    Default News that liberals will not like



    Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation Friday that bans “sanctuary cities” in the state, fulfilling a pledge he made while on the campaign trail.

    DeSantis — in a ceremony at the Okaloosa County Commission chambers alongside Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz — added his signature to SB 168.

    The bill requires state and local governments to honor detainers made by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.

    Furthermore, the bill prohibits local governments from adopting “sanctuary” policies that protect illegal immigrants, requiring them to notify ICE when an individual subject to a detainer is released from their custody.

    Default IRS made right call withholding Trump tax returns from Congress: DOJ



    The IRS would have been breaking the law if it had turned President Trump’s tax returns over to Congress without his permission, the Justice Department has ruled in a new advisory opinion released Friday.

    The ruling is the basis for Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin’s decision to refuse to comply with a DEMOCRAT-dominatedHouse committee’s dubious demand for the tax returns.

    While the law says key committees can demand any return and the government ‘shall furnish” it, the law doesn’t actually mean that, concluded Steven A. Engel, the assistant attorney general at the Office of Legal Counsel, which acts as the government’s internal legal affairs bureau.

    Mr. Engel said the law’s broad powers must be read in context.

    He said that while one part says the information “shall” be turned over, another part of the same section of tax law says tax information is generally considered protected and Congress must state a valid reason for wanting the information.

    DEMOCRATS didn’t give a valid reason.

    ATHEISTS BTFO



    In Gaylor v. Mnuchin, the atheist group Freedom From Religion Foundation sued the IRS to end the parsonage allowance, a federal tax provision which allows churches, mosques, and synagogues to provide faith leaders a tax-free housing allowance to help them live in the communities they serve.

    The Becket Fund, which represented the ministers, said, “The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit recently rejected the atheists’ challenge and unanimously upheld the tax exemption as constitutional.”

    Thursday was the last day the Freedom From Religion Foundation could appeal to the Supreme Court, and they declined, thus ending the lawsuit by default.

    Ironically, even though the Freedom From Religion Foundation claimed that this exemption was an excessive entanglement of the separation of church and state, the opposite is true.

    The Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit, in its final decision, said without the exemption, “The IRS would need to interrogate ministers on the specifics of their worship activities [and] determine which activities constitute ‘worship.’” That is “excessive entanglement” between church and state.

    Of course, this lawsuit was entirely petty, unnecessary, and absurd, wasting time and resources.

    Even though religious liberty continues to spur fights nationwide, it’s good to see such militant combatants against religious freedom get the wind knocked out of them in the court system.

    They sure do. With no merit, with no cause. Thankfully everyone sees that. They are scuttling their own ship.

    Exactly.

    "tax law says tax information is generally considered protected and Congress must state a valid reason for wanting the information."
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Yes, yes they will. Those rats will drown though, by their own doing or with help. No one is forgetting this maniacal bullshit.
