Busted! Biden Admin Imposed New Tax Scheme on Tips Before ‘Copycat’ Kamala Stole Trump’s ‘No Tax on Tips’ Plan
The Biden administration rolled out a new tax rule on service industry tips over a year before Kamala Harris stole former President Trump’s proposal to eliminate taxes on tips.
Shortly after Trump in June unveiled his proposal to abolish taxes on tips earned by service industry and hospitality workers, Harris announced on Saturday in Las Vegas that she would do the same if elected in November.

Trump of course lambasted Harris on Truth Social for blatantly stealing his policy proposal.
“Kamala Harris, whose ‘Honeymoon’ period is ENDING, and is starting to get hammered in the Polls, just copied my NO TAXES ON TIPS Policy. The difference is, she won’t do it, she just wants it for Political Purposes! This was a TRUMP idea—She has no ideas, she can only steal from me. Remember, Kamala has proposed the LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN HISTORY—It won’t happen. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
“EVERYTHING ABOUT KAMALA IS FAKE!” he added in a follow-up post.
But not only did “CopyCat” Kamala steal Trump’s proposal, her and Biden’s regime actually imposed a new IRS rule in Feb. 2023 called the Service Industry Tip Compliance Agreement (SITCA) program that would seek to “improve tip reporting compliance.”
Just last year the IRS under Biden-Harris made plans to crack down on tips.

The fact is, Harris has no policy platform based on sound principles to improve the lives of the American people, she is simply plagiarizing policies based on their political popularity to win over votes.

UK Children to be Taught How to Spot ‘Extremist Content’ & ‘Putrid Conspiracy Theories’ Online
Children in England will be taught how to spot “extremist content” and “misinformation” online as part of planned changes to the school curriculum, the education secretary announced Saturday.
Labour MP Bridget Phillipson said she was launching a curriculum review in primary and secondary schools to foster critical thinking and arm children against “putrid conspiracy theories.”
“It’s more important than ever that we give young people the knowledge and skills to be able to challenge what they see online,” she told The Telegraph.
“That’s why our curriculum review will develop plans to embed critical skills in lessons to arm our children against the disinformation, fake news and putrid conspiracy theories awash on social media. Our renewed curriculum will always put high and rising standards in core subjects – that’s non-negotiable.”

“But alongside this we will create a broad, knowledge-rich curriculum that widens access to cultural subjects and gives pupils the knowledge and skills they need to thrive at work and throughout life,” she added.
The program “may include pupils analysing newspaper articles in English lessons in a way that would help differentiate fabricated stories from true reporting.”
“In computer lessons, they could be taught how to spot fake news websites by their design, and maths lessons may include analyzing statistics in context,” The Guardian reported.
The announcement appears to be a response to the recent nationwide riots that have engulfed the UK sparked by the brutal killing of three young girls by a 17-year-old male at a dance class in Southport last month.
The knifeman’s identity has still not been released by UK authorities.
Despite the scant information on the suspect, the Guardian charges that “misinformation spread on social media about the background and religion of the suspect” is responsible for the unrest.
Specialist officers are pursuing suspected online offenders and influencers responsible for “spreading hate and inciting violence on a large scale”.
Teams are investigating hundreds of leads, the National Police Chiefs’ Council said.
The moderation and regulation of social media has also come under scrutiny after the disorder.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer last week vowed to stamp out the riots harshly, aimed mostly at UK nationals who are concerned about unfettered mass migration, and assured the Muslims that mosques would be protected.
“Shouldn’t you be concerned about attacks on *all* communities?” Elon Musk quipped on X.

UK authorities even threatened to extradite and prosecute non-citizens abroad who are sharing footage of the riots on social media — including Musk.
Secret Service Apologizes After Breaking Into Salon to Use Bathroom Before Harris Fundraiser
The Secret Service was forced to apologize to a Massachusetts salon owner after breaking into her business to use the bathroom ahead of a fundraiser for Kamala Harris last week.
Four One Three Salon owner Alicia Powers claims the Secret Service agents put duct tape over her security cameras and broke into her building by picking the lock, then allowed numerous people to use the salon’s bathroom over a two-hour period.
Powers told Business Insider she knew the building would need to be closed for the event in Pittsfield since agents were securing the area.
“They had a bunch of people in and out of here doing a couple of bomb sweeps again – totally understand what they have to do, due to the nature of the situation,” Powers said.

“And at that point, my team felt like it was a little bit chaotic, and we just made the decision to close for Saturday.”
Footage from the salon’s front-door Ring security camera shows a Secret Service agent approaching the door with a roll of tape and casing the locked door and the camera before standing on a nearby chair to tape over the security camera.

“There were several people in and out for about an hour-and-a-half – just using my bathroom, the alarms going off, using my counter, with no permission,” Powers said.
“And then when they were done using the bathroom for two hours, they left, and left my building completely unlocked, and did not take the tape off the camera,” she added.
The Secret Service reportedly told Business Insider that its agents “would not” have used the building without permission, but they admitted that an agent had taped over the camera.
But Powers said the Secret Service didn’t ask for her permission at all, hence picking the lock of her business.
“Whoever was visiting, whether it was a celebrity or not, I probably would’ve opened the door and made them coffee and brought in donuts to make it a great afternoon for them,” Powers told BI. “But they didn’t even have the audacity to ask for permission. They just helped themselves.”
The building’s landlord, Brian Smith also confirmed the Secret Service didn’t ask permission to access the building.
“Me and my dad own the building, and I have a crazy eccentric guy that lives upstairs,” Smith told BI. “And he didn’t tell the Secret Service they could use it, and I didn’t tell them, and my father didn’t tell them, and they had no permission to go in there whatsoever.”
A representative for the Secret Service’s Boston Field Office did reach out to Powers and apologized, and even offered to have the salon cleaned and pay her alarm company bill for the day — but only after the agency was contacted by the media about the incident.
“He said to me everything that was done was done very wrong,” Powers told the outlet. “They were not supposed to tape my camera without permission. They were not supposed to enter the building without permission.”
The Secret Service is currently embroiled in controversy and public scrutiny after the agency failed to protect Donald Trump from an assassination attempt on July 13.
Shooter Thomas Crooks managed to strike the former president in the ear after firing several shots from a close distance before he was taken out by a sniper.
Disgraced Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle resigned over a week later.
What the hell is happening to the Secret Service?
WWIII Watch: Russia Begins Heavy Retaliation On Ukrainian Capital As Zelensky Breaks Silence On Kursk Invasion
Now in the sixth day of the Kursk invasion, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky explained the following on Sunday, breaking his silence and giving his first official confirmation of the daring cross-border ground operation, “Today, I received several reports from Commander-in-Chief Syrskyii regarding the front lines and our actions to push the war onto the aggressor’s territory.” He added: “Ukraine is proving that it can indeed restore justice and ensure the necessary pressure on the aggressor.”
On the same day Russia’s Foreign Ministry has vowed, “A tough response from the Russian army will not be long in coming.” But that response appears to have already begun overnight and into Sunday, as the capital of Kiev has come under heavy missile attack. Missiles did not reach the center of the city, but the suburbs were impacted.
The Associated Press has described that at least four ballistic missiles slammed into the capital region along with 57 Shahed drones sent, citing Ukraine’s air force, which also said its air defenses intercepted 53 of the drones.
Zelensky has alleged that as part of the aerial assault, Russia used a North Korean ballistic missile. “According to preliminary information, the Russians used a North Korean missile in this attack – yet another deliberate terrorist strike against Ukraine,” Zelensky stated on social media. “Pyrotechnic experts are still working to determine the exact data regarding this missile,” he added.
The US Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink has condemned the new Russian aerial assault, saying it killed a man and his four-year old boy.
Air alerts and explosions sounded all night around Kyiv as Russia launched multiple missile attacks, killing a man and his 4-year-old son.

— Ambassador Bridget A. Brink (@USAmbKyiv) August 11, 2024
As has been the pattern after any major air assault by Russia, Zelensky pressed his Western allies for more immediate defense equipment to defend the skies. He urged that “to really stop Russian terror, we need not only a full-fledged air shield that will protect all our cities and communities, but also strong decisions from partners — decisions that will remove restrictions on our defensive actions.”
This reference to “strong decisions” is clearly an appeal for Western militaries to get more directly involved.
Some analysts view this ongoing Kursk cross-border offensive as a last-ditch and desperate ploy to force an escalation so that the US and NATO will more directly intervene, or else to gain leverage. Others say this is all PR-driven and that Ukrainian troops are being sacrificed in what’s essentially a suicide mission for propaganda purposes and as but a temporary blow to Kremlin morale…
As I said, Kursk attack is PR-driven decision by Zelensky: “Invading Russia is Zelensky’s riskiest decision yet. Crack troops are being used for a risky counterpunch to Putin that astonished the world — and the fingerprints of Ukraine’s president are all over it.

It also appears a distraction of sorts from the front lines, where Ukraine is fairing poorly and having serious manpower problems. It might be forcing Russia to relocate reservists from the Donbass region as well in order to urgently protect its borders.
Ukraine has continued sending drones and missiles into Russian territory, with one reportedly hitting a building in Kursk on Sunday, wounding 13 according to local sources.

Meanwhile, the world is witnessing Russia fight a war to repel invaders on its own territory in the southern region, with state media describing a Ukrainian command and control center having been destroyed in the Kursk region:
A missile strike has destroyed a Ukrainian command-and-control center in Russia’s Kursk Region, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has claimed, releasing video of the strike. Ukrainian forces launched a large-scale incursion into the border region earlier this week.
Ukraine sent tanks into Kursk, which Russia is taking out via airstrikes…
Many tens of thousands of Russian citizens have been evacuated from several border regions – with Russian sources acknowledging some 80,000 have fled in buses, trains, and cars. A formal “state of emergency” has persisted as Russia pours droops and security forces into the Kursk region to restore order.
Watch: JD Vance Shreds ‘Fundamentally Fake’ Kamala Harris & Tim Walz in CNN Interview
Trump running mate J.D. Vance schooled CNN’s Dana Bash during a Sunday interview over Kamala Harris’ refusal to do interviews, her campaign’s ad hominem attacks against him, and its lack of coherent policy proposals.
Vance told the “State of the Union” host that she should be asking Kamala Harris to answer for her and Joe Biden’s disastrous policies rather than dredge up questions about irrelevant past remarks he’s made.
“You’ve now asked me three questions about comments that I made three years ago. I wonder what Kamala Harris thinks about the fact that her policies opened the southern border…Kamala’s been the nominee for three weeks and she hasn’t sat down for a real interview,” Vance said.

“I’m interviewing you, not Kamala Harris,” Bash retorted.
“You are interviewing me, Dana, because I respect the American people enough to sit down for an interview,” Vance pointed out, adding Harris has not been interviewed since she was coronated as the Democrat nominee.
“The point is, Dana, you’ve got me for 15 minutes…we should be talking about public policies that matter,” Vance added. “How are we going to lower inflation? How are we going to reduce the cost of food and housing? How are we going to close down that southern border? We talked so little about that, we talked a lot more about a sarcastic remark I made three years ago, I think we should talk about the issues most Americans care about.”
Vance also called out the Harris campaign’s mud-slinging strategy of calling him “weird,” saying it “drives home how they’re trying to distract from their own policy failures.”
“I mean, look, this is fundamentally schoolyard bully stuff,” Vance said. “They can accuse me of whatever they want to accuse me of.”

“I’m doing this because I think that me being vice president will help improve people’s lives, so I accept their attacks, but I think that it is a little bit of projection, Dana,” Vance added.
“So I think that what it is is two people, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, who aren’t comfortable in their own skin because they aren’t comfortable with their policy positions for the American people, and so they’re name-calling instead of actually telling the American people how they’re going to make their lives better. I think that’s weird, Dana, but look, they can call me whatever they want to,” Vance said.
