Dem Rep. Lofgren: Jim Jordan ‘Was Heavily Involved in the Plot to Overturn’ the Constitution

The state of politics. Everything immediately goes to 10. Everything is an emergency. Everyone you disagree with is an evil, dangerous person. We have the worst political and media class of my life. I think it rivals the worst ever during the Civil War.

We have an epidemic of low-grade mental illness that seems to preferentially infect politicians and media celebrity talking heads. The primary symptoms include a set of false fixed beliefs that are not amenable to change in light of conflicting evidence. Somehow voters choose crazy, over and over.

Both sides of the political aisle seem to be infected:

45 U.S. House Republicans seek to prevent another speaker ouster

“…Forty-five allies of former U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy are calling on their Republican colleagues for “fundamental changes” that would make it more difficult for a small faction to oust whoever may take his place…”

Everything immediately goes to 10 on the dial. Now we need rules to prevent it in the house. I am against new rules. I am for level-headed people exercising discipline, restraint, and judgement.

The worst of it is the fiscal irresponsibility. It is out of control from both sides:

They. Never. Cut. Spending

“…Debbie Mucarsel-Powell is the Democratic Party’s pick to unseat Senator Rick Scott…”

We live in the age of absurd stupidity.

A Case of Tax Fraud—at the IRS

“…Agents backdated documents to punish legal deductions…”

The Internal Revenue Service “…makes clear that taxpayers who willfully conceal or alter tax documents risk severe penalties. But what happens when government auditors are caught manipulating documents and hiding those actions in court?

The IRS this month agreed to settle and drop a penalty in Lakepoint Land II LLC v. Commissioner. A judge in U.S. Tax Court had sanctioned the IRS in the case, ripping the agency’s counsel for acting in “bad faith” and having “multiplied the proceedings in this case unreasonably and vexatiously” by failing to tell the court that documents it used to assess a penalty had been backdated.

Several other Tax Court cases suggest wider IRS document fiddling as the agency has gone after “syndicated conservation easements.” Congress created conservation easements in the 1980s, letting land owners donate the development rights for acreage to a qualified charity in return for a tax deduction.

One legal rub: The federal tax code requires an IRS supervisor to approve in writing the initial determination of a penalty. That didn’t happen in Lakepoint. The company presented emails to Judge Christian Weiler showing that the IRS agent on the case failed to get her supervisor’s written approval in 2016 for a proposed $15 million penalty.

When the agent realized this—in February, 2017—her supervisor acknowledged in an email that this was a “HUGE oversight” and backdated her signature to seven months earlier. IRS attorneys nonetheless swore to the accuracy of this date, and they continued to mislead the court for months even after the falsification was discovered. Judge Weiler ordered the IRS to pay Lakepoint’s fees and expenses…:

Post-vaccine vaginal bleeding rates associated with all COVID-19 vaccine types across reproductive ages

“…Research by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, Norway, suggests that COVID-19 vaccines or the body’s response to them can lead to unexpected vaginal bleeding in women. This phenomenon was observed in women across different reproductive stages…

…The study investigated the association between COVID-19 vaccination and unexpected vaginal bleeding in non-menstruating postmenopausal, perimenopausal, and premenopausal women. The study included approximately 22,000 participants, aged 32 to 64, from the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study (MoBa) and the Senior cohort, ages 65 to 80.

Unexpected vaginal bleeding was reported in 3.3% of postmenopausal women, 14.1% of perimenopausal women, and 13.1% of premenopausal women, more than three times the expected rates. Around half of the women who reported unexpected vaginal bleeding experienced it within 28 days after a COVID-19 vaccination…”

Amtrak Hides Hefty Salaries Of Thousands Of Employees While It Hemorrhages Millions

“…Amtrac, the national passenger railroad company of the U.S., is hiding the salaries of its employees while running a massive deficit year after year, according to data from Open The Books.

The rail company paid its 19,000 employees an average salary of $121,000 for fiscal year 2022, with the exact numbers being hidden by Amtrak through its use of an exemption to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The exemption permits the government to withhold information on personal privacy grounds, while top executives whose salaries were reported made between $504,000 and $780,000, according to Open The Books, citing payroll data acquired through FOIA requests.

Since its establishment in 1971, Amtrak has never turned a profit and predicts that it will continue to lose roughly $1 billion per year, leaving taxpayers to cover most of its losses, according to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure…”
