* My weekly NATP email newsletter reported –
“The Social Security Administration (SSA) has
announced that the wage base for computing the social security tax (OASDI) in
2020 increases to $137,700 from $132,900. The quarter cost-of-living adjustment
(COLA) coverage figure will rise from $1,360 for 2019 to $1,410 for 2020. The
increase in the quarter of coverage figure also serves to increase the lower
and upper limits under optional methods for computing self-employment tax.”
The SSA also announced the 2020 COLA increase for
monthly benefit checks is 1.6%.

* Did you know the “IRS announces tax relief for Texas victims of Tropical Storm Imelda”.
“. . individuals who reside or have a business in
Chambers, Harris, Jefferson, Liberty, Montgomery, and Orange counties may

THE LAST WORD –
I am not a legal or political expert. I am not a
registered Democrat or a registered Republican – although I have in the past
voted for Democratic, Republican and 3rd Party candidates in various races. I
am just a concerned citizen with a conscience who has been casually following
Trump’s “career” for close to two decades.
It is obvious to me, and I should think anyone with a
brain, that Trump the man is a worthless piece of garbage, totally devoid
of humanity, humility, honor, integrity, credibility, empathy, sympathy, and
intelligence, who cares only for himself - feeding his ego and lining his
pockets - and absolutely nobody or nothing else. He has no political beliefs, philosophy or
ideology and clearly no concern whatever for America, the American people,
American values and democracy, or the world.
It is also obvious to me that no person with a brain
and a conscience could ever affirmatively support and defend Trump the man or
Trump the President.
It is truly puzzling that the Republican Party and
Republicans in Congress have abandoned all integrity, honor and credibility
by publicly supporting and defending Trump, while privately observing and
acknowledging the same things about him that I do. Apparently, the Republican Party believes the
votes of Trump’s core cult of ignorant racists are more important than protecting
and defending the country and the Constitution.
