Reviewing The Ongoing Corruption Of The Obama Administration

The internal DOJ documents represent the latest revelation in a two-year investigation spearheaded by House Financial Services Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte.

The investigation has thus far yielded evidence implicating the Obama DOJ in using mandatory donations to funnel roughly $1 billion in settlement money to activist groups, including The National Council of La Raza, the National Community Reinvestment Coalition and the National Urban League. The list of third party organizations were unrelated to the legal settlements, except through general claims that they would use the funds to aid the low income Americans most severely harmed by predatory lending practices.

Goodlatte argued that the Obama DOJ practices amounted to the creation of a “slush fund” used to channel money to “left-wing” groups on the House floor Tuesday afternoon before a vote on legislation that would stem the practice. The bill, introduced by Goodlatte in January, prohibits the government from entering into any settlement agreement that benefits any party other than the government, with few exceptions. The vote passed mostly along party lines after hours of debate.

Gaps In My Understanding: The Dems Spend $10 Million On Piss Poor Pornography?

This not even close to plausible dossier cost Hillary and the DNC 7 or 8 figures (when you have this kind of money, who is counting?)

Obviously, we are in the wrong line of work but this price tag would seem inflated at one per cent of its ultimate cost.

For this kind of cabbage, Fusion GPS could have delivered something a little bit believable.

Oh, to have just one client like HRC. That would buy a lot of monkeys a lot of keyboards.

Social Justice Horseshit Comes To West Point

Is there anything not made worse by Lefty influence? Sadly, West Point now cranks out social justice warriors.

Even the curriculum itself has suffered. The plebe American History course has been revamped to focus completely on race and on the narrative that America is founded solely on a history of racial oppression. Cadets derisively call it the “I Hate America Course.” Simultaneously, the plebe International History course now focuses on gender to the exclusion of many other important themes. On the other hand, an entire semester of military history was recently deleted from the curriculum (at West Point!). In all courses, the bar has been lowered to the point where it is irrelevant. If a cadet fails a course, the instructor is blamed, so instructors are incentivized to pass everyone. Additionally, instead of responding to cadet failure with an insistence that cadets rise to the challenge and meet the standard, the bar for passing the course itself is simply lowered. This pattern is widespread and pervades every academic department.

Rough Draft: Fire Sessions

I want the ever-inert Jeff Sessions removed from office. I want to circulate a petition demanding the president ask for his resignation. Of course I want the petition to sound formal and legalistic.

This is what I got so far. Please offer suggestions and criticism.



Demand President Trump to Fire Attorney General, Jeff Sessions.

Jeff Sessions has failed to perform the duties of Attorney General of the United States and as such should be removed from office. Without speculating on the reasons or motives for Attorney Sessions' ongoing torpor, it is easy to point out his ongoing dereliction of duty.

1.) Attorney Sessions has declined to prosecute Lois Lerner, et al, despite her public admission of guilt and the succeeding destruction of evidence.

2.) Attorney Sessions has declined to prosecute cases of blatant perjury, including James Clapper, as well as other officials who served in the previous administration.

3.) Attorney Sessions has declined to prosecute a single offender in the Obama Administration's domestic spying scandal, perhaps the most far-reaching abuse of public office in United States history.

4.) Attorney Sessions has failed to prosecute a single offender in the serial espionage that plagued the Clinton State Department.

5.) Attorney Sessions has failed to prosecute a single offender in what might be called the Russian/Uranium scandal.

6.) Attorney Sessions has failed to prosecute a single offender in the serial influence peddling that plagued the Clinton State Department.

7.) Attorney Sessions has failed to ask for Robert Mueller's resignation, despite Mueller's many conflicts of interest.

8.) In summary, Attorney Sessions has displayed an unwillingness to prosecute any political insider, any member of America's ruling class, any member of the privileged Washington establishment regardless of the volume or severity of criminal activity or the flagrant disregard for our rule of law. The values of Jeff Sessions are clearly inconsistent with the professed values of candidate Donald Trump, the professed values President Donald Trump, the values of the voters who elected Donald Trump, traditional American values, as well as the rule of law.

For the ongoing callous dereliction of duty displayed by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, we, the undersigned, petition President Donald Trump to demand his immediate resignation.

If you missed it, the National Football League is concerned about issues in the community as well as community issues and other issues concerning issues as well as underlying issues. Goodell boldly states that said issues with be dealt with in a positive way.

Whoever said brevity is the soul of wit never lay witness to a master poet mesmerizing an enchanted audience for over ten minutes utilizing only a half dozen wordies. Here is a distillation of the artist's rapturous performance. You might revisit the source to witness the unedited performance in all of its luster and splendor.

An actual comment from Yankee Patriot News:

An excerpt from Goodell's press conference: "Issues in the communities, communities, issues, communities, communities, issues, issues, communities' issues, the issues in our communities. Issues in the communities, communities, issues, communities, issues, communities, issues, issues, communities' issues, the issues in our communities.

Synchronicity:Fox Business News Is Literally Discussing Krugman's Predictions As I Was Hitting The "Publish " Button

Maybe our critics are right after all.  Maybe we do all think alike. With the Dow hitting 23,000, I thought it would be clever to post the notorious Paul Krugman's predictions from last November. I was doing so with FBN in the background. As I was completing the post, Varney and Company reminded the audience of PK's soothsaying.

Synchtonicity?

Honoring The Prophets: Paul Krugman's Post-Election Predictions

The Nobel laureate of Gray Lady fame nailed the strife and turmoil that would follow a Trump victory. As we stand in the soup line, let us remind ourselves that this sage warned us of the wages of foolishness. Had we only listened.

Paul Krugman: The Economic Fallout

COMMENT
It really does now look like President Donald J. Trump, and markets are plunging. When might we expect them to recover?
Frankly, I find it hard to care much, even though this is my specialty. The disaster for America and the world has so many aspects that the economic ramifications are way down my list of things to fear.
Still, I guess people want an answer: If the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is never.
