HOW MUCH IN TAXES DID JOE PAY ON THE 150 FOREIGN WIRE TRANSFERS OF DIRTY MONEY???
Biden says anyone ‘earning less than $400,000’ won’t see a tax increase ‘by one penny’ — he lied
Peter Schweizer: Americans Have Gone to Jail for Doing Far Less Than What Hunter Biden Has Done

“Protect and enrich.” This is a perfect encapsulation of the Clinton Foundation and the Obama book and television deals. Then there is the Biden family corruption, followed closely behind by similar abuses of power and office by the Warren and Sanders families, as Peter Schweizer described in his recent book “Profiles in Corruption.” These names just scratch the surface of government corruption.

IRS Whistleblower: Merrick Garland Denied Naming Special Counsel in Hunter Tax Probe
First Son Hunter Biden Ramps Up Legal Attacks on Critics
Hunter Biden’s legal team is going on the offensive after a week of damaging revelations about the federal investigation into the troubled first son.
Biden’s legal team is calling on the Treasury Department to investigate a leak of his bank records that show alleged payments to Russian prostitutes and millions of dollars in suspicious foreign bank wires. They are also seeking an ethics review of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R., Ga.) for her "attacks" on the Biden family.
Hunter Biden’s latest attack on critics comes
amid renewed scrutiny of a federal
investigation into his taxes. Last week, Hunter
Biden lawyer Chris Clark accused an IRS
whistleblower of breaking the law by offering to
provide Congress with information about the
Justice Department’s investigation of Hunter
Biden’s tax dealings. The IRS agent claims the
Biden Justice Department has gone easy on
Hunter for political reasons. The agent has
already filed complaints with the Treasury
Department inspector general and Justice
Department inspector general, his lawyers
said.
Abbe Lowell, another Biden lawyer, alleges in a letter to the Treasury Department inspector general that J.P. Morgan, where Hunter Biden banked, illegally leaked "suspicious activity reports" to a group that has investigated the first family’s business dealings. The reports show that J.P. Morgan flagged as suspicious more than $2.4 million in foreign wire transfers to Biden and his business partners and other payments that Biden made to an escort service linked to Russia. The bank said the reports were filed because Biden is a "politically exposed person" accused of "possible political corruption."
Lowell also urged the House Ethics Committee to investigate Greene for "unmoored verbal abuses and ad hominem attacks" against Hunter Biden, citing the GOP firebrand’s social media posts about his client’s predilection for prostitutes.
In March, Hunter Biden called on the Justice Department to investigate the handling of his infamous laptop, which reveals details about his business deals and struggles with drug addiction. Biden accused Trump allies and a computer shop owner who worked on the laptop of violating his privacy by providing his emails to reporters.
In the latest letter, Lowell calls on the Treasury Department inspector general to investigate Garrett Ziegler, whose nonprofit group has published the contents of Biden’s emails and five J.P. Morgan suspicious activity reports. Lowell alleges that Ziegler engaged in an illegal conspiracy with a J.P. Morgan banker to release Biden’s bank records.
"Just another bait and switch attempt by Hunter Biden," said Ziegler’s nonprofit, Marco Polo. The organization said the Bidens are "try[ing] to imprison us" for publishing information damaging to the first family.
Lowell also attacked a former Hunter Biden associate who has released evidence that President Joe Biden was aware of his son’s Chinese business dealings. Lowell asserted that Tony Bobulinski has "become an antagonist to the Biden family" and has engaged in "political warfare against the President."
Bobulinski worked with Hunter Biden on a deal with CEFC China Energy. He has released text messages showing that he met with Hunter and Joe Biden in 2017 to discuss the Chinese deal. That contradicts the president’s claim that he had nothing to do with his son’s business activities.
Exclusive—Alfred Ortiz: Another Reason to Oppose Biden’s Reelection Is That He’s Siccing the IRS on You
Against the wishes of 70 percent of Americans, 80-year-old Joe Biden announced today that he will seek another term as President of the United States. This is Biden’s second time running for president in the 80s. He also ran for president in 1988.
There are countless reasons why the vast majority of Americans don’t want four more years of Biden. His administration has been the most radical in modern American history, with trillions of dollars in reckless spending that has led to Bidenflation and caused two consecutive years of falling real wages and living standards.
There’s another reason every small business owner, freelancer, gig worker, independent contractor, or employee who tries to make a few bucks in a side hustle should oppose Biden’s renomination. His administration is siccing the IRS on them.
In the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, passed in March 2021 on partisan lines, Democrats lowered the income reporting threshold for third-party payment processors such as Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, and PayPal to a mere $600. Then in last year’s misnamed Inflation Reduction Act, which also passed without a single Republican vote, Democrats doubled the size of the IRS by hiring 87,000 new agents to audit compliance with this new standard.
After a one-year delay, this $600 threshold took effect this year, meaning that come January, ordinary Americans will be hit with a slew of Form 1099-Ks for basic transactions they didn’t know they had to pay tax on. When the surprise tax bill is ultimately due, Americans should blame Biden and the Democrats.

The supersized IRS will make life miserable for small businesses and ordinary Americans. Corporations and wealthy folks will be largely unaffected because they have accountants and tax lawyers on staff who ensure they comply with all the rules.
Hairdressers, estheticians, handymen, subcontractors, hot dog carts, and your kids’ sports coaches will be most affected by this new rule. Even the ice cream stands and sunglass vendors that Biden uses to cosplay as a moderate will be hit hard. The expanded IRS will scrutinize these 1099 forms to ensure you reported the $600 you made from your yard sale or selling your old iPhone on Craigslist.
Your personal transactions will also be caught up in this reporting dragnet. Just imagine the hassle of getting a 1099 from Venmo on January 2, 2024, showing that you’ve received $15,000 in taxable income from your roommate. The IRS doesn’t know those funds were for your roommate’s share of the rent and utilities. And you’ll have no way of telling them short of entering the Kafkaesque nightmare of the IRS bureaucracy.
Same story for the poor sap who sold you his floor seats to the John Mayer concert via Zelle. Or your niece who got a few thousand dollars from family members to help pay for her wedding. Or your neighbor, to whom you gave several hundred dollars to split the cost of a new fence. Americans are accumulating a deluge of tax forms that will hit mailboxes in just over eight months.
House Republicans’ Limit, Save, Grow Act, scheduled to be voted on soon, would reverse the IRS funding needed to hire 87,000 new agents and enforce this $600 threshold. It’s one of many reasons why House Republicans should swiftly pass it.
Biden’s reelection announcement video released today is divisive fear-mongering, painting conservatives as book-banning, vote-suppressing radicals. It’s desperation from a desperate president. Ordinary Americans and small businesses who want moderate leadership won’t be fooled by Biden this time around. Their fistful of 1099s coming soon won’t let them forget.

How Joe Biden and the I.R.S are Performing Criminal Acts
To dismantle our borders and destroy our country.
Fri May 27, 2022
David Horowitz and John Perazzo
In an earlier article about Facebook billionaire Mark Zuckerberg’s efforts to fix the 2020 presidential election, we observed that the root cause of America’s current problems, beginning with broken borders and off-the charts urban violence – is lawlessness.[1] We also observed that this lawlessness originates in the White House, and includes the Justice Department, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Executive Branch generally.
Discussions of the border problem often touch on the criminal element that violates our unenforced border laws beginning with drug dealers, sex traffickers, and migrant smugglers. But the crime problem is vastly understated in these references which give the impression that it is largely confined to the countries they have left, and has no impact on the country they have invaded. In July 2018, the Government Accountability Office issued a report containing “Criminal Alien Statistics,”[2] which serves to correct this false impression. Among its conclusions, the report states that one in five federal prisoners in the United States is a criminal alien. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
The G.A.O. report covered the period between 2011 and 2016. During that time frame, approximately 2 million foreigners crossed the border into the United States illegally – which is just about the number of unvetted foreigners whom border officials predict will cross the border illegally this year alone. In that same time frame there were more than 730,000 criminal aliens in U.S. prisons, federal and state, and local jails. Criminals are not usually arrested the first time they commit a crime, and are often released with minimal time served when they are. So while there were 730,000 criminal aliens in U.S. prisons, they accounted for 4.9 million arrests and 7.5 million offenses – which would translate into a 10 times greater number of victims than offenders.
The offenses of these criminals, according to the report, included more than 1 million drug crimes (number of victims unknown); 500,000 assaults; 133,800 sex offenses (number of actual victims who may have been reluctant to report the crimes also unknown); 24,200 kidnappings; 33,300 “homicide-related events:” and “1,500 terrorism-related crimes.”
How many lives were damaged or destroyed by these aliens who entered the country illegally and should never have even been here in the first place, will never be known, and yet the lawless Biden administration which will not enforce existing immigration laws is planning to continue the outrage and pile up the victims at an even greater rate.
And worse. On July 14, 2021, Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson revealed the Biden Administration had suborned the U.S. military to ship tens of thousands of illegals into cities across the country at taxpayer expense. Laughlin Air Force Base in Texas was used as the platform from which to secretly board illegals and fly them, under dark of night, to locations across the U.S. Many other illegals were being sent to occupy the American interior, also at taxpayer expense, but by bus rather than by jet. In the words of Center for Immigration Studies fellow Todd Bensman, “a conveyor belt of commercial and charter buses … are carrying tens of thousands, sight unseen, from Texas, Arizona, and California borderlands northward, and they are dropping their Haitian, Venezuelan, Cuban, and Central American family units in Florida and New Jersey, Tennessee, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, and to large cities in Texas such as Dallas and Houston.”
The fact that the Biden administration chose the middle of the night to ship illegals secretly is a clear indication that the White House was quite aware it was conducting an illegal operation. Its goal, as Tucker Carlson claimed was “changing the electoral map” of the United States and enacting “demographic transformation in our country, without our consent, and in violation of our laws.” Former Trump White House advisor Stephen Miller explained on the same show: “[W]hat is happening now is unprecedented…. This is not about an administration that is unable to protect the border. This is about an administration that in a very purposeful, planned, deliberate, painstaking fashion has turned our Border Patrol and I.C.E. [Immigration & Customs Enforcement] agencies into resettlement agencies…. This is a planned resettlement. The largest of its kind, I would suggest, perhaps in the history of the world in terms of the number of illegal border crossers being resettled into the interior of our country in violation of plain law.”
In a similar vein, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis reported in early November 2021 that, over the course of the preceding summer, dozens of flights had transported groups of illegals from America’s southern border to Jacksonville, Florida in the middle of the night. “Over 70 air charter flights [on] jetliner airliners coming from the southwest border have landed at Jacksonville International Airport,” said Larry Keefe, DeSantis’s public safety spokesman. “On average, there’s 36 passengers on each of these flights,” added Keefe. “And that has been going on over the course of the summer through September…. Who is facilitating this travel? How are they getting here? Who are the support people? Who are the sponsors?”
To answer Keefe’s questions, the support people and sponsors of the aforementioned flights were, in many cases, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that have long enjoyed tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. This status permits donors to give money to NGOs while claiming their donations as tax deductions. In many cases, the cost of the midnight flights was paid in full by faith-based and open-border NGOs that had contracted with, and were being paid by, the federal government.
Using tax-exempt foundations to defraud taxpayers into subsidizing an illegal invasion of the United States was only possible because of the collusion of the White House and the I.R.S. in supporting this subversion of the American immigration system. And this was only the big picture lawlessness. The smaller details were also full of improprieties. As Breitbart.com reporter John Binder notes, these illegal aliens often received special privileges unavailable to American citizens and legal residents:
“All of the border crossers and illegal aliens used Department of Homeland Security (DHS) forms as their proof of identification, as Biden has allowed them to bypass standard TSA [Transportation Security Administration] rules where American citizens must show photo identification to board commercial flights. Most shockingly, perhaps, the forms border crossers and illegal aliens are allowed to use as official forms of identification for TSA include arrest warrants, deportation orders, Notices to Appear (NTA) in immigration court, and federal custody booking records. In addition, TSA officials confirmed that border crossers and illegal aliens boarding domestic commercial flights do not have to undergo health screenings beforehand.”
The obvious injustice of such an arrangement is greatly compounded by the fact that the very activities in which the NGOs are complicit amount to the willful provision of assistance to countless thousands of people who have intentionally broken American immigration laws. Such NGO activities are clearly in violation of the legal requirements that govern 501(c)(3) nonprofits, requirements that explicitly prohibit support for unlawful actions. As the Internal Revenue Code (I.R.C.) states without ambiguity:
· “[Tax-]exempt purposes may generally be equated with the public good, and violations of law are the antithesis of the public good. Therefore, the conduct of such activities may be a bar to exemption.”
· “Not only is the actual conduct of illegal activities inconsistent with exemption, but the planning and sponsoring of such activities are also incompatible with charity and social welfare.”
· “Violation of constitutionally valid laws is inconsistent with exemption under IRC 501(c)(3).”
· “[A]ll charitable organizations, regardless of their form, are subject to the requirement that their purpose may not be illegal or contrary to public policy.”
It is impossible to read this Code without concluding that the Internal Revenue Service itself is not only derelict in its duty but has operated with criminal intent to violate its own statutes, indeed its own mission – and on a massive scale.
An enormous amount of money flows from the federal government to the various NGOs that help illegal aliens make their way to their ultimate destinations across the United States. The most recent year for which an accurate dollar figure is available is 2020, the final year of Donald Trump’s presidency. Even under the immigration policies of President Trump, which were far more restrictive than those of his successor, the federal government in 2020 alone distributed more than $1.5 billion among 42 separate nonprofit organizations that provided housing, educational, medical, and legal services for illegals. The leading recipient of this government largesse in 2020 was an Austin, Texas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit named Southwest Key Programs, which received $400 million in taxpayer funds. The second-leading recipient was BCFS Health & Human Services, a San Antonio-based 501(c)(3) which took in at least $253.1 million from the federal government.
In short, aiding and abetting people who break America’s immigration laws has become a very lucrative enterprise for these NGOs, thanks to the contempt the Biden White House and its bureaucratic agencies have for the law itself.
Another Texas-based 501(c)(3) organization, the Val Verde Border Humanitarian Coalition (VVBHC), processes large numbers of illegal aliens for airline flights or bus trips from Texas to places like Florida, Indiana, New York, Tennessee, and Utah. It also provides those passengers with basic necessities such as food, drink, and access to shower facilities. Moreover, VVBHC is assisted in these endeavors by two additional 501(c)(3) nonprofits, the Salvation Army and the United Methodist Committee on Relief.
In a similar spirit, Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley (CCRGV) plays an active role in providing food and shelter to illegal migrants who have been released from federal custody, before they make their way to their final destinations in various locations across the United States. CCRGV also collaborates with a fellow 501(c)(3) nonprofit named Team Brownsville to provide such items as food, clothing, and diapers — as well as assistance in coordinating travel plans — for illegal aliens in Brownsville, Texas.
Also in Texas, Mercy Ministries works with fellow 501(c)(3)s like Catholic Charities and the Holding Institute to shelter illegal migrants in Laredo.
The Biden Administration has quietly flown enormous numbers of illegal alien minors from Texas to New York between the hours of midnight and 6:30 a.m. Many of those illegals are then dropped off at the Syosset, Long Island campus of MercyFirst, a 501c3 nonprofit sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy, a fellow Catholic 501(c)(3 nonprofit. From there, they are helped to find permanent homes.
On July 28, 2021, Texas’ Republican Governor, Greg Abbott, issued an executive order barring all citizens and residents of that state from providing transportation services for any migrants who had crossed the southern U.S. border illegally. Abbott’s order sparked the ire of the Catholic Legal Immigration Network Inc. (CLINIC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that characterized the governor’s edict as “an affront to human dignity and morality.” “It promotes racial profiling and punishes organizations, including CLINIC affiliates, for providing vital, life-saving services to immigrants,” said Viviana Westbrook, CLINIC’s state and local advocacy attorney. “This order, its origins and its goals,” she added, “are a direct attack on all of us, undermining the core value shared by Catholics and other people of faith across this country — we can and must welcome.”
These sentiments may seem noble, but even the Church must obey the law, as its Divine Authority famously said, “Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, and unto God what is God’s.” Sedition is not a holy obligation or rite.
Republican Congressman Lance Gooden of Texas has warned that in collaboration with the Biden Administration, tax-exempt NGOs are not only “facilitating human smuggling and child trafficking in our country,” but are also “allowing these migrants, many of whom are unknown to U.S. law enforcement agencies, to board commercial aircraft, creating one of the greatest threats to U.S. national security since September 11, 2001.”
In February 2022, Rep. Gooden introduced The Stop Federal Funding for Human Trafficking and Smuggling Act, legislation designed to deny the flow of government dollars to nonprofit organizations that help facilitate illegal entry into the United States. As Gooden said in a statement: “The Biden administration is working with nonprofits, U.S. corporations, and international agencies to operate an illegal immigration network that spans from South America to every community in the United States. Taxpayer dollars should not be subsiding a mass invasion of our country, and it is time to put a stop to this corrupt operation.”
Former White House Office of Management & Budget Director Russ Vought, who now serves as president of Citizens for Renewing America, lauded Gooden’s bill: “Many NGOs openly encourage the flaunting of our border and immigration laws, providing ‘how-to’ guidance on how to come to the United States illegally, and then reward such activity by facilitating and funding housing, food, utilities, and legal support. The net effect of these activities either directly promotes or provides cover for human trafficking operations, and the exploitation of men, women, and children at the border under the guise of ‘helping’ migrants. I support Rep. Gooden's efforts to make sure groups that facilitate these activities are no longer funded with the hard-earned tax dollars supplied by the forgotten men and women of America.”
When Chris Cabrera, chief of the National Border Patrol Council in South Texas, was asked in February 2022 whether open-borders NGOs “are working at cross purposes to you,” he replied: “Most definitely. And they should not be allowed to, but our government allows it. And that’s a problem. And it’s one reason [Border Patrol] morale is so low.”
Like Texas, California is another state that serves as a destination for countless thousands of illegal border crossers from Mexico and Central America. California-based nonprofits like the San Diego Rapid Response Network (SDRRN) and Jewish Family Service of San Diego (JFS) — both of which receive significant funding from American taxpayers — have helped the Biden Administration fly illegal aliens into the U.S. interior at no cost to them, while allowing them to evade normal airport-security requirements. Indeed, the illegals are asked to do nothing more than pledge that they will check in with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency at some future date — a pledge that is almost always broken.
The San Diego Rapid Response Network — which was launched in 2017 by two California ACLU chapters, the San Diego Organizing Project, and SEIU Local 221 — professes to combat “dehumanizing immigration enforcement activities, including checkpoints, raids, arrests, and harassment, occurring in San Diego County.”
In other words, the lawlessness of the Biden administration has spawned a mentality that is seditious and insurrectionary, and thanks to the complicity of the I.R.S. funded by taxpayer donations that were never intended for such illegal and subversive purposes.
Jewish Family Services is a tax-exempt NGO that colludes with the Homeland Security Department to provide illegal aliens with shelter services. Moreover, JFS furnishes illegals with information packets that explain how they can: find an immigration attorney, apply for asylum, get past TSA agents at airports without showing proof of ID, get free access to high-quality hotels, contact immigration NGOs that can help them break the law, and enroll their children in U.S. public schools. “We … stand with all Dreamers and their families,” JFS proclaims, “and all estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants who consider the United States to be their home.” So much for the rule of law.
In November 2021, Just The News reported that Jewish Family Services, in its most recent financial statement, indicated that it had received more than $16 million in government support during the preceding fiscal year.
JFS’s subversive attacks on U.S. immigration law pre-date the Biden demolition project. JFS opposed virtually all Trump-era immigration policies, including the so-called Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), a government action stipulating that foreign individuals traveling northward through Mexico and seeking asylum in the U.S. without proper documentation, could be required to remain in Mexico while waiting for their asylum hearings in America to eventually make their way onto a court calendar. Prior to the implementation of MMP, American border agencies had been required to release such illegals into the country’s interior, on the shaky expectation that they would someday show up for their asylum hearings. By JFS’s calculus, MMP was a “cruel and inhuman” policy. JFS is entitled to its opinion, but not to subverting the law and abusing taxpayer monies to implement its own agendas.
Other California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofits that help illegal aliens access free food, hotel rooms, and commercial flights into the American interior include Catholic Charities of San Diego and the Los Angeles-based Shapiro Foundation. In San Diego, many illegals have been housed at hotels including The Four Points by Sheraton, where rates start at $159 per night. Elsewhere in southern California, various nonprofit NGOs have negotiated arrangements with the Biden Administration and the state to provide illegals with hotel rooms costing $71 to $90 per night — again, all courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer, and a derelict I.R.S.
Another center of illegal entry into the Unites States is Arizona, where, between March 2021 and March 2022, a 501(c)(3) non-profit called the Regional Center for Border Health helped more than 16,700 illegal migrants obtain food, clothing, and transport to far-flung locations across the United States where they could provide a demographic basis for future Democrat majorities – at least according to the assumptions of their Democrat sponsors.
Catholic Charities, meanwhile, has operated regular shuttle buses to Arizona’s Yuma International Airport, where illegal aliens are provided free commercial flights to their ultimate destinations. Many of those flights are paid for by Miles4Migrants, a tax-exempt NGO that uses donated air-miles to cover the costs.
No account of nonprofit organizations’ complicity in lawbreaking would be complete without some mention of what was done in 2018 by Pueblo Sin Fronteras (PSF, “People Without Borders”), a Chicago-based organization founded in 2001 by Roberto Corona, a Mexican-born activist dedicated to promoting the rights of illegal aliens in the United States. PSF is a project of another Chicago-based nonprofit, the now-defunct La Familia Latina Unida (“The United Latin Family”). Describing itself as “a collective of friends” who stand “in permanent solidarity with displaced peoples,” PSF has led numerous caravans of migrants and refugees from Central America to the U.S. The organization not only pledges to “provide humanitarian aid and legal advice” for such sojourners, but also candidly declares that its overriding objective is to “abolish borders” and facilitate the free, unregulated movement of Central American migrants into the United States. It proposes to do this by dismantling the immigration system and legal order that made America such a desirable destination in the first place, and replacing it with the lawless attitudes and practices that made Central America a slum.
In the spring of 2018, People Without Borders helped organize a caravan of hundreds of people from Central America seeking to enter the United States illegally. The co-organizer of that caravan was the CARA Family Detention Pro Bono Project, a coalition composed of the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, the American Immigration Council, the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services, and the American Immigration Lawyers Association. Three of those four coalition members are tax-exempt NGOs.[3]
On March 23, 2018, People Without Borders publicized the caravan by issuing a press release demanding that Mexico and the United States “respect our rights as refugees and our right to dignified work to be able to support our families”; “open the[ir] borders to us because we are as much citizens as the people of the countries where we are and/or travel”; and end all “deportations which destroy families.” Notice that everything in this statement is an unsubstantiated claim beginning with the presumption that the caravan members are refugees with rights. Asylum seekers do have rights, but only because America honors them, and the current crisis at the border is in large part the result of would-be asylum seekers failing to show up for the court appointments designed to establish that they are indeed asylum seekers and not just liars seeking the bounties that the rule of law made possible before the Biden progressives began destroying them.
In mid-October of 2018, People Without Borders spearheaded an effort to overwhelm America’s border-control apparatus when it helped launch yet another large caravan — composed of several thousand people from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador — that began migrating northward for the declared purpose of breaking America’s immigration laws and occupying the United States.
In an October 21, 2018 press release, People Without Borders accused President Trump and the U.S. of using “repressive tactics” to inflict “fear and racism” on the people of Central America. These preposterous claims indicate what little chance there is that such people would make a positive contribution to American life should they succeed in their malign agenda. This agenda was made clearer in the statement of one of its funders, Freedom For Immigrants, an Oakland, California-based tax-exempt advocacy group which claims that America’s “immigration detention system is built upon a long history of white supremacy, capitalism, and imperialism.” Sure, that’s what America needs – more racist Marxists who want America to look like Communist Cuba.
The I.R.S. is the patron saint of a movement to break America’s immigration laws, occupy its cities, bilk its taxpayers, overwhelm its health, welfare and education services, fill its prisons, and destroy its constitutional order. By their words and actions alike, this movement had shown its utter contempt for America’s integrity as a sovereign nation, and for the hard-won principles that made it the object of their envy. The I.R.S. has abandoned its responsibilities and betrayed its mandate in order to turn a blind eye to its own brazen complicity in advancing chaos and lawlessness through the length and breadth of a once proud nation.

WHEN HAS JOE BIDEN EVER OPENED UP HIS FAT MOUTH THAT HE'S NOT LYING OR SUCKING BRIBES?!?
Hannity: The scandal in Biden's White House
Biden says anyone ‘earning less than $400,000’ won’t see a tax increase ‘by one penny’ — he lied
Ten percent for “the Big Guy”? Yeah, right; more like, “12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35% and[/or] 37%.”
See what the “Big Guy” said on Twitter this morning:
As I’m sure many of us are painfully aware, that was a lie — I certainly don’t make $400,000 a year, and I took a massive hit on Tuesday, which was a marked change from years past.
Oddly enough, income tax is eerily similar to the protection fee demanded by organized crime syndicates; for the Sicilian mafia, this extorted chunk of cash is known as “pizzo”. From an online encyclopedia:
A protection racket is a type of racket and a scheme of organized crime perpetrated by a potentially hazardous organized crime group that generally guarantees protection outside the sanction of the law to another entity or individual from violence, robbery, ransacking, arson, vandalism, and other such threats, in exchange for payments at regular intervals.
So long as you make your payments at regular intervals, nobody gets hurt, right?
What’s worse though, is that my federal extortion payment was only the beginning: I also forfeited state income tax for the months I lived in Arizona, and now I’ll spend the rest of the year paying a litany of other taxes. See below:
Shortly after President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December of 2017, I had a conversation with a leftwing family member, and it went exactly as you’d expect.
As an open borders, socialist/communist (adopted identities she wouldn’t even be able to define), “educated” Democrat, of course she hated President Trump and everything he did; certainly, the new tax code was “unfair” because all the other teachers in her leftwing school said so, and instead of her usual refund, she actually owed money to the government.
First off, I tried to explain that when she would receive a “refund” it just meant that the federal government was using her money interest-free, and she was simply getting a portion of her own money back (and given her circumstances, nothing more) — she didn’t get it.
I then asked how much she made, and showed her that prior to the tax cuts, she was in the 25% tax bracket, but now, thanks to President Trump, she was only paying 22%. Her response? The predictable pivot of a leftist caught looking like an idiot: “Well that still seems high.” I replied, “Well yes, it should be zero percent, but all those government programs you love so much cost real money.” Again, the concept eluded her. (Democrat voters remain hopelessly thick-headed.)
Since I don’t make anywhere near the 37% tax bracket, I’ve never really done the math, but laying in bed the other night, I discovered that someone making $500,000 a year would have $185,000 shaved off the top immediately — I was awake for hours. (Leftists and the fallout of their stupid ideas literally keep me up at night!) I should have known though, because a few years back, my father-in-law (a retired orthopedic surgeon), calculated that he worked an average of four straight months out of every year, just to cover his federal “pizzo” payment — this is beyond criminal.

Most of the media, entertainers, educators, and other Democrats only pretend to care about children, the poor, and the middle class
We had huge protests when President Trump was enforcing immigration laws. AOC showed up and cried at a chain link fence protecting a parking lot. Kids were shown in cages, from the Obama-Biden years, and Trump was blamed. But now that Biden refuses to abide by his oath to enforce the nation's laws, there is barely a whimper.
Somehow, we didn't get massive coverage when the NY Times showed that illegals, who are children, are essentially used as slaves.
Alone and Exploited, Migrant Children Work Brutal Jobs Across the U.S.
Nope, the media is more concerned that Republicans are trying to make sure that children's genitalia aren’t allowed to be destroyed without the permission of parents.
There isn't even much coverage when the Biden administration loses track of children.
Why don't we see the story about how many people, including kids, die at the border? It is a huge problem, but the leftists don't seem to care.
Biden Administration Official Unable to Give Clear Answer on Whereabouts of 85,000 Migrant Children
Joe Biden certainly doesn't care about the children any more than he cared about the six people killed by a gender-confused person in Nashville.
But it is a huge story if a black teen got shot, but didn't die, when he showed up at an 85-year-old white person's house at 10 PM. Then that teen gets invited to the White House to push the race card and gun issue.
If the media and other Democrats actually cared about children, especially the poor and minorities, they would not cater to teachers unions to keep schools closed during COVID, and they would support vouchers to allow the poor to go to better schools.
Of course, the media and other Democrats did care about the border when they reported widely the false story that border agents whipped Haitians. They always play the race card, no matter how fake the story is.
Biden and Garland, who say they never comment on ongoing investigations, enthusiastically claimed the agents were guilty and would be punished. This story was as true as the Russian collusion story, but no one cared. They were willing to destroy peoples' lives with no evidence. The Justice Department and DHS knew the story was false within a day yet did an extensive eleven-month investigation.
Maybe the Justice Department, other prosecutors, and other Democrats should concentrate on criminals and actual crimes, instead of having endless investigations and witch hunts like this, Russian collusion, Trump’s taxes, and a seven-year-old non-disclosure agreement where they search for a crime instead of investigating a crime.
After the eleven-month extensive investigation they found that agents used inappropriate language and one agent even admitted twirling his reins to keep the illegals at a distance.
One agent admitted to twirling horse reins as a distancing tactic.
Heaven forbid! Maybe he belongs in solitary confinement.
I hope no one in the Biden family ever used inappropriate language, instead of just taking massive kickbacks. Then the Justice Department might take it seriously.
If the media and other Democrats really cared about poor and starving children, clean water, sewage treatment plants, power plants, and helping underdeveloped countries they would encourage them to develop their natural resources, instead of blocking them and falsely telling them that would destroy the planet.
If rich people like Gates, Bloomberg, Obama, Oprah, and the royal family truly believed what they regurgitate, they would stop flying in private jets and building mansions while telling others they need to give up their freedom and quality of life
Save the Planet, Invest in Fossil Fuels
"Three billion people in the world still use less electricity than a typical refrigerator," explains Alex Epstein, author of "The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels." If they're going to have "their first well-paying jobs ... their first consistent supply of clean water ... a modern life ... that's going to depend on fossil fuels."
If the media truly believed in facts and science, they would ask questions and do research looking for evidence that oil, coal, natural gas, cars, methane and all the other stuff we are told cause warming actually do so, instead of just repeating what they are told. They would have as much success as they had looking for Russian colluson or hunting snipe.
Sadly, most of the media clearly cares more about power for leftists and campaigning for the radical leftist agenda to destroy and remake America than facts or science or children.

IRS Whistleblower: Merrick Garland Denied Naming Special Counsel in Hunter Tax Probe
Attorney General Merrick Garland denied naming a special counsel in Hunter Biden’s tax investigation to provide a degree of separation between President Joe Biden and his Justice Department, according to allegations revealed Wednesday by an IRS whistleblower.
Trump-appointed U.S. prosecutor David Weiss allegedly requested to be named as a special counsel in the probe to provide a degree of separation between President Joe Biden and the Justice Department’s investigation into his son.
That request was reportedly denied, according to the whistleblower, potentially undermining the DOJ’s probe into Hunter for tax fraud, money laundering, and violation of lobbying laws.
Thirty-three Republican senators have demanded Garland give Weiss probing Hunter special counsel powers and protections. But their plea has gone unanswered. Garland has also previously refused to say whether a special counsel should be placed over the investigation to maintain an honest probe.
“Under President Biden and Attorney General Garland, America is not equally applying Justice and the rule of law. They are both equally culpable and responsible for abuse alleged by the IRS whistleblower,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) told Breitbart News.
Mike Davis, founder and president of the pro-Trump Article III Project and former Chief Counsel for Nominations to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, told Breitbart News that Garland has a direct conflict of interest and must appoint a special counsel.
“The criminal probe of Hunter Biden directly affects Garland’s boss. This is a coverup, ” he said. “House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan should put Garland in a chair in front of bright lights and cameras—and let Garland explain why he is more interested in running cover for his boss than following the law.”
In March, Garland insisted Weiss has the authority to bring charges against Hunter. However, Garland additionally noted he would personally have to authorize any potential charges against Hunter.
“I would then have to authorize it and permit it to be brought in another jurisdiction and that is what I promised I would do,” he told the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Weiss’s probe into Hunter could implicate Joe Biden. A witness who testified before the grand jury was reportedly asked to identify the “big guy.” The “Big Guy” is a reference to a joint venture between the Biden family, associates, and CEFC China Energy Co., in which Joe Biden would receive a ten percent equity stake.
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) revealed in March the Biden family received a collective $1.3 million cut in 2017 from a Biden family business associate, who was sent a $3 million wire transfer from CEFC. Hunter has confirmed the $1.3 million China payout. Joe Biden falsely denied it.
Biden family members received the $1.3 million in return for favors from Joe Biden, Comer believes.
“The House Oversight Committee will work to hold accountable anyone in the Biden Administration who may be covering up this criminal activity,” Comer told Breitbart News.
“The Oversight Committee will also continue to pursue our investigation into the Biden family’s business schemes to determine if President Biden and our national security are compromised. Americans demand answers, transparency, and accountability,” he added.
In 2018 and 2020, Breitbart Senior Contributor and Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer published Secret Empires and Profiles in Corruption. Each book hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and exposed how Hunter Biden and Joe Biden flew aboard Air Force Two in 2013 to China before Hunter’s firm inked a $1.5 billion deal with a subsidiary of the Chinese government’s Bank of China less than two weeks after the trip. Schweizer’s work also uncovered the Biden family’s other vast and lucrative foreign deals and cronyism.
Breitbart Political Editor Emma-Jo Morris’s investigative work at the New York Post on the Hunter Biden “laptop from hell” also captured international headlines when she, along with Miranda Devine, revealed that Joe Biden was intimately involved in Hunter’s businesses, appearing to even have a ten percent stake in a company the scion formed with officials at the highest levels of the Chinese Communist Party.

IRS Whistleblower Says Biden Admin Interfering in Hunter Tax Fraud Probe
Two Biden administration political appointees within the Justice Department are working to block charges against Hunter Biden for tax violations against recommendations, an IRS whistleblower alleged Wednesday, saying the appointees are engaging in “preferential treatment and politics.”
Hunter is under investigation by the DOJ for tax fraud, money laundering, and violation of lobbying laws. Trump-appointed U.S. prosecutor David Weiss for months has been weighing if there is sufficient evidence for the grand jury to indict him.
According to the whistleblower’s attorney, Mark Lytle, his client wishes to speak with congressional investigators to corroborate his claims of political interference in the probe, which he has reported to the Justice Department’s top watchdog, according to a report.
In a letter obtained by Just the News, “The IRS agent has … disclosed his concerns to both the Treasury Department Inspector General for Tax Administration and Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz.” The letter goes on to say:
Specifically, the agent has provided evidence that at least two Biden DOJ political appointees in U.S. attorneys’ offices have declined to seek a tax indictment against Hunter Biden despite career investigators’ recommendations to do so and the blessing of career prosecutors in the DOJ tax division.
In addition, the whistleblower alleges Weiss asked to be named as a special counsel in the probe to provide a degree of separation between the probe and Joe Biden. That request was apparently turned down.
The allegations come as the grand jury appears to have convened as far back as May 2019, a confidential subpoena served to JPMorgan Chase bank reveals. The subpoena sought bank records of Hunter and James Biden.
According to the New York Times, Hunter has tried to settle the DOJ’s probe. In 2021, Hunter paid an outstanding $1 million IRS tax bill to evade conviction or a long sentence. The payment could benefit Hunter’s defense.
The probe into Hunter could implicate President Joe Biden. A witness who testified before the jury was reportedly asked to identify the “big guy.” The “Big Guy” is a reference to a joint venture between the Biden family, associates, and CEFC China Energy Co., in which Joe Biden would receive a ten percent equity stake. CEFC also paid Hunter a $1 million legal retainer.
In March 2018, James Biden demanded the legal services payment and provided CEFC “wiring instructions” to transfer the funds to Hudson West III LLC, an entity James and Hunter controlled.
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) revealed in March the Biden family received a collective $1.3 million cut in 2017 from a Biden family business associate, who was sent a $3 million wire transfer from CEFC. Hunter has confirmed the $1.3 million China payout, while Joe Biden falsely denied it.
Comer believes Biden family members received the $1.3 million in return for favors from Joe Biden. “We believe the reason the family was receiving this money is because of favors that Joe Biden did as vice president and or as president,” Comer told Bloomberg in March.
Comer’s investigation into the Biden family for nine violations, including tax evasion, money laundering, and wire fraud, is a separate probe from the DOJ’s.
Comer’s investigation has encompassed subpoenaing four major U.S. banks and one individual. The subpoenaed banks are Bank of America, Cathay Bank, JPMorgan Chase, and HSBC USA N.A. The banks have complied with the subpoenas.
Comer also subpoenaed the Biden family’s CEFC partner, Mervyn Yan. As a former CEFC official, Yan was an integral member of the Chinese energy conglomerate with strong ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Yan appears to be one of the few top CEFC officials who has not been detained or arrested.
“We’ve been wondering all along where the heck the DOJ and the IRS have been. Now it appears the Biden Administration may have been working overtime to prevent the Bidens from facing any consequences,” Comer told Breitbart News. “The House Oversight Committee will work to hold accountable anyone in the Biden Administration who may be covering up this criminal activity.”
