IRS Cannot Be Trusted With Citizens' Data

It is a disgrace that our IRS employees are leaking citizens' private and confidential information to journalists.

All the billionaires mentioned followed the law. The only party that broke the law is the IRS.

This politically motivated attack on the nation's entrepreneurs, who have done nothing wrong, just to build a bogus case for a 'wealth tax' (which is a vicious scheme that will ultimately destitute the middle income earners) is beyond disgraceful.
Wealth tax has failed everywhere it has been tried in Europe. While the 'wealth tax' is always sold by invoking envy of the super-rich, it ultimately falls on the middle income earners because that's where most of the nation's tax revenue always come from.
Federal Wealth Tax Is Unconstitutional and Unwise

I wrote about this at length over two years ago. See enclosed thread for details.

1. WSJ: The American Jobs (Reduction) Plan

Another analysis finds economic destruction in the Biden ‘infrastructure’ agenda.
2. Senate Republicans have been trying to persuade President Biden to accept a scaled-down version of his new spending plans. Given the tax hikes included, a new report suggests that scaling the Biden “infrastructure” plan down to zero might be the best outcome for U.S. workers.
3. The Tax Foundation reports the results of its analysis:

1. Mike Pence Speaks

I have great regard for Mike Pence, one of the greatest Vice Presidents ever. While Democrats and the media pretend that their opposition to Trump was somehow rooted in Trump's intemperate utterances, what's their excuse to slander Mike Pence? Image
2. Mike Pence Speaks

Blasting H.R. 1, the Democrat-led ethics and voting rights package, Pence said Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democrats in Washington "want to literally codify many of the very practices that create the greatest opportunity for fraud."

He is right.
3. Mike Pence Speaks

While Pence avoided promoting conspiracies about the election, he did talk about "election integrity" and endorsed efforts in state legislatures nationwide to enact GOP-led voting legislation.

This is one hundred percent the right position for the GOP. Image

You mean Trump is seeking 'advice' from Sidney Powell again. How well did it work out the last time around? I guess once was not enough.
Folks, this is sophisticated psy-ops. Republicans have to find a way to defang the media's ability to manipulate millions on the right with cheap tricks. I suspect our intelligence agencies perfected this art form by concocting a mysterious QAnon apparition. It fooled millions.
Whenever Republicans' buttons are pressed just the right way, but they're being goaded into taking a position that will do absolutely nothing to further the Republican policy agenda while pumping up people on the right to expend energy in a futile way, suspect a dirty trick.

1. SCOTUS: Unpacked and Undivided

There is an extraordinary litany of 6 unanimous decisions in 2 weeks which could in part reflect an implied message from the justices that this is a court that is not nearly as rigid and divided as suggested by Democratic members and activists.
2. Recently, Breyer warned against any move to expand the Supreme Court. He also rejected the characterization of the current Court as “conservative” or ideologically rigid.

3. Breyer was swiftly denounced by figures like cable news host Mehdi Hasan who called called for his retirement. Demand Justice, a liberal group calling for court packing, had a billboard truck the next day in the streets of DC warning “Breyer, retire. Don’t risk your legacy.”

Masks Work, Mask Mandates Don't 1/2

Masks work when used appropriately in limited contexts (see next tweet).

Mask mandates don't work is amply demonstrated by extensive data that states with mask mandates fared no better than those without, no matter how you slice the data.
Masks Work, Mask Mandates Don't 2/2

Masks work so long as the following three statements are true:
a) SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted person-to-person.
b) SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted via water droplets in breath.
c) Severity of Covid-19 illness is directly proportional to viral load.
People used masks in appropriate contexts based on their own common sense, with or without mandates. That's why Covid-19 infection rates show no correlation to presence/absence of mandates.

1. Don't Believe A Word Of What CNN Tells You

WSJ: "Is there any city where residents endorse the BLM's agenda? Some news organizations have labored to persuade viewers that police officers constitute a major threat to many of the citizens. The citizens still aren’t buying it."
2. Even in what is arguably America’s leftwardmost political jurisdiction, it turns out that “defund the police” is a rallying cry for only a small percentage of the citizenry, despite what CNN viewers have been led to believe.
3. The new Oregonian poll also helps puncture the myth that people of color don’t want cops in their neighborhoods. Mr. Kavanaugh reports:
