The IRS is widely disliked, seen as a symbol of government overreach and a source of financial burden on citizens. Critics argue that its practices resemble a shakedown, with historical roots in income tax legislation that many deem anti-American.

Recent cuts to IRS staff have sparked hope for a reduction in its authority and influence. Advocates for reform suggest replacing income tax with tariffs, aiming to minimize the IRS's role and restore a government that governs least.

Fox News: Newly surfaced report provides more clues on COVID outbreak source and timeline
Newly surfaced report provides more clues on COVID outbreak source and timeline
A recently released 2022 Defense Department report indicates that seven U.S. service members exhibited COVID-19-like symptoms after competing in the World Military Games in Wuhan, China, in October 2019, prior to the virus's official outbreak in the U.S. This finding raises questions about the timeline of the virus's spread and contradicts earlier claims by the Biden administration.

The report, which was required to be made public but was withheld until recently, details that while the athletes showed symptoms, they were resolved quickly and attributed to other illnesses. The Pentagon had previously stated there was no evidence of COVID-19 infections among the participants. The findings have led to calls for further investigation into the events surrounding the games and their potential link to the pandemic.
