A | The IRS deleted a job listing seeking “new special agents” who are “willing to use deadly force, if necessary” from their website, following a fierce backlash on social media Wednesday–only to reupload it within a day with the offending portion removed.,The IRS has removed the line "Carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary" from their IRS Criminal Investigation Special Agent listing following the fiasco yesterday.Archived here: https://t.co/vBy6lB841RActive link: https://t.co/uvwbrAkIit pic.twitter.com/vNmcSXuD7w— Ford Fischer (@FordFischer) August 11, 2022,Per the now-updated page on the IRS website, “IRS Special Agents are considered the premier financial investigators for the Federal government.”,“Special Agents are duly sworn law enforcement officers who are trained to ‘follow the money,’” the listing says, warning that “no matter what the source, all income earned, both legal and illegal, has the potential of becoming involved in crimes which fall within the investigative jurisdiction of the IRS Criminal Investigation.”,The posting sparked a wave of condemnation from ordinary citizens and influential politicians alike, including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who took to Twitter to express his opposition to the proposed new IRS jobs:,“HELL NO. Every Republican should pledge we WILL NOT FUND these 87k armed new IRS agents who will target the American people.”,HELL NO.Every Republican should pledge we WILL NOT FUND these 87k armed new IRS agents who will target the American people. https://t.co/BmKZVjVdNx— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) August 10, 2022,Funding for the special agents in question is likely to be drawn from a huge budget boost the IRS anticipates, with Democrats in the House set to approve the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act.”,Along with around $430 billion the Biden administration says will address climate change and extend Affordable Care Act subsidies, the new spending bill promises to pump $80 billion into the IRS over the next ten years - more than doubling the size of the agency with over 87,000 new positions. According to the now-updated job listing, many of them will be armed; one of the “key requirements” is that applicants “be legally allowed to carry a firearm.”,The ad in question was first noticed by documentarian Ford Fischer, who pointed out in a subsequent post on Twitter that, by June, the criminal division of the IRS had spent more on ammunition in the previous three months than they typically spent in an entire year in the recent past.,Fischer told Sputnik News he finds it “fascinating” that “following the attention [he] brought to this job listing, the page went down for a while, and now with it back online, the ‘willingness to engage in deadly force' line has been removed.”,“The reality is that while perhaps finding some renewed relevance in today's news cycle about the IRS, this listing isn't particularly unusual,” Fischer notes. “The agency has been spending more than $600,000 annually on ammunition, which has been charted out for at least the past three administrations.”,“What's new is that while the left (to be clear, I mean real leftists - not Democrats) have been fairly adamant in their opposition to law enforcement at all levels, the Republicans seem to find opposition when the politics line up. For example, they currently are deeply critical of the FBI, and IRS.”,Opposition to the spending bill authorizing the IRS expansion has come almost entirely from the GOP. A recent analysis by House Republicans found that 60% of new audits expected to be unleashed by the doubling in IRS personnel will fall on those making $75,000 or less a year. But Democrats claim those making less than $400,000 will not be targeted by the new IRS agents.,The IRS reportedly did not respond to inquiries by Fox News or the National Review about its removal of the job posting.。 Sophie 编译 总理Christopher Luxon表示,澳大利亚是新西兰在世界上最亲密的朋友,他不介意澳大利亚将另一个国家作为最好的朋友。 新西兰的政客们感到很困惑,因为他们发现自己卷入了一场关于澳大利亚在世界上最亲密的朋友的争论。 Advertise with us 周一,澳大利亚贸易部长Don Farrell在回答塔斯马尼亚州参议员Claire Chandler的问题后,这个话题被搅得一团乱。Chandler声称,美国是澳大利亚“最值得信赖的国际伙伴”。 “我不确定美国是否是我们最信任的盟友。

B | ”Farrell参议员在参议院说。 “在整个历史上,我会说是新西兰。我认为我们最亲密的国际盟友是新西兰。” 在新西兰,人们的反应要么是对被提名感到高兴,要么是对这场辩论感到困惑。 外交部长Winston Peters在1月份与国防部长联合访问澳大利亚后,声称新西兰成为了澳大利亚政府优先考虑的国家。 “Judith Collins和我本人与我们在墨尔本的同行的会晤,对我们两国的关系产生了爆炸性的影响。”他笑着说,“这是毫无疑问的。我们正在取得一些非常快速的进展。

C | ” Collins说,澳大利亚是新西兰最好的朋友,“当然,已经很多年了。” 当被问及新西兰最好的朋友是谁时,Luxon毫不犹豫地回答说“是澳大利亚”,并希望两国的友谊能够更加牢固。 “我们希望加强与澳大利亚的交往。我们希望看到在安全、国防和情报方面有更多的合作。” “我们当然希望成为太平洋地区的好伙伴。” “重要的是,我们认为仍然有机会扩大和发展单一经济市场。” Luxon表示,如果澳大利亚将美国视为最值得信赖的合作伙伴,他不会感到被轻视。 “这不会让我感到惊讶。

D | 他们有着牢固的、长期的盟友关系,而我们的盟友关系,我们唯一的盟友是澳大利亚。” 澳大利亚与新西兰和美国都有国防协议,但惠灵顿只与堪培拉结盟了。

E | 虽然这让新西兰政客们很容易就能说出谁是最好的朋友,但澳大利亚人的选择却引发了争论。 Farrell参议员的回应激怒了以其外交事务发言人Simon Birmingham为首的反对党。

F | “Don Farrell的行为是对美国的侮辱,他应该为此道歉。”Birmingham对Sky News说。 相关阅读: 新西兰总理宣布:这周三首访这个国家…… 下周,澳大利亚总理将来访新西兰 注:本文为编译/原创,欢迎转发分享;但严禁复制等未经授权的非法使用。违反上述声明者,本网将追究其相关法律责任。使用授权请联系[email protected]。
