Scandals & Such

Government, its elite private enterprise and academic partners as well as the mainstream media more often than not whitewash, hide/cover up, deny, overlook or destroy evidence, enact/support destructive policies, rewrite history and much more.  Their efforts are targeted at sustaining their power and control over what the public sees, hears and knows about nefarious goings on.  That enables them to control a duped citizenry.  This item documents just some of many examples.  Many you may have heard of.  Some maybe not.  Others probably not.  I may be accused of being a conspiracy nut but I assure you these items are fact based.

This item details uncovered evidence of illegal collusion between the IRS, Justice Department and the FBI to criminally prosecute targeted conservative groups.  The repeated denials and cries of baseless witch hunts are losing out to facts.  Quote: "Now, new documents obtained by government watchdog Judicial Watch through two different Freedom of Information Act lawsuits show extensive collaboration between the IRS and DOJ (and subsequently the FBI) to go after conservative groups with criminal charges. The IRS likely violated federal law by illegally sharing 1.25 million pages of taxpayer information with DOJ, which were contained on nearly two dozen FBI backup tapes. Further, information shows DOJ wanted IRS officials who were scheduled to testify in front of Congress about the targeting scandal to turn over planned remarks to them first before delivering on Capitol Hill."  These are the kind of goings on in the "most transparent" administration in history.

This Judge is about hold the Head of the IRS and DOJ attorneys for contempt and rightly so.  Rest assured that they are either following the President's lead, or acting on his orders.   http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2015/07/30/federal-judge-threatens-contempt-for-irs-commissioner-over-lois-lerners-lost-emails-n2032387?        

What about this?  You will not believe what the Obama administration has done now.  Quote: "Nothing says the Iran nuclear deal is great for America like sending Chinese and Russian lobbyists to convince Democrats to vote for it.  Some of Washington’s less reliable partners are worried too: Top diplomats from Russia and China joined a rare meeting of world powers’ envoys on Capitol Hill this week with roughly 30 Senate Democrats to tamp down concerns over the nuclear agreement.  These people can’t be bothered to consult their constituents but they have time to be schmoozed by representatives of two totalitarian powers who are united in damaging American interests."    http://www.redstate.com/2015/08/08/obama-administration-uses-china-russia-lobby-democrats/?  Any Democrat who sets aside the interests of their constituents and the Constitution and follows the lead set by these totalitarian countries needs to be subjected to immediate recall.

This item provides a quick summary of the scandals the left has perpetrated against our country.  http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/07/disastrous_consequences_of_lib_indoctrination_from_the_60s_to_obama.html  

This administration is filled with elitists who flaunt the law, ethics, and have absolutely no regard for the constitution or concern for the interest of average citizens.     

Just another scandal in the works.  Quote: "U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon in February signed an order requiring the Obama administration to release documents on a continual basis through the spring and summer. The Justice Department said at least 50 documents in the Pentagon have been identified as relevant, but only one has been turned over. And Justice unilaterally set a new deadline for the release and then ignored it, Mr. Klayman said. Throughout, he said, Justice lawyers have refused to take his phone calls."  Obama's Justice Department is lawless.    http://eaglerising.com/22017/obama-violates-judges-order-on-extortion-17-probe/

Another example of how President Obama's ill conceived policies do the exact opposite of what he says they will do.  The EPA ruling he is imposing on the nation will cost Americans millions of dollars and will most hurt those at the lower end of the financial spectrum and those living in rural areas.  He seems determined to do everything in his power to follow his dream of destruction of our country using our money as he pursues his utopian dream that to this point has not approached anything remotely resembling a utopia.  Quote: "Yesterday, the president announced his Clean Power Plan, which is aimed to tackle the phantom threat of global warming. In doing so, the president has put rural America, black Americans, Hispanic Americans, and those on fixed-income seniors in the crosshairs."   http://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2015/08/04/obama-puts-rural-america-in-the-cross-hairs-n2034636?  Another take.   http://www.nationalreview.com/article/421992/clean-power-plan-will-cost-billions-wont-lower-temperature

The state of Oregon provides us with a state level an example of disastrous big government arrogance and incompetence.   http://humanevents.com/2015/07/30/cover-oregon-scandal-illustrates-the-arrogance-and-audacity-of-failed-big-government/?

Everyone by now knows that two Inspector Generals recommended the DOJ open a criminal investigation into the Hillary Clinton email debacle.  The New York Times accurately reported the story.  But Hillary apparently gave them the once over and demanded they change the story so that she did not look so bad.  I cannot see how this woman will survive her presidential run.  Her numerous gaffs, stumbles, long history unethical behavior and now even criminal behavior should do her in. http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2015/07/24/new-york-times-stealth-edits-clinton-email-story-at-her-command/   Please note that the Times collapsed under pressure from this woman who thinks she can do anything she wants and get away with it.  The Times has no journalistic principles.   This extends the conversation.  The Hillary Clinton and her team are totally dishonest, deceptive and unethical.  http://www.redstate.com/2015/07/25/classified-information-found-hillarys-private-email-

Scandalous behavior is bipartisan.  Many in the GOP criticize one of its members for criticizing its Senate leader.  My take is that the member's criticism of the leadership was right on target.  He joins with leftists in plotting his/their agenda.  So, he is much more a leftist than a conservative.  The point is that the elites in both parties only pretend to have serious differences. Their public spats are for show.  They both want big government.  When one follows their actions (not their words) one discovers they are truly more alike than they are different. And their tactic of punishing the rank and file for not doing their bid is well established.  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/07/27/senate-takes-rare-sunday-votes-but-real-drama-is-gop-leaders-rebuke-cruz/   Here is a synopsis of Senator Cruz's criticism of Senate Majority Leader Mitchell.   More honesty is needed for all elected officials.  http://patriotupdate.com/ted-cruz-goes-on-senate-floor-obliterates-mitch-mcconnell-to-his-face/ 

Our government has a long record of egregious activities.  This piece provides a summary of just a few of them.  We need to cleanse our nation and ourselves by repenting for our lack of interest in what government does, voting without knowing anything of substance about candidates, not engaging in debates about serious matters, allowing our culture to decay without a whimper of protest, dismissing the role religion/morality has played in our history, etc., etc. and return to the moral basis the Founders established for us.  I fully believe most Americans are good, upstanding citizens.  It is the elitists inside and outside government that drive our national decline as a moral nation.  Our problem is that the sheeple mindlessly follow their lead. http://eaglerising.com/21548/liberals-favorite-game-cant-refute-the-truth-attack-the-messenger/

Get this.  Illegal aliens outnumber Americans who are unemployed.  Does that seen right to you?  Quote: "The number of illegal immigrants in the United States totaled 11.3 million in 2014, outnumbering the 9.6 million Americans who were unemployed in the same year, according to data from Pew Research Center and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).  “An estimated 11.3 million unauthorized immigrants lived in the U.S. in 2014,” says a Pew report. “The new unauthorized immigrant total includes people who cross the border illegally as well as those who arrive with legal visas and remain in the U.S. after their visas expire.”  Of those 11.3 illegal immigrants, 8.1 million are participating in the labor force. “Unauthorized immigrants make up 5.1% of the U.S. labor force,” Pew says. “In the U.S. labor force, there were 8.1 million unauthorized immigrants either working or looking for work in 2012.”    http://freebeacon.com/issues/illegal-immigrants-outnumber-unemployed-americans/    Obama's policies help illegals and hurt American citizens. 

This item exposes a scandalous government and provides supporting details as well as cogent commentary.  Quote: "As Lawrence Stratton and I show in our book (2000, 2008) there is no justice in America. We titled our book, “How the Law Was Lost.” It is a description of how the protective features in law that made law a shield of the innocent was transformed over time into a weapon in the hands of the government, a weapon used against the people. The loss of law as a shield occurred prior to 9/11, which “our representative government” used to construct a police state."  http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2015/07/23/eroding-character-american-people-paul-craig-roberts/

This is what one man proposes as an action plan to refute the incessant deceptions, lies and vicious attacks the Democrats levy against conservatives.    http://patriotupdate.com/the-democrats-lack-absolute-morality-and-their-actions-prove-it/  Not only that, the supports of the Democrat party join with many uneducated people who can be influenced to reject the Constitution and Bill of Rights (without knowing what they are/contain) and willing sign on to irresponsible Democrat expenditures of taxpayer dollars.  It is  true that many supporters of Republicans follow suit.  That is a function of irresponsible media, poor public educations and poor government policies that contribute to the problems.  http://conservativebyte.com/2015/08/hillary-supporters-caught-on-tape-blindly-agreeing-to-repeal-the-bill-of-rights/ 

An opinion worth pondering.  http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/08/the_possibility_of_treason.html

To sum up.  Think about the contents of these items.  May offend some readers but my assessment is that they are mostly accurate.  http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/07/a_liberal_is.html    And,  http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/07/a_liberal_is_part_2.html

Finally, even though it may seem so given the above content, I am not a Republican.  I am a conservative with libertarian leanings.  I believe both political parties are corrupt to the core but the progressive Democrats/liberals are the worse of the two.
