The House Ways and Means Committee released a partially redacted version of former President Trump's tax returns Friday, completing a longtime objective of Democrats to make Trump's finances public after the former president unsuccessfully tried to stop them in court. The financial documents cover six years of Trump's individual returns filed jointly with his wife, Melania, including his time in the White House. The document dump also includes tax forms for several of Trump's business entities that were investigated by Ways and Means Democrats, a report from the Democratic majority, and a response by Republicans on the committee. The tax forms provide insights into the state of Trump's finances

The Dims hoped to find evidence of illegal business or tax maneuvers. Had they done so, Trump would be already in court. Failing that, they wanted to embarrass Trump by pointing out that he uses ways to avoid paying taxes not available to the ordinary (less wealthy) American tax-payer. Jealousy remains a powerful emotion - and BTW one of the original Ten Commandment sins. The Democrats efforts to discredit Trump are worthy of our anger. But what we should fear is that ALL of us are now subject to the loss of our financial privacy to suit someone's political purposes. The horse has left the barn. Dims should rightfully be hoisted by their own petards.

It was OKd to release the returns to Congress. But, did that include releasing them to the public? I thought tax returns were private, sort of like medical records.

I wonder if democrats used the tax returns for the stated purpose given to the courts or if they just wanted to make them public. If the latter, I assume the fraud will be prosecuted. s/off

There is not a single member of Congress that can figure out these returns. I doubt the IRS can figure them out. And positively, no CPA has a clue what this mishmash says, other than demonstrate that the Federal Tax Law is insane cobbledygook.

SCOTUS approved the Democrats in Congress getting Trumps tax returns. They had to know full well that the ruse used to justify Congress getting them was just that a ruse and the purpose ultimately was to find something illegal in them and to release them to the country. So, I think that all SCOTUS members should have their returns turned over to Congress and released to the country -- especially that corrupt Roberts' returns.

There is no rule, or law that states candidates have to release their tax returns in order to run for office. But now that the dems released PRESIDENT Trumps, lets see bidens. clintons, bushes and obamas. Dems are out there saying that the tax release shows that PRESIDENT Trump cheated on his taxes.

List this under "some things never change" and watch the original movie of Robett Bolt's play "A Man for All Seasons", It is the story of St Thomas More and how Henry VIII in order to pretend he had a right to marry Anne Boleyn was willing to turn all the laws of England upside down. Corruption knew no bounds then with Henry and now it knows no bounds with a democrat Congress running amok in order to try to destroy the one man in this nation who is willing to stand up to them and expose them for the criminal class they are.

I say turnabout is fair play: Release Schiff’s, Sanders’, Warren’s, Biden’s, Obama’s, Comey’s et al tax returns. See how they like it. There is no reason for this kind of persecution of Trump other than that they just don’t like him. Well, I just don’t like these others and we need to investigate them.

What the Democrats did with Trump’s tax returns, violating his right to privacy by releasing them to the public, thus allowing unlimited numbers of partisan leftist Democrat tax accountants and lawyers all over the country to mull over those returns, and along with the liberal media, to make all sorts of “dirty trick” tax avoidance allegations against Trump, long after the IRS examined those returns and accepted them as lawful, certainly makes the US Supreme Court that decided to allow all that to take place are nothing more than a gaggle of legalistic morons.

LaBar told CNN that “Mr. Kohberger is eager to be exonerated of these charges and looks forward to resolving these matters as promptly as possible,” he said, forecasting that Kohberger intends to plead not guilty.

Amidst a wasteland of absolute trash coming out of Hollywood over the last several years, Taylor Sheridan’s “Yellowstone” has become a saving grace for television watchers everywhere. It’s gritty, it’s visually stunning, it’s fun, and most of all, it’s not woke. There aren’t any explicitly leftwing narratives being shoved down the audience’s throat when you watch “Yellowstone” or its equally well-done prequels, “1883” and “1923.” In fact, there’s a rather conservative bent at times throughout the franchise, though Sheridan is loathe to allow his work to be defined along political lines. For example, the latest season of “Yellowstone” has the Duttons converting a rabid environmentalist from her misguided secular religion.

Republicans in the minority on the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee declared Friday that there had been “no legitimate legislative purpose” for the Democratic majority to release Donald Trump’s tax returns. It was the first time Congress had ever obtained and released the federal tax returns of a private individual. Democrats claimed that they needed the returns as they considered future tax legislation. But the former president argued in court — to no avail — that Democrats were overstepping the separation of powers. On Friday, the committee released six years of Trump’s returns, from 2015 through 2020. While they revealed little that was noteworthy, other than some debatable

At long last, after years of baseless speculation and struggle sessions on cable news networks, Donald Trump’s fabled tax returns have been released, and members of the press are bubbling with excitement. In an unprecedented abuse of power, Democrats in the House of Representatives decided to seize a private citizen’s taxes and dump them out into the public for no legitimate reason whatsoever. There was no constitutional oversight role being performed (because again, Trump is not in government), and certainly, there was no legitimate investigative purpose given they had no evidence of wrongdoing related to the work of Congress.

This is either a bizarre coincidence or evidence that a Narrative™ decree has gone out. (No, I don’t think there are actual decrees…mostly). Yesterday I wrote a piece about Scientific American’s rather odd republishing through tweet of an article originally published in 2020. In it, the author argued that the medical establishment and our society as a whole stigmatizes obesity because Black women are the most obese demographic in America. People can be “healthy at any size,” and focusing on obesity as a health problem is racist. Now one day later Time Magazine is promoting an article that argues that exercise has White supremacist roots.

On Thursday, text messages leaked showing that Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) had permanently banned a female staffer from her congressional office for failure to take a COVID-19 test. During the exchange, Porter went on to accuse the staffer of giving her COVID-19, refusing to let her retrieve her personal belongings in person while showing no care for the personal tragedy the staffer had been facing. It was a mask-off moment for Porter, who has grown quite the fan club among whiteboard-loving liberals who think cheap grand-standing during hearings is evidence of brilliance. But what made things even worse was who the staffer was.

In an ideal world, doctors would communicate freely about treatments for a new disease that they have tried, and how, and under what circumstances, those treatments have succeeded or failed. This is called the scientific method. But the scientific method has not prevailed over the last few years.

In Against the Great Reset, Harry Stein asks how the Left has managed to subvert the culture and trample so effectively upon the fundamental concepts of decency, equality, justice, morality, and even human biology itself, not to mention humor and modesty. The answer may be found not only in policy and power wielded from the top but also in the gradual saturation of the public mind with a vast set of implicit assumptions regarding what constitutes enlightened societal advancement. In other words, a large part of the answer is the Left’s near-absolute domination of mass popular culture — music, film, sports, news media, entertainment, and so on — all infused

She also issued the minimum salary pay for House staff of $45,000.  Pelosi defended her action, saying that it would help Congress retain quality staff who might potentially look for outside opportunities from private employers.  “As you know, our hard-working, patriotic congressional staffers are integral to the functioning of the House of Representatives," Pelosi wrote in a letter to House lawmakers,

They have wanted these sensitive documents for years. Donald Trump’s tax returns have been viewed as the Holy Grail of scandal for the Left. It’s the smoking gun they’ve lusted for, and now they came into possession of these documents after a lengthy legal battle between Trump’s lawyers and House Democrats. The Supreme Court failed to intervene after multiple lower courts had ruled against the former president regarding keeping these files under seal. Spencer wrote about it first—and it was a nothing burger. It might have been an even bigger dud than the Russian collusion hoax.

Health officials announced they started investigating the outbreak on November 9 after a child became infected at a childcare facility in Franklin County, where Columbus is located. Within the next few weeks, cases were reported at a mall, a church, and a Dollar Tree. There were only four reported measles cases at the time. Of those infected, 54 patients are between the ages of one and five, 23 are under one year old, and five are six years and older.
