The Treasury Department announced March 2 that it will no longer enforce the Corporate Transparency Act or the associated Beneficial Ownership Information reporting requirements. Furthermore, the agency announced that, “Not only will it not enforce any penalties or fines associated with the beneficial ownership information reporting rule under the existing regulatory deadlines, but it will further not enforce any penalties or fines against U.S. citizens or domestic reporting companies or their beneficial owners after the forthcoming rule changes take effect either.” The Treasury Department said it will further be issuing a proposed rule that will narrow the scope of the...

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” accused host Margaret Brennan’s network of bias against President-elect Donald Trump. Partial transcript as follows: MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, we will watch the politics of the possible with the very complicated Caucus in the House. Let me ask you about the Senate, though, because you are on the Judiciary Committee. Kash Patel, the pick to run the FBI, doesn’t even have a hearing scheduled yet. In his 2022 memoir Bill Barr said of Kas Patel, “he’s someone with no background as an agent, would never be able to command the respect...

After a West Point spokesperson falsely claimed that Pete Hegseth had not even applied to the institution, much less been accepted, journalism outfit ProPublica reached out to Hegseth’s lawyer, asserting that the Secretary of Defense nominee had lied and gave him a one hour deadline to respond.Hegseth posted on Wednesday morning a photo of his acceptance to West Point and said ProPublica was planning on posting “a knowingly false report” that he was not accepted to the school in 1999. ProPublica editor Jesse Eisinger then responded with a Twitter thread, explaining that the outlet had done “real journalism” and determined...

Between the ongoing sugar hangover from their onanistic coverage of Obama Night at the 2024 Democratic National Convention, and the anticipation of speeches from President Bill Clinton and the Governor of Stolen Valor, the Regime Media evening newscasts mostly neglected to report on a piece of data that is potentially damaging to the electoral prospects of the Regime’s new figurehead- Vice President Kamala Harris. ABC World News Tonight was the sole network newscast to report on the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ massive downward revision of reported jobs- 818,000 fewer than previously reported. Here is that report in its entirety:

When top investigative reporter, Catherine Herridge, was laid off at CBS, a lot of heads were shaking. Her layoff made no sense, she was their best performer, their most credible news reporter, the only reason they weren't completely dismissed as a woke and politicized "narrative" and "talking points" outlet. ABC News and NBC News could make no comparable claims, and MSNBC and CNN, not to mention, NPR, certainly could not. But, yeah, they got rid of her, just as she was uncovering some incredible political stories in an election year, including new stories about Hunter Biden's laptop and Joe Biden's...

The U.S. Energy Information Administration has been implementing changes to the way it collects its data, and it hasn’t been easy to understand what those changes mean for the traders who use the government agency’s reports to make key decisions. Looking through the changes to the EIA’s data collection process, Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research, said it was “not very clear exactly how the data will be affected.” It appears that previous data collection processes had “‘loopholes’ that allowed certain condensates and ‘other oils’ to not be reported in inventories, but now will be required to be reported...

US Election reporting is dependent on a few suspicious companies that provide results that are arguably manufactured. Post by Erin and David Clements The number of Americans who believe Biden did not legitimately win the 2020 election has grown to 62 percent, with another 6 percent who say they don’t know if he won or not. An enormous mountain of evidence, including whistleblower testimony, expert analysis, or proven machine vulnerabilities has awakened a huge majority of American voters to the realization that our elections are largely rigged. As independent analysts and auditors improve their understanding of the centralization of election...

The Internal Revenue Service on Friday said that it is delaying by one year a new tax reporting requirement targeting Americans who made more than $600 online through third-party payment apps like Venmo or PayPal. "The IRS and Treasury heard a number of concerns regarding the timeline of implementation of these changes under the American Rescue Plan," said Doug O'Donnell, the acting IRS commissioner. "To help smooth the transition and ensure clarity for taxpayers, tax professionals and industry, the IRS will delay implementation of the 1099-K changes." This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

Tara Lee Rodas, Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity & Efficiency: “The tax dollars of people who are listening [to my testimony to Project Veritas] are paying to put children in the hands of criminals.” Rodas: “Our sponsors typically are not citizens. They’re not permanent residents. They don’t have a legal presence.” Rodas: “The sponsor can hold up an ‘Order of Deportation’ to a [migrant] child and say, ‘This is your Order of Deportation. If you do not do what I say, when I say, I’m going to call ICE on you myself.’ We are paying to put children...

The IRS on Tuesday shared tips for the upcoming tax season — including a reminder about the new $600 threshold for receiving Form 1099-K for third-party payments. The change applies to payments from third-party networks, such as Venmo or PayPal, for transactions such as part-time work, side jobs or selling goods, according to the IRS. Before 2022, the federal Form 1099-K reporting threshold was for taxpayers with more than 200 transactions worth an aggregate above $20,000. However, Congress slashed the limit as part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, and a single transaction over $600 may now trigger...

ROME — Italian media have returned to the practice of daily reporting on coronavirus cases in what many fear may be a lead-up to renewed mask mandates and obligatory vaccinations. The Italian daily La Repubblica reported Sunday that Italy had 13,197 new cases of coronavirus and 30 deaths in the previous 24 hours, with the number of patients in intensive care “growing.”

So, you got a positive result on your home test for Covid-19. What do you do next? In addition to everything else on your plate — isolating and notifying close contacts, taking time off work and rescheduling appointments — it’s good practice to report your test results. And while home tests have made it easier and faster to screen yourself and get treatment, it is not always easy to report an illness. This confusion has meant that many cases are left out of official counts. If you test positive at a clinic or another community testing site, those results must...

In the New York Times' May 12 print edition, reporters Chelsia Tose Marcius and Tea Kvenenadze wrote that a Bronx man was shot and killed by police after he wounded a police officer. Their account is a good example of anti-cop propaganda. Here is the lead sentence:Neighbors said a man fatally shot by the police during an exchange of gunfire Tuesday night [May 9] that also wounded an officer was troubled but seemed unthreatening, living under the supervision of a mental health court after a weapons charge.The next paragraph provides the police department's account of the incident: Rameek Smith, 25,...

For the first time in more than a quarter century, Westmoreland County will have a new top prosecutor. With 100% of the county’s 307 precincts reporting Wednesday morning, Republican Nicole Ziccarelli erased an early lead held by six-term Democratic incumbent John Peck and claimed the race for district attorney. Peck moved out to an early 6,000-vote lead by virtue of first 12,700 mail-in ballots reported by county election officials. Totals from votes cast in person on Election Day saw Ziccarelli steadily narrow the gap and with more than a third of the vote counted moved into the lead.

The talk around the virtual water cooler this Monday morning is the mysterious firing of a Boulder Daily Camera reporter over a September 11 anniversary feature article.The story was completely retracted less than a week after it was published, but the paper waited until this weekend to offer a bizarre explanation that suggests the reporter either made it up, or got pretty much everything wrong except the date.The reporter is even blamed for a misleading headline.Apparently, there are no actual editors left at the Boulder Camera to read a story before it is printed.Reached Friday evening, the author of the...

President Donald Trump appeared to narrowly avoid falling over as he walked up to the podium at a campaign rally in New Hampshire on Friday evening. Video shows Trump flailing his arms while steadying himself a few feet from the lectern after disembarking from Air Force One. "Looks like he almost tripped," Liz Willis, a Right Side Broadcasting network announcer, remarked during a livestream of the event. "I'm sure he will make a joke out of that one in just a moment." Trump's rally in New Hampshire is his first campaign event since accepting the Republican Party nomination for a...

CMS issued an interim final rule on Aug. 25 that requires hospitals to report COVID-19 data to HHS in order to participate in Medicare and Medicaid programs. Five things to know: 1. The emergency regulations require hospitals and critical access hospitals to report daily COVID-19 data through the HHS portal, powered by TeleTracking and Palantir, to receive payment from CMS. 2. Hospitals are required to report several data points, including the number of patients testing positive for COVID-19, ICU bed occupation and availability of ventilators and personal protective equipment. This information is essential for emergency planning and resource allocation during...

A review will examine reports that officials were "over-exaggerating” the number of deaths from coronavirus. The official Covid-19 daily death toll may never be brought back following an investigation into Public Health England's method of counting it, the Telegraph understands. The conclusions of the review, which was ordered by Matt Hancock after it emerged officials were "over-exaggerating” deaths from the virus, are expected this week. One expected recommendation would be to stop daily reporting altogether and move to a weekly official death toll instead ... a significant proportion of the daily out-of-hospital death toll relates to patients who recovered from...
