Trump Forces IRS to Quietly Shield Him and His Family from Tax Audits FOREVER – as President Escapes Potential $100m Bill

/12 Comments/in , , /by

Donald Trump’s administration has blocked the Internal Revenue Service from ever pursuing past audits against the President, his family, or his businesses, a maneuver that could spare him a tax bill estimated at up to $100 million.

The IRS is ‘forever barred and precluded’ from conducting ‘examinations’ of Trump, his ‘related or affiliated individuals,’ and any related trusts or businesses, according to a one-page DOJ document.

The provision was tacked onto an agreement reached earlier this week, when the Justice Department resolved a $10 billion lawsuit the President had brought against the agency by establishing a $1.8 billion fund for his political allies.

The order was signed by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal attorney, and quietly posted to the Justice Department’s website.

A prior IRS audit in 2024 on Trump’s tax filings could have cost Trump more than $100 million. It remains unclear whether that examination has concluded, or whether Trump, his family members, or affiliated entities are subject to any other audits.

Current IRS procedure mandates an annual audit of President’s tax returns. (Read more from “Trump Forces IRS to Quietly Shield Him and His Family from Tax Audits FOREVER – as President Escapes Potential $100m Bill” HERE)

Even The Most Loyal Young MAGA Warriors Jump Ship Over Iran War

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Young conservative activists who overwhelmingly backed President Donald Trump’s movement just months ago are now showing signs of fracture as the president’s Iran conflict drags on.

The divide has become increasingly visible among Turning Point USA’s (TPUSA) youth base, where young conservatives had recently rallied behind Trump-adjacent figures at AmericaFest before the war in Iran scrambled parts of the America First movement. Some TPUSA chapter leaders and young conservative activists are now gravitating toward anti-war figures such as Tucker Carlson, even as others remain loyal to the president.

Six chapter leaders have recently come out expressing their frustration with the president’s handling of the war with Iran, according to Politico. Trump’s pledge during his 2024 presidential campaign not to start any new wars struck a chord with young voters, who dramatically shifted to the right that cycle.

Steve Cortes, a former Trump campaign adviser and longtime America First commentator, told the Daily Caller News Foundation that while young voters were among Trump’s biggest growth groups in 2024, the president’s support among them has eroded amid economic frustration and the conflict in Iran.

“The two biggest groups where we made the biggest gains in 2024 for Trump and for Republicans were among Hispanics and young people,” Cortes told the DCNF. “Unfortunately, we’ve seen a complete erosion in both of those groups.” (Read more from “Even The Most Loyal Young MAGA Warriors Jump Ship Over Iran War” HERE)

Long-Lost Remains of 44 Revolutionary War Soldiers will Finally get Proper Burial in NY Town

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .The long-lost remains of what’s likely more than 40 Revolutionary War soldiers will be returned to an upstate town for a proper burial in a military graveyard Friday, officials said.

The fallen Army officers — whose bones were unearthed by chance during a construction project seven years ago — will be laid to rest in caskets at Lake George’s Battlefield Park as part of a sprawling 700,000 memorial project.

Construction crews stumbled on an 18th-century cemetery below Courtland Street in Lake George in 2019, and archaeologists later recovered what’s believed to be the remains of 44 soldiers.

The bones were later transported to the New York State Museum in Albany, where researchers painstakingly reconstructed the stories of the dead from thousands of recovered fragments.

Julie Weatherwax, a New York State Museum bioarcheology technician, said she spent months examining teeth to determine how many people they’d likely dug up.

“I spent the better part of a year putting together over 800 loose teeth and just trying to recreate the dental arcades for people,” Weatherwax told cbs6albany.com. “And that’s how we actually got the minimum number of 44 individuals was from the dental arcades I was able to put back together.” (Read more from “Long-Lost Remains of 44 Revolutionary War Soldiers will Finally get Proper Burial in NY Town” HERE)

Report Finds That Iran Downed 42 U.S. Jets as War Costs Top $29 Billion

/0 Comments/in , , /by

According to a congressional report, the U.S. has lost or damaged 42 aircraft in the Iran War, raising the Department of War’s cost estimate for the operations to $29 billion.

The report comes days after Acting Pentagon Comptroller Jules W. Hurst III testified during a May 12 hearing that the department’s cost estimate for military operations in Iran has increased to $29 billion.

Three F-15E Strike Eagles brought down by friendly fire over Kuwait were confirmed to have caused an estimated $300 million in damage on their own. The report, filed by the Congressional Research Service, confirmed earlier headlines about the cost of the jets that were brought down over Kuwait in March. . .

Four of them are listed as F-15E Strike Eagles – an older model with costly replacement parts. One F-15E Strike Eagle costs roughly $90 to $125 million per unit, according to Air Force estimates. Three of these models were shot down in Kuwait in friendly fire, while one shot down over Iran as the U.S. and Israel scrambled to pick up the pilots and crew unharmed.

The military also lost one F-35A Lightning II, worth approximately $82.5 million, an A-10 Thunderbolt II (often called the “Warthog”), worth approximately $13.4 million, and seven KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft, with each one ranging from $65 million to $79 million.

CIA Seized JFK, MKUltra Files Out From Under Tulsi Gabbard: Sources

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Two intelligence community officials confirmed to the Daily Caller that CIA officials took documents from the JFK and MKUltra files that were being reviewed by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard for declassification.

A CIA whistleblower testified to the Senate Homeland Security committee on Wednesday that the agency “took back 40 boxes of JFK and MKUltra files” and “illegally monitored the computer and phone usage” of Gabbard’s investigators looking into an alleged cover-up of the origins of Covid-19. Notably, MKUltra was an illegal CIA experiment program that used drugs and psychological torture to develop mind control and interrogation techniques.

NewsNation’s Katie Pavlich reported that “people from the CIA took documents (related to the JFK assassination/MKUltra) from the National Reconnaissance Office *last year* in the middle of the night during the government shutdown and have not returned/is withholding them from ODNI.”

Prior to James Erdmann III’s testimony, CIA spokesperson Liz Lyons claimed the Committee was acting in “bad faith” by not notifying the CIA that he would be testifying. (

“The witness testifying today is not appearing as a whistleblower in pursuit of the truth, but instead in response to the subpoena issued by Chairman Paul,” Lyons said.

How Our National Debt Jeopardizes Families’ Futures

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Contrary to what some on the right might believe, there are times when being in a red state is neither conservative nor positive. A recent Wall Street Journal column, titled “America Is in a Red State,” explains why.

By the end of the last quarter, the federal debt topped 100 percent of GDP. And this rising debt, fueled by persistent deficits, will harm the country’s economic prospects for generations in ways that today’s politicians seem not to care much about.

An article in the Journal noted, “As of March 31, the country’s publicly held debt was $31.265 trillion, while GDP over the preceding year was $31.216 trillion.” It isn’t the first time federal debt exceeded the size of the nation’s economy; our debt set a record (at least for now) of 106 percent of GDP in 1946, just after World War II. Federal debt also exceeded GDP for a short time in 2020 during the coronavirus panic, as the economy shrank under widespread lockdowns and Washington engaged in a gusher of “stimulus” spending. . .

In the absence of a financial crisis like those the Greek government faced over a decade ago, many families might wonder why they should care about abstract concepts like federal deficits and debt. The Journal article lists some of the reasons why decades of fiscal profligacy will make current and future generations poorer.

For starters, interest rates will rise. The growing debt burden requires the Treasury to issue more notes and bonds; getting the market to soak up that demand will lead to higher interest rates. As it is, the past several years have seen mortgage rates rise as the Federal Reserve (finally) stopped its money-printing policies.

Explosive: CIA Reportedly Waging Secret Bloody War Against Mexico Cartel

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Government sources revealed this week that the CIA is secretly waging war against the Mexican cartel.

Earlier this spring, on one of Mexico’s busiest highways, just outside the country’s capital, an inexplicable explosion destroyed a car carrying an alleged cartel operative in broad daylight.

Francisco Beltran and his driver were both instantly killed by the concentrated blast; their bodies were discovered hunched over in their seats. Images and video from the March 28 attack show the car rolling forward and sliding off the highway after a brief flare of flames.

Numerous sources said the explosion was a targeted killing carried out by CIA operations officers, despite the Mexican government’s intense secrecy surrounding it. The State of Mexico’s Attorney General told CNN that an explosive device had been concealed inside the car.

According to those sources and two other people acquainted with the campaign, the Beltran operation was a part of a larger, previously unknown CIA campaign inside Mexico, led by the agency’s elite and covert Ground Branch, to destroy the established cartel networks.

The Orwellian ‘Kill Switch’ Some Republicans Want In Your Car

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Congress quietly passed an Orwellian regulation during former President Joe Biden’s term requiring all new cars to feature a “kill switch,” raising the alarm among some Republicans — but not all of them.

Republicans like Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, Texas Rep. Chip Roy, and Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry have led the charge in the House to scrap the invasive regulation, calling it “impractical” and “Orwellian.” Yet in the most recent January vote to reverse the regulation, 57 Republicans joined nearly every Democrat to mandate that every 2027 model car have a kill switch.

This feature would use technology to assess the driver’s performance and determine whether they are impaired. If the car determines the driver is unfit to be behind the wheel, the kill switch would shut the car off, raising concerns about safety, surveillance, and implementation.

“This is why we lose, the uniparty,” Massie told Tucker Carlson in a recent interview. “I can’t get 218 people to take this provision of law out of law.”

The regulation became law under Biden after Congress passed the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Since then, Massie has led two failed votes to counter the regulation originally intended to curb drunk driving. (Read more from “The Orwellian ‘Kill Switch’ Some Republicans Want In Your Car” HERE)

Mystery of Sunken Russian ‘Ghost Ship’ Grows after Explosions Reported while Carrying Alleged Nuclear Reactors to North Korea

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The mystery of how a Russian cargo ship sank deepened after it was revealed that the vessel suffered multiple explosions while allegedly carrying two nuclear reactors believed to be bound for North Korea, according to a new report.

The prevailing theory suggests that the West might have been involved in the incident that saw the Ursa Major sink 60 miles off the coast of Spain on Dec. 23, 2024, CNN reported.

The ship, also known as the Sparta 3, appeared to have been hit by a rare type of torpedo that breached the ship’s hull and forced it to sink to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, according to Spanish investigators.

The investigation suggested that the only thing that could have breached the ship was the Barracuda supercavitating torpedo, a powerful weapon of which only the US, a few NATO countries, Russia and Iran are believed to be in possession.

In the aftermath of the incident, the ship’s Russian captain allegedly told Spanish investigators that Ursa Major was hauling “components for two nuclear reactors similar to those used in submarines,” with the sailor unsure if the reactors were loaded with atomic fuel, CNN reported.

Child Predator Cults Tied To 450 People In Growing FBI Crackdown

/0 Comments/in , , /by

FBI investigations of a heinous online child predator network have expanded to target more than 450 people, the bureau said on Tuesday.

Officials continue to crack down on groups going by names such as “764” that lure children into violent online communities and induce them toward self-harm or sexual acts, FBI Dallas Special Agent in Charge Joe Rothrock said in a statement warning parents and schoolteachers. Authorities have traced similar groups’ beginnings to at least 2019, announcing more than 350 subjects of investigations by late last year.

“Their members often connect with minors on popular online gaming and social media platforms, build their trust by posing as friends, and then coerce them into harming themselves or others,” Rothrock said of the predators.

The growing federal crackdown on 764-style networks spans multiple presidencies and now involves all 56 FBI field offices, according to authorities. The Trump administration has increasingly described them with the new label “Nihilistic Violent Extremists,” criminals who seek to cause harm “primarily from a hatred of society at large and a desire to bring about its collapse by sowing indiscriminate chaos, destruction, and social instability.”

Groups fitting that description also promote violence beyond sexual exploitation, including school shootings and political assassinations, and embrace Satanic or Nazi symbolism, Daily Caller News Foundation reporting shows.
