Thanks, to a Politician Who Did His Job
When the IRS visited my home, Jim Jordan actually did something about it. Why couldn't I call a Democrat?
A new report about IRS home visits has just been released by the House Weaponization of Government Committee, chaired by Ohio congressman Jim Jordan. It outlines disturbing issues, including confirmation that IRS agents making home visits may come without warning, using aliases, and without informing local enforcement agencies of their presence.
One of the cases outlined is my own. My home was visited by the IRS while I was testifying before Jordan’s Committee about the Twitter Files on March 9th. Sincere thanks are due to Chairman Jordan, whose staff not only demanded and got answers in my case, but achieved a concrete policy change, as IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel announced in July new procedures that would “end most” home visits.
Anticipating criticism for expressing public thanks to a Republican congressman, I’d like to ask Democratic Party partisans: to which elected Democrat should I have appealed for help in this matter? The one who called me a “so-called journalist” on the House floor? The one who told me to take off my “tinfoil hat” and put greater trust in intelligence services? The ones in leadership who threatened me with jail time? I gave votes to the party for thirty years. Which elected Democrat would have performed basic constituent services in my case? Feel free to raise a hand.
If silence is the answer, why should I ever vote for a Democrat again?
Saying the "quiet part" out loud. He has now learned the same lesson that we all do as we get older.

I like Matt. I hate throwing the word hero around and i won't do that in this case either but I admire his conviction on the issue of censorship and his striving for the truth. He really stood out during the covid period and since. I like Glen Greenwald also.
In regards to democrats and why they do what they do, it got explained to me on another message board by a guy who lives on the west side of Washington amongst the majority democrat population. He explained that it is very important to democrats that everyone thinks and acts the same on major issues. My older Democrat sister had this same observation when she lived in Bellevue. Group think is very important. Thus, when there is an outlier, someone who questions the group think, that person is a threat and it is alright to use extreme measures like censorship or de-platforming ...and apparently sending the IRS after you...to silence them.
Greenwald, in a recent interview with Jordan Peterson, said that to Gen Y and even more to Gen Z, free speech isn't so important. Censorship should be used to "protect" the population from "miss information". So, unless this current generation changes this belief things may only get worse.
Anyways. Thanks for the post Borg.
And i forgot to add, I like Jim Jordan a lot too. I watch the committee meetings he chairs and the guy is sharp, quick thinking and a real bulldog. I dont know how he keeps his wits about him dealing with Debbie Wausermen Shultz and Stacy Plaskett.

If anyone else here gets his columns, read up about Amy Klobachar and how she leads the democrats in attempting to silence anybody that has different opinions.
Some of his columns are open to the public and some are for subscribers only. This one was open so I feel free to copy and paste.
Someone has to be made the face of the digital censorship movement. It might as well be Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar
If you read this morning’s Racket article about Senator Amy Klobuchar’s letter to Jeff Bezos asking for “proactive measures” to suppress sites like Substack or Rumble, you probably gathered I’m in a mood. I’ve had it.
Whether it’s NewsGuard slapping “anti-US” labels on Joe Lauria and Consortium News, or Drs. Jay Bhattacharya, Aaron Kheriaty, and Martin Kulldorff censored on multiple platforms for being right on Covid, or podcaster Alison Morrow fired from a state job for interviewing Kheriaty, or friend CJ Hopkins in Germany criminally convicted for a book cover, or the FBI asking Twitter to remove Aaron Mate for the Ukrainian Secret Police, or ballooning budget requests of “counter-disinformation” enforcement agencies, or the new jailing even of Owen Shroyer for having “helped create January 6th” with speech, or of course the forever-detention of Julian Assange, and above all the total indifference of legacy media to all of it, it’s over. I’ve lost patience. Time for a more focused approach.
A problem when grappling with the censorship hydra is that it has no public face, no Tipper Gore or Jerry Falwell to personify the topic. Klobuchar, for reasons listed this morning and beyond, is right for this role. She needs to be Red Pencil Amy, Blacklist Amy, Amy “Thought Police” Klobuchar. And longshot or not, removal of her from office in next year’s election or even from Senate leadership positions is a worthwhile goal. The rest of Washington needs to read public sentiment about this issue through a colleague’s public relations dilemma.
I’ve already got a lot on my plate, but I’ll make Klobuchar a personal branding project, even if it takes time. I’ll write up any move she makes in this direction, or not in this direction. Her lesser-known partner in the bid to make Amazon a “verified sources only” zone, congressman Joseph Morelle of the Rochester, New York area, can be thrown in. Think of Morelle as the VP half of the censorship movement’s ticket. It’s nothing personal. At earlier times this person could have been anyone from Rick Stengel to Adam Schiff (especially him) or Mark Warner. Klobuchar and Morelle just picked the wrong time in my personal downward spiral to pull this stunt.
T-shirting, postering, meming ideas very welcome.
Incidentally, I’m still planning town halls on the speech subject, and in fact have one confirmed at my old college in the third week of November. (Details to come). Willing to do more if anyone can help on the venue side. Although perhaps these events would be best held in Minnesota now.
For readers who might be concerned I’m losing my mind, you’re not wrong. What can I say? Even my dog flashes worried looks at me these days. But I was pushed. Pushed I say! And so were many, many others. A la bataille!
Thanks for subscribing to Racket News. This post is public, so feel free to share it.
Love to hear why i got so many down votes.
Im not one who gets off on arguing.
Whats inaccurate about what i posted?
People only like hearing things the align with them, the truth hurts their feelings. Hence the down votes. Good thing they don’t mean shit.
As you go thru life and have "Life Experiences " you gain wisdom.
Some more than others.
Was listening to a democratic pundit last night.
(You have to listen to what is running through the minds of everyone on both sides)
He's of the opinion that biden will not run.
The dems know that harris is unelectable.
Newsom has the blood of a failed California on his hands.
Klobuchar was one of the ones he said may step up to the plate.
That made my skin crawl.
She ate a salad with someone’s comb!
Oh shit, now you've gone and done it. You let it out of the bag that you like Jim Jordan. Welcome to the club that gets downvoted for anything and everything, even posting the sky is blue.

I always picture these serial downvoters as...
I don't thing the dems will run Newsom in '24 just because Trump will absolutely eat his lunch and completely ruin his chances of ever running for higher office, just like he did to DeSantis.
I'm still of the mindset that Newsom runs for Feinstein's seat so he can work on sinking the country for the rest of his life, rather than a simple 4 - 8 year period.
Unfortunately there will never be another Republican in the WH, and probably in CA too. Dems literally have no filter or restraint when it comes to keeping their power. They have a far-reaching network that will murder or threaten anyone to accomplish their goals. No Republican is willing to go that far. Dems are untouchable atm and most likely willl continue to be. Most Republicans can also be bought, in fact, any Republican will say anything for enough money, or threatened enough. So Republicans are content to give out verbal lashings in Congress, Democrats let them know that they better not go too far, “If you know what’s good for you and your family.”
It’s so amazing to see the Dems arrogance as the Jan 6 tapes are viewed. When you have to FBI, the military, the WH, the SCOTUS, and the AG, you can literally do anything. It’s comical to see the guys with ear pieces on pushing people towards the capital. They’re in almost every shot. Of course the FBI won’t give out information since they’re concerned about their undercover agents getting made.
Pit Row
Meanwhile in Chicago under Dem policies
If this is true.....this makes me sick to my stomach.....what a helpless feeling watching hard earned dollars of Americans struggling to put food on their table going to this shit and nothing you can do about it....but work harder.
Hang all politicians and make it a damn privilege to hold office. As I see it all these cock suckers could easily hold a 9-5 job and be a politician. Cut all the fat and bullshit out everywhere. By the people for the people. We vote on whatever legislation once a month on Wednesdays via blockchain technology. These assholes have run amuck for far too many centuries. Vote on single issues. Not 2200 pages of bullshit that’s presented at the last hour with some horse shit response of “you have to pass it in order to read it”. Make it treason to be in office and come out with more wealth than you started. They need to live in glass houses so we can see every damn move they make. No secrets. No closed door meetings. No more bullshit.
I hate posting anything FoxNews since they are the absolute #1 garbage network in todays media
Not 2200 pages of bullshit that’s presented at the last hour
I always said, Slip in term limits so the assholes pass it.
I voted Democrat my whole life until 2016 when I saw they tried to shove Hillary, a corrupt likely murdering sociopath, up our butts. Voted for Jill Stein in 2016 then ended up voting Trump in 2020 once I saw the realities of what is happening. He's honestly a shit choice and I don't agree with a lot of his approach but it's clear he's taking on the entrenched Deep State corrupt pedophile elite (yes I said it). Anyone seen how Pizzagate is making a major comeback post-Epstein? My personal belief is the top echelon of the left-wing are deeply involved in pedophelia.

DemocRAT logic makes me laugh......
There was a time when I would vote for a Democrat because they were simply a better option (or lesser of two evils) than the Republican.
These days....Hell will freeze over before I voted for a Democrat. The Republicans aren't any better. They all make me sick.
