🚨 EXCLUSIVE 🚨
Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Tax Policy At The IRS Is A Radical Left Obama Donor Who Helped LGBTQ and HIV Positive Immigrants Get Assylum In The US
On Friday, after reviewing my report, President Trump withdrew the nomination of Donald Korb to serve as Chief Counsel of the Internal Revenue Service, one day before the Senate was scheduled to vote on cloture for a large package of administration appointees.
Korb’s history includes past political donations to Democratic candidates, praise for Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, and associations with figures opposed to Trump’s agenda.
Korb, a veteran tax attorney and former partner at Sullivan & Cromwell, was nominated in September.
While Korb’s nomination has been terminated, his sabotage of the Trump admin is still present within the IRS through Kevin Salinger, who currently serves as Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Tax Policy—a Senate-confirmed position he assumed earlier this year.
Kevin Salinger was the Acting Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy in the Treasury Department before he became the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy. As Deputy Assistant, he supervises all day to day work and approves or rejects all policy positions the IRS takes.
In his role, he supervises over 100 full time attorneys who are developing tax policy. These people set and implement the tax policy for the Trump Administration.
They are responsible for determining and approving all IRS and Treasury Department tax rulemaking, including Treasury Regulations. The IRS, with over 1,500 attorneys, cannot issue any tax rules without the Assistant Secretary or Deputy Assistant Secretary of Tax Policy approving them. These are among the most powerful and influential tax positions in the US Government. It is grossly irresponsibly to put a far-left radical and Obama-donor like Kevin Salinger in charge of it.
Salinger, who worked under Korb at Sullivan & Cromwell for more than a decade, was appointed with Korb’s recommendation, according to sources.
FEC records reveal Salinger made several contributions to Barack Obama’s presidential campaigns and none to Trump or other Republican candidates. Additional documentation indicates Salinger performed extensive pro bono work for “Immigration Equality”, a nonprofit that advocates for asylum protections for LGBTQ and HIV-positive immigrants, and served on the board of El Barrio Angels Inc., an organization that provides free immigration legal assistance in Los Angeles.
Immigration Equality’s public filings describe its mission as securing “safety and freedom for LGBTQ and HIV-positive immigrants” and supporting comprehensive immigration reform that includes pathways to citizenship—positions that conflict with the Trump administration’s stated goals of stricter enforcement and reduced legal and illegal immigration.

🚨🇺🇸 SIX WOMEN ARRAIGNED IN TEXAS SHOOTING OF ICE AGENTS
Six women were just arraigned in federal court for their alleged roles in the July 4 ambush shooting at the Prairieland ICE Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas.
Prosecutors say the women helped stage a fake vandalism call to lure officers into a trap, where an Alvarado cop was shot in the neck and correctional officers were sprayed with 20 to 30 rounds.
Investigators recovered AR-style rifles, radios, body armor, and a phone-signal jammer from the suspects’ vehicles.
According to the federal complaint, some wore black tactical gear and split off from a larger group that had launched fireworks and tagged property with graffiti.
If convicted, the women face federal charges including attempted murder, conspiracy, and firearms offenses.
Supporters claim they were attending a mostly peaceful protest and deny any conspiracy.

🚨🇺🇸SACRAMENTO SUSPECT LEFT A NOTE SAYING “YOU’RE NEXT” — PATEL, BONGINO, BONDI NAMED
Prosecutors say the left-wing suspect in the ABC Sacramento incident left a handwritten warning in his car naming Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, and AG Pam Bondi as targets.
The man, Anibal Hernandez Santana, was released then rearrested after the note was discovered during the investigation.
Prosecutors, Court filings:
"Do not support Patel, Bongino, & AG Pam Bondie. They’re next. — C.K. from above."
Authorities say the note also referenced Jeffrey Epstein and Charlie Kirk.
The case is now in prosecutors’ hands as investigators sort motive and timing.

🇺🇸FROM DIVORCE RING TO GLOW-UP BLING
A woman sent back her old anniversary ring after a messy divorce and asked for something way better.
The jeweler melted it down and used 18 karat gold to make a brand new ring with flowers and a butterfly.
The wings and petals are made of pink pear-shaped diamonds which is a serious flex for a breakup.
The butterfly probably means transformation or freedom and the whole vibe screams glow-up after heartbreak.
The final result is shiny, dramatic and definitely not something her ex is getting back.

There seem to be two local coyote packs, one on our ridge and one down in the valley. We’ve also seen big snakes, small scorpions, and every conceivable type of spider. The woods are never boring.
My car tag reads, “I’d rather be in the woods,” and that’s where we’ve spent the past week. Of course, we’ve had plenty of friends here on the mountain. We see deer daily, had a raccoon visit last night, and shared our campsite with beavers, bunnies and bats.

Ravens, let there be peace among us.
May we fly as one idea.

So that I may hear the voices
Of my ancestors telling me
That all the world is changing
And my fears will turn to leaves.

I have need of the sky, I have business with the grass; I will up and get me away where the hawk is wheeling Lone and high, And the slow clouds go by. I will get me away to the waters that glass The clouds as they pass. I will get me away to the woods.

@Tim_Walz I’m thinking of all the women in my life: I don’t want my daughters to be put at risk competing against biological males on women’s sports teams. I don’t want them exposed to gender-confused men in their bathrooms, or subjected to the harassment of criminal immigrants.
