[MSN] A U.S. Tax Court judge ordered the Internal Revenue Service to disclose whether it brought a criminal inquiry against the Clinton Foundation.
The tax agency has said in the past that no such inquiry took place, but Judge David Gustafson insisted the claim "was not supported by the administrative record and thus constituted an abuse of discretion," according to an April 22 ruling obtained by Just The News.
Gustafson sent the case back to the IRS Whistleblower Office to "explore" a "gap" in the agency's records.
"The WO [Whistleblower Office] must further investigate to determine whether CI [criminal investigative division] proceeded with an investigation based on petitioners' information and collected proceeds," the judge said. "It seems clear we should remand the case to the WO so that it can explore this gap."
Gustafson added that a trial pertaining to "dereliction of duty by the IRS" will not take place.
An unlike the Lois Lerner of May 2013 (OBAMA Years) targeting of Conservative Groups. I am sure the media will go Ape Stinky stuff to prove the Clinton's were Political targets.
NOTE: Grounds for the Investigation started under the Obama Admin in 2008 and continued well into late 2015. Just prior to 2016 Election.

Wondering Out Loud
Could Obama maybe have been looking at the long game?
Because by implying she accepted Foreign donates in a Pay to Play scheme (like the Biden's) while US SOS sure would have a major impact? Thus setting the stage for the Dementia Joe puppet government run by _______/Pelosi.

Oh no - not another IRS abuse of power; in this case, doing a sham CID investigation into the Clinton Foundation; nothing found, no harm done, right? Was that Lerner's last act on her way out the door?

[NYPOST] A statue of Jesus was smashed and an American flag burned outside a Catholic church in Brooklyn — in what cops are calling a possible hate crime.
The incident occurred around 10 p.m. Thursday when an unknown person hopped the fence at St. Athanasius Church on Bay Parkway at 61st Street in Bensonhurst, police said.
The vandal pushed over a statue of Jesus’s crucifixion, breaking it into pieces, and torched an American flag hanging outside the rectory, according to cops.
The church’s pastor, Msgr. David Cassato, noticed the act of vandalism around 8 a.m. Friday and reported it to the NYPD, the Diocese of Brooklyn said in a statement.
The NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force is looking into the incident.
"This was truly an act of hatred, and today is the saddest day of my twenty years here at this parish," Cassato said in the diocese release.
The crucifix was installed in 2010 to honor the memory of Cassato’s mother, the statement said.

[People] In PEOPLE's exclusive sneak peek at Sunday's episode of the new TLC series, Anna and Lucy DeCinque, 35, seek out a fertility specialist to ask some questions about starting a family. Like everything in their lives though, the pair want to do it together.
"We're thinking we want to start a family so we want to know our options," Anna begins.
"And you have partners?" the doctor asks as they reply in unison: "We share a partner."
"We have one boyfriend that we share together, his name is Ben," Anna says.
"And we see us having a child with him, both of us," adds Lucy, while Anna explains further, "Not just one child, two babies. She needs to be pregnant and I need to be pregnant at exactly the same time."
The twins claim to have spent almost a quarter of a million dollars on plastic surgery to look the same, and share a boyfriend, 31-year-old mechanic Ben Byrne.
Sad that two grown women have to take playing dress-up so far.
[PJ] Military.com reports that Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier has been relieved of his duties pending an investigation after he appeared on a podcast and criticized the rise of Marxism in the United States military.
Lohmeier served for 14 years in the U.S. Air Force before joining Space Force among its first officers and recruits. He has written and self-published a book, Irresistible Revolution: Marxism’s Goal of Conquest and the Unmaking of the American Military. He appeared on a podcast, called Information Operation, to discuss the book on May 7. He was relieved of his duties as commander of the 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado on Friday, May 14, by order of Lt. Gen. Steven Whiting. Public affairs made it clear that his comments are the reason his job now hangs in the balance.
#9
Why do I get the idea that he was relieved because he wrote and pushed his book while he was still active duty, and not exactly because it was anti-marxist?
#11
I called the Lt General's office and left a message with the person on duty that the General was a fucking prick for relieving the officer. I gave him my name and cell phone number saying if the General had the balls he could call me back.
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] Egypt’s Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation Mohammed Abdel Aty has urged state institutions run by his ministry to monitor and stop any encroachment on water canals and irrigation properties.
His orders came as Egypt is locked in a dispute with Æthiopia over its giant hydropower dam on the Blue Nile.
Egypt and Sudan are calling for a legally binding agreement on the Grand Æthiopian Renaissance Dam’s (GERD) filling and operation but Addis Ababa rejects to commit to such a deal.
Congolese President and current chair of the African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... Felix Tshisekedi has concluded an African tour aimed at resolving the dispute.
Aty said Friday that his order aims to ensure that all Egyptian provinces get their water needs.
Spokesman for the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation Mohammed Ghanem stated that in the past years, the Ministry has succeeded to a great extent in facing the encroachments on the Nile River.
Ghanem said a total of 62,000 encroachments have been removed so far.
Media advisor to the Ministry of Agriculture Ahmed Ibrahim told the Middle East News Agency that it is highly important to update the irrigation system.
This falls under the Egyptian efforts to optimize its water resources.
Egypt is concerned over the impact of GERD on its water share, 55.5 billion cubic meters.

[DAILYTIMES.PK] Adji Sarr, who has accused Senegal ... a nation of about 14 million on the west coast of Africa bordering Mauretania to the north, Mali to the east, and a pair of Guineas to the south, one of them Bissau. It is 90 percent Mohammedan and has more than 80 political parties. Its primary purpose seems to be absorbing refugees... ’s opposition leader of rape, has learned the consequences of speaking out about sexual abuse in the conservative West African country the hard way.
Sarr, who is in her early 20s, in February told police that opposition leader Ousmane Sonko had forced her to sleep with him on several occasions and threatened reprisals if she refused.
The move sparked a political firestorm in Senegal: Sonko’s subsequent arrest triggered the worst unrest the usually tranquil country had seen in years.
Thousands of mostly young people erupted into the streets in nationwide demonstrations in which at least 10 people were killed. Protesters also looted shops, hurled stones at police and torched cars during the demonstrations.
The unrest only abated after a judge released Sonko from detention in March and President Macky Sall lifted unpopular coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... -related restrictions.
To supporters of Sonko, his legal troubles fit a perceived pattern of politically motivated court cases against rivals of the president. Many also believe that Sarr invented the accusation.
A devout Moslem who is fiercely critical of Senegal’s elite, 46-year-old Sonko denies the charge against him and has accused Sall of engineering it — which the president in turn denied.
Sarr has meanwhile gone into hiding over fears for her own safety, according to her lawyers.
Some worry that the controversy will silence other women from speaking out about sexual abuse.
"The victims will say to themselves: ’If I talk about what I’ve endured, will I not suffer the same fate as Adji Sarr?" said Senegalese sociologist Selly Ba.
Mission accomplished.

[Washington Examiner] Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers said Friday that inflation is going up even faster than he predicted, pushing back against the more rosy economic outlook of the Federal Reserve and the Biden White House. "If only Joe knew"
"I was on the worried side about inflation and it’s all moved much faster, much sooner than I had predicted," Summers wrote on Friday. "That has to make us nervous going forward."
Annual inflation rose to 4.2% in April, the highest in nearly 13 years, with costs rising across the board, according to a report released by the Department of Labor earlier this week.
Summers cited the costs for labor, housing, and medical services as driving inflationary pressures within the economy during an interview with Bloomberg Television.

Bread, milk, eggs, Bacon, can goods, Sugar, Coffee and etc... are all up in Wally World stores.
We have strangely noted that our area Food Loins and IGA supermarkets are actually lower in price, better stocked and have further out Best By Dates expiration dates than Wally World on too many items.
How Strong is the Dollar since the Socialist-Democrats went on a Trillion $$ spending spree? Click and pick a country we buy/import a lot of food and goods from and see the USD$ value to their currency.

I still don't discount "demand inflation" (lumber, for example). Labor costs going up as employers increase wages to attract workers as so many don't want to work courtesy of the USG.
I read somewhere that the weather is accounting for poor crop yields.

As per reports, the mother filed a complaint in the Haidri Police Station against her son for his criminal act. In the complaint, she claimed that her 25-year-old son had raped forcefully her teenage daughter.
The mother said that the accused had raped her daughter when she was alone at home, so a legal action should be taken against him. The police had registered the case under the charges of forcible rape and arrested the accused person.
As per claims of the War on Rape, a human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... group, as many as 82 percent of the rape cases in Pakistain are being committed by relatives of the female victims.

[Med Press] Eighteen scientists from some of the world's most prestigious research institutions are urging their colleagues to dig deeper into the origins of the coronavirus responsible for the global pandemic.
In a letter published Thursday in the journal Science, they argue that there is not yet enough evidence to rule out the possibility that the SARS-CoV-2 virus escaped from a lab in China, and they call for a "proper investigation" into the matter.
"We believe this question deserves a fair and thorough science-based investigation, and that any subsequent judgment should be made on the data available," said Dr. David Relman, professor of microbiology and immunology at Stanford University who helped pen the letter.
The brief letter was prompted in part by the March 30 publication of a report commissioned by the World Health Organization that sought to discover the origin of the virus that has resulted in the deaths of more than 3.3 million people across the globe.
The authors of that report, which is credited to both the WHO and China, ranked each of four possible scenarios on a scale from "extremely unlikely" to "very likely."
After considering information, data and samples presented by the Chinese members of the team, the authors concluded the likelihood that the virus jumped from a source animal to an intermediary species and then to humans was "likely to very likely," while an introduction due to an accidental laboratory leak was deemed "extremely unlikely."
