Trump Has Faced a Decade-Long Tax Audit – Here’s How Long IRS Audits Usually Take and Who is More Likely to Get Audited

‘You’ll see it as soon as it’s finished,’ President Trump said of his tax returns during the first presidential debate

by Jacob Passy
Market Watch

Thousands of Americans see their tax returns audited every year — but it’s safe to say none have seen an audit go on as long as President Donald Trump’s.

Since he first launched a run for the White House in 2016, Trump has declined to release his tax returns. One reason he commonly cites as to why he can’t — including during the tumultuous first presidential debate versus Democratic nominee Joe Biden — is that he is undergoing an audit.

“You’ll see it as soon as it’s finished, you’ll see it,” President Trump said after Biden demanded he disclose his tax returns.

The recent New York Times investigation, which reported that Trump only paid $750 in federal taxes the year he entered the White House, provided more details regarding that audit, albeit not a complete picture.

Gonna Put Up With This?

by Karl Denninger

This is the government’s own data folks….

The question is this — in less than five minutes you will understand the truth, so now will you shove it up your local and state authoritarian jackwads’ ass? Or are you going to consent to being raped of your humanity today, tomorrow and forward?

This is not my computation or set of assumptions, it is the government’s own data with regard to whether “Covid” is dangerous or not. Just the facts folks, just the facts.

It’s pretty simple folks. A bug that you are materially more-likely to survive, if you get it, than your base risk of survival over a given year is absolutely not something to fear or take “special consideration” over. Remember that you cannot avoid the all-cause risk of death; that is, the mere fact that you’re alive forces you to take the bottom figure in risk. But, when it comes to Covid19, you might have T-cell recognition and be immune or you might have had a “silent” infection and be immune. Further, since we know antibodies often wane quickly you can’t easily find out if either is true.

Swiss City Geneva to Introduce a Minimum Wage of Over $4,000 a Month

by Vicky McKeever
CNBC.com

The Swiss city of Geneva is to introduce a minimum wage of 23 Swiss francs ($25) an hour, equal to roughly 3,772 Swiss francs ($4,100) a month for a 41-hour working week.

Nearly two-thirds of the canton of Geneva on Sunday voted in favor of introducing the minimum wage, which is reported to be the highest in the world.

It is set to be implemented this month, according to the Groupement transfrontalier europeen website, an organization representing cross-border workers in France and Switzerland.

The measure had actually been rejected by voters twice in 2011 and 2014.

The DOJ/CFTC/JPMorgan Settlement

from GoldSeek

As widely telegraphed over the past week, the US Justice Department and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (along with the SEC) have settled the precious metals spoofing/manipulation case which first came into view in November 2018 with the announcement of a guilty plea by a former JPMorgan trader. The total fine of $920 million was the largest in CFTC history and the settlement included a Deferred Criminal Prosecution Agreement, the third (by my count) such agreement involving precious metals manipulation (BankAmerica and Scotiabank had previously entered into DPA’s involving precious metals manipulation).

California’s Newsom Wants to Ban Gas-Powered Cars but ‘Can’t Even Keep the Lights on Today,’ EPA Says

by Tim Pearce
Daily Wire

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Andrew Wheeler warned California Gov. Gavin Newsom that his recent executive order to ban sales of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035 is unrealistic, and possibly illegal.

Wheeler sent the warning to the Democratic governor in a letter on Monday. The EPA head said that Newsom’s order seemed “mostly aspirational,” but warned that following through with parts of the order would first require permission from the federal government.

“Your recent Executive Order (EO) establishing a goal that 100 percent of new vehicle sales be zero emission by 2035 raises serious questions regarding its legality and practicality,” Wheeler began. “While the EO seems mostly aspirational and on its own would accomplish very little, any attempt by the California Air Resources Board to implement sections of it may require California to request a waiver to U.S. EPA.”

DailyCaller.com

A News 12 Connecticut anchor was fired Wednesday after posting a “racially insensitive” tweet.

Fred Gerteiny, a sports reporter, called Republican South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott an “Uncle Tom” in a now deleted tweet.

“Thanks Uncle Tom,” Gerteiny tweeted, in response to a story where Scott said Trump “misspoke” during the first presidential debate when he wouldn’t explicitly condemn white supremacists. Scott urged the president to correct himself.

Wall Street is Bracing for a “Nightmare Scenario” to Unfold on November 3rd…

by Michael Snyder
The Economic Collapse Blog

Did you watch the presidential debate? All over America people are still buzzing about it, because it was definitely unlike any presidential debate that we have ever seen before. But despite all the chaos, the debate gave us tremendous clarity on one very important issue. Unless there is a blowout of historic proportions, it is exceedingly unlikely that either side will be willing to concede on the night of the election or any time shortly thereafter. In other words, the winner of the election may not be known until a long time after November 3rd, and this is being called “the nightmare scenario Wall Street wants to avoid”…

The winner may not be known for days or weeks — and even then, the election could be contested. That’s the nightmare scenario Wall Street wants to avoid.

California, Which Entered U.S. as Free State in 1850, to Study ‘Reparations’ for Slavery

by Joel B. Pollak
Breitbart.com

The State of California will study reparations to black Americans, thanks to a bill signed into law Wednesday by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

AB 3121 will create a nine-member “Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans, with a Special Consideration for African Americans Who are Descendants of Persons Enslaved in the United States,” according to the text of the bill.

California was admitted to the Union in 1850 as a free state and has no history of legal slavery.

As the state Department of Parks and Recreation notes on its website (original emphasis):

CNN Says We’re Never “Getting Back to Normal”

Wearing face masks is going to become “permanent.”

by Paul Joseph Watson
Info Wars

CNN has published an article asserting that people need to accept that things are never “getting back to normal” and that mandatory coronavirus restrictions such as wearing face masks will become “permanent”.

In a piece titled ‘There is no getting ‘back to normal,’ experts say. The sooner we accept that, the better’ – CNN international security editor Nick Paton Walsh writes, “Things are most likely never going “back to normal.”

Walsh says that the pre-corona world is now mere nostalgia and that the public needs to “come to terms with it.”

Along with other social distancing measures, Walsh says that the mandatory wearing of masks will become “permanent” and “just part of life.”

The Printing Press Always Wins with Lobo Tiggre

from Kerry Lutz's Financial Survival Network

Lobo Tiggre returns… When was the last time you saw your weekly grocery bill go down? The price of gold is the ultimate price indicator. Short-term gold price fluctuations aren’t meaningful. Newly printed money takes time to filter into the economy. The needs of life, insurance, medical, college, etc., are all going up. The exodus from the cities is deflationary but certainly not positive. And it’s leading to higher housing costs in the suburbs and exurbs. While auto sales have gone up, new cars have headed south, but used cars sales are up. We talk about many other economic issues that are often neglected by the financial press and the news media. They’re extremely important to our personal well-being and our families.

Covid-19 Induced Poverty with Dr. Ted Noel

from Kerry Lutz's Financial Survival Network

Retired Anesthesiologist, Dr. Ted Noel joined us for a look at the current state of Covid 19. He confirmed much of what we’ve been discussing for the past 6 months. The pandemic is actually over or very close to being over. Masks are ineffective and he gives an actual demo on why they don’t work. And so much more. The worst disease in the world and perhaps the most treatable is poverty. And our reaction to Covid has increased world poverty and all the ills that follow it.

Tight Share Structure + Uranium Discovery = Massive Wealth Creation with Baseload CEO James Sykes

from Mining Stock Education

Baseload Energy Corp. CEO James Sykes is no stranger to uranium discovery success.  James has been directly and indirectly involved in the discovery of over 450M lbs U3O8 in the Athabasca Basin including being the lead geologist on NexGen’s world-class Arrow discovery.  Now James is at the helm of a new early-stage uranium exploration play in the Athabasca Basin.  Baseload Energy Corp. is part of Stephen Stewart’s Ore Group and has an extremely tight share structure and low float. Baseload plans to begin drilling its flagship Shadow project in the next few months.  James explains in this interview regarding Shadow’s prospectivity: “I’ve never seen anything like it in my life.”  If James’ exploration theory proves true with such a tight share structure coupled with a uranium bull market the returns for Baseload shareholders could be staggering.

The Debate? Trump Was Great, Chris Wallace Was a Dreadful Disgrace

by Patricia McCarthy
American Thinker

Chris Wallace’s overt defense of Joe Biden throughout the debate on Tuesday night was so obvious, so blatant, he should be proscribed from ever “moderating” a debate again.

Wallace’s performance was as Biden’s protector, his advocate, and that is undeniable. He stepped in at every moment Biden seemed lost: court-packing, lack of support of law enforcement, and Hunter’s criminality.

The debate was so poorly managed. The questions were designed to aid Biden, to coddle him. No wonder Trump felt duty-bound to interrupt. Trump was debating both Wallace and Biden, and only one of them is sentient.

Wallace’s intent was clear: sabotage Trump. Wallace succeeded only in looking like the stooge he is.

Trump Criticized Biden for Losing the Support of Police Unions. Is That Such a Bad Thing?

Trump is right that police unions support him more than Biden. That doesn’t speak as well of the president as he thinks.

by Billy Binion
Reason.com

During the chaos that was the first presidential debate, one topic largely flew under the radar: Joe Biden’s shriveling support from police unions. For Americans who believe that the government should work for us and be held accountable when it fails us, this is not a bad thing.

The back-and-forth went something like this:

Trump: [Biden’s] talking about defunding the police.

Biden: That—that is not true.

Trump: He doesn’t have any law support—

Biden: Would you—look—

Trump: He has no law enforcement support, almost nothing.

Fed Extends Limits on Buybacks, Dividends Until End of 2020; Brainard Dissents

from Zero Hedge

Two weeks after announcing it may extend the limit on dividends and buybacks for large banks – which was scheduled to expire today – by another quarter, after the close on Wednesday the Fed did just that saying that “due to the continued economic uncertainty from the coronavirus response”, it will extend for an additional quarter several measures “to ensure that large banks maintain a high level of capital resilience.” The news will disappoint bank execs such as Jamie Dimon whose JPMorgan had already indicated interest in resuming buybacks.

For the fourth quarter of this year, large banks—those with more than $100 billion in total assets—will be prohibited from making share repurchases. Additionally, dividend payments will be capped and tied to a formula based on recent income, the Fed announced.

Kyle Rittenhouse’s Attorney Demands Biden Remove Ad That Claims Rittenhouse is a ‘White Supremacist”

by Damjan Tutarkov
LaCorte News

Kyle Rittenhouse’s attorney is threatening Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden with a defamation lawsuit over a campaign ad Biden posted on his Twitter account Wednesday that portrays Rittenhouse as a white supremacist.

The video features remarks President Trump made about white supremacy during the debate Tuesday night, as images are shown of the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

[…] Next, the video shows debate moderator Chris Wallace speaking about white supremacist violence and, as Wallace mentions Kenosha, an image is shown of the 17-year-old Rittenhouse, who is accused of killing two protesters and injuring a third in Kenosha last month.

“There’s no other way to put it: the President of the United States refused to disavow white supremacists on the debate stage last night,” reads the description of the video.
