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…)

Apparently Mr. Gowdy feels the same way most of us do. Ms. Lerner may have had the ‘right’ to remain silent, but as soon as she opened her mouth she lost her ‘ability’.
This is a good watch.

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…)

Within a Politico article which outlines the hiatus of the CNN Show “CrossFire” you find the following detail:

Crossfire brought the 6:30 p.m. ratings down 25 percent in total viewers and 23 percent in the 25-to-54 demo when compared to the nine months leading up to its launch. (link)

This is exactly as we predicted eight months ago.
Original Article From September 8th 2013 – CNN SET TO FAIL:  Next week (on Monday) CNN is set to rework the old Crossfire Show with a new cast. Unfortunately, because of pundit selection, it is set-up to fail before it even starts. The problem is best defined as “intellectual dishonesty”.

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…)

Sometimes the disconnect is obvious; other times the cognitive dissonance is fusion grade.  Chuck Schumer proclaims because everyone is talking about the ‘war on women’ it’s a sure indicator no-one cares about ObamaCare any more…

…. except it ain’t !  But God Bless em’ they keep trying to make it so.

WASHINGTON DC – Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), Senate Democrats’ messaging and political strategy guru, declared Tuesday that Democrats had turned the corner on the Affordable Care Act.

“This week, the talk is pay equity, not ACA,” he said, referring to the Affordable Care Act. “We’re going to have more and more weeks like that because we’re talking about thing that people really care about.”

The Senate will vote Wednesday on the Paycheck Fairness Act, which prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who make inquiries about colleagues’ pay.  (link)

If you’ve been following along you likely know how absurd this is.  

Somehow, in the bizzarro Easter Island land of long faces where John Kerry was spawned, this makes sense to him.   Israel blamed for derailing peace talks Palestinians would not participate in.

WASHINGTON DC – Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday said Israel’s announcement of new settlements in East Jerusalem last week derailed the peace talks with the Palestinians.
Israel first missed the deadline to release the fourth tranche of Palestinian prisoners, Kerry told lawmakers at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing. Israel then announced 700 new settlement units in Jerusalem.
“Poof, that was sort of the moment,” Kerry said at a hearing focused on the fiscal 2015 budget for national security and foreign policy priorities. (more…)
