Hunter Biden’s ‘Fair’ Tax Share - WSJ Opinion

The IRS team recommended that Hunter be prosecuted on felony charges of tax evasion for 2014 and false tax filings and a misdemeanor charge for 2015 of failure to pay tax. Yet because the U.S. Attorney waited so long to make a prosecutorial decision, the six-year statute of limitations expired. Hunter thus won’t pay taxes on more than $400,000 in unreported income for these years.

Nice tax break there.

Also notable are Hunter’s filings in 2018 and 2019, for which the IRS team also recommended felony charges of tax evasion and false returns. The second whistleblower testified that Hunter underreported his income for 2018 by anywhere from $267,000 to $500,000—depending on how conservatively the IRS counted.

So, in a period of 5 years, he underreported between $667,000 to $900,000 in income. And that’s a misdemeanor?

Toyota’s ‘Prone-to-Tears President’ Taps the Brakes on EVs - WSJ

Toyoda’s perception of himself as facing off with disparaging elites mirrors how he talks today about the auto world’s transition to electric vehicles. In December, Toyoda said he was standing up for a “silent majority” in the auto industry that questions whether it is right to make EVs the sole option for car buyers.

This realistic pragmatism is the same spirit that makes Toyota vehicles so reliable. Do well, stretch your engineering, but never fly too close to the sun.

Why You Shouldn’t Always Tell Your Bank How Much You Make - WSJ

A higher credit limit is generally good for your credit score, since you will be using a smaller share of your available credit, he said. (That might not be ideal if you think a higher limit will tempt you to overspend.) Updating your income could lead to other perks, such as qualifying you for an upgraded card or a home-equity line of credit.

Cool perks, bro.

U.S. Offers India Drones, Jet Engines to Lure It From Russia - WSJ

“Ultimately, the question of where politics and the question of democratic institutions go in India is going to be determined within India by Indians,” Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, told reporters ahead of the visit. “It’s not going to be determined by the United States.”

Not exactly the “Saudi Approach.”

The IRS Makes Another House Call - WSJ Opinion

A Destructive Trump Indictment - WSJ Opinion

It was once unthinkable in America that the government’s awesome power of prosecution would be turned on a political opponent. That seal has now been broken. It didn’t need to be. However cavalier he was with classified files, Mr. Trump did not accept a bribe or betray secrets to Russia. The FBI recovered the missing documents when it raided Mar-a-Lago, so presumably there are no more secret attack plans for Mr. Trump to show off.
