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

Olivia Newton-John, pop singer who found stardom with ‘Grease,’ dies at 73 :

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

Yeah, that Big Bang thingy was pretty modest when you really look back at it

When you try to say something profound and end up proving only that you are a nitwit:

She's very very naughty

Schumer says Sinema left ‘no choice’ but to cut carried interest from key bill

Ann Coulter's going to be furious.

In July 2022 full time employment as a percentage of civilian population reached 50.7%

Full time usually peaks in the summer.

The average year to date through July is 50.06%.

Of course Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taiwan was worth it: It wiped the story of her husband's arraignment on drunk driving charges from the news, didn't it?

Questions Mount Whether Pelosi's Trip to Taiwan Was Worth It

LOL, would be Immanentizer of The Eschaton Josh Hawley is lone No vote in US Senate to admit Sweden and Finland to NATO

Rand Paul votes Present!

Hawley had a perfect chance to vote for global thermonuclear war, and missed it!
