Ultimately research shows the IRS Targeting Scandal is a series of magnitudes greater than all other Obama scandals. The Federal Department of Justice weaponizing the IRS to go after political enemies within the U.S. electorate is far more serious than any other controversy.
Cleta Mitchell updates on hopes and concerns moving forward:

Stage Five – The “taxpayers” realize their previous healthcare premium was considered a pre-tax deduction. (Progressives call these “tax expenditures”).

Listen to the embedded video at 27:00 to understand how the progressive Obamacare architects view “tax deductible” healthcare premiums as “tax expenditures” and how they have structured the system to reflect what comes next. This is how employer provided healthcare premium payments are now going to be considered income.

The employer paid premium, and the subsidy provided to assist in Obamacare premium coverage, are both considered a part of taxable earnings, “wage income”.

(Via Associated Press) Republican Dan Sullivan won Alaska’s U.S. Senate race, defeating incumbent Democrat Mark Begich. Sullivan led Begich by about 8,100 votes on Election Night last week, and when state officials counted absentee and questioned ballots Tuesday, the results indicated that Begich could not overcome Sullivan’s lead.
The Alaska seat was initially considered key to the Republicans’ hopes of taking control of the U.S. Senate, but that was accomplished election night with the GOP sweep.
Sullivan, a first-time candidate, ran a confident campaign, ignoring the debate schedule Begich released during the primary and setting his own agenda. He also attracted some star power to the state, with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a tea party favorite, and 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney rallying support for Sullivan in the waning days of the hotly contested race. (more…)

Two years ago we took considerable flak for highlighting the Nine Anticipated Stages of Obamacare Outrage.   However, despite the political delays provided by the White House to avoid consequences, and given the context of the Jonathan Gruber video (recently surfaced) we can advance to stage #5.    
The 2013 meme for antagonism around Obamacare was to point out the inherent falsehood behind the statement:

“If you like your insurance plan/doctor, you can keep it“.

Anyone who has spent even a modicum of time following and researching this administration will note the only wording out of place was the first use of the term “you”.
The statement from President Obama would have been accurate if he had said:

..”If I like your insurance plan, you can keep it”

Where “I” is actually defined as the political ideology behind the phrase.
It is the progressive ideology which defines what you can, or cannot, have. Period.
The entire premise of the ACA, or Obamacare, was government defining all the common denominators.  The recent Gruber video puts a fine point on this aspect.

In essence they needed to create two impressions, one real and one false.

To understand the intents and motives of the attackers you cannot take this single example alone. There is a pattern in Wisconsin, specifically Madison and Milwaukee going back to 2011.   In addition, in every case the media has avoided the racial component of the attacks.
Example HERE, and HERE, and HERE, and HERE, and HERE, and HERE where the assailants admit the goal is to beat up white people.
Milwaukee Wisconsin – Two black males in Milwaukee walked up to the home of a white family, in a majority black neighborhood, and unleashed a hail of gunfire.
A five year old white girl was murdered while sitting on her grandfather’s lap.
Milwaukee police say there is no question the shooters were deliberately trying to kill people inside the house. At least a dozen bullets were fired directly into the house. There may have been a third person driving a getaway car.

The house was located in a census tract that is 77% black and 14% white.
The Milwaukee Sentinel and Milwaukee channel 6 have actually been trying to downplay the murder. They are falsely reporting that it was “a stray bullet.” That directly contradicts all the evidence found by police. (more…)

Almost nothing needs to be said as the Angus King video speaks for itself.  Senator Angus King supporting the Democrat viewpoint that people don’t know enough about what’s best for them and so then need to be deceived in order for liberal rules to embed.
In essence: The ends justify the any means.  Americans are not interested in the process and constructs….  let us tell you what you want and need.  If you don’t agree with us, “you are cruel” and just trying to kill people.

At 100 or more new reported cases a day
(and, obviously, an unquantified number of unreported cases) coupled with the deliberate “removal” of dead victims from the official tally, it is apparent that the Ebola outbreak continues to rage and is far from contained.
As has been mentioned here and elsewhere in the Realism Blogosphere,  Math Just Is.  As the Daily Mail UK reports, scores of orphaned children left to care for themselves after close contact and sustained exposure to a parent or other caregiver who has died from Ebola are  “ticking timebombs”.

~ The Trayvon Martin Legacy ~

We have tracked this intent for 5 years as it evolved from theory, to hidden practice, to policy discussion, then presidential executive order, and now into full blown implementation.
Both Miami-Dade and Maryland Schools did it secretly. At least the Minneapolis School District is being open about their intentions, all former districts have done it without telling the public.
Minneapolis will now institute a policy of disciplinary suspension for white students, but blacks and other minorities will not be suspended and allowed intolerant behavior to correct the disparate impact.
MINNESOTA –  Minneapolis Public Schools are implementing a new policy aimed at eliminating the gap between the races when it comes to suspensions. Nothing will change for white students, they will still be suspended at the discretion of each school’s principal. But for minority students, specifically black, Hispanic and Native American students, the Minneapolis Schools Superintendent’s office will personally review each case.
This new policy is part of an agreement with U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights announced last week after an investigation into why minority students made up such a high percentage suspended students in the past. (more…)

Let us provide the obvious two answers to the repeating questions in this article:

#1 )  This is Maryland – One of the most historically liberal of governmental constructs for liberal policy implementation. They avoid this stuff.

#2)  “All your children are belong to us” – In Maryland the government knows better than you.  Period.  When in doubt, refer to #1.  Remember the “pop tart gun” kid – and the subsequent entire school psychological counseling?

GERMANTOWN, Md. (WJLA) – Parents are furious about a Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) substitute teacher who is accused of sexually assaulting a student, just one week after they learned a contractor allegedly inappropriately touched two students.

Jose Pineda, a 50-year-old substitute teacher, reportedly touched a 12-year-old girl inappropriately at Roberto W. Clemente Middle School on Sept. 30. Court documents allege Pineda first reached around the girl and touched her behind, then walked by four to five times and squeezed her legs and bottom. (more…)

(Via Fox News)  The Daily Caller’s Patrick Howley reported Sunday that Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber had said at the University of Pennsylvania’s 24th Annual Health Economics Conference that it was a good thing that Americans never realized what was in the Affordable Care Act, because “the stupidity of the American voter” would have otherwise killed the law.
But for unexplained reasons, the University of Pennsylvania has pulled its video of the event, which took place in October of 2013. ”This video has been removed by the user,” a message now reads. “Sorry about that.” The video is still embedded on the conference page, but playing the video gives a similar error message.
One person who was angry to hear of the apparent cover-up was Bloomberg columnist Megan McArdle. “This is pretty shocking behavior by my alma mater,” she tweeted, “Why would @Penn pull down a public video that has political implications?” (link)
UPDATE #2 :  Mark Levin picked up on the removal, and discussed on his radio broadcast.  Like Magic, presto, links mysteriously show up and start to work again – Here’s the FULL AHEC Panel just not on the U of PA website.  Go figure…. looks like someone got caught playing “hide the evidence“.
If you had any doubts about the motives behind the people who constructed Obamacare you can put those doubts away, forever. In this video MIT professor, and ObamaCare architect Johnathan Gruber, specifically states that ObamaCare was constructed to fool the American electorate. (more…)
