    After Promising Not To, The IRS Army Democrats Expanded Is Targeting The Middle Class
     
    According to a new audit of the agency, as of just less than a year ago, 63 percent of new IRS audit inquiries were to middle-income earners who made less than $200,000.
     
    “Only a small overall share reached the very highest earners, while 80% of audits covered filers earning less than $1 million,” the Wall Street Journal editorial board reported last week. “Don’t forget to save those charitable-giving receipts.”

    Ban Hammer got a reaction from Dashinka in COL (R) Donlon, first american to receive the medal of honor during vietnam war, burial today.   
    today an american hero is buried at fort leavenworth:
     
    RANK: CAPTAIN (HIGHEST RANK: COLONEL) CONFLICT/ERA: VIETNAM WAR UNIT/COMMAND:
    DETACHMENT A-726, 7TH SPECIAL FORCES GROUP (AIRBORNE),
    1ST SPECIAL FORCES MILITARY SERVICE BRANCH: U.S. ARMY MEDAL OF HONOR ACTION DATE: JULY 6, 1964 MEDAL OF HONOR ACTION PLACE: NEAR NAM DONG, REPUBLIC OF VIETNAM
    ************************************CITATION************************************

    For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while defending a U.S. military installation against a fierce attack by hostile forces. Capt. Donlon was serving as the commanding officer of the U.S. Army Special Forces Detachment A-726 at Camp Nam Dong when a reinforced Viet Cong battalion suddenly launched a full-scale, predawn attack on the camp. During the violent battle that ensued, lasting five hours and resulting in heavy casualties on both sides, Capt. Donlon directed the defense operations in the midst of an enemy barrage of mortar shells, falling grenades, and extremely heavy gunfire. Upon the initial onslaught, he swiftly marshaled his forces and ordered the removal of the needed ammunition from a blazing building. He then dashed through a hail of small arms and exploding hand grenades to abort a breach of the main gate. En route to this position he detected an enemy demolition team of three in the proximity of the main gate and quickly annihilated them. Although exposed to the intense grenade attack, he then succeeded in reaching a 60-mm mortar position despite sustaining a severe stomach wound as he was within five yards of the gun pit. When he discovered that most of the men in this gun pit were also wounded, he completely disregarded his own injury, directed their withdrawal to a location 30 meters away, and again risked his life by remaining behind and covering the movement with the utmost effectiveness. Noticing that his team sergeant was unable to evacuate the gun pit he crawled toward him and, while dragging the fallen soldier out of the gun pit, an enemy mortar exploded and inflicted a wound in Capt. Donlon's left shoulder. Although suffering from multiple wounds, he carried the abandoned 60-mm mortar weapon to a new location 30 meters away where he found three wounded defenders. After administering first aid and encouragement to these men, he left the weapon with them, headed toward another position, and retrieved a 57-mm recoilless rifle. Then with great courage and coolness under fire, he returned to the abandoned gun pit, evacuated ammunition for the two weapons, and while crawling and dragging the urgently needed ammunition, received a third wound in his leg by an enemy hand grenade. Despite his critical physical condition, he again crawled 175 meters to an 81-mm mortar position and directed firing operations which protected the seriously threatened east sector of the camp. He then moved to an eastern 60-mm mortar position and upon determining that the vicious enemy assault had weakened, crawled back to the gun pit with the 60-mm mortar, set it up for defensive operations, and turned it over to two defenders with minor wounds. Without hesitation, he left this sheltered position, and moved from position to position around the beleaguered perimeter while hurling hand grenades at the enemy and inspiring his men to superhuman effort. As he bravely continued to move around the perimeter, a mortar shell exploded, wounding him in the face and body. As the long awaited daylight brought defeat to the enemy forces and their retreat back to the jungle leaving behind 54 of their dead, many weapons, and grenades, Capt. Donlon immediately reorganized his defenses and administered first aid to the wounded. His dynamic leadership, fortitude, and valiant efforts inspired not only the American personnel but the friendly Vietnamese defenders as well and resulted in the successful defense of the camp. Capt. Donlon's extraordinary heroism, at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty, are in the highest traditions of the U.S. Army and reflect great credit upon himself and the Armed Forces of his country.

    the above from https://www.cmohs.org/recipients/roger-h-donlon

    Roger Hugh Charles Donlon (January 30, 1934 – January 25, 2024) was a United States Army officer. He was the first person to receive the Medal of Honor in the Vietnam War, as well as the first member of the United States Army Special Forces to be so honored.

    we have plenty of solutions to immigration reform - it's called existing law - enforce those laws would be a good start on "reform"

    Biden is torn between exacerbating inflation and trying to deny it exists
     
    [...] So not only is inflation compounding, meaning that voters have already suffered an aggregate 18% increase in prices since Biden took office, but the problem is getting worse, as indicated by nearly every inflation measure increasing to well above the Fed's maximum 2% benchmark.  This has translated to a 5% cut in our average real weekly earnings.  Consider inflation a unilateral tax by the federal government, and this is the equivalent of Uncle Sam stealing 1 1/2 paychecks from the average worker per year.  [...]

    without a doubt, any "aid" sent would be delivered by intelligence operatives who would be observing and noting everything they could, and the reports from that intel operation would then be used to refine invasion plans.
