    What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

    Republicans "eked out" the identical majority the Democrats held for the past two years. That doesn't seem to have been a concern for their party during that term. One thing that can be said for the Democrats is that they almost always vote in lock step on almost everything. Anyone who shows...

    The Trump Card...

    Once again this "reporter" implies that Trump either prepares his own taxes or plays a significant part in tax preparation. This is simply not the case, and anyone who looks at these tax returns and their preparation process with minimal objectivity will realize that there absolutely are other...

    The Trump Card...

    The tone and source of this article create the premise that Trump sat up at night with a legal pad and a few sharpened pencils dreaming up schemes to screw the IRS. Johnston's claims are a collection of liberal fantasies and half-thuths with a few bold-faced lies thrown in that ignore this...

    The southern border.

    Of course it's an op-ed article, and it's a relatively long read. However, it has plenty of facts and quotes included, including those from SCOTUS that establish Congressional authority to set immigration law, which Biden continues to ignore.

    The Trump Card...

    Maybe you should have searched for the IRS commissioners who served under Trump prior to Rettig's appointment, and the one who was quoted in the source article I used in the earlier post. Rettig was never mentioned. John Koskinen served from Dec 2013 to Nov 2017. Prior to Rettig, David Kautter...

    The southern border.

    Fentanyl seizures at the southern border. FY 2020: 527 lbs FY 2021: 1951 lbs FY 2022: 1997 lbs FY 2023 (projected) 4821lbs - US Customs and Border Protection How much that got through undetected is anyone's guess, thanks to the Biden open border policy. The cartels control our border and are...

    The southern border.

    New investigation exposes non-governmental organizations (NGOs) - financed by taxpayer dollars - are actively distributing illegals throughout the US. Unwittingly or not, they're the final link in the cartels' human smuggling operation; all part of the Biden open border plan...

    The southern border.

    The Biden Administration is by design not enforcing existing immigration laws. They plainly deserve the blame for the current border mess and the cultural mess yet to come. https://cis.org/Arthur/Biden-Isnt-Enforcing-Immigration-Law-Because-He-Thinks-Its-Inherently-Inequitable

    The southern border.

    The southern border.

    SCOTUS has voted 5-4 to allow Title 42 to remain in place, and allow AGs from 19 states to present arguments for keeping it. This is a victory for Americans in all 50 states, but especially those at or near the border. https://www.oann.com/newsroom/title-42-decision/

    Twitter and The 1st Amendment

    Apparently our "betters" in DC have been insisting on dictating what was best on Twitter and probably other social media like Instagram and Facebook for years. All this probably seems pretty mundane to most people, who aren't surprised that the govt alphabet agencies have been snooping and...

    Twitter and The 1st Amendment

    More direct evidence of the Biden Administration using Twitter as a propaganda tool, this time to promote their unproven covid policies. "The Biden White House pressured Twitter to both “elevate” and “suppress” users based on their stances on COVID-19 — ultimately “censoring info that was true...

    Merry Christmas To ALL

    Taking a break from the political and social back-and-forth to wish EVERYONE an enjoyable Christmas and Holiday season. Spend time with family and friends, or even with a good book or a couple of old favorite movies. This time of year should be sacred and special for all. Cheers!

    The Trump Card...

    Apparently we do not "know exactly that". The Trump organization was found guilty, and of course will appeal all the way to SCOTUS if necessary. The corporation was directly led by Weisselberg, and that was clearly established during the proceedings. Weisselberg at first pleaded not guilty...

    The Trump Card...

    "The Presidential Tax Filings and Audit Transparency Act, which might soon bear the informal moniker of "The Trump Rule," passed largely along party lines (222-201)." https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/trump-taxes-irs/2022/12/22/id/1101628/

    The Trump Card...

    No. Besides, we don't know that Trump directed anyone to commit tax fraud. Minimizing taxes paid - personal or corporate - is not a crime.

    So in the eyes of the law, he's not a criminal.

    The Trump Card...

    First of all, "Trump's IRS commissioner" also held that position under Obama so he wasn't a hand-picked Trump acolyte. Secondly, this audit policy was just that - an IRS policy that they didn't enforce, not codified law. It's true that Trump didn't release his returns, but the IRS could've...

    The Trump Card...

    "If this turns out to be true..." Seems like there's always this caveat when it comes to gratuitous assertions, and in Trump's case so far they never seem to be true - just like the Russia collusion hoax that was promoted for years as fact and guaranteed to sink him. Really? Of what crimes has...
