Rebranding Hillary
By Marion Algier – Ask Marion
The remaking of Hillary Clinton is in full force!
[…] Hillaryville should be imploding and even though Hillary does ‘not’ deserve our admiration nor another shot at the Presidency, the left is sure that Hillary Clinton will be the 2016 Democrat Presidential candidate. Regardless of the truth about Hillary’s disgraceful handling of and decisions during the Benghazi crisis and the entire surrounding operation; her involvement in gun-walking; her questionable involvement with the Muslim Brotherhood… hence her relationship with her senior staffer, Huma Abedin Weiner… yes Mrs. Anthony Weiner; and her role in promoting several major anti-Constitution pro-UN treaties and programs including the UN Small Arms Treaty and the Rights of the Child Treaty which essentially aim to transfer rights and powers of the Constitution, Americans and American parents to the United Nations she is at the top of the Democrat Party’s list of 2016 presidential candidates and the media is and will continue to follow their lead.
Facts Don’t Lie

Rand Paul Destroyed Hillary Clinton Over Benghazi-Gate During Capitol Hill Press Conference
Remember those who died in the Benghazi attacks in service of the United States… and all the unanswered questions… It does make a difference!! I bet if it were Chelsea left behind in Benghazi it would make a huge difference to Hillary!!
The left is committed to rebuilding Hillary from a sinner to a saint including a campaign of whitewashing the Clinton past (both Bill and Hillary’s) and the mainstream media the left controls will be airing cherry picked specials on both the Clintons beginning with an upcoming NBC miniseries where Hillary will be played by Diane Lane, the daughter-in-law of uber-liberal Barbra Streisand and wife of Josh Brolin who starred in the less than complementary film W./[Blu-ray] about George W. Bush; what could go wrong? The complicit media will spin the Clinton story to Hillary’s benefit, unlike the way they portrayed the Reagans in the recent Lee Daniels’s movie, The Butler, where ‘Hanoi’ Jane was purposely cast as First Lady Nancy Reagan and unlike the jour’no’lists who purposely colluded as part of a mission to destroy Sarah Palin with lies and fabrications.

Charles Krauthammer recently appeared on The Factor predicting that a 2016 Hillary Presidential bid will not be easy and that she is not a shoe in. The “only memorable thing about Clinton as Secretary of State was her 'what difference does it make' catastrophe” when she testified before Congress on Benghazi, said Krauthammer.
Is Hillary Clinton already campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination? Charles Krauthammer doesn’t think she’s a shoe-in candidate. He told Bill O’Reilly on The Factor, “First of all, let’s remember she’s not exactly invincible. She was the anointed one before Barack Obama came along.”
He said the Republican Party has a stronger argument because the country hasn’t done well under President Obama. Krauthammer cited Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Chris Christie and Jeb Bush as some of the possible opponents to take on Clinton.
O’Reilly wasn’t as convinced, saying that Clinton is almost like an incumbent. But Krauthammer said that doesn’t mean a Republican candidate won’t win in the end. He said part of the GOP’s job will be de-mythologizing Clinton.
Krauthammer also took issue with Clinton’s record as Secretary of State. “Name me one thing she accomplished in the four years. […] The only thing that came out of her Secretary of State period was a memorable line, ‘what difference does it make,’ about the Benghazi catastrophe – the first slaying of an American ambassador in three decades.”
Moreover, “people get tired of a party in power,” Krauthammer said. “Obama’s going to have an unsuccessful second term. The economy’s going to be anemic. It’s not going to be that easy for a Democrat to say eight more years.”
Barack and Hillary in 2008 during the primaries… as they slipped away to a clandestine meeting of the power elite where many feel the decision was made to run Obama instead of Hillary
Hillary and Barack now (2012 – 2013)… a MUCH worn Hillary
“The left progressive Democrat party is already hot and heavy into trying to rehab the old sow’s ear Hillary, even with all the scandals, into a silk purse they can (and will if America doesn’t wake up) sell to Americans and far too many women who have long been sold a bag of tainted goods about Hillary Clinton and feminism in general.” —Reformed Woman
And Mark Levin noted: Hillary Clinton Is Barack Obama In A Dress (see video). She is just smarter… which will make her more dangerous. Let us remember that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have the same mentor.
Obama in a Dress….
Even the NY Times Took a Hard Look at the Clinton Foundation in a recent piece. And many are questioning the early unofficial start of the Clinton campaign. It leaves a lot of time for people to dig out the dirt, and there is plenty on the Clintons; plus there is the burnout factor. Beginning her campaign this early may leave many looking for someone new, even if the truth doesn’t turn them away, by 2016.
You might want to read Books: The Shadow Party: How George Soros, Hillary Clinton, and Sixties Radicals Seized Control of the Democratic Party (Kindle) and Hillary Clinton Nude: Naked Ambition, Hillary Clinton And America's Demise (Kindle) as a balance to the MSM news, miniseries and Clinton specials that will be thrown your way between now and 2014 and intensified after that. The left is sure America will buy whatever they sell, from harmful drugs, to GMO foods, to cover-ups on an ever-growing list of scandals, to lies about and purposeful negative intervention of anyone who stands up to them… and of course to another 8-years of the Clintons. (Propaganda/Kindle by Edward Bernays is a must read for everyone). […] The Progressive Democrat Party leadership, actually the power elite (on both sides), think average Americans are stupid or at least uninformed and disinterested enough for them to steer us in any direction they see fit.
2016 just could turn out to be the year of The Election of the First Female President of the United States and Hillary Clinton will do anything to make sure it is her. So now is the time for people with options and solutions to step up and for the rest of us to educate ourselves!

The POTUS’s Illegal Actions: A 36 Page Compendium… Commentary By Adina Kutnicki
Conscience of a Conservative: Once again, from Israel (with love for America) a few more facts on the crimes committed by Barack Hussein Obama against America. Why do the House Republicans continue to attack the fleas instead of the monster they live on? Just my humble opinion, but it seems that Obama, himself, is his own worst enemy and weakest link. The birth certificate scandal, alone, should be enough to send him to prison.
The POTUS’s Illegal Actions: A 36 Page Compendium… Commentary By Adina Kutnicki
Posted on July 27, 2013
Much time, energy and resources (calling in ‘favors’ isn’t a one way street) has been exerted detailing the unlawful actions of Obama Inc. Predictably, the abusive messages from their minions pour in fast and furious…who can keep up…but this is like water off a duck’s back…And yes, the buck does stop at the POTUS’s door, even though his handmaidens and surrogates are equally culpable.
Lest readers believe otherwise, there is no “malice aforethought” ( the term is generally applicable to the act of murder and its essence holds that of premeditation, but this is not the case herein, even though THEIR actions are fully pre-planned) in reporting their aggregate of malfeasance. In fact, it is downright depressing and degrading, as any patriot can attest. And just because one is an expatriate doesn’t make it any less compelling and onerous/burdensome.
But without having the goods none of the above would amount to squat. In fact, this blog’s compendium of research is so vast and pervasive it would take two lifetimes to completely do it justice. And yes, there are other topical-worthy matters – personal ones as well – which require this writer’s attention!
Hence, a short compilation will have to suffice. So commence with the latest, but start with this charge sheet: Indeed, in which universe is it legal to prop up community organizing grads at taxpayer expense? And with a regime gone wild, aren’t the abuses at the IRS more than meets the eye, knowing full well that the agency holds the keys to Obamacare, as well as the taxpayer trough?
But why anyone is still shocked by their treachery is beyond comprehension, unless one is missing a few screws. And one needn’t be the sharpest tool in the shed either. Not at all. After all, there are so many poopy droppings, one can’t help but step in them. Yet to aid the process along, go back to this blog’s beginnings, precisely in August 2012, and the following was front and center: An anti-American POTUS runs an un-American campaign was meant to warn the readers of the disasters afoot, if the Radical-in-Chief managed to grab a second term!
Yet it is within Congress’s mandate/purview to rein them in, even if they are becoming more and more irrelevant – rubber stamp-like. And reports, per se, won’t cut it. Quick, decisive actions are mandatory, if America – as a Constitutional Republic – is to survive.
‘CONGRESSIONAL REPORT LISTS 36 PAGES OF OBAMA’S CRIMES’
AUGUST 17, 2010 BY Ben Johnson
Ben Johnson, Floyd ReportsCongressman Darrell Issa has produced a shocking new report detailing the Obama administration’s extensive use of taxpayer-funded propaganda, which he says breaks federal law. The report created for the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform details how the former Alinskyite community organizer has channeled the resources of the federal government — that is, your money — to create “a sophisticated propaganda and lobbying campaign” made up of “inappropriate and sometimes unlawful public relations and propaganda initiatives.” The highlights include:
- Using federal arts grants to spread Obama’s legislative message. Last August 10, administration officials held a conference call with National Endowment of the Arts grant recipients. Buffy Wicks, a college radical who worked in Valerie Jarrett‘s Office of Public Engagement, told the invitees, “we’re going to come at you with some specific ‘asks’ here,” specifically supporting Obama’s initiatives on health care, the environment, or energy. She suggested, “We wanted folks to connect…with federal agencies, with labor unions, progressive groups, face groups [faith groups, perhaps?], women’s groups, you name it.” Within 48 hours, no fewer than 21 arts organizations released a statement endorsing ObamaCare.
- The Dept. of Health and Human Services paid MIT economist Jonathan Gruber nearly $400,000 for various jobs. He did not disclose his employment by HHS while writing a string of op-eds, nor while testifying before the Senate in favor of, ObamaCare.
- The Justice Dept. hired Tracy Russo, the former blogger for John Edwards, to comment on internet articles or bulletin board messages that criticized Barack Obama and his agenda. She did this anonymously or used a pen name.
- A Dept. of Education officer used the White House email to send his colleagues eight bullet points to “communicate the merits of the President’s proposal with your members and their audiences.”
- The federal government “highly recommended” constructing highway signs that tout big government and advertise politicians (including Obama). (Watch the committee’s video on the subject here.)
- Obama attempted to enlist “voluntary” Hollywood propaganda for his proposals through the iParticipate campaign.
- Andy Griffith starred in a Medicare “update” that doubled as a commercial for Obama’s health care legislation. Not only is the PSAl propaganda, it is erroneous. A writer with the nonpartisan FactCheck.org remarked Griffith’s scripted “promise that ‘benefits will remain the same’ is just as fictional as the town of Mayberry.”
- The White House routinely drove traffic to websites that lobby for Obama’s legislation.
You can read the full report here.
Issa cites three separate federal statutes violated by the Obama administration and has called for a Government Accountability Office (GAO) to launch an investigation. If violations of the law are found, impeachment could follow.
It’s not bad enough the president is a megalomaniac who skirts the law to foist his far-Left agenda on the American people — he also uses your money to do it.”
A very capable rendition of what’s what can be found at Anti-Obama “Witch Hunts”…or WHICH Hunts?“. Western Center for Journalism, as usual, let’s it all hang out. NOT only that, but there appears to be a ‘smoking gun’, one which can bring the whole regime to its knees. Its essence is found within the so called ‘Birther‘ kerfuffle, one which is dismissed as crackpot-worthy. Not so fast. Recall, ‘The Teflon-One’ hired a slew of high priced lawyers to shield his documents from outing. Well and good. However, one of THEIR own resident experts, a forensics document examiner !, is jumping on board – the ‘Birther’ wagon. Holy crap.
And while it is heartening to realize that Rep Issa has led the charge sheet, it won’t matter a whit if Obama & gang are not behind bars, not unlike other Federal criminals. For if abusing tax payer funds (the tip of their crimes) in the service of radical, community organizing “ideals” – to make good on his/their promise to “transform” America – is not a criminal act, then what exactly rises to the definition?
Isn’t it crystal clear from all of the above, plus so much more, that bringing down America is their raison d’etre?

The Lois Lerner Defense
File it the next time the IRS calls you up…
Lois Lerner
By Mark Steyn
We have the president of the United States’ word as a gentleman that he knew nothing about the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of his enemies until he “learned about it from the same news reports that I think most people learned about this.”
Furthermore, although the commissioner of the IRS, Douglas Shulman, visited Obama’s White House no fewer than 157 times, which is 156 times more than his predecessor Mark Everson ever visited the White House, we know that this was for legitimate Easter-egg rolls, as he testified to Congress, and meetings to discuss Obamacare. The Easter Bunny, one should note, visits the White House two to four times as often as the average IRS commissioner did before Mr. Shulman came along. But you can’t make a health-care omelet without breaking Easter eggs: It is one of the many distinctive features of Obama-style “health” “care” “reform” that, while it has not led to the hiring of a single additional doctor, nurse, or hospital janitor, it did require the biggest expansion of the IRS since the Second World War. So, when he wasn’t rolling Easter eggs and advising the moppets on whether they needed to declare the luxury Belgian white chocolate balls with praline filling, he was participating in vital meetings on how many extra SWAT teams he was going to need to enforce the new colonoscopy non-compliance penalty.
Let us also overlook the excellent treatment received from the IRS by members of the president’s family. Although acting commissioner Steven Miller apologized for the “horrible customer service” conservative taxpayers had gotten, a gentleman by the name of Malik Obama received impeccable, express service when he took the precaution of mailing in his non-profit application from N’giya, Kenya, rather than notoriously slower mail processing centers such as Phoenix and Dallas. Malik, the brother of President Obama, runs the Barack H. Obama Foundation, named for the president’s father. On May 30, 2011, they applied for tax-exempt status, and had their approval signed less than a month later by Lois Lerner herself, and conveniently backdated by Lois to cover the two-and-a-half years the enterprising Malik had already been raking in “tax-deductible” donations from Americans. The Washington address of the Barack H. Obama Foundation appears to be bogus, and it’s not clear whether the funds are being used back in Kenya for anything other than supporting the famously lavish lifestyle of Malik and his twelve wives. Given that the IRS is not shy about asking American conservatives for Facebook posts and lists of who attends their meetings, Ms. Lerner surely would have been within her rights to ask Malik Obama about the “exclusive” photographs currently displayed on the Barack H. Obama Foundation website of a recent meeting in Sudan, one of only four countries the U.S. government designates as a “terrorist state,” and the Foundation’s apparently extensive association with the Sudanese president and blood-soaked genocidal war criminal Omar al-Bashir. Given that the IRS likes to ask conservative taxpayers whether their friends and relatives are planning on running for office, Ms. Lerner might like to ask Malik Obama when his friend President Bashir is planning on leaving office. After another quarter million corpses?
Whatever. Let’s take it as read that, when U.S. taxpayers wind up giving tax breaks to an entity linked to the butchers of Darfur, it’s pure coincidence that the racket turns out to be run by the president’s brother. Let’s accept that Malik Obama just got lucky that his letter landed on the desk of Lois Lerner, and that, when she backdated his application for two-and-a-half years, she’d momentarily forgotten that it’s illegal for her to backdate it more than two-and-a-quarter years. Indeed, let’s take the president at his word that the existence of this shadowy IRS entity working deep within the even shadowier U.S. Treasury planted in deep cover within the shadowiest conspiracy of them all, this murky hitherto unknown organization called “the Executive Branch,” that all this was news to him. What that means then is not that this or that elected politician is corrupt but that the government of the United States is corrupt.
There seems to be ever more evidence for that. Every day brings revelations that the IRS conservative crackdown went way beyond the Tea Party. McClatchy Newspapers reports that a woman known only as “Ms. Richards” in the Cincinnati office of the IRS told Coalition for Life of Iowa that their application for nonprofit status could only be approved if they signed a letter promising not to picket in front of Planned Parenthood. Mark Drabik, a military veteran, became politically active and started giving to conservative groups only to have the IRS challenge his church donations. Catherine Engelbrecht founded True the Vote to protect ballot integrity, and within a few months her family’s business, farm, and personal taxes had all attracted IRS audits. Hundreds and hundreds of groups were consigned to the purgatory of “pending” — a term for IRS customers not as favored as Malik Obama can stretch leisurely from six months to ten to twenty to thirty, and beyond. When the most lavishly funded government on the planet comes after you, eventual guilt or innocence is irrelevant: The process is the punishment.
I am an immigrant to this great land, and I love it, but I will make a small observation from my years in the United States which I hope won’t be taken the wrong way: Like citizens of almost all Western democracies in the 21st century, Americans are overly deferential to bureaucracy, but, in my observation, they are uniquely fearful of the state’s tax collectors to a degree I have never seen with Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs in London or equivalent agencies in Paris, Ottawa, Rome, Canberra. The IRS has, in American terms, extraordinary powers. It was, for example, amusing to see Lois Lerner plead the Fifth Amendment and exercise her constitutional right not to put herself at risk of self-incrimination. As the great Walter Williams pointed out the other day, every single American waives his Fifth Amendment rights every time he signs that tax return on April 15. Americans are fearless if some guy pulls some stunt in a shopping mall, but an IRS assault is brutal and unending. Many activists faded away, and the media began writing stories about how the Tea Party had peaked; they were over; they wouldn’t be a factor in 2012. And so it proved. As Rush Limbaugh pointed out the other day, the plan worked.
But, of course, there was no plan, was there? So let’s take Obama at his word that he had no idea all this was going on. In that case, he might like to take the lead in calling for the abolition of a corrupt agency and its grotesque tax code, and their replacement by a bureaucracy with more limited powers commensurate with a free society and a simplified tax regime with lower rates and thus fewer bewildering, mercurial “exemptions” that make the citizenry dependent on the caprices of Ms. Lerner and her colleagues. That’s a prize worth fighting for. In the meantime, the next time the IRS call you up with demands for this and demands for that, simply tell them, “I am filing the Lois Lerner defense,” and then say as she did to Congress “I have not done anything wrong. And I will not answer any questions.” Every man his own Lois Lerner!

IRS in Defense Over Dance Video:
(CNN) – A newly obtained video has the IRS running damage control on a new front, as the embattled agency prepares for the release next week of an inspector general report that will be critical of how money was spent on staff conferences.
In the video, an apparent team-building exercise, employees are taught the Cupid Shuffle dance move as they prepare to present the dance as a group at a 2010 conference.
The IRS said Friday night the video “was unacceptable and an inappropriate use of government funds.”
The video’s narrator describes the group of individuals as executives from the Small Business/Self Employed (SBSE) department. They say they’re competing “to become the next great dance sensation.”
The IRS said the video cost $1,600 to produce, and it played at the end of a 2010 leadership and education meeting in Anaheim for 2,600 managers in the SBSE division.
“The meeting took place at a time where the IRS needed to ensure that managers had proper training to address significant new programs, major staff turnover and a substantial increase in security threats following the suicide attack on an IRS facility in Austin earlier in the year,” the IRS said in a statement.
Throughout the nearly-three minute video, the employees poke fun at each other as they try to learn the dance moves.
The new video comes as the IRS takes heat over its admitted targeting of conservative groups who sought tax exempt status.
Next week, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) will release an audit showing excess spending at the IRS conference.
The IRS has already come under scrutiny for Star Trek and Gilligan’s Island-themed training videos it produced that costs tens of thousands of dollars. The Star Trek video, reported earlier this year, played at the same conference as the dance video.
“And I thought doing the Star Trek video was humiliating,” one woman says in the new video.
In fact, one of the employees in the Star Trek video was also in the new dancing spot.
Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel, appointed in recent weeks, said in a statement that the report will focus on an IRS conference that took place in 2010 and labeled it an “unfortunate vestige from a prior era.”

Obama’s SEAL Team 6 Cover-up
Video: Obama’s SEAL Team 6 Cover-up
Western Journalism: On August 6, 2011, a military helicopter— Extortion 17— carrying thirty-eight men (including twenty-five of the elite SEAL Team 6, five National Guard and Army Reserve, and eight Afghan commandos) was shot down over Taliban-controlled territory in eastern Afghanistan. They had been on a top secret mission to take out a high-value target.
It was the worst loss of life in a single day since the war in Afghanistan began. Per a 1250-page military report, it was simply the result of a “lucky shot” by Taliban soldiers perched on top of a building. Per families of those killed and military experts at a press conference held on May 9, 2013, this is a lie among a host of other lies.
After the families attended a several hour military briefing about this “lucky shot,” describing what happened and why their sons died, they smelled a rat and started digging around.
Billy and Karen Vaughn, parents of Navy SEAL Aaron C. Vaughn, started poking around at the “official” story and found not a rat, but a stinking swamp, a coverup that went all the way to the top.
When the Vaughns began trying to drain the swamp, they received what the Obama administration is famous for: the shakedown. None other than one of the highest ranking officers in the nation—Admiral William McRaven, commander at U.S. Special Operations Command—paid the Vaughns a little visit, in essence telling them to keep their mouths shut.
What exactly happened on August 6, 2011? What went wrong—or in this case went right that has the Obama administration dispatching high-ranking officers as thugs?
There are two possibilities, according to information revealed at the press conference:
1. The Obama administration sent American soldiers on a suicide mission, or
2. Someone set up our American heroes—that is, had them murdered—that may include the Afghan government—or shockingly may include Barack Hussein Obama himself.
We learned seven major facts at the press conference:
1. Thirty SEAL Team 6, National Guard, and Army Reserve were packed into a decrepit 1960s era CH-47 helicopter (something, according to military experts, that was unheard of.) Per military experts, special operations were always conducted with the state-of-the-art MH-47 helicopter—the helicopter SEAL Team 6 exclusively trained in. Further, never—ever—were that many special operations personnel packed into a single helicopter. They were always split up into small groups with multiple MH-47s.
2. Although the military could have easily taken out the Taliban positions with a drone strike prior to the operation, as the families were later told, this was not done because there were possible “friendlies” among the Taliban; the United States wanted to “win the minds and hearts of the enemy.”
Billy Vaughn, father of Navy SEAL Aaron Vaughn, speaking at the press conference with rage in his voice, blasted this ludicrousness:
Aaron did not become a Navy SEAL Team 6 Gold Squad to win the hearts and minds of the Islamic jihadists. He became a Navy SEAL to fight for this republic and defeat the enemy!
3. Although the military had intel that the Taliban were planning on firing on a helicopter, although an intense battle had been raging for several hours, and although normal protocol mandated that the CH-47 required at least one gunship escort, all normal rules of war were suspended.
But now for the real coverup by the Obama administration:
4. There were eight nameless Afghan commandos onboard the CH-47. Eight Afghan commandos were loaded onto the CH-47 along with their American counterparts; but at the last minute, they were replaced without changing the manifest. It was as if someone knew they were going on a suicide mission and pulled them out. The official in charge of the investigation (General Jeffrey Colt), in his 1250-page report, did not address this fact and did not even mention it. In fact, it is likely these original Afghan commandos contacted the Taliban, telling them the CH-47 was on its way. It appears the Taliban knew the exact time and route the CH-47 would be using; that the only way the “lucky shot” would have been possible with the helicopter thousands of feet in the air in cover of darkness would have been if the Taliban had been tipped off.
5. Everyone on Extortion 17 was immediately cremated without permission from the families, supposedly because the bodies were so badly burned in the crash. According to Charles Strange, father of Navy SEAL Michael Strange, this need to immediately cremate everyone aboard is a complete lie. Taliban on the ground in fact found the bodies of the crew. The Obama administration cremated everyone in order to cover up something.
6. The CH-47 black box was “lost” according to the military investigation—“washed away by an Afghan flood.” As most know, aircraft black boxes don’t get “lost”; they are virtually indestructible and carry a tracking device that makes them easy to locate. It was “lost” in order to cover up something the Obama administration wants to keep hidden.
7. Probably one of the most shocking revelations in the SEAL Team 6 coverup, something that was first brought out during the press conference that shows Obama is no Christian but is in fact a closet Muslim, is that Barack Hussein Obama disallowed the name of Jesus to be spoken during the initial military memorial service in Kabul and permitted a radical Islamic iman to curse our dead heroes.
Let every American demand that whatever Barack Obama is hiding, whatever the military brass is hiding, that it be revealed. America must demand that a Congressional investigation drain the swamp of the Obama administration in order to reveal exactly what sickening secret Barack Hussein Obama is covering up. Not next month. Not next week. Not tomorrow. But today.
Demand an investigation, America.

Incompetent-gate, Corruption-gate and Progressive-gate - Part 1
By Marion Algier – AskMarion
The list of corruption, fraud, scandals, cover-ups, overreach and incompetence by the Obama administration is staggering and growing by the day. Voter fraud and manipulation in both 2008 and 2012, Fast and Furious, Benghazi-gate, IRS-gate, Press-gate and now Sebelius-gate and EPA-gate are all coming to light, yet we are really only seeing the tip of the iceberg and if it were any other president he would never have been elected for a second term and impeachment would be on the table.
But when you start looking at the long list of infractions, it really narrows down to 3 main ‘gates’: Incompetent-gate, Corruption-gate and Progressive-gate. Everything else falls within the parameters of those 3. It is a story of incompetence or feigned incompetence and lies, a Culture of Corruption and the philosophy of Progressivism. The amazing part is that President Obama himself, former Secretary Hillary Clinton, and head cop Eric Holder have all already admitted both directly and indirectly to the first one: Incompetent-gate. They have all admitted over and over again through their testimonies, speeches and press conferences that they were, have been and are incompetent. And anyone paying attention has realized that the buck stops with anyone they can pin it on except themselves. Even Obama’s detachment is strategic!
We are finally reaching the point where half of America wants Obama impeached; worshippers like Chris Matthews are questioning what President Obama likes about his job; courageous journalists are saying it like it is and whistleblowers are coming out of the woodwork.
The panic is obviously building on the left when you look the amount of energy and time both Obama himself and the administration have spent denying their involvement and tap dancing, especially the past 10-days. IRS official Lois Lerner To Plead the Fifth At Congressional Hearing Tomorrow. If you know the law, you can only take the Fifth if you testimony could incriminate you of a crime, not just because you don’t want to answer.
You know they are nervous or someone is getting close when they throw a liberal icon like Bob Woodward under the bus!

But for the first time the mainstream media outlets, that has always been in Obama’s pocket, are beginning to cover the “gates” getting some information to the average Americans who don’t pay a lot of attention to politics.
Joseph Curl tweeted a report from a CIA source on Monday afternoon regarding the Obama administration's developing scandal surrounding monitoring the email accounts of Fox News' James Rosen:
Urgent -- CIA: Fox News Scandal “Goes Much Deeper,” White House Sitting On Something Top Obama Aides “Terrified” About…
We will continue to monitor and review the proceedings and updates as we have since 2007 to help the truth come out before the 2014 Election. Drastic changes in the make-up of the U.S. House and Senate are perhaps the only and last hope to turn the tide back toward the center and save America. Check back next week for part 11 and daily for updates.
It is now time for all Americans to pay attention, demand answers, stand up, and share what they know and suspect for you cannot love or honor what you do not know, miss or understand … and you certainly won’t fight for it. Yet the details of the scandals before us will (and already have) affect all our lives (including those of the libs) as well as the lives of our children, grandchildren and future generations of America!! But those with the courage to stand up will surely pay a price if we don’t all stand together for the truth!
Sign the GOP petition and demand accountability from President Obama and his Administration.
Sign the petition urging Congress to impeach Obama.

Chief IRS council William Wilkins helped Rev. Wright’s church get out of probe
For anyone who really still thinks there is no connection between the IRS and the White House… as the administration tried to sell America on this past weekend, read this:
FireAndreaMitchell.com: Now-chief counsel of the IRS, William Wilkins helped (Obama’s friend, mentor and pastor of 20-years) Rev. Jeremiah Wright and his church get out of an IRS probe in 2008. William Wilkins was working as a private attorney at the time. I’m sure this yet another amazing coincidence, isn’t it Hussein?
William Wilkins, then a WilmerHale law firm partner, said, “We were so interested in the case we offered to do it pro bono.”
Lowe wrote that Wilkins and other firm lawyers worked with the church’s national counsel, Donald Clark, and proved they had invited Obama to the event before he announced his candidacy for president. “Evidence presented in a letter sent to the IRS in late March pointed to ground rules the organization had established for Obama’s visit; the church even cautioned churchgoers against engaging in any political activity,” Lowe wrote. “Had the IRS pursued the matter, it would have raised serious questions about the First Amendment’s application to church activities, Wilkins says.”
When President Obama nominated Wilkins to be the IRS’s chief counsel on April 17, 2009, his White House cited Wilkins’ experience as an attorney on issues relating to tax-exempt status organization. “He has a broad tax practice that includes counseling nonprofit organizations, business entities, and investment funds on tax compliance, business transactions, and government investigations,” according to the White House release announcing Wilkins’ nomination.

Incredible: The Official in Charge of the IRS Office Responsible for Targeting Conservative Groups Now Heads the Agency’s Obamacare Office
Updated: ‘Absolutely chilling’: IRS admits targeting conservative groups for ‘inappropriate’ scrutiny
Incredible… It Just Keeps Getting Worse: The Official in Charge of the IRS Office Responsible for Targeting Conservative Groups Now Heads the Agency’s Obamacare Office
Well, this can’t be good.
It appears that the official who oversaw the Internal Revenue Service office responsible for targeting conservative groups has moved on from that post and now heads the agency’s Obamacare division.
From ABC News:
The Internal Revenue Service official in charge of the tax-exempt organizations at the time when the unit targeted tea party groups now runs the IRS office responsible for the health care legislation.
Sarah Hall Ingram served as commissioner of the office responsible for tax-exempt organizations between 2009 and 2012. But Ingram has since left that part of the IRS and is now the director of the IRS’ Affordable Care Act office, the IRS confirmed to ABC News today.
Her successor, Joseph Grant, is taking the fall for misdeeds at the scandal-plagued unit between 2010 and 2012. During at least part of that time, Grant served as deputy commissioner of the tax-exempt unit.
Grant said Thursday he would resign as commissioner of the Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division on June 3, TheBlaze reported. He was appointed to the post just eight days ago.
Here’s a May 8 press release announcing his extremely short-lived promotion.
Grant, Kay Named to IRS Leadership Posts
But here’s something really interesting: Ingram received more than $100,000 in bonuses between 2009 and 2012, slightly before and well after her office started targeting conservatives, the Washington Examiner’s Mark Tapscott reports.
“Ingram received a $7,000 bonus in 2009,” the Examiner report adds, “then a $34,440 bonus in 2010, $35,400 in 2011 and $26,550 last year for a total of $103,390. Her annual salary went from $172,500 to $177,000 during the same period.”
News that the IRS official heading the agency’s Obamacare office used to run the division responsible for conservative discrimination comes on the heels of House Speaker John Boehner calling for a full repeal of the Affordable Care Act.
“Fully repealing ObamaCare will help us build a stronger, healthier economy, and will clear the way for patient-centered reforms that lower health care costs and protect jobs,” Boehner said shortly after the House passed a “repeal Obamacare” measure.
“Obamacare empowers the agency that just violated the public’s trust by secretly targeting conservative groups,” Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-In.) added. “Even by Washington’s standards, that’s unacceptable.”
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell summed up his reaction to the Ingram revelation: “stunning, just stunning.”
