Thursday, April 10th, 2014

Obama CryingWah, Wah, Wah…

(BizPac Review) Atty General Eric Holder claimed on Wednesday, that he and Obama are ‘victims’ of “unprecedented, unwarranted, ugly and divisive adversity” from critics, while speaking at the Natl Action Network (founded by Rev Al Sharpton) annual convention in New York.

Obama has been elected twice and Eric Holder, has continuously been Atty General throughout the Obama Administration, neither are hardly victims of anything except maybe themselves?

Its about time that Holder stop playing a ‘victim’ of one thing or another and to start wearing some big boy pants.

Lois Lerner While at IRS, Solicited Job at Offshoot of ‘Team Obama’ Political Organization OFA Potentially in Violation of the “Hatch Act”

Wednesday, April 9th, 2014

Lois Lerner email

(WSJ) Former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner, accused of corrupt activities by the ‘House Ways & Means Committee’ for targeting Tea Party & Conservatives groups, appeared to show no particular interest in cracking down on liberal groups seeking to operate as 501(c)(4) organizations or her own potential violations of the Hatch Act which among other things, prohibits federal employees from engaging in partisan political activity on government time.

While still employed at the IRS, Ms Lerner, sent a colleague an email during business hours, soliciting employment for herself at the Washington, DC office of an offshoot of ‘Team Obama’s–OFA’ a 501(c)(4) tax exempt organization mobilized of Obama supporters, first organized in 2009 as ‘Organizing for America’ (it changed its name in 2013 to Organizing for Action) to continue championing the Obama Administration’s legislative agenda.

In February, on Super Bowl Sunday during an interview with FOX News Bill O’Reilly, President Obama claimed that  Congress has investigated the IRS controversies and didn’t find any evidence of illegal activity, adding that there is “not even a smidgen of corruption,” in the IRS.

(Press TV) Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi who is also the fascist regime’s top nuclear negotiator said yesterday at the end of the first day of the fresh round of nuclear talks with the P5+1 group:

“We will never negotiate about the country’s ballistic missiles and defense system and will not put them to debate,”

The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday the (naive and hopeless, I digress) Obama Administration says that its convinced it can conclude an agreement to limit Iran’s nuclear program by the 20 July target date saying:

“I’m absolutely convinced that we can (meet the deadline) though the real issue is–about the choices that Iran has to make and some of them are very difficult,” said a Senior U.S. official involved in the nuclear negotiations with Iran. “We are on pace with that work plan, looking toward beginning drafting in May.”

The Obama Administration will begin dismantling what remains of our second strike nuclear capability at sea and in the air, a crucial part of our deterrence according to the Wall Street Journal yesterday.

Obama: “Not Even a Smidgen of Corruption” at the IRS; Dallas IRS Office Plastered With ‘Team Obama’ Buttons & Screensavers

(Washington Times) As the IRS faces growing heat over Lois Lerner’s alleged corrupt activities and targeting of Tea Party and Conservative groups, a government watchdog said today, that its pursuing cases against three IRS employees and offices suspected of illegal political activity in support of President Obama and Democrats.

In one case, the ‘Office of Special Counsel’ which investigates federal employees who engage in political activity on government time said that it was “commonplace” in a Dallas IRS office for employees to have pro-Obama screensavers on their computers and to have campaign style buttons and stickers in their office.

In another case, a worker at the tax agency customer help line urged taxpayers “to reelect Obama in 2012 by repeatedly reciting a chant based on the spelling of his last name,” the Office of Special Counsel said in a statement.

Another IRS employee in Kentucky has agreed to serve a 14 day suspension for basting Republicans in a conversation with a taxpayer.

On Super Bowl Sunday, President Obama told FOX News Bill O’Reilly that there is “not even a smidgen of corruption” at the IRS.

Franklin Regional High SchoolFranklin Regional H.S. Anti-Bullying ‘Safe School’ Policy

(CNN) At least 20 people were injured by a knife wielding assailant this morning at ‘Gun Free Zone’ Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville, Pennsylvania.

The stabbings occurred in a classroom and a hallway, at least seven students are being treated for life threatening injuries and two of the victims were sent to surgery almost immediately upon arrival at Forbes Regional hospital.

How is that politically correct ‘Gun Free/Anti-Bullying’ safe school policy working out that effectively disarms potential victims and not the criminal assailant?

Obama’s Watch: Consumer Spending Stalls in March, No Year-to-Year Growth

Tuesday, April 8th, 2014

Gallup

(Gallup) The amount Americans reported spending each day in March averaged $87 for the month, identical to February.

Although government figures show that total retail sales, excluding motor vehicles rebounded in February after January’s anemic sales, year-over-year sales were up only 1.6% in January and 1.3% in February, the weakest retail growth figures since November, 2009

On the 04 April, I wrote here that the number of Women unemployed climbed 180,000 in March, which evidences a weakening economy, even though the Obama Administration claims according to Bloomberg Businessweek that the economy is ‘on track to strengthen’ and add more jobs in the next two years.

In February, Zero Hedge reported that the U.S. Labor participation rate fell to a 35 year low. So much for the Obama Administration’s forecast this year and next of a robust, job producing economy.

(CNS) A 75 year old Dutch Jesuit who refused to leave war torn Syria, instead staying in the Old City of Homs to help the poor and homeless was beaten by armed men and martyred for Jesus Christ today.

Father Van Der Lugt who would have turned 76 on Thursday, 10 April had been living in Syria since 1966 after a brief period spent in Lebanon–he was also a Psychotherapist. In the 1980s he opened “Al Ard” a spiritual center built outside the city which housed about 40 children with developmental disabilities from nearby villages.

On the 01 July, I wrote here that Islamic Jihad Terrorist Thugs beheaded Syrian Catholic Priest Father Francois Murad  and his assistant with a small combat knife, echoing previous beheadings by Islamic Terrorists, the head was held up to the cheers of onlookers and then placed next to the body.

In August, Reuters reported that Al-Qaeda terrorists murdered Italian Jesuit Priest Fr Paolo Dall’Oglio in Syria.

President Obama: Why Do Men Earn More Than Women in Your Administration?

(NY Times) President Obama on Tuesday, will call attention to what he has said is an “embarrassment” in America, that Women earn only .77 cents for every dollar a Man earns.

Critics of the Obama Administration are eager to turn the tables on the president arguing that Obama is a hypocrite and has been paying Women less than Men in his own administration–numbers don’t lie.

On the 21 March, I wrote here that the Obama Administration has paid Women less than Men in 2011 2012 and 2013

President Obama and his Democrat allies are doing everything they can do to portray Republicans as insensitive to the concerns of Women in the hopes of capitalizing on this work/wage issue but refuse to explain, why do Women earn less than Men in the Obama Administration?

Inquiring minds want to know and are still waiting on an adequate response from the White House.
