Comer: Biden Wants to Go After Legal Gun Owners and Add IRS Agents when Hunter Broke Gun, Tax Laws
Comer: Biden Wants to Go After Legal Gun Owners and Add IRS Agents when Hunter Broke Gun, Tax Laws:
On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) stated that it is galling to listen to President Joe Biden talk about the need to hire more IRS agents to go after tax cheats, reform the criminal justice system to make it more fair, or pass further gun control laws to go after law-abiding gun owners after his son, Hunter Biden, cheated on his taxes and broke federal gun laws himself and got a soft deal for breaking those laws.

Propagandists masking as "journalists"!-----Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes tells U.S. Supreme Court to shove it. Colorado
Instapundit - Blog Archive - RULE OF LAW Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes tells U.S. Supreme Court to shove it.
"Colorado has a law on the books that says, in simple terms, a business open to the public can’t discriminate against gay people.
The radical right-wing majority of the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling last week saying that, yes, it can.
The court took the side of a web designer in Colorado who said it was her First Amendment right to refuse to design wedding websites for same-sex couples.
Arizona has a law much like Colorado’s.
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes announced in no uncertain terms that her office is determined to enforce it.
The Supreme Court be damned.

Illegal Immigrants Given Special Authority with New 'Privilege Cards' Being Rolled Out:
American sovereignty and the rule of law when it comes to immigration seem to be a thing of the past these days.
On June 22 the Supreme Court ruled against two states — Texas and Louisiana — suing the Biden administration guidelines on deportations. According to the court, the states didn’t have standing to bring the suit.
The result of this decision makes it more likely that any illegal immigrant who is arrested will not be deported unless they have committed a serious crime.

Has it been in the past ever found to have applied so blatantly and deliberately one standard of tax enforcement to elites and quite another to everyday Americans?
Again, if that charge of unequal treatment in tax compliance were to prove true, then Humpy-Dumpty like, the entire American system of revenue collection would shatter.
In other words, millions of Americans might shrug, “If Joe Biden, President of the United States and his criminally minded son, can get away with avoiding millions of dollars in taxes, then should not I, a nobody, at least have the right to avoid hundreds of dollars in taxes?”...

Biden's latest eco regs blasted by small businesses, manufacturers: 'Will do terrible damage' | Fox News:
"OMA can appreciate EPA’s desire to restrict use of methylene chloride to the general public, retailers, and consumers such as home contractors/remodelers who may not be fully aware of the necessary precautions to safely use this chemical," OMA stated in its comment letter. "However, this proposed rule is a case of ‘throwing-the-baby-out-with-the-bathwater.’"
"We have grave concerns that EPA is going beyond its statutory authority with this rule, and usurping [the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA)] authority to regulate workplace safety by replacing OSHA’s limits with EPA’s own limits and practices," it continued. "Therefore, we urge in the strongest terms that the final rule exempts commercial and industrial sectors, that are already highly regulated by OSHA."
Hint? It ain't your SUV!-----Why did the last ice age end? | Live Science
Why did the last ice age end? | Live Science - By Cameron Duke
- Nearly 10,000 years ago, Earth came out of its most recent ice age. Vast, icy swaths of land around the poles thawed, melting the glaciers that had covered them for nearly 100,000 years.
Scientists are still searching for the answer...
Hall said that the traditional explanation — and short answer — for why ice ages begin and end is a series of eccentricities and wobbles in the planet's orbit known as the Milankovitch cycles...
