The IRS Plans to Hire Gun-Carrying Special Agents in All 50 States

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is looking to hire special agents who carry guns and make arrests with jobs available in all 50 states, according to a posting on the agency’s website.

The law enforcement branch of the IRS, known as the Criminal Investigation (CI) division, is hiring for the role at locations throughout the U.S. IRS special agents within the CI division are the only IRS employees who are authorized by law to carry and use firearms. IRS-CI investigates financial crimes, money laundering, tax-related identity theft and terrorist financing efforts.

Under the posting’s “major duties” section, the IRS says that special agents “[c]arry a firearm; must be prepared to protect him/herself or others from physical attacks at any time and without warning and use firearms in life-threatening situations; must be willing to use force up to and including the use of deadly force.”

Additionally, IRS-CI special agents must be “willing and able to participate in arrests, execution of search warrants, and other dangerous assignments.” The posting adds that special agents need to maintain “a level of fitness necessary to effectively respond to life-threatening situations on the job.” (Read more from “The IRS Plans to Hire Gun-Carrying Special Agents in All 50 States” HERE)

Trump Retires Infamous Nickname for Hillary Clinton — And Reveals New One for Biden

Former President Donald Trump said “Crooked Joe Biden” poses a “threat to democracy,” vowing to “crush” him at the ballot box in November 2024 and to “settle our unfinished business.”

Trump on Thursday hosted a campaign rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, welcoming the crowd of nearly 2,000 people and touting more than 50 endorsements from Granite State officials, while reacting to Biden’s pre-taped re-election campaign announcement.

“Joe Biden officially announced that he will seek four more disastrous years in the White House,” Trump said, vowing to “rescue America” from another four years of “disastrous” Democratic policies.

Trump, who currently is leading the Republican 2024 presidential primary field by more than 30 points in a number of new polls this week, including the latest Fox News poll, shifted to make a “major announcement.”

“I will be retiring the name ‘Crooked’ from Hillary Clinton,” Trump said. “And I’m going to give her a new name — I don’t know, like maybe ‘Lovely Hillary’ or ‘Beautiful Hillary’ — but I’m going to retire the name ‘Crooked’ so that we can use the name for Joe Biden, because he’ll be known from now on as ‘Crooked Joe Biden.'” (Read more from “Trump Retires Infamous Nickname for Hillary Clinton — And Reveals New One for Biden” HERE)

East Palestine Mayor Endorses Trump: ‘Joe Was Too Busy to Visit’

East Palestine, Ohio mayor makes his case for why former President Trump is the true leader of the U.S. while taking shots at President Joe Biden and his shady son.

Mayor Trent Conaway endorsed Trump for 2024 while speaking at the annual Lincoln Day Dinner alongside Eric Trump, Jr. He was recognized for stepping up to the plate as his small town was affected by a toxic train derailment, leaving residents having to flee their homes.

While Biden, who has never visited the town, sat back and did nothing, Trump took the time and brought much-needed supplies, such as pallets of bottled water, to residents as hazardous material flooded East Palestine.

“I would first like to thank Joe Biden and Hunter Biden – oh, that’s right, they were busy,” Conaway began before praising the Trump family for helping the Ohio residents. (Read more from “East Palestine Mayor Endorses Trump: ‘Joe Was Too Busy to Visit’” HERE)

Biden Authorizes DOD to Deploy Personnel to Border as International Drug Trafficking Crisis Intensifies

President Joe Biden authorized Defense Department officials on Thursday to deploy active duty and reserve soldiers to the U.S.-Mexico border amid an international drug trafficking crisis overwhelming the southern border and American communities.

Biden issued an executive order enclosed in a letter to Congress authorizing Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to “order to active duty units and individual members of the Ready Reserve … to ensure DOD can sustain its support of DHS concerning international drug trafficking along the southwest border.”

Since Biden took office over two years ago, lawmakers estimate up to six million illegal immigrants have crossed the southern border, which has drawn wide criticism from critics of the administration who argue drug cartels have taken advantage of Biden’s open border policies by smuggling deadly narcotics inside the U.S.

Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Administrator Anne Milgram told Republican members of a House Appropriations Committee panel during a budget hearing on Thursday that authorities estimated more than 107,000 Americans died last year from violence and drug overdose at the hands of two major Mexican drug cartels — the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation criminal organizations.

Disarray Consumes Fox News as Murdochs Attempt to Reassert Control With Carlson, Bongino Ousters

Fox News is trying to sideline former Tucker Carlson Tonight host Tucker Carlson through the 2024 election, multiple sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News.

Carlson’s current contract runs through December 2024, and as of now three sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News that executives at the network are trying to keep Carlson on contract and not release him until after the 2024 election. The shocking decision to cancel Carlson’s top-rated weeknight program came just days after the network shut down its top-rated weekend program with host Dan Bongino. What follows here is an insider account from people actually in the know after Breitbart News spent the past several days interviewing key players in the personnel matters at Fox News, asking what really happened.

Two things are clear from speaking to people who actually know what’s happening on the inside: First, the official narrative from the network is untrue. Second, and perhaps more importantly, many of the leaks and speculation that have poured out in the past couple days since the bombshell news of Carlson’s show getting canceled was announced are also simply untrue.

Nobody would speak on the record, for a number of reasons. First off, Fox News and the broader Murdoch empire are known for their ruthlessness against anyone who speaks the truth about what is actually happening there. Network spokeswoman Irena Briganti is believed to use outlets also owned by the Murdochs like the New York Post and Wall Street Journal to plant pieces that reflect poorly on foes of News Corporation.

Secondly, both Carlson and Bongino are technically still under contract by the network. Bongino’s contract runs through the end of April and Carlson’s through the 2024 general election. Both are, sources say, trying to negotiate exit packages—and even after they formally have those agreements in place, there will be non-disparagement clauses that prevent them from ever speaking the truth about this.

Report: Donald Trump Is Considering Naming Ron DeSantis His VP on 2024 Ticket

Former President Donald Trump is reportedly considering whether to name Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as his running mate in 2024, RadarOnline.com has learned.

In a shocking development to come after months of attacks waged against DeSantis by Trump, the former president’s campaign team is reportedly urging Trump to consider naming the Florida governor as his vice president in an effort to secure the Republican nomination in next year’s presidential election. . .

“Some of his supporters are suggesting he make a deal with DeSantis to make him VP, and he’s listening, but hasn’t agreed,” one source familiar with the matter told Page Six on Tuesday.

“Supporters say the VP offer would stop DeSantis from opposing [Trump] and offer a ‘youthful conservative vigor’ to the slot, which Biden doesn’t have,” the insider continued. “DeSantis would also bring in big money to the campaign.”

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, DeSantis has yet to officially announce his own 2024 White House bid – although he is allegedly preparing to do so at the end of May. (Read more from “Report: Donald Trump Is Considering Naming Ron DeSantis His VP on 2024 Ticket” HERE)

Steve Bannon Suggests Murdochs Took Tucker Carlson off Air to Keep Trump from Winning the 2024 Election

Former White House Chief strategist Steve Bannon theorized that the decision by Fox News to part ways with star host Tucker Carlson could be part of a more diabolical plan to sway the 2024 elections.

Bannon conjured the theory with Charlie Kirk during an appearance on The Charlie Kirk Show Tuesday as they discussed the cable news shake-up.

“Tucker is under contract. I think he’s the highest paid, by far person, not just at Fox, but in all mainstream cable news. He was negotiating, his agents and lawyers were negotiating an extension of his contract through 2029 when this happened,” Bannon said. “…He was negotiating an extension of this massive contract, I think it’s pretty clear, particularly the way they did it and showed no respect to him. They blew him out.” . . .

“So the way these contracts are written is, they can take you off air. They can essentially ‘We parted ways,’ but as long as they meet the terms of that contract and paying you.” Bannon said.

“As long as they pay Tucker. And I think this contract from what I’m told — runs a couple of years, they’ve taken him off. What the Murdochs have done is taken the populous voice, the anti-Ukraine voice, the anti-uniparty voice, the platform in mainstream media and primetime. The only voice out there of populous nationalism, right? They’ve taken it off through the 2024 election, which is, I’ve said from day one is what the Murdoch’s plan here is,” Bannon said.

No, Gun Violence Isn’t the Leading Cause of Death among Children

I recently wrote about an extraordinarily misleading Kaiser Family study that claimed “1 in 5” Americans have a family member who has been killed by a gun. Kaiser’s inflated findings were based on a small sample size of self-reported answers to questions that offered no useful limiting parameters.

In many ways, another endlessly repeated contention of gun controllers suffers from the same problem: Gun violence is the number one cause of death of children in America. Virtually every media outlet and Democrat repeats this contention — including, recently, the vice president. The claim is meant to conjure up distressing images of frolicking kids in parks and schools being gunned down by assault weapons. . .

We don’t really know which study Harris based her comments on, if any. And different sources come to different conclusions. None of them, however, are grounded in our familiar understanding of “children.” These studies count adults who are 18 and 19, and sometimes up to 25, years of age. Americans under 18 can’t purchase guns legally. That age seems, at the very least, the most obvious divide between adults and children. Because when you take 18- and 19-year-old adults out of the equation, the number of gun-related deaths among kids plummets considerably.

According to the CDC, the number one killer of children between 1-14 are accidents — vehicular, suffocation, and drowning. Twice as many kids under 12 died in cars than from guns. Also, if these studies began at birth rather than starting at one, the leading killer of all children would be diseases and genetic abnormalities. Surely a one-year-old is as much a “kid” as a 19-year-old. (And if you begin at fetal viability, by far the leading killer of young people would be late-term abortions — more than 8,000 viable unborn, and probably more than 50,000 performed after 15 weeks.)

Grassley Corroborates Whistleblower Claim: FBI Labeled Damning Evidence ‘Russian Disinfo’ to Protect Bidens

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, revealed in a floor speech on Tuesday that material reviewed by his investigative staff supported whistleblower allegations that the FBI falsely labeled evidence of potential criminal conduct by members of the Biden family “Russian disinformation.” While Grassley had previously discussed the whistleblower allegations, he now confirmed for the first time that an independent review of the pertinent records supported the accusations.

In response to last week’s announcement by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer that he planned to offer a resolution denouncing former President Donald Trump’s call to defund the FBI, Grassley excoriated Democrats for remaining silent while the country faced an uptick in violence against law enforcement officers and the radical left pushed to defund the police. The Iowa senator then chastised Democrats for offering a political resolution that ignored the weaponization of the FBI, proceeding then to catalog the DOJ and FBI’s many abuses.

Here, Grassley stressed that protected whistleblower disclosures made “clear that the FBI has within its possession very significant, very impactful, and very voluminous evidence with respect to potential criminal conduct by members of the Biden family.”

“I know the FBI falsely labeled that evidence as Russian disinformation to bury it,” Grassley continued, revealing that his staff had “independently reviewed records” that support the whistleblower allegations.

Whistleblower: Federal Government Facilitating ‘Multi-Billion-Dollar Child Trafficking Operation’ at U.S. Border

A whistleblower who worked at President Joe Biden’s Health and Human Services (HHS) says the federal government is facilitating a “multi-billion-dollar child trafficking operation” at the United States-Mexico border that delivers migrant children to traffickers, abusers, and others looking to exploit them.

On Wednesday, House Judiciary Subcommittee Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement Chair Tom McClintock (R-CA) held a hearing with experts and whistleblowers regarding the Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) program, overseen by the Biden administration, that releases migrant children to sponsors throughout American communities.

Tara Lee Rodas, who worked at HHS in 2021 before blowing the whistle on the UAC program, testified that the federal government is merely a “middleman” in a migrant child trafficking operation that has proven lucrative for the Mexican drug cartels and the sponsors the children end up living with inside the U.S. . .

I must confess; I knew nothing about their suffering until 2021 when I volunteered to help the Biden administration with the crisis at the southern border. As part of Operation Artemis, I was deployed to the Pomona Fairplex Emergency Intake Site in California to help the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) reunite children with sponsors in the U.S. [Emphasis added]

I thought I was going to help place children in loving homes. Instead, I discovered that children are being trafficked through a sophisticated network that begins with being recruited in their home country, smuggled to the U.S. border, and ends when ORR delivers a child to a sponsors – some sponsors are criminals and traffickers and members of Transnational Criminal Organizations. Some sponsors view children as commodities and assets to be used for earning income — this is why we are witnessing an explosion of labor trafficking. [Emphasis added]
