Treasury Secretary Yellen BACKS the IRS reporting $600 transactions because it will ‘fill the tax $7T gap’ and says Biden’s Soviet-born, anti-crypto nominee for Comptroller of the Currency ‘deserves a fair hearing’
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen defended on Tuesday the new requirement that all purchases above $600 be reported to the IRS
Said it will help fill the $7 trillion tax gap ‘from places where the information on income is opaque and can be hidden’
Also said Biden’s controversial pick to lead the agency responsible for regulating America’s banks deserves a ‘fair hearing’
‘Professor [Saule] Omarova is the President’s nominee... And I think she deserves a fair hearing by the Senate. I hope she will get that’
Omarova is a Cornell Law School professor who graduated from college in Moscow, where she attended on a scholarship named after Vladimir Lenin
She wrote a paper advocating for the Federal Reserve to take over Americans’ personal banking in order to have more policy clout against big banks
Republicans and bank lobbyists already oppose her nomination to lead OCC
As the IRS moves to track spending of transactions $600 or more, several states have raised concerns.
Nebraska is already promising to defy a Biden proposal that would require banks to hand over data on transactions over $600 on individual bank accounts to the IRS.
‘My message is really simple. The people of Nebraska entrusted me to protect the privacy of these accounts and I am not going to comply with this. If the Biden administration sues me, we will take it all the way to the Supreme Court. We are going to fight every step of the way,’ state treasurer John Murante told FOX Business
She is back living with us. She graduated from UC, San Diego with a biology degree. She wanted to be a doctor, and although she had a solid B average, not good enough. So she is living with us & taking nursing classes. She has less than 1 year left.
Yes, she has a big heart for animals. So we basically live in a zoo - 3 dogs, a cat & 2 fish.
We’ll see how this goes. States & banks are pushing back.
Omarova graduated from Moscow State University in 1989 on a scholarship named after Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin. After moving to the US in 1991, Omarova got a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin and her law degree from Northwestern University.
Born in Kazakhstan in the former Soviet Union, the law professor previously praised the communist country’s economy as something the US should aspire to.
She’s also advocated for a Congressionally-established National Investment Authority, which would operate similarly to the Federal Reserve and map out strategies allocating ‘both public and private capital’ toward issues like climate change and inequality.
Once again, a proposed solution to one of America’s systemic problems - shortage of affordable housing - that requires a National Investment Authority. The NIA could help new (& old) forms of housing provision reach game-changing scale,’ Omarova wrote on Twitter.
The NIA is included in progressive Rep. Maxine Waters’ (D-CA) Housing Is Infrastructure Act aimed at expanding green affordable housing that was introduced in July.
On her social media Omarova shares criticisms of the big banks she’s charged with overseeing, like JP Morgan and Citibank, as well as praise for the Biden administration’s policies tackling monopolies and climate change.
...overcast, dark and gloomy, cold and raining...
Today in North Dakota it is sunny, dry and expected temp in the upper 80’s.
Reinforces my conviction that Biden’s election turned the country upside down, LOL!
I contacted Senator Sinema’s office to provide support for her position. Got voice mail at the DC office, so I left a message. Will probably try the Tucson office after lunch.
Has she considered being a Veterinary?
A zoo is a good place to live. Animals are good for humans.
Just the fact that our government is proposing such a thing is great cause of concern.
Thank you for your support for Sen. Sinema.
Even a dim needs to hear from us when they are doing the right thing.

Ragnar is a Norski name. It means warrior.
He has to get them by Dec 8. I do not think he would consider another job. He loves his job and he is good at it. Company just announced it this week. I keep hoping that they will say oops we made a mistake and walk it back. Sad to say I do not think that will ever happen.
Exactly! That is why the men gave him that name. Here is part of the description I’m about to start circulating about him.
RAGNAR is a very special dog. He began his life in the mountains of Afghanistan. One day in September 2019 a group of US soldiers on patrol encountered a 10-day old pup covered in fleas and feces and starving to death. One of the men spoke with the villagers, and bought the pup from the owners.
BREAKING: Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller has been released from the brig at Camp Lejeune, NC pending courtmartial. The USMC combat vet was taken into custody after publishing several social media posts critical of US military/gov't leaders over Afghan withdrawal#StuartScheller— Mike Glenn (@mrglenn) October 5, 2021

Federal agents raided the offices Tuesday of a New York City police union, the Sergeants Benevolent Association, and the Long Island home of its bombastic leader, who has clashed with city officials over his incendiary tweets and hard-line tactics.
FBI spokesperson Martin Feely said agents were “carrying out a law enforcement action in connection with an ongoing investigation.”
Because they support President Trump?
Most likely.
Can you believe this?
If he actually made those comments about Pres. Trump, I do not care about him. I DO care about this unequal application of the UCMJ, but him, ... meh.
What we need to do (among other things) is take those FBI stormtroopers out for drinks, invite them to dinner, and persuade those individuals concerning them blindly following orders. If the troops don’t follow the “leaders”, the “leaders” are ineffectual.
There was some discussion on how to mitigate the effects of the vaccine with the same protocols for early covid. I’ll see if I can locate it again, but it was close to the FLCCC protocol
