Senators steal from US troops
Senators diverted $2.6 billion in funds in a defense spending bill to pet projects largely at the expense of accounts that pay for fuel, ammunition and training for U.S. troops, including those fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to an analysis.
Among the projects being funded at the possible cost United States Military Personnel lives is an educational institute named after the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, a Massachusetts democrat.
While most of the money taken from the operational military budget was from pork projects funded by democrats, there were some Republicans with their snouts in the pork trough, including the the two RINO senators from Maine.
Priorities
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics
It’s clear to see where our Dear Leader‘s priorities are. He has spoken with the General he personally place in charge of Afghanistan twice. He has had over 30 meetings to try to get the 2016 Olympics held the crime ridden city of Chicago.
Why this mixed up set of priorities? Simple, as the man who wrote the screenplay said, “Follow the Money!”
While the odds are that the city of Chicago is going to loose money hosting the Olympics, there will be people who get very, very rich off all the money that will be flowing through that city for that event.
Those people will be the political cronies of the Chicago democrat political machine. The people who supported our Dear Leader going back to his days as a “community organizer” and they now have their hands out. Paying off those political debts, with federal tax payer money, is clearly our Dear Leader‘s priority.
ACORN is in the news again
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics
You may have missed this if you depend on the NY Times for news, but ACORN, an organization with long term ties to our Dear Leader, has been caught providing illegal tax and home loan information to a pair of undercover investigative journalists posing as a pimp and a prositutute.
ACORN was caught not just proving information to cheat on taxes, they also provided information on how to hide under aged illegal immigrant prostitutes from the authorities. This was not an isolated incident either. This occur ed at three separate ACORN offices that we know of so far!
Illegal activity is nothing new for ACORN. Here is a short list of some crimes that they have been involved in:
- ACORN & Vote Fraud in New Mexico.
- RICO charges filed against ACORN
- Vote fraud in Chicago.
- ACORN workers charged with forging voter registrations in Pennsylvania
- ACORN encouraging felon voting in Virginia
- ACORN thugs attack members of the NY Senate
- A former Las Vegas ACORN executive has cut a deal with prosecutors, agreeing to testify against two other defendants in a voter fraud case.
Our Dear Leader had this to say about his ties to this criminal organization:
“I’ve been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.” — Barack Obama, Speech to ACORN, November 2007
Keep in mind that all this criminal activity has been funded by your tax dollars!
That may change, the Senate voted yesterday to cut federal funding for ACORN by a 83 to 7 vote.
The seven who voted for continuing federal funding for an organization that supports child prostitution included both democrats from Illinois and the Socialist Senator from Vermont.
The other bit of good news that have come from this investigative journalism on the criminal organization ACORN, is that the Census department has severed ties with ACORN.
This is just a short list of ACORN’s criminal activities. Check out ACORN Watch for a more complete list.
UPDATE: New video from ACORN’s San Bernardino, CA office. This is number four, so far…
Obama: Billions for ACORN, but not for the Exploration of Space!
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, economy, Our Dear Leader, Politics, Technology
As part of our Dear Leader’s porkulus plan, the criminal thugs at ACORN are getting $5 Billion in taxpayer funds.
How many real jobs will that create? I’m pretty confident that number is right around zero.
Now it is reported that NASA won’t be sending anybody to the moon anytime soon, that would require an additional $3 billion dollars a year. Taxpayer money which Team Lightbringer would rather spend on a criminal enterprise.
One thing that is clear from the American space program is that it created high paying, high tech jobs that contributed to the health of the American economy and spin off technology that has not just benefited America, but humanity as a whole. I’m not talking just Tang and Velcro here folks. The GPS system and satellite TV just two examples of space program spin off technologies that are still driving growth industries today. The weather satellite system that makes it possible to produce enough food to make famine obsolete is also a product of the US space program.
Ya, I said enough food to make famine obsolete. Let’s be honest here people, any wide spread famine on this planet in the last couple of decades has been the result of politics and not the lack of ability to produce or deliver the food.
To recap, an additional $3 billion a year to NASA would once again put Americans on the Moon. It would also be highly beneficial to the US economy by fueling the high tech industry, putting skilled American engineers back to work and producing a very noticable “trickle down” (more like a monsoon) effect on the industries that support that high tech economy. It would also spark an renewed interest in the sciences in American schools and universities, and promote a sense of adventure in America in a positive and constructive endevor.
Instead, our Dear Leader and the s0-called democrat “leadership” in Congress would rather pour that tax payer money down the drain by giving it to their political allies who are under investigation for massive vote fraud in multiple states.
Is this the “Hope and Change” you were expecting?
Three examples of the left’s base
Let’s take a look at three separate incidents that point out just how out of touch with the average American the liberal left, which is the core of the democrat party, is.
First we have Congressman Charles Rangel (democrat – NY), who is “already beset by a series of ethics investigations,” failed to report at $1 Million of additional assets. No wonder Rep. Rangel is always calling for tax hikes, as a noted tax cheat, he probably doesn’t expect to pay them.
Next we have a major fund raiser/donor for both Hillary Rodham Clinton and our Dear Leader has been arrested for fraud. Yup, shades of Norman Hsu, but this time there was a lot more money involved.
Hassan Nemazee, chairman of Nemazee Capital Corp. and a fundraiser for President Obama and Hillary Clinton, was arrested on charges that he tricked Citigroup Inc. into lending him as much as $74 million using phony documents.
Nemazee got the loan by telling Citibank that he held accounts with hundreds of millions of dollars which could serve as collateral, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said today in a statement. He used fake addresses and phone numbers to mislead the bank, prosecutors said.
The accounts “either never existed or had been closed years before Nemazee submitted the documents referencing those accounts,” Bharara said in the statement.
To wrap up, the Jawa Report lists two left wing extremist bombers.
First, by way of Gateway Pundit, we have this bit of news you won’t see on MSNBC.
A federal search warrant obtained by the Post-Dispatch connects a former Democratic campaign strategist to a Clayton bombing last year that seriously injured an attorney
and then we have these folks who plotted to bomb the Republican National Convention.
A Texas woman faces trial this month in Austin on charges she threatened to kill a government informant who infiltrated an Austin-based group that planned to bomb the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., last fall…
…Crowder and McKay were part of a group of activists that had gone to the Twin Cities to take part in street demonstrations. The FBI had infiltrated the group with Darby. Crowder and McKay built eight of the gasoline firebombs but didn’t use them, a fact law enforcement officials credited to Darby.
Yup, tax cheats, frauds, swindlers and violent criminals. The core of the democrat party base.
Update: Shining example of a leftist number 4. Maurice Schwenkler was arrested for smashing 11 windows at the Colorado democrat headquarters. Let us example Schwenkler’s political background. According to the Denver Post, a Maurice Schwenkler “received $500 from a political 527 committee called Colorado Citizens Coalition for “communications,” according to campaign finance disclosures.
The accountant for the 527 appears to be the same woman who handles the books for many other Democratic-leaning political committees.
A Maurice Schwenkler also signed an online 2005 petition to free anti-war Christian protesters who were captured in Iraq.”
I’m betting that Schwenkler wasn’t with the Soccer Moms at the Tea Party protests. This is looking like yet another case of leftist violence/vandalism committed so they can blame their political opponents.
Obama’s Snitch line is down
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Free Speech, Our Dear Leader, Politics
Hot Air is reporting that email to the Obama Snitch email address (flag@whitehouse.gov) is down and returning an error message.
A win for the First Amendment and the Rule of Law, two things the Obama Administration isn’t too keen on.
A look behind the scenes at an ObamaCare Astroturf event
A video report on Obama health care Town Hall – 11 August 2009 – Portsmouth NH
Originally posted at No Moss Here.
The left’s so-called “protesters” are being paid $10-$15 an hour. Where is the money coming from to pay for all of this Astroturf?
More lies from the left about Obamacare
Why do democrats feel the need to lie in order “sell” their so-called “Health Care Reform” program to the American People? Probably because it has little or none to do with improving the Health Care of most tax paying American citizens.
Rightwing Sparkle has yet another example of a what is probably a planted democrat operative lying at a Town Hall meeting.
On Aug. 11th our own Houston Chronicle displayed a picture of Shelia Jackson Lee hugging a woman who had asked a question at the townhall as well, but her question was in full support of the health care bill. The woman was identified as “Dr. Roxana Mayer, a pediatric primary care physician.” Turns out, she isn’t a doctor at all though. She had identified herself to the Chonicle that way though.
…
So, here we have someone asking a question, giving favor in support of the health care bill, posing as a doctor to give more credibility to her support. When in reality she was an Obama delegate and NOT a doctor.
If “Obamacare” really was beneficial to American Citizens, the simple truth would support the democrat’s policies. Since they feel the need to lie repeatedly about it, that should tell you all you need to know.
Update: HotAir points out that not only is Roxana Mayer not a doctor, she was an Obama delegate!
Another example of Obama Astroturf
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics
Local New Hampshire News reports that Team Lightbringer is bussing in so-called “protesters” to “support” ObamaCare. More of the paid ringers hired on Craigslist?
Obama is getting desperate
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Obamaspeak, Our Dear Leader, Politics
This is clear from his “speech” at his carefully packed with ringers speech in New Hampshire yesterday.
He told at least two two major whoppers in that attempt to hide the fact that a majority of Americans do understand “ObamaCare” and are very much against it.
The first was the flat out lie about AARP supporting his march to Socialism.
The second was his statement that there would be “no lines” under ObamaCare, which is a crock of shit. Let’s look at the reality of socialized medicine in Canada and England.
Although Canada has a population smaller than California, 830,000 Canadians are currently waiting to be admitted to a hospital or to get treatment, according to a report last month in Investor’s Business Daily. In England, the waiting list is 1.8 million.
Our Dear Leader thinks he can spout any nonsense he wants and no one will check him on it. Well, he’s right in assuming that no one at CNN/MSNBC/CBS/ABC/NY Times will ever bother to fact check the load of crap he is shoveling to the American People.
