Report: IRS Denied Tax-Exempt Status To Pro-Life Group On Behalf Of Planned Parenthood… This thing gets more unbelievable by the hour. Via Washington Examiner: IRS officials refused to grant tax exempt status two pro-life organizations because of their position on the abortion issue, according to a non-profit law firm, which said that one group was pressured not to protest a pro-choice organization that endorsed President Obama during the last election. “In one case, the IRS withheld approval of an application for tax exempt status for Coalition for Life of Iowa. In a phone call to Coalition for Life of Iowa leaders on June 6, 2009, the IRS agent ‘Ms. Richards’ told the group to send a letter to the IRS with the entire board’s signatures stating that, under perjury of the law, they do not picket/protest or organize groups to picket or protest outside of Planned Parenthood,” the Thomas More Society announced today. “Once the IRS received this letter, their application would be approved.” http://washingtonexaminer.com/report-irs-denied-tax-exempt-status-to-pro-lifers-on-behalf-of-planned-parenthood/article/2529750?custom_click=rss
DHS Freed 622 Illegal Immigrant Detainees With Criminal Records, Including 32 With Multiple Felony Convictions And Blamed It On Sequester Cuts… Nothing like putting the public at risk to make a political point. Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senators John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Carl Levin (D-Mich.), Ranking Member and Chairman of the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, today released the following new information about the February 2013 release of ICE detainees with criminal records: In February 2013, in a misguided effort to comply with anticipated budget cuts due in part to sequestration, without explanation or warning, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials released from custody 2,226 detainees into communities across the country. In response to requests for information by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), after a three month delay and under threat of a possible subpoena, finally disclosed details about those releases. DHS disclosed that, as part of the larger release, it freed 622 detainees with criminal records, including 32 with multiple felony convictions. Among the 32 detainees, for example, ICE’s Phoenix District Office released a detainee who had a felony second degree robbery prior conviction and countless convictions for prostitution and solicitation for lewd conduct. The Phoenix office releases also included an individual who had been convicted of an extreme case of driving under the influence (DUI) and harassment, as well as having caused criminal damage to property, as well as a detainee who had prior convictions for carrying a loaded firearm, DUI with a controlled substance, felony possession of drugs, second degree burglary, vandalism, and trespassing. The San Francisco Field Office released someone with a prior felony conviction to manufacture fake identifications as well as a man with two DUIs and two stalking convictions, the last one as recent as 2012. The Houston office deemed a person convicted of felony possession of marijuana of up to 2,000 pounds acceptable for release. http://gretawire.foxnewsinsider.com/2013/05/16/bi-partisan-announcement-dhsice-freed-622-detainees-with-criminal-records-including-32-with-multiple-felony-convictions/
Obama: Americans Still Racist Against Blacks, Hispanics, Gays, Muslims… And by Americans he means white people. Via WaPo: President Obama on Sunday summoned the graduates of historically black Morehouse College to “transform the way we think about manhood,” urging the young men to avoid the temptation to make excuses and to take responsibility for their families and their communities. Delivering a commencement address at the all-male private liberal arts college in Atlanta, Obama spoke in deeply personal terms about the “special obligation” he feels as a black man to help those left behind. “There but for the grace of God, I might be in their shoes,” Obama said. “I might have been in prison. I might have been unemployed. I might not have been able to support a family — and that motivates me.” The president also reflected on the absence of his father growing up, noting that he was raised by a “heroic single mother” and urged the young graduates not to shrink from their family responsibilities. [...] Obama added, “Laws and hearts and minds have been changed to the point where someone who looks just like you can somehow come to serve as president of these United States.” Yet Obama acknowledged that “the bitter legacies of slavery and segregation” have not vanished, that discrimination still exists. “As Morehouse men, many of you know what it’s like to be an outsider, to be marginalized, to feel the sting of discrimination. That’s an experience that a lot of Americans share,” Obama said. Hispanic Americans, Obama lamented, are told to “go back” home while strangers pass judgment on the parenting skills of gay men and lesbians or stare at Muslim Americans with suspicion.
I got it, his black father left his mother to raise him alone. Not a one of a kind story by any means.
Falling back to his favorite diversionary tactic. Every tim ethius ham-handed clown gets caught in some kind of malfeasance he uses the divide and conquer technique. What better way to take the spotlight off yourself then to create scenarios where one group is taking adavnatage of another. In this case he covered all of the subsets.
:roll: Joe Being Joe: Biden Confuses Gov. Malloy And Gov. O’Malley… <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_ERnWRlvNu4?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0"></iframe> Does he sound drunk to anyone else? Via Free Beacon: While giving the commencement address at the United States Coast Guard Academy, Vice President Joe Biden confused Connecticut Governor Dan Malloy with Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley. This is a particular embarrassing mix-up for Biden, seeing as he recently worked closely with Malloy on gun reform measures.
:roll: Joe is supposed to be an Irish-Catholic like us. How can he confuse any of them? Can you imagine if he was Polish?

Obama, Holder and Company Continue To Put the Banana in Banana Republic Home - by BigFurHat - May 29, 2013 - 20:31 America/New_York - 3 Comments And the DNC Communications Director, Brad Woodhouse, doubles down on the tyrannical way of conducting governance that these thugs practice. Twitchy - The most transparent administration ever didn’t do itself any favors at the peak of the Benghazi scandal by hand-selecting a number of journalists for a “deep background” meeting with Press Secretary Jay Carney. Now, with Attorney General Eric Holder allegedly investigating himself for seizing the phone records of AP reporters and the private emails of Fox News’ James Rosen, some Washington, D.C., news bureau chiefs are being summoned to an off-the-record briefing. The New York Times has reportedly sent its regrets, not wishing to further encourage the administration’s behind-closed-doors brand of transparency. More So, what did Brad Woodhouse Tweet? POTUS asked AG to review how leak investigations are done but some in the media refuse to meet with him. Kind of forfeits your right gripe. WHAT????? What did this dickmuscle just say? If reporters refuse to have a closed-door meeting with the thugs who are illegally investigating them, then they are getting what they deserve? Are you kidding me? And we are suppose to mouth, like retards, that this is the most transparent administration, EVER! There is no difference between any 3rd world government and these insane criminals in the White House. Read the outrage this ridiculousness has generated on Twitter HERE This sort of behavior breeds armed coups. It is the only thing these Marxist thugs understand. We need to fundamentally change the current Amerika, quick. Read more at http://iowntheworld.com/blog/#zjBi6mmf4qvmq2q5.99
Report: Obama Regime To Blame For Jailing Of Hero Pakistani Doctor Who Helped U.S. Kill Bin Laden… This guy is rotting away in some Pakistani shithole jail thanks to the big mouths in the White House while Obama runs around taking credit for killing Bin Laden. Sickening. Via Fox News: It was the Obama administration that sealed the fate of the Pakistani doctor jailed for helping nail Usama Bin Laden, by divulging key details after the fact and dooming any chance Shakil Afridi’s cover story could win his freedom, according to a confidential Pakistani report. When former Secretary of Defense and ex-CIA Director Leon Panetta publicly acknowledged Afridi’s role in the ruse which helped the CIA pinpoint Bin Laden’s presence in an Abbottabad compound, any chance that Pakistani authorities could help him get out of the country vanished, according to what some have called Pakistan’s version of the 9/11 Commission, a 357-page report from an independent body set up to probe the aftermath of the 2011 raid by Navy SEALs in which the Al Qaeda leader was killed. “The statement by the U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who was the CIA Director when May 2 happened, confirming the role of Dr. Afridi in making the U.S. assassination mission a success, rendered much of what Afridi told the Commission very questionable if not outright lies,” states the report, which has not been released, but which FoxNews.com has viewed. Indeed, Panetta and others in the Obama administration were sharply criticized domestically for discussing the raid and efforts involving Afridi to obtain DNA from the compound’s occupants by posing as a medical team offering vaccinations. Nearly five months before Afridi’s sentencing, while the doctor was being held and interrogated by Pakistan’s shadowy intelligence agency , Panetta spoke on record in an interview to CBS “60 Minutes” confirming Afridi’s role in late January 2012. The statements came after Afridi had testified to the commission, and sharply contradicted his story. “This was an individual, in fact that helped provide intelligence, that was very helpful in regards to this operation and he was not in any way treasonous towards Pakistan,” Panetta told the program in January, 2012, in the first acknowledgement of Afridi’s role. That prompted the Pakistani commission to conclude in its report that “Dr. Afridi had been cultivated by the CIA and ultimately used in its project to assassinate Usama Bin Laden.” http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/05/31/us-to-blame-for-jailing-hero-bin-laden-doctor-says-pakistani-report/#ixzz2Utfx2VMk
Biden: Brain Surgeon Told Me I Had Less Than A 50% Chance Of “Being Completely Normal”… Explains a lot. (CNSNews.com) – Speaking at the White House National Conference on Mental Health on Monday, Vice President Joe Biden told a sometimes serious and sometimes jocular story about the two brain surgeries he needed in 1988 to deal with cranial aneurysms. Biden told the White House audience “they take a saw and they cut your head off” and “they literally had to take the top of my head off.” He also recounted that as he was being wheeled into surgery he asked the neurosurgeon, “What are my chances of getting off this table completely normal?” The surgeon told Biden he had a better chance of living—and that that chance was in the 35 to 50 percent range. “The only totally un-chartered portion of the universe is the brain,” Biden said in his White House speech. “You know, as we used to say in the Senate, excuse the point of personal privilege here: I had two cranial aneurysms, and they literally had to take the top of my head off. I mean, they take a saw and they cut your head off, and go in to find the artery that is–one was leaking, the other that hadn’t, before it burst. http://cnsnews.com/news/article/brain-surgeon-told-biden-he-had-less-50-chance-being-completely-normal
WSJ Report: NSA Tracking Credit Card Transactions, Also Has Access To Phone Records From AT&T And Sprint Along With Verizon… I wonder what Senator Obama would have to say about this? WASHINGTON (WSJ) —The National Security Agency’s monitoring of Americans includes customer records from the three major phone networks as well as emails and Web searches, and the agency also has cataloged credit-card transactions, said people familiar with the agency’s activities. The disclosure this week of an order by a secret U.S. court for Verizon Communications Inc.’s phone records set off the latest public discussion of the program. But people familiar with the NSA’s operations said the initiative also encompasses phone-call data from AT&T Inc. and Sprint Nextel Corp., records from Internet-service providers and purchase information from credit-card providers. The agency is using its secret access to the communications of millions of Americans to target possible terrorists, said people familiar with the effort. Civil-liberties advocates slammed the NSA’s actions. “The most recent surveillance program is breathtaking. It shows absolutely no effort to narrow or tailor the surveillance of citizens,” said Jonathan Turley, a constitutional law expert at George Washington University. The arrangement with the country’s three largest phone companies means that every time the majority of Americans makes a call, NSA gets a record of the location, the number called, the time of the call and the length of the conversation, according to people familiar with the matter. The practice, which evolved out of warrantless wiretapping programs begun after 2001, is approved by all three branches of the U.S. government.
Ex-CIA Director Panetta Leaked Bin Laden Raid Info To Hollywood Screenwriter Do you think Obama will be investigating this leak? Talk about putting lives at risk, this directly put the Seals in danger. The families of Seal Team Six members who later died in an attack on their helicopter are furious that the unit was identified, making the Seals a target. Via NY Post: WASHINGTON –- Ex-CIA Director Leon Panetta while in office revealed “top secret” details of the Osama bin Laden raid during an event attended by “Zero Dark Thirty” screenwriter Mark Boal, according to a draft of a Pentagon inspector general report. The report, which was published yesterday by the watchdog group Project on Government Oversight, appears to support allegations made two years ago that the Obama administration was leaking information to Hollywood about the raid. The report shows that Panetta disclosed “top secret” and “classified” information during a speech at a June 2011 award ceremony at the CIA headquarters. Former CIA Director Leon Panetta revealed confidential information about the Osama bin Laden raid during an event attended by Hollywood filmmaker Mark Boal, according to Pentagon documents. It remained unclear whether Panetta knew that Boal was in the audience. “During this awards ceremony, Director Panetta specifically recognized the unit that conducted the raid and identified the ground commander by name,” it said. “According to the DOD Office of Security Review, the individual’s name is protected from public release under federal law.” “Mission security was violated to satisfy Hollywood. That is inexcusable,” fumed Rep. Pete King (R-LI), who requested the inspector general investigation two years ago when he was chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee. King said that he was demanding answers from Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and the Pentagon inspector general about why the report’s findings were delayed for as much as a year, only surfacing now through a leak. “That almost warrants an investigation of why it’s being held so long and whether or not any [political] pressure was being brought,” said King.
