PENTAGON ‘ACCOUNTING ERROR’ ON WEAPONS SENT TO UKRAINE

Wednesday, June 21st, 2023
It seems to me that they should be using replacement costs when estimating the value of the weapons we are sending to Ukraine. I’m definitely not an accounting genius, but aren’t we, the taxpayers, going to have to pay the replacement cost when ordering new military weapons  to replace what we sent to Ukraine?  I can just see the Chinese leaders gleefully watching us deplete our stockpiles while they are sitting on a very large supply of military weapons and equipment as they contemplate their takeover of Taiwan.   Let’s not forget all the military weapons and equipment that Biden left in Afghanistan for the Taliban to use and to sell – Good Grief !!!   Nancy

Pentagon ‘Accounting Error’ Allegedly Overestimated Value Of Weapons Sent To Ukraine

5:21 PM – Tuesday, June 20, 2023

The Pentagon announced Tuesday that an accounting error made last month revealed that it overestimated the value of weapons sent to Ukraine by $6.2 billion, more than double the purported true estimate.

Pentagon Spokeswoman Sabrina Singh claimed that military services had counted replacement costs rather than the book value of equipment that was pulled from Pentagon stocks to be sent to Ukraine. According to Singh, there was an error of $3.6 billion in the current fiscal year and $2.6 billion in the 2022 fiscal year.

“In a significant number of cases, services used replacement costs rather than net book value, thereby overestimating the value of the equipment drawn down from US stocks and provided to Ukraine,” Singh said.

The department has also now stated that it has additional money to use to further support Ukraine, which is likely to help Congress pass an additional assistance package before the end of the fiscal year in September.

DON’T LET THE IRS DO YOUR TAXES FOR YOU

Sunday, June 18th, 2023

 

Don’t let the IRS do your taxes

By J.D. Hayworth   • J.D. Hayworth is a former six-term Republican member of Congress. He was the first Arizonan in history to serve on the House Ways and Means Committee.
Monday, June 12, 2023

OPINION:

As a former member of the House Ways and Means Committee, which sets tax policy and oversees the IRS, I couldn’t be more disappointed with how dishonest the agency now appears. Simply put, America’s tax bureaucrats are scheming for more operational power.

The IRS recently announced that it will prepare the taxes of select Americans who make under $125,000 in the upcoming tax year. It will do this as part of a pilot program to determine whether it can become the entire nation’s tax preparer in the coming years.

Sounds great, right? No more need for accountants or tax preparation software. No more need to pull troves of statements and documents to pay the federal pipers. Uncle Sam will take care of everything for you.

Not so fast. If this idea were such a great one, the IRS wouldn’t have to move mountains to avoid the scrutiny of the House Ways and Means and Senate Finance committees. And that’s exactly what it appears to be doing.

IRS SPENT $10 MILLION ON GUNS, AMMO AND MILITARY STYLE EQUIPMENT

Saturday, May 6th, 2023

 

This should concern everyone !  Nancy

The IRS has spent $10 million on firearms, ammunition, and “military-style gear” since 2020, the New York Post said on May 2, citing an Open the Books report.

Open the Books specified some of the purchases the IRS has made since 2020:

$2.3 million on duty ammunition
$1.2 million on ballistic shields, plus another $1.3 million on ‘various other gear for criminal investigation agents” – very non-transparent description

$474,000 on Smith & Wesson rifles

$467,000 on duty tactical lighting

$463,000 on Baretta 1301 tactical shotguns

$354,000 on tactical gear bags

$267,000 on ballistic helmets

$243,000 on body armor vests

CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY’S SECRET PROJECTS IN THE U.S.

Friday, April 28th, 2023

 

The Chinese Communist Party’s Secret Projects in the US: What Is Going On?

by Pete Hoekstra   

Peter Hoekstra was US Ambassador to the Netherlands during the Trump administration. He served 18 years in the U.S. House of Representatives representing the second district of Michigan and served as Chairman and Ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee and is a Distinguished Senior Fellow at Gatestone Institute.
April 27, 2023 at 5:00 am

  • Two Chinese companies, Gotion and CATL, are on the verge of building two new battery manufacturing facilities in Michigan. These companies were lured by billions in state and local tax incentives and infrastructure investments, and the environmental requirements buried in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
  • [T]he state of Michigan is making a big bet on electric vehicle (EV) technology in concert with the Chinese Communist Party. What could go wrong?
  • The answer to that is simple: Plenty. At a time when bipartisan members of Congress on the Select Committee on the CCP are conducting war games simulating a U.S. response to a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, one has to ask is this the right moment to seek more Chinese investment in the state. Especially when one of those projects is just 100 miles from where the U.S. is training Taiwanese troops to defend against a Chinese Communist invasion.
  • Already, Virginia, home to numerous military and intelligence facilities, has rejected one of the two projects out of national security concerns.
  • As… outlined in the unprecedented joint news conference by the FBI and MI-5, the threat from the Chinese Communist Party is real, dangerous and pervasive.
  • Another red flag is the secrecy shrouding the projects. Although the state is in the process of providing substantial sums in taxpayer money to private entities, many of the details have been covered by Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). Members of Congress, state legislators, local elected officials, and state and congressional staff have been forced to sign NDAs so they can access information taxpayers and the media have been prevented from seeing. What is so secret that it requires taxpayers to be shielded from information about the projects that their dollars will fund? Local newspapers have requested information through Freedom of Information Act requests, but they have been denied.
  • Not only are the projects shrouded in a veil of secrecy, there are legitimate concerns about various organizations actually adhering to the Foreign Agents Reporting Act (FARA). This act requires individuals working on behalf of a foreign entity to register their activities with the Justice…. Former Ambassador Joe Cella and I have… have jointly submitted a request to the Justice Department to review specific individuals and their compliance with federal disclosure laws.
  • [N]ow is the time for both battery projects to be paused. It is time for legislators to engage in their fiduciary responsibility, recognize the changed environment, and reevaluate plans to spend taxpayer dollars to fund two Chinese companies, the CCP, and potentially even the Taliban and the re-emerging Islamic State. It is a new day and US taxpayer money should not be backing potential adversaries.

THE DANGER OF DIGITAL CURRENCY AND BIDEN’S EXECUTIVE ORDER

Biden’s Executive Order Nightmare: Government Will Track Every Dime You Spend

by Lawrence Kadish 

Lawrence Kadish serves on the Board of Governors of Gatestone Institute.

  • Under this new digital currency, any transfer of funds to family, friends, charities, or clients would be able to be tracked by the nation’s central bank that issued this virtual money. Big Brother will be in your wallet every hour or every day. You will not be able to buy a stick of gum without a Federal Reserve computer knowing where, when, and to whom you just put down a buck.
  • We should be rightfully concerned about inflation, energy independence, aggressor nations armed with nuclear weapons, and woke public policies that denigrate the very foundation of this great country. But these are jabs compared to the enormous destructive power of a digital currency “option” slipped into Executive Order 14067.
  • When I was a sparring partner for professional boxers many, many years ago, I was taught to be wary of the jab. It is a tactic used to distract an opponent while setting him up for a devastating power punch that takes him down for the count.

    Biden is throwing jabs.

    The power punch is a little noticed Executive Order with the innocuous number 14067 and its title, “Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets.”

    In a 21st Century world where cryptocurrency and cybercrime are now embedded threats to our collective financial security, this Executive Order would seem to address these issues. That is the jab.

IRS ‘is developing new Biden-backed algorithm that’ll see more white and Asian people targeted for tax audits to boost racial “equity”

  • America First Legal Foundation filed a Freedom of Information Act request for internal Treasury Department communications
  • It claims that an executive order signed by President Biden last week encourages the IRS to alter its algorithms  to audit more white and Asian taxpayers
  • The algorithm the IRS uses was found to target black households and businesses more than non-black households and businesses

FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICA

Saturday, January 21st, 2023

 

Hi Everyone,  I’ve been down here in The Villages in Florida for the past several weeks and had lunch today with a good friend and  one of our conservative ladies, Mary Lou Drake and her husband Bob and a few of their friends.  Of course, the conversation turned to the political problems we are having and someone mentioned Cloward & Piven.  After lunch Mary Lou did a little homework and found this 2015 article by Glenn Beck where he clearly lays out the roots of all the problems we are now having in our country.  Glenn Beck does a great job at giving us the historical background of how  these problems have been building.   Actually, back to  Woodrow Wilson and the creation of the Federal Reserve and through the 60’s and on.  So, sit back, pour yourself something a bit strong and read it and weep.!   Nancy   
Cloward & Piven and the Fundamental Transformation of America
Published May 15, 2015     By Glen Beck
I’m going to give you a hard concept to get your arms around: It’s the concept that there are people in this country who want to intentionally collapse our economic system. How could it be that any American would or would want to do such a thing? Well, those involved sleep just fine at night because they tell themselves that they’re not collapsing, they’re transforming — transforming — America into something better. The progressive movement in which these people are involved started around the turn of last century. These are the same people who gave us the Federal Reserve. They brought America the concept of redistribution of wealth through the progressive income tax, telling Americans at first that only the rich would be affected. They are the same people who felt that they knew better about your health than you did that they needed to force you to stop drinking alcoholthrough Prohibition. They brought us the League of Nations, then the United Nations. And their biggest contribution of all: They brought the understanding that our Constitution was a flawed, living, breathing document and that our Founding Fathers were a group of rich racists. Now, today’s group of progressives do not speak the same language as you and I do: Economic justice is taking from haves and giving to the have nots; social justice, to quote Mark Lloyd, is when someone needs to step down so someone else can have a turn, and transforming America means collapsing the state as we know it and rebooting it as a progressive utopia. None of the language is the same. What I would call socialist, they call social justice. That’s critical to understand; they really believe they’re making things better and they’re about to finish the process. They learned from their earlier failed attempts to transform America and the world, like the League of Nations. First, there can’t be a debate. They simply declare the debate over and that they have consensus already. Second, they can’t conduct their transformation in the open. And third, they can never let a good crisis go to waste. Now, as we discuss this, keep in mind that you’re watching all of this through your eyes; you see this as trying to collapse our economy. But progressives see this as a fundamental transformation — something better than we’ve ever had — as promised by Barack Obama: (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP, OCT. 30, 2008) THEN-PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE BARACK OBAMA: We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America. (END VIDEO CLIP) So, let me introduce you to the people you would say are fundamentally responsible for the unsustainability and possible collapse of our economic system: Richard Cloward and Francis Fox Piven, authors of the Cloward-Piven strategy. Something else to remember is that this isn’t some conspiracy theory that we’re tossing out; they wrote about collapsing the economy and how they planned to do it in the article they co-authored in the ’60s called, “Mobilizing the Poor: How it Could Be Done.” Six months later, it was published in The Nation, under the title “The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty.” So, just what is Cloward-Piven? Well, remember the tree:
