Biden Paid 4.1 Million More In Federal Taxes Than Trump Over 6 Years

The release comes after a controversial vote by the House Ways and Means Committee earlier this month, in which the committee voted to make Trump’s federal tax returns public. Trump refused to voluntarily release the federal returns during his campaign and his presidency, citing an ongoing Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audit. But the IRS didn’t audit Trump until 2019 when Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal, a Democrat, requested the returns....

Biden Returning Over 2B To Pentagon That Was Redirected To Build Border Wall

“Building a massive wall that spans the entire southern border and costs American taxpayers billions of dollars is not a serious policy solution or responsible use of federal funds,” the Office of Management and Budget said in a statement. The new plan does not cancel the project and likely will face opposition in Congress from Republicans eager to promote a plan similar to Trump’s.

Biden S Opportunity To Flip The Script On U.S. Decline Opinion

Way before the internet and reality TV, Soros theorized that we live between two realities: objective and subjective. Objective realities are true regardless of what people think or say. For example: Every human will die. Or, you have $3,457 in your bank account. Subjective realities, however, are shaped by what people think. What is important is that these beliefs shape objective reality. Financial markets fall into this category because participants can never know all relevant objective facts driving an interconnected global economy....

Biden S Rise Spooks Wall Street. But Its Donors Back Him Over Trump

Trump’s approval rating is now so bad, and Biden’s lead so strong, that Senate Republicans up for election this year are beginning to fear the president’s performance is a heavy weight on their own chances, and, if things get much worse, they may also lose control of the upper chamber. A quarterly Citigroup survey of 140 fund managers released last week found that 62 percent expect Biden to win in November, up from 70 percent anticipating a Trump victory back in December, a near-total reversal of views amid the coronavirus pandemic....

Biden Takes Sharp Aim At Trump S Failed Efforts To Undermine His Victory After Electoral Vote

Biden won 306 electoral votes, more than the 270 votes required to win the Electoral College. Trump has repeated baseless conspiracy theories that alleged widespread voter fraud.
