RIP actor Treat Williams.

The Beatles sang about them a long time ago. Taxman.

A supercar owner was left embarrassed after asking to use a police officer’s phone to tax it – only to reveal he couldn’t afford it.

West Midlands Police officers stopped an orange Lamborghini Huracan Spyder in Birmingham on Saturday for having no road tax.

The driver of the car, which is worth £168,000, claimed his friend had taxed the vehicle – but this turned out to be untrue.

I think we should share this with everyone we know, especially Wokesters.

Listen sweetie, "I'm all out of give-a-ducks." Sucks to be you.

ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – A mother of two is without her car after a Missouri city towed it away from her driveway for having expired temporary tags.

Christina Reise lives in Calverton Park, located in St. Louis County, and feels like she’s losing everything.

“I just don’t know how they can come into my driveway and take my car,” Reise said.

Sister station KTVI uncovered an administrative search warrant signed by a Calverton Park judge on May 22. It allowed the city to tow and impound Reise’s car because her temporary tag expired two months prior.

Reise said she’s been saving up to pay the taxes.

“I’ve just been taking a little bit out of every paycheck and setting it aside — the taxes are close to two grand,” she said

I wonder if she was coddled growing up? Were her parents "friends" instead of parents?

Fox sure has a hard on for Tucker's new Twitter gig. Oh you better cease and desist Tucker or we will sick Paul Ryan on you.

FOX News Media has sent former FOX News Tonight host Tucker Carlson a "cease and desist" letter as he continues the launch of his new Twitter series, according his attorney, Harmeet K. Dhillon.

"My friend and client @TuckerCarlson will not be silenced — by the far left or by Fox News. Scoop: Fox sends Tucker Carlson cease-and-desist letter," Dhillon tweeted in response to Axios' initial report on the cease-and-desist letter.

Carlson's new, competing program, Tucker on Twitter, was reported to have drawn a combined 169 million views during its first two episodes. FOX News Media announced it and Carlson had "agreed to part ways," in a news release obtained by Mediaite.com on April 24.
