Ya think? US voters wary of new IRS agents - poll

IRS audit
Some 49% of American voters believe that the 87,000 new Internal Revenue Service agents to be hired by the administration of Joe Biden will target either the middle class or the president's political opponents, a poll has found. Democrats are more likely to believe that the agents will focus on the wealthy, as Biden has claimed.

Released on Tuesday, the Trafalgar Group poll found that 33% of voters said the agents would be hired to "audit middle class Americans and small businesses," 31% said that "wealthy Americans and large corporations" would be targeted, while 16% said that the true purpose of hiring so many new agents is to "target the political opponents of those in power."

Children's hospital CEO 'won't back down' on controversial transgender operations - leaked email

Amid a wave of condemnation, Boston Children's Hospital CEO Kevin Churchwell reportedly said on Monday that his institution would continue to provide "trusted care" to transgender children, according to emails obtained by activist Chris Elston. The hospital has been under fire for offering genital surgeries to minors.

In a letter to employees, published by Elston, Churchwell accused critics of "mislead[ing] the public about the high-quality and safe care we provide," adding that "we won't back down" on "our commitment to provide the best care for those who need it."

The care in this case refers to irreversible surgical procedures on minors, which the hospital has taken steps to cover up in recent weeks. While its YouTube page once featured dozens of videos of doctors discussing hysterectomies, breast removal, and penile reconstruction on children, this content has since been deleted.

Family-owned bakery falsely labeled racist by woke Ohio college gets win in Supreme Court appeal

Gibson's Bakery, a family-owned bakery that has operated in Oberlin, Ohio, since 1885, received a major win in its ongoing feud with Oberlin College, which encouraged and supported students and faculty falsely accusing the bakery of racism in 2016.

A jury had awarded the bakery $36 million in damages after Oberlin's sustained campaign against the shop, and the college fought the verdict with every tool at its disposal. The state Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to hear Oberlin's appeal, meaning the school will finally have to pay the bakery it has nearly put out of business.

"Truth Still Matters, David can still overcome Goliath. We and the Gibson family are gratified that all judges on the court of appeals and the majority of the Ohio Supreme Court recognized the rights of individuals rather than the bullying tactics of the big institutions," the Gibson family's attorneys told The Daily Wire in a statement.

A Saudi Arabian court has sentenced a woman to 45 years in prison for social media posts, a rights group said, in the latest example of a crackdown on women activists that followed a visit by U.S. President Joe Biden to the kingdom.

Nourah bint Saeed al-Qahtani was convicted "likely within last week" by the Saudi Specialized Criminal Court on charges of "using the internet to tear the (Saudi) social fabric" and "violating public order by using social media", Washington-based DAWN organisation said in a statement, citing court documents.

The Saudi government media office did not respond to a request for comment.

DAWN said little was known about Qahtani or what her social media posts said, and that it was continuing to investigate her case.

At least 30 were confirmed dead in Iraq Tuesday as fighting continues in Baghdad following the resignation of a top Shiite leader Monday.

Gun fire has continued to ring out in the nation's capital as leaders grapple with Iraq's greatest political crisis since the U.S. invasion in 2003.

Protests once again erupted in Iraq's Green Zone - the center of Iraqi government offices and foreign embassies - after Muqtada al-Sadr said he had had enough of politics and stepped down from his cleric role.

His resignation has sparked violent protests from his supporters who stormed the presidential palace Monday, just one month after they rushed the parliamentary building and held protests outside the Supreme Judicial Council demanding the dissolution of parliament and early elections.

The majority of Germans want the West to take concrete steps to initiate talks with Russia to end the Ukraine conflict, a recent survey has indicated.

Published on Wednesday, the poll commissioned by Germany's RTL/ntv-Trendbarometer was conducted from August 26 through August 29, with 1,011 people taking part.

According to the survey, some 77% of Germans believe that the West should make concrete efforts to try to launch negotiations with Russia, which could help bring an end to the conflict in Ukraine. Only 17% would oppose such talks. When asked whether it is the right thing for Western leaders to keep phoning Russian President Vladimir Putin, 87% of the respondents replied in the affirmative, with 11% against.

Comment: Of course most Germans would rather talk with Russia than freeze over US machinations in Ukraine.
