WASHINGTON DC – A federal judge on Thursday ordered the IRS to detail under oath how some of former agency official Lois Lerner’s emails went missing, as well as any potential methods for recovering them.

Judge Emmet Sullivan of the U.S. District Court in Washington gave the Internal Revenue Service exactly a month — until Aug. 10 — to file a report, which he demanded as part of a lawsuit from a conservative watchdog, Judicial Watch, against the agency.
Judicial Watch is seeking a wide range of documents from the IRS, including Lerner’s emails, as part of a Freedom of Information Act request. It has complained that the IRS didn’t tell it that the agency couldn’t recover all of Lerner’s emails from 2009 to 2011.
Sullivan cast his ruling as a compromise, and a potential way for Judicial Watch to get answers without the court wading any deeper into the matter. Judicial Watch had asked the court to potentially compel IRS officials to testify about the lost emails, through a process called limited discovery. (more…)

According to this report highlighted in The Hill Democrats are planning to use “race” as a weapon in all of their mid-term races.    This tactic was recently used in Mississippi, ironically by the GOP, with much success.  Hence it has caught the attention of the Democrats as an effective method to avoid electoral defeats.
Essentially, Democrats will use a national strategy to say if the “GOP” member wins in any house or Senate race, then black people will have their Food Stamps, or Medicaid, or benefits removed.  
Various DNC instructions will be to make it personal and specifically targeted to the individuals in the race.   This, Democrats hope, will bring an influx of minority voters to polls and stave off electoral defeats.   After all, it did work successfully for Thad Cochran in Mississippi.
Democrats are injecting race into the 2014 midterm elections amid fears that a drop-off in minority voters could severely cost them at the polls this fall.
WASHINGTON DC – “RACISM AS A STRATEGY” – Democratic leaders in Congress and administration officials have suggested GOP opposition to policies ranging from immigration reform to ObamaCare are, at least partly, motivated by race.
More broadly, they’ve suggested conservative Tea Party criticism of President Obama is based on the fact that he is black.
Democrats reject charges that the rhetoric is a concerted political calculation on their part as they try to retain their Senate majority and make gains in the House. (more…)

Most people don’t comprehend the nature, or scope, of the historical animosity between Illegal Alien Latino’s and African American Blacks.   President Obama spending $3.7 Billion exclusively to make Latino life better is going to make the Black Grievance Industry (BGI) seriously angry.

(CBS Chicago ) — The Rev. Jesse Jackson and Mayor Emanuel are differing on where the fingers should be pointed when it comes to federal anti-violence help, reports WBBM Political Editor Craig Dellimore.
Rev. Jesse Jackson and Mayor Emanuel agree curbing violence involves not just police but economic development and jobs in high crime neighborhoods, but Rev. Jackson seemed to fault President Obama for funding priorities that appear to put immigrant children coming across the borders first.

“If we can find $4 billion for those children, and we should, we can find $2 billion for Chicago,” said Jackson.  (read more)

Structural confusion is a strategy, and this White House has perfected the skill of using confusion to outwit the opposition.

Various downstream factions of political opposition are predictably breaking apart under the flow of illegal immigration issues President Obama is controlling upstream.
People in Murrietta California standing guard to block the transfer of illegal aliens into their neighborhood;  and at the same time you have Glenn Beck loading teddy bears and bottled water into tractor trailers headed to detainment camps.
You’ve got Catholic social welfare organizations collecting clothes and food, while the non-borders crowd are beating drums in front of the White House demanding amnesty.
Middle America is torn.   Average people want the border secured, but advocacy toward that end will only result in the media labeling them bigots.   Somehow a reasonable desire for simple peace, and a secure border under the rule of law, is an extremist position.
Just about the time you come up for air – someone will scream at you: “everything is so political now”!
….It’s exhausting. (more…)

Epic frustration. Righteous too….

Republicans are scared of this issue because they worry the Main Stream Legacy Media will make them look like bigots or racists. In reality they need to take a lesson from Ms. Bernadette Lancelin and state the obvious loud and proud.

…Ms. Lancelin YOU ARE NOT ALONE !!

• Yesterday Thad Cochran campaign PAC’s admitted to false filings of data to Federal Election Commission.  (link) “mistakes have been made“…
• Yesterday the National Republican Senatorial Committee was busted as the financial source for the race-baiting ads used by Cochran Campaign. (link)
• Earlier today Thad Cochran’s campaign manager stepped down. (link)
• Earlier today Thad Cochran’s campaign hired legal counsel from Haley Barbours law firm. Presumably to isolate themselves against Haley Barbour being called to testify in ongoing investigations.  (link)

Now THIS:

(Via Breitbart)  National conservative election integrity organization True The Vote has asked a federal judge to issue a restraining order against the Mississippi Republican Party, alleging that the state GOP may be engaged in the destruction of evidence of alleged voter fraud from the June 24 GOP primary runoff.
“Defendant county commissioners have continued to violate federal law by preventing access to election records. Now, we think we know why,” True The Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht said in a statement. “If the affidavits we now have regarding the destruction of election documents and other similarly stunning findings are true, then no Mississippian, no American, can trust the results of this election.”

Yes, that’s actually how he began his speech:

…”the issue is not that people are evading our enforcement officials, the issue is that we’re apprehending them”…

So the simple solution would be just not to apprehend them – and we can simultaneously save $3.7 Billion.   Bingo, problem solved….. Next ?

SERIOUS DEVELOPMENT – Just before the IRS Goes Back To Court Tomorrow !
