THIS IS DISTURBING. We should expect this, with "progressives" in power, but at least we have warning that this kind of thing is going on.

Now obviously, the IRS already has TONS of shotguns. This just adds to their armories. However, this sort of thing MAY be going on much more than we realize, and they could easily add a few zeros.

I certainly wouldn't put it past them.

Just something to be aware of.

PLEASE PRAY FOR AMERICA, PRINCIPLED PATRIOTS!!
