Hakeem Jeffries tells Trump to keep his 'reckless mouth shut' after president calls Democratic Party 'greatest enemy'
[FoxNews] The House Minority Leader fired back after Trump called Democrats the 'greatest enemy' America has on Truth Social.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-NY, rebuked President Donald Trump on Sunday and said he should keep his "reckless mouth shut" after the president called Democrats the "greatest enemy" in America.

"Now with the death of Iran, the greatest enemy America has is the Radical Left, Highly Incompetent, Democratic Party! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT," the president wrote on Truth Social.

CNN's Dana Bash asked Jeffries to react to the statement during Sunday's "State of the Union."

"Donald Trump should keep his reckless mouth shut before he gets somebody killed," Jeffries said.
Is that a threat? Because it sounds an awful lot like a threat.

#5  Hakeem keep YOUR mouth shut before it is shut permanently. You are already in sedition territory and I bet provable treason as you help and provide aid for hostile nations. Both carry the death penalty if proven.

Care to find out with this president?

Stripping the Dying of Their Assets: Mamdani's Latest Proposal
[Hot Air] If New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani gets his way, half of everything New Yorkers work a lifetime for -- including their homes, their businesses or farms and their savings -- could be stripped away on their deathbeds.

No more Empire State; he'd make it the Expropriation State.
Mamdami didn't invent the 'death tax.' It's been talked about in the halls of congress for years. It's the dollar threshold that is the issue.
Only one thing in life is certain: We all die.

Mamdani is exploiting that certainty to close what he claims is a $5.4 billion city budget gap.

More than that, he aims to undermine the foundations of American life by attacking wealth accumulation, homeownership and private property, per the radical agenda of the Democratic Socialists of America.

Currently, New York is one of a handful of states that imposes a death tax, a 16% levy on estates worth more than $7 million.

But last week, the tax wish list Mamdani circulated to state legislators and Gov. Kathy Hochul proposed lowering the threshold to a mere $750,000 -- which would clobber millions more New Yorkers all across the state with a punishing tax.

He would also hike the rate to a whopping 50%, two and a half times the next highest rate -- 20%, charged in Hawaii and Washington state.

#1  New amended version: You and your children will own nothing and be you'll be happy.

#2  Nothing stops one, before they die, from passing their assets to their children. In fact its a growing practice among rich and famous soccer stars to move everything to their mothers before they marry (gold diggers) .

#3  Alternatively, you could blow all your cash on worthless stuff for some last big fun times.
