Other than Letters of Marque in the US Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 11: To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water”), I can’t remember the IRS putting out such a notice that if you take an enemy’s stuff off the battlefield, you don’t have to report it.

We have known for some time that the President of the United States is compromised. Because of financial dealings between the Biden Family and Ukraine, China, and Russia, Biden cannot represent this country in matters involving these countries.
One Minute Read: Putin Has More Control over the US Economy than Biden, and Democrats Can’t Stop It?

Democrats Have Decided to “McCarthy” the Entire Republican Party – Will It Work?

Looming Food Crisis? Stop Turning Corn into Ethanol and You Could Lower Gas Prices and Help Feed the World

Biden Can’t ‘Tap’ America’s Strategic Lithium Reserves …

If Leftists Are Serious About Canceling “Russians” When Does Vladimir Lenin Get The Boot?

We Cannot Lose Sight of the Ukrainian People
Three weeks ago, the people of Ukraine were going about their everyday lives. They went to school, worked, shopped, worshipped, and played. They lived in an independent country caught in the middle. They are not Europeans. They are not Russians.
You Want to Help Ukrainians? Actually, Thanks to Our Open Southern Border, You May Already Have!
Joe Biden’s “The Souther Door is Always Open” policy has attracted millions, not just from points south. Anyone can take a trip to Mexico and find their way into the US. The oppressed, refugees, drug Mules, sex traffickers, terrorists, spies, and Ukrainians.
