The Inflation Reduction Act says that the new investment in the IRS is not “intended to increase taxes on any taxpayer or small business with a taxable income below $400,000.”
Are there penalties for any member of IRS staff who breaches this intention?

Well, that’s cleared that up. Nothing for Joe the Plumber & Hank the trucker to worry about.
There are many fronts for extremist religious groups in America who would love to take up such a case, as part of their ongoing campaign to put abortion providers out of business.
How does “put abortion providers out of business” comapre to:
What you want is to criminalise offering medical assistance to pregnant mothers, to scare providers out of the profession.
When your wife was pregnant, did you look to an abortion provider to provide “medical support”? Most people would look to a gynecologist.
Incoming Queenslanders! Hun:
Get set for a whole lot of wet if you’re in Queensland this weekend.
Forecasters have said the Queensland coast could the “heaviest rain in years”.
“It’s going to be a very intense weekend of rain,” Sky News Weather meteorologist Alison Osborne said.
“January 2023 could shape up to be the wettest single month for pockets of the Queensland coast since February 2021.”
Some of that rain will make its way further south with Sydney, southern NSW and Victoria likely to see showers on Sunday.
But in the southern states, humid tropical warmth is on the cards with Saturday set to see “very extreme heat”.
Temperatures could be up to 15 degrees or more above average.
The moisture mayhem is set to be the most intense in a line from north of Cairns to south of Mackay. Although much of Queensland could be soggy to a lesser degree.
“This is due to a building rain and storm event which will focus over coastal and inland areas north of about Rockhampton right the way through and into next week,” Ms Osborne said.
An intensifying monsoon trough is likely to deliver a steady supply of moisture with persistent rain and, at points, intense downpours.
Over the next week, this coastal zone could see around 400mm of rain.
“In many areas, this will constitute a month’s worth of rain falling in just a week,” she said.
On Saturday, Townsville could register 100mm of rain – and not far off that on Sunday. And then there will be lesser – but still heavy rain – into the middle of next week. It will be sticky too, with the mercury reaching 28C most days.
Yet Brisbane will be spared the washout with barely any drops of rain at all over the weekend. Expect highs of 29C in the city and lows of 20C.
Meanwhile in the north, Darwin will remain mostly clear with highs of 33C and lows of 25C on Friday. A shower is possible on Saturday and then up to 20mm and a storm on Sunday.
So the rain will cause the wettest month in years apparently. Well at least they used plural form, since it will be since 2021.
This sort of comment from Monty makes it very easy to present a case that voting lefty is a mental illness.
My bad, it will be a month off 2 years.
But the hyperbowl from our moppets at the BOM remains
Anybody who can read a weather map could see this coming more than a week ago.
What took the BOM so long to notice?
Oh dear, Monty wants those babies to continue dying naked and cold in a kidney dish in the sluice room, denied even the comfort of being wrapped up and held in someone’s arms til they take their last breath.
Your inhumanity is fathomless.
This sort of comment from Monty makes it very easy to present a case that voting lefty is a mental illness.
He approves the murder of healthy babies. That is not medical support. No mental illness, just a complete absence of warmth and love, replaced instead by evil malice.
If only Monty had a pair of surgical scissors he’d put them out of their misery as quick as a Gosnell.
Got a big surprise when I saw Annaleise Nielsen on Sky last night. She seems to be a bit left of centre an struggles to hide her TDS but she’s also a very pretty young thing. Last night however she appeared with most of her hair gone; what I’d call a buzz-cut, and is looking very severe. I thought she might be making a bit of a statement.
Does anyone know if she bats for the other side? (Not that there’s anything wrong with that).
I note that m0nty=fa has still not mentioned the Biden classified documents matter. Compare this silence to his hysteria about the Mar a Lago raid.
Neither has he mentioned drag queens for some time, nor any of the other matters that have bothered him for short periods recently.
Clearly, he is unable to concentrate on any single issue, particularly when he is not doing well with convincing people with the leftard talking points.
While it will be warm in Sydney, the city seems unable to push over the 30C barrier. The NSW capital is set for a sunny weekend with highs of 28-29C and overnight lows of around 20C.
But storm clouds are brewing as you head west and south.
Canberra may see a storm come through on Friday, although the rain totals won’t be high. It will be dry for Saturday in the capital and then up to 8mm of rain expected on Sunday, mostly associated with another possible storm.
It will break 30C in Canberra, with maximums of 32C across the weekend.
Sky News Weather has forecast that later on Sunday, storms and rain could pass over parts of NSW including the Blue Mountains and the Ranges.
But it’s all about the heat for Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania with warm air from the Pilbara region of Western Australia, the country’s “heat engine,” funnelling that desert-scorched air to the southeast.
For all the old softies out there, sung by a man whose mother rejected abortion when told of his disability.
The world would be so much the poorer.
Monty, we require a talking point re the Biden document …er…. disbursement.
Just killed first snake of the season. A small red bellied black that was making its way towards the back porch. A no-no. In the paddocks – fine – but not in the house grounds.
Haven’t seen even one snake on the property in 12 months – testimony, I guess, to the cool seasons. This is the reason we have not renewed the snake netting in the house fencing. May have to reconsider.
“As that heat pulls over South Australia and into Victoria, it will be joined by very humid air off the northeast. This means it is going to feel rather tropical,” Ms Osborne said.
“Saturday is going to be the day of very extreme heat and elevated fire dangers particularly in South Australia.”
That extreme heat will be felt on Friday in Adelaide with a high of 37C and then it goes one better on Saturday at 38C. Thankfully a cool change should the come through with a 29C maximum on Sunday.
Minimums will be 23C on Saturday Sunday in Adelaide.
It all cranks up again from the start of next week, however, with a 39C high on Tuesday.
Over the coming days Melbourne will see heat too – but it won’t be as sustained.
A high of 26C on Friday rises to 35C on Saturday and then down to 22C on Sunday. Although looking further out, it could peak at 37C on a baking Tuesday.
Lows over the weekend will be in the high teens.
Weather
Head northeast and Sunday could see some rain in places like Wangaratta.
Hobart should reach 30C on Saturday as the same system from the mainland envelops much of the island. Friday will be 25C and cloudy and on Sunday it will cool down to 19C.
The seesawing of the mercury will be felt here too with a hot Tuesday peaking at 31C in the city.
Warm and sunny in Perth for the next few days. Temperatures will fall short of 30C on Friday, just by a smidgen, and then it’s 30-33C and mid-teen lows consistently each day for the next week with mostly clear blue skies.
So sounds just like a summer season then. FMD
This is another lie. Stop lying.
It’s not even a cyclone ffs. It might be one after Tuesday but it’ll be pissweak as it’s heading east according to the model.
I drove through Innisfail once and was amused that the white houses were green and mouldy on the outside. That’s what an average 140 inches per year of rainfall gets you.
John Fogarty, he was shafted by his brother and Stu Cook and Doug Clifford when the three of them folded to Saul Zaentz and agreed to sell the songs to Saul for a token payment. John like many others in his game had bad management and signed bad contracts, made other people wealthy while they struggled, anyone remember Badfinger?, much the same story. good on him for getting his work back.

Still nothing to say on the Biden classified document mishandling? Note that the mishandling occurred while Biden was VP, and, unlike Trump as President, Biden then had no authority at all to de-classify documents.
Note also that unlike at Mar a Lago, they were not properly secured, and the locations were not guarded by the Secret Service.

The two situations are hardly comparable. And anyway, according to the Trump Doctrine, Biden as president can magically mind-meld with the documents to declassify them retrospectively. Checkmate, wingnuts!

It’s ye olde Monsoon, something that used to visit these parts 4-6 times a year and push sometimes down to near Rockhampton. We haven’t seen even 4 a year in recent times. Apart from the floods a few years back but that was caused by a different system.
I am stocking up quietly as these events usually cut us off from the south for a week or more. I also am looking forward too it, 2-3″ overnight just the prelude. Tomorrow arvo to Sunday the real event apparently and the creeks all were flowing so will be some flooding.

It is good that we got you on the record denying being a rock spider. Nevertheless, your ongoing series of sly comments supporting the likes of Prince Andrew leave your character in some dodgy areas.

This is irredeemably stupid and a miserably pathetic attempt to avoid the obvious. If the injuries to the child were so severe that it was going to die, medical assistance would simply involve whatever could be given to comfort the child until it dies. That’s it.
BTW, that you have to hide your argument behind a purportedly sick child in the late second or third trimester shows how little confidence you have in your argument.
Not at all. NOW, NARAL, and other pro-abort groups opposed the bill back in the early 2000s, just go and listen or read extracts of the hearings. Charles Canady, the sponsor of the bill removed the enforcement mechanism in order to prevent any veto by then President Clinton if it passed when it was originally proposed in 2000, when the scandal of live births post-abortion first emerged. Nadler had to arm-wrestle the Dems to support it so they wouldn’t look like ghouls. As to the second purported ‘lie’, no, that isn’t the intention of the bill or its enforcement mechanism. The intention of the bill/ law is to two-fold. It’s to oblige medical practitioners to still provide medical care to the few though still significant number of children that survive an abortion in the hope that some of them may live as well as provide comfort to those in their last moments. And, secondly, to establish a premise re the child as a locus for the protection of the law that might seep backward and include the child in utero, when it dawns on those that think on the matter, that the location of the child makes no difference in respect of what is due to the child as a human being.
Dickless is pro abortion and letting live birth kiddies die because he has no dick and looks after the milko’s kiddies.

Were Biden’s lawyers cleared for the level of material (SCI) that they found? If, not, clearly it was improperly handled and stored.

The Archivist acknowledged that Trump’s lawyers were cooperating.

Bruce I am only an amatuer weather watcher but from what I know the early parts of Cyclone season usually send them all to the graveyard in the south pacific.
Steering winds are all westerly. Towards the later parts winds change to easterly and start steering them to the coast.
Otherwise we need an upper level ridge to form below the cyclones path once it has reached Cat 3, Yasi & Debbie followed the northern edge and made land fall in the two cyclone allys we have up here.
Monster is correct!
Biden as president can magically mind-meld with the documents to declassify them retrospectively. Checkmate, wingnuts!
Oops, nearly missed this bit of trash.
BIden took the documents while he was Vice-President. In that position, he was not able to perform the mind meld. Then he had them improperly stored for more than six long years. At a very minimum, assuming that he did the mind meld the day he was inaugurated, improperly stored for four long years. Careers have been destroyed for lesser offences.

There are well over 30,000 births in Western Australia every year. According to the aforementioned link, on average there is one (1) live birth from a failed abortion per year in the state. We are talking about extreme edge cases here, so the scenario of a terminally ill newborn is very much relevant. You are trying to pretend there is a large spate of such cases, but there really aren’t.
The 2002 law already does that. You may not like how it doesn’t include an oppressive legal regime of penalties and threats, but you are an extremist who does not hold power and in an enlightened society your views would not be coddled.
This is utter claptrap. You are trying to make the vagina a slippery slope, which is laughably ridiculous given how much women hate your views.

Work outside and had enough with dodgy BOM forecasts. So I started educating myself. Plenty of storm chaser websites out there and weather websites that you can freely access all the major models, GFS, EC, HWRF and even the BOM’s ACESS which actually isn’t too bad with CS Cyclones.
I still can’t get rid of a gut feeling the 400mm they are predicting will be an overstatement, the satellite chart the monsoon doesn’t look strong. I remember when it used to be a wall of cloud over the top end of the country sweeping south till a cyclone or 2 spins up and sucks all the convection away.
Flying into the north is awesome in one of these events, I remember a few flights cruising at 38,000ft and it was almost as if you could touch the tops of the clouds just below the aircraft. Then when we nosed over into decent between Bowen & Ayr a decent through an almost constant wall of cloud & turbulence till popping out the bottom in final approach to Garbutt. Been on a couple of Melbourne Cairns flights with similar experiences as well.

A little old lady went to the grocery store to buy cat food.
She picked up four cans and took them to the checkout counter. The girl at the cash register said “I’m sorry, but we cannot sell you cat food without proof that you have a cat. A lot of old people buy cat food to eat, and the management wants proof that you are buying the cat food for your cat”.
The little old lady went home, picked up her cat and brought it back to the store. They sold her the cat food.
The next day, she tried to buy two cans of dog food. Again, the cashier said “I’m sorry, but we cannot sell you dog food without proof that you have a dog. A lot of old people buy dog food to eat, but the management wants proof that you are buying the dog food for your dog”.
So she went home and brought in her dog. She then was able to buy the dog food.
The next day she brought in a box with a hole in the lid. The little old lady asked the cashier to stick her finger in the hole. The cashier said “No, you might have a snake in there”.
The little old lady assured her that there was nothing in the box that would harm her. So the cashier put her finger into the box and pulled it out. She said to the little old lady “That smells like shite!”
The little old lady said “It is. I want to buy three rolls of toilet paper”.

No, it doesn’t. It doesn’t include any penalties for failing to render medical assistance to the child so it can’t be said to oblige anything at all. If the Libs passed a workplace safety bill without any penalties for failing to take reasonable steps to ensure a safe workplace you wouldn’t for a moment argue that the inclusion of penalties was extremist, oppressive, and the like; if it’s right that an employer take reasonable steps to ensure a safe workplace, failing to do so should attract penalties.
And yet you couldn’t even land a blow on the argument. Even the opponents of the bill, then and now, recognized the problem of conceding the protection of the law to the child that survives an abortion could be extended to the child in utero, which is why they opposed the bill.

That extreme heat will be felt on Friday in Adelaide with a high of 37C.
That’s terrifying! South Australians should run around in circles in panic and throw virgins into a volcano.
I know our perception of things in our past can change over time, but as a born and bred Adelaidian, my recollection is that a temp of 37c is a doddle. Warm but hardly ‘extreme heat’. As a lad I recall temps of 38-40C being very common in the Adelaide summer. We only thought it was ‘getting hot’ from about 40C (104F)+. I’m sure I remember the occasional days of 41-42C (106-108F) when the north wind blew in. When that happened, everybody expected a fire in the hills.

I do not know what it is about the Fat Man and his lot, but the more they attempt to feign compassion and kindness and concern for those beneath them, the more theatrically ghoulish they appear.

Rubbish. This is as great a Furphy as the one about not finding snakes where there are Blue Tongue Lizards. Have seen both disproved in the flesh. Brown and Tiger snakes eat Black snakes and lizards.
Again, have seen it happen.
As a lad I recall temps of 38-40C being very common in the Adelaide summer.
I did a project where we flew in/out of a rural town in SA. It was good as it was a summer job during my usual Queensland hiatus. 38 deg was normal, when it got into the 40’s then the drill crew would cycle through the shade for a spell. Ground was very challenging there drilling through sands and clays at target seam so I had heaps of time to rest up in the shade of the car. I don’t recall it being difficult even when I had core runs on the table, dry heat. Just need to keep hydrated.
Same project 38 deg day I was on a Jetstar flight from Adelaide to Brisbane that the aircraft had a faulty APU that powers the aircraft when engines are shut down. Result no air con till we pushed back from the terminal. Now that was stuffy…
Oh yeah, I forgot the cigs. 🙂
Ok, I know that Dover doesn’t want people to discuss their personal wealth on the blog (and rightly so) but I ask that an exception be made. It looks as if I have won the jackpot of life having just received the following email:

How good it that!!!! $USD2.5 million. Woohoo. I’m in the money, I’m in the money…..
The only thing I don’t understand is why Warren Buffett would use a gmail account from namugambwinnie7. That seems a little odd but perhaps he is just trying to be incognito. Perhaps Mr Buffett can help me set up a CFD forex account so I can trade currencies?!

Lived experience has revealed that having pythons or any other non-poisonous snake in the shed, yard etc is no prophylactic against also having deadly poisonous snakes either co-existing or arriving.
Re Sancho’s comment that I should have kept the red bellied black instead of despatching him:
You are welcome to any of our snakes Sancho! I agree this variety is less of a worry than the Eastern Browns. But this fella was heading to under the house where husband was only a little while ago tracing a problem with our satellite wiring which had been chewed through by mice. Close proximity to venomous snakes is not our idea of fun.

Indeed. And I’ll bet you’ve had ample experience at well over 40C. I worked at the Superpit and at Prominent Hill and in both locations, after a few days of 45C+, 40C felt like a ‘cool change’. The key, as you say, is hydration.
Possibly the same person(s) who encouraged the anti-Indian comments of the past few days.
Keep in mind, the notorious Kermit Gosnell in Philly killed over a hundred children by inducing birth and then either snipping the infant’s neck or having his assistants do so over a decade or more. None of the federal charges he or they faced involved the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act. Not one, because why would you issue a charge that included no penalties? Just absurd.

That’s a feat only a select few have managed.
Poor red bellies, they’re harmless. Had them at the Cafe couple times. And a few green tree snakes. Not many snakes here but lots of blueys. I’ve relocated six or seven to dog-free zones this season so far.
This morning I got up and encountered a huntsman on the wall next to loo. Practiced I am! Got a large glass and a sheet of paper. Put the glass over the huntsman then slid the paper under the glass. Out to the front door to evict the spider into the wide world.
Years ago saw King Lear,1971, with Paul Schofield. Haven’t seen the latest with Anthony Hopkins yet. As good as Hopkins is I doubt will be as good.

Yeah, we did. We don’t know who did the actual hit and who ordered it yet though.
Nor do we know yet who arranged Epstein to not kill himself.
There’s a lot of stuff hidden in cupboards, filing cabinets and hard disks that is there to be found, if ever a clean administration gets in. I doubt that can happen now, all elections hitherto will be stolen.

This is all true.
Mum was having contractions, nurses chucked her on the gurney in the corridor as she wasnt considered far enough along yet. She was left in the tender care of Sister Babyslayer a nun/nurse of some sort.
As mums contractions got more frequent and painful she told Sister Babyslayer who responded by poking he each time she moaned and told her not to be so silly.
Eventually a wandering doctor heard mum moaning and complaining and thought hed better check mums dialation.
He went to jam his fingers in and was lucky I didnt bite them off, I was already crowning, and probably had been for an hour or more
Quick rush into the delivery room, one push & about 2L of blood later and the doc had a non-breathing purple bub.
Youve seen “the meaning of life” where they do the miracle of birth, the delivery is done and everyone runs out of the room with the baby leaving the mum alone.
Welcome to my mums world. She was left bleeding in the stirrups in an empty room for about 20 minutes, and didnt know if I was alive or dead for 1/2 an hour.
Mum was anemic and weak for days and Sister Babyslayer took over my care and wouldnt let mum have more than 5 minutes at a time with me.
How im not an only child i can only put down to dad really, really wanting more.

Poor old Richard Cranium, his attempts at insults are getting ever more pathetic. Sad, really, he had such a great future ahead of him as a taxidermist, destroyed by sniffing too much formaldehyde.
“I wonder what Lisa Marie would tell people today if she were still alive?”
Thank god I didn’t die on the can.
There’s nothing like seeing Shakespeare performed right in front of you. It’s mesmerising.
The year before my King Lear/scrumptious swoony Dalton experience, I went to the Sydney Theatre Company production of Macbeth, with John Bell as lead and Anna Volska as his missus with the Foul Spot. Marvellous stuff. It was “theatre in the round” and the newly built theatre still smelled of sawdust.
Most memorable experience post production…I trod in dog poo on the way back to the car. Horror! 😀
For sure. In the Pilbara some of the i/o pits regularly reach high 40’s and low 50’s. Stifling. Hydration is imperative but on those days I’m more concerned with heatstroke. Which can happen real quick.And that’s ambient. Working on a hot machine takes local temps higher.
Untrue.
Perhaps it’s a Queensland thing – and I’m being serious here -but the most disgusting perverts I, or my family, have encountered lived in rural Qld. These people pushed themselves as ‘solid citizens’ – one was a regular church goer- but away from the public eye they were evil predators*.
Careful, Sal. You lose what little remains of your credibility with glib statements like the above.
*Cue banjo music. It really was that bad.
I like to see adaptations of Shakespeare’s works and I’ve seen many, a master of the human condition. The language has changed, people haven’t. Many a time I’ve observed the characters in daily life. The greatest writer ever, incomparable.

Just wait until all those windmills start hitting maintenance and refurbishment intervals , mandated by the regulators and manufacturers. Then you’ll see what the real costs are.

Fact is it can & does happen anywhere. The larger the pool of humans, the more chance there’s depraved types.
Monty’s line that living “the sticks” = greater chance of incest/underage (or whatever he was banging on about) was plain stupid, bigoted, & brain dead.

So best man caught the monster using the Bruce Technique, then, with the girls dogging his footsteps, he carefully carried the glass outside to the garden and flicked that lucky huntsman onto the lawn… where a roving chicken spied him and pounced, gobbling him up in an instant.

Depraved types go where there’s opportunity. It might be in suburbia, it might be in a remote place, far from help.
In the end, it depends on the depravity and choice of prey.
