All right it’s been the topic of mirth for the last few days that the IRS put out some new guidance on reporting as income the value of the property stolen and I’ve been kind of amused that the talking heads didn’t know this is nothing new. I remember when I took tax in law school 50 years ago it was always the rule that you had to report all income — ill gotten or legitimate. It’s nothing new and if these morons think otherwise they need to quit.
PS I remember one case where a man won big at the track and didn’t report it and his defense in court was that it just offset his losses at the track and he presented a bunch of losing tickets and the court didn’t buy it noting that they had shoe prints and various indications that he had just gone around scarfing up losing tickets that had been thrown on the ground.
Here’s how I know Tucker releasing the videos destroyed the J6 committee bs. Yesterday I told you that Bennie Thompson, chairman of J6, said he was standing by their presentation even though the Tucker videos clearly show that Sicknick wasn’t killed, the shaman wasn’t violent and Hawley wasn’t a coward and nobody was buying it so Bennie came out today and said the committee members didn’t actually see any of the video but delegated it to the producer and minions no doubt with directions to piece together the most damning video you can. Cut, edit add sound and music to get Trump et al.
They had the videos for 26 months but were too busy or more likely too lazy to do their job. They only wanted to create a false narrative and then prevent anyone else from getting access to the truth.
I saw earlier today and believe I have previously ranted about that the real reason that Fauci and his ilk were adamant about poo pooing Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine was because the vaccines were approved under Emergency Use Authorization and that’s still the case and that authorization can only be granted if there is no present treatment that is effective. So if they recognized these treatments the vaccines would not be approved. Follow the money. Fauci and friends got royalties.
One thing I forgot to mention is that I would love to see the video of what Pelosi and Schumer and Cheney and Schitt et al were actually doing. Schumer who lies about everything said today that as we all saw on the video he was forced to run for his life. First if we had seen such video, I’m sure we would all remember it and it would be shown continuously. Second, I don’t believe for a second that that moron could run anywhere.
I heard today a very funny thing. Novak is once again being denied entry to play tennis and it’s because of Magoo’s executive fiat. He wants to play in the Miami Open which starts in a couple weeks but Magoo won’t grant a waiver because he’s an idiot. Today De Santis said that the fiat only applies to air travel and therefore if Novak wants to take a plane to the Bahamas he will supply the boat to bring him to Florida. I’m guessing that Florida has a few confiscated cigar boats that could make the trip short and fun.
Anyway I would like to see this come together and then see how long it would take Magoo to reconsider his bs. He’s being shown up by potential opponent in 2024.
BTW Novak could fly to Toronto. Drive to buffalo and then fly to Miami.
I have watched all of the Tucker revelations and the meltdown on the left. First in response to a question from one of you who asked what I think about all the criticism Tucker is getting for his video releases and I think it means he’s on target. Remember I said a couple weeks ago that the left would go crazy and the day after it was announced that Tucker was getting access Schitt and Kinzenger and many others came out already complaining that he would provide false and deceptive video.
Now the video eviscerated the J6 committee bs. First it clearly showed that Sicknick was alive and well hours after he was supposedly bludgeoned to death with a fire extinguisher. Total bs but was repeated again today by Schumer and Garland and continuously by Magoo. The video doesn’t lie and unlike the J6 committee videos wasn’t doctored which Tucker pointed out J6 did. In fact they selectively edited video and in fact added sound to some videos putting in screams and other noise.
Maybe the most outrageous was taking a snippet of video showing Josh Hawley fleeing the building apparently by himself and looking cowardly. It was played on a loop to try to discredit Hawley. Tucker played the whole unedited segment and a group was herded by the cops and Hawley was at the very back and today when Bennie Thompson, head of J6, was asked about it he said he stands by their video and there was no editing. Believe your lying eyes or this gasbag!
The other thing that came out is something I’m sure you already knew. It was mostly peaceful. The QAnon Shaman was escorted by several cops who even opened doors for him. I never knew that before because it was always portrayed as if he fought his way through the capitol. Obviously not true but shortly after the event I saw video of the cops opening doors and letting protesters in and also guiding them around.
Tucker made the point that it was obviously mostly peaceful is obviously true. Tens of thousands of protesters were at the Capitol and only 1000 have been arrested and most for bs trespassing charges. Very few with weapons charges and none with gun charges. I don’t know if a few people had pocket knives but most charges were because they were carrying flags which the garland goons determined could have been used as a weapon.
Now I was going to rant about Ray Epps who was revealed by the Tucker videos to have committed perjury but instead I suggest you read the attached which details just how the whole thing was a fedsurrection.
I wasn’t going to do this because Gutfeld covered it on the Five today but have decided to anyway because he didn’t cover the full breath of the nonsense. When asked why he prosecuted and in Gestapo like fashion arrested a man who was praying outside an abortion clinic when a nutcase got in his son’s face and so like any father he shoved the guy and that resulted in the jackboot arrest at his home in front of his children. Fortunately I believe a jury acquitted him. Thank goodness. But Garland said that the reason that they are prosecuting him and not all the left wing nuts fire bombing pro life clinics is because the left wingnuts do it at night and so we don’t know who they are. So his basic premise is that if you commit crimes after dark you get a pass because they have so many stormtroopers dedicated to harassing people on the right that they can’t investigate crimes on the left because we don’t have videos and witnesses.
OK. But please explain why your justice department didn’t arrest and prosecute the people who on tv tried to intimidate Supreme Court justices after the leak of the Dobbs decision. It is a federal crime to do what they did and this idiot did nothing. I am now in the camp of those who believe that Garland was so hurt by being denied the Supreme Court seat he thought he deserved that he has gone full crazy to get anyone on the right. He needs to be impeached!
He’s found guilty in I guess record time and it clearly means that the jury had their minds made up before they got to deliberations. I don’t know enough about the case to comment. I heard some of the closing arguments today but don’t really have enough information to base an opinion on. I heard today that some were saying that the prosecution fell short because their motive that it was done to cover his drug and stealing crimes was weak and not a real motive.
She is a black doctor just on Tucker and I agree with her. I’m not interested in your race or ethnicity or color. I’m interested in your competency period. I had the doctor, his name was Chuilli I think and early on in our first interaction he made the point of telling me he was an American. I didn’t ask and was surprised because I selected him because he was highly recommended not because of his ethnicity. He was the doctor who operated on me to eliminate my dick farting, pnematuria.
But the thing that she talked about that really rang true with me was when she talked about doctors being co-opted by big medico. My doctor here was for the first six or seven years a private physician in a group of physicians that had their own practice. When I went in we would always shoot the shit and catch up on what was going on. And then that group got swallowed up by UNC Healthcare and he suddenly became a corporate bureaucrat interested more in checking boxes for money than in actually interacting with me. He still did a decent job but it was like being on an assembly line. He has become more real recently but we need family practitioners not corporate employees.
