TOP STORIES this week that Democrats DIDN'T want you to see



There are some stories from the past week that the mainstream media wasn’t jumping to cover — and likely would be quite pleased if you never saw them.

However, Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show” isn’t going to let that happen.

The first story pertains to the Pennsylvania Department of State’s not-so-cryptic post on its X account. It wrote that Pennsylvanians “won’t always know the final results of all races on election night.”

“Any changes in results that occur as counties continue to count ballots are not evidence that an election is ‘rigged,’” the post continued before pointing X users to a government “fact-check” webpage.

“First of all, a government is not supposed to serve as a fact-check. A government is supposed to tell the truth, and journalists are supposed to serve as a fact-check to hold accountable any government officials that are lying,” Wheeler says in disbelief.

“Why is the Pennsylvania Department of State warning us three months before the election that we’re actually not going to know the results of the election on the night of the election?” she asks.

The second story that’s been buried is that Joe Rogan did not endorse RFK Jr. — despite media reports claiming he did.

“In fact, Joe Rogan himself denied that he endorsed RFK Jr. He said he likes the guy, he spoke very highly of the guy, he endorses some of his policies, but he did not endorse him in the sense that Joe Rogan did not say he was going to vote for RFK and that you should vote for RFK,” Wheeler explains.

But the stories get worse — or better, depending on how you look at it.

In a video starring none other than Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases tells the audience that he’s gotten COVID-19 for the third time despite being vaccinated and boosted a total of six times.

“What kind of absolute nutcase gets the COVID vaccine six times? Oh, the kind that gets COVID three times because you’ve shot your immune system,” Wheeler laughs before moving onto the next story — which should surprise no one.

“Kamala Harris copied Donald Trump on his new plan for no tax on tips,” Wheeler explains, adding, “she’s trying to take the wind out of Trump’s sails.”

However, under the Biden administration, more IRS agents were hired in order to make sure that those working in the service industry paid taxes on tips or else they would go after those waiters and waitresses.

“What an absolute liar,” Wheeler says.

IRS chief says online threats have prompted security review, agency disputes GOP allegations



The Internal Revenue Service is reviewing its security systems and taking steps to protect its employees after the agency has said it received threats online following attacks from Republicans over plans to increase the IRS workforce.

An internal memo reported by ABC News reveals that IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig has ordered risk assessments for each of the agency's 600 facilities to identify potential security vulnerabilities.

"This includes conducting risk assessments based on data-driven decisions given the current environment and monitoring perimeter security, designations of restricted areas, exterior lighting, security around entrances to our facilities and other various protections," Rettig wrote to employees Tuesday.

"We also monitor threat intelligence and have increased engagement with TIGTA, Department of Homeland Security and local law enforcement officials so we’re ready to implement additional countermeasures and notifications to employees if circumstances warrant," Rettig wrote.

Congress appropriated $78 billion in new future funding for the IRS over the next 10 years as part of the Inflation Reduction Act, a watered-down version of President Joe Biden's Build Back Better plan. The legislation included a new 15% minimum tax on corporate profits, and the Biden administration has said the additional IRS funding is for enforcement to make sure the wealthy are paying taxes.

However, Republicans have claimed the IRS will use the funding to hire 87,000 new agents, which will then be used to audit the middle class and the Biden administration's political opponents.

"Do you make $75,000 or less?" House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) tweeted. "Democrats' new army of 87,000 IRS agents will be coming for you—with 710,000 new audits for Americans who earn less than $75k."

Some Republicans have linked potential IRS enforcement to the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home on Aug. 8, echoing Trump's accusations that the Biden administration has "weaponized" law enforcement against conservatives.

“Think about it: If the left will weaponize the FBI to raid President Trump’s personal residence, they will surely weaponize the IRS’s new 87,000 agents, many of whom will be trained in the use of deadly force, to go after any American citizen,” Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) said on the House floor earlier this month.

Many of these concerns are linked to the Obama-era IRS targeting scandal, in which the agency was accused of targeting conservative nonprofit groups based on their political beliefs.

The Biden administration has denied these allegations. Officials told ABC News the 87,000 new agents claim comes from a year-old report that described what the agency could do with nearly $80 billion in new funding from Biden's American Families Plan. A Department of the Treasury official said most of those new hires would not be IRS agents and wouldn't be new positions.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has also disputed claims the IRS will audit middle-class Americans. In a letter to Rettig, Yellen said the agency intends to hire auditors who will enforce tax laws against wealthy corporations and high-income Americans. About 50,000 of the new IRS hires will replace retiring employees, meaning the agency will add only 20,000 - 30,000 workers, according to Yellen.

"New staff will be hired to improve taxpayer services and experienced auditors who can take on corporate and high-end tax evaders, without increasing audit rates relative to historical norms for people earning under $400,000 each year," a Treasury Department spokeswoman said last week.

Rettig told the Washington Post in an interview Wednesday that the rhetoric from Republican lawmakers is harmful and has incited online threats made against IRS agents.

“We see what’s out there in terms of social media. Our workforce is concerned about their safety,” Rettig said. “The comments being made are extremely disrespectful to the agency, to the employees and to the country.”
