OBAMA LIED — AGAIN: “Tax penalty to hit nearly 6M uninsured people”

Posted on by

From the Associated Press:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly 6 million Americans — significantly more than first estimated— will face a tax penalty under President Barack Obama’s health overhaul for not getting insurance, congressional analysts said Wednesday. Most would be in the middle class.

The new estimate amounts to an inconvenient fact for the administration, a reminder of what critics see as broken promises.

“An inconvenient fact.”  Translated: LIE.

The numbers from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office are 50 percent higher than a previous projection by the same office in 2010, shortly after the law passed. The earlier estimate found 4 million people would be affected in 2016, when the penalty is fully in effect.

That’s still only a sliver of the population, given that more than 150 million people currently are covered by employer plans. Nonetheless, in his first campaign for the White House, Obama pledged not to raise taxes on individuals making less than $200,000 a year and couples making less than $250,000.

And the budget office analysis found that nearly 80 percent of those who’ll face the penalty would be making up to or less than five times the federal poverty level. Currently that would work out to $55,850 or less for an individual and $115,250 or less for a family of four.

Average penalty: about $1,200 in 2016.

So, Joe Middle Class GOWP: how’s that Obama vote working out for you?

“Romney’s Gaffe” — no real controversy, just the truth:

Posted on by

First, the video from what was thought to be a private fundraiser in May of this year:

The DEM/MSM is taking this video from Mother Jones viral today, and every organ that can write, broadcast, bleat or whine is opining on its content.  The DEM/MSM is saying that Mitt Romney kissed half of the electorate goodbye in the video.

Sadly, in my estimation and that of others, what Romney said tends to be the truth.  The additional truth is that people don’t care to have their greed placed quite so bluntly on Front Street.  Makes them uncomfortable, you see.

The truth is — again — that too many Americans on numerous levels simply want:

The DEM/MSM is going to ensure that Romney’s video is in the forefront 24/7 for at least the next week, minimum.

That said, since any campaign involves a war of words, historically, everything is up for grabs.  If Romney’s words bear examination, I submit that Mr Obama’s words are also up for critical examination — in terms of “I actually believe in redistribution.”

This, of course, isn’t a fabrication on my part.  I’m not nearly so technologically facile as those who know me realize.

And allow me to state the obvious with regard to “earned success,” which is to what Mr Romney refers.  From Arthur Brooks of the American Enterprise Institute:

People take pride in success, in doing things for themselves.  This is the foundational point of Conservatism.  In three words: Free Cheese Corrupts.

Question: is this Romney’s proverbial “death knell”?

“Socialism always promises happiness, and delivers misery.”
– Arthur Brooks

I could not possibly have said it better.

Obama and the PC World: KILLING our First Amendment

Posted on by

Here is a photograph:

What is this?  It is: “Just after midnight Saturday morning, authorities descended on the Cerritos home of the man believed to be the filmmaker behind the anti-Muslim movie that has sparked protests and rioting in the Muslim world.”

What is this?  It is: The look of our very cherished First Amendment being abrogated.

Whereas — at first glance — you would believe that these First Amendment abrogators are members of the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, the truth is actually up a level.

This man — not a particularly ethical or wise or insightful man — is a Coptic Christian.  I suspect he created the video because his kind has been historically slaughtered in the Middle East at the behest of violent Muslims.  And I suspect he’d had enough.  Which resulted in his video.  He managed to escape from Egypt and took his history with him.

On the other hand, he’d somehow come into contact with the federal law enforcement system in terms of various financial fraud counts.  And let there be no mistake: evidently convicted.

Therefore, he was on “federal probation.”

From the UKDailyMail.com:

  • Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55 was escorted to the sheriff’s station in Cerritos for interview over alleged probation violation
  • Nakoula made inflammatory film ‘Innocence of Muslims’, sparking deadly protests across world and leading to the death of U.S. ambassador in Libya
  • In 2010 he was convicted of $800,000 worth of bank fraud
  • Suspected of using the alias Sam Bassil during film production but released on condition he didn’t access the internet or use aliases
  • Nakoula has reportedly denied involvement in the film

After arriving at his home just after midnight deputies escorted Nakoula to an awaiting car and he was taken to the station where he was questioned over his involvement in the film production which has been blamed for the mass protests across the Middle East which resulted in the death of four American citizens on Wednesday.

Convicted of $800,000 worth of bank fraud in 2010, Nakoula, who is suspected of using the alias Sam Bassil during the production of the controversial film was released on the condition that he did not access the internet or use aliases.

And here are the details.  The details you won’t read quite so conveniently in the DEM/MSM.

Federal probation is predominantly ineffective and gives human PO employee placeholders a point with which to make a paycheck with little if any actual action.

I know this on two levels: First, having worked for two federal law enforcement entities, and Second, having currently seen and experienced the complete and total incompetence of the federal probation system.

Most recently, a deputy with my department was savaged — and his wife and two children — in a rural community by a white male on federal probation.  He played loud music, smoked dope, sped on local roads, told my deputy he knew he was a cop and would take him down, threatened his wife and children, and wholly did what he wished when he wished.  Further, he posted his own behaviors and photographs on various social media networks.  To include the photographs of dope and tattoos and gangs and crimes.

With nary a peep from his federal probation officer.

Further, let me add the obvious: the offender had a black female PO, and my deputy was a white male.  You cannot tell me that the indifference of the offender’s PO didn’t include race, on two levels: her white probationer, and the problems of a white male complainant.  Further: a white male complainant as a LEO, having the temerity to challenge her veracity.

Two white males contesting each other: sounds like “no problem” to a black female PO.

Therefore, I know the massive inefficacy of the federal probationary system.  It simply reeks.

With that in mind, I would submit that the LASO was contacted by local federal authorities and asked to coordinate the detention of Nakoula.  On the pretext of a potential federal probationary violation.  Because federal authorities don’t do anything without a warrant or political support.  There is no such general concept as a “fresh arrest.”

That said, LASO knew that Nakoula was a hot point.  They didn’t want to be the agency responsible for the death of the man if assaulted in their detention.  They didn’t want Nakoula killed whilst in their custody.  Hence the large force.

Therefore the midnight extraction and the large number of LASO deputies present.

Two points federally:

– Nakoula was targeted for a very PUBLIC extraction because they wanted his name and address and point of contact to be in the public domain;
– They wanted him to be the focus of Islamic hate, and not Mr Obama.

By running the man into the public media, they made him an eliminational target 24/7.

It’s all bullshit.

Because there were multiple agendas going on here.

The LASO acquiesced to the midnight heist because they believed they were assisting the feds with a potentially-violent situation

The district AUSA got a call in the middle of the night telling him to put a lid on it.  “Threatened,” would be more likely.  “Just handle it,” is what he would have been told.

The federal government wanted to take the film down on YouTube.  Google, oddly enough, resisted this force.

In this case, Google was completely correct.

Now you know the truth.

General Motors pushing U.S. to sell stake: Obama Administration says NO

Posted on by

From the Wall Street Journal’s Market Watch:

By William Spain

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) — The Treasury Department is resisting General Motors’ push for the government to sell off its stake in the auto maker, The Wall Street Journal reports. Following a $50 billion bailout in 2009, the U.S. taxpayers now own almost 27% of the company. But the newspaper said GM executives are now chafing at that, saying it hurts the company’s reputation and its ability to attract top talent due to pay restrictions. Earlier this year, GM GM +0.10% presented a plan to repurchase 200 million of the 500 million shares the U.S. holds with the balance being sold via a public offering. But officials at the Treasury Department were not interested as selling now would lead to a multibillion dollar loss for the government, the newspaper noted.

See the full article here.

The Chevrolet Volt is a lie.  GM’s market share is falling.  Production of the Volt has stopped — again.  The federal government is the current largest purchaser of GM products.  Imagine that.

You see, ladies and gentlemen, this is what you get when you climb into bed with a rattlesnake.  Sooner or later it will bite you, no matter your “good intentions” or what you “feel” in terms of emotions.  Rattlesnakes cannot change their nature.  Neither can the federal government, unless you choke it within an inch of its life.

My own law enforcement department has not learned this lesson and I doubt that, with the current crop of administrators and those growing up absent my corruptive influence, it ever will.  We are Money Whores for the federal government.  A disturbing bulk of law enforcement is whoring itself for federal dollars.

So few persons and entities and agencies and states understand the concept that, when you take federal dollars, you are OWNED.  GM is just now beginning to understand the fool’s notion that somehow its results would somehow be different.

Those persons, agencies, entities or states who refuse federal dollars and refuse to whore themselves out — they are the ones worthy of admiration and respect.

Finally: despite this, GM needs to collapse if for no other reason than their administrators failed to see this conclusion coming.  So apparently, yes, they are that politically and managerially ignorant.  This in itself should keep America from purchasing GM cars until the entire top changes.

The government does not “own” me.

9/11 Middle East violence: OBAMA is RESPONSIBLE

Posted on by

The Obama DC Propaganda machine has been hard at work since last Tuesday, attempting to disabuse the world of the real reason for Islamic rioting and killing since 9/11/12.

According to DC, the violence stepped off because of the shabbily-produced film of one little Coptic Christian.  Despite the fact that Bill Maher’s own film Religulous was every bit as “debasing” and in a larger, more mainstreamed venue as well.  From The Washington Times:

Trying to appease the anti-American and anti-Semitic bigots in the Muslim world, as well as to redirect everyone’s attention from their own failed policies, White House spokesman Jay Carney and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton self-righteously blamed a recently surfaced “movie” as the reason for the Muslim riots.

However, in retrospect, that cheesy and hopelessly bungling “trailer” of “the movie” had been sitting on YouTube for months without much of an impact – just like Bill Maher’s well-produced, well-financed, and similarly unwatchable faith-bashing film had been out for years since its release in 2008.

Touche.

It isn’t about “American movies.”  That’s just an excuse, a ruse, for the simple-minded and the simply-led.

First, take an ignorant and naive president who has few true achievements or accomplishments to his credit — save the blessing of a slightly enhanced melanin count — puree with GOWPs, churn with little if any real-world experience, add heaping helpings of Reverend Wright, Saul Alinsky and William Ayers, then fold into an overall American naivete about the true nature of Arab radicalization.   .   .

.   .   . then add “spiking the football” by Mr Obama following the killing of Osama bin Laden:

Veterans groups already warned of the issue.  In Mr Obama’s own words, it was all about him.

Directly following the raid, Obama’s White House LEAKED secrets about the raid like a sieve.  SEAL Team 6, the DEVGRU, was kept out of the American media about 90 seconds before DC splattered it all over airwaves.  Obama did this, first, and with much overamped and egocentric posing.  Mark Owen’s book came much later.  Owen readily admits in his book, “No Easy Day:” “If my commander in chief is willing to talk, then I feel comfortable doing the same.”

Taunting the Muslims, Mr Obama?  “Spiking the football,” Mr Obama?  Using the killing of Osama bin Laden as a re-election tool?

Here’s the person truly responsible for the violent death of Ambassador Christopher Stevens:

Shame on you, Mr Obama, you duplicitous hack.
