“Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel.”
Mark Twain
Ah but that’s a two edged sword in the days of the internet. Journalists are constitutionally unable to keep from responding even when (actually especially when) someone dares to criticise themselves. The First Amendment was trotted out because, unlike the other parts of the First Amendment about, oh let’s say religion or peaceful assembly or free speech which are tricky, freedom of the press is clear to the press. They get to define it. How dare the sheriff take a “tone” with them!
We are becoming a society of sociopaths, who refuse to think about consequences beyond the end of their noses. They think that we should bend toward following their poorly thought out opinions. They follow the smoothest road, never mind the fact that it leads over a cliff.
The Sheriff should be working with the press as much as possible, always.
Transparency is good.
some people can’t handle the truth
Spot on…
You say that members of the press are saints who never overstep in the pursuit of the story? Really? Maybe it’s equally true that the press should be working with the Sheriff. And I think sending in a private cadaver sniffing dog in order to get a story might very well be such an overstepping. Just in the name of transparency- which is a highly overrated or at least over touted virtue as the Kobe Bryant trial going on illuminates. There’s a great difference between reporting a story and creating one for profit.
I looked several times but I can find not one comment about members of the press being “saints.” Nada, zip. The suggestion was that LEOs work with the press within the law.
Siskiyou County Sheriff has had some bad publicity, if memory serves. They resent the spotlight on substandard performance and may consider their complaint as a preemptive strategy for future errors.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but wasn’t it Siskiyou County where a local geek was a known trouble-maker, good ‘ol boy who was unsurveiled until he showed up at a school with a rifle? An alert secretary hit the panic, lockdown button and probably averted a tragedy.
I apologize in advance if I’m wrong. This apparently inexperienced Sheriff has invited extra scrutiny on his Department.
As far as I have heard no one sent in a private cadaver sniffing dog. The one incident that the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Dept is known to have referred to is an ABC reporter took a woman back to her own residence inside fire lines and the woman’s uncle’s body was discovered by them.
That guy is a dick.
Speaking of journalists and the press. Our nation’s biased and corrupt lame stream media is the propaganda arm of the democrat party.
The city of Etna just got sued over a K-9 dog mauling in Redding where the owner of the K-9, Mendes, is employed by the Etna police department. Mendes is buddies with Carlos Zapata, Shasta counties alt-right leader and purchased Zapatas martial arts studio. Law enforcement pretty much failed in any investigation.
The article is from anewscafe.com, similar to RHBB but blatantly liberal, fighting the good fight heroically and well done / good writers and investigative journalism (IMO). There are horrid pictures of the injuries and a detailed article. There are postings by the young boy’s mother and her search for resolution despite corrupt and crony police work.
Hope the Oakland law firm rains hell on these evil asshats.
https://anewscafe.com/2022/08/05/redding/high-profile-bay-area-civil-rights-law-firm-to-represent-dog-mauling-victim/
The extremists did get a little hold on government there.
As if the far left Progressive is not extremist too. As several major cities have discovered to their citizen’s horror. Who would have thought San Francisco would ever recall a Progressive AG?
There were non-extremest Republicans in control of Shasta Co. before this current group.
Remember there are exreme differences within the Republican base and elected officials currently.
Pence and Trump are backing separate running officials within the party.
Trump was just raided by the FBI.
He tried to stop the transition of power.
Let’s be real about what is “extreme”.
Pelosi and Democrats conducted a witch hunt with federal money leading to two motions for impeachment, started on the belief that Trump must be a criminal. With nothing for hard evidence but squeezing out obstruction accusation anyway. And totally pretending that hard evidence of Biden’s improper hand in the Ukraine didn’t exist. That Trump was willing to let the country suffer, in fact encourage it, over an election he probably saw as just as dishonest was his personal defect. But to pretend that the Democrats Congress were not worse is blind. They had at it for 4 years with government money. Yes, let’s be real indeed.
Trump may be a PITA and may have created a lot of dissection but Pelosi et al behaved worse and continue with regard to making every polarization worse. This raid is just the latest stupidity in the pursuit of an anti Trump agenda that would likely fade away if not continually renewed. Info the French President? Clemancy for Stone? This was reason to push the country farther into chaos? As Oprah Winfrey has said, “The thing you fear most has no power. Your fear of it is what has the power. Facing the truth really will set you free.” As I would say “Do you want to destroy what you are claiming to save?”
Perhaps they do want to destroy our centuries old government and establish their authoritarian regime. Don’t dismiss the possibility
Cloward-Pivens, etc.
Trump is a POS. Biden sucks too. I’d love to see a politician that we could vote FOR, rather than against.
I loved the airplane that towed the HA HA HA HA HA sign over turmups mar-a-Lago House. 😁
Your president has dementia and he’s selling our country to China. And your laughing at that. Man I can’t make this crap up
You nailed it Jim…
You can not possibly defend the actions taken the past 18 months as anything but a war on the peaceful citizens. Those who are upset, 75 plus million and growing numbers of people who feel like domestic violence is what defines our relationship with the administrative state. You are a smart cookie, and maybe even beginning to realize how the system is weaponized against US.
WHY ON EARTH DO WE NEED ALL THESE BIOLOGICAL LABS THAT PLAY GOD WITH HUMANITY?
PLAUSIBLE Deniability, to get rid of those who are old enough to remember why we fight against tyranny
Again, the former President (who tried to stop the transition of power) and former Vice President are battling between endorsements.
How are the democrats involved in that?
Maybe there’s more going on than you acknowledge.
What about dementia Joe? What’s your opinion on that
Well that’s an idea that cuts both ways. Maybe “more going on” is the Democrats constantly use Trump to divert their adherents from criticising their own constant overreaching. Or worse, the negative results when they actually succeed in getting control. Anytime there are issues with their own, they poke a stick at Trump and his followers. He responds predictably and creates a timely diversion.
Frankly I think it’s much more simple than any grand plot. The Democrats, consummate political animals that they are, were so smugly sure after the Obama Presidency, where they won with what would have been a previously unelectable Black Man, that they were on the road to a vast consensus about how great their policies are. They had arrived and the rest was only details. They were appalled to discover, after the election tested their ideas of a golden liberal age, their choice in the march to the shining city on the Hill ,a woman who already had a good political machine, lost. And to prove America was wrong to elect Trump, they spent a gross amount effort in making sure it was not going to have success. No matter how much radicalisation it exacerbated. Then January 6th turned around to put them on notice that they too could be drawn into the chaos. There is no wrath like that of a Democrat Congressman scorned. A thousand rioters could burn down whole city block without their turning a hair but put them in the line of so much less fire? Oh the outrage! Despite a huge protest actually having done so little real damage.
This explanation comes from the level of shock and anger expressed by liberals over Clinton’s loss. Not so much they supported Clinton as they were offended by any other Americans thumbing the most at the sacred ideals of liberals. Rather than face criticism or rethinking their premises, that their goals are not universally wanted, they created the war between the army of good (naturally themselves) and the army of evil (naturally not themselves.) That has become a disgusting pattern- both sides disregarding the damage they do to the country in pursuit of personal vindication. Not one of the adherents on either side has enough patriotism to save the country by refusing to play the game. They both indulgently see grand ideals in what is really stupid schoolyard fighting over who gets to use the swings. Ugly is not a harsh enough word.
How do you think the republicans would fair if they just stand back silently and let the democrats continue on their course of destruction?
There’s much more at stake than using the swings. Unless you prefer ending up in a CCP style system, known only as a number, and your life depends on your compliance to the system.
I was watching National Geographic last night on drug smuggling. They went back to the 70s and 80s when the heroine increased in NY by 80%.
It was coming from Burma, the triangle,
and the DEA was trying to stop it, only to find out the CIA was financing it.
Biden has mourned and moaned over Beau’s cancer, but not a peep about the drugs that have defiantly damaged Hunter… why no anger there? He stated a war on cancer, why no war on fentanyl?
That gives me reason to wonder about Holders fast and furious and today’s drug imports.
I’m sure it can be found online at NG.
My point being, if you think these agencies wouldn’t plant papers in the boxes from the raid at Trumps, you’re naive.
Dem or Repub, They are in a club, and you’re not in it, you’re expendable.
Peace out.
I told you that you wouldn’t last.
Just because you say “tried to stop the transition of power” don’t make it so.
The J6 committee withdrew their subpoena of Trump, if that’ll aid your thinking.
🤦♂️
Because they are done with their time.
They recommended serious criminal charged for the orange fat fascist.
Spot on…Petulant Pelosi and the deep state will stop at nothing to screw President Trump. They wasted $$$ hundreds of millions of our money on baseless investigations and circus trials. And the beat goes on with the Illegal Mar-O Lago raid…
They know if Trump gets back in office, he will tear the lid off Pandora’s box.
I’m reluctant to say these days that’s never going to happen as outside influences have created much delusion of popularity. I suppose if Demorats run an even worse than normal candidate and if the GOP old guard has lost all control of the nomination process, it could happen. I hope not. What makes you think he could possibly do more than he did the last time with the Democrats chewing on him even more? Unless of course you would want a tyrant with a personality cult to destroy the Constitution to let him have the power?
Trump voters don’t want the GOP old guard, and don’t really see Trump as a Repub. More like a Maverick.
This makes me think he could do more… If he can get elected.
A second term for former president could revive Schedule F
https://www.axios.com/2022/07/22/trump-presidency-schedule-f-federal-employees
I think many people would like to see a schedule F type clean up, that’s where Trumps personality could cause trouble.
The Dems have already shown that they are out to destroy the Constitution.
Things aren’t looking good in either direction. I don’t see a competent person on the horizon.
He may try; but the only way to do it is to fire 90 percent of federal employees, including most of the Admirals and Generals.
You really believe your nonsense. The Democratic Party is the communist party you guys got played.
“Tried to stop” vs. “complained about perceived election issues” is a pretty big gap…
And the FBI has been after Trump since before he beat Hilary in 2016…
Not saying he’s a saint, either; but all LEOs should be completely apolitical or fired.
Yes his name is Joe Biden and his crack head son that there is literal pictures and E mails of proven corruption unlike the newest dem witch hunt of the month. Facts.
For a moment, let’s assume the best for the majority of Democrats and Republicans. Let’s assume they/we act with the best of intentions.
For the GoP and some of the Trump supporters, their support came with the best of intentions – they believed he would disrupt the stagnant and corrupt system and begin to make necessary changes. They provided this support with the best of intentions.
Trump’s rampant criminality and worse – seditious incitement to inssurection, espionage and perhaps treason – all in service to his ego, not the country, is a difficult thing (apparantly) for his supporters to admit to themselves because if they did so, they would realize they have been complicit in this tyranny.
So, they double down, lying to themselves and others again and again and like a severely mentally ill person, they develop their own delusional system of belief as to what the reality of Trump and Trumpism really is.
For us Democrats – what’s the worse that an investigation of Hunter Biden can produce? 1- he is utterly corrupt and compromised, perhaps as the result of flawed character, drug problem, and using his father’s name and position for benefiting himself or 2- father Joe may be complicit in his criminality.
We Democrats could deal with #2, many of us realize Joe is working for the nation, not himself (and not necessarily his son) and even if he violated the law, we are good with him being held accountable and falling from political grace. We can deal with that reality and move on to the next leader from the Dems.
Trump’s carnage is so vile and evil that many of his supporters can not get past denial to move to anger and action. They are stuck, and so is our country. We can’t break their concentration for their best intentions, but we need to somehow.
Maybe Trump in orange jump suit, handcuffs, on the way to federal prison would do it.
Chronic TDS is a mental disease…
Not quite. Biden’s son’s issues lead to valid question about Biden’s own “service to the country.” And whether he is or was guilty of crimes.
Even worse the media burying it repeatedly raises issues of whether they can be trusted at all and are freely exaggerating Trump’s misdeeds and mischaracterizing his followers in support of their own politics. The amount of scrutiny invested in rummaging through Trump’s dirty laundry without turning up much is a factor to be considered when the deliberate avoidance of such rummaging has actually turned up more with Biden. There have been no “carnage”. No “rampant criminality” found despite such intense effort.
It is always hard for objective people to get past the idea that a mass of Trump protesters, fond of arms as they were, who could have actually done things like take over government agencies or armed themselves from military cachet if they were really intent on insurrection but did not.
The Capital building is not such a useful place to act if it was a widespread goal rather than a protest. Or that Trump could have directed specifically them towards that goal if he wanted yet only told them to take their protest to the Capital.
No. It’s not only Trump’s followers who are stuck. Liberals and Democrats are sure that Trump must be as evil as they fear despite much effort having not turned up much. They are as fanatical as any Trump follower in their determination to insist on it. Trump is a demagogue but the Democrats are a demagogue machine.
I live in Ft. Jones and the Etna City Police patrol here…I have not heard this about the deputy and his affiliation with the Redding bunch. I discovered ‘A News Cafe’ some weeks back and it’s amusing when not scary to read about Anselmo/Zapata contingent. Thankfully they lost big time in June elections…
As far as Jeremiah La Rue–just another ‘constitutional’ sheriff–you know, like you have over there in Humboldt…who sees “Antifa” buses everywhere…
Seeing La Rue posture and primp on the fire briefings was sickening—blah blah blah we’re the greatest…’our’ community…quack quack, pose pose.
When I moved here 5 years ago…it quickly became clear; Siskiyou rednecks make Humboldt rednecks look sophisticated~
Thank you firefighters…my home is safe for the moment thanks to all your hard work!! On to the next conflagration…
Speaking of Looters….!
The most impressive psyop I’ve seen lately is turning a bunch of ideological “leftists” into staunch supporters and defenders of the fucking IRS.
I mean that’s truly embarrassing.
How is this related to the fire?
It’s not. At all. Just venting because they just realized that trump really is a criminal, but deflecting the facts. Butt hurt is one term that might be appropriate.
Some folks are going to have to explain how they came to drive a $75,000 pickup truck on declared incomes that challenge the poverty line. They aren’t butt hurt yet —
Tax cheats should bear the full brunt of the law starting with Hunter Biden.
I’d like to see the Bidens, the Trumps, the Musks, etc., all get audited. Annually. Make the rich pay their share.
I would as well, but the billions planning to be spent on additional IRS agents and now looking at small transactions in online payment apps (PayPal, Venmo, etc.) paints another picture.
There coming for the small business and the side job/hustle that the middle class relies on.
They aren’t going for the big corps.
It’s just conflated bullshit and paranoia.
Janet Yellen directed to the IRS that with the additional IRS agents added, that audit chances will not change for people making less than $400k per year.
People should really do at least a tiny bit of fact finding before twisting their panties.
She very well might not mean what you think. The not detailed directive of a political appointee for public consumption is unlikely to be what will happen if the actual law is followed. The first thing that occurs is that some people would not have been considered to be earning $400k per year under previous regulations but will be under the new. Voilá. And then a whole lot of people are not subject to audits for the convenience of the IRS, not because there is some regulation barring it. Now that they can, who knows.
But maybe IRS will finally pay my refund from 2020 now. Or at least from 2021.
…
how the poor have fewer tools to hold the wealthy accountable. Look at how our system has been capturedone by those who get very wealthy in public service. Obama was a community organizer, one term senator, presidential candidate, and after his presidency, Is wealthier beyond any (black) man who built his own business in that same time period. If you honestly can’t meditate on how this happens with a subjective approach to how influence and power is much more profitable than being a wage earner, like the majority of the world, then you can’t fundamentally understand what is wrong with this system. https://www.afr.com/work-and-careers/management/the-obamas-are-worth-30-times-more-than-when-they-entered-the-white-house-20180912-h159bg https://www.businessinsider.com/barack-obama-michelle-obama-net-worth-2018-7 Say what you want. DONALD TRUMP probably lost what the OBAMAs have made. Think about those very important facts as to the nature of public service, and why , even at the local level, we see the same kinds of behavior…just a much smaller scale. The working people in this world are the most exploited people who on earth who are forced to accept a system that wants to control everything about your life experience.
Oh quit it. You might as well go on and on about the fact that it’s a PITA to have to use lungs to get oxygen to live as to blame unequal wealth as the only source of evil. Most people chose to work for the rich if it gained them a livelihood and the appearance of security. And most people don’t really want to eliminate the rich- they want to be the rich.
“Earnings” are Net NOT Gross Income.
Mixing up the most basic concepts causes deep and profound “misconceptions”.
From there comes the
spiraling…and on down goes it…blah blah blah.
Now the gaslit poor and (low-mid) middle class will start defending the uber rich out of misconception and fear.
The ~87K agents will be added over 10yrs in 5.7k-12k lots each yr over 10yrs.
The idea that IRS agents will threaten injury w guns to force people to pay taxes is absurd.
IRS has always had an armed force designated as LEOs, much like nearly every other federal agency
It is a small % of the overall IRS workforce which is primarily administrative.
THIS IS NOT NEW.
They expect to pull in ~$700Billion over 10yrs.
That’s ~$2058 per citizen over 10yrs.
$205.80 per year.
Primarily from people who make over $400k/yr.
The peasants should have their facts straight before they freak out about armed IRS agents as the billionaires & major millionaires flood the news sphere with propoganda that the IRS will come into your home w guns pointed at you & your kids.
Absurd ass bullshit.
We had 10s of thousands more IRS agents in 1995 than now.

Hello! The point is that congress and the IRS define what income counts for tax purposes as income and what doesn’t. Social Security has a level of exemption from being taxable. Donations to a tax exempt entity are not income. Municiple bond interest. Interest from a Ross IRA. Child support and alimony. Inheritance, gifts and welfare. Life insurance payouts.
The details matter and are constantly debated in Congress and called “loopholes” in the press.
I never said anything about “net.” Although the same lawmakers create what can be deducted too.
CBO says they’ll fall $20B/yr of revenue increase if they don’t increase tax compliance from <$400k taxpayers. So either Biden/Manchin/Schumer are lying about deficit reduction or Yellen is lying about who's going to be audited. One way or the other we're being lied to
Why should an agent of the administrative state get to take what you built and paid for, under the threat of lethal force, when that administrative state refuses to protect its own citizens from illegal immigrants, drug importation, billionaires who use their wealth to get people elected who act in direct opposition to the working class and their families needs, and by the amount of money it takes to run a successful campaign, it literally prevent common everyday people from having a seat at the table, while sending trillions overseas , in foriegn aid, when. It only serves to make the investor class even more wealthy and influential.
It’s been reported that only 30% of the money sent to Ukraine has been accounted for….
It makes perfect sense to see people protecting those who abuse them, because I am aware of the psychological aspect of the war we are the subject of.
Deep down, people are just fundamentally unable to divorce themselves from these top heavy control mechanisms….
People who understand how slavery was able to take hold and perpetuate for millenia, might have am understanding of the relationship between rich and poor.
Until it works it’s a giant fake bandaide to make the dems nod their heads and say see look in ten years this might fix inflation except how will it help if the money gathered goes back to the government huh? Ill wait… huh???? Anyone that’s what I thought.
She said that and you believed it?
Rich people have ways to defer taxes like 401(k) investments middle-class folks use. Some don’t even pat taxes because of “business losses”…
This is why many want a flat tax that applies to everyone. Like maybe 10% of all income, regardless of how much.
Tell me, Giant Squirrel, how do you feel about the ones that pay taxes, in years that they make Zero money.
Do you consider them tax cheats, too?
Is it cheating to still pay income taxes for years with no income?
This is Humboldt, how is paying $6.00 to $7.00 a gallon of gas, not to mention all the other exorbitant, overinflated prices, not getting taxed?
You are the one that keeps talking about Bidenflation, but at the same time, talk about tax cheats…
There’s a limit to how hard people can be squeezed before they start drying up.
How would anyone be liable for income taxes if they have no income?
Eggactly..
What is income for tax purposes is not necessarily income in reality. Ask anyone getting Social Security. Or income municiple bonds. Or in the other direction getting residuals. Income has a different meaning for IRS purposes than what ordinary people think is income. I predict cities will have an increased source of income from municiple bond sales shortly. At least until the dust settles.
Eggsactly, they wouldn’t be liable.
But what if they paid anyway, just to support America, and not be a freeloader?
What would your opinion be of them?
You didn’t mention that.
That’s what I was wondering about.
Would you still consider that as being a “tax cheat”?
If they don’t have income how do they pay? With eggs?
Egg Zackly an Arkansas farmer did that in 1868 by taking 5 dozen eggs to the local tax office to pay his bill.
No kidding! I hope the tax cheats starting paying their share, starting at the top. The low hanging fruit will be the wealthiest, who often pay very little. That behavior borders on treason.
Churches that delve into politics should lose tax exempt status and any other government monetary benefits from being a church..
Exactly
Actually there are a myriad of non religious organizations who are very political and yet benefit from tax exemptions. Things like Common Cause, Chamber of Commerce, Earth First, various Universities, the Sierra Club, etc have strong political activity but are considered tax exempt under the public welfare parts of the tax code. Heck, PACS are all about tax exemption yet are very partisan politically in fact.
The main difference between a “non profit”, which can be very profitable for the people who run it, and churches is that there is an assumption that churches serve the public good while other organizations are required to submit paper work to “prove” it. “Prove being in quotes be cause the sometimes don’t bother with.
Wrong about Sierra club – it’s non profit, but not tax exempt . You can not deduct donations to them. Why?because they make political endorsements. That is, they play by the rules. Unlike churches!
The Sierra Club Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt public charity. That then gives “grants” to the Sierra Club. For “political action” while calling it education. If they want to pay a candidate, people donate to the Sierra Club Independent Action group. Just like PACS versus direct political contributions.
Maybe you can’t deduct dues but that’s are not really where the Sierra Club gets it funding. By the same standards, the churches are playing by the rules. The same convoluted,litigated, government rules. Except for the proving it to the IRS . In fact for example the Catholic Church is much less directly involved in politics by commitment to leaving to Caesar what is Caesars. Just because a person of religion donates or demonstrates does not mean the religion organization is doing it. Even to the point where Catholic Relief Services is constantly criticised for supporting clinics that do abortions and politicians who support it.
Like all those Black churches Democrats visit?
The top are where their campaign donations come from, You really think they will audit them.
If they follow the law, they’re not cheats. If you don’t like the law, get it changed.
Now take it one step further, repeat after me, all politicians are criminals. Give me a list of all pelican bay inmates and I’ll pick one and label him as a criminal, crack me up. If you voted, you voted in a criminal.
So…you voted, didn’t you?
Trump is our lawfully elected president but because of liberal carpet baggers paying people to go to old folk homes and hang out with retirees and they slipped a few illegals thru the cracks to vote. The ballots dumped at the last in Georgia were the result in zuckerberg tech buying votes Trump 2024
“Gawd help us.”
Yep. They are butt hurt, and so they refuse to face the FACTS AS PROVEN AGAIN AND AGAIN, EVEN BY TRUMP-APPOINTED JUDGES!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yet it’s liberals who can’t seem to let Trump go just because he’s a pain in their collective rears. I swear more than half of his campaigning is powered by liberal outrage, not conservative votes.
Delusional.
Yet here you are.
Only when I want a good laugh.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Delusion
Try the Reynolds Wrap extra-heavy, BBQ grade foil for your next fedora. In is out, up is down, Traitor Don is President.
Or they just printed them up in the warehouse across the parking lot.
include half the politicians on the hill
Half?
All…
Liberal’s have a bad case of “Mother, he’s touching me” mentality when it comes to Trump. The government is a piss poor referee of government. Either it’s too afraid that it will suffer from the same judgements in turn and pretends the same problems don’t exist in its share of governing or it turns into an authoritarian abuser who gleefully misuses government to target enemies.
Expecting the government to do the public’s dirty work of judging other politicians always backfires. Because the attackers are every bit as disgusting as the attacked. There is no moral high ground here. Only partisanship.
Actually it was trump who bragged about grabbing pussy, as you might try to remember. Or did you conveniently forget that as well?
Unlike Joe and Hunter, at least Trump stuck to ADULT women that didn’t seem to object to it.
No diary from Ivanka about sexualized showers with her dad.
Oh, just wait. The truth about the duck and ivanka is there. Oh wait..that’s not what you want to hear. If it’s not on Fox or from the ducks mouth, then it’s not true.
Typical, skip right past the Biden crimes and jump to the TDS.
We’ve already heard about fake pee tapes, that were most likely Hunters. What are they going to make up now?
“most likely…”. Yep. There’s them darn facts again!🙄🙄🙄🙄
Oh. And then there were the top secret papers the duck had at his palace in Florida. Or were those just fake, also. Maybe they didn’t actually exist? Riigghhtt.
The President has the power to declassify anything and everything. And he does not need to tell anyone or get their approval.
Sheesh. Can’t you guys come up with two coherent thoughts between you?
Why does it have to be Trump, who is highly corrupt by funneling millions in government funds to his own resorts, and not the likes of the Green Party, since you seem to indicate that you want change so badly?
OK, so Trump is a criminal, YES! But enhanced enforcement by IRS so Trump and the other 1% can pay their fair share is BAD. I don’t get it.
Trump has never been convicted. So just more TDS. And damned weak sauce at that.
Tax cheats are looters, too, I guess.
So you’re in support of billions of our tax dollars going to other countries like the Ukraine and Israel to help those countries rebuild themselves when our roads are falling apart, our school system is full of pedophile indoctrinators, our water is being diverted to corporations and nobody wants to fight against this, and our hospitals are overrun with pharmaceutical lobbyists who want to experiment on the general populace?
Okay buddy I hope that Stockholm Syndrome works its way out of your mind.
Just keep paying your taxes and help everybody else while you suffer.
$85 Billion in new IRS enforcement money. For you.
Indeed.
They’ll crack down on larger offenders, which actually helps the little man.
No they wont.

You don’t hire 87,000 armed tax agents to go after corporations. You hire that many to go after small bushiness and people with side gigs. Basically the middle-class.
Obvious to all but the willingly oblivious
Like Pelosi famously said ““We have to pass the bill,” she said, “so that you can find out what is in it — away from the fog of the controversy.”
Well, it’s been passed and I suspect it will still take years to find out what’s really in it. After the usual process of interpreting it into actual regulation and after resolving “mistakes” with Congress, has any legislation in the last two decades ever helped the “little guy?”
Oh wait. I did get a tax break with Trump’s 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Bill. But of course that was not as big as the tax cut achieved by members of Congress level income. I expect that will prove true with this bill too. Only the benefits, being more political than otherwise, will more specifically exclude the middle of the road earner than the highest earners.
Or “reduced the deficit”?
You mean for the government and how will this help inflation? I’ll wait.? The only cracking down being done is from dementia Joe’s son
So the irs will try to get that money then it will take years to collect and prove then the irs might collect the money then the government will maybe get the money then it will go to what ? To fix inflation. So stupid . Who believes this crap .
Explain how it will actually help the little man ? Go ahead I’ll wait
Agree about pretty much everything but Ukraine appeasing aggression is never cost effective. America guaranteed their integrity and soveriegnty in return for surrendering their nuclear stockpile and all they ask in return is weapons to defend themselves from the invading orcs. The rebuilding can be paid for by the soveriegn Russian funds 300 billion but America is the only country with enough weapons stockpiled to make a difference.
No treaty ratified by the Senate… The US never agreed, just the Obama Administration…
You got that backwards my friend…
I haven’t seen any new IRS supporters, I’ve just seen a lot of memes about it! How many tax filings are there in the USA each year?
I don’t care who you are, you should be concerned about 87,000 new I.R.S. agents. The infamous SS started out as a group of “hall monitors”. (really)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schutzstaffel
Years of congressional underfunding of the IRS has left the agency without the resources to quickly process returns, let alone assess the complex tax-avoidance strategies of well-heeled individuals. So audit rates have fallen dramatically and more taxpayers are presumed to be not paying what they owe.
For each dollar of additional spending on enforcement, the IRS estimates that it collects an average of $5 of revenue.
On page 17 of the Treasury report, a chart shows that almost $80 billion in new resources over 10 years would allow for the hiring of 86,852 full-time employees in the next decade. The report says the new staff, added in annual increments of about 7,000 to 12,000 people, would conduct audits, improve informational technology and enhance customer service.
Most of those hires would not be Internal Revenue agents, and wouldn’t be new positions.

There is no possible way I could possibly condone taking an average of $236.00 from each and every American, man, woman, and child, in order to take an average of another additional, $1,180.00 from each American man, woman, and child!!!
“For each dollar of additional spending on enforcement, the IRS estimates that it collects an average of $5 of revenue.”
Please realize that such bullshit simply boils down to the Biden administration taking $480,000,000,000.00 from the people of America!!!
The Biden administration is planning to squeeze an additional $1,416.00, on average, out of each and every American, man woman and child, and that somehow makes sense?
Tell me, just exactly how is that going to help Americans?
It’s the opposite of a stimulus check.
10% for the big guy?
Whatever happened to the one page tax form trump touted early in his presidency? Oh. That would have made the ultra wealthy actually have to pay their fair share, and take the burden off the middle class.
What’s stopping Biden from doing it now?
Let’s audit the government instead, what a racket.
Congress.
Mother Jones is a far left news organization but this might help you understand. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2022/08/inflation-reduction-act-joe-biden-stock-buybacks-1-percent-tax/
I don’t need help understanding that clawing back a mere 1% of something that should never have been allowed at all, is not something that I would consider even in the realm of a win.
Not even close.
It’s a joke.
“Inflation Reduction Act” my ass.
I refuse to shop in Garberville or Redway anymore, due to the exorbitant prices, but I went into Sentry yesterday, just to check the price of eggs.
$ 4.50 a dozen for the cheapest ones.
The last time I was in there the price was $3.00 a dozen.
That’s a 50% increase, since last I shopped there…
That’s a lot of inflation.
Please try explaining to me how this Biden inflation reduction act is supposed to be working, again, because it’s not working.
It puts no money in the people’s pocket, it just puts more money into the government’s pocket.
And it’s not bringing prices down, nor is it bringing wages up.
Leaving 99% of “buy backs” effectively untaxed, is not the answer, as the “whales” won’t even feel that loss…
It’s quite obviously a win for them…
1%?
That’s a complete joke.
LOL..So the bill just gets passed and egg prices are still up!
I want egg prices down and I want them down now!!!
Safeway eggs are running from $4.50 to $8 for free range. Times are tuff all over..
You live in the country, get your own chickens..
Been there, done that, I figure I gave away 5,000 eggs, for free, at least.
And I just gave away more free food yesterday, and I really enjoy doing that.
We got a lot of positive “feedback”…
It’s your turn to guard the hen house, grey fox…
Give away 5,000 eggs to your community, then get back to me about chickens…
So what’s that got to do with inflation “eggactly”?
Not a damn thing.
We used to give away eggs, donate meat to Saint Paul’s.
Gave goats milk to mothers whose children were allergic to cows milk. Had a fruit and vegetable stand that was on the honor system and people paid what they could.
How do you like them apples? Or should I say eggs.
And back to inflation which is what I was talking about..Give it time it’s going down and will continue to.
Good for you.
And the price of eggs was just one eggsample…
The rate of inflation might come down, but prices won’t.
The rate of inflation could drop to zero, and groceries, etc. will stay at the very same, eggsorbitant prices…
I don’t eggspect them to return to the previous levels.
Let’s not forget the items that we can’t even find on the shelf anymore, such as Baby Formula.
Some stores are consolidating their shelving to change the optics of the shortages.
On a side note concerning previous posts. They are eggactly what Ms Kemp was talking about. The moral superiority thing.
Sorry Ms Kemp, but working on it. I do realize my faults.
Hmph… Little is less moral than claiming the high road then only using it to hurl rocks down on everyone they dislike.
Otherwise, known as ……
You seem to have missed the point.
Hey Grey fox, I’m with you, Biden is doing a great job. Just got to keep a close eye on him this FALL, get it ? Fall, crack my self up.
🤔🧐Your faults are nothing, compared to my faults…😅😂🤣😁
Inflation will continue to go up, be patient wages will follow, crack me up. Go green , go Joe Biden, toe clip, crack me up.
Nice reply, gas too high? Ride a bike right? Don’t like what Trump tweets, get some ear plugs. Don’t like what Trump does, get some blinders, All politicians are criminals, including Joe Biden, crack me up. This new circus is awesome, they are hammering everyone but some still defend the new circus .
One big problem is that taxing the richest is like squeezing sand- they have hundred thousand lobbyists, tax lawyers and accountants to find ways to let the money move to where the squeeze is less. As they have surely already been alerted to do by the market moves of Congressmen. Congress just has zero resistance to special interest fiddling with the law because that’s where their own money is raised, from speaker fees to free vacations and campaign funding. Within a month, there will be plots and stratagems on all the media sites to take action “right now.” And it will be another 20 years before the government will deal with it.
Congress has to be willing to give up that very lucrative power if the Tax Code modification before it will change. And they would not get the votes if they did. The tax code should be freed from politics and the government willing to fund what they want without using it. And that will happen when pigs fly.
So you’re advocating for a simple flat tax?
Please keep paying your taxes. They support me and millions of disabled and older Americans.
$85b is a drop in the bucket. IRS estimates the underpaid tax bill at a trillion dollars – a thousand million. So keep track of your income and keep your receipts.
They claim spending $85B on more personnel will recover $120B – only 1.4 multiplier pretty weak, they must figure all the new employees will be spending half their workday on TikTok & Twitter
85 Billion for Ukraine, has Nothing to do with making our lives easier, just sending to a group of people known for blatant corruption….since when did Biden get to have a prosecutor fired in Ukraine that was investigating corruption in his own country?
Think/Act like a slave …well guess what. …?you sure as he’ll are going to be treated like one.
Sure bud, I am, and have been, paying taxes every year, even through the years that I was denied the disability that you insist I continue to support, even though I could barely walk, due to pelvic injury, screaming sciatica, had a misdiagnosed dislocation in one of my dominant extremities for 6 years, while it’s compliment was reconstructed, and have been laid up, or on crutches for plenty of time…
I wouldn’t have asked for it, if I hadn’t needed it. But I was denied.
And guess what? I’m 60, started working at 14, and have probably only been able to hold down a real job, for about 5 or 6 years of my life, due to my own limiting issues…
But yeah, let me, disabled but denied disability, keep supporting you…
I never had a problem with it before, and was willing, and able, to do it.
And when the powers that be, ( Maguire and Wood), asked for blood, I stepped up and gave it! Etc.
That’s changing, bud.
But, not because I’m no longer willing…
I’m too broke, and I’m too broke down and depleted…
I like that you said please, but I’ve been paying, even when I don’t make any money, and I’m not seeing the “thanks”.
I worked on your place before, many years ago, and I do have respect for you and your family, all very nice, polite, people, thanks for the work.
But get off my back, about paying my taxes.
Enough is enough.
Your going to have to adjust to getting by without me, from now on.
Not that it will make much difference.
Sad but true.
I’ll probably keep paying taxes, for a bit, but don’t keep banking on it, please.
I just hope that I can figure out how to continue.
so, you think maybe the stimulus checks don’t have to paid for? when the gov’t gives out or pays for stuff for other people, the people pay. the IRS has never covered the expenses through tax collections. same when ‘windfall taxes’ are levied on businesses, they raise their prices to cover it. you can have your cake, and eat it, but you can’t eat, then still have it.
I didn’t say that.
I tried to say that I will never stand behind taking 1 dollar from Americans to take 5 more dollars from Americans.
Now times that by $80,000,000,000.00
and you will understand that Biden’s plan, and that it’s passed the Senate, totally stinks, no matter how you slice it.
This isn’t a good idea…
They claim new personnel will only $120B
Inflation…
What was it the IRS needed, 30 million MORE rounds of ammo for?
Flash back to ………………
Why are the feds loading up on so much ammo?
https://www.investors.com/politics/columnists/obama-homeland-security-vast-ammunition-purchases/
Jesus.
All law enforcement is notorious for this.
Look at all the weapons and military vehicles local law enforcement loads up on.
As as explained earlier IRS
criminal investigators go on multi agency raids. Ice, FBI, Homeland Security. They also deal with drug cartels and organized crime..
IRS agents have been armed since before Prohibition.
This has all been explained days ago..
I’m not sure IRS was as much underfunded as overworked. Congress has this habit of adding duties by law whenever they get wary of be accused of raising taxes. They have a sort of “If you build it, they will come” fantasy where they hide the costs of their legislation by burying it in the tax code. They have a sort of adolescent fantasy that no one needs pay for necessities like personnel, failing buildings, electricity, etc when they add work like ACA or Covid Relidf. Oh they usually throw some more money in the pot but never enough to cover the complications they legislate.
Grey fox, respectfully…. You missed the point of my comment. We may need I.R.S. auditors, but they are the nose of the camel under the tent. I fear that they will become armed law enforcement. New government agents, with little oversight. Which is okay, until you become the target. You will have little or no recourse against them.
But leftists weren’t “turned” into supporters of the IRS. They have always been that as anyone wanting to change society through government knows the government needs other people to pay for it. As everyone should know already.
Looks like you and Kermit have been drinking plenty of kool aid.
Keep on lying to yourself.
I’m happy my tax dollars are over there kicking Russia’s ass.
Is Russia losing or winning? Imagine reports we’ll inevitably hear about American weaponry diverted to black market.
Watching the “left” turn pro war during the Obama administration opened my eyes to the true nature of American politics. Both sides suck.
👍
He wasn’t left. He was a centrist and like most democrats is a corporate democrat.
87,000 new gestapo agents compliments of the democrat party…
Well, since the death of Bill Cosby, when I hear the frog whistle “looters” I immediately think “social justice activists..
Tweekers need your stuff, have a heart
Not dead yet.
Or see the one about Asian Americans suing the Siskiyou County and the sheriff for biased policing practices AND killing an Asian American man in front of his family during fire evacuations?
That sheriff is maga all the way and he’s accidentally showing his political insanity and his ass.
Thoughts and prayers for all the rubes that found out the truth about their traitor this week. 🤭
Btw, I’ve also demonstrated how to speak a political truth while actually tying it to the story above.
Try it sometime…..
if folks are going to include random comments here with the little looters about the big boy looters like IRS i feel obligated to point out that the income tax was established under woodrow wilson because of political sex blackmail done by the exact same people who are behind epstein maxwell wexner bronfman MEGA Group. weve had the EXACT same figurehead president for over a hundred years now, following bankers orders… the federal reserve banking system was also established due to this same control over the whitehouse wielded by this tiny group of individuals. another perk for these criminals was US entry into ww1 which was very lucrative for them, and the Balfour Declaration, but very few understand the machinations behind this. its all voluminously documented but since the same people control education and the media, nobody seems too familiar with the details. i would suggest folks look into it a tiny bit for themselves to come to a greater understanding of world events, and the concept of presidents in modern times. personally im in favor of more vigilante justice for looters. and that would include the too big to fail bailout which gave, no questions asked, and no accounting, about 14 trillion of our tax dollars to cia front companies like AIG and notorious laundries like citibank. our gubbernmint actually told us that the 875 billion dollar figure that they told us was just a made up number to convey to us that it was a large amount. they actually said this!!!!! before about 1913 we did not pay any income tax. the most important thing about that is the people who engineered this scam are not well known- because they tell us what to think about, and its definitely not them. https://archive.org/details/MichaelCollinsPiperWhoTowersBehindTrump im including a photo of puppets obummer rump and shrub. the bus driver may change but the route remains the same. its not very difficult to learn the important details of how every job obomber ever had was for a cia front company, and his mother father stepdad and grandparents all worked for the cia. you might want to look into the details of who actually gives the orders to the intelligence agencies (hint: its the same old banking dynasty families and their criminal allies.) read the voltaire article: “All in the Company” by wayne madsen. george bush2 the village idiot, hopefully folks need no education about the details of how he wasnt the actual decision maker… hahaha face reality.
It’s the, “…because of…” that negates any competent retelling of historical events.
His viewpoints may seem to be extreme, but they are accurate.
You mention Wayne Madsen. What a hoot he’s been over the many years. Here’s his latest book, titled ‘The Rise of the Fourth Fascist Reich, the Era of Trumpism and the Far Right’.
National Press Club had Madsen speak anniversary of Jan6 insurrection:
https://www.press.org/newsroom/club-member-madsen-compares-trumpism-nazism-virtual-event
Strange isn’t that so many people can turn their own extremism into a book deal?
Which come to think of it was the way Trump selected what papers to take from the White House. A future book deal.
Just maybe they went to pick up any evidence he had of their crimes.
Isn’t that Dennis Hicks’ tan & white ford truck?
Last I saw he was driving an old black Ford Ranger, with “Toot” riding shotgun…
I barely recognized him…
But, “Toot”, looked about the same as always…
Looters equals human garbage!
this thread went off track quicker then a fat man on a diet in a fudge factory
“…so please call us right away if you see them.”
With faces blurred out, that’s not gonna be so easy.
oh you know California, more worried about protecting criminals rights than citizens.
Come to Willow creek or any mountain town and ask how they treat looters they don’t get rights. leave politics out of this fire it’s making y’all look simple
Heh heh…

The State Department alerted U.S. citizens near Tijuana, Mexico, early Saturday to shelter in place due to fires, roadblocks and police activity.
“The U.S. Consulate General Tijuana is aware of reports of multiple vehicle fires, roadblocks, and heavy police activity in Tijuana, Mexicali, Rosarito, Ensenada, and Tecate,” wrote the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana in a statement.
“U.S. government employees have been instructed to shelter in place until further notice,” it continued.

During the Wine Country fires of 2017, the National Guard guarded the neighborhoods in Santa Rosa from looting. I thought that was a great use of them.
