Y'all Ready For Another Scandal?

Voter fraud is alive and well and plans to jump into the news cycle in the not too distant future.

Columbus Dispatch reports widespread irregularities in a key battleground state. It's good to see the press do its job every now and then.

IRS's Doug Shulman Met With Stephanie Cutter At White House

As the weave of deceit unraveled the two "line employees" in Cincinnati expanded to four supervisors and is now up to 88 as reported by CNN.

The Internal Revenue Service has told House GOP investigators they have identified 88 IRS employees who may have documents relevant to the congressional investigation into targeting of conservative groups, according to a congressional source familiar with the investigation.
The IRS asked these employees to preserve all the "responsive documents" on their computers, and it has been in the process of collecting it all to comply with congressional requests for information. The IRS missed its May 21st deadline to turn over documents to the House Ways and Means Committee.

The same source said the IRS argues it missed its deadline because of the scope of documents it is collecting.

Who did Douglas Shulman meet at the White House? Stephanie Cutter.

Has Every Government Agency Gone To Hell Under Obama?

The Obama administration is hardly a model of professionalism but two items, aside from three ongoing scandals, makes wonder how much longer this government can even deliver the mail let alone take on the challenges of Obamacare or establishing a Syrian no fly zone.

The first item, from the New York Post , Involves two State Department employees who were shot outside a strip club in Venezuela.

Two officials from the US Embassy suffered gunshot wounds early Tuesday during an altercation at a strip club in Venezuela's crime-ridden capital, police and US State Department officials said. Their injuries were not considered life-threatening.
The circumstances of the shooting were unclear, with conflicting reports over whether it happened inside or outside the Antonella 2012 nightclub.
Police said the two US officials were shot following a brawl inside the club, which is in the basement of a shopping center in the upper-middle-class Chacao neighborhood. A woman who works at the club said the two men got into a fight with each other.

Another example of "smart diplomacy" brought to State by Hillary Clinton? With employees like this who needs terrorists? By now most Americans have come to expect Secret Service agents to drink and cavort with strippers and prostitutes in far off lands but the two offenders in this case are under the supervision of John Swiftboat Kerry, who if memory serves me correctly, served in Vietnam.
The second item is genuinely disturbing and creepy. The worrisome case of Ibragim Todashev once again calls into question the veracity of the FBI. The FBI has not always been truthful and forthcoming. The shooting of Vicki Weaver at Ruby Ridge while she was holding her infant was wanton killing if not technically murder. The FBI has been corrupted by organized crime as in the case of James "Whitey" Bulger. Without getting into the details of the case suffice it to say government informants were identified and then allegedly rubbed out by Bulger and his cohorts. Innocent men were allowed to be framed for murders committed by Bulger's gang.
If the FBI is innocent of any wrong doing in the Ibragim Todashev case it has a strange way of making that argument. First it was reported that Todashev was one the verge of confessing to and implicating Tamerlan Tsarnaev in a triple homicide when he "exploded and leapt at" the agents and was shot to death. Another version says he was armed with a sword although I suppose one could explode and leap with a sword. The autopsy report has been sealed until the follow up investigation has been completed but the family, which did get the body, claims Todashev had been shot 7 times! One thing is certain. The FBI made several conflicting statements surrounding the shooting and has since remained silent citing the "ongoing investigation" bullshit that has been drug out from Fast and Furious to Benghazi, from IRS targeting to the AP phone records seizure. It's always an ongoing investigation right up until it looks like a felony and in this case it may well be felony murder.

The Case Against Amnesty For Illegal Immigrants: IV

Here's a blast from the past. Senator Richard Schweiker 1977. At the time, opponents of amnesty were afraid of an influx of cheap labor. Now we fear bombs, voter fraud and welfare recipients. Times change but the Senator's remarks still ring true.

...The amnesty proposal is not only misguided in approach, but also based on erroneous assumptions. Administration spokesmen have conjured up images of massive dragnets of federal officials having to comb communities throughout the nation for illegal aliens unless amnesty is granted...

Thank You Card To IRS

The worship continues! There is this idea that if we just get rid of the biggest tumor, the patient will be OK.  I disagree. A new variety of fundamentalism has taken hold of America. (Fundamentalism being defined as a system of immutable thought.)

Rush Limbaugh, of course, equates the new fundamentalism with liberalism but liberalism has an intellectual foundation. Obamaism has no intellectual foundation. Obama is god. Obama is good. All who oppose, resist or criticize are evil. Rule of law is passe.

If the most widespread abuse of power in US History--so pervasive that it corrupts the exercise of democracy and illegally influenced hundreds of elections--does not offend the zealots, will martial law bother them? Will martial law be dismissed as one more fake scandal? Will they be sending thank you's to the civil servants who run concentration camps? A lot of us are afraid to answer those questions.

The story of Barack Hussein Obama is part Orwell, part "Twilight Zone," part Jonestown and part "Invasion of The Body Snatchers." Obama has made rational appeals to certain special interest groups (the legal profession, unions, teachers, illegal immigrants to name a few) but Obama voters are largely irrational. That is not a patronizing assessment nor is it a snide commentary about people who do not share my political views. It is simply reaffirming the obvious: Barack Obama's ongoing political campaign rarely, if ever, appeals to the voter's rational faculties. For non-members of special interest groups, supporting Barack Obama is a non-rational undertaking.

Obama followers cannot articulate their love anymore than a teenager can explain her first crush. It is visceral, not analytical. It is based not on reason, but sentiment. For many, the ardor blossomed into full blown religious expression. Fools like me underestimated the breadth and depth of Obama worship. It is real. It is too real.

This blog started out chronicling displays of Obama worship. We joked about Obama worship but we didn't literally mean it. Those idiots in 2008, they were just caught up in the moment, right? Wrong! The worship was and is literal. As genuine as Jonestown.

I wrongly thought I could change people's minds by showcasing folly in the extreme. I posted dozens of disturbing videos of silly Obama supporters. Sadly, I barely scratched the surface. There are hundreds of Youtube videos of fools bowing down to a hollow man they do not know and don't care to know. Who needs facts when one is showered with a bounty of such splendid iconography?

Somewhere along the way this blogger felt that he had made his point. Yes, the cult of Obama was as creepy as it gets. The fundamentalists would still bow down to their messiah. Can't save the mindless, no. But most Obama voters would distance themselves from the Kool-Aid cult if only to retain a measure of self-respect. Wrong! 2012.

An aside. The 2008 election made me rethink the merits of organized religion. We are a religious species. If we don't find a sane outlet for our religiosity, we might end up following a sleazy-cheesy community organizer whose real intentions are shrouded in mystery. 

Religion by its very nature requires the participant to think in a pararational manner. Fully engage one's knowledge to its limits and then defer to faith. There were guard rails in place. Idolatry was strictly prohibited. The exercise of religion did not license one to practice self-delusion as a preferred lifestyle.

It is imperative that opponents of Barack Obama come to grips with reality. It is time we face the ugly truth. Let us acknowledge the obvious:

1. The worship of Barack Obama is literal.

2. The cult of Barack Obama is colossal. Humanity has never before witnessed a religious cult that has snared so many, so fast. The ramifications have largely been ignored.

3. The worship of Barack Obama is by no means spontaneous. From fainting women to the Obama Halo, from the rewritten spirituals that praise the new messiah to the hypnotic speeches void of content, the deification of Barack Obama is deliberate and it is contrived. Look closely and you will see the marionette's strings and the steely determination written on the faces of skillful puppet masters.

4. Obama fundamentalists, as with other fundamentalists, cannot be swayed with logic. They will not and cannot "come to their senses."

5.  Obama worshipers are dangerous people. 

6. A personality that embraces his own deification is a dangerous human being! This can never be under emphasized. 

Race Baiting Louisiana Democratic Party Chairwoman Runs From Reporters

State Senator Karen Carter Peterson, the chair of the Louisiana Democratic Party, ran from from local television reporters who asked about her declaration that opponents of Obamacare are driven by racism. In case you missed my earlier post with the video of her speech you can find it here.

Will Cindy Thomas and Holly Paz Also Take the 5th?

I have twice cited Fox 19 News in Cincinnati as the best source of information on the IRS scandal. Their reporters continue to dig into the story with zeal and professionalism that is seldom seen in local reporting. In this report they zero in on Cindy Thomas. In an earlier post I reported that Thomas was responsible for leaking confidential information to George Soros funded ProPublica. BTW how long will it be before Democrats complain that women are being targeted? This is a hen house of corruption. Will Lois Lerner's subordinates also take the 5th?

Was The IRS Carrying Water For The Palestinians?

The targeting of the Pennsylvania pro-Israel organization, Z Street by the IRS adds a new wrinkle to the IRS scandal. Generally the tea party groups and  religious groups expressed ideological beliefs that may have upset the Obama White House and IRS liberals but in the Z Street case the candid admission that Z Street held views that may contradict administration policy is a departure from the usual modus operandi. A Wall Street Journal editorial reports that when Z Street founder Lori Lowenthal Marcus asked about the slow pace of her tax exempt application she was told that groups such as hers had to be referred to "a special unit".

Asked about the slow pace of approval, the IRS auditor on the case, Diane Gentry, said the application was taking so long because auditors were supposed to give special scrutiny to groups "connected with Israel." Ms. Marcus says Ms. Gentry further explained that many applications related to Israel had to be sent to "a special unit in D.C. to determine whether the organization's activities contradict the Administration's public policies." Z Street filed suit in August 2010 in federal court in Pennsylvania alleging "viewpoint discrimination," and its case has since been moved to Washington, D.C.
Why the special scrutiny for pro-Israel groups? A New York Times article in July 2010 provided a clue: Tax-exempt groups were donating to West Bank settlers, and State Department officials wanted the settlers out. "As the American government seeks to end the four-decade Jewish settlement enterprise and foster a Palestinian state in the West Bank," the Times wrote, "the American Treasury helps sustain the settlements through tax breaks on donations to support them."
Did the T-men take their political cues from such stories, or did Administration officials give them orders? Either explanation would be a violation of public trust.

It should be noted that Z Street was applying for 501(c)(3) unlike most of the other targeted groups which applied for(c)(4) status. Z Street is not a political group but rather is strictly educational but its donors may take a tax deduction for their donations. It may not involve itself in politics but it can donate money to West Bank settlers which brings us to the "special unit in D.C." Does the IRS have foreign policy expertise? Can anyone in the IRS analyze the foreign policy implications of the tax code? Was the special unit outside the IRS? State Department? National Security Council? Sharing that information is illegal. Was the IRS, with or without outside help, carrying water for the Palestinians?

Ouch! This campaign ad from Mitch McConnell hits about as hard as anything I've seen. It's too bad every year isn't election year. McConnell is smart enough to know that the safe ground in Kentucky is to the right of Rand Paul.

It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels; Just Ask Mayor Bloomberg

To many Mayor Michael Bloomberg appears to be a prudish cross between Billy Sunday and Napoleon Bonaparte with a touch of Ralph Nader tossed in for extra blandness. He has fought the good fight against almost everything most people find enjoyable, from cola drinks to table salt, from trans fats to high capacity magazines while exuding an air of stunning self righteousness and moral outrage almost to the point of dementia. In the interest of fairness and balance, it should pointed out that the nation's tiniest mayor presides over a Parks and Recreation Department that is all about fun.

“The men started demanding a lot more. They were like, ‘You want us to give you money, show us something,’ ” she recalled. “And for the New Year’s party, it got really grabby. Some women stripped to their panties and bras, and men were slapping asses. It was out of control.”

Gee, this goes on in New York City? I thought they put a stop to that sort of shenanigans after the Tailhook convention during the Clinton administration. As the Daily News reports;

A stripper pole, free-flowing booze and female city employees performing sexy tricks are just a few staples at raunchy holiday parties hosted by Parks Department supervisors.
Seasonal employees — some disrobing down to their bras and panties — tantalized as many as 10 men at a time during Christmas and New Year’s Eve celebrations going back to at least 2009, a Daily News investigation found.
The clandestine parties were held in a so-called “boom boom” room at a city-owned facility on Randalls Island. And the seasonal workers who “got on the pole” were rewarded with additional work or permanent jobs, sources told The News.

Boom boom Bloomberg has yet to comment on the hijinks or explain how a stripper pole has become a vehicle for career advancement in his fiefdom.

"According to one female worker, a man at last year’s Christmas party yelled: “If you want a job, get on the pole.”

After the taxpayers have ponied up to settle the sexual harassment suits and the offending supervisors have been shifted to less visible positions Boom Boom can get back to lecturing the voters on their lack of tolerance toward terrorists the moral decline in the fast foods industry.

Student Suspended For Inciting a "social media riot"

I have never seen a social media riot but I imagine it would be an awful sight. Patrick Brown of Cicero-North Syracuse High School in upstate New York was suspended for "inciting a social media riot" after he suggested in a tweet that the principal's job should be cut. The trouble began when the voters rejected the district's $144,716,279 budget proposal. While practically everyone in the school was talking where to cut the budget Brown tweeted using the hashtag #shitCNSshouldcut. Many students joined Brown and came up with an extensive list of cuts with maybe too much schadenfreude, at least for school administrators. The list included:
Cinema, I’m sorry, but really, you pay a teacher to have kids watch movies
Anime club
Cheerleading
Excessive budgets
Outdated code of conduct
3-D printers
Teachers who use their cell phones in class
The superintendent
Administrators that managed to get us into this mess, financially and socially
How about a CNS employee health care contribution increase?
Primarily, the board of education, and honestly most of the teachers, too. Extreme Makeover: School Edition

Employee health care contributions!? Who the hell raised this sorry bunch of brats?
Brown did make one mistake that left him open to suspension. He used his cell phone in class.

"I was called down to the office and told I was being suspended for harassment of teachers, which no harassment was ever committed," Brown said. "I proved them wrong and instead they suspended me for cell phone use in class and disrupting the education process because the trend I started created a social media riot."

His fellow students responded with #free pat brown. That hashtag was used by students from several school districts and used to discuss freedom of speech. This is weird. The students stay on a even keel while the adults go off the deep end.

Louisiana State Democratic Chairwoman; Opposition to Obamacare Based on Race

When all else fails it's about race. The speaker in the video is not just another dumb ass Democrat. She chairs the Louisiana State Democratic Party. Karen Carter Peterson has also been a Democratic National Committeewoman. Evidently we are witnessing the same political skills that caused her to run second William Jefferson in 2006 even though Jefferson was under investigation by the FBI and was caught with $90,000 in his freezer.

IRS Locking Down Its Computers

The IRS is in the process of locking down its computers. In an email going out late Thursday employees were advised that the IRS was “copying every hard drive in TE/GE across the IRS.” TE/GE, is of course the, Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division that was headed by Lois Lerner until she was placed on administrative leave. The email of which National Review Online has obtained a copy goes on to report;

Employees were directed not to “wipe, re-image or otherwise destroy any hard drives” on any machine currently in use or in stock. During this time, the IRS will not discard any laptop and desktop computers that are replaced, and it is “working on securing a location” where they will be kept, according to the e-mail.

What is not known is who is conducting the new investigation. Is it the FBI or the Inspector General or some other government agency?

A Miss America in the Senate?

Maybe Kentucky Democrats watch too much Celebrity Apprentice. First they flirted with Ashley Judd now their attention has been turned toward Miss America. No, not just any celebrity will do so don't pin your hopes on Gary Busey. It must be a female celebrity and presently it looks as if Heather French Henry, Miss America of 2000 and wife of former Lieutenant Governor Steve Henry has the inside track. For a time it looked as if Secretary of State Alison Grimes would challenge Mitch McConnell but she has remained undecided maybe for too long.
I suppose the Miss Americas who aren't clever enough to work for Fox News go to Kentucky and become trophy wives. Governor John Y. Brown probably owes his election to his wife, Phyllis George a former Miss America and CBS sports reporter but George wasn't on the ticket and Brown didn't have the sleazy personal history as does the would be candidate's spouse, Steve Henry such as pleading to misdemeanor campaign finance violations, settling federal lawsuits for alleged Medicaid and Medicare fraud, and even being forced to reimburse the state for public resources used at his and Heather’s wedding.
For some reason national Democrats feel the must run a woman against McConnell and for some reason Kentucky women are reluctant to enter politics so the pickings are pretty slim. Women make up only 20% of the state senate and Grimes is the only woman to hold statewide office.
Supposedly McConnell is vulnerable because in 2008 he only pulled 53% of the vote against Bruce Lunceford who ran an exceptionally good campaign while John McCain pulled 57% against Obama. It will take more than a photogenic runway walker with a slimy husband to do in McConnell. Kentucky has been trending Republican red for 20 years and anything short of a major scandal on his part will not be enough to turn out Mitch McConnell.

Penny Pritzker "Inadvertently" Failed to Report $80 Million in Earnings

It's funny how many tax problems pop up when someone is nominated to a cabinet level post. Zoe Baird brought us nanny-gate in the Clinton years. Yes, the nanny was an illegal immigrant but Zoe and spouse evidently conferred tax exempt status on the nanny in one of those off-the-book arrangements. Timothy Geithner brought standards to a new low for a cabinet post when it was revealed that he had bilked the Treasury out of about $35,000.
Ethical considerations aside these two are a pair of pikers compared to Penny Pritzker, heir to the Hyatt Hotel fortune, and friend of Barack Obama. Penny was just checking her books in preparation for the Senate confirmation hearing that would lead to assuming the office of Secretary of Commerce when Zap! like the proverbial bolt from the blue up popped a $80,000,000 accounting error. I hate when I make errors like that.
According to Bloomberg, it was inadvertent and there was no harm done as Penny quickly filed an amended return.

Chicago billionaire Penny Pritzker inadvertently understated a portion of her income by at least $80 million in a disclosure form required for her nomination to be U.S. Commerce secretary and has amended the document.
Documents released last week show Pritzker received $32.2 million for a decade’s worth of consulting on the restructuring of domestic trusts. The filings released yesterday show she earned at least $80 million for that work, according to Bloomberg’s compilation of the data. The revised total is in addition to the amount reported last week, according to Anderson.

Of course quoting a newspaper report of Penny's petty mistake at her Senate hearing would be considered to be low brow and hurtful. Only leaked tax documents as with the Koch brothers and Mitt Romney should be allowed in Harry Reid's Senate.

Teacher Disciplined For Teaching 5th Amendment

There should be a special honor for teachers like John Dryden. Instead he is facing disciplinary action which could possibly result in his dismissal from the Batavia, Illinois high school at which he teaches. If the fifth amendment is good enough for Lois Lerner and every other felon it ought to be good enough for innocent high school students. The trouble started with a survey on alcohol and drug use that was dropped in Dryden's mailbox about 10 minutes before class time. Dryden noticed that the survey forms had names on them. He did not have time to take the matter up with the school administration but instead gave his class a quick lesson on the fifth amendment and the right not to complete questions that could cause the students legal jeopardy.
The school board was not pleased with Dryden's use of the teaching moment . Dryden faces having a "letter of remedy'' placed in his employment file, which could have consequences up to dismissal. I'll bet his students love him!

Lois Lerner Hit With Civil Suit

This news is a bit old but in case you have spent the weekend offline it's a real pleasure to report that Lois Lerner has been served with papers in a civil suit. Lots of luck hiding behind the 5th amendment there, Lois. The suit, filed by True the Vote sues Lerner in her personal capacity rather than her governmental capacity. You can read the entire complaint here but this is a list of the defendants.

FBI Spent 2 Years Listening to Louie, Louie,

This story should bring out the libertarian in everyone. The Smithsonian reports that the FBI spent two years investigating the song Louie, Louie, after  a complaint from a Florida school teacher. In 1963 the FBI was concerned with stamping out obscenity.
“The lyrics are so filthy that I can-not enclose them in this letter,’” the complaint read. “We all know there is obscene materials available for those who seek it,” it went on, “but when they start sneaking in this material in the guise of the latest teen age rock & roll hit record these morons have gone too far.”
The FBI tried in vain to find the song to be obscene by playing the recording at different speeds and using other sound lab techniques and someone did come up with the obscene lyric which the Smithsonian links to but for reasons of good taste doesn't print. There is a letter to then Attorney General Robert Kennedy and evidently the writer supplied the obscene lyrics to Bobby himself who stiffed the FBI with the assignment. The FBI may have had more success had they bothered to ask Jack Ely the lead singer for the Kingsmen but they never got around to that. The lyrics were probably unintelligible for the simple reason it was a terrible recording session. What was thought to be a rehearsal turned out to be the finished cut. There were issues with the sole microphone, a boom mike that Ely had to stand on tip toe to reach. Add in the fact that Ely had strained his voice in a previous performance and wore braces on his teeth and they had the makings of real disaster had not some over anxious teacher let his imagination run to the lewd. Here are the actual lyrics:
Louie, Louie,
me gotta go.
Louie, Louie,
me gotta go.

A fine little girl, she wait for me;
me catch a ship across the sea.
I sailed the ship all alone;
I never think I’ll make it home

Three nights and days we sailed the sea;
me think of girl constantly.
On the ship, I dream she there;
I smell the rose, in her hair.

Me see Jamaica moon above;
It won’t be long me see me love.
Me take her in my arms and then
I tell her I never leave again.

Reviewing The Worship Of Barack Hussein Obama. Part XII

If you have never been able to sit through this video in its entirety, believe me, I understand.  If you can stomach it, watch it all the way through. Then tell me we have not fallen through the looking glass.

Pile up the scandals as high as you like, the zealots will never see imperfection in their deity. The worship is literal. The zeal is real. For that reason, I cannot see the Obama era ending gracefully. Cultists who pledge their hearts, minds and souls to a leader do not deprogram themselves when their puppet god is exposed. The situation is more precarious than most of us care to admit.

"American Prayer" begs the question, 'TO WHOM ARE WE PRAYING?'

The story of Barack Hussein Obama is part Orwell, part "Twilight Zone," part Jonestown and part "Invasion of The Body Snatchers." Obama has made rational appeals to certain special interest groups (the legal profession, unions, teachers, illegal immigrants to name a few) but Obama voters are largely irrational. That is not a patronizing assessment nor is it a snide commentary about people who do not share my political views. It is simply reaffirming the obvious: Barack Obama's ongoing political campaign rarely, if ever, appeals to the voter's rational faculties. For non-members of special interest groups, supporting Barack Obama is a non-rational undertaking.

Obama followers cannot articulate their love anymore than a teenager can explain her first crush. It is visceral, not analytical. It is based not on reason, but sentiment. For many, the ardor blossomed into full blown religious expression. Fools like me underestimated the breadth and depth of Obama worship. It is real. It is too real.

This blog started out chronicling displays of Obama worship. We joked about Obama worship but we didn't literally mean it. Those idiots in 2008, they were just caught up in the moment, right? Wrong! The worship was and is literal. As genuine as Jonestown.

I wrongly thought I could change people's minds by showcasing folly in the extreme. I posted dozens of disturbing videos of silly Obama supporters. Sadly, I barely scratched the surface.

Can't save the mindless, no. But most Obama voters would distance themselves from the Kool-Aid cult if only to retain a measure of self-respect. Wrong! 2012.

It is imperative that opponents of Barack Obama come to grips with reality. It is time we face the ugly truth. Let us acknowledge the obvious:

1. The worship of Barack Obama is literal.

2. The cult of Barack Obama is colossal. Humanity has never before witnessed a religious cult that has snared so many, so fast. The ramifications have largely been ignored.

3. The worship of Barack Obama is by no means spontaneous. From fainting women to the Obama Halo, from the rewritten spirituals that praise the new messiah to the hypnotic speeches void of content, the deification of Barack Obama is deliberate and it is contrived. Look closely and you will see the marionette's strings and the steely determination written on the faces of skillful puppet masters.

4. Obama fundamentalists, as with other fundamentalists, cannot be swayed with logic. They will not and cannot "come to their senses."

5.  Obama worshipers are dangerous people. 

6. A personality that embraces his own deification is a dangerous human being! This can never be under emphasized.

Penn Gillette Privatizes The Embedded Video

I  am too lazy to unpost his video. Trust me, it is good. Good enough to charge $ to view? Not in my opinion  but I not the clever market guy that Penn Gillette happens to be.
