Reduction Act
Posted By: Imright, 9/28/2022 5:55:02 PM
In response to President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, House Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) introduced a bill that would rescind the bill’s funding of 87,000 new IRS Agents and provide Americans with a tax break. On Sept. 26, Banks introduced the Defunding the IRS Army Act to “rescind” the funding of 87,000 additional IRS Agents included in the Democrats’ reconciliation bill, and “make permanent” the standard deduction in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Banks’ bill comes as a response to the Inflation Reduction Act, which was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Biden on Aug.16.

Chevron is selling its global headquarters in California as it continues to move its operations and employees to Texas, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.
The oil giant sold 92 acres of offices in San Ramon as its workers continue to relocate to its Houston campus, where it has three times the number of employees that California has, according to the WSJ. Chevron will follow in the footsteps of other large companies like Tesla and American Airlines that have left California in recent years for various reasons.
“The current real estate market provides the opportunity to right-size our office space to meet the requirements of our headquarters-based employee population,”

The United States’ biggest threat isn’t foreign nations, it is the systematic dismantling of the foundations of democracy, it’s the woke philosophy of the left and methodical uncoupling of a nation that poses the biggest risks, according to Number 45.
“Where did my America go, seriously? I mean this wholeheartedly folks,” asked One America News Network host Dan Ball at the beginning of the September 26 segment featuring former President Donald Trump. “Where did the America that I grew up in, the America that millions of people across this globe are trying to reach and become citizens each and every year? That America. The America that for decades
A group of individuals filed a class action lawsuit against Dominion Voting Systems, Facebook, CTCL and Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, which is now going to the US Supreme Court.
This group claims that the defendants worked together with government employees in a concerted and coordinated effort to change the results of the 2020 Presidential Election in ways that go against the US Constitution.
Here is a timeline of how they got here.

Dr. Anthony Fauci and his wife’s net worth grew by $5 million during the COVID-19 pandemic as thousands of US residents struggled financially, according to a government spending watchdog group.
The combined wealth of the 81-year-old retiring director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and his bioethicist wife, Christine Grady, soared from $7.5 million in 2019 to $12.6 million at the end of 2021, according to a report from the non-profit OpenTheBooks.
“Despite becoming a figure of controversy, the system has rewarded Dr. Fauci handsomely,” the group’s CEO, Adam Andrzejewski, told Fox News Digital. “While Dr. Fauci has been a government bureaucrat for more than 55 years,
Shocking before and after photos reveal the devastating impact of Hurricane Ian’s rampage across the scenic coastal town of Fort Myers and nearby areas Wednesday.
The historic Category 4 storm ransacked wide swathes of the city, obliterating once pristine stretches of beach, leveling longtime tourist destinations and even buckling bridges.
Taken from across the town of 85,000, the images capture the calm before the storm and the horrific reality of its aftermath.
The Biden administration has quietly announced a change in their student debt forgiveness program that could exclude four million borrowers who have loans owned or backed by private companies
The u-turn by the federal government comes after the first legal challenges were filed and following criticism of the huge costs to taxpayers and claims the plan is an illegal use of his executive power.
The Education Department announced Thursday that privately-held federal loans won't qualify for the relief plan, which the Congressional Budget Office said earlier this week could cost $400billion over a decade.
Charleston is bracing for a direct hit from Hurricane Ian with storm surges of up to 7ft as it hurtles towards the historic city after barreling through Florida leaving swathes of the state decimated.
Monster tempest Ian has recharged from a tropical storm back into a Category 1 hurricane as it angles northwards towards South Carolina, and will hit the coasts of North Carolina and Georgia.
Landfall in Charleston is expected around 8am on Friday, with the surrounding states also being issued with several extreme weather warnings.
With no other issues in the country to contend with the press cheers as the Biden administration is becoming unhinged.
The Washington Post has been on a roll with the delusions lately. Glenn Kessler spat out a “fact” check to support Stacey Abrams and her idiotic sonogram hot take. Then there was the recent attempt to recalibrate Biden’s economy by telling us there are 7 Ways A Recession Could Be Good For You Financially. Now we can toss another stunted log on this pyre of common sense.
Just take a look at this headline and try to imagine what it would take to write this out and
President Joe Biden called for the late Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-IN) to appear during a live event on hunger and nutrition Wednesday. Walorski was killed in a car accident last month, and Biden had previously called her family to offer condolences.
Though the White House attempted to spin his faux pas as a mere sign that Walorski was “top of mind,” describing it as the kind of mistake that anyone could make, the embarrassing error was the latest evidence that Biden may not be mentally competent to hold the office of president.
And yet there is no talk about removing him from office, using the 25th Amendment
Hurricane Ian is set to unleash more devastation as it whips up sea water in the Atlantic before targeting South Carolina after battering Florida this morning and overnight.
The monster tempest is expected to recharge from a tropical storm back into a Category 1 hurricane as it angles northwards towards the top of the Sunshine State, the south of Georgia and South Carolina.
The region is also braced for more storm surges that could see huge quantities of water dumped on major cities such as Jacksonville, Savannah and Charlotte.
It comes as Joe Biden warned Ian could be the 'deadliest' hurricane in Florida's history
Stocks tanked Thursday morning as investors backed off of Wednesday’s cautious optimism as several macroeconomic indicators highlighted recession concerns and fears of more hawkish monetary policy.Key Facts
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.5%, over 450 points, reversing its 540-point gain a day prior, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 2.8% and the S&P 500 2%.
Investors reacted negatively to employment data revealing a tighter than expected labor market, interpreting it as fuel for the Federal Reserve to pursue further interest rate hikes, while several other economic indicators, including surging mortgage rates, a declining U.S. economy
The U.S. economy was even weaker in the first half of the year than previously thought, data from the Commerce Department indicated on Thursday.
Gross Domestic Product contracted by 1.6 percent in the first three months of 2022 and by 0.6 percent in the April through June quarter, meaning the economy shrank for two consecutive quarters.
Those who argued that the economy was not actually in a recession could point to the low unemployment rate and a measure of the economy known as Gross Domestic Income, which had been reported as growing 1.8 percent in the first quarter and 1.4 percent in the second quarter.

DeSantis: MAGA Understudy or Saboteur?

Since my foray into politics, I have come to understand that our system comprises insiders and outsiders and that Donald Trump was the consummate outsider. He was opposed by the system on both sides of the political aisle. Admittedly, I counted myself amongst the opposition. It was only when faced with a choice of yet another Clinton, whom we were told held a 95% chance of victory, that I felt a throw-away vote for Trump was in order. To my surprise, the b@st@rd actually won. He wasn’t supposed to win.
The US Army's first trans officer and her wife, a doctor at Johns Hopkins, have been indicted for attempting to pass medical records of senior military officers and their families to the Russian government. Major Jamie Lee Henry, 39, and Dr. Anna Gabrielian, 36, were accused of using their secret security clearance at North Carolina's Fort Bragg to steal the records from the base's hospital, the CNBC reported. Fort Bragg is among one of the most populated military installations in the world, housing about 52,000 active duty soldiers.(Snip)According to the indictment, which was unsealed on Thursday, Gabrielian said she was motivated by her patriotism to Russia,

If Democrats could pull off an upset in Utah, it would have profound consequences for the control of the Senate — and the rest of the country. Republican senators are growing concerned by colleague Mitt Romney’s refusal to help fellow Utah Republican Mike Lee decisively win his re-election campaign — a posture that could potentially keep their party from gaining a majority in the November elections. Unlike every other Republican senator, the 2012 failed Republican presidential candidate is declining to express a preference in Republican Lee’s re-election effort against Democrat-endorsed Evan McMullin.
President Biden once again shirked any responsibility for skyrocketing gas prices and instead demanded that gas stations cut prices at the pump for drivers despite their costs to stay in business being dictated by the market. [Video]
His flawed economic reasoning is that oil prices are dropping. Oil prices are not the only factor in the price of a gallon of gasoline. Taxation and crushing regulation as well as progressive policies have a lot to do with it. It’s almost as if Biden and the left want to drive gas stations out of business.
In a meeting with economic aides on Monday, Biden excoriated gas stations,

Republican Mehmet Oz has further put himself within striking distance of his Democrat opponent in the Pennsylvania U.S. Senate race, with the latest Fox News poll showing he trails by just four points.
Surveying 1,008 registered Pennsylvania voters between September 22-26 with a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points, the new poll puts Fetterman at 45 percent while Oz stands at 41 percent, a full four points within the sampling error and a tremendous surge for Oz, who trailed Fetterman by 11 points in late July.
Neither candidate enjoys majority support, with the three percent going to independent Everrett Stern and 11 percent undecided.
LEE COUNTY, Fla. — The morning after Hurricane Ian made landfall in Florida brought with it grim news.
“We have fatalities in the hundreds,” said Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno on “Good Morning America,” according to Fox News. GMA reported that Marceno does not yet have an exact number. Florida Emergency Management has not yet issued a formal announcement on injuries or lives lost during the storm.
“This is a life-changing event for all of us. We tracked that storm up the coast of Florida. It was very unpredictable,” Marceno said, according to GMA.

Hundreds of Homeland Security employees were paid unemployment benefits during the coronavirus pandemic despite staying on the job, the department’s inspector general revealed Thursday. Even worse, the Department of fHomeland Security paid some of the money itself under an emergency unemployment program that the Trump administration “hastily” created in 2020, investigators said. That meant the department was making bogus payments to its employees.

NATO has concluded that the leaks that recently emerged on the Nord Stream pipelines were the result of sabotage by some unknown actor, the military alliance announced in a Thursday statement.
The North Atlantic Council, the decision-making body for NATO, didn’t name a culprit in the statement, but threatened a military response against the responsible party.
“All currently available information indicates that this is the result of deliberate, reckless, and irresponsible acts of sabotage,” the council said in a statement. “We, as Allies, have committed to prepare for, deter and defend against the coercive use of energy and other hybrid tactics by state and non-state actors. Any deliberate attack
Thirty former FBI agents, including a retired deputy assistant director, head of counterterrorism and five SWAT team members, have spoken out publicly in support of suspended FBI whistleblower Stephen Friend.
Their heartfelt messages, obtained exclusively by The Post, show a deep and widespread anguish about the politicization of the FBI.
“It’s time to stop the FBI from being the enforcer of a political party’s ideology,” says Ernie Tibaldi, a retired agent from San Francisco. “We need to reestablish the FBI as the apolitical and independent law enforcement entity that it always was.”
If a week is a long time in politics, 24-hours can seem like an eternity, especially when a White House administration is confused by basic historical facts.
U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris amply illustrated this Thursday when she ended her four-day trip to Asia with a journey to the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) dividing the Korean Peninsula. During the stop she confused onlooks by asserting the United States has a “strong alliance” with “the Republic of North Korea.” “It is an alliance that is strong and enduring,” she added, intending to refer to the Republic of Korea, which is South Korea’s official name.
Her gaffe came barely 24-hours
