BHO Scandal Ridden

Holding the “Scandal-Free” Obama Administration Accountable

Time To Change Lanes

Recently, a blog post titled Breaking The Boardwalk, was presented detailing how early hopes have most certainly been lost when it comes to Chris Christie, the boisterous governor of New Jersey.

While early on Christie had exhibited such promise, it has become increasingly clear that Christie, while certainly preferable to Hillary Clinton in a 2016 presidential campaign, is not someone who should be placed in the position to represent the republican party in 2016; or at least the republican party once commanded by Ronaldus Magnus.

Christie has found himself at the center point of a ever increasing scandal involving members of staff closing several lanes of the George Washington bridge, a very heavily traveled bridge connecting New Jersey with Manhattan.  The drive by media cannot get enough of the story, as they see it damaging to who they view as the main challenger to a Hillary Clinton nomination in 2016.

Gov. Christie has denied any knowledge of the actions of his staff members, noting he was heartbroken and "disturbed by the tone and behavior and attitude" from those long time associates within his staff.  It is exactly that culture, which no doubt houses Christie himself, that is troubling. 

At least Christie, in a news conference, accepted responsibility for the debacle, asked forgiveness from the citizenry and sought to be received by the mayor Fort Lee, a Christie critic, to apologize, which he was in what was described as a cordial meeting.  Fort Lee, by the way, is not some relay station along the Hudson, but rather a major business area, home in fact to the operations of CNBC.

Christie had previously said the bridge lane closures were part of a traffic study.  So, if we got this straight, because the government needs information, easily gathered through a handful of means, lane closures causing untold discomfort, losses in time and wages, and potentially interfering with law enforcement and ambulance activities was deemed necessary.

Rather than noting the lane closures as part of this potential study, had I been the Governor of New Jersey, it would seem obvious the pain inflicted upon the citizenry far exceeds the benefit of having to acquire this information in that particular fashion.  Is not everyone on board with that?

The tentacles of this story are plentiful, but most of them will not grace the front pages of the nations leading newspapers or the mainstream media news organizations.

Democrats. No, democrats and an alarming amount of republicans. No. While progressives are using this opportunity to blast Christie's potential clash with Clinton, calling his actions reprehensible, the have a blind eye to the actions President Obama, which make the bridge lanes closures look like failing to come to a complete stop at a stop sign.

Obama administration scandals such as Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS targeting of conservative groups, the manipulation of economic data, NSA data collection programs and politicizing the Department of Justice are considered completely within the realm sensible political action by his progressive supporters on both sides.  Have any of the above scandalous incidents been adequately investigated with any conclusions drawn?  Why? Obama has said he will get to the bottom of each of these issues save the economic data, but has gave us nothing but lies, now at least verified regarding Benghazi.

What Bridgegate and the above referenced Obama administration scandals have in common is the abuse of power.  As Rush Limbaugh pointed out, "whether Governor Christie or President Obama were personally aware of the abuses perpetrated on their behalves is irrelevant. On some level, they set a tone in their administrations that signaled that such hardball would be tolerated," that a culture had been established of get your enemies."

Members of Christie's staff did just that with the lane closures, drawing appropriate scorn.  But, where is the public scorn for President Obama, who told his political operatives not to bring a knife to a gun fight.  In addition, Obama he told supporters to "punish our enemies".  His top advisor Valerie Jarrett, was clearer in commentary; “After we win this election, it’s our turn. Payback time,” warned Valerie Jarrett, Mr. Obama’s longtime senior adviser. “Everyone not with us is against us, and they better be ready because we don’t forget. The ones who helped us will be rewarded, the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve. There is going to be hell to pay.”

One should keep in mind, by the way, that those "against them" are American citizens her boss was elected to serve.

While the actions associated with Bridegate fail miserably to challenge those of the Obama administration, one thing is crystal clear; progressives who view government as the answer to all the problems have no problem utilizing governmental levers upon the citizenry, no matter the encroachment on liberty and freedom, as you are insignificant to their reign of power. 

This is called tyranny, as appropriately pointed out in a recent column by Dr. Milton Wolf in the Washington Post.

Glenn Beck further examines the similarities between Christie and Obama, which may come as quite a stunner to many.  Take a listen:



With no lane closures impacting travel plans, the media continues to travel down all the wrong avenues. Focused on 2016, they intentionally hide the real story you should be considering in an effort to keep you from being able to adequately consider what is taking place.

Many look the other way if is one of "their" team members, apparently losing proper perspective.  Certainly, a 2016 Christie administration would be much more preferable than a 2016 Clinton administration in my estimation for thousands of reasons.  But, Bridgegate shows Christie is a big government politician, who thinks government, rather than the people, are in charge, and I do not have issue calling him out just because he, like me, is a republican.

Those who aim to keep the power away from the people think these actions are reasonable political operations.  They are members of the ruling class, who seek to tinker with the Constitution tranferring power from the poeple to political opeartives who deem they are more qualifed and educated to make decisions for the citizenry. Those of us who embrace the founding fathers, the rule of law and the power of the people, should recognize that these are not individuals who should be given the opportunity to serve the public.

 This applies to the 2014 mid terms, not just the presidential election 2016. Does anybody care?

Political Culprits Lining Up In Circles

According to the the Progressives, the elite ruling class, adoring Obamabots and idiots at large among the most fervent admirers of our Commander in Teleprompter, we are informed that President Obama is a man of unprecedented vision, among the most intellectually astute and charmed individual ever to aspire to public service.

 

So much so, in fact, as reported by John Fund in The Corner, the admiration of the all knowing Obama his chief advisor Valerie Jarrett knows no bounds. “I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were extraordinary. He knows exactly how smart he is. . . . He knows how perceptive he is. He knows what a good reader of people he is. And he knows that he has the ability — the extraordinary, uncanny ability — to take a thousand different perspectives, digest them and make sense out of them, and I think that he has never really been challenged intellectually. . . . So what I sensed in him was not just a restless spirit but somebody with such extraordinary talents that had to be really taxed in order for him to be happy. . . . He’s been bored to death his whole life. He’s just too talented to do what ordinary people do.”

Michael Ramirez/Investors Business Daily

Since Uncle Sam was so fortunate to have this extraordinary charlatan as our President, we the constituents recognize his keen insight into pop culture events, sporting event prognostication and divisive behavior among law abiding citizens.

 

However, with untold scandals entangling his administration, ones which have cost the lives of those charged to serve and protect this country, violated countless economic, contract and constitutional laws and nationalized private commerce across the fruited plain, we are told Obama was not integrally involved.

 

No, Obama cannot be held accountable, for he was not involved.  Back during attack on our country via the murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Patriots in Benghazi, Obama was playing cards.  It was the eighth re-run of Sportscenter on ESPN when the NSA spying program was given the OK.  Obama was busy on sustainable community research when the Obamacare website was given a trial run.  In his brilliance, Obama was tapped in via electronic surveillance on Tea Party groups when untold illegal aliens were released to collect entitlement benefits while plotting their next blue collar crime.

 

It is simply beyond ridiculous.

 

Obama is eager to take credit for any measurable success which is championed by not only his supporters, but a criminally complicit media. However, when things go wrong, without question the President was otherwise occupied and cannot and will not be held responsible.  

 

Those who are deemed responsible are lining up in circles, and the citizenry is getting whip sawed.

 

It is in fact the Limbaugh theorem; Obama cannot be held accountable for destruction he is perceived to not have been part of the implementation or orchestration thereof.  Certainly, the public did not feel the need to hold him accountable as he defeated Mitt Romney in 2012.

 

But, the Obamacare debacle may be too much for even this smooth talking impostor President to overcome.  After all, certainly he would be responsible for something proudly bearing his name.

 

Or will he?  Trick or Treat.

Obamaville Sneak Attack

Welcome to Obamaville/HT The Burning Platform

This is classic.  There they are; the FBI, NSA, IRS and DOJ, waiting to hit you with a sneak attack. If you were wondering why the EPA was not pictured on a motorcycle, their representatives were traveling by foot house to house in efforts to restrict the rights of property owners in Obamaville.

With the majority of the country distracted by the guilty pleasures of life, coupled with a lack of accepting the responsibility of being an informed citizen, America has entered the greatest speed trap of all time; Obamaville.

If those whose attention has been diverted do not get straight in a hurry, we all may be trapped in a country ran by an oppressive government of central planners restricting the freedom and liberty of the citizenry. 

Please wake your neighbors up!

Comfortably Progressive Ruling Class

Back in 2009, at a Tea Party rally in beautiful downtown Orlando featuring Rep. Steve King, R:IA, and radio talk show host Mike Gallagher, standing in the background off my right shoulder I noticed a familiar face; John Boehner, R:OH.

Boehner was not advertised as a featured speaker, and it appeared by his demeanor he was sort of scoping out the situation.  Indeed, as you may suspect, Boehner was identified and was asked to speak ao the crowd delivering what one would consider a decent speech noting all the customary rhetoric concerning the encroachment of freedom being engaged upon by our newly elected President.

But, it did not appear Boehner was comfortable.

In fact, Speaker Boehner has never been comfortable with the Tea Party faction of the GOP.  Items and issues have continued to mount since that evening in Orlando, and on this day we can most certainly conclude that Boehner is a progressive republican who is more comfortable with the big government ruling class than those who champion free markets and the Constitution. 

Two recent issues are worth noting.  First, Speaker Boehner has failed to step up with leadership in the investigation surrounding the most troubling events in Benghazi, at a minimum standing in the background reminiscent of the aforementioned Orlando evening.

Emerging today is an alarming series of emails between the chiefs of staffs of Speaker Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, whom we find a disgusting individual, working together to have the President to carve them out of the requirement of Obamacare behind the public eye while employing public rhetoric to the contrary.

The Democrats, and perhaps the progressive republicans, may welcome this type of chicanery within their ranks, but those of us in Tea Party, and I would hope most Americans, find it offensive.

But do Republicans and Democrats actually exist anymore? Some say no, and they are likely correct.

Glenn Beck recently interviewed Mark Leibovich of The New York Times, author of the new book "This Town" discussing this theory in some detail.  Please take a listen:



It sure seems a three party system is where we are at; the far left communists, the interior progressive ruling class and the Tea Party Constitutionalists.  Those in the middle are the careerists Leibovich refers to; folks like the Clintons, John McCain and John Boehner.

For the citizenry living in the middle, who seemingly find moderates for either party acceptable, one has to wonder if they are aware of the expansive governmental control surrounding them due to this miscalculation.  The unprecedented intrusion of the NSA, IRS and EPA and Obamacare waivers for big business and the ruling class are recent examples.

Some of the voters simply throw their hands into the air, disengaged, not only by the distractions of the day outlined in the works of Aldous Huxley but by the thought that those in contest are essentially the same, therefore placing little relevance regarding their vote.

This line of thinking was eloquently chronicled in an outstanding piece by Angelo Codevila, titled America's Ruling Class - And the Perils of Revolution in The America Spectator in 2010.  "The only serious opposition to this arrogant Ruling Party is coming not from feckless Republicans but from what might be called the Country Party -- and its vision is revolutionary."  This is a must read.

One thing is for sure.  The current blueprint is unsustainable, and if we don't take the necessary steps to end the madness and employ the vision from the first Reagan inaugural speech by reawakening this industrial giant, forcing government back within its means in every arena and by lightening our punitive tax burden, we are destined for darkness.

Free market capitalism is the best path to prosperity, allowing entrepreneurship and individualism to flourish unleashing freedom and liberty across the fruited plain.  Political action, from any party, to the contrary restricting these founding principles should be vehemently rejected, while still possible.

Liars Lack Credibility

President Obama; Commander Clueless At Large

"My credibility is not on the line," quipped President Obama today regarding his red line he never spoke of regarding the use of chemical weapons in Syria.

Problem is, Obama has no credibility. 

"The international community’s credibility is on the line. And America’s and Congress’s credibility is on the line."

In response to appearing most weak, Obama throws the international community under the bus for attempting to set a level of standards in times of conflict that adhere to common decency and follows by hammering the Congress for being part of such an agreement.

The comments are really an effort to discredit Republicans and the use of force by those countries able to successfully conduct military operations.  Only when the administration find the international community has the "responsibility to protect" would military action seem appropriate.

From the beginning of Obama's administration and his apology tour, there has not been an international relations plan anyone can make sense of.  The Arab Spring was a disaster everyone but he and his staff saw in the making, and the orchestrated events in Lybia has moved the country into lawlessness and ruin and has resulted in Egypt in turmoil.

Furthermore, truth and the adherence to the rule of law have been absent, a critical matter of trust.  One could surmise the administration has been less than forthcoming, but the fact of the matter is those the are charged to report to are left facing distortion, stonewalling, mistruths and deception.

This would include negotiations surrounding the auto bailouts, Fast and Furious, the stimulus, the unemployment rate, the NSA scandal, the IRS scandal and most notably, the events in Benghazi where four patriots, including our Ambassador, were murdered.

The administration is not credible, and Rep. Jeff Duncan, R:SC, made the charge while grilling Secretary of State John Kerry, who is an appalling individual, lacking character and credibility, who although serving in, has exhibited great disdain for our military over the years.


I have no access to any military intelligence and can only speculate on the real story from what I can ascertain from following the events, deciphering what I can from media reports and hearing testimonials.  But, it seems clear chemical weapons were utilized in Syria.

However, in my opinion, there are a myriad of outstanding questions that must be addressed before we risk the lives of our servicemen.   Primarily due to the mind boggling foreign policy of this administration, this situation has really become one were neither side, either the administration of Bashar al-Assad or the rebels made up of factions of Al-Queda and the Muslim Brotherhood,   deserves any support from Uncle Sam.

Interestingly enough, we apparently know the issues in Syria like the palm of our hand but were paralyzed at the time and remain quite puzzled at what transpired in Benghazi.  We actually thought is was because of a video.  I don't buy it, and nor should you.

Going against Assad, as Obama is asking Congress for approval in doing, puts us on the side with the Muslim Brotherhood and factions of Al-Queda, both of whom I consider our enemies.  Problem is, I doubt President Obama considers agrees. As Sen. Ted Cruz, R:TX, said, "we should not be “al-Qaeda’s air force."

The entire operation has come about quickly for some reason, with somewhat of a sense of urgency.  I wonder why, but then again, there is golf, fundraising and world travel going on.

The case is weak, and we are asked by the same hypocrites who railed against George W. Bush, who had a library of info compared to Kerry's briefcase, to seemingly blindly accept their premise and jump on board. 

No such luck with me.  It is noted many seemingly knowledgeable people have, including Jennifer Rubin over at The Washington Post.

We should not tolerate the use of chemical weapons and there may be some additional reasons to be involved, but we have not been informed of what they may be. I got some ideas, coming up in a later post.

Certainly, I am not against military action when necessary, provided we go kick the ass out of our opponent and come home. For us to engage, there must be a strategic plan of action, rather than a rushed effort with no stated goal or end game.

In my view, the administration has presented themselves as liars ( perpetrators apprehended and punished in Benghazi?) and thieves (monetizing of the debt), misrepresenting and distorting facts ( no red line drawn).  They are not to be trusted, and get no quarter from me.

Obama thinks he is loved from the night sky to the ocean floor, but only he and a few remaining Obamabots still think that. The truth of the matter is, that other than attempting to save what limited credibility Obama and the US still clings to on the world stage, there is no strategic US interest or reason to be involving ourselves, and placing at risk the treasure of our servicemen and women, in yet another middle east skirmish, particularly with no strategic plan.

Truthful Issues & Insights

Although it may be a tall order to attract viewers given their anti-American stances, earlier today, Al Jazeera America launced in some 40 million homes through cable systems across America. The network is ambitious, hiring top talent, mostly from CNN, to become the face of the network here in the states.

The Hollywood Reporter, of all people, has a quick primer on the network.  The ownership is not fond of America, and has been supportive on and off the air of those who seek harm to Uncle Sam. 

For some reason; however, members of the left not only welcome, but push it as the place to get non biased, "real news".  This includes Hillary Clinton, who is currently engaged in some sort of coronation for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination.

The majority of the major cable outlets welcome Al-Jazeera, and all voices should be welcomed.  Of course, these same companies have for the most part rejected efforts by The Blaze, an American company, to be included on their systems.  Bias at play? Count on it.

Any information presented by Al-Jazeera should be absorbed with caution.  This is true for any new source, particularly the major news networks, whose portrayal of balance is non credible.  This includes blogs, including this one.  Information should be analyzed in order to formulate a sound basis for an opinion to be derived.

One of the top sources of information I utilize is Investors Business Daily.  I became a subscriber back in the early 1990's because William J. O'Neill had developed a proprietary stock evaluation system that was unrivaled.  Without question, pouring through the pages of IBD has been an invaluable tool for technical and fundamental analysis of stock performance.

However, over the years the editorial pages of IBD has become the top of the field, edging out the fine folks over at The Wall Street Journal.  The IBD editorial page allows the reader to find out what is really going on, something not found in most major newspapers or network or cable news. They say it like it is.

IBD offers no quarter to those who aim ill will against the freedom and prosperity of the United States, and that is an effort I can subscribe to.  The following is a sample of articles over the last few days, opinions based on facts presented for your consumption and evaluation, for your review.

Investors Business Daily

From our founding, we are a nation of laws, not men. Although there have been a multitude of missteps, we have always strived to operate beholden to the rule of law and a code of ethics.  This philosophy is not a tenant in the Obama administration, which if you get news from the mainstream media you may be unaware of.  IBD makes the case, noting Obama's Legacy Of Lawlessness.

Among the falsities being promulgated by the administration is that the onslaught of scandals engulfing the Obama administration are phony, but most everyone recognizes how deceitful and disrespectful that commentary is.  IBD won't assist in letting these scandals die, and has a piece about That "Phony" Fast And Furious Scandal.

America is waking up, and the Obama administration if quite fearful that everyone is about to recognize what an actual fraud Obama is.  To that extent, everyone who legally criticizes Commander Thin Skin must be publicly admonished, including a rodeo clown in Missouri.  Yeah, a rodeo clown. IBD comes out In Defense Of Rodeo Clowns in an editorial by Pulitzer Prize winning Cartoonist Michael Ramirez.

 



Mark Steyn

With the NSA scandal, not so phony at all, exploding down a rat hole of unlawful government activity, Americans from all factions of political arenas are quite concerned.  Guest columnist Mark Steyn, a true treasure, expresses a viewpoint that the Glum Fact Of Life Today: Our Privacy Is Vanishing.  It is vanishing in much more rapid fashion than you realize, and before it is too late, you should know the facts.

Analysis from the left and right is presented on a daily basis, and you should read each one to gain perspective regarding what those who see the world opposite of you are thinking and feeling.  Knowledge is power; right?

Eugene Robinson

Eugene Robinson, of The Washington Post, writes from the left that Obama Needs To Speak Truth About Egypt.  Robinson is an Obama guy, but he seems to understand the importance of the rule of law in our country. For Robinson to insinuate the truth is missing regarding this subject speaks volumes.  I cannot recall thinking, much less writing this, but Robinson is on point in this editorial.


Larry Kudlow

Lawrence Kudlow, a favorite of BAHL Revere, often offers economic commentary from the right in IBD.  Although I have a degree in Economics and find it most interesting, most folks do not. But it is vitally important for our citizens to have a basic understanding of how the economy ticks and what policies enhance economic growth which benefits our citizenry.  Kudlow, host of The Kudlow Report on CNBC, writes that the Obama History Of Economy Is But A Fairy Tale.

The crisis is Egypt is under reported in the mainstream media, but not at IBD.  In fact, not only are we being lied to about the severity of situation as it stands, but what actually was a trigger point for causing the crisis in the first place.  You guessed it, You Can Thank Obama's Ego For The Carnage and Crisis in Egypt.

Amidst all the anger and horror, could you imagine who is actually being blamed and targeted?  You won't find that information in the mainstream media, or Al-Jerzerra, but while the world is mum, IBD informs you The Muslim Brotherhood Targets Coptic Christians in Egypt.

Investors Business Daily is a reliable source for inquisitive readers to gain a solid perspective on the economic and geopolitical events that, while not commonly considered, do have a major effect on the everyday lives of our citizenry.

As we have said, The Salvation Of The State Is Watchfulness In The Citizen. At the top of list of outlets for the citizen to become informed is the editorial page of Investors Business Daily. In addition, you will gain command over your investment portfolio.

Live The Liberal Dream

After initially informing the American people he was disturbed by the actions and would get to the bottom of each of these scandals, President Obama has hit the campaign trail.  Yes, I know, or at least I think, he is not running for future office and has no need to campaign.

 

In a stunning exhibit of arrogance, speaking in front of low information voters sprinkled with handfuls of political hacks, President Obama is now calling each of the major scandals engulfing his administration "phony scandals".

 

To say this rhetoric from the man voted in as the leader of all Americans, not just his progressive Obamabots, is not becoming his office is a dramatic understatement.  As usual, his comments are divisive, incorrect, arrogant and disrespectful to those he should be honored to govern.  These comments highlight characteristics in an individual exhibiting a lack of common decency and void of leadership qualities, and thus his presiding over our decline should not come as a surprise.

The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.--George Orwell

Truth has left the building, and the administration is on the attack against the few who dare to challenge. But with the mainstream media nothing more than a propaganda machine for Obama, although Peggy Noonan suggests America is no longer listening to Obama, few are engaged enough to decipher the misrepresentations of the truth presented the citizenry.

Each of the scandals President Obama references are beyond significant.  Fast and Furious, Benghazi, AP, NSA and the IRS scandals are despicable. Provided adequate hearings take place, of which I am sadly doubtful, a handful seem impeachable offenses.  In fact, the IRS scandal violates the Fourth Amendment, and for that reason among a hundred, we have called for the resignation of President Obama.

But while Obama dismisses the above mentioned scandals with  a smirk, he informs us that Washington has taken its eye of the economy, and he intends to force them back on this troubling issue. Yes, the horrendous economy caused in large measure, by design, by the very policies implemented by the Obama administration and their ship of fools.  Infuriating.

Obama, once again, informs the public he will focus "like a laser" on the economy, and they think change is on the brink.  For those who have paid any attention, the speech lines are retreads from past speeches and unless there are major policy changes, and none are forthcoming, the economy will continue to under perform at best while America continues to decline into a structure of socialism, in violation of the founding principles of our nation.

It is claimed the unemployment rate has began to fall with America getting back to work, but the fact is the labor participation rate for full time employment is at its lowest rate since 1980, prior to the Reagan Revolution.  It can be argued more jobs are being filled, but those are pat time jobs as workers have had hour reduced due to the implementation of Obamacare and now hold two positions to bring home the income one job used to.  On side note, remember when the left yelled at George W. Bush, saying the jobs he created were McDonalds (MCD:NYSE) jobs?  Some should be so lucky these days, but all is quiet at those broadcasting companies.

More individuals are receiving government entitlements than ever before, and it is no due to population shifts.  Few have their unemployment benefits expire, but for those that have, disability relief is the next step.  Everyone has some sort of issue, right.  Aren't you a victim of this or that.  I wish you would get over it, but Obama does not feel, but welcomes your pain so he can control yet another poor soul who has lost the ability to succeed on their own.  Julia has arrived.

In fact, as the Associated Press reported today, Four out of 5 U.S. adults struggle with joblessness, near poverty or reliance on welfare for at least parts of their lives, a sign of deteriorating economic security and an elusive American dream.  Forget Obama and his parade of bullcrap.  Forget the GOP, the Democrats and Washington DC.  Think of mainstreet, and how utterly unnecessarily sad this statistic is for our fellow man.  Four of Five!  80%!

If you step back, you quickly realize this is not a sound road for our economy to be traveling, although Obama thinks it is.  Why is he not alarmed about the peril of our citizens? Obama is quick to blame the GOP, but until Scott Brown got elected in the aftermath of the death of Sen. Edward Kennedy, the GOP could have golfed everyday with no consequence as the Democrats held a super majority.  Even after Brown was elected, the GOP was nothing more than a speed bump, with only the roar to the Tea Party scaring anyone.  Even, today, progressive republicans like John McCain, Kelly Ayotte and Lindsay Graham, and even the leadership of Boehner and Cantor, rarely fight Obama with vigor.  You would think the entire Congress would be up in arms that 80% of our citizens are struggling so mightily, but I don't hear them.

Recent events, such as the Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman shooting in Sanford, Florida, the abysmal record of deaths among young black teens in Obama's backyard in Chicago and the bankruptcy of Detroit have placed a spotlight on the black youth community.  Under President Obama, black youth have not had it this bad in several decades if ever, and he has suggested zero in the form of legislation, unless you consider his efforts to undermine the Second amendment, to assist in solving the problem.  We discussed the how solving this problem, although it would hurt the income streams of the race hustlers, would extend prosperity for all.

Sen. Mike Lee (R:UT) is attempting to defund Obamacare, a law polls show America dislikes, but few republicans in the senate are joining his fight.  As Rush Limbaugh pointed out, many republicans are big government types the really are not all that broken up about Obamacare as it represents expanded control over Americans like you and me.  Obamacare is a significantly destructive force against economic growth and freedom.

Yes, the stock market is at record highs, fueled by to many dollars chasing too few assets.  Home prices are inching up due in part to a restricted inventory.  Manipulated markets.  Nothing to see here.

Everything is not fixed.  In fact, although seemingly somewhat stable, the economy is much worse than thought.  The administration policies of entitlements, handouts and bailouts, coupled with expansive taxation and regulation from within the EPA to Common Core in the public school system, the citizenry are being placed in a box.  As AP correctly pointed out, due to these policies the American dream will be much harder to achieve, and economic insecurity among those who fail to exit the box will continue to grow.

This is not the America we grew up in, handicapped by a governor placed on the citizens by an oppressive government which, although with rhetoric to the contrary, is seeking to collapse the system leaving the citizenry clamoring for help in the form of entitlements.  As history and traditions are given less importance, and work ethic, the standard of living decreases, the GDP embraces contraction, our superpower status evaporates and the majority of the citizens are left under the control of the government.

Robbing folks of their identity and destroying personal incentives fosters financial calamities and is destructive to the family leaving a country in despair.

 

Don't worry.  Due to Obamacare, as the secretary determines, those death panels Sarah Palin warned you about are real, and provided you no longer can justify your existence and present no benefit to society, they will be happy to assist you.

Nothing To See Here

What in the world is going on in Boston?

Obviously, we are all well aware of the tragic terrorist acts which marred the Boston Marathon. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those who lost their life and those who have forever been negatively impacted by the actions of these terrorists.

However, the aftermath of the event has been quite confusing and with all the scandals engulfing the Obama administration, it is hard for the public to keep their eye on the ball.  Heck, we don't even know what game we are playing.

While the authorities chased down the publicly know suspects, a major US city was in lock down. It was the Tsarnaev brothers, Chechen immigrants, with the older brother killed in a shootout and the younger brother, after being identified by a private citizen, having been captured in cuddy cabin boat on a trailer in the yard of a suburban Boston home.  Tsarnaev is awaiting trial. 

It is over, and the bad guys have been caught and are off the street.  All is good; nothing to see here.  Not so fast my friend.

Where did it all begin?  One of the aforementioned scandals had to do with the National Security Agency spying, without warrant, on all Americans in the name of prohibiting our nation from being hit again by terrorists.  As Benjamin Franklin so eloquently said, "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety". Even though reports have the Russian government warning us about the brothers Tsarnaev, with the federal government spying on the citizenry with high tech surveillance, it did nothing to stop terrorism from striking our streets, literally, in Boston. 

That ole Franklin was a real gem.

Although we are not aware of any intelligence gathered from surveillance tactics, there were significant clues something was up.

On September 11, 2011, a vicious homicide took place in the area in which the Tsarnaev brothers resided, with the victim having been a close friend of the older Tsarnaev brother.  The case remained unsolved, but it is noteworthy that news reports indicate Tsarnaev did not attend the funeral.  That type of behavior should have raised some suspicion.

Only after the bombing investigation got going did the authorities stumble upon the obvious; that mounting evidence suggested Tsarnaev brothers were involved in the grisly killing.

In the weeks prior to the Boston bombing over in Hanover, nearby the area the Tsarnaev brothers and their friends lived, came news reports of two recent incidents where homemade explosives were detonated.  At the first location, it was noted that witnesses at the nearby Target store on Washington Street reported seeing a bright flash and hearing two explosions from that area. The local news report noted that several unexploded devices were found at the scene and later detonated under secure conditions by the State Police Bomb Squad.  Obviously, these were dry runs.

On the day after the bombing, a series of photographs were published on the internet.  I became aware of the pictures from a Facebook post by FOX News Eric Bolling, and you can see the entire portfolio of photos HERE.

These photos are very interesting indeed.  Several potential suspects, most carrying backpacks, are seen in the screen shots.  I am particularly interested in the picture presented below.  The first is a photo of the immediate aftermath of the bombing, and something peculiar is quite noticeable.  Standing right beyond the start finish line are two men dressed in similar attire who appear stationary and not at all fazed by what has occurred.  Take a look.

 

A closer inspection of the photo, zoomed in below, shows two men hiding backpacks apparently engaged in some form of communication.  Certainly, to engage in identification of these men would be speculative, but it does appear the man on the left is the older Tsarnaev brother.  However, it is clear that the other individual is not the younger Tsarnaev brother.  Take a look.

If we assume the individual on the left is in fact the older Tsarnaev brother, who is the individual on the right?  Although some friends of the Tsarnaev brothers have been arrested on lesser charges, none resembled this man. 

The authorities have informed the public there are no outstanding suspects related to the bombings, but regardless if the man pictured on the left is the older Tsarnaev brother or not, these two men are reacting unlike most everyone else pictured, which at a minimum raises suspicion.

I have not heard anything in the media about who these two men, and particularly the one pictured at right, are.  I would like to know.  Oh well, nothing to see here. Move on.

In the immediate aftermath of the bombings, new reports suggested a man who had been hospitalized with injuries likely sustained at the bombing.  The injuries were described as consistent with someone who was not injured from the bombing, but participatory in implementing the bombing.

Respectable journalists over at CNN reported the news, labeling the suspect as a Saudi Arabian. Seemingly due to political correctness, the reports were retracted.  CNN promptly regretted the error, but I conclude there was no error.  John King has been at this a long time and he would not recklessly report such a thing, and Fran Townsend has a credible reputation as well.  CNN may be publicly apologizing for the error, but there was no error. Wonder who got to these guys?

The story of the error has no credibility because the problem is that this individual actually exists, and The Blaze, among others, did extensive reporting on this individual.  The young man had been classified by our government as very dangerous, as The Blaze reports.

In what appeared as a stunning jailbreak of lemmings, the media quickly retracted that this individual, complete with burned hands, was not a suspect at all.  In fact, although there was no official recognition of the event, pictures indicate Michelle Obama visited him in the hospital. Reports now suggest he was deported and will not face further interrogation on the subject.  Just lovely.

With the propaganda arm of the Obama administration, the mainstream media, having dropped the subject from the daily news reel, the American people lost focus on the subject as a slew of scandals suffocated the Obama administration.

With the dust seemingly settled came news of a rather startling event just north of Boston.  On May 14th, patrols were stepped up after seven chemical engineering students were caught trespassing at the Quabbin Reservoir.  As CBS Boston reports, State Police say the five men and two women are from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore, and “cited their education and career interests” for being in the area. The men told police they were chemical engineers and recent college graduates.

No charges were to be filed against the trespassers, but that did not sit well with Glenn Beck.



After the early and prompt decision not to charge the trespassers, Massachusetts Police are appealing that decision. The reservoir, which provides the city of Boston their drinking water, was accurately deemed "critical infrastructure" and thus the Mass. Police found charges were appropriate.  It should be noted the trespassers included adults, five men and two women, who were from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Singapore.

Common sense would have you believe the authorities within and surrounding Boston would be on high alert given these wide ranging events with terroristic suspicion.  We are unable to conclude that after learning what took place at the Boston Aqueduct on June 3. 

Three padlocks to hatches were cut at the Boston aqueduct, which supplies water to greater Boston. Seemingly oblivious to the previous incidents, CBS Boston reports State Police are investigating, though they say “there is no evidence of any crime other than vandalism.”  Nothing to see here.

While the events following the Boston Marathon bombing may be isolated incidents with no relation to the terroristic acts of the bombing, my tolerance for coincidence expired a long time ago.  In addition, there are several unanswered and troubling aspects regarding the bombing that have not been adequately addressed.

Obviously, our government values their relationships with countries and groups that harbor terrorists.  While questions regarding Boston remain unanswered, the administration aims to engage in assisting in weaponizing terrorists in Syria and welcomes terrorists into The White House.

Goodwill is quickly contracting globally, and with the United States in decline due to weak leadership and financial constraints, a significant event could catapult Uncle Sam into a very perilous position.  Such an event could well be financial, but it certainly could be the actions of terrorists, or both.

Before discounting the events in Boston, recognize those who carried out the events of September 11, 2001 were not Rhodes Scholars. It would be prudent to remain vigilant.

Washington Web Cam

With the NSA government surveillance of the people, a scandal of  in extreme violation of the first amendment, growing exponentially by the day, it is clear that nothing you do can be deemed private. Smart phones, HD internet attached monitors and your personal computer can all be utilized, without your consent, to monitor your activities.

It is a Brave New World out there gang.  Welcome to 1984!  Beck is on top of it as usual:



This government, which clearly cannot be trusted, is on record utilizing this type of information against political opponents, as Tea Party and 9-12 groups, along with Mitt Romney donors, can attest.  Even Mitt Romney himself was attacked by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D:NV.

With the government having access to every computer keystroke, they can attack their political opponents with this information.  Most would not want the public to be privy to all Google searches you have implemented.

Oh my goodness!  All those porn searches!  That information, if noted, in violation of my civil rights, could be used against me.  The list of folks who might mount a congressional run may have just got significantly reduced, but there will be no affect to BAHL Revere.

I have some working knowledge regarding the porn industry, having been a longtime listener to The King of All Media, Howard Stern, where members of the industry are frequent guests and due to following financial markets.  About a dozen years ago, I had the occasion to meet Jenna Jameson, who appeared in Stern's movie Private Parts, and who is perhaps the most famous of all porn stars.

It is worth noting that many of the woman working in this industry these days are much better looking than you may think.  Although I am sure many are doing as they please, and some like Ms. Jameson had done quite well for themselves financially, you would hope they had higher aspirations in life than going down the road to being participatory in porn performance.



Drunna

Recent research noted that there are a handful of past performers who have come out of retirement to work again, perhaps most notably the actress Julia Ann.  Two stars I noted were a very decent looking woman seemingly in her mid thirties called Drunna, who looks like a soccer Mom, and a relatively new performer called Brooklyn Chase, who is real cute. One has to wonder what paths they took to become stars in the industry rather than living normal lives like the rest of us.  Maybe it is all about the desire to be famous; who knows.

By the way, as Mark Steyn pointed out sitting in for Rush last week, stars often get their names by using the town they grew up in and the name of their dog. Brooklyn Chase, you are busted!

Recently, I learned that members of the porn industry were being targeted in an unusual way; financial markets.  Business Insider reported that members of the porn industry were being denied business banking accounts and denied lending opportunities due their profession.

The article reports that porn star Chanel Preston learned her business checking account had been shut down because the bank was worried about the Webcam shows she had on her site and had revoked the account.

In addition, the article discusses a lawsuit filed by Marc Greenberg, of MRG Entertainment, against JP Morgan Chase, who claimed JP Morgan Chase denied him a loan because of his association in the adult entertainment industry, citing moral reasons.  The court system will aim to figure out whether Greenberg was in fact discriminated against.

The Business Insider article also referenced a CNBC report about web cam girls which noted film and video distribution is giving way to Internet sites and Web cams. As a result, barriers to entry in the industry are being lowered and more of the industry is being based out of homes and being run through small business arrangements and partnerships, necessitating banking services.

Sadly, the government is much more involved in our home business, in more ways than one, than we ever imagined.  Their unwarranted and illegal intrusion is a violation of the civil rights of our citizenry and must be appropriately and legally dealt with. This is one of several areas which exhibit that our government is completely out of control.

With the government lurking about in an Orwellian nature, it may be time to break off those relationships with the cam girls and shut down that web cam.  Big brother is watching.
