NETU protestRed State -by LaborUnionReport (Diary)

Where do the anti-sequester, federal government workers-turned-protesters work? They work at the Internal Revenue Service–and they are unionized.

As the scandal involving the IRS’ targeting of Conservatives and Tea Party groups consumes the news cycle for the moment and Barack Obama (who, so far, has claimed ignorance of the targeting) has thrown a sacrificial lamb out to appease journalists, that IRS agents targeted certain small-government, anti-tax groups should really not come as a surprise.   Continue reading “Meet the Partisan Union Behind The Partisan Internal Revenue Service”

Hot Air – by ED MORRISSEY

We heard from one half of the Watergate-exposing journalistic duo this week on the AP scandal, and now the other half weighs in on the supposedly waning Benghazi debate.  The White House released 100 pages of e-mails that went around the administration on 9/14 — but oddly not on 9/12 or 9/13 — less than an hour before Barack Obama gave a speech on the IRS scandal and pushed the e-mails back into the background.  Bob Woodward tells Morning Joe that they won’t stay in the background, because it shows an exercise by the White House to keep people from learning the truth about the terrorist attack … and that looks mighty familiar to him:   Continue reading “Woodward: Don’t dismiss Benghazi as a scandal”

The Hill – by Bernie Becker and Peter Schroeder

Senior Obama administration officials where notified almost a year ago that an inspector general was looking into the IRS’s treatment of conservative groups, a watchdog said on Friday.

Russell George, Treasury’s inspector general (IG) for tax administration, testified that he told the department’s general counsel and Deputy Treasury Secretary Neal Wolin about the probe in June of 2012 — months after media reports started detailing Tea Party complaints about the IRS.   Continue reading “Watchdog: Senior Obama officials were told of IRS probe last year”

The U.S. is preparing “to militarily penetrate the African continent” by building up its military resources within the Mediterranean Sea, says Rick Rozoff, manager of the Stop the NATO organization.

On Wednesday, Italian Foreign Minister Emma Bonino announced that the U.S. was transferring 200 marines and two planes to its base at Sigonella in Sicily to deploy in Libya if U.S. diplomats come under attack as they did on Sep. 11, 2012.   Continue reading “US plans to militarily penetrate Africa”

A TrackingPoint rifle features a high-tech scope that includes a laser rangefinder and a Wi-Fi server.NPR – by Mark Dewey

A new rifle goes on sale on Wednesday, and it’s not like any other. It uses lasers and computers to make shooters very accurate. A startup gun company in Texas developed the rifle, which is so effective that some in the shooting community say it should not be sold to the public.

It’s called the TrackingPoint rifle. On a firing range just outside Austin in the city of Liberty Hill, a novice shooter holds one and takes aim at a target 500 yards away. Normally it takes years of practice to hit something at that distance. But this shooter nails it on the first try.   Continue reading “A New ‘Smart Rifle’ Decides When To Shoot And Rarely Misses”

PelosiThe Lonely Conservative

Jay Carney and Nancy Pelosi are trying to outdo each other in passing off the scandals the Obama administration is under fire for as just controversies concocted by Republicans. Pelosi said it’s because Obama is just such “visionary” and a “great president,” who the Republicans fear so they exploit these little issues that come up. Yeah, that’s it.    Continue reading “Pelosi: GOP Making Up Scandals Because Obama Is A Visionary”

Resist 1776 – by Greg Carithers

This is a tough question but one that needs to be addressed. All you have to do is search this topic and just read the one liner’s that pop up. Things like “the world is doomed” and “total chaos” will come up almost immediately. The sad thing is that for most citizens this is very true. Everyone is so ingrained with reaching in their pockets, pulling out a phone or device of some kind and instantly connecting with another person or group across town, state, country and even the world.   Continue reading “Communication – What are we going to do without it?”

SHTF Plan – by Mac Slavo

Were you to look at official government statistics that calculate our rate of price inflation for food, energy, clothing, and other consumer goods, you’d think that prices were as stable today as they were under the gold standard.

According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, the CPI (Consumer Price Index) inflation rate remains well below the Federal Reserve’s 2.5% threshold. Insofar as the government is concerned America’s core inflation rate is just 1.7%, a testament to the economic prowess of our central bank and Chairman Ben Bernanke.   Continue reading “We Have Blown The Largest Bubble In The History Of Mankind”
