Good Morning All. Thanks AB for the yeoman’s work each and every Sunday you do for all of us here on FR.
The story of the day should be the blatant lawbreaking and coverup by the federal government’s most powerful agency, the IRS. Do we really think Feinstein will be grilled on this issue?
It is plain that the Democrat media is not interested at all in finding out what Obama knew and when did he know it.

Here's a clip:
Issa acknowledged that the recipients of the emails would have copies that could be found, but added, “The problem is, except for the NSA under this administration, who has all those emails?”
To try to subpoena all the various people who might possibly have received emails related to the scandal would be a “fishing expedition,” Issa said. His Democratic predecessor Henry Waxman engaged in such tactics because “he just generally had an idea,” Issa said, but added, “We would like to be pragmatic and positive and reasonable.”

Gotta wonder when zero knew about this:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3170312/posts
Here’s a clip from above:
“Seems the obama adm. was soliciting bids to handling illegal children months before all this border fiasco began! Was it all well orchestrated?
The Obama administration’s claim to have been surprised by the wave of children flooding over out borders may turn out to be another political lie of the year. Sundance of Conservative Treehouse noticed a very peculiar advertisement:
On January 29th of this year, the federal government posted an advertisement seeking bids for a vendor contract to handle “Unaccompanied Alien Children“.
Not just any contract mind you, but a very specific contract – for a very specific number of unaccompanied minors: 65,000.
• Why would DHS and ICE be claiming “surprise” by the current influx of unaccompanied minors on the border in June, when they were taking bids for an exact contract to handle the exact situation in January?
• Secondly, how could they possibly anticipate 65,000 unaccompanied minors would be showing up at the border, when the most ever encountered in a previous year was 5,000 total.”
Issa is in on it.
OR he is far more stupid than he appears.
All of the establishment is in on it. There are no other motives for their ambivalence.
Issa will not bring himself to ask the really tough questions and let logic pave the way for the obvious follow-ups. Why, one might ask? It is very simple, they just cannot wait to get their hands on the wheel for their little spin around the block.
It would be nice if Netenyahu talked over the MSM and 0commie dire fly to us...the oppressed citizenry.
I’m waiting for someone to ask who these border kids “escorts” are. Anyone who has ever applied to a govt or contract position know the hoops you have to jump through. I know the vendor notice was posted in January; therefore pre-planned- but still- WHO ARE THEY? Clearances/background checks/credentials? ACORN anyone?
Morning AB, All
Thank you AB, as always, for doing this thread. Thank you yon ladies and gems for putting up with me. Cause later in the thread I got a story and it really happened.
It involved my daughter saving her neighbor’s life (also MY neighbor as daughter lives across street from me) and hey, I thought I had all the men but this girl has them all, on the road, at the gas station, visitors to various neighbors. She recently took off her wedding ring and the men have noticed.
Which is interesting because I never thought that she might get married again. Not that marriage is near but she’s NOT going back with that awful husband.
Between her and I we got the male population of Sussex county pretty tied up.
Heh.
I want to say I am so angry at the IRS, at this poor soldier stuck in Mexico in what is obviously a mistake, the situation in Iraq and on and on and on.
But no, I am not really mad at these folks. Obama is only doing what he was elected to do, which is to put a price on everything and launder that money through to the peeps, voters and friends.
I am furious at the Republicans and I know, I know...what’s new.
What, John McCain knew nothing about the VA abuses in his own state? He who is the ersatz champion of POW rights and McCain can’t help the soldier in Mexico? Obama’s waiting for an offer of the right amount of money because it’s never about idealogy with him and his, it’s always about how much money we can bring in and how to best re-distribute to the supporting peeps.
I know it’s the same old complaint and yeah, the pubs excoriated the IRS pretty good but they need to do like the Dems, send people out everywhere, remind of the power the IRS has and the joke of them having lost the emails.
I spent a large part of my life dealing with the IRS. I did payroll most of my life and was charged with sending in the money withheld from paychecks. Even back then the IRS was an arrogant bunch of people.
One time I got a notice after filing my quarterly return….a form you calculate all money withheld and all money sent to the IRS and they better agree of Lucy got some ‘splaining to do.
This was for a large Baltimore hospital and know that the FICA and fed tax withholdings was in the 50-75K every two weeks payroll. The thing they sent me said I was short over TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS!
You have to send in this money within three days of payroll so on the quarterly return you list paydates and money sent in. The twit at the IRS said I didn’t send in one week’s worth of withholdings.
Of course I tore the payroll department, found cancelled checks, didn’t sleep nights, told the management and, natch, called the IRS.
You can’t imagine how this upset me. It would upset anyone for God’s sake. The IRS accusing me of shorting them by over $20,000 and my employer was not happy.
Finally, with payroll docs verifying the amount to be sent, and with cancelled check to prove I sent the correct amount, I talk to the three year old at the IRS who sent me this notice.
I remain on the phone as she examines my faxed documents and cancelled check proof.
“Well okay, I guess we made a mistake,” the toddler said.
I screamed.
I screamed into the phone and I screamed some more. All the payroll department came and wrested the phone from my hand.
“So that’s it?” I shout. “You, la-di-da just accuse me of not sending you almost half year of my pay and…’oops, my bad?’...that’s it?”
“Don’t get so upset,” the IRS child told me.
They have no idea. NO IDEA. They don’t bother to re-check themselves because they are God, right here on earth, the mighty IRS and I owe them money for THEIR mistake.
It took forever to get the fines and penalties they assessed us; in fact I had to get the little lesbian Barbara Mikulski to get involved.
The pubs got a great arguiing point with that kid in Mexico and the IRS and lookit, if the Dems had these scandals, we’d all know about it, every day, every minute, every second. The pubs would all be impeached.
Same old, same old.
“Directly to us”
To try to subpoena all the various people who might possibly have received emails related to the scandal would be a “fishing expedition,” Issa said. His Democratic predecessor Henry Waxman engaged in such tactics because “he just generally had an idea,” Issa said, but added, “We would like to be pragmatic and positive and reasonable.”
....................
Something is dramatically wrong that many of our Tea party pats and most congresspeople seem corrupt after a few years in dc. We need a new bunch of reps that can't be corrupted to in charge up there if this country is to survive.
Maybe we could start with Ben Carson and Sarah Palin.
Thanks for thread A.B. All FReepers should order and read Bray’s great book Republic of Texas 2022. On sale now at Amazon (at least). http://www.amazon.com/Republic-Texas-2022-Stand-Freedom/dp/1631221221/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1403440641&sr=1-1&keywords=republic+of+texas+2022
The first question my wife shouted at the TV when the story first broke. :)
Those children at the border....heh, MORE money to re-distribute.
Maybe some crony capitalists needed more migrant workers to till the fields so for the right price, no problem....we’ll figure out a way to get you all the help you need.
Here at the shore there’s hurt cause we used to have a bunch of kids come in from the Ukraine but not this year.
But again, this administration is selling the country is all, to the highest bidder.
And the pubs sit and watch.
We have NO opposition party.
They are part of the political ruling class and THAT’s the problem.
Good morning, everybody. Thanks for taking the time and effort to post this every Sunday, AB.

Expect the IRS corruption to continue and the “investigation” to go nowhere.
