Grifting As A Profession

(PJ Tatler) Here’s a question I’ll bet nobody ever asked Jay Carney at a White House press briefing: Why does Michelle Obama’s mother live at the White House at taxpayer expense?
(If someone has asked, please send link for me to stand corrected.)

Melowese Richardson was a poll worker who voted twice for Obama under her own name  in 2012, she also voted three times for her comatose sister.   She admitted to intentional violations of election law, she was convicted of voter fraud – and last week she was heralded by Al Sharpton and Democrats as a role model to be emulated..

OHIO – A Hamilton County poll worker who has been held up nationally as an example of voter fraud took the stage at a local voting rights rally – outraging Republicans and dismaying even top local Democrats.
The Rev. Al Sharpton, keynote speaker at Thursday’s rally to kick-off the campaign for an Ohio Voters’ Bill of Rights Ohio Constitutional amendment, even hugged Melowese Richardson.
Richardson, a Democrat, was convicted of voter fraud after using her position as poll worker to vote more than once in the 2012 presidential election. She got a five year prison term, but was released earlier this month after local Democratic activists pressed for a fairer term. (more…)

As if we needed further evidence of how stupid the liberal, and liberally minded, media are – look at what happens when reality transmits truth and they find themselves incapable to understand business cycles. 

They just don’t understand how taxes are paid – yet they pontificate ad infinitum about them.   Idiots.  Just idiots.

Small business owners have to file quarterly estimated tax payments – yes, this tax year, 2014 we begin paying the ObamaCare compliance tax for 2015.

(Via Breitbart)  A White House aide set off a stampede of liberal media criticism for Internet news pioneer Matt Drudge over Obamacare – but his critics don’t seem to understand how small businesses pay taxes.
The brouhaha started when Drudge tweeted, “Just paid the Obamacare penalty for not ‘getting covered’… I’M CALLING IT A LIBERTY TAX.”

Jesse Lee, the Director of Progressive Media at Barack Obama’s White House, responded that that was a “Flat lie, no fee for previous year,” adding, “Scary how much influence he once had.”
Lee’s response to Drudge set off a firestorm in the liberal media, with many mainstream media and left-wing reporters countering him on Twitter and in their own articles to claim he does not have to pay Obamacare’s Individual Mandate tax until next year. (more…)

Make no mistake about it, I’ve followed this relationship closely for 7 years – Prime Minister Recep Erdogan and U.S. President Obama are absolute best friends.  During all G-20 meetings they hang out together one-on-one during free time.   Bestest pals.
TURKEY – Turkey has blocked access to Twitter, hours after Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan vowed to close down the social media platform.
“We now have a court order. We’ll eradicate Twitter. I don’t care what the international community says. Everyone will witness the power of the Turkish Republic,” Erdoğan said at his campaign rally in the western city of Bursa on March 20, 10 days before the upcoming local elections.
The Press Advisory of the Prime Ministry later clarified Erdoğan’s statement, arguing that Twitter officials currently “ignore” some court rulings in Turkey, which order the social media platform to “remove some links” as per the complaints filed by Turkish citizens.  (read more)

That headline is not a joke folks.    By now everyone should be well acquainted with the term “disparate impact”, and how it’s being used.  This border fence application is just another example of the irrational logic within the legal argument of “disparate impact”.
In essence the fence is unlawful because: 

A fence constructed to secure the Southern U.S. border would result in more Hispanics being impeded or blocked, as a percentage of all illegal border crossers, than non-Hispanics.    Therefore the fence has a disparate impact on Hispanics and it’s use is illegal.

FEDERAL RULING – A Homeland Security initiative to put fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border could discriminate against minorities, according to an Obama-appointed federal judge who’s ruled that the congressionally-approved project may have a “disparate impact on lower-income minority communities.”
This of course means that protecting the porous—and increasingly violent—southern border is politically incorrect. At least that’s what the public college professor at the center of the case is working to prove and this month she got help from a sympathetic federal judge. (more…)

Typical leftist propaganda trying to motivate their base….

CHICAGO – Mothers Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, an organization funded by billionaire Michael R. Bloomberg, is falsely claiming a victory for forcing a billboard company to take down a Slide Fire advertisement in Chicago.

The truth is that the manufacturer contracted for the billboard to stay up for only two months
A publicist for Mothers Demand Action emailed me Tuesday saying, “The controversial billboard from rifle company Slide Fire (that you’ve written about before) came down Tuesday following a campaign from Chicago members of Moms Demand Action.” (more…)

According to New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, blacks and minorities in New York are not capable of passing this test.    Because the blacks and minority applicants cannot pass the test it falls under the new legalese term of creating a “disparate impact’.   Therefore the test itself is racist.   Consequently he is paying $98,000,000 to all the black and minority applicants who tried to become NYC Firefighters yet failed the test.
Decide for yourself:

WASHINGTON DC – Treasury Department officials didn’t check to make sure they had the legal authority to delay an Obamacare mandate before issuing guidance that flouted the text of the law, a department official told House investigators.
Treasury Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy Mark Mazur, who announced the employer mandate delay in a blog post, told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that he didn’t remember anyone considering the legal basis for the delay.
“Did anyone in the Department of the Treasury inquire into the legal authority for the delays?” Mazur was asked.
“I don’t recall anything along those lines, no,” he replied. He gave a similar answer when asked about the IRS and the Executive Office of the President.  (read more)

Michelle Obama arrived in China on Thursday  for a weeklong visit that will steer  clear of politics and instead focusing on education and community.

The First Lady arrived in Beijing today,  accompanied by  daughters Sasha and Malia as well as her mother Marian  Robinson.   On Friday, she is to spend the day with Peng  Liyuan, the wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, something which diplomats hope  will build bridges between the two countries.

Last week, a relatively unknown street artist named SABO plastered the progressive streets of Beverly Hills, California with 25 posters depicting a well-muscled and tatted up Ted Cruz smoking a cigarette. If you want new experience, you may try vape and have it here at devinedist.com. where they offer Wholesale vapor juice. You also must try marijuana vaporizers & vape products on migvapor.com for the best alternative smoke products. He titled it “Ted Cruz’s So-Cal ‘Blacklisted and Loving It’ Tour.”  Overnight the story went viral and SABO became the talk of the twitterverse.   People were demanding to know who this outrageously edgy new artist was.  I discovered SABO when I read one of his comments at the LA Taco, then followed the link back to his Facebook page.  Interesting thing…he also likes to type all of his comments in caps.  He’s not shouting, it’s just his style.
