Gowdy Takes on IRS

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) hit IRS Commissioner John Koskinen with a question the bureaucrat couldn't answer Monday: "You have already said multiple times today that there was no evidence that you found of any criminal wrongdoing," Gowdy said. "I want you to tell me what criminal statutes you have evaluated." Befuddled, Koskinen replied, "I have not looked at any." Gowdy fired back, "Well then how can you possibly tell our fellow citizens that there's not criminal wrongdoing if you don't even know what statutes to look at?" Gowdy repeated the question, and Koskinen again admitted, "I reviewed no criminal statutes." The only hope for the IRS is smoke and mirrors. We're glad at least Gowdy isn't going to take it.

Lame Excuses to the IRS

Admit it: After the IRS's excuse that it "lost" Lois Lerner's emails, you wanted to, come tax time, tell the IRS that your hard drive crashed too, so it shouldn't expect your check. A bill in the U.S. House would allow just that. Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) introduced "The Dog Ate My Tax Receipts Act" (TDAMTRA), a bill that allows taxpayers to use the same lame excuses as the IRS. In a statement, Stockman said, "The United States was founded on the belief government is subservient and accountable to the people. Taxpayers shouldn't be expected to follow laws the Obama administration refuses to follow themselves. Taxpayers should be allowed to offer the same flimsy, obviously made-up excuses the Obama administration uses." Among the excuses, taxpayers could say they "Traded documents for five terrorists" or that documents were left "in [a] gun case sold to Mexican drug lords." Say, that sounds like the list we made two days before Stockman introduced his bill. More...

VA Study Shows Disarray

Sen. Tom Coburn, M.D, (R-OK) released a study on the state of the Veterans Affairs hospitals. It shows a culture where VA employees behave as if they are above the law and mismanage billions of dollars, while Congress is absent from overseeing the bureaucracy. Since 2001, the hospital system has paid out nearly $1 billion in malpractice claims, according to the study titled "Friendly Fire: Death, Delay and Dismay at The VA." More than 1,000 veterans have allegedly died due to VA negligence. "This reports shows the problems at the VA are worse than anyone imagined," Coburn said. "The scope of the VA's incompetence -- and Congress' indifferent oversight -- is breathtaking and disturbing. This investigation found the problems at the VA are far deeper than just scheduling. ... As is typical with any bureaucracy, the excuse for not being able to meet goals is a lack of resources. But this is not the case at the VA where spending has increased rapidly in recent years."

Who Pays ObamaCare's Tab?

On Monday, Gallup said citizens using the ObamaCare exchanges to get health insurance are less healthy than the national average. Fifty percent of the population is healthy -- the definition of average -- while only 38% of the new ObamaCare enrollees are of average health or better. The numbers last week show the vast majority of these plans, about 90%, are subsidized by the great Nanny, who picks up 76% of the health care bill for these new enrollees. But this is just the beginning. The Daily Signal reports that only 3.4 million of the eight million people to sign up for ObamaCare did not have health insurance in the past -- the government hoped for 26 million. Currently, the Obama administration is picking up the tab while the healthy are keeping their distance. In the coming months, we can expect to see premiums rise with the added burden. More...

9.4 Jobs

Perhaps Barack Obama slipped, or perhaps he merely stated what reality feels like when it comes to the economy and employment. Trying to boast of his economic record, he said, "[O]ur businesses have created jobs for 51 consecutive months, 9.4 new jobs in all. But we all know somebody out there still looking for work." We all know Obamanomics have utterly failed to restart our economy. Last quarter's GDP growth was negative, while unemployment remains persistently high. So while 9.4 jobs isn't literally accurate, it sure belies the feeling.

Will Iraq Be Obama's Viet Nam?

300 SOF advisors. Refusing to take the fight to the enemy. An enemy that looks like an LIP. The differences are negligable. The enemy in Viet Nam was communism. We were attempting to stop the spread of communism. The differences in the enemy are stark and definable. The enemy in Iraq will murder indiscriminately without compunction or remorse and for no reason other than you have a different view of the same ridiculous belief system. Communists killed to instill fear and insure compliance. Radical islamists kill because they like it.

Susan Katz Keating: An Underground Meeting and an Update on Benghazi: "Assets Were in Motion"

Like we always knew they were. On the tarmac ready to mount up and dustoff. Someone said no. Who said NO?

Susan Katz Keating: Did Valerie Jarrett Issue the Stand-Down Order for Benghazi Rescue Effort?

And if she did, under whose authority? She has no authority to control military assets. She's a damn civilian lawyer holding an un-elected position in Dear Leader's regime.

Special Operations Speaks

This is short notice for such a major event, but it has to be done.

You see, Special Operations Speaks www.specialoperationsspeaks.com has just been asked by Congressman Steve Stockman to mount an event to put pressure on the House of Representatives (and especially Speaker Boehner!) to form a select committee to investigate the tragedy that was Benghazi.

As a first step toward causing Congress to get serious about assigning responsibility for what happened at Benghazi, we are organizing a rally at Cong. Stockman’s request that will be held on the steps of the US Capitol at noon, Tuesday, July 23, 2013.  That rally will hear words from a number of patriots, including Cong. Stockman and Cong. Louie Gohmert, both of whom have been very supportive of our efforts to answer Hillary Clinton’s heartless answer to a Senator’s question about the men who died at Benghazi: “What difference does it make?”

 Be with us next week as we demonstrate to Hillary and others like her “what difference it makes.”  Bring yourself, a carload, or a busload, but be there.

Thousands of you showed up to protect the Vietnam Wall in 2007; please help us demonstrate that we will not tolerate the murder-by-neglect of four of America’s finest on September 12, 2012.  Please help us send a message to our nation’s leaders that we demand full accountability for this national crime.

Citizenship Can Be Revoked

I'm going to have my say and then you can read what Ted Nugent wrote. I'm sure this will piss off some people but hey, you should learn to live with disappointment.

The islamist whackjob who survived the shootout with LEO's in Massachuesetts gave up his right to any protections under the Constitution because of one simple fact: he lied when he took the oath of citizenship. He took that oath knowing he was going to, at some point in the near future, set explosive devices and kill Americans. He took that oath under false pretenses and for purposes of evasion, which is in direct violation of the oath. He should have been shot down in the street like the rabid dog he is.
 
Time to stretch neck of jihadist punk
by Ted Nugent

If the bombing, killings and maiming of Bostonians by the two voodoo whack-job jihadists in Boston isn’t maddening enough, the next tsunami of insults should drive any American addicted to common sense crazy. The jihadist punk in custody is obviously guilty of committing murder, terrorist acts and a whole book of other crimes, but he won’t be brought to justice. Justice is supposed to be swift. At least that’s how our Founding Fathers thought it should be.

Imagine if this jihadist punk had basically committed the same crimes 150 years ago. He would have been swinging from an oak tree in Boston Common no longer than 60 days from the date of his arrest. That would be justice.

But that won’t happen to this guilty voodoo vermin. If he’s ever executed, it will be many years from now after our so-called justice system goes through its strange eternal, time-wasting, court-and-lawyer maneuvers from hell. The ugly truth is that by the time this voodoo punk is executed, America will probably have had to deal with any number of other bombings and killings by other voodoo nuts.

He probably won’t go to trial for more than a year due to court-sanctioned delays. Once he’s found guilty, he will be afforded any number of appeals that will take more years, possibly more than a decade. The young voodoo nut has got a long life in front of him, thanks to America’s screwed-up justice system.

A perfect example of justice delayed is terminal voodoo mass murderer Nidal Malik Hasan, who killed 13 soldiers and wounded 32 others at Fort Hood in 2009. Allahu Akbar, my ass.
This voodoo punk’s trial is finally set to begin on May 29 of this year – almost four long years after he shouted “Allahu Akbar” and began his voodoo-inspired rampage in yet another gun-free zone.

This four-year dastardly delay to bring this guilty punk to justice is damnable. What’s equally damnable is that our Defense Department categorizes his slaughter rampage as “workplace violence,” rather the overtly obvious act of voodoo terrorism that everyone knows it was. Workplace violence? Talk about spitting on the graves of our dead heroes.

Hasan is a voodoo terrorist who should have been the feature attraction at a neck-stretching party on the grounds of Fort Hood years ago. I would have supplied the rope, the lumber for the gallows and gladly pulled the hatch on this soulless rabid dog.

There is no excuse for constant delays and years of appeals when there is overwhelming and obvious guilt.

This isn’t justice – it’s a joke.

Justice occurred in 1865 when the all the conspirators who assisted John Wilkes Booth in
assassinating President Lincoln had their necks stretched less than three months after Booth killed President Lincoln.

Had our modern system of justice been in play in 1865, Booth’s conspirators would have died in prison of old age instead of having their necks properly stretched.

There is nothing swift or just about our justice system. Turtles are speed demons compared to American jurisprudence, which has been hijacked by soulless lawyers and is being terrorized by years and years of intentionally engineered costly delays.

By the time the Boston voodoo punk’s trials, appeals and maneuvering are all exhausted and he’s finally sent to voodoo land, this legal charade will have cost the American taxpayers tens of millions of dollars. More unnecessary insults.

My dream of real justice would be a July 4 celebration of stringing this son-of-a-b-tch up in the Boston Common and letting the crows pick on his rotting flesh.

There will be no swift justice for the Boston voodoo punk. He’s got a long life ahead of him. How pathetic.
