Fake cop scams seniors out of nearly half a million dollars with faux ‘sting operations’
"Police in Washington state are searching for a man who they say has scammed seniors out of nearly a half a million dollars by pretending to be a police officer, recruiting unsuspecting victims for faux 'sting operations' involving large cash transfers. It begins as a phone scam, police told The Seattle Post Intelligencer. Introducing himself as either Sgt. Drumbowski or Capt. Jack Truska, the conman preys mainly on elderly women with claims of a counterfeit money investigation that he needs help with. The elaborate rouse ends with the fake police officer meeting the victim and taking a large sum of money from them — at least six women have lost around $75,000 per shakedown." Continue reading →

After IRS Targeting, Now The Gibson Guitar Raids Make Sense
"Interestingly, one of Gibson's leading competitors is C.F. Martin & Co. According to C.F. Martin's catalog, several of their guitars contain 'East Indian Rosewood,' which is the exact same wood in at least 10 of Gibson's guitars. So why were they not also raided and their inventory of foreign wood seized? Grossly underreported at the time was the fact that Gibson's chief executive, Henry Juszkiewicz, contributed to Republican politicians. Recent donations have included $2,000 to Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., and $1,500 to Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn. By contrast, Chris Martin IV, the Martin & Co. CEO, is a long-time Democratic supporter." Continue reading →
Joe Biden Sees ‘No Legal Reason’ Not To Tax Violent Video Games
"The Vice President's declaration came in response to a suggestion made by Reverend Franklin Graham, who attended the meeting alongside 19 other religious leaders. According to Politico.com, attendees at the meeting said that Biden responded favourably to the Reverend's idea, going so far as to say there would be 'no restriction on the ability to do that, there’s no legal reason why they couldn't.' It was suggested by Graham that proceeds of the tax would go towards victims of gun violence and their families, according to the website's sources." Continue reading →

Showdown With the IRS at the Not-OK Corral
"The terror-inducing IRS is in total defensive mode. It’s employees just can’t seem to remember anything. 'I don’t know.' 'I don’t remember.' 'I’m not familiar with that detail.' 'It’s not my precise area.' 'I’m not familiar with that letter.' This is according to Peggy Noonan in a recent Wall Street Journal article. If you say you don’t recall, the government cannot get you for perjury. Of course, taxpayers cannot tell the IRS 'I don’t recall how much income I made.' The IRS just assesses a tax, and you have to prove otherwise. But now the IRS is on the receiving end of an inquisition. The nation cheers. Are they stonewalling? You bet." Continue reading →
“I Plead the Fifth” IRS Lady Has Been Given a Paid Vacation. Oh, Woe!
"The IRS official who took the fifth this week to avoid talking about her leadership in the scandal has been put on administrative leave. Fully-paid, of course. Oh, the shame of it all! So, the lady gets a paid vacation. She oversaw the scandal, pleaded the fifth amendment, refused to answer questions, and then gets a paid vacation. Justice is swift in Washington! Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi blames Bush. That’s right. Bush did it. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Washington is good for amusement. It is expensive amusement, but it is still amusement." Continue reading →
