Fault Line

I've written before on Obamatrade (see: Trust Me), but now, as more and more of the details of this Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact leak out, I am getting very chary about this pact (really a treaty) and how the Obama administration is attempting another end-run around the U.S. Constitution. Heroic Senator Jeff Sessions, unlike many of his Senate-mates, has read this bill and is revealing enough of its onerous details to cause many second thoughts on this fast-track authority that the administration is seeking ... you really should read about his revelations ... see: Breitbart Story.

In fact, Obamatrade might well be the fault line in the Republican field of candidates for the presidential nomination in 2016. Unfortunately, my favorite candidate, Marco Rubio seems once again to be on the wrong side of this geographic schism ... just like he originally was on immigration ... as part of the Senator Chuck Schumer-led Gang of Eight. Also on the wrong side of this issue are Senator Lindsey Graham, Senator Ted Cruz and presidential contenders Jeb Bush and Rick Perry. Against this ultra-secret deal are Senator Rand Paul, Rick Santorum, Carly Fiorina, Dr. Ben Carson, Bobby Jindal and Donald Trump. Both Senators Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio voted to authorize this partnership without reading its details.

On the Democrat side, Hillary Clinton favors this legislation while Martin O'Malley and Senator Bernie Sanders oppose it.

This week the House of Representatives takes up this bill and, heaven forbid, if they pass it, President Obama will be one step closer to an absolute monarchy ... perhaps, with a more trustworthy president, this partnership wouldn't be so dangerous. (Representative Paul Ryan has already indicated that he is for this bill.) I just hope enough other representatives take the time to read this bill (or talk to Senator Sessions) before they cast their votes.

IRS

Our tax collection agency, the IRS, has been turned into a slimy political tool, the Indefensible Repressive Scumbags, by the Obama administration.  I clearly am risking a tax audit by this pond-scum of a government agency for calling it out … but I feel that it is way out of control and I, nay we all, need to speak up. Yes, its repressive actions toward the Tea Party and other patriotic organizations surrounding their applications for 501-c-4 status before the last presidential election was outrageous and blatantly illegal. The probable instigator of these actions, Lois Lerner, needs to be severely punished by Congress and the Justice Department (ha ha!). And we clearly should find out who gave her her marching orders.

Additional IRS’s scumbag actions center on its treatment of Ben Carson, a black doctor and former Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. Last year at the National Prayer Breakfast, with President Obama in attendance, he gave his recommendations for how to fix out nation’s health-care system. Please take the few moments to view Dr. Carson's studied, stand-up and sage recommendations here: YouTube Video.

This truth-telling apparently embarrassed our fearless leader and, as a result, Dr. Carson was called by the White House demanding he apologize … which he rightfully didn’t do. Therefore, this administration’s jack-booted mob siced the IRS dogs on him, his family and his friends. Read the details here: Washington Examiner Story. This is not only indefensible behavior; it is the worst kind of government heavy-handed repression. I never would have believed that a federal institution could be so corrupted as to stoop to such scandalous criminal behavior as have been exhibited by the IRS over the last three years. Using the IRS for political retribution is all very frightening.

I shudder to think of what this crooked agency and the Obama administration are capable of if they feel push-back for the types of actions that we have seen. But, you know what? … if we all don’t push-back, things are guaranteed to get even worse!

I’ll let you kind readers all know when my tax audit notice arrives.
