Michelle’s $12,000 Dress Cost More Than Median Yearly Household Income Worldwide of $9,733

 

CNS News   "The blue and black designer dress that first lady Michelle Obama wore to Tuesday’s state dinner for the French president reportedly cost between $10,000 and $12,000, according to news media, which is more than the median annual household income worldwide of $9,733, and greater than the median income for households in at least 87 countries, according to data from Gallup."

IRS Targeted Established Conservative Groups for Audits, Too

Wall Street Journal    “ 'We now know that the IRS targeted not only right-leaning applicants, but also right-leaning groups that were already operating as 501(c)(4)s,” Mr. Camp said in a statement. “At Washington, DC’s direction, dozens of groups operating as 501(c)(4)s were flagged for IRS surveillance, including monitoring of the groups’ activities, websites and any other publicly available information. Of these groups, 83% were right-leaning. And of the groups the IRS selected for audit, 100% were right-leaning.' ”

Vulnerable Democrats Want the IRS to Do More of Something that ‘Outraged’ Obama Last Year  "We can officially mark the Democrats’ feigned outrage at the IRS targeting conservative groups from 2010 through 2013 as dead. They weren’t really outraged about it then when the IRS engineered its disclosure, and they want even more of it now. Even the systematic persecution of Catherine Engelbrecht by multiple executive branch agencies doesn’t bother them. Democrat Rep. Elijah Cummings piled on even more persecution."
"What the Democrats really want is to silence everyone who disagrees with them. They want a weaponized IRS to make that happen."

Not a ‘Smidgen’ of Corruption… Vulnerable Dems Push IRS to Crack Down on Conservative Groups   "Senate Democrats facing tough elections this year want the Internal Revenue Service to play a more aggressive role in regulating outside groups expected to spend millions of dollars on their races."

 

The Insiders: Obamacare creates new ways to prosecute American business; The President has invented A NEW CRIME!

President Obama is inventing new crimes!

WaPo  "And the fine print of the latest announcement from the Administration is worse than the terrible headlines. This rule includes a provision that says you have to have the right motives for having a certain number of employees to be in compliance with Obamacare. Bear with me, that’s right: You must certify to the IRS – under the threat of perjury – that the reasons for your employee head count have nothing to do with your opposition to or avoidance of Obamacare. This president doesn’t just selectively enforce the law as he sees fit; now he is actually inventing new crimes.  It’s jaw-dropping that if you fall below 100 employees, the burden will be on you to prove that you meant no disrespect to Obamacare.  I can’t wait to see the video of the first Democrat who tries to defend this new threat of prosecution within Obamacare.  In fact, look for the White House to fix this and somehow drop this provision altogether.  It’s completely indefensible."

Hillary Clinton Kept Records Of Her Time As First Lady To Get “Revenge”…

Weasel Zippers  "Woman is evil."

 

Fayetteville, Arkansas (CNN) – Shortly before Hillary Clinton’s effort to pass health care reform died in the summer of 1994, the first lady asked a close friend and confidant for advice on “how best to preserve her general memories of the administration and of health care in particular.”

When asked why, according to the friend’s June 20, 1994, diary entry, Clinton said, “Revenge.”

That exchange is among thousands of pages of notes, letters, and diary entries penned by Diane Blair, a political science professor and longtime Clinton friend whose papers were donated to the University of Arkansas after her death in 2000.

 

Diary of Hillary Clinton's confidante reveals the jeers over Bill's affair that Chelsea had to endure at Stanford   ... "Also drawing focus were the conclusions of a secret poll conducted by pollsters Celinda Lake and Stan Greenberg in 1992 that painted Hillary in a horible political light.

" 'While voters genuinely admire Hillary Clinton’s intelligence and tenacity, they are uncomfortable with these traits in a woman,' the public opinion gurus determined.

" 'What voters find slick in Bill Clinton, they find ruthless in Hillary.'

Democrat's War on Work

Roger L Simon: The Democrats’ ‘War on Work’   "The Republicans are supposed to have a “War on Women” that’s about as real as the Loch Ness monster, but the Democrats are developing a war that is considerably more authentic and quite a bit more sinister — a “War on Work.' ” 

 

 

 

 

 

Stalinist Lawlessness: Companies Must Swear to IRS They Didn't Fire Employees Because of Obamacare

Freedom of Speech Clause of the Constitution: 

The Freedom of Speech Clause of the First Amendment is one of the most valuable and precious rights guaranteed to Americans in the United States Constitution. At the same time, it is one of the most abused rights by Americans. The Freedom of Speech Clause of the 1st Amendment reads like this:

"Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech."...

 Full article here.

What on earth does it take before honest democrats become disgusted with this administration?

Rush Limbaugh  " ...  they don't want businesses saying that they're laying people off or firing people because of Obamacare.  That's really what the rub is, and it boils down to they can do what they want but they better not say that they're firing people because of Obamacare.  Now, it's been running around, going around here, that this is a banana republic.  This is way beyond a banana republic now.  This is Stalinism." 

Companies Must Now Swear — to the IRS — That None of Their Layoffs Are Because of Obamacare  "Company officials will be trapped in a catch-22. They can lay off as many people as they want because of Obamacare. But because they’ll have to swear to the IRS that their decisions had nothing to do with Obamacare, they can’t speak publicly about what’s happening. What a great way to silence the people who are on the front lines of dealing with Obamacare’s horrific effects."

 

A clear violation of Freedom of Speech that any honest court should shut down.

Like Hugo Chavez, Obama criminalizes private business decisions

The IRS is the Democrat's Gestapo.

Businesses must swear to the IRS that Obamacare had nothing to do with firings   "The most coercive law in American history just got more coercive.

"In delaying the employer mandate - again - the White House made it clear that businesses thinking of downsizing their company to avoid Obamacare mandates better think again.' "  More.

....

" 'Under penalty of perjury..." Apparently, lying to a grand jury about sex is OK but lying to the IRS about Obamacare will land you in jail."

Companies Must Now Swear — to the IRS — That None of Their Layoffs Are Because of Obamacare   "Company officials will be trapped in a catch-22.

This First Lady's dress is big in the news today

Which would be the relevant point here: that Mrs. Obama lives like the 1% that Democrats revile or that the press gushes over most of what the Obamas do?

 

 

'BOW DOWN:' NBC's White House Producer Goes Gaga Over Michelle Obama's Dress

"Fifty years to the day after The Beatles' first concert in the United States, NBC's Shawna Thomas could have been mistaken for one of the screaming fan girls at the Washington Coliseum. But instead of idolizing the rock and roll band, the network's White House producer shouted for joy over Michelle Obama's gown, which the First Lady wore to Tuesday's state dinner for French President Francois Hollande."

"Chris Matthews might finally have some competition in the Obamas-give-me-the-thrills club for the media."

$400 bottles of wine? 

"That dress is gorgeous!"


Enuff said on this.

The FCC Will Begin Investigating Bias In the Media (and By That, They Mean Conservative Bias)

Ace of Spades  "The transformation of America continues apace."

... "Any corporation -- and any person, actually -- will usually opt for the path of least resistance. It's easier and safer to do the thing that government and society approve of-- you know you face no heat for saying the politically-correct, government-approved thing.

"The FCC's rule seeks to make a progressive tilt in news bias not only "safe" as a matter of social mores and general industry bias towards the left, but also safe as regards the law." ...

Hat tip to Patrick Humphries, who wrote perceptively, "If you like your opinion. You can keep your opinion. (To yourself)."

The media would like to remind you that yesterday’s Hillary scoop was published by a conservative “anti-Clinton website”

Henceforth, All NBC News Outlets Shall Be Called Anti-Republican Websites

Rachel Maddow, a commentator on an anti-Republican website said…

Brian Williams, news reporter for an anti-Republican website noted…

Andrea Mitchell, who works for an anti-Republican website reported…"

... "Solution: Cover it, but emphasize that it comes from a publication on the other side that’s allegedly out to get Her Majesty. Not only that, but don’t even name the Free Beacon when mentioning the source. Viewers will draw their own conclusions from that about how seriously they should take it. Michael Goldfarb, a founder of the Free Beacon, was waiting for it:" ...

Free at Last! Thanks to Obama and Democrats, Life Will Be Good.

Healthcare Slavery  "This week and last we learned from Democrats that Obamacare is society's latest liberating influence.  Americans can stop and smell the roses now that they are unshackled from the adult responsibility of providing for their own basic necessities.  The need to perform honest yet unpleasant or even difficult work is a thing of the past.  Free at last!

"However, those of us who work for a living are feeling a lot less liberated now that we must subsidize the sabbaticals of those who vote for a living."

"But it turns out that the Democrats' claim that millions can't escape the jobs they have solely because of health insurance is debatable. And to the extent that job lock is a problem, it's far from clear that ObamaCare will solve it."

Video: Less Work Under ObamaCare is Good  "My favorite part of the video below is watching the media folks trying to process the latest doublespeak coming from the White House. So you’re saying… this is a good thing…

 

"Just once I’d like to see someone stand up in the press room and say are you high?

 

"Millions and millions of people have left the workforce under Obama. We have a full blown unemployment crisis happening in this country and yet the White House still gets away with spin that wouldn’t fool a four year old."
