Ambrose: Biden’s plan to tax people for money that isn’t money

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:13:17 GMT

President Joe Biden, eager to get more tax money to pay for the faults of others along with his own disastrously irresponsible, inflationary overspending, has said that American billionaires have tax rate of just 8%. Here, then, is a great excuse to hit this relatively small group of 700 or maybe 1,000 people with a fiscal fist as big as the Treasury Department without worrying about losing millions of votes.A difficulty for Biden, however, is that the tax rate is more than three times bigger than he said, 25.6%, either demonstrating that he made a major mistake or qualifies to be called a political trickster. I endorse the second possibility, seeing as how the tiny-tax assertion could confuse the public enough for him to seem a hero catching cheapskate billionaires even though the top 1% of taxpayers deliver something like 43% of all federal taxes.The way Biden arrives at his deception is by saying the billionaires and still other super-rich tax targets pay nothing for the unrealiz...

Editorial: Want affordable housing? Build more homes in Mass.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:13:17 GMT

The notion is supply-and-demand simplicity itself: Massachusetts needs affordable housing, so why not build more houses?That’s the position of the Massachusetts Association of Realtors, who visited Beacon Hill Monday in opposition to transfer tax and rent control bills.“Rent control tries to attack a symptom of our lack of building. And that’s not the way to fix the issue. We need to build more housing,” said Justin Davidson, the association’s government affairs director, according to State House News.“If we build enough housing, if people have the options of where to live and what type of home to live in, we don’t need rent control,” Davidson said.That’s long been an issue in the Bay State, particularly in Greater Boston. Rents are high, home prices astronomical, and so begins the exodus to the suburbs and beyond in hopes of staying ahead of exorbitant costs. Sometimes that trek leads out of state.Our population outpaces our hou...

Red Sox squander strong Paxton start, lose to Rockies 4-3 in 10 innings

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:13:17 GMT

The Red Sox had every opportunity to put the Colorado Rockies away.They had old friend Connor Seabold on the ropes in the first inning, tagging the ex-Red Sox hurler for three straight singles out of the gate before squandering the prime scoring opportunity and coming away with nothing.They took a 2-1 lead on a Christian Arroyo solo shot in the seventh, only to immediately allow Colorado to tie it right back up the following inning.Rafael Devers put a charge into what would have been the go-ahead two-run home run in the eighth, but Rockies outfielder Nolan Jones made an unbelievable catch at the bullpen wall to keep the ball in the yard and the game tied.Finally, with two outs and the extra-innings ghost runner still at second, Nick Pivetta loaded the bases and walked in the go-ahead run. With a steady rain devolving into a complete deluge, the Rockies added another on a Triston Casas error at first and the grounds crew came out to stop the action with the Red Sox trailing by two in...

Chris Hemsworth back in action in ‘Extraction 2’ for Netflix

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:13:17 GMT

Chris Hemsworth has been a mighty Thor many times but to return to his black ops mercenary Tyler Rake in the “Extraction 2” sequel, streaming Friday on Netflix, was something different.“Extraction,” adapted from a graphic novel, introduced Rake, a former Australian Army Special Air Service Regiment (SASR) operator turned rescuer-for-hire, recruited to save an incarcerated drug dealer’s son in Bangladesh.The novel ended with Rake dead. The movie followed suit. “When we began the original script, the character was done by the end, riddled with bullets, a piece of Swiss cheese toppling off a bridge. That completion felt necessary for the story of this redemption tale,” Hemsworth, 39, said in a Zoom interview Monday.Rake didn’t stay dead for long. Before filming finished, Hemsworth and director Sam Hayward “started talking about if we ever did another one, what the character would do. How the world could expand.They decided, “We should give ourselves an out in case audiences respond. So...

Dear Abby: Teen’s disturbing behavior worries uncle

Dear Abby: My nephew is 19. I have been co-parenting him and his sister since they were 15. He has some issues that are normal for his generation. What isn’t normal is his inflated sense that life is all about him. If it doesn’t benefit him, he doesn’t do it. I have been giving him the structure, guidance and direction that he has asked for, but he’s not changing. His girlfriend has been on him about his poor hygiene, but he doesn’t change.Lately, he has become withdrawn and silent, and he is by himself a lot. He literally sleeps all day. Oh, and he’s a compulsive liar, so we don’t know if anything he tells us is truthful. He does have depression issues and some trauma. Those signs are easy to spot in him. What gives, if you know? — Observant Uncle in IndianaDear Uncle: Has your nephew been treated for his depression or trauma? Whether the answer is yes or no, it’s time for him to be checked by a physician to determine whether he...

Palestinian President Abbas begins China visit as Beijing seeks larger role in Mideast

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:13:17 GMT

BEIJING (AP) — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas began a visit to China on Tuesday that comes as Beijing is seeking a larger role in Middle East politics and competing for energy resources. In announcing the visit, China’s Foreign Ministry said China was willing to help broker relations between the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli government that have deteriorated to the lowest level in recent years. The ministry did not say who Abbas would meet in Beijing or give other details of his four-day visit.Increased fighting over the last year between Israel and the Palestinians in the West Bank has resulted in the deadliest period of violence between the sides in years in that territory. The visit also comes after China hosted talks between Iran and Saudi Arabia that resulted in the two restoring diplomatic relations. That development was seen as representing a diplomatic victory for China as Gulf Arab states perceive the United States slowly withdrawing from the wider region. But ...

Walt Nauta is the latest Trump loyalist to face potential jail time after working for him

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:13:17 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — When former President Donald Trump appears in federal court Tuesday, he will be joined at the defense table by a man well-practiced in standing by his side: his valet turned alleged co-conspirator, Walt Nauta.Nauta, a Navy veteran who fetched Trump’s Diet Cokes as his valet at the White House before joining him as a personal aide at Mar-a-Lago, now finds himself in legal jeopardy alongside the former president. He is accused of moving boxes from the White House at Trump’s direction and then lying about it to investigators.Nauta is the latest in a series of Trump loyalists to face potential jail time after his work for the former president. Michael Cohen, Trump’s longtime fixer and attorney, spent more than 13 months in prison over payouts he helped arrange during the 2016 presidential race to keep women from going public about alleged sexual encounters with Trump. Allen Weisselberg, the former chief financial officer at the Trump Organization, just finished serving t...
