FBI run amok seizes cell phone of five term Pennsylvania Congressman Republican Scott Perry, head of House Freedom Caucus since January

  "My phone contains info about my legislative and political activities, and personal/private discussions with my wife, family, constituents, and friends. None of this is the government’s business."

Planting "evidence": Dirty rotten FBI spent 9 hours "searching" Trump's residence on Monday after fruitless hours-long May recon mission

 

A source close to the former president expressed concern that FBI agents or DOJ lawyers conducting the search could have “planted stuff” because they would not allow Trump’s attorneys inside the 128-room building to observe the operation, which lasted more than nine hours. ...

In May, Corcoran granted access into Mar-a-Lago’s windowless storage room to FBI agents who spent several hours searching through the boxes. Trump stopped by the basement to say hello at one point, says someone who was there.

I thought they didn't have any money in Mississippi, and now I know why: The IRS torments black folks the most

 


Little Marco gets it right

 

'Using government power to persecute political opponents is something we have seen many times from 3rd world Marxist dictatorships But never before in America,' wrote Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida on Twitter.  

Oh look, the FBI finds a way to make EVEN ME vote for that SOB again

The Federal Government has been collecting record taxes for months, but that's not good enough for The Beast: The Manchin inflation bill gives the IRS $80 billion to collect even more, $204 billion extra in the next ten years

Meanwhile Sean Hannity on the radio is talking about anything but.

Reconciliation bill includes nearly $80 billion for IRS including enforcement, audits: What that means for taxpayers :

Collectively, those improvements are projected to bring in $203.7 billion in revenue from 2022 to 2031, according to recent estimates from the Congressional Budget Office.

 

Gee, I guess it didn't work so well

 The singer has credited her husband, who founded Amazon Herb Company, purveyors of botanical supplements, with helping turn her on to medical marijuana as a treatment for cancer.

Meanwhile the rich get a $14 billion gift in the Manchin "inflation" bill because the carried interest loophole fix was dropped to please Senator Sinema

 Story:

Democrats estimated that the proposed changes to the carried interest rules would have raised $14 billion over 10 years.

 

Joe Manchin's gift to America: IRS gets a whopping 58% funding increase each and every year for ten years over fiscal 2021

 They're coming for YOU.

 

The IRS spent $13.7 billion last year.

The Manchin bill gives the IRS an additional $79.6 billion over ten years:

. . . it will take time to phase in the added IRS funding . . .

CNBC says you WANTED this:

More than two-thirds of registered voters support boosting the IRS budget . . .

LOL, are YOU ever going to get it, good and hard.

 



Yeah, well, we wouldn't have the Manchin reconciliation bill in the first place if Trump hadn't screwed Perdue and Loeffler in Georgia

 Trump: Dems Played McConnell "Like a Fiddle" on Reconciliation Bill

Trump should just shut his yap already and GO AWAY!


 

LOL, watch for dozens of phony House Democrats who ran on repeal of Trump's 2017 SALT caps vote once again come Friday for a bill (Joe Manchin's) which doesn't remove them and adds more taxes on most Americans

Trump raising taxes on rich coastal elites and Democrats never doing anything about it after running on a promise to do so will never not be funny.

 House Dems Drop SALT Pledges To Back Manchin Bill

Democrats and Republicans have forcefully disputed whether the Inflation Reduction Act would raise taxes on middle-class households making less than $400,000, which would violate a core Biden pledge. The non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation, found that the measure would raise $16.7 billion on taxpayers making less than $200,000 in 2023.

US COVID-19: The Big Picture through July 2022

Total cases monthly in 2022:

Jan 20.3 million

Feb 3.95m

Mar 1.07m

Apr 1.25m

May 2.89m

Jun 3.33m

Jul 3.65m.

 

We averaged 1.68 million cases monthly in 2020 and 2.88 million monthly in 2021.

Monthly cases in 2022 through July now average 5.20 million, down from 5.46 million last month. 

Because of home tests and generally milder cases both going unreported, the case data is not very predictive.

The encouraging news is in the deaths per day data, which shows that the pandemic is clearly less severe in the United States two months in a row. Both June and July deaths were low enough to make 2022 as a whole look better than either 2020 or 2021 in each of them.

Deaths per day are still approximately 10x higher, however, through July, and 4x higher in July, than for the average annual rate for influenza.

 



Deaths per day from COVID-19 in the US ticked up slightly in July 2022 to 383, higher than in May, as was expected

July 2022: 383

June 2022: 363

May 2022: 373

Apr 2022: 426

Mar 2022: 980

Feb 2022: 2,247

Jan 2022: 1,987

 

Deaths per day overall, however, are still down in 2022 compared with both 2021 and 2020 after hitting 1,050 per day at the end of June:

2020: 1,131

2021: 1,310

2022 through 7/31: 953
