Fraud, Waste, Abuse & Whole Bunch of Lies 2

If you think Planned Parenthood's claim that abortions are only 3% of their business, you need to be abused of that claim. Not to mention the false claim that they are "only" killing 3% of their customers. The problem is that percentage does not pass the smell test. Quote:  "In the early 90s, Planned Parenthood was experiencing a dire situation. According to the Harvard Business Review, the abortion business was flatlining in revenue and their profit margin was declining."  And,  "Flash forward twenty years later, and we see a billion-dollar abortion empire stripping taxpayers of $528.4 million in FY 2013. That’s a nine-fold increase.Right.  In that same period, Planned Parenthood went from committing 134,277 abortions (out of 1,495,000 nationwide) to 327,653 abortions (out of 1,000,000 nationwide). That’s a drastic increase from 9% of the abortion market to 32.7% in twenty years. Total U.S. abortions have declined ever since 1993, but Planned Parenthood has only grown in its dominance."

Add the discussion contained this piece to that above and you will have a good grasp on the truth of today's political/governmental reality.  Quote: "Activism and intimidation and in-your-face-ism is one thing when you are dissidents and activists fighting the system. Then you can plausibly argue that you are Davids fighting Goliath, even if you get tons of money from lefty billionaires.  But when you are the government then your activists and intimidators become regime street thugs. That goes for Credo Action, MoveOn.org, and all the 60-odd progressive organizations directly funded by George Soros. These are no longer the halcyon days of the mid-2000s when progressives were battling against the evil forces of George W. Bush. These days the progressives are the government. So when they use intimidation tactics -- on a United States senator no less -- they are acting like the street thugs of a South American thug dictator.  People don't like government bullies. They think: If the Obama administration can bully Tea Party groups, or go after a powerful United States Senator like this, who will they bully and intimidate next? What happens when those thugs turn on me?  That's what these progressives don't understand. And that ignorance is what is going to cost them the White House in 2017, and very likely more." http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/08/schumer_iran_flap_what_is_wrong_with_these_people.html

Speaking of the president this piece reveals that the FBI has damaging files on the family and the person generally accepted as his closest advisor, Valerie Jarrett.  Quote: "FBI files obtained by Judicial Watch reveal key Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett’s father, maternal grandfather, and father-in-law were hardcore communists.  Jarrett is a senior adviser to President Barack Obama; she has served in the White House during Obama’s entire tenure in office and has been a friend of the family since the early 1990’s.  How poorly did the leftist mainstream media investigate him and his life before his first and then his second election?  Why was the public not told the truth?  Many of us were aware of some but not all of the President's hard left leanings but were unable to convince those who supported him no matter what charges were leveled.  Now we face the multitude of problems he, his hard leftist associates and leftist policies have wrought.  http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2015/06/communism-in-jarretts-family/?And,   http://www.westernjournalism.com/fbi-files-dig-up-shocking-dirt-from-top-obama-advisers-past-that-could-explain-a-lot/?
  
A brief introduction to the consequences arising from the ongoing cultural war in America. Quote: "In the documentary that made him a household name, Dinesh D’Souza criticized the Obama administration for eroding America from within – which is exactly what’s happening to our country.  As D’Souza pays the price for his prescience, the vast left-wing conspiracy is sending a simple message to anyone who dares to follow in his footsteps: “Fall in line now.”" http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/08/americas_culture_war_starts_claiming_victims.html

How's this for crony capitalism?  Obama depresses an industry.  His good buddy billionaire buys up the shuttered or limping businesses on the cheap.  http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/08/wow_obama_drives_down_coal_company_stocks_and_soros_buys_them_on_the_cheap.html

Not only does the government screw up the economy it also does a very, very poor job of managing our tax dollars.  http://responseaction.com/Article/solyndra-lied-feds-wont-stop-new-round-giveaways?

Despite what the President, Al Gore or the Pope say, extraordinary efforts to "curb" global warming is an economic disaster without any credible evidence that actions taken are or will solve something most sane people believe is a concocted myth.  Quote: "Alex Epstein, author of the Moral Case For Fossil Fuels, sets out the fundamental problem with the climate change industry here:
..Increasing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere from 0.03 per cent to 0.04 per cent has not caused and is not causing catastrophic runaway global warming. Dishonest references to “97 per cent of scientists” equate a mild warming influence, which most scientists agree with and more importantly can demonstrate, with a catastrophic warming influence – which most don’t agree with and none can demonstrate.
     That’s it. If you accept the validity of that statement — and how can you not: it is unimpeachably accurate and verifiable — then it follows that the $1.5 trillion global warming industry represents the most grotesque misuse of manpower and scarce resources in the history of the world.    http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/08/08/climate-change-the-hoax-that-costs-us-4-billion-a-day/? 


This is progress Obama style.  Food stamp rolls have increased by 16 million since he arrived in the White House.   http://dailysignal.com/2015/08/30/in-2008-fewer-than-30-million-used-food-stamps-now-46-million-do/?

Media fraud committed against the American public.  Quote: "The media has tried very hard to keep the issue of illegal alien crime from entering the public consciousness. If people were informed of the truth, they could make better decisions regarding how this country deals with illegal immigration. The left can’t have that. So the media have ignored and suppressed stories that would shock the conscience in order to further an agenda.  It is censorship ‘on a massive scale,’ as Tancredo points out." http://patriotsandpolitics.com/more-than-30-of-murders-in-some-states-are-committed-by-this-one-group/ 

This is a sad tale, well established by the factual  record, of how the left routinely demonizes and destroys conservatives using the legal system to do so.  Quote: "The left viciously targeted him (Sen Ted Stevens) when he was 84, abusing the legal system using classic Alinsky tactics until Stevens’ name and career were utterly destroyed.  Unable to beat Republicans at the ballot box as often as they want, the left now selectively targets Republicans who are less likely to be able to defend themselves, frequently using the Democrat dominated legal system to tie them up in court for years, destroy them financially and tarnish their reputations."   http://townhall.com/columnists/rachelalexander/2015/04/13/ted-stevens-the-lefts-original-blueprint-on-how-to-destroy-an-elected-republican-n1984241/page/full

This item addresses a tax matter that worked out well for both President Obama and his chief lieutenant Valarie Jarrett even though they claim to not like it.  Quote: "So Jarrett worked on a matter in which she had a strong personal financial stake, which seems to violate federal law. It was in her interest that the effort to close the loophole fail And – surprise! – it did fail.  Does anyone expect the Justice Department to investigate?  That sort of scrutiny is only for the president’s enemies."     http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/06/valerie_jarrett_profited_from_tax_loophole_obama_rails_against.html

California has a long history of draughts. To try and pen it on global warming is grasping at straws and downright dishonest. Mitigation efforts to assure water is available for the peoples needs has not well managed by California government which is largely beholden to environmentalist.  That coupled with bad decision making exacerbate the problem.  Here is a synopsis of the situation which this item says is at least mostly manmade.  Quote: "Since the 1970s, when Brown took his first turn as governor, California greens have successfully halted construction on new water storage facilities. In other words, while the state’s population has doubled since the 1960s, there have been no major water retention projects completed.  To make matters worse, the water that remains doesn’t all go to humans. The Wall Street Journal explains that the state’s “environmental regulations require that about 4.4 million acre-feet of water – enough to sustain 4.4 million families and irrigate one million acres of farmland – be diverted to ecological purposes. Even in dry years, hundreds of thousands of acre feet of runoff are flushed into San Francisco Bay to protect fish in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.”  Then comes the kicker: “During the last two winters amid the drought, regulators let more than 2.6 million acre-feet out into the bay.”    http://cfif.org/v/index.php/commentary/61-state-issues/2534-californias-water-rationing-a-man-made-disaster 

This is incredibly incompetent and irresponsible not to mention a waste of taxpayer money.  Quote: "According to the OIG, the SSA approved at least 218 cases between 2011 and 2013 where residents of Puerto Rico were given disability benefits for “an inability to communicate in English.” The audit concluded that rules on eligibility followed a one-size-fits-all pattern, failing to take the conditions of the local community into consideration when determining outcomes.  Huh. I could have sworn there was a big flap only a few years ago where liberals were upset that Americans thought English should be the official language of the U.S. If it isn’t, then why is the ability to speak it a factor in whether or not a person should be given disability benefits? Funny how these socialists want to have it both ways."   http://totalconservative.com/puerto-ricans-get-disability-for-speaking-spanish/    Here is an item detailing the waste that goes on at the Social Security Administration.  Quote: " The Social Security Administration (SSA) overpaid individuals a total of $371.5 million in disability benefits from fiscal year 2009 through fiscal 2013, according to a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report."   http://freebeacon.com/issues/social-security-administration-overpaid-371-5-million-in-disability-benefits/

This is unbelievable.  The left is all up in arms about the dentist who shot and killed a beloved lion in Africa but has little to say about Planned Parenthood's killing of millions of innocent babies or illegal immigrants killing innocent Americans.  Is that a symptom of misplaced values?     http://townhall.com/columnists/brianandgarrettfahy/2015/08/03/a-lions-share-of-misplaced-outrage-n2034031?   Contrast the hype over the killing of an African lion with this item.  Multiply the number of sites committing,according to a state of Florida investigation, by fifty states and now we have a criminal conspiracy of major proportions.   http://eaglerising.com/22002/florida-catches-planned-parenthood-breaking-the-law-by-doing-2nd-trimester-abortions/   And to make matters worse read this depressing account of their lies and deceptions in attempts to cover their apparent illegal activities.   http://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2015/08/12/new-planned-parenthood-video-exposes-abortion-giants-consent-lie-n2038024    This piece reveals some the really dark history of Planned Parenthood.   https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2015/08/12/planned-parenthood-founder-spoke-at-ku-klux-klan-rally/

The federal government has no business muscling in on local zoning regulations.  A giant overreach and most inappropriate.   http://www.nationalreview.com/article/421766/fair-housing-comes-home-hillary

Although he has no idea what he is talking about he is arrogantly willing to commit citizens tax monies for his fantastical ideas.  He cares not one whit about the people and the devastating effect his misguided policies has on us.  His concern is doing what HE wants to do be it misguided or not.  Quote: Back in 2008, Obama told the SF Chronicle that electricity rates would "necessarily skyrocket...And they are going to skyrocket- unnecessarily, as this is all over the phony issue of climate change.
The Obama administration will argue that there will be savings coming from renewable energy jobs. But the AP points out that this likely won't happen."   http://townhall.com/tipsheet/aaronbandler/2015/08/03/uhoh-obama-to-unleash-biggest-step-ever-to-combat-climate-change-n2033901
