Kevin McCarthy: GOP Votes to Repeal Army of 87,000 IRS Agents as Its ‘Very First Act of the New Congress’


U.S. Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) celebrates while holding the Speaker's gavel after being elected as Speaker in the House at the U.S. Capitol on January 07, 2023 in Washington, DC. After four days of voting and 15 ballots McCarthy secured enough votes to become Speaker of the …




The Republican-led United States House of Representatives voted to repeal the billions Democrats desired to spend on an army of IRS agents, as House Speaker Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) identified the action as the “very first act of the new Congress.”
“House Republicans just voted unanimously to repeal the Democrats’ army of 87,000 IRS agents. This was our very first act of the new Congress, because government should work for you, not against you. Promises made. Promises kept,” McCarthy announced Monday night:
🚨 House Republicans just voted unanimously to repeal the Democrats' army of 87,000 IRS agents 🚨
This was our very first act of the new Congress, because government should work for you, not against you.
Promises made. Promises kept.
— Kevin McCarthy (@SpeakerMcCarthy) January 10, 2023
Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) also announced the GOP-led House’s move, noting that “every Democrat voted no.”
“Tells you all you need to know,” he added, as others also celebrated the first action of the new Congress:
🚨 BREAKING → The House just voted to repeal funding for Biden’s 87,000 new IRS agents.
Every Democrat voted no. Tells you all you need to know.

Indeed, Republican leadership fulfilled their promise to strip the IRS of the billions more for IRS funding. The $80 billion increase over the next decade had come under severe scrutiny, as conservatives warned that a fleet of IRS agents would target everyday Americans.
Congress initially passed the $700 billion “Inflation Reduction Act” in August 2022, a law which would not actually reduce inflation but grow government in a variety of ways, including expanding the IRS with $80 billion. Such action would make it a bigger agency than “the Pentagon, State Department, FBI, and Border Patrol combined,” as Breitbart News detailed.


During a December appearance on Jesse Watters Primetime, then-GOP leader McCarthy stated that the Republican-led House would vote to repeal the 87,000 IRS agents “on the very first day.”

Texas Governor Hands Biden Scathing Letter During Border Visit

Texas Governor Greg Abbott met President Joe Biden at the El Paso Airport and handed him a scathing letter regarding the growing border crisis. Biden landed in El Paso for a brief visit before heading to Mexico City.
Abbott wrote, “Your visit to our southern border with Mexico today is $20 billion too little and two years too late. Moreover, your visit avoids the sites where mass illegal immigration occurs and sidesteps the thousands of angry Texas property owners whose lives have been destroyed by your border policies.”
“This chaos is the direct result of your failure to enforce the immigration laws that Congress enacted,” the Texas governor continued. “Your open-border policies have emboldened the cartels, who grow wealthy by trafficking deadly fentanyl and even human beings.”
Biden arrived in El Paso on Sunday for his first-ever visit to the Texas-Mexico border. While the El Paso Sector is currently the busiest of the nine southwest border sectors, the president was not able to see much of the chaos and inhumanity created by his border security and immigration policies. In the days leading up to the presidential border visit, Border Patrol agents and El Paso police created a Potemkin village of sorts by rounding up migrants who camped on the streets in freezing conditions after Biden administration policies prohibited them from entering federally funded shelters.
In the letter to the president, Abbott accused Biden of violating his “constitutional obligation to defend the States against invasion through faithful execution of federal laws.”
Abbott’s scathing comments to the president continued:
Halfway through your presidency, though, I can finally welcome you to the border. When you finish the photo-ops in a carefully stage-managed version of El Paso, you have a job to do:
  • You must comply with the many statutes mandating that various categories of aliens “shall” be detained, and end the practice of unlawfully paroling aliens en masse.
  • You must stop sandbagging the implementation of the Remain-in-Mexico policy and Title 42 expulsions, and fully enforce those measures as the federal courts have ordered you to do.
  • You must aggressively prosecute illegal entry between ports of entry, and allow ICE to remove illegal immigrants in accordance with existing federal laws.
  • You must immediately resume construction of the border wall in the State of Texas, using the billions of dollars Congress has appropriated for that purpose.
  • You must designate the Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
When asked by reporters in El Paso about President Biden’s reaction to their conversation on the tarmac, the governor responded, “He said he wanted to work with us on it.”

Don't mess with Texas Brandon!

ADVICE ON A USED OPTIC!!

Hey folks, been lurking for some time, and have just broke the news to momma, I'm gonna bide my time lookin, but ideally I'm looking to buy (new or used) a scope for 2k, I don't need a chinese checkered christmas tree reticle or built in bottle opener, I'm lookin for the most durable, simple, watertight, fogproof ect. around 4-20 power scope available, illumination is fine, but don't need stupid levels of it, this will be mainly a target scope that'll never see past 500 yards, and probably 2-3 trips a year in the field to take a deer or 6....I just want a damned reliable scope that holds zero even if dropped, and really good glass....I'm about half blind anymore and this scope needs to replace my glasses when I dial in on a deer...Or target. Any suggestions?? Like I said, I'm willing to wait it out for a higher cost used scope in place of a new one if I can get lucky, and you guys would have a lot more background on models I could get in the top end of the used range as well, I wouldn't know what would be a smokin deal or not in that regard....Oh yeah, I prefer 1st focal plane, but could get used to 2nd....

Question about vortex razor Gen ii

Should I be able to zero my rifle at 100 yards with this optic, if I have a mount that has 20 MOA built in?

My goal is to shoot 800-1000 yards with 6.5cm.

I just did ar10 build. Used a laser boresight and I seem bottomed out on my elevation with the boresight laser riding 8 MOA high against an object that’s 30 yards away. At 100 yards there should be even a greater disparity right?

I guess I'm an idiot and need some help...

OK so here goes... Isn't MOA the same out of a $500 rifle vs a $5,000 rifle? I mean what am I missing here? If I buy a $500 rifle and it shoots MOA @100m wont it still be MOA at say 1000m? I just can't believe that the bullets gets out to 300-400m and decides that "Hey, I was shot out of a shit gun so now I'm gonna just decide to veer off left 5 feet and drop in the dirt". What am I missing? Please someone help me understand...Thanks in advance !!!

Oh SNAP!

Yea, sorry it's scum assed CNN.
This is a fucking jewel though.
Can't make this shit up.
I only wonder how long the link will stay viable.


In case the link goes down (big surprise if it does eh?).
Short snippet
Several classified documents from President Joe Biden’s time as vice president were discovered last fall in a private office, Biden’s attorneys acknowledged Monday.


Attorney General Merrick Garland has asked the US attorney in Chicago to investigate the matter, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN, and congressional Republicans are also taking notice.


Biden’s lawyers say they found the government materials in November while closing out a Washington, DC-based office – the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement – that Biden used as part of his relationship with the University of Pennsylvania, where he was an honorary professor from 2017 to 2019.


Fewer than a dozen classified documents were found at Biden’s office, another source told CNN. It is unclear what the documents pertain to or why they were taken to Biden’s private office. Federal officeholders are required by law to relinquish official documents and classified records when their government service ends.

SOLD Custom 300wm barreled action Big Horn Origin long action proof carbon barrel

Selling my custom barreled action. Bighorn Origin long action, Triggertech special trigger, proof research 20 inch barrel, 1-10 twist, 5/8x24 threads, and the proof barrel steel collars have been cerakoted black. Barreled action has 180rds down the barrel, I’ve only ever shot Hornady TAP 178gr eldm factory ammo and it loves it. I had this rifle build to be short for a suppressor. I’m getting 2850fps out of the 20 inch barrel and the Hornady ammo, Hornady advertises 2934fps on the box from a 26 inch barrel so velocity loss with a shorter barrel has not been an issue for me. Gunsmithing was performed by Gunware who is now Sterling precision, those guys do some amazing work. Price is $2000 shipped for the barreled action

Bold Face Lying

So I was sent this "Stunning and Brave" presentation today at work. It was all about race and medicine. Like an asshole I clicked the link. (Seing as how I actually have published research on this matter, because like genes are a thing) However as I listened to this person's 'story' some shit didn't add up.

First, she claimed to have memories of being 5 months old. My oldest memories come in at about 1-2 years. Very few people remember back that far. I know of no one who can remember being 5 months old.

Second, claimed the KKK put a cross on fire at her house in Atlanta in the early 80s. Having actually lived through that time, absolute bullshit.

Now what gets me is that a group of adults (medical doctors no less), no one called her out on it (I was not actually present). I mean I've seen a lot of bullshit in the DEI push, but this one takes the cake (also when someone who is the head of medicine somewhere talks about their struggle with racism to succeed after going to prestigous universities and private schools all their lives).
