I came across this is little story today, it's not breaking news. I suspect that a member of the housekeeping staff knows something about the bomb threat that required the sweep for weapons.
According to police in Secaucus, the bomb threat — which later was determined to be bogus — was called in to Hudson Regional Hospital on July 18. During a search, bomb detection dogs led investigators to an unlocked office closet containing dozens of firearms.
Among the weapons were 11 handguns and 27 rifles or shotguns, according to police. The closet also contained a .45 caliber semi-automatic rifle with a high-capacity magazine that was determined to be an assault rifle, and a 14-round high-capacity handgun magazine.
The arrested the guy the next day.
What the heck do you think this guy was doing? It sounds very ominous that he was keeping those weapons there.
I had a patient many years ago in NY who was one of the people trapped in his car with a broken back while the highway that had collapsed on him had to be removed for him to get rescued. And here is was at home in NY getting yet more surgery. The scared me enough to never live there:)
The I.R.S. has yet to complete those audits, it said, and the agency started auditing his filings covering his income while president only after he left office.
If these audits were of such importance and hadn't been completed, why do you suppose Mr. Biden didn't fire Mr. Rettig and appoint a commissioner that would perform the duties of the office?
And, should we expect Mr. Biden to release his tax returns, along with the results of the required audits, to verify that he has filed his return, the required IRS audit has been completed, and that there are no financial irregularities or conflicts of interest?

Biden has routinely released his tax returns, including 2021, but I really don't know if he was audited as required. So that might be a fair question but it seems a deflection of the issue at hand. It might still be broke, but it broke under Trump. Why?

The disclosure of routine audits of Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden during their time in office suggested that the agency’s treatment of Mr. Trump was an aberration.

I'm guessing that Biden didn't know that the Trump appointee hadn't been doing his job.
It's kind of interesting to me that after years of Trump refusing to disclose his finances and lying over and over to the American people about this lack of transparency, that your immediate concern is whether Biden will be transparent. Do you suspect that Biden is lying about something in his finances or is not going to release his taxes in April 2023? If so, why?

Deflection? Perhaps. However, as @toomuchbaloney seemed to think it important that Mr. Trump's tax information be released to ensure there were no financial irregularities or cconflicts of Information I was curious if he felt Mr. Biden should do the same.

Biden released his taxes after he announced his candidacy and again after he was elected. Why are you asking if he should do something that he already did as an expectation? That seems odd.

Yes, it was. After rereading my posts, it is obvious they were pootly written, lacking in review of the question I asked, and, as @Tweety wrote, a deflection from the topic being discussed.
There is no requirement for a presidential candidate to release their tax returns. Voters knew that he had not released them, and he was elected.
There is no reason to release them to the public now, and it violates his privacy as a citizen. The Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee says they need to be available for "public inspection" as the audits weren't done. He also admits he doesn't know if they've always been done for past presidents.
This is obviously poltically motivated, and a terrible precedent. What's to keep them from doing this to any other private citizen they have a political beef with?
No, he was not a private citizen. He was a public servant.
So, you think a Congressional committee should be able to release tax records of public servants without their permission?
And, as a reminder, there is no requirement for a Presidential candidate or one in office to do so. So, your quibbling over "private citizen" is not of relevance.
No, he was not a private citizen. He was a public servant.
He didn’t say he was a private citizen. Should we also be able to get any public servant’s taxes? Why stop there shouldn’t we also be able to get any public servants medical records? We shall USD be able to see any public servants spouse and relatives tax records to ensure no improprieties are happening.

I agree with that. Biden is lucky if he knows what year it is.
