Saying prayers for St. Clare’s retirees
I am writing to thank Andrew Waite for his beautiful column (“St. Clare’s pensioners’ plea is straight from the heart”) in the Dec. 18 Gazette, which l have been taking to my Catholic church each week when I go.
I cut the whole article out of the newspaper, including “The St. Clare’s pension crisis — a timeline.” I sit in church and read Andrew Waite’s article so that God can hear it as I read it.
I am hoping that if I do this each week without fail, maybe God will help my family members, Jerry and Kathy Adach, who worked at St. Clare’s Hospital for 59 years combined.
They were given three weeks’ notice and were given no pension for their loyal service at St. Clare’s Hospital. While I am at church, I pray for the 1,100 others who had their pensions taken away or reduced.
I also thank in my prayers the following people who have stood by the St. Clare’s Hospital retirees all these gut-wrenching years: Mary Hartshorne, the one-of-a-kind leader who has been the face and voice of the 1,100 former St. Clare’s Hospital employees; Sen. Jim Tedisco and Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara, who fought earnestly to recover lost money for the pensions; and Mark Mahoney and John Cropley, who wrote about the St. Clare’s pension crisis in detail over the years in The Gazette.
Lastly, I thank the merged legal team of the AARP Foundation and the state Attorney General’s office.
If the St. Clare’s retirees did not have this great support, where would they be?

Busy intersection needs roundabout
Now that the town of Glenville has a full time DPW official, I believe that it is time to consider a roundabout for the intersection of Route 50 and Freemans Bridge Road.
It is the intersection of five roads and the light has to change five times to allow all flows of traffic to proceed.
It is truly a waste of people’s valuable time and could definitely be rectified by the use of a roundabout.
I realize that it is an expensive proposition, but the state has the funds to help with this type of project.

Democracy’s foes threaten our future
You may have your own list, but the list of enemies of democracy continues to lie and misinform the public to foster divisions in our country.
First and foremost is soon-to-be indicted Donald Trump.
How anyone can respect and follow him is astounding.
No need to list the reasons; not enough space for that.
That takes us next to Trump’s top enabler, Rupert Murdoch, who owns Fox News and Entertainment as well as right-wing newspapers. Murdoch sanctions his evening entertainment (not news) hosts to lie, misinform and spread conspiracy theories also found on other right-wing media outlets.
How people can listen and believe these liars is also unbelievable.
The third group on the list is the many hypocritical, grievance-driven, power-hungry Republicans who are Trump supporters, Fox contributors, conspiracy spreaders and those who are simply anti-democratic.
Red state Republicans are so beholden to evangelicals, the gun lobby, domestic extremists and ultra-conservatives that they rush to ban women’s reproductive rights, ban books to censure education, complain about crime while encouraging unbridled sales of firearms without a permit or adequate background checks, and installing “Jim Crow” restrictions on voting. I blame their voters, too.
The fourth category includes world dictators like Putin, who negatively impacts all nations.
There are more than a handful of anti-democratic Republicans and right-wing media pundits who not only admire Putin, but cheer him on.
Don’t let yourself, family members and friends be duped by these carnival barkers. Use critical thinking tools to determine what is true. Help save democracy. Vote.

Raymond Harris forgot to mention the Socialist Nazi democratic party threats to our CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.
Illegal/ False FISA warrants over through our government.
HRC and her criminal syndicate along with Sussman, Comey, Schiff, Pelosi , the FBI AND the weaponized DOJ.
The censoring of our first amendment through social media platforms.
The anti religion attacks by the democratic nazi socialist.
The indoctrination of our children by D.O.E and groomers destroying the family unit.
The control of speech and words .
The unending attack on the second amendment rights through legislation.
The unwillingness to protect the border and allow illegal immigrants and criminal elements to enter the country unvetted.
The collusion with money laundering Oligarch’s and enemy countries like China.
The willful and purposeful cover up of the Hunter Biden business dealings and 10% payoff to his father.
Look at the photo op clean up for Biden’s visit to ElPaso take a look at the before and after photos of the area.
Raymond you are the one who is hoodwinked into believe the MSM propaganda that streams on this page daily.
We now have a congress and rules inlace to take control of our country again from the deep state players.
Your parties endless attacks on Trump since 2015 and they still have nothing on him except media hyped allegations of being a dictator. Soon you will see the house cleaning with the new congress and the corruption of our government officials and office. I truly hope the democracy you cherish returns to a CONSTITUTIONAL Republic.
“FACTS”……… Thank you, Raymond Harris.
I guess all day long today I’m going to read from the blind mice donkey clowns that Biden is a traitor, and he should go to prison. I’m sure the FBI is lined up outside his house to tear it apart looking for more confidential, top-secret files like the ones they found in a little closet in Chicago in his think tank, by the way, it was funded by the Chinese government. I remember all of you lefties on here talking about Trump being a traitor, and how could he ever have things like that? Well guess what, what sweet irony because Biden just got caught with a bunch of top-secret files that he has had for at least seven years. They were found six days before the midterms, but it’s not until January that we find out about it. Where is the special counsel? Come on donkey Klowns what’s your answer?
By the way, I have 10 to 1 says the donkey clowns say it’s not the same thing. They’re going to say while Trump had more records, really it only takes one and Trump didn’t have them for seven years in an office building that had thousands of people come and go in it. Trump had to Secret Service guarding Mar-a-Lago.
I wonder of the sources of BM’s accusations against Biden are as reliable as where he gets his information on federal tax preparation. Read for your self and wait for his incoherent answer:
ANTHONY J SANTO
January 9th, 2023
“So when I send $1000 to my daughter for Christmas for them and the kids she now has to report it as a gift. And so I don’t get taxed on it I have to prove it went to a family member as a gift otherwise the tax has to be paid.” Posted by BM earlier today.
I hope the IRS reads this and goes after you for tax evasion. Gifts given to individuals, including children are NOT tax-deductible. In fact, there is a tax (You never heard of the gift tax?) on gifts in excess of $16,000. Only gifts to qualifying charities are tax deductible.
Any whistleblower reporting a tax-evader (thief) is rewarded with 15-30% of the money the government recovers.
BM, this is just more evidence that you make things up as you go along, or, that you evade paying your fair share of taxes. No wonder you don’t want more IRS agents.
The unsupported accusations of BM and LGB, two hate filled “Christians,” are examples of the disinformation that is tearing this country apart. They just can’t face the fact that they elected a con-man, a traitor who panders to Putin, an insurrectionist, a misogynist to the highest office in the land and so they try to claim Biden is even worse but their arguments are lacking factual support, exaggerated, and irrational.
Raymond Harris thanks for showing support for our DEMOCRACY many tax scaflaws are obviously in an agitated state this morning upon learning the Pubs plans to repeal approved IRS funding will fail . Liars got to lie and they’ve started already!
-It was Biden’s own special counsel, Richard Sauber who discovered the documents.
-There were a small number of them.
-The documents were found in a locked closet in an office Biden used after leaving the vice-presidency, not unlocked drawers in a desk office at a resort frequented by numerous people as well as other locations.
-The National Archives and Records Administration took custody of the documents the next day with the cooperation of Biden’s attorneys.
-Biden’s “personal attorneys have cooperated with the Archives and the Department of Justice in a process to ensure that any Obama-Biden Administration records are appropriately in the possession of the Archives.”
There is no evidence of “mens rea,” the guilty mind necessary to a criminal charge in the Biden case. It was a mistake and it is being properly addressed. The fact that Trump instructed one of his attorneys, Christina Bobb, to lie and tell the National Archives that all the classified documents had been turned over, when they had not, proves “mens rea.” The unanswered question is “Why did Trump want those hundreds of documents?”
ALL information and the quote is from today’s DG p.A1 “Potentially…”
Of course the interpretation of the information is based on my opinions. The last paragraph contains accepted public information.
I am now waiting for BM to provide us with information on the various illegal schemes Biden is devising to stay in office in case he loses in 2024. Of course he will also provide us with information about Biden’s plans to incite insurrection if all else fails.
I’ll also wait for BM’s information on Biden extorting support from foreign leaders in his next campaign by threatening to withhold foreign aid if they refuse to dig up dirt on his opponent.
Perhaps BM can prove that Biden is collecting money from foreign dignitaries for lodging and food at his D.C. hotel and restaurant.
Enough
Raymond Harris, thank you for a spot on letter. The MAGA republicans are a pathetic lot.
Like I said, you would just minimize it, it doesn’t matter if there were one or 100. It doesn’t matter who found him. Let’s see if he gets the same treatment as Trump I doubt it. It’s gonna be awful hard to indict Trump when Biden did the same thing, what sweet irony.
The double standard is palpable, way to prove what you all are about.
Santo you neglected to say that the Secret Service was protecting Mar-a-Lago nobody was protecting that office.
Extreme liberal whack job Raymond Harris gives us this nugget of info. “How people can listen and believe these liars is also unbelievable.”
Raymond, I was just thinking that when I was reading your comment. You sound like Poppy Harlow’s drunk father ranting on a Friday night.
Little Stevie no name calling stomping your maryjanes is allowed but Ray wrote a great fact filled letter. Also we should all pay our taxes. Lie on dude bray on
Did Biden tell a lawyer to claim he had no further documents, when in fact, he did? People who evade their fair share of taxes by claiming deductions they are not entitled to move the burden of paying for governmental services, including national defense, to honest tax payers. They are not to be trusted as their cheating on taxes proves.
The Secret Service protects presidents and former presidents, not their offices or possessions and papers, legal or illegal.
Obviously if documents were ‘stolen’ for similar nefarious reasons as Damsel donnies recent heist by Biden an investigation should be started by DOJ thankfully Damsel donnies criminal case will have them well prepared to move quickly. The Damsel donnie crime is not related to Bidens error. But time and the courts will tell.liars gonna bray
A reminder about the extent of Trump’s mishandling and stealing of top secret governent documents: NPR 1/31/22:
“WASHINGTON — The Justice Department said Tuesday that classified documents were “likely concealed and removed” from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate as part of an effort to obstruct the federal investigation into the discovery of the government records.
The FBI also seized 33 boxes containing more than 100 classified records during its Aug. 8 search of Mar-a-Lago and found classified documents stashed in Trump’s office, according to a filing that lays out the most detailed chronology to date of months of strained interactions between Justice Department officials and Trump representatives over the discovery of government secrets.
The filing offers yet another indication of the sheer volume of classified records retrieved from Mar-a-Lago. It shows how investigators conducting a criminal probe have focused not just on why the records were improperly stored there, but also on the question of whether the Trump team intentionally misled them about the continued, and unlawful, presence of the top secret documents.”
The FBI acted on a tip from an informant. Could that informant have been a Secret Service Agent?:
HuffPost 1/11/22:
“An informant familiar with Mar-a-Lago and the whereabouts of classified documents former President Donald Trump potentially stored there tipped off the FBI before it executed a search warrant on Monday, according to reports from Newsweek and The Wall Street Journal.
The National Archives retrieved 15 boxes of documents from the Palm Beach, Florida, residence in February before asking the Justice Department to investigate Trump’s potential crimes in violating the Presidential Records Act by storing government materials at his home.”
Marincic: “…. On the day of this discovery, November 2, 2022, the White House Counsel’s Office notified the National Archives. The Archives took possession of the materials the following morning.”
“The discovery of these documents was made by the President’s attorneys,” Sauber added. “The documents were not the subject of any previous request or inquiry by the Archives. Since that discovery, the President’s personal attorneys have cooperated with the Archives and the Department of Justice in a process to ensure that any Obama-Biden Administration records are appropriately in the possession of the Archives.”
Do you see the difference? There was no lying, no concealing, no effort to trade one set of documents for another.
FACTS are pesky things that get in the way of your need for what aboutisms.
Hooligans, they use this tactic over and over again, in effect, saying a kid who steals a candy bar is no different from an armed robber. They are both thieves, right?
They will do absolutely anything to protect their hero in his attempts become dictator of a White Supremacist “Christian” Amerika.

By the way, have you seen the new IRS rules when it comes to paying apps like Paypal, Cash App, and Venmo? They must now keep tabs on everyone’s account and send the information to the IRS, the IRS says even if you are giving a family member money it must be reported by the family member. So when I send $1000 to my daughter for Christmas for them and the kids she now has to report it as a gift. And so I don’t get taxed on it I have to prove it went to a family member as a gift otherwise the tax has to be paid. Does that sound like they are going after people that make more than $400,000 a year?
WHAT IS YOUR POINT?????
You can legally give away $12.92 million dollars in you life time with ZERO tax penalties to anyone. 17k to anyone, including your daughter, per year, and the free gift, or inheritance cap remains at 12.92 million. If you give your daughter more than 17k in a year, that amount gets subtracted from the $12.92 m. lifetime total.
It doesn’t matter if Paypal, Cash App, Venmo, or Jesus Christ himself reports it to the IRS, there is still ZERO tax liability on the gift. Period!
So again I ask, WHAT WAS YOUR POINT???..
Are you illegally claiming the money you give your daughter as a tax deduction when filing to the IRS?

The double standard is palpable, way to prove what you all are about.
Question regarding double standard being palpable Mr. hypocrite; Have you once call Trump out for the 15 plus boxes of documents that he illegally had possession of, while denying having them, some of which were the most highly classified? No, because it’s you that are the Hypocrite!
Exactly Tony:
There are lies; Mommy, I really didn’t give Rover the peas on my plate. And then there are lies; I swear to God your honor, I didn’t kill Jane Doe.
There are crimes; Walking out of a restaurant without paying for the meal. And then there are crimes; Selling highly classified security secrets to our enemies.
The MAGAites fail to recognize the extent of the differences in the extreme crimes committed and lies told by the republicans, compared to those of the democrats

Santo you neglected to say that the Secret Service was protecting Mar-a-Lago nobody was protecting that office.
With all the parties and comings and going‘s at Mar-a-Lago my chicken coop has better security….
A Chinese businesswoman convicted of trespassing at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort while carrying a bag full of electronics is sentenced to eight months in jail.
Yujing Zhang, a 33-year-old Shanghai business consultant, was arrested on March 30 and charged with unlawfully entering Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club and lying to federal agents.
Breaking news: CNN will be televising the DOJ raid into Jill Biden’s underwear drawer at 1 p.m. More details to come…..
Well you lefties minimize it and make jokes just like the main stream media does it tells how much you take your party over your country, it shouldn’t matter who had them, it was wrong for Trump even though they were being protected by the Secret Service and it’s wrong for Biden. They were found in a closet at a think tank at Penn State University, the Chinese communist party through anonymous donors gave Penn State more than $50 million. The question should be why were they at that think tank if they’re classified documents that only the highest security levels can see. Was is a quid pro quo for a hunter Biden for the Chinese to keep their mouth shut, who was able to look at them? We don’t know, but we do know that the Biden family is in bed with China. So you keep minimizing this because I feel this is 100 times worse than what Trump did because the Secret Service is only there when Biden is there who else had access to that office to that closet and it doesn’t matter that his attorney found them and contacted the archives, I’m pretty sure Biden isn’t telling his attorney that he’s in bed with Ji Jinping. Keep making excuses like I said in the beginning this shows exactly what type of people you are.

Little Stevies now after Jill Bidens undies first hunter now Jill strange dude.but of course still axliar
Do you know Lou we all wish that you never learned to copy and paste because other than insults that’s all you’re good for. Do you ever have something to say that comes out of your own mind that’s not copy and pasted,, you know, a single thought of your own?
Isn’t there a bible verse you could quote so you don’t have to think about what to say?
Love reading the extreme liberal snowflakes defending Biden and minimizing the classified docs find. I’ve never seen a more predictable bunch of angry older men in my life. I am curious to know why a VP had classified docs outside of the Intel communities hands. Unlike Trump, VP Biden had no declassification powers. How were these docs unaccounted for 7 years? Are their more docs out there? I’ll anxiously await the raid on the Biden’s homes to make sure they’ve found all the goods. Maybe then we’ll get the whole story. Merrick?
Trump has no “declassification powers” on his own, without review and consent from the classifying party. 400+ classified documents found (so far) and not one properly declassified.
Joe Biden and his people have given no indication they’re hiding anything, nor evading or obstructing investigation. And they’ve willingly been under investigation since the document hand-over which, by Department of Justice policy, must remain secret so as not to jeopordize that investigation.
Please try to educate yourself before removing all doubt of your ignorance.
An undie fetish a tax scofflaw letting the insults fly early and often huh Big BM? Dont be confused Big BM its not Hunter Biden
“Substitution, mass confusion. Clouds inside your head.” Right Christophe?
little Stevie why Jill’s undies just curious where that came from its real strange even for you?
Definitely strange and more than a little creepy. but I guess to each his own. lie on dude just try to stay out of other peoples under wear drawers
Yeah Garrett, I can understand why the FBI was rummaging through Melania’s underwear drawer, but who in the hell would want to go in Jill Biden’s underwear drawer, even at her prime? Or you can figure it all out Garrett why vice president had top-secret documents in a closet in an office at a college that collected $50 million from an anonymous Chinese person who happens to be connected to the communist government of China.
Sorry Big BM I dont do chats about other peoples underwear drawers you two creepy dudes keep that sharing among yourselves. lie on donkey boys you’re getting real creepy early today
Also, Garrett, the way you are all blowing this off and making jokes and acting like we are the stupid ones it’s you that are the stupid ones trying to defend it. Everybody sees what you’re doing. Everybody knows you’re full of crap, just go back to anonymousVille and tell everyone what a great patriot you are, that you can insult like the best of them.
calm yourself Billy or pretty soon people might start calling you chicken little
Wow! With all the screaming and yelling and social media ranting coming from the Biden people, you just KNOW he was up to something bad!
Oh wait…there is none.
No claims of “invasions” or “raids”, or insane claims of FBI planting evidence. Just the acknowledgement that the DoJ is investigating, and has been since the documents were discovered and immediately handed over. And it’s safe to assume that since Biden’s council turned over the documents, that they’re probably cooperating.
Meanwhile on the Good (but sinking) Ship Republican, it’s all out, full on distracting from their own leader’s transgressions and faux pas as he continues to wear his indignation on his forehead. Little do they know that as they shriek, “Ramming speed!” on their mission to “investigate the investigations”, they’ve forgotten to pull up anchor. Again.
Sad.
its a disaster a disaster I tell you!!!!!! a disaster with a pair of underwear? the Chinese the Hunters the the the….. blah blah blah yep… bray on boys facts are facts

Two people brought that point up to you today and you still have not responded.
“you know, a single thought of your own?” Yes, I think you are an i’ll-informed, white supremest racist that is a part of the destructive force that is attempting to ruin America.
I THINK this guy needs meds stat: “I think you are an i’ll-informed, white supremest racist that is a part of the destructive force that is attempting to ruin America.”
The anger in that statement is unreal. Someone’s going to burst a vessel.
Mr. Bill 🤡 we are not acting like you are stupid ……It’s no act ….you are stupid…..Your false equivalencies are hilarious …….I really didn’t expect less of you all. As you will always remain stupid for Trump
Steve, you’re confusing the words, anger and truth.
I will now provide more evidence that BM is so misogynistic that he posts evidence of his low opinion of women without realizing how obvious his male chauvinism is.
BM: “Yeah Garrett, I can understand why the FBI was rummaging through Melania’s underwear drawer, but who in the hell would want to go in Jill Biden’s underwear drawer, even at her prime?”
Do you get it BM? The primary value of women, if not the only value, to you, is in their sex appeal, their appearance. What a shallow man.
On the latest all out attack on Biden for a similar but far less serious issue concerning classified documents than the Trump document case, have you heard Biden once call the pending DOJ investigation a “witch hunt?” Did he once cry like a baby about the FBI being out to “get him?” Or, has he been cooperating with the investigation?
Steve, you are the third angriest poster on this site, following BM and LGB. You are also prejudiced against old people. I’ll bet you are really frightened about getting old; I would guess you are rapidly approaching old age. It seems most on this site have presented themselves as older Americans, if they mentioned their age at all. But only you, Steve, are obsessed with it.
Any of our fine right-wing friends care to explain this:
~~~~~~~~~~
The Respect for Child Survivors Act, a law that would aid victims of child sex abuse and their families, just passed the House in a 385-28 vote. The bill would require the FBI to form multi-disciplinary teams to aid sex abuse victims and their families in order to prevent re-traumatization from investigation and any cases from being dropped. These teams would include “investigative personnel, mental health professionals, medical personnel, family advocacy workers, child advocacy workers, and prosecutors,”
Introduced by two Republicans and two Democrats:
U.S. Senators
John Cornyn (R-TX)
Chris Coons (D-DE)
Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)
“I applaud Senator Cornyn’s leadership on this issue to correct an egregious wrong committed by certain FBI agents regarding their treatment of victims of sexual abuse,” said Sen. Graham. “Requiring the FBI to use appropriate, tried and true methods to interview child victims will help ensure the FBI’s failure in the Nassar case doesn’t happen again. This legislation will make it clear that we expect better.”
All 28 votes against the bill came from Republicans:
Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar (Ariz.)
Dan Bishop and Virginia Foxx (NC)
Lauren Boebert (Colo.)
Mo Brooks and Barry Moore (Ala.)
Louie Gohmert, Ronny Jackson, Troy Nehls, Chip Roy, and Michael Cloud (Texas)
Andrew Clyde, Jody Hice, Austin Scott, and Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.)
James Comer and Thomas Massie (Ky.)
Rick Crawford (Ark.)
Byron Donalds and John Rutherford (Fla.)
Bob Good (Va.)
Clay Higgins (La.)
Tom McClintock (Calif.)
Ralph Norman (SC)
Scott Perry (Pa.)
Matt Rosendale (Mont.)
Jeff Van Drew (NJ)
Lou, Im not confusing anything. Just read it.
ChuckD, I am trying to determine what the most common characteristic is among MAGA leaders and their “flocks.” You provide strong evidence in favor of “phoniness.” Certainly it is not their worst fault but all of them seem to be phonies. They are often racists, misogynists, uninformed, liars, cultists, self-centered and greedy, but always phonies.
Elected members of Congress with nothing hide don’t do what is described below. Explain this when you finish explaining their failure to support “The Respect for Child Survivors Act” Chuck describes:
The Insider 1/10/23
“The House of Representatives Monday passed a new set of rules to govern the chamber that will severely weaken the ability of the Office of Congressional Ethics to investigate members of Congress over suspicion of wrongdoing.
“I think it’s fantastic,” Republican Rep. George Santos of New York said of the rules package, which passed by a 220-213 margin, in a brief interview with Insider Monday at the Capitol.
Santos is under investigation in multiple countries, and faces at least two Office of Congressional Ethics complaints related to his financial disclosures.”
Steve, why don’t you tackle these two issues. Post something of substance for a change.
I already told you that I think George Santos is a lying piece of crap and needs to be removed asap. He’s told big big lies, not little political lies. How can he be trusted for anything? His party affiliation is irrelevant, he himself told these lies.
Go on…why would Republicans weaken the Office of Congressional Ethics?
I have no clue, you’d have to ask them. Why do dems………………. we can play this game all day long.
That could be the smartest comment you’ve ever made here.
Im good for one every now and then.
I know you read it Lou but you continue to harp on the same old crap even though you’ve been proven wrong, by continuing to harp on this and continuing to post copy and paste of things I said does that make you right in the wrong. Here I’ll post this for you again.
No, not all payment app transactions over $600 need to be reported to the IRS. Income is required to be reported, “but you might have to prove a transaction was not income if you receive a 1099-K form”. I’d put in the quotes for you Lou and this is exactly what I was saying yesterday if the IRS screws up that that we’ve ever seen the federal government screwup it is up to you to prove it. And it must be aimed at most Democrats because Republicans work for a living and don’t have time to do the garbage. I won’t repeat it again because you’re too ignorant to figure it out Lou.
As far as Santo and me being misogynistic please stop you’re as bad as Lou, you know exactly what I said.
Fox News:
House Republicans to vote on bill abolishing IRS, eliminating income tax.
Things may be looking up for Big BM.
nothing new on Jill Biden boys keep lying.
Mr Restifo the accuracy of your posts is really getting under the herds skin.
For this we need thoughts from our resident Republican party defenders and believers. After gutting IRS funding, Ethics Rules so Santos can remain, etc this is apparently on the Republican do do list before immigration or inflation,that most campaigned on..
” Paul Gosar… tweeted on Saturday that Republicans “will conduct a real investigation into J6. The effort to attempt a coup between traitor Gen. Mark Milley and [Nancy] Pelosi will be reviewed and exposed.” This, apparently, is a reference to when Pelosi, as speaker, called Milley, the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, two days after January 6 because she was concerned that Trump might try to start a war as a diversion from his election loss. (She wasn’t alone: Trump’s secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, among others, reportedly had the same concern.
“We all know that Trump is a liar and a thief…We don’t think Biden is a liar and a thief, so we give him the benefit of the doubt.” – Joy Behar
She should comment in this forum, her views sound exactly like the whacked liberals in here.

“I know you read it Lou but you continue to harp on the same old crap even though you’ve been proven wrong,”
No, you imbecile I have not been proven wrong.
Following your irrelevant logic, 2 plus 2 equals 4 so now I’ve proven myself correct for any further discussion between you and me.
The whole point is that you do not need to pay a gift tax if the money transaction you are making is legal, regardless if it’s to your daughter, or anyone else. Period.
The IRS can and does audit any money transactions it so desires. It seems you obviously have a problem with that, and are upset that you may be tracked or forced to report a money app transfer. Why?
If a “criminal rapist, Mexicans drug dealer” was transferring $1,000 per hour via Pay pal to his “bad ombre” buddies, I guess you feel the IRS should let it slide.
“So when I send $1000 to my daughter for Christmas for them and the kids she now has to report it as a gift. And so I don’t get taxed on it I have to prove it went to a family member as a gift otherwise the tax has to be paid. Does that sound like they are going after people that make more than $400,000 a year?
BM posted the above.” Lou pointed out that gifts to children are not tax deductible to which BM responded, “I know you read it Lou but you continue to harp on the same old crap even though you’ve been proven wrong, by continuing to harp on this and continuing to post copy and paste of things I said does that make you right in the wrong. Here I’ll post this for you again.
No, not all payment app transactions over $600 need to be reported to the IRS. Income is required to be reported, “but you might have to prove a transaction was not income if you receive a 1099-K form”. I’d put in the quotes for you Lou and this is exactly what I was saying yesterday if the IRS screws up that that we’ve ever seen the federal government screwup it is up to you to prove it. And it must be aimed at most Democrats because Republicans work for a living and don’t have time to do the garbage. I won’t repeat it again because you’re too ignorant to figure it out Lou.”
How is the response related to BM’s mistaken belief that $1000 gifts to children are tax deductible?
And yet another BM failed attempt at avoiding the real issue. I will repeat his post followed by
my response:
BM: “Yeah Garrett, I can understand why the FBI was rummaging through Melania’s underwear drawer, but who in the hell would want to go in Jill Biden’s underwear drawer, even at her prime?”
My response: I will now provide more evidence that BM is so misogynistic that he posts evidence of his low opinion of women without realizing how obvious his male chauvinism is.
Do you get it BM? The primary value of women, if not the only value, to you, is in their sex appeal, their appearance. What a shallow man.
BM, then posted: “As far as Santo and me being misogynistic please stop you’re as bad as Lou, you know exactly what I said.
I quoted exactly what you said and explained the obvious misogynistic content of your comment. Do you want to directly address this issue and your obvious erroneous belief that $1000 gifts to your children are tax deductible? Perhaps you would rather sit in a corner rocking and sucking your thumb. Everyone now knows you will not engage in a factual discussion if you know you will lose and that you make things up as you go along.
BM, I forgot, Thanks for including me in the same category with Lou. We certainly have the same opinion of you, as do, most others on this site and presumably any possible readers. Your attempts at evading direct answers are apparent to all.
No Lou you were wrong and you just don’t get it because you’re too old to understand; you have no idea what Venmo is or cash app do you? Anytime you send more than $600 or receive more than $600 you have to prove where it comes from, do you get it are you that dumb that you can’t get that part; it tells you right there. And it’s not just sending, I’ve helped some other family members out and let them borrow money and have gotten it back I sent it to them through Venmo because they’re out of town or out of state and I get it back through Venmo or PayPal so now I am responsible to prove what that money is for so are they, just admit you don’t have a clue and you don’t know what this is, do you get it now, Oh wait you’ll never get it.
Well Santo it was a running commentary that the FBI went through Melania‘s underwear drawer because of what she looks like so if you put it into context you idiot I’m comparing her to Jill Biden meaning that the FBI would not going through Jill Biden‘s drawers. You’re an idiot, but we already all knew that no that’s just what the lefties do they try to make something out of nothing. Keep it up BMDC‘s

WRONG ABOUT WHAT? You are truly delusional. Copy one thing that I said regarding this topic that I was wrong about.
BWT, I could be 150 years old, meaning dead, and I still be far more on the ball than you are.
BM, You were wrong in believing gifts to your children are tax deductible. Also, I have concluded that you suffer from narcissistic personality disorder. Therefore, you are incapable of admitting error but you are wrong anyway. You are like Trump, your hero, in that way.
You are also prejudiced against older people even though you are you are an old fool yourself.
Mr. Bill 🤡 has the need to be right no matter the cost. When he says something stupid and is proven wrong and is called out on it ……he thinks that doubling down on the stupid makes him right. It’s really ad to watch.
Big BM it is not appropriate to call a fellow poster an “idiot” do better you can lie pretty good but the insults dude
Christophe, I too am guilty of throwing out insults, specifically to Bill. I will not apologize because there is a clearly a difference. When Bill calls Tony an idiot, it’s an insult because Tony is obviously quite intelligent. When I call Bill an idiot, it’s a fact.
BM, You are like the Emperor With No Clothes, only you are unwilling to recognize that you have exposed yourself to the world. Put some clothes on; in other words, at least attempt to act like a reasonable, honest, human being. Ask your transsexual brother how to do this; he obviously came to grips with who he is and embraced his true identity. You should follow his example. Admit you’ve been an irrational opinionated ignoramus and repent, or, in secular terms, correct the error of your ways.
mr restifo I did not mean to offend in my case I call him a liar because it is a proven fact. mr Santo is obviously much more intelligent than big BM so my statement was true as well.
BM defending himself, “Well Santo it was a running commentary that the FBI went through Melania‘s underwear drawer because of what she looks like so if you put it into context you idiot I’m comparing her to Jill Biden meaning that the FBI would not going through Jill Biden‘s drawers. You’re an idiot, but we already all knew that no that’s just what the lefties do they try to make something out of nothing. Keep it up BMDC‘s.
BM’s actual incriminating statement, “who in the hell would want to go in Jill Biden’s underwear drawer, even at her prime?”
Is it safe to assume you would like to go through Melania’s underwear drawer but would be repulsed at the thought of going through Jill Biden’s undies? That makes you a misogynist, a person who sees women only in terms of sex appeal. You, BM, are an insult to the god you think created you.
chris, we’re good, I’m not at all offended. I just wanted to acknowledge that I too can throw out the insults, even though that’s quite obvious.
Hey Santo when did I ever say gift to family members are tax deductible no, they are to appoint and Christmas gifts as far as I know or not text at least not yet by the Democrats.
Hey Santo when did I ever say gift to family members are tax deductible no, they are to appoint and Christmas gifts as far as I know or not text at least not yet by the Democrats.
No low when I call you an idiot it’s totally 100% true and you could be 30 or 40 years old and you still be an idiot.
Misogynistic men, like BM, suffer from a severe sense of inferiority. To compensate for their sense of inadequacy they objectify women, see women as of value only in sexual terms, and view them as inherently of less worth than “masculine” men.
BM further states, “…that’s just what the lefties do they try to make something out of nothing. Keep it up BMDC‘s…” The harm bigoted jerks like you have done to women throughout history is not “nothing.” REPENT! Donkeys and mice, even blind ones, are worth more than you. You are worse than blind, you are mindless, incapable of rational thought, a self-centered, self-righteous pitiful ASS.
BM: “when I send $1000 to my daughter for Christmas for them and the kids she now has to report it as a gift. And so I don’t get taxed on it I have to prove it went to a family member as a gift otherwise the tax has to be paid.”
That means you think a gift to your daughter is tax-deductible. How incredibly stupid and/or evasive can you be? Or do you think those reading your posts are too dumb to see through your BS? PATHETIC BM, pray for recovery.
BM: “they are to appoint and Christmas gifts as far as I know or not text at least not yet by the Democrats.”
Please translate that comment into English.
Talk to text Santo let me straighten it out for you, I said you can still send Christmas gifts and they’re not taxed as of yet by the Democrats. Oh and you are pretty much as dumb as Lou is because I posted the article about the law stating anytime someone receives more than $600 through a payment app they will get a 1099K and have to prove where the money came from. Christmas gifts as of yet are not taxed. But that doesn’t matter if you get a 1099K you have to prove where that money went so my daughter would have to make sure she had the receipts for the money.
Mr Bill 🤡 talk to text again ! ….Use I got hacked next time !
Post: BM: “when I send $1000 to my daughter for Christmas for them and the kids she now has to report it as a gift. And so I don’t get taxed on it I have to prove it went to a family member as a gift otherwise the tax has to be paid.”

“Talk to text Santo let me straighten it out for you, I said you can still send Christmas gifts and they’re not taxed as of yet by the Democrats.”
Need I say more? I am done with this matter. I will ignore any further incoherent, angry posts from BM on this topic, as it is obvious he is a seriously troubled man, a man who has lost his way, a man sucked into self-contradiction by his own web of lies.
Again, gifts to children are not tax deductible as BM clearly implies. And, “The person who receives your gift does not have to report the gift to the IRS or pay gift or income tax on its value.”
IRS TAX TIP 2001-31 GIFT GIVING
Go ahead BM, carry on. I rest my case.
See I knew you were dumb, a Christmas gift is not taxed, the $1000 sent through Cashapp is. You were a teacher Santo? Obviously not a very good one.
