In perhaps the least shocking surprise of the year (so far) Health and Human Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has resigned her position.    The White House has announced a replacement in Sylvia Mathews Burwell the current Director for The Office Of Management and Budget.

The timing of her resignation was widely anticipated after President Obama’s duplicitous  Rose Garden speech outlining successful ObamaCare registrations where Sebelius was conspicuously absent in appearance and mention.
Removing her now is seen as surgically removing the flawed ObamaCare rollout embarrassment from the ongoing narrative.   Nominating a female replacement for the upcoming confirmation process also provides President Obama with both a feminism shield and a sexist sword. (more…)

Tyranny, in all its forms, needs deception.

By disposition, in order to be effective, the expressed construct of hatred toward the majority needs to be hidden from public scrutiny. It has always been thus.

Recently we shared the statements by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to the Al Sharpton group of professional race provocateurs, the “Black Grievance Industry”, who were assembled in audience. Eric Holder stated in his speech:

“I have been proud to stand along side of you in supporting efforts to advance the cause of justice that has always been at the center of this , this administrations work I am pleased to note that the last five years have been defined by significant strides and lasting reforms, even in the face, even in the face, of unprecedented, unwarranted ugly adversity. And if you don’t believe that, you look at the way …forget about me… forget about me , you look at the way the Attorney General of the Untied States was treated yesterday by a House committee. Had nothing to do with me what Attorney General has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment? What President has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment.”   (Attorney General, Eric Holder 4/09/14) 

Holder was framing his argument that racism was the underlying reason for congressional unhappiness that he continues to conceal information from congressional inquiry. Specifically his comments stem from a congressional hearing exchange with Representative Louis Gohmert.  (watch exchange here)
However, the White House and the Obama administration don’t want the visibility, and/or the actual sunlight, upon what was said within the confines of the black grievance audience. (more…)

….Or more accurately what this picture outlines.

This is a picture from a very testy exchange between Congressman Louis Gohmert and Attorney General Eric Holder.  (you can watch the exchange here)
Mr. Gohmert is elected every two years to represent hundreds of thousands of his constituents.   Whether you like him or not, he is representative of the people; a large number of people.
Mr. Holder is a cabinet member appointed by, in this case, one man.   He represents two men;  himself and the President.
Another way to look at what Eric Holder’s doing here is to think about him, as an individual, pointing his finger at 300,000 Americans -who rise in opposition- and then threatening them. (more…)

Remember this ?  (February 2013) Conservative activist and founder of True the Vote, Catherine Engelbrecht, filed an ethics complaint against far left Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD).    Ms. Engelbrecht accused Cummings of harassment and intimidation.

Democrat House Committee Member Elijah Cummings denied he, nor his staff, ever had contact with leadership in the IRS about targeting or getting documents for Ms. Engelbrecht’s group, “True The Vote”.

However, today (Via WFB)  The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) sent tax documents on a targeted conservative group to Democratic staff on the House Oversight Committee, newly released emails show, despite previous denials by ranking Oversight Democrat Elijah Cummings (D., Md.) that such contact had occurred.

Police previously confirmed the driver was in no way responsible for the incident….. He remains in critical condition in a coma…

DETROIT (WJBK) — Detroit police say a fifth person is now under arrest in connection with the beating of Steven Utash.
Utash was critically injured by a mob after he stopped to help a 10-year-old boy whom he accidentally hit with his truck last Wednesday.  Sources tell FOX 2’s Roop Raj the latest arrest is a 19-year-old who was ‘a leader’ in Utash’s beating.
Witnesses say the suspect jumped out of a window at a home to get away Wednesday, prompting police to call for backup. Two sqad cars responded and were traveling east on Morang Drive when the driver of a red motorcycle, apparently ignoring or not realizing the police sirens, crashed into one of the police cars. The police car then slammed into a burgundy SUV. (more…)

Twitchy Cops = Overreaction !

OHIO – What should have been a fun day at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force turned into a nightmare for a Columbus family who was pulled over and held at gunpoint while leaving the base.
The incident happened on Friday, and on Tuesday the family was still shaken up. They say that being held at gunpoint and put in handcuffs was excessive behavior, but the base says they were following their procedures.
“I’m looking at my 8-year-old grandson and his eyes are full of tears and he says ‘this is the worst day of my life,’” said Alice Hill, who was driving the car at the time they were pulled over. She’s still processing exactly what happened.
“We had been on spring break vacation, and my grandson wanted to see the Wright Brothers’ plane because that’s what he’s been studying in school,” Alice said. (more…)

Yeah, I probably wouldn’t care about your failing either if your ineptitude did not directly effect my life.   Alas,…. Idjit.

(WASHINGTON)  Appearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Secretary of State John Kerry defiantly defended his diplomatic efforts, saying that while ambitious, they were better than doing nothing.

While the purpose of Tuesday’s hearing was to pick through the State Department’s budget, it was Kerry’s record that came under scrutiny as his old colleagues on the committee accused him of taking on too many responsibilities with too few results.

“I think you’re about to hit the trifecta,” Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., told Kerry, naming three of the most complicated issues Kerry took on: the humanitarian crisis in Syria, the Iranian nuclear program and the Middle East peace talks. (more…)

Washington, DC – Today, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) announced that the Committee, acting under its authority granted in Sec. 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code, voted out a criminal referral letter to Department of Justice (DOJ) Attorney General Eric Holder regarding actions taken by IRS employee Lois Lerner. Chairman Camp, in sending the letter on behalf of the Committee, urged Holder to take a serious review of the evidence uncovered through the Committee’s investigation to determine whether Lerner violated criminal statutes.
The House Committee Investigation uncovered three specific acts undertaken by Lerner that may have violated one or more criminal statutes documented in the letter:

• Lerner used her position to improperly influence agency action against only conservative organizations, denying these groups due process and equal protection rights under the law. She showed extreme bias and prejudice towards conservative groups. The letter lays out evidence on how Lerner targeted conservative organization Crossroads GPS as well as other right-leaning groups, while turning a blind eye to similarly-organized liberal groups, like Priorities USA.

•Lerner impeded official investigations by providing misleading statements in response to questions from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA).

•Lerner risked exposing, and may actually have disclosed, confidential taxpayer information, in apparent violation of Internal Revenue Code section 6103 by using her personal email to conduct official business.

If convicted of these crimes, Lerner could face up to 11 years in prison.
Here is the evidence against her: (more…)

Congress votes to send details of the corruption and scandal to the DOJ for criminal prosecution.   President Obama previously pledged to “hold anyone accountable” for their participation in the political targeting of people by the IRS.    However, President Obama has recently stated “there was not a smidgen of corruption in the IRS”.   Todays recommendation comes as information surfaces that Lerner was trying to get a position in OFA…..  

(WASHINGTON DC)  The House Ways and Means Committee has voted to 23-14 along party lines to refer former head of tax exempt groups at the IRS Lois Lerner to the Justice Department for prosecution. Although the details about exactly what charges will be have not yet been released, lawmakers are arguing Lerner has not been truthful with Congress or the IRS inspector general and leaked confidential tax information.
Last time a referral like this happened, it was to Major League Baseball player Roger Clemens, who was pursued by the Department of Justice for lying to Congress but was exonerated in court. (more…)
