From Argus Hamilton:

A Los Angeles squirrel was found dead of bubonic plague Friday. Six hundred years ago the bubonic plague killed half the people of Europe, and the labor shortage created a huge economic boom. But remember, if it gets us out of this recession, it’s just a plague.

 

President Obama spoke at Central Missouri College Wednesday. His staffers refused to allow College Republicans or anyone wearing patriotic clothing into the building. Everyone not allowed inside was forced into a boxcar and transported to IRS headquarters.

 

The IRS employees’ union stated Friday they don’t want to switch health coverage to ObamaCare. IRS agents have seen it and they don’t want it. ObamaCare limits the number of pints of blood you can have, and vampires won’t go any place that’s got a two-drink limit.

 

Saudi Prince Alawed bin Talal warned that soaring U.S. oil drilling threatens Saudi oil profits. U.S. oil imports are at a low and U.S. oil exports are up. People who used to accuse Barack Obama of being a Muslim never thought it might make him a natural oil sheik as well.

 

PGA star Hunter Mahan was the second-round leader in the Canadian Open when he left the course to attend his baby’s birth in Dallas and gave up the million-dollar prize. He’s not as stupid as he sounds. The taxes in Canada are so high that by not winning a million dollars up there and winding up in Texas, he came out a hundred thousand dollars ahead.

 

President Obama held a meeting with his cabinet at Camp David last weekend. They kicked around new tax-raising ideas in the next House budget negotiations. There was once a time when a fool and his money were soon parted but now it happens to everybody.

 

The White House asked stars to urge young adults to buy ObamaCare. Young people must pay to subsidize health care for older people, so their parents will live forever and they’ll never inherit any money to pay off their student loans. It’s only a matter of time before young people secede from the Union.

 

Saudi Prince Alawed bin Talal warned that soaring U.S. oil drilling under the Obama Administration threatens OPEC. Right now, Wall Street, big banks, and oil are booming and Detroit is bankrupt. Now it’s the Democrats who want to see Obama’s birth certificate.

 

President Obama declared Tuesday that the Keystone pipeline would only provide fifty permanent jobs. That’s true as far as it goes. However, you could say the New England Patriots only provide fifty permanent jobs but look at the jobs they generate in food, beverage, clothing sales, television ad revenue and, this year, blood spatter analysis and Bible sales.

Obama scandals phony or have we elected a phony president? –  Dave Weinbaum summarizes a few of the crimes that the BHO regime has been caught committing, including this on the IRS

Lois “Fifth Amendment” Lerner, the IRS manager has admitted to flagging Tea Party Applications to form tax-exempt 501 (C) (4) s. Some of these apps have been illegally held for years without approval. Sworn testimony before Congress has tied the man who gave direct orders to discriminate against the law, Obama- appointed lawyer William Wilkens to the WH. According to White House logs, Wilkens was at the 1600 Pennsylvania two days before giving the marching orders for IRS agents to shove Tea partier applications into the permanently delayed file. Testimony from Tea Party victims has revealed their inability to raise money to support Mitt Romney, thus swaying a Presidential election to Obama, whose backing organizations remained unencumbered.

For a supposedly “Phony” scandal, this IRS mess reeks…

Posted by taxguru on August 1, 2013

As is SOP for the libs, Fox News is pretty much the only one to cover these scandals.  The MSM are heeding the BHO order to ignore and cover them up.

House subpoenas Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew for IRS documents –  And the IRS shredders are going into maximum power.

 

A Slo-Mo IRS Cover-Up –  From National Review

 

New Links Emerge in the IRS Scandal –  More from the WSJ on Lois Lerner’s involvement in illegal activities.

 

Did IRS Help Other Agencies Target Conservatives?  –  Another “Do bears crap in the woods?” rhetorical question.

 

House panel probing new allegations against IRS –  Fox News video.

 

IRS chief says he’d rather not switch to ObamaCare plan –  Consistent with the sense of royal entitlement that government employees have.  Only we peons have to obey the laws, which exempt government employees.

 

Don't focus on phony scandals photo DontFocusOnPhonyScandals-Recovery_zpsf786d55e.gif

 

Obama nominates restructuring expert to take over IRS –  who is being tasked with covering up the past crimes of employees helping the BHO campaign.

 

House panel accuses IRS’ Werfel of stonewalling probe –  Unlike how IRS treats taxpayers, where we are all presumed to be guilty and are forced to prove our innocence, IRS employees are assumed to be angels and the GOP is forced to prove their misdeeds. 

 

E-mails Suggest Collusion Between FEC, IRS to Target Conservative Groups –  More damage caused by the IRS Ice Queen Lois Lerner.

 

Issa accuses IRS of obstruction, warns of consequences –  We shouldn’t hold our breath waiting for the IRS miscreants to be punished for their crimes.

Laughing AT (not with) our rulers…

Posted by taxguru on July 29, 2013

 

From Fred Thompson:

TV star Nathan Fillion refused to show up on set recently, while negotiating for a 4-day work-week. Thanks to Obamacare, most Americans will get that whether they want it or not. 

 

Due to a computer error, PayPal accidentally credited a man in Pennsylvania $92,233,720,368,547,800. Heck, that could have paid for 6 months of Obamacare. 

 

In Waukegan, IL, police said they are investigating at least two incidents in which a man caused slow leaks in young women’s car tires, then offered to help them. Think he got the idea from Obama’s economic plan? 

 

The Department of Housing and Urban Development plans to map every neighborhood in America in an effort to “eliminate segregation”. Oh… so the government’s going to change their focus from eliminating employment for a while?

 

 The IRS lawyer who targeted Tea Partiers for auditing met with President Obama 2 days before implementing the program last year. Probably just Obama vetting Treasury Secretary nominees.

 

 From Jay Leno:

Neural scientists at M.I.T. say they can plant false memories in your brain. No, that is not new. Politicians have been doing that for years. They’re called campaign promises.

 

In a speech about the economy, President Obama said we’ve all been distracted by phony scandals. It’s time we started getting distracted by the phony recovery.

 

The head of the TSA said beginning later this year people can pay an $85 fee that will allow them to go through the airport line very quickly with minimal checking. Or as terrorists call that, money well spent.

 

From Argus Hamilton:

President Obama gave an hour-long speech on Wednesday in which he complained that the House probes into the IRS and Justice Department are just phony scandals. No one paid attention. In order make the news these days, he would have to confess to lewd-texting tea-partiers to avenge Trayvon.

 

Phil Mickelson paid half his two-million-dollar prize money for winning the Scottish and British Open to British tax collectors. It supports Britain’s cradle-to-grave welfare system. Maybe now Phil Mickelson understands why the gallery made him feel like a king.

 

The Bank of England will put Jane Austen’s portrait on ten pound currency bills to salute women, It’s been tried before. When the U.S. put Susan B. Anthony on a dollar coin in the Seventies. you’d give one to the homeless and they’d say they weren’t THAT hungry.

Our phony pResident dismisses all scandals as not worthy of his royal attention

Posted by taxguru on July 29, 2013

For anyone expecting something to be done in regard to the admitted IRS crimes, BHO tossed cold water on that by using his magic wand to declare all of the scandals as phony, including the deaths in Benghazi that he and Hitlery caused.  As always, our mainstream media have taken up this message and are continuing to cover up and lie about the IRS and other scandals.

Lew Defends Administration Handling of IRS Controversy –  The new guy is doing what BHO wants and continuing the cover-up.

 

Real Scandals Denied by a Phony President –  Arnold Ahlert

Are media buying into ‘phony scandal’ claim?  –  They obviously don’t believe the scandals are phony; but they are obeying their orders to promote that line as part of their job to prop up their messiah as infallible.

 

Lew Won’t Say Whether Chief Counsel Has Been Asked About IRS Scandal –  The new Treasury secretary does his part to cover things up.

 

Nothing ‘phony’ about O’s scandals –  Not to those of us who live in the real world instead of the Planet Washington DC.

 

Obama dismisses his phony scandals, but hails his phony recovery –  He has been endowed with the power to define reality was whatever he wants it to be.

Records of Christine O’Donnell tax snooping disappear –  Does anyone else remember when they used to say that the coverup was worse than the crime?

 

Did IRS appointee meet with Obama before new screening guidelines released? –  Do bears crap in the woods?

 

Lois Lerner’s Ace in the Hole –  Similar to other organized crime family members who try to cut deals to reduce their punishment.

 

From Brent Bozell, who has made a career out of analyzing the ever-growing liberal media bias in this country.

From Argus Hamilton:

Democrats love the Royal Family because they display the life that’s possible when you live off the government and keep having kids.

 

Senate Republicans weighed a plan Tuesday to refuse any funding for implementing ObamaCare when it becomes law this fall. You can’t make it up. ObamaCare turned out to be so costly and so unenforceable it’s got Americans open to the idea of DarwinCare.

 

Alex Rodriguez faced a possible lifetime suspension from baseball Thursday despite his convincing denials of recent steroid use. It points to a clinical study that says people get better at lying the more they lie. It really shows the need for term limits in Washington.

 

The U.S. Senate passed a bill allowing college students to get student loans at existing market rates. The tuition costs are insane today. They’re necessary to fund half-million dollar salaries for professors, otherwise who do we have to teach kids that wealth is evil?

 

From Jay Leno:

According to a new study, lying gets easier over time. People get better at lying the more they do it. See, that’s why you have to have term limits.

 
 
From Conan:
 
The royal baby is set to inherit $1 billion. In fact, he’s so rich that he’s already dating a girl half his age.

Clint’s Detroit Update

This update to the accidentally pro-Obama ad Clint Eastwood did last year is great.  It comes from this episode of Mash Gordon.

Taxation with Secret Representation

Posted by taxguru on July 25, 2013

Reading this news item from CCH made my stomach turn.

Baucus, Hatch Promise Lawmakers 50 Years Secrecy for Tax Comments

Since our elected officials are supposed to be our public servants, we should know everything they do so we can make reasoned decisions as to whether or not we want to keep them in office or vote in someone else. 

When their votes and other official actions are sealed up from public view for 50 years, this is nothing short of chicken-shit and just another step in their devolution of the Constitution to become an elite and unaccountable Royal class in this country.

Any comments on tax policy made by our elected rulers must be in the immediate public record and they should be made to defend them now.  Any ruler supporting this 50 year shield should be voted out of office, if not impeached for violating their oath of office.  That goes for GOP and Dims.

From Jay Leno:

Detroit has become the largest city in U.S. history to file for bankruptcy. What happened was Detroit’s population dropped something like 70 percent, but the government got bigger. The tax base got smaller, but the government got bigger. Thank God that kind of thing could never happen in Washington.

 
 
 

Detroit filed for bankruptcy Friday listing eighteen billion dollars in municipal debt and pensions it can’t pay. The declining business revenues can’t support government services. President Obama just told reporters that if he had a city it would look like Detroit.

 

Barack Obama said Friday he himself might have wound up like Trayvon Martin. Not likely. Any black kid who was destined to double the Dow Jones, save banks and double oil profits would be greeted in any gated community with gold, frankincense and myrrh.

From Argus Hamilton:

House of Cards with Kevin Spacey scored many Emmy nominations Friday. It reveals the world of politics as a life of lying, manipulation, double crossing and blackmail and access granted in return for sexual favors and cash. There is also a negative side to politics.

 

IRS employees testified in Congress that a White House political appointee ordered them to target conservatives They loathe conservatives. Osama bin Laden’s second biggest mistake was letting Democrats catch him in satellite photos wearing a cowboy hat.

  

From Fred Thompson:

President Obama said he wants to use Google’s model to create “a smarter government”. Nah, he should try the Twitter model: no new laws over 140 characters long.

 

Scientists have developed a revolutionary new blood test that can tell you how long you will live. Big deal. Obama already developed a panel that will do the same thing.

 

All 45 Senate Republicans are calling for the implementation of Obamacare to be permanently delayed. President Obama disagreed, pushing for a permanent delay in economic recovery, instead.

 

Despite President Obama’s announcement to the contrary, Nancy Pelosi said “the employer mandate was not delayed”. Apparently Obama hasn’t given her a bill to pass so she can find out for sure.

 

After a year, the State Department has yet to fully comply with requests under the Freedom of Information Act to list Hillary Clinton’s travel expenses. Well, at least you can be sure Benghazi visits didn’t cost a dime.

 

After declaring bankruptcy a few months ago, Hostess announced that Twinkies will soon be returning to store shelves, but now they’ll be 10% smaller. Ah… the perfect metaphor for Obama’s “recovery”.
