I’m not exactly sure why these guys put themselves through this insanity. CNN’s Dana Bash showcases her exceptional bias and puts Jim Jordan through the pretzel logic of modern media punditry….

….It’s not the scale of the mountain in front of you that represents the greatest challenge to your success, it’s the pebble in your shoe !…

Predictable does not begin to explain what began today. Write down the date, it’s almost as significant as May 11th 2014 .

Chris Wallace had the last two weeks off. He returns today, March 1st, carrying a remarkable reinvigoration for the progressive ideology.  Governor Scott Walker has become the primary roadblock to Rupert Murdoch’s chosen candidate, Jeb Bush.  And Walker just finished 2nd to Rand Paul in the CPAC straw poll….

Toward that end, Walker must be removed; subtly, so as not to openly isolate the audience (revenue stream) for FOX News. [In 2012 Matt Drudge did the same thing for his guy Mitt Romney  – it’s not so subtle when you know the objective and motivation$]

How do you do the bidding of the Murdoch? Simple, you do the same thing the progressive leftists do when trying to remove the impediment to “your guy”.

Watch Chris Wallace focus on… wait for it… the hot button issues of the time, the social issues, the issues that no-one actually gives a flip about. (more…)

Running out of other people’s money….

(Reuters) – Chicago drew closer to a fiscal free fall on Friday with a rating downgrade from Moody’s Investors Service that could trigger the immediate termination of four interest-rate swap agreements, costing the city about $58 million and raising the prospect of more broken swaps contracts.

The downgrade to Baa2, just two steps above junk, and a warning the rating could fall further still, means the third-biggest U.S. city could face even higher costs in the future if banks choose to terminate other interest-rate hedges against fluctuations in interest rates.

All told, Chicago holds swaps contracts covering $2.67 billion in debt, according to a disclosure late last year. (more…)

Oh, what a tangled web is weaved….

The IRS inspector general, tasked with the internal IRS investigation, reveals to House Oversight Committee that the IRS withheld the documents showing the existence of the back-up tapes which contain internal IRS email communication, thought to contain the missing Lois Lerner emails.

Watch Jim Jordan:

All of this, ALL OF THIS, is because the IRS is trying desperately to hide the chain of communication showing the IRS and Senior White House administration officials , specifically Jack Lew, creating a scheme to target political opposition.

The evidence so far showcases a chain of communication from the initial discussion with the Obama Administration toward the IRS and Dept of Justice.

As a result of that strategy planning, the DOJ and IRS formulated a plan to use 501(c)(4) applications and tax filings to pull out the attached “Schedule B’s” – which are the forms listing the groups sponsors (individuals and organizations).

Those “Schedule B” lists were then assembled into a SECRET TARGETING LIST. The DOJ then used the “targeting list” (the DOJ Secret Research List) to send forth various compliance and regulatory agencies to audit, review and inspect the activity of those on the list.

The regulatory agencies sent by the DOJ included: OSHA, ATF, FBI, EPA and Labor Dept. (perhaps more) who then put targeted individuals, groups and businesses through the rigorous inspection of regulation and compliance. In short the weaponization of government against them.

…..THIS, ULTIMATELY, IS WHAT THEY (White House, IRS and DOJ) ARE TRYING TO HIDE.

The absolute number one reason the Obama “executive action” will fail in court is the issuance of, and creation of, an entirely new classification of “Illegal Alien”.

The classification is being created through the issuance of Social Security numbers and work authorization permits. There is nothing even remotely in the realm of “prosecutorial discretion” when it comes to reclassifying work eligibility.

Thus, when questioned DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson cannot answer the question.

[ Request: Does anyone have a link to the actual verbiage of the Obama ‘executive action’ rule(s)?]

(CNSNews.com) – When asked to do so at a Thursday press briefing, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson failed to cite any law that authorized President Barack Obama to give Social Security Numbers to illegal aliens.

CNSNews.com asked Johnson: “A federal court in Texas v. United States has said giving an illegal alien a Social Security Number is not an act of prosecutorial discretion. What specific law gives the president the authority to give a Social Security Number to a foreign national in the country illegally?”

Rather than answer the question, Johnson instead noted that the administration has appealed the court’s injunction against the administration’s unilateral action on immigration. (more…)

Channeling the same ideology of Al Sharpton, and ending his term as the nation’s top LEO, AG Holder gives an extensive interview to Politico outlining his desire to lower the standard of proof to bring federal civil rights charges.

Eric Holder was discussing the Trayvon Martin shooting incident as he gave his ideological assesment that it should be easier to target non-blacks, vis-à-vis George Zimmerman, who defend themselves against black attackers.

Previously Holder argued for, and gained, the removal of school discipline for black violations of school behavioral policy – using the controversial legal auspices of “disparate impact“. Apparently Holder wants to apply the same ideological approach toward what he defines as civil rights violations.

Politico […] “I think that if we adjust those standards, we can make the federal government a better backstop — make us more a part of the process in an appropriate way to reassure the American people that decisions are made by people who are really disinterested,” he said. “I think that if we make those adjustments, we will have that capacity.”

Regarding the ongoing IRS Lois Lerner email fiasco, the Inspector General is now reporting to congress that potential criminal activity might have occurred surrounding the email cover-up.  Even CNN had to cover this one….

Washington (CNN)—The IRS watchdog investigating the disappearance of Lois Lerner’s emails told a congressional panel on Thursday night they are looking into possible criminal activity.

Lerner was the IRS official at the center of allegations that the Internal Revenue Service targeted tea party groups applying for nonprofit status. Congress requested Lerner’s emails from the IRS and agency officials told lawmakers an unknown number of emails had been lost when Lerner’s computer crashed.

The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration has since recovered a number of those emails.

“There is potential criminal activity,” Treasury Deputy Inspector General Timothy Camus told the House Oversight Committee Thursday.

Camus did not elaborate on who may have committed possible criminal acts. (more…)

The FCC has approved “net neutrality” regulations and in effect now weaponized the internet. The foundation to make the internet a political weapon -to be used like the IRS- is now established. It will only be a matter of time before political opposition sites, defined by the Obama administration as “the enemy”, will be more difficult to access. 

I wonder if they will let us see the regulations now they have passed them?

(Via Politico) The Federal Communications Commission voted along party lines Thursday to approve sweeping changes to how it regulates the Internet, capping more than a year of noisy debate that sparked millions of public comments and drew the attention of President Barack Obama and congressional leaders.

The agency’s three Democrats voted to approve Chairman Tom Wheeler’s net neutrality order, which would treat broadband like a utility to ensure all Web traffic is treated equally. The commission’s two GOP members, Republican lawmakers and the nation’s telecom giants oppose the rules, saying they will dampen innovation and investment. AT&T has already threatened a legal challenge. (more…)
