an organic idea of hers, something that she and President Biden have discussed,” Jiang reported.
Asked on Monday whether the idea was originally Harris’s, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre deflected and merely admitted it was a “new idea.”
“Obviously it’s a new idea, I’m just saying that we support it,” Jean-Pierre stammered during a press briefing. “But we have been doing the work, for hard-working Americans to lower cost.”
CBS’s Jiang reiterated the reason she was attempting to get clarification was “because we have heard very few ideas at all from the vice president about her plans to…help the US economy.”
The policy would also be a reversal from legislation previously passed by the Biden administration, particularly a bill where Harris cast the tie-breaking vote funding the IRS to the tune of $80 billion, after which it implemented a program cracking down on tips earned by service workers.
Those 87,000 new IRS agents that you were promised would only target the rich…

Asked Monday if Biden would sign legislation reversing his current policy, Jean-Pierre without a hint of irony responded affirmatively.

Trump bashed Harris on Truth Social over the weekend for stealing his idea, writing, “This was a TRUMP idea – She has no ideas, she can only steal from me.”
After Trump introduced the notion in June, MAGA supporters launched a campaign to alert service workers about the novel tax ban with informative messages noted near the gratuity line, stating, “Vote for Trump! No tax on tips!”
THIS TREND IS ???

Congressmen Destroy Democrat Scheme To Disarm U.S. Citizens While Arming USDA & Dept. Of Education To The Teeth
Congressmen Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) recently took a moment to rant against a Democrat plot to ban the most popular semi-automatic rifle in America while arming government agencies that don’t need to be equipped with “military-grade” weapons.
Democrats want to ban citizens from owning AR15s, but they insist the Department of Education can’t complete its mission without AR15s. I say the Second Amendment guarantees the right of the people to own AR15s, and the Dept of Education should be banned!pic.twitter.com/K7kQN9nt9W

Rep. Massie explained why he was proposing an amendment to a bill being voted on this week, saying, “The underlying bill that we’re marking up today purportedly does two things. It proports to ban ‘weapons of war’ – although it doesn’t ban the SKS, the M1 Garand, the M1 Carbine or a variety of other weapons designed for the military – and it purports to ban magazines capable of carrying more than 15 rounds.”
He continued to point out federal agencies like the Department of Agriculture and Department of Education have a blanket exemption from the bill, saying, “I am at a loss to understand why” those agencies “would need so-called ‘weapons of war’ to complete their missions.”
When it came Jordan’s time to speak, he said, “If the legislation passed, law-abiding citizens will no longer to be able to purchase an ar-15, the most common rifle in the country, but the government will… Now, something just doesn’t seem right about that.”
Next, Gaetz told his peers, “The entire reason we have the Bill of Rights is because there are certain rights that have to be reserved to the people, not government… This legislation has turned the Bill of Rights and Constitution on its head. It takes powers reserved to the people and it deprives the people of those powers and rights, and then it reserves, explicitly, the very same rights for government. Not for the military, but for like the Deputy Commissar of Pencil Erasers at the Department of Education.”
“They want you weak and the government strong. They want you disarmed and the government armed to the teeth,” he added.
The bill is not expected to pass the Senate.

Englishman Jailed for Sharing Pictures Warning Mass Migration ‘Coming to a Town Near You’
A 51-year-old Englishman was jailed in the UK and dragged into court on Monday for sharing photos of migrants on Facebook and writing, “Coming to a town near you.”
From Whitehaven News, “Sellafield worker jailed after sharing ‘offensive’ Facebook posts”:
A FIFTY-one-year-old Egremont man has become the latest person in the county to be jailed for posting racially aggravated online social media posts linked to national civil unrest.
Sellafield worker Lee Joseph Dunn, of Church Street, appeared at Carlisle Magistrates’ Court this afternoon (Monday).
Dunn pleaded guilty to one offence. He admitted sending, by means of a public electronic communications network, a message that was grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character.
His crime occurred on July 30 and 31 and involved three shared Facebook posts.
Prosecutor George Shelley said Dunn had posted three separate images. The first one showed a group of men, Asian in appearance, at Egremont crab fair 2025, with the caption: “Coming to a town near you.”
The second also showed a group of men, Asian in appearance leaving a boat on to Whitehaven beach. This, said Mr Shelley, had the caption: “When it’s on your turf, then what?”
A final image showed a group of men, again Asian in appearance, wielding knives in front of the Palace of Westminster. There was also a crying white child in a Union flag T-shirt. This was also captioned, said Mr Shelley, with the wording: “Coming to a town near you.”
