White House deputy chief of staff: ‘Time to abolish the IRS’



While Americans dread filing their taxes this spring, President Donald Trump is currently trying to make his tax cuts permanent.

However, that’s not all the Trump administration is suggesting.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino has been sounding off about abolishing the IRS altogether, writing in a post on X: “Time to abolish the IRS.”

“He is the White House deputy chief of staff, so this is not a nobody,” Jill Savage of “Blaze News Tonight” comments.


And X users are overwhelmingly behind Scavino’s post, including user “Lady Patriot.”

“Trump’s anti-IRS stance is pure genius. Defund the bureaucrats, empower the people. Conservatives have been dreaming of this moment for decades,” she wrote.

“They certainly have,” Savage agrees. “I think if you could go through and say, ‘Oh, what’s one of the departments, right, okay, yes, the Department of Education, all these other ones.’ The IRS is the top of the top.”

“Remember, we’re coming right out of a time in which the other side was going, ‘We’re going to add to the IRS. We’re going to put a bunch more people, 87,000 IRS agents, we’re giving them guns,'" Matthew Peterson adds. “And you had the rest of the country going, ‘Oh my gosh, I’ll meet you in the gulags.’”

“Now, this is a real rollback. It’s real; it’s not fake. This is something that’s actually happening; people are talking about these things; they’re full of excitement, and they’re pushing forward,” he continues.

6,000 IRS employees just got the ultimate tax write-off: Their jobs



President Donald Trump has not only hinted at abolishing the IRS entirely, but has now announced that nearly 6,000 employees of the agency will be let go.

Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” is thrilled, to say the least.

“Democrats are warning that losing such a large number of employees could disrupt the ability of Americans to easily file their taxes this year,” Gonzales reports, stifling laughter. “Keep it up. Keep complaining and crying.”

“Every time President Trump keeps his promise, which was to root out all of this bureaucracy, all of the redundancy, all of the waste and fraud and corruption and the overpayment of taxes,” she continues, “please, keep crying about it.”


The move is certainly a 180 of the agency’s direction under Biden, who oversaw the IRS’ hiring of nearly 20,000 new employees and creation of an $80 billion investment plan to “improve tax enforcement and customer service.”

“Yeah, I’m sure a government entity is improving customer service,” Gonzales comments. “That’s literally never happened.”

“Lectern guy” Adam Johnson finds the whole situation quite humorous as well.

“From the party that said, ‘We want to make sure these billionaires are paying their fair share.’ I found it to be an interesting move when they said, ‘Anyone making $600,’” Johnson comments. “That, to me, is not a lot of money. I mean, it’s a couple of nice dinners.”

“I mean, it’s just beautiful to see,” Gonzales adds. “Especially from the IRS. I mean, it’s like, how about instead of spending the $80 billion and hiring new, what, 20,000 agents, whatever that calculates out to, we can just shut down the whole building and stop paying you taxes.”

“Because you’re stealing from me,” she adds.

Insider reveals: ​Super Bowl, hypocritical Democrats, and IRS backfire exposed



Football fans everywhere couldn’t be happier that Super Bowl LIX ended in the Philadelphia Eagles' triumphant resurgence — and Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” was one of them.

Burguiere, who was in the crowd for the 20th time, was thrilled with the response President Trump received from those also in attendance.

“They put him up on the screen, loud cheers, really positive response after he was on the screen for maybe five seconds,” Stu explains, noting that while he’s thrilled, his week has been tainted by a letter he received in the mail.

“I somehow survived the entire Obama administration and the Biden administration without getting audited, and yet what did I get in the mail a week ago but a letter from the IRS promising to audit me? So the DOGE cannot come fast enough,” he tells financial expert Carol Roth.


“That is a direct result of the fact that the Democrats campaigned on adding tens of thousands of new agents to the IRS, and they promised you that it was only going to be for the billionaires. So congratulations on your billionaire status,” Roth laughs.

“I find it hilarious that everybody who is looking for you to report your $600 Venmo payments and eBay payments, because of billionaires, now all of a sudden is having a conniption fit that we want some transparency to where our money is going. It’s not even their money; it is our money,” she continues.

This is why what Trump is attempting with the DOGE is so important.

“I would like to see that limit for reporting be raised back up to where it was before, which was $20,000, or even higher, because if you’re doing these things as hobbyists, you really don’t need to be on that. Our tax situation isn’t going to shift materially, so why not give people a break and let them not have to worry about keeping transactions?” Roth says.

“It just goes to show how completely hypocritical Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, all of these Dems are, that they want to sneak in and take a look and put you under the microscope, but when they forcibly take $5 trillion from us per year, and we demand to know how that’s being spent, all of a sudden they want to be up in arms over it,” she adds.

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.
