Why would the IRS, the National Institutes of Health or the Small Business Administration need military-style weapons, training and millions of rounds of ammunition?
MAY 3, 2023 – A disturbing report came out today that is getting very little attention in the corporate mainstream media.
Federal agencies such as the Internal Revenue Service and the Environmental Protection Agency have spent $3.7 billion in taxpayer dollars on guns, ammunition, and other “military-style equipment,” according to the watchdog group Open the Books.
Its report found agencies arming to the teeth. Oh, that must be the FBI.
No. These agencies range from the National Institutes of Health, NASA, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Small Business Administration, among others, and they have historically had no law enforcement mission in their charter documents.
Federal agencies have beefed up spending on weapons, ammunition and military training under the Biden administration, according to data provided to the Washington Free Beacon. The IRS has seen its annual spending on these items nearly double since 2020, while the whole federal government has seen a 60 percent increase over the same period.
This should not surprise us, coming from a president who routinely mocks and expresses his disdain for conservative, patriotic Americans.
Kremlin Mocks & Dismisses White House’s High Russian Casualty Count BY TYLER DURDEN
TUESDAY, MAY 02, 2023 – 03:11 PM – The Kremlin has reacted to a Monday briefing by National Security Council spokesman John Kirby wherein he issued a surprisingly high estimate of Russian casualties which he said took place since December in the contested Donetsk city of Bakhmut. He said Russian forces have suffered over 100,000 total casualties – including about 20,000 soldiers killed in combat and another 80,000 wounded.
In response, Dmitry Peskov mocked and dismissed these figures on Tuesday, saying the White House is pulling the numbers out of a hat, and further stressed the US cannot possibly know any of this.
“Pulling out figures out of a hat, Washington does not have the opportunity to give any correct figures, they do not have such data, this is how it should be treated” Peskov said, as cited in national media.
