SCOTUS Temporarily Blocks Congress From Getting Trump’s Tax Returns

The U.S. Supreme Court on Nov. 1 temporarily blocked Congress from obtaining former President Donald Trump’s tax returns.

Chief Justice John Roberts stayed an appeals court order that had ruled a congressional panel could gain access to the documents.

Trump filed an emergency application on Monday to the Supreme Court, asking it to halt the order.

Roberts’ stay is temporary, pending further developments in the case.

Rep. Richard Neal (D-Mass.), chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means, has for years been trying to obtain Trump’s returns, asserting that they are necessary as the panel considers possibly updating how audits of presidents are done.

Trump said that the true purpose is to release the returns to the public.

Neal is not seeking the records of any other president, and has said that “unraveling President Trump’s sophisticated tax avoidance” was one of the reasons he thought Trump should release his returns.

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), said in 2017 that the returns would “be useful” in investigating “what … the Russians have on Donald Trump” and that investigations into Trump were going to continue in 2019 because she “want[ed] to see him in prison.”

Trump sued the IRS and its parent agency, the Department of Treasury, in 2019 to stop officials from giving his returns to Neal.

U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, threw out the lawsuit in 2021, finding that federal law “requires great deference to facially valid congressional inquiries” and that the presidential audit program could be subject to legislation.

“That conclusion all but decides the Court’s analysis,” McFadden said, even as statements from Neal and Pelosi “plausibly show mixed motives underlying the” request for the returns.

In October, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld the ruling. U.S. Circuit Judge David Sentelle, a Reagan appointee writing for the three-judge panel, said the court could not probe the motives of legislators and that Neal “has identified a legitimate legislative purpose that it requires information to accomplish.”

Roberts ordered Neal and other respondents, including the IRS, to respond to Trump’s application on or before Nov. 10 by noon.

A spokesperson for Neal did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Roberts received the application because he oversees the District of Columbia appeals court.

Roberts can decide on the application himself or refer the matter to the full Supreme Court. – from an Epoch Tmes article

The more logical returns would be to get Obama’s, Clinton’s and/or Biden’s returns as they were not multi-millionaires when entering office but came out very well off, hints strongly of corruption.

Election Deniers

On the verge of these historic Midterm elections, Democrats are bludgeoning their opponents as “election-deniers”, trying desperately to tie them to Donald Trump and the January 6th “riot”. Since when did the Democrats become the champions of election integrity? According to Mark, it’s part of their dark mission to hide their inglorious record of challenging every presidential loss for the last 20 years. Only this time, their subterfuge has been exposed to the full light of day. And Mark is bringing the video receipts as proof. Will you use them to tie the Democrats to their hypocritical past?

5 Jan Protest

More people have died from COVID under Biden than under Trump.

New York Protestors Rally in Albany Against Vaccine Bills: “We Need Civil Disobedience in this Country,” NY News

“State lawmakers returning for the 2022 legislative session were met by hundreds of demonstrators who gathered outside the state capitol to protest a host of measures that would tighten already strict COVID-19 vaccine rules across the state,” Bill Pan, 6 Jan

Some eyewitnesses to the event have stated that there were thousands, not hundreds in attendance.

The mandates are not legal requirements and the attempt to codify into law needs to be stopped in its tracks to stop the deep state tyrants from illegitimately seizing power they have no right to have. Instead of the riots the Democrats encouraged last year we need civil disobedience and real protests, not “mostly peaceful” burning and looting, by patriotic citizens. The leftist marxists will attempt to paint us in a very bad light because of their lust for power but we must strip them of their power for the sake of this nation and even the world.

We can almost count on the leftists to claim the people staged an insurrection and attempted to overthrow the duly elected government of New York but we must not let them continue to get away with their lies.

We need Civil Disobedience. People need to exhibit courage and stand before it is too late before our country slips into anarchy & worse. The globalist minded NWO Nazi is waiting with bated breath to send troops to quell an uprising where they can justify spilling U.S. patriot blood in order to silence the sheep. What they, the leftist politicians, are doing is NOT for our “safety.” WAKE UP, AMERICA! The globalists want to reduce our population to what they deem “sustainable” levels.

An eyewitness to the Albany protest says there were more than 4 thousand citizens in attendance, not just “hundreds” as the MSM claimed.

Originally Hochul’s address was to be public but then she switched to “vaccine passports only.” It is a Globalist fascistic totalitarian world takeover being orchestrated by Bill Gates, George Soros, and Zukerberg with Fauci as an egotistical two-bit, pretend scientist, carrying their water.

Brandon = Biden

College bros started chanting “F*ck Joe Biden.” A reporter lied to us claiming they were really saying “Let’s Go Brandon.” And the internet did what the internet does. 

“The times that we’re living in right now are forcing lots of people on both sides of the aisle to look at a thing, or hear a thing, and be told that what they’re seeing and what they’re hearing is not real. And you can’t do that to people indefinitely and expect them not to push back somehow. You can’t tell people that the border is secure and then show them images of tens of thousands of people flooding over it. You can’t tell people that the evacuation of Afghanistan was a success and then show them people falling off of a plane… And you ask people who are watching a NASCAR race at home, who clearly hear the crowd yelling ‘F*ck Joe Biden’ to pretend that what they’re really hearing is ‘Let’s Go Brandon.’ I think what’s happened is people have just become sick and tired of being told that what they’re seeing and what they’re hearing is not what they’re seeing and hearing.” – Mike Rowe

Someone may take offense to this, but it remains a fact. The sooner everyone or at least the majority wake up and begin taking action the better for our nation and the world; there are dire consequences ahead if we fail to stop their agenda. …eternal consequences…
