Bill Clinton To Endorse Rangel, SURPRISE!
Apr 22, 2014 Commentary
Bill Clinton will endorse New York’s Charlie Rangel for his 23rd term. Rangel, as you might recall, is a tax cheat and has ethical problems to boot. He went through some rough times because of his illegal activities but Bill is backing him. It makes sense, in a way, because criminals tend to stick together.
Rangel supported Clinton through his impeachment and backed Hillary for her Senate run as well as her run against Obama for the presidency.
Bill is just returning the favor and it comes at an important time for Rangel because he has a strong challenger in the race.
State Senator Adriano Espaillat ran against Rangel two years ago and nearly beat him and how he is running again.
Perhaps the people of this Congressional District can get past the star power of Clinton and put country ahead of the politics. If they do Rangel will be shown the door.
Now there is nothing wrong with Clinton backing Rangel and there is nothing wrong with people voting for him absent wrongdoing.
But Rangel is a criminal and he is living large at the expense of the American people despite his criminal activity.
I guess ranchers who defend against Harry Reid’s shady deals are the only folks we can’t have breaking the law. I mean, has Harry ever said that we can’t have American Congressmen breaking the law?
Then again, Reid is a master lawbreaker as well.
All these old turds stick together and stink up the entire place.
Nothing would be sweeter than seeing Rangel lose big after Clinton’s endorsement.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Obama Consults With Mental Midgets From MSNBC
Dec 5, 2012 Political
The United States is in a financial crisis and the budget deal struck in 2010 is ready to rear its ugly head as the Bush era tax cuts expire and automatic budget cuts go into effect. While I think that it would be better to allow it to take place rather than give in to higher taxes and no cuts my opinion does not really count much in the process.
But, the opinion of Obama should count and he should be involved in the process. One would think he would seek out the council of people who actually know economics, like say Paul Ryan. Ryan has a degree in economics and is a good numbers person. Obama has not sought Ryan’s opinion. In fact, he has demonized Ryan and his plans.
So in between the golf games and the endless campaigning (hey Barry, you allegedly won so get to work) Obama has decided to avail himself to the process. If a deal is to be done (and I think he would be happy going over the so called fiscal cliff and blaming Republicans) then Obama wants it done soon because he and his family are going on a taxpayer funded 4 MILLION dollar vacation at the end of the year.
Obama has decided to get the opinions of some real budgetary heavy weights from MSNBC. Yes, Barack Obama had Al Sharpton, Rachael Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell in the West Wing to discuss tax rates.
What do any of these mouthpieces of the Democrat Party know about any of this? What kind of objective opinion can they provide given that they are shills for Obama and have all espoused raising taxes on the people who pay most of the federal income taxes to begin with.
[note]Yes, everyone who earns income pays Social Security and Medicare taxes (which used to be called insurance and not taxes) but this is ostensibly paid for one’s own future. They are paying for their future retirement and medical care. The fact that government wastes the money has nothing to do with the reality that they are paying a small portion for their future. In fact, most will get more than they ever paid in thanks to higher earners who pay more.[/note]
I find it particularly strange that Sharpton is involved given that he has not paid his fair share. Big Al owes 3.7 MILLION dollars in taxes and penalties because he has not paid his fair share. He is all about screaming for others to pay but, like any liberal, he does not want to pay what he owes. Hell, Sharpton is more qualified to be Treasury Secretary than to give advice on tax rates (see Tax Cheat Tim Geithner).
Barack Obama does not have a clue. He should be working with his Democrats to provide meaningful discussion on the process. He should be looking for ways to cut spending while leaving tax rates alone unless he is in favor of LOWERING them. Lower rates will stimulate growth and spending and result in more revenue to the Treasury. If they don’t spend the additional money like they always do then we can use it to pay the bills and begin to retire the debt.
These are all items that can be discussed but in order to have any meaningful discussion the talks have to be with people who a) know what they are talking about and b) are actual involvement or influence in the process.
The Democrat operatives at MSNBC have no influence in the process and they certainly do not know what they are talking about.
The fact that Obama would insult Ryan and ignore his opinion and instead seek out O’Donnell, Sharpton and Maddow is just another demonstration of why Obama is the least qualified person to run this country (or anything for that matter). He is out of his league.
But at least by hanging with these hacks he can at least appear to be the brightest in the room…
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

More Little Timmy Geithners Got Stimulus Money
Jun 27, 2012 Political
The Federal Government runs a lot of programs and it continually looks for more and more to get involved in. While government tells us that it is capable of running things it fails us when it comes to running things well. Every program in the government has waste, fraud, and abuse. The programs get so big and have so many layers of red tape that money is wasted left and right and the government only finds out (if it ever finds out) after millions of dollars have been lost.
The Government Accounting Office released a report that indicated that 1.6 BILLION dollars in Stimulus money went to people who should not have received it. The money was designed to help people who were behind on their mortgages but they had to be current on their taxes. No one bothered to check and 1.6 BILLION dollars of taxpayer money went to people who, like Tim Geithner, cheated on their taxes (whether they committed fraud or just decided not to pay it is still cheating the government out of what is due).
Not only are these people, like the bottom 49% of wage earners, unpatriotic (VP Biden said it was patriotic to pay taxes), they scammed the federal government and the federal government was unable to detect the scam until after BILLIONS had been lost.
Does anyone really think the government will get that money back? It went to people who did not pay taxes in the first place so it is unlikely they would pay anything else they might owe.
Interestingly, those folks were not detected as tax cheats by the government’s money Mafioso, the IRS. In other words, not only did the government NOT detect that the money was going to tax cheats, it did not detect that these folks were tax cheats when taxes were filed.
Once again, government does not run things well.
The Stimulus was a waste of money as any thinking being knew it would be. It is bad enough that the waste of money known as the Stimulus happened in the first place but to have it wasted on people to whom it should not have gone and who are not paying their taxes is ridiculous.
I thought Vice President Joe Biden, Sheriff Joe as it were (not the real Sheriff Joe who actually follows the law) was supposed to be the public’s watchdog. I thought he was supposed to track the money and ensure that it was not wasted.
We need smaller government and we need government to stay out of things it is not designed to “manage”.
Really, does anyone think that a government that can’t find tax evaders and can’t track money that was not supposed to go to such people will be able to ensure there is no waste and fraud in a government run healthcare scheme (Obamacare) that will involve TRILLIONS of dollars?
Hell, Medicare has been around for decades. It has cost many multiples of what was originally estimated (no government estimate is ever right) and it has had BILLIONS in waste over the decades including a recent discovery of fraud worth 4.2 MILLION dollars. It involved penis pumps and seems appropriate considering what happens to taxpayers every time government runs a program.
Remember, the Stimulus (like all Obama spending) is like the Obama Meal. You order and someone behind you has to pay for it…
I recommend that people regularly check in with Citizens Against Government Waste.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Get It While It’s Hot
May 7, 2009 Political
Ooooh baby- have we got a rogue’s gallery of miscreants, liars, thieves, and overall ignorant people here, and the list grows every day.
It blows me away that the newspapers, by and large, either ignore these problems, or bury them deep in the paper, hoping that people won’t read that far.
Let’s start with the big three- Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and Chuck Schumer, all of these Democrats on either the House Finance Committee,or the Senate Banking Committee, and all of them, along with other, less important ones like Maxine Waters, were responsible for the sub- prime meltdown, by refusing to add regulations to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Since 1997, Barney Frank, the Elmer Fudd of the House Finance committee, has repeatedly blocked any and all attempts at reform for these lending entities, just so they could claim (falsely) that they were able to put poor people into houses.
OK, technically these poor people got the houses, but when they couldn’t afford them, they had to move out, or file for bankruptcy- not a good outcome.
Then, Chris Dodd has the Countrywide scandal, where he got sweetheart deals on mortgages that violate his oath, if obviously not his ambiguous ethics.
Now, let’s talk taxes, since the Democrats seem to be, as a group, extremely allergic to paying any- no wonder we have a budget problem. Charlie Rangel, who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee, which sets our tax rate and writes the ridiculous tax code, can’t seem to get his taxes straight, believing that any rent he gets from several properties in New York is not income. In addition, the cars he owns, and the ones he leases, are also subject to taxation, contrary to his beliefs.
Tom Dashle, Nancy Kilefer, Tim Geithner- all have had tax troubles that in at least two cases, led to the derailing of their nominations to the Barama cabinet. In Geithner’s case, however, he was made the head of the TReasury, which runs the IRS. This is like hiring a serial child rapist to baby sit your daughter. Seriously.
And Rhomboid Emmanuel, the Prez’ favorite homie, doesn’t seem to know the tax code either. The man who is Chief of Staff to the President feels that living rent- free, thanks to a political donor, is not crossing an ethical if not a legal line, but he isn’t even being investigated here. If this was a Republican, oh the stories you would hear and read.
And then there’s Murtha- this sorry excuse of a man is all about the graft- we cannot even call these “earmarks” with a straight face. He gets his nephew a no- bid contract- for what? we don’t know yet. The man has his own airport, built with tax dollars. This airport serves about twenty people a WEEK, and yet it has a state of the art radar station that can’t be used, because there is no one who is qualified to use this machinery. This airport has cost around 100 million over the years, and there has been NO accountability for where the money went. Did any of this money line Jackie Murtha’s pockets? Probably, but there has been no investigation, because Democrats really do not care about the law, or the people, or anything but themselves.
Witness, if you will, the sorry case of William Jefferson. The FBI have evidence of kickbacks, and even did a sting on this crook. Jefferson even had 90,000 dollars in his freezer, in a tin foil wrapped bundle. OK, that doesn’t look guilty? But the frustrating thing is that this man may not be prosecuted, or if so,receive a slap on his wrist, because the Democrats are in power now, and with the active collusion of the media, they seek to control the embarrassing moments in their overt power grab.
Some moments they cannot hide, such as the Prez’ lies, and they are legion. He promised to be transparent in his actions- he lied. He promised to eliminate the income tax for all seniors making less than $50,000 a year- he lied. He promised a $3,000 tax credit for small businesses- he lied through his teeth. He promised that he would ELIMINATE earmarks, then revised his statement- he lied, lied, lied.
Barama called presidential “signing statements” unconstitutional, then attached one of his own to a $410 billion spending bill. Is that a lie? I think so- I do know that it is HYPOCRITICAL.
I could keep on going, for at least another thousand words, and not repeat any lies that Barama has told the American public. The list is seemingly endless. The man lies like Josef Goebbels, the Nazi propagandist, who once said that if you tell a lie big enough, and you repeat it often enough, it becomes the perceived truth. This is Barama’s philosophy, unfortunately. It astounds me that more people haven’t figured this out- I have to believe that there are a lot of people who are just oblivious to the politics that will affect them, until they get hit with all these proposed restrictions.
Much like the turtle crossing the road, they are oblivious to the traffic, until they are run over.
Then, of course, it is too late.

IRS Agent Not Too Bright
Apr 1, 2009 Political
A 43-year-old IRS agent named Jim H. Liu from California has admitted that he filed a false tax return by claiming a loss on the sale of property on which he actually made a profit. This guy actually admitted that he did this deliberately after two months of expert instruction explaining how to avoid taxes. Nominee after nominee for the Obama administration has stepped up to explain that taxes were not paid and that the slight was merely an oversight. Tim Geithner deliberately failed to pay his taxes and he is now in charge of collecting them. He is even threatening those who have failed to pay their taxes. Now this is the way it is done.
Obama’s newest nominee for Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, has admitted that she made a mistake on her taxes and she paid around $7000 plus interest to clear the matter up. She follows Tom Daschle who failed to pay his taxes.
Liu faces three years in prison (though there is no indication he will get that) for cheating on his taxes.
If he had been a nominee for the Obama administration he would have gotten the job, kiss, kiss, all forgotten.
