Smidgenesque: Former IRS Chief Lois Lerner Refuses To Testify Before Congress….

Remember it was President Obama who said there was not even a “smidgen” of corruption in the IRS targeting of conservative groups.

lois lernerWASHINGTON DC – The attorney for Lois Lerner, a central figure in the IRS scandal, said Wednesday his client will not comply with a request to return to Capitol Hill next week to testify.

Attorney William Taylor said Lerner, who resigned last year as the agency’s tax-exempt organizations chief, will return only if compelled by a federal court or if given immunity for her testimony.

Taylor stated his position in a letter to Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. He was responding to a letter Tuesday from Issa saying, in part, that Lerner’s testimony remains “critical to the committee’s investigation.” (more…)

The New York Gun Stasi – Putnam County officer owned unregistered guns

Germanys former Ministry of State Security –  “Stasi”:  One of Stasi’s main tasks was spying on the population, mainly through a vast network of citizens turned informants.

How does pre-1990’s East German “Stasi” apply to modern 2014 New York ?   The answer is within the following article:

HandgunYORKTOWN — A Putnam County special patrol officer resigned from his position Friday, one day after being accused of illegally possessing weapons, authorities said.

Steven P. Zagorski, a former Putnam Valley police officer who worked as a Putnam County Sheriff’s deputy before retiring in 2004, was arrested by Yorktown police about 5:45 p.m. Thursday after a search of his home yielded several unregistered guns, Yorktown police said.

Zagorski, who has more than 30 years in law enforcement, had most recently been working as a special patrol officer assigned to the Putnam County Board of Elections in Carmel, officials said. Putnam County Sheriff’s Capt. William McNamara said Zagorski’s resignation was accepted.

McNamara said his office began investigating Zagorski last month after receiving information that the 66-year-old illegally owned several guns.

Dem’s On The Run – North Carolina Senator Kay Hagen Announces Re-election Bid Then Quickly Runs Away From ObamaCare Questions…

NORTH CAROLINA – On Monday, Sen. Kay Hagan (D-N.C). repeatedly refused to answer a simple question on when she knew people wouldn’t be able to keep their current plans under Obamacare.

Sen. Hagan promised on at least 24 separate occasions people in North Carolina would be able to keep their current health care plan — once Obamacare went into effect — if they wished to do so.

Unbelievable – Miami Dade’s Alberto Carvalho Wins National School Superintendent of The Year Award – Think About It….

Yeah, think about it.   What lengths do you think these people will go to in their efforts to avoid sunlight ?   Carvalho is deeply connected to the political machine.  He turned down the position of Federal Asst. Secretary of Education – He’s connected deeply to both the President and First lady, as well as Eric Holder.  He’s also deeply politically attached to FL State Attorney General Pam Bondi.  

This is the man who created the M-DSPD issues which led to illegal diversionary programs in Miami-Dade Schools and eventually Trayvon Martin’s death…..  It just sickens me to see this guys get away with this, like – you have no idea.

MIAMI-DADE – Riding a cresting wave of accolades, Miami-Dade Superintendent Alberto Carvalho has been named the country’s top schools chief.

Alberto CarvalhoThe School Superintendents Association announced in Nashville Thursday that Carvalho had won the 2014 National Superintendent of the Year. Carvalho, who attended the event with two school board members, said he was “humbled and honored” and as he accepted his award his first thoughts were of his father.

The award, given to one of the country’s 49 state superintendents of the year, is likely to further ever-present speculation about whether Carvalho will seek public office or a job on a bigger stage. But Carvalho said in an interview Thursday evening that he remains as focused as ever on working for the 350,000 students of Miami-Dade County. (more…)

Dramatic Footage Of Police Shooting With Eerie Similarities To Zimmerman Events – Shooting Justified By Grand Jury – Injuries Similar To George Zimmerman….

Information provided from both Legal Insurrection and Kansas City Star:

(Legal Insurrection) The parallels to the Zimmerman defensive shooting are striking, including the fact that the attacker was unarmed, the relative positions of the attacker and the defender, the beating of the defender’s head against a concrete sidewalk threatening loss of consciousness, the failure of observers to provide assistance, and the relative lack of injuries to the attacker other than the bullet wound inflicted in self-defense.

Kansas City Star – […] “He then somehow flipped me over onto my back and the subject began punching me on the left side of my face and head,” Hubbard told detectives. “He was on top of me and I was in an extremely vulnerable position and I was exhausted from the struggle with the suspect.

“I don’t know how many times he struck me, but I started to black out and saw lines across my eyes. He continued to strike me and I started to lose consciousness and I believed the suspect was not going to stop hitting me until he killed me. (more…)
