Always A Simple Answer

Last Friday I stumbled across this little gem:

So in essence, what you’re saying is that if anyone wants to avoid death by assassination (in this case), they have to be careful of what they say?

There’s a simple word to describe this attitude:  terrorism.

And fuck you.

Deep Dark Thoughts

A couple of people have written to me to ask me how I feel about Charlie Kirk’s murder.  All I can think of is this:

I don’t think my mood is going to get any better.  And I don’t think I should post what I’m thinking at the moment.

Now, if you’ll excuse me…

Stable Door

I see that the psycho who fatally stabbed that Ukrainian refugee girl on a train in Charlotte NC has been caught and charged with murder.

That’s all well and good;  but I don’t think we should stop there.  Apparently, Our Stabby-Boy has a long and storied history of psychotic behavior, well known to the Awfforiteez in Charlotte.

I wanna go all Hammurabi on the assholes who let this bastard loose to roam the city.  Let them be charged with murder too — or at minimum as accessories to murder — because they are as culpable as he is.

And I don’t care if he is “mentally incompetent” or any of the excuses dreamed up by doctors and lawyers for cases like this.  Fucking hang him, shoot him or give him the Cyanide Ride.  Now.

Because as sure as I’m sitting here, you have to know that at some point the details of his hideous crime will be forgotten and he’ll be released onto the streets, again.

In which case I will definitely be calling for the immediate execution of all the people who enabled this to happen.

Easy Fix

So there’s this little back-and-forth between various IRS employees:

A deep state Internal Revenue Service (IRS) official has been attacking President Donald Trump’s agenda after one of her colleagues was ousted for allegedly targeting conservatives.

IRS Appeals Officer Niki Wilkinson commented on a LinkedIn post and claimed Republicans were “fear mongering” when it came to the work of the IRS official whom the Daily Caller on Wednesday identified as Holly Paz.

“Wilkinson made the remarks in a comment on conservative activist Chuck Flint’s post about Holly Paz, a former IRS official who served as a deputy to Lois Lerner. Lerner was head of the IRS division responsible for the Tea Party targeting scandal during the Obama administration,” the report said.

Flint is the president of the Alliance for IRS Accountability. He was quoted in his post as saying, “Paz’s Biden-era pass-through unit is now bludgeoning conservative businesses with fines and must be disbanded. Commissioner Long is flexing his muscles on the IRS Deep State and sending a signal to rogue bureaucrats by placing Paz on leave.”

In response, Wilkinson said, “Such a farce! Interesting how Senators outside the IRS are fear mongering and falsely describing the work. They have no idea what Examiners found in those audits, which in fact exposed fraud or noncompliance in the passthrough area as for years the IRS didn’t effectively audit them — there was a history of ‘no changes’ because Examiners didn’t have the skill or the time to do the work. And Paz was not diving charge of this unit, but rather it was one of many under her umbrella as the LB&I Comm’r.”

Yeah, whatever.  As there are all these claims and counter-claims refuting each other, it’s impossible to divine the truth from the smoke.

I have a modest (Alexandrine) suggestion for a solution:  close down the fucking IRS altogether and fire all IRS employees, to be replaced at some later stage by a minuscule group of newcomers (previous employment at the IRS being an immediate disqualifier).

I don’t actually care what replaces it — 5% national sales tax, [your suggestion here] — but just get rid of these meddling, intrusive bureaucrats who seem to think they own your income when in fact it’s your money and not theirs to control.

Burn down the whole village, not to save it but to save us.
