IRS apologizes for seizing bank accounts of small businesses

Pressured by Congress, the IRS said Wednesday it is changing its policies and apologizing for seizing banks accounts from otherwise law-abiding business owners simply because they structured bank transactions to avoid federal reporting requirements. Their alleged crime: routinely making bank deposits of less than $10,000. That allowed the business owners to avoid reporting requirements designed to catch drug dealers and money launderers. IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told Congress that the IRS is changing policies to prevent the seizures, as long as the money came from legal means. “To anyone who is not treated fairly under the code, I apologize,” Koskinen… View Article

CNN Anchor: ‘Our Rights Do Not Come From God’

CNN Anchor: ‘Our Rights Do Not Come From God’ During a heated discussion over gay marriage, CNN morning Anchor Chris Cuomo opined that the unalienable rights endowed to all Americans do not come from God.

Near the end of the back-and-forth and after Moore argued that rights cannot be handed down by men, Cuomo blurted out: “Our rights do not come from God, your honor, and you know that. They come from man… That’s your faith, that’s my faith, but that’s not our country. Our laws… View Article

District Judge Rules Federal Interstate Handgun Sales Ban Unconstitutional

District Judge Rules Federal Interstate Handgun Sales Ban Unconstitutional On Wednesday, U.S. District Court Judge Reed O’Connor ruled that the federal interstate handgun sales ban is unconstitutional. Bretibart News previously reported that this ban was implemented after Congress passed Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA), which was signed into law by Lyndon Baines Johnson in the fall of 1968. The interstate sales ban bars a law-abiding resident in one state from buying a handgun from a retail gun store in another, but allows interstate shotgun, rifle, and tactical rifle sales to continue.

Chemotherapy-Treated Cancer Patients Die Sooner than No Treatment at All

Chemotherapy-Treated Cancer Patients Die Sooner than No Treatment at All As a chemist trained to interpret data, it is incomprehensible to me that physicians can ignore the clear evidence that chemotherapy does much, much more harm than good.” – Alan Nixon, Ph.D., Past President of The American Chemical Society For those living in the early 1900’s, the chances of getting cancer was 1 out of every 100 people, about fifty years ago the chances increased to 1 in 50.

Cops Stop Teens from Shoveling Snow Without Their Government Issued Permit

Cops Stop Teens from Shoveling Snow Without Their Government Issued Permit Toss this one on the list right next to the ridiculousness of government-targeted lemonade stands. There’s a war against making any money the government can’t take a cut of these days. In Louisiana, for example, a law was passed in 2011 making it illegal to use cash to purchase anything secondhand even though our Fed notes clearly state, “This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private.” How many people who hold garage sales take credit cards, anyway? Bye bye almost all Louisiana garage sales. Well now… View Article

Canada’s opposition parties acquiesce to government’s draconian “anti-terror” bill

Canada’s opposition parties acquiesce to government’s draconian “anti-terror” bill Canada’s opposition parties have signaled that they will mount no serious opposition to the Conservative government’s latest “anti-terror” bill—legislation that would dramatically expand the powers of the national security apparatus and attack core democratic rights. The Liberals, who polls indicate are the best positioned to unseat the Conservatives in the coming federal election, have announced they will vote in favour of Bill C-51 even if the government rejects the various amendments they intend to propose. The trade-union based NDP, the current official opposition, has thus far refused to say whether it… View Article

Elizabeth Warren Opposes “Congressional Meddling” ‘Audit The Fed’ Bill

Elizabeth Warren Opposes “Congressional Meddling” ‘Audit The Fed’ Bill It would appear the powers that be are getting nervous. Yesterday, Fed Governor Jerome Powell (and Fisher and Plosser) stepped up the central bank’s push against what he termed congressional efforts to extend political influence over monetary policy, calling them “misguided” and “in violent conflict with the facts.” Today we have Senator Elizabeth Warren trying to sound supportive of transparency but proclaiming that she opposes Rand Paul’s “Audit The Fed” Bill because it promotes “congressional meddling in the Fed’s monetary policy decisions.” Desperate to appear a huge opponent to Wall Street… View Article

Obama: ‘We have to twist arms when countries don’t do what we need them to’

Obama: ‘We have to twist arms when countries don’t do what we need them to’ President Barack Obama has said the reality of “American leadership” at times entails “twisting the arms” of states which “don’t do what we need them to do,” and that the US relied on its military strength and other leverage to achieve its goals. READ MORE: ‘US unilateral actions to protect its interests let other govts use same excuse’ In a broad-ranging interview with Vox, which Obama himself described as a venue “for the brainiac-nerd types,” the US president both denied the efficacy of a purely… View Article
