Barack Obama’s Joe Biden’s America.
An IRS agent showed up at the home of ‘Twitter Files’ journalist Matt Taibbi on the same day he testified before Jim Jordan’s Committee on Weaponization of the Federal Government.
How convenient.On March 9, Matt Taibbi dropped a Twitter Files ahead of his testimony to Congress: THE CENSORSHIP-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
Journalists Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger appeared before Congress later that day.
The FTC had already been harassing Elon Musk and demanding he “identify all journalists” granted access to the Twitter files.

With 80000 new agents, expect them at the door of anyone who posts anything online that is negative towards the current administration.

This lawless administration shows with every outrageous, in-your-face move that they don't fear any consequences. The line has been crossed and there is no remedy left in our now unrecognizable system of government that can be used to turn the tide.

Those who have new stories or speak out (or have items that are put out in public that the media and its allies cannot suppress) is going to get leaned on by misuse of power. The media is getting manipulated in a way to keep this quiet.
Other stories are being KEPT QUIET, NON REPORTED or LEAVING OUT many facts pertinent to ACTUAL reporting of the TRUTH--
The biggest story of the day yesterday is a blatant case in point-- unless you read several stories for different sources, the only thing one can surmise is that we "should have more gun control" so the the populace cannot protect themselves FROM the Government.
One wonders if this is going to happen to the others who passed along stories about the absolute corruption of political speech on the old Twitter....

It was so odd that during Taibbi's testimony, the dems kept asking him about the money he was making by doing his job reporting on The Twitter Files. They asked him about money several times and he looked puzzled, responding "yes I've made money like I have over the past years".
Now we know why. They were setting up a target, another bs lie and narrative. Unbelievable but SO expected.
This must stop.

I thought they just sent a bunch of letters first before they ding your bank account. Did they just skip to Step 5?

typical communist tactic of intimidation of your opponent and if Matt Taibbi thinks because he is not a repub he will be overlooked, he had better alter his thinking, because as of now he is a target the same way our President is and Taibbi is considered as much an enemy to the demcommies as our President
lesson to Taibbi: do not cross the line in any way that is contradictory to the demcommie party line

Laura Ingraham, Miranda Devine, Michael Goodwin, did y'all read about this assault against Mike Taibbi, (no conservative) this morning? Did ja? I'm sick to death of media types, bemoaning Trump's "constant whining" about being relentlessly targeted by the United State government, the Biden regime, with false accusations, intimidation of every kind of him and his family. Because dear media morons, it ain't just Trump. While they persecute Trump, they are taking a simultaneous track against every day Americans, J6 prisoners and people that went to the Capitol who committed no violence on that fateful day; parents at school board meetings; traditional Catholics; people who legitimately question rigged elections, and REPORTERS THAT EXPOSE THE TRUTH.
When Trump talks about his persecution he is giving voice to thousands of similarly persecuted Americans. Americans with little ability to fight the government. Americans who do not have the means and megaphone of the President of the United States. Americans that do not have the public platform that Mike Taibbi has or Rudy Giuliani, Joe DeGenova, Victoria Toensing or Elon Musk. Everyday Americans whose lives are ruined, who must submit to an authoritarian government or have their lives destroyed even further.
When these storm troopers go after Trump, they go after us all. So Trump, keep it up. Don't let these bas-ards win. Speak up for every political prisoner languishing in the DC gulag. Speak for every parent that had the audacity to speak up at a school board meeting and who has had to hire a lawyer to defend their free speech, because the DOJ, their government that they are paying for, is terrorizing them. Speak up for every one who will never again go to Washington DC, or Albany NY, or NYC City Hall to protest an out of control government because they know they too will be targeted and persecuted by an installed totalitarian regime. If they can come after a guy like Trump, they can, they will and they are coming for us all.

Matt, stay away from Fort Marcy Park. Buy a treadmill--don't go jogging outside. Be sure to backup your computers daily. To prevent mysterious, remote actors or viruses wiping your hard drive or altering your data files, keep backups at a site away from your home--and not in the "cloud" or a bank safe deposit box.

The Schutzstaffel needs to be eliminated, whatever it takes. We didn't send our boys to Germany to die for three years straight to act like they did.

This is blatant political harassment. The IRS agent operating manual and training include first sending a letter to request an appointment for any examination. They NEVER go to anyone's home. If this agent suspects criminal behavior, the case is transferred to the criminal division. That process can take years. When the case is referred to the criminal division, they begin the process with computer generated threatening letters. When the criminal division letters are ignored, they send you a made up tax assessment for 100's of thousands of dollars with penalty and interest added. If those letters are ignored, they begin the process of seizing your bank accounts, more years have passed. After 5 to 10 years no IRS agent has been sent into the field. Only letters and threats. It is only after this process is played out that IRS agents might begin showing up.

They were just scoping things out for an FBI RAID. I can envision men driving up in dark vehicles standing outside and cleaning their fingernails with a 12” Bowie knife. It’s a message. We need to have a President who will put a stop to this wickedness.

In ancient times, when taxes became oppressive and the king sent his taxmen out into the countryside, many of them were never heard of again.
Perhaps this was a good thing.

Gee, wonder who is behind this pathetic attempt at intimidation? The Real Housewives of Homeland Security, plaskett, garcia, wasserman- shulttz, outed themselves as the arrogant traitors they are and as Matt writes "the public rightfully recoiled from these arrogant power-worshipping mediocrities".

First subpoena the head of the IRS Congress and force them to explain themselves on National TV in Prime time. Second go to a flat tax of 10% on every person that has income and a Value added Tax on purchases. The IRS can then be eliminated.

Where are the comments from the Trump critics? The sneering pontificates who mock MAGA? Not a story worth their time. Only time to fan Ron and shade Don. THIS is what Trump talked about from the time he declared until they stole the election. Fake news is the screen, behind it is horror.
