Biden, Accountant Hit With IRS Whistleblower Claim That Prez Owes at Least $127K

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden and his accountant are facing new IRS whistleblower complaints alleging that Biden owes at least $127,000 in back taxes.

The complaints were filed by Chris Jacobs, a former Republican aide on Capitol Hill, to coincide with Monday’s federal tax filing deadline.

“Federal agencies must implement laws on a non-partisan basis,” Jacobs told The Post. “The fact that the IRS did not audit Joe Biden’s 2017 through 2019 returns, despite several articles publicly raising questions about the propriety of his actions, raises questions about how the IRS administers our nation’s tax laws, and whether political considerations played a role in the IRS’ decisions.”

Biden and his wife, Jill, avoided paying Medicare taxes on book income and speaking fees in 2017 and 2018 by routing $13.3 million through “S corporations” and counting a small amount as eligible for the federal health care tax.

The strategy is commonly used by wealthy people to dodge the 3.8% Medicare levy on large amounts of income and experts say the IRS lacks the resources to aggressively pursue cases of underpayment.

DOJ Will Appeal Ruling Nixing Mask Mandates

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Justice announced Tuesday evening the Biden administration will appeal Monday’s ruling by a federal judge in Florida striking down mask mandates for travel.

“The Department of Justice and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) disagree with the district court’s decision and will appeal, subject to CDC’s conclusion that the order remains necessary for public health. The Department continues to believe that the order requiring masking in the transportation corridor is a valid exercise of the authority Congress has given CDC to protect the public health. That is an important authority the Department will continue to work to preserve,” DOJ released in a statement. “On April 13, 2022, before the district court’s decision, CDC explained that the order would remain in effect while it assessed current public health conditions, and that the Transportation Security Administration would extend its directive implementing the order until May 3 to facilitate CDC’s assessment.”

Biden Airplane Mask Mandate Ruled Illegal; Liberals Aren’t Doing Well Since Biden’s Mandate Got Struck Down

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden’s “Mask Mandate” on federal airplanes is illegal, a federal judge ruled on Monday in a setback to Biden’s COVID-19 agenda.

One day after taking office, Biden issued Executive Order (EO) 13998, ordering the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to develop the Mask Mandate, and for various other federal agencies like the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to implement the CDC’s decisions. EO 13998 also covered airports and other public transportation, such as buses.

CDC issued its initial order on January 29, 2021, pursuant to Biden’s EO. Among other things, it requires almost everyone ages two and up to wear masks in airports and on airplanes, with certain narrow exceptions such as between bites when they are eating.

Various legal challenges have been filed against the mandate. (Full disclosure: The author of this article is also one of the lawyers on one such lawsuit, FRC Action v. Biden, which Breitbart News reporter Katherine Hamilton has covered.) Most recently, almost two dozen states filed a lawsuit raising several statutory and constitutional objections to the Mask Mandate.

Monday’s ruling was on one of the earliest cases, filed in July 2021. The lawsuit alleged that the Mask Mandate violated the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) on three separate grounds: First, that issuing the order is beyond CDC’s statutory authority granted by Congress in 42 U.S.C. § 264a. Second, that the CDC’s action was really a rule (i.e., a regulation) rather than an order, and therefore had to go through a process of public notice and opportunity for public comment before taking effect. And third, that it violates the APA because it is “arbitrary and capricious,” meaning that it was not the result of reasoned decision making.

Liberals Aren’t Doing Well Since Biden’s Mask Mandate Got Struck Down

By Townhall. After a federal judge in Florida struck down the Biden administration’s mask mandate for most forms of travel including planes, trains, and public transit, liberal media figures did not take the news well.

While the decision was celebrated by many sane Americans and Republican leaders, Katie pointed out on Twitter that the double-standard employed by many liberals in the mainstream media.

Their outrage is especially confusing given the mandate was set to expire on May 3 after a 15-day extension by the Biden administration was announced last week. But that didn’t stop the Twitter storm from raging as the often-hypocritical members of the liberal media apparently ignore the fact that anyone is still free to wear a mask wherever and whenever they like, however silly they may look.

Report: Two Major Airlines Announce They Will Ignore Court Ruling Ending Mask Mandate

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Two major U.S. airlines have announced that they will continue to enforce Democrat President Joe Biden’s mask mandate on public transportation despite a federal judge ruling on Monday that the mandate was “unlawful” and that it must be “terminate[d].” . . .

The announcement from the two airlines comes after U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle for the Middle District of Florida ruled earlier in the day that the mandate was unlawful because the mandate “exceeded the CDC’s statutory authority, improperly invoked the good cause exception to notice and comment rulemaking, and failed to adequately explain its decisions.”

The ruling said that Court declared the mandate to be unlawful because “our system does not permit agencies to act unlawfully even in pursuit of desirable ends.” (Read more from “Report: Two Major Airlines Announce They Will Ignore Court Ruling Ending Mask Mandate” HERE)

Biden, Harris Gave Less to Charity Than Others in Their Income Bracket

/0 Comments/in , /by

When it comes to charity, President Biden and Vice President Harris came up short compared to their fellow Americans, a review of their tax returns shows.

The president and First Lady Jill Biden reported $610,702 in income for 2021 and paid $183,925 in federal and state income taxes. The couple gave $17,394 to charity, or about 2.8%. That’s roughly 0.3 % less than the average charitable deduction for Americans making between $500,000 and $2 million, according to 2016 data from the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.

In Harris’ case, the disparity was worse. The vice president and her husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, earned $1,655,563 in 2021 and paid $523,371 in federal income taxes. The couple donated $22,100 — or 1.3% — to charity. The figure is considerably less than the 3.1% on average donated by those making between $500,000 and $2 million.

The giving disparity between the Biden and Harris families was first reported by Fox News. The Tax Policy Center data showed the poorest Americans were by far the most generous, with those making less than $50,000 who itemized charitable deductions donating 8.4%.

Biden’s largest charitable donation of 2021 was a $5,000 gift to the Beau Biden Foundation, named in honor of his son who died of cancer in 2015. The Bidens were considerably more generous in 2020, donating $30,704 of their income to charity, or about 5%.

Biden’s America: Gas Prices Expected to Get Even Worse

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. gas prices are expected to start climbing once again after a brief period of reprieve, some industry experts predict.

Gas prices — which have been on the rise for months — consistently hit record highs in March, easily topping well over $4.00 per gallon.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, looking at all grades and formulations in retail gas prices, the U.S. hit an average of $4.322 in March 2022 — roughly $1.70 more than the $2.594 average seen in March 2019, under former President Donald Trump.

However, while Americans have experienced a slowdown in the rise, industry experts expect it to tick back up yet again, as gas price futures rose 30 cents in the last week.

That is “just bad news for the consumer,” Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates, said according to Fox News. He believes prices could rise as high as $4.20 per gallon. (Read more from “Biden’s America: Gas Prices Expected to Get Even Worse” HERE)

Zelensky Calls on Biden to Visit Ukraine: ‘Come Here to See’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky called on President Biden to visit Ukraine to “come here to see” the devastation caused by Russian forces.

In an interview with CNN’s “State of the Union” that aired Sunday, Zelensky was asked if there were any plans for Biden to visit the country.

“I think he will. I mean, it’s his decision, of course,” Zelensky told anchor Jake Tapper on Friday. “And about the safety situation, it depends. I mean that. But I think he’s the leader of the United States, and that’s why he should come here to see.”

Biden previously told reporters during a visit to Poland last month that he wanted to visit the war-torn country but claimed others were preventing him.

“They will not let me, understandably, I guess, cross the border and take a look at what’s going on in Ukraine,” Biden said at a briefing on humanitarian operations in Rzeszow, southeastern Poland, without clarifying who was holding him back.

WATCH: Sleepy Joe Shakes Hands With Thin Air After Bizarre Speech

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. President Biden was left empty-handed following an address at a North Carolina university Thursday.

Biden, 79, had just finished delivering a nearly 40-minute speech at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in Greensboro when he turned toward stage right with his paw outstretched in a handshake position.

There was no one else on stage and no one from the applauding crowd approached the president to exchange the pleasantry, according to footage of the event.

Moment a Confused Looking Biden Sticks Out His Hand and Appears to Shake Thin Air After Falsely Claiming in Speech That He Had Also Been a ‘Full Professor’ at UPenn for Four Years

By Daily Mail. President Joe Biden looked lost again Thursday after finishing a speech on the nation’s ongoing supply chain crisis when he turned around and stuck his hand out as if to shake hands – but there was no one else on stage.

The 79-year-old president claimed before the handshake fiasco that he had served as a ‘full professor’ at the University of Pennsylvania despite never teaching a class at the school, in yet another gaffe that has Republicans questioning Biden’s cognitive abilities. . .

The speech also saw Biden bizarrely claim that he used to be a ‘full professor’ at the University of Pennsylvania.

‘I’ve been at a lot of university campuses, matter of fact for four years, I was a full professor at the University of Pennsylvania.’

Biden, from nearby Delaware, was named Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor, the first person to hold the role, in 2017. He did not teach regular classes but made about a dozen public appearances on the campus, mostly at big-ticketed events, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. He collected a pay check in 2017, 2018 and early 2019.

‘I Don’t Need Your Business’: Restaurant Owner Tells ‘Ignorant’ Biden Supporters to Dine Elsewhere

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Georgia restaurant owner posted a notice on the establishment’s window slamming President Joe Biden and his “ignorant” supporters and attributed the rise in supply costs and shortage of workers for his restaurant to the policies implemented by the Biden administration.

The sign, posted outside of an Appalachian Grill restaurant in Cartersville, Georgia, was initially shared Sunday in a Reddit forum before going viral on several social media platforms.

The notice instructed Biden voters who have no regrets about their vote in the 2020 election to take their business somewhere else.

“If you voted for Brandon’s Build Back BS and don’t have remorse or regrets I wish you would leave, I don’t need your business,” the notice read. Your ignorant, naive decision has more than doubled our costs of goods and depleted our labor force by more than triple.”

The mention of the name, “Brandon” was in reference to the phrase, “Let’s go, Brandon,” which became popular among Biden’s critics following a NASCAR race in early October, when an NBC Sports reporter interviewing winning driver Brandon Brown claimed the crowd was shouting “Let’s go, Brandon” when they were actually saying “F–k Joe Biden.” (Read more from “‘I Don’t Need Your Business’: Restaurant Owner Tells ‘Ignorant’ Biden Supporters to Dine Elsewhere” HERE)

Uh-Oh: Top Biden Pollster Warns ‘Most Americans Are Pissed’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s chief pollster John Anzalone warned Democrats about major electoral problems going into the 2022 midterms in an interview released Friday, although he believes that they can still avoid major losses.

Anzalone, who also worked on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, has previously warned of Biden’s low approval rating overall and among Hispanic voters in particular. He told Politico’s Ryan Lizza that voters are unhappy with the Democrats’ lack of action on key issues such as inflation and health care.

“Voters are very much in ‘What have you done for me lately?’ They always are. And they don’t feel Democrats can get their shit together and get things done,” Anzalone said.

“So if we’re able to do something — a skinny BBB or whatever — on health insurance costs, prescription drug costs, elderly care, childcare, that’s a big deal because it will give Democrats a competitive advantage on what they’re doing for working families. And it’ll cut through the inflation narrative, the Ukraine narrative, the Afghan narrative, the border narrative, etc.,” he continued.
