Kamala Harris shamelessly stole President Trump’s ‘no tax on tips’ idea.
Harris has zero policies on her campaign website because the majority of the American people are unhappy with crippling inflation and open borders thanks to the Biden-Harris Regime.
What the fake news media is not reporting is that Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote to let the IRS track workers’ tips to be taxed!
“Two years ago today, I proudly cast the tie-breaking vote to pass our Inflation Reduction Act,” Kamala Harris boasted last week on Facebook.
The so-called ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ added more than 80,000 new IRS agents to the agency to track tipped workers and $600 Venmo payments.
“On this vote, the yay’s are 50, the nay’s are 50. The Senate being equally divided, the vice president votes in the affirmative and the bill as amended is passed,” Harris said in the August 7, 2022, video.
WATCH:
The media is covering Trump’s ‘no tax on tips’ proposal a lot more favorable now that Kamala Harris stole the idea.
As much as you hate the media, it’s not enough.
Only sharp-eyed readers will be able to spot the difference in the coverage of the two proposals. pic.twitter.com/h9PMWCZzDX

Lisa Zarza ran several successful bars in Minnesota before Tim Walz’s draconian COVID rules forced her into bankruptcy.
Walz was such a tyrant that during the pandemic, he ordered police to shoot residents with paintballs if they dared to leave the confines of their homes to sit on their porches.
The Gateway Pundit reported on the hundreds of millions of dollars scammed from taxpayers under Walz’ watch.
Walz bragged about leaving his 87-year-old mother, who had just undergone heart surgery, alone in her home to fend for herself.
He even set up a snitch hotline for neighbors to report their neighbors for violating his draconian COVID restrictions.
According to The New York Post, when shelter-in-place and business closures first went into effect in March 2020, Lisa said she did everything she was supposed to.
But as the months wore on and the state slowly reopened, salons, bars and restaurants remained closed under Walz’s orders.
In October 2020, Zarza and a group of fellow bar owners defied the order, an uprising that was quickly crushed by the Walz regime.
“I was threatened with arrests, I was threatened with fines. At the end of the entire lawsuit, my lawsuit including Attorney General fees was over $300,000. I filed personal bankruptcy,” she said.
Meanwhile, it was business as usual around much of the state, the bar owner raged.
“Everything else, literally Target, Walmart, Home Depot. Everyone was open 100 percent. The same exact order that shut us down, opened them all up,” Zarza recalled.
“He took away rights from the American people and from Minnesotans that he did not have a right to take.”
She said she was stripped of her licenses to operate and has moved her business to Wisconsin.
Zarza spoke to Fox & Friends First about the evil Walz deployed on Minnesotans.
Todd Piro: Meantime, Democrats are hoping that putting Tim Walz on the ticket will be a way to reach out to rural America. But instead, Walz is being deployed to a bunch of big-money solo fundraisers this week, starting with the Newport Beach today before hitting big cities like Boston and Denver and swanky neighborhoods like the Hamptons.
But our next guest says Walz will only hurt the working class after forcing her to close down her business and forcing her into bankruptcy because of COVID lockdowns. Lisa Zarza is a former Minnesota bar owner, and Lisa joins me now.
Lisa, in a New York Post article, you refer to Tim Walz as evil. Evil is a pretty strong word. Why do you call Tim Walz evil?
Lisa Zarza: I definitely think that Tim Walz is evil. He closed down our state not one time, but two times. In November of 2020, he decided that all bars and restaurants in our state needed to close down, and he opened up all big stores, big box stores, Target, Walmart, Fleet Farm, they were all opened up 100% a week before Black Friday.
He was looking out for the big people. He wasn’t looking out for the small businesses of Minnesota. He talks about being so small-minded for small businesses. That’s not who this man is.
Todd Piro: You actually defied his orders, kept your business open. What did the state under Tim Walz do to you when you did that, when you fought back?
Lisa Zarza: They took my food service license, essentially, and they suspended my food license, and then they revoked my right to have a food license in the state. They revoked my right to have a liquor license in my state for five years, which was later overrun, but I lost two restaurants because of it. I owned two different restaurants, and I was fined over $300,000 for it, lost two restaurants, and bought a bar in Wisconsin.
Todd Piro: Okay, so you hear what happened last week when they announced Tim Walz is going to be Kamala Harris’ running mate. What’s going through your mind based upon Tom, your experience with Tim Walz and being there for the common man, the bar owner like you.
Lisa Zarza: That’s not who he is. It’s not who he was as a governor.
When I heard the news, I started crying and thought I was going to maybe have a heart attack, the fact that not only did destroy the state of Minnesota, but he was now going to have a hand in destroying our country.
He doesn’t look out for the citizens. He doesn’t look out for us. He looks out for big corporations, the big stores, the people feeding his pockets. That’s not who Tim Walz is. He’s not some local farmer from Minnesota.
Todd Piro: One thing Democrats are pretty good at, especially during campaign season, is when they do X, they accuse the Republican of doing X. Here’s what Tim Walz had to say about Trump’s presidency during COVID. Listen.
(Tim Walz) “He froze in the face of the COVID crisis. He drove our economy into the ground. And make no mistake, violent crime was up under Donald Trump.”
Todd Piro: What’s your response? What goes through your mind when you hear that?
Lisa Zarza: This man left the city many Minneapolis burn. He left our police officers in the city of Minneapolis. He left them there while the George Floyd riot went on. This man, everything he stands for on the media, if you look at his record in Minnesota, that’s not who this man is.
Watch the fall of Minneapolis, and you’ll see who this man is.
Watch what he did to our state, to our children. Our kids were locked down for longer than almost any other state. Our restaurants, our small businesses were locked down longer than almost any state in the country. What he’s saying on his platform, it’s not how he ran our state, and it’s not how he’s going to run our country.
Watch:

And you want to give him some kind of power in the white house?
Are you FREAKING KIDDING ME ??
This guy is not only Stolen Valor, he’s a complete nutcase.
Governor Tim Walz ordered police to shoot residents on their porches with paint balls during the COVID pandemic.
In the video you can see police officers walking the streets of Minneapolis on May 30, 2020, screaming at residents and shooting paintballs at anyone who is sitting on their porch.
They called this ‘science.”
The man is crazy. That’s why they picked him for VP.
Via Midnight Rider.
Walz deployed 11,000 National Guard members to the city.
The Independent reported on this at the time.
Police officers and National Guard forces in Minneapolis shot paintballs at residents standing outside on their porch, as a curfew was enforced throughout the city.
A video posted on Twitter on Saturday night appears to show the Minnesota National Guard and state police ordering the residents of one street to go inside, before they turn their weapons on a group of residents.
The footage captures people rushing inside the property after shots are fired and shows where one member of the public has been hit by a paintball.

A Secret Service special agent, who was partially responsible for planning security at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally where President Trump was nearly assassinated, is under internal investigation for allegedly leaking sensitive videos and photos from her protective assignments to social media.
According to RealClearPolitics (RCP) correspondent Susan Crabtree, the female agent served as the official site agent for the July 13 event in Butler, Pennsylvania, where a rallygoer, Corey Comperatore, was tragically murdered in front of his family.
An analysis of the agent’s Facebook account revealed a photo seemingly taken from Mar-a-Lago, captioned with a cheery message: “A sunset to be grateful for …” accompanied by heart and sunset emojis and hashtags like “#nofilter #southflorida #thankful #workmode.”
“Sources familiar with the videos said most appeared on the agent’s Instagram account, which is marked private,” Crabtree wrote on X.
More from RealClearPolitics:
Sources within the Secret Service say the site agent was inexperienced for such a critical security role but noted that the position is rotated throughout the Trump detail, not routinely assigned based on merit or experience.
There is now concern within the agency that the site agent for the Butler rally will take the fall for the event’s egregious layers of security failures – that Rowe will fire her over her social media posts, but not for any security failures at the July 13 event.
In contrast, the lead agent had decades of experience within the Secret Service but did not have experience on a protective detail, the innermost ring of security for presidents, first ladies, former presidents, and their families, according to sources in the Secret Service community familiar with her background.
While the months of rancor and recriminations leading up to the assassination attempt against Trump undoubtedly distracted the Trump detail from its ultimate mission, the Butler rally served as a wake -up call and a reset, according to sources close to Curran.
“Sone agents have referred to it as their 9/11 moment where people are opting back onto the detail,” remarked a source in the Secret Service community. “Morale is high, people are motivated. These agents [protecting Trump] are stiff-jawed with steel in their spine.”
This incident is not an isolated case but rather part of a broader pattern of dysfunction within the Secret Service detail assigned to Trump, according to Crabtree.
Over the past year, internal strife has plagued the team, distracting agents from their primary mission: ensuring Trump’s safety amid rising threats.
“Rancor, recriminations, and serious formal misconduct complaints have plagued all levels of the Secret Service detail assigned to protect former President Donald Trump over the last year, distracting the team from its core mission of securing Trump from physical harm and preventing an assassination,” Crabtree wrote.
“Trump’s regular detail team, a force of 60 employees – special agents and support staff – has been beset by internal division, long workdays and weeks, and constant stress. Last year, the team lost one of its members to suicide,” she added.
RealClearPolitics obtained information about a May 15 all-hands conference call during which Sean Curran, the detail leader, and his deputy, Matthew Piant, addressed these issues head-on.
They expressed their dismay over what they termed “rumors, innuendo and toxicity” within the ranks. The leaders condemned a particularly egregious incident where cellphone photos were taken of two support staff members sleeping while on duty at Mar-a-Lago—a breach of professionalism that was circulated among team members for amusement.
Piant labeled this prank a betrayal of trust and emphasized that accountability should have been enforced differently.
“Those encountering the sleeping individuals should have simply held them accountable by waking them up with a nudge,” he said per RCP. However, many rank-and-file agents voiced frustration that those who fell asleep were never disciplined.

(this guy is a FAKE and would play these tricks IF HE would have been vp)
By Mark Swanson | Monday, 12 August 2024 04:40 PM EDT
A former battalion commander in the same Minnesota Army National Guard unit as Gov. Tim Walz took to social media on Monday to blast the vice presidential nominee for stolen valor, calling it an "affront" that Walz continues to "glom onto the title" of command sergeant major despite not completing the requisite steps to earn it.
Further, John Kolb wrote in his post to Facebook that Walz's decision to retire early from the outfit was a blessing in disguise because it led to better leadership — retired command sergeant major Thomas Behrends, who skewered Walz in an appearance on Newsmax earlier Monday.
But Walz's taking credit for rising to E9, a rank the governor "did not earn," was an affront. The Harris-Walz campaign has walked back Walz's assertion, saying the governor "misspoke" about retiring as a command sergeant major.
Kolb wrote that he has "no criticism of [Walz's] service as an E7 or E8." However, "I cannot say the same thing of his service sitting, frocked, in the CSM [command sergeant major] chair. He did not earn the rank or successfully complete any assignment as an E9.
"It is an affront to the Noncommissioned Officer Corps that he continues to glom onto the title," Kolb wrote. "I can sit in the cockpit of an airplane, it does not make me a pilot."
Kolb wrote that when Walz retired shortly before a deployment to Iraq was close to happening, Walz "unwittingly got out of the way for better leadership" — Behrends.
Behrends, Kolb wrote, "ran toward and not away from guns."
Behrends told Newsmax on Monday that Walz is a "liar and a fraud."
Behrends said there are "seven Army values and [Walz is] the opposite of every one of them," adding that, "we do not want that as a person that is one step away from being commander in chief."
In addition to his rank, Walz also invited criticism when a video from 2018 surfaced of him talking about handling weapons that he used "in war." Walz retired before he ever saw any combat in Iraq or Afghanistan. He was in a support role while stationed in Italy.
"When someone says he misspoke on something as serious as this, that means they are a liar," Behrends said.
