Foxnews ^

Posted on 11/08/2014 8:44:08 AM PST by Red in Blue PA

President Obama chose Loretta Lynch, the U.S. attorney in Brooklyn, N.Y., as his nominee to replace outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder Friday.

Obama plans to announce Lynch’s nomination Saturday at a White House event. If confirmed, Lynch will become the first African-American woman in the job, succeeding Holder, who was the first African-American head of the Justice Department.

Obama wants the things he proposes to go quickly. But he dithers and delays on anything someone else wants. Its all a one-way street with this POS.

Republicans had better extract something of political value before they confirm anyone. Extract big concessions. Make them pay.

Sure. He wants someone who will promote his America-hating agenda.

It means that developments and zoning must meet Diversity Impact Statement requirements in addition to Environmental Impact Statement requirements.

It means that every piece of property about which there is proposed development, will fall under the "regulations" of the race hustlers and bankster-croniess and politicos who lust for more and more federal-aid-of-all-brands-and-suits' cash flow.

Mark Levin can explain it when he returns to his radio show next week.

Every municipality will have its allotment of blacks for which they will be expected to provide housing, education, municipal services, and sustenance. “Low income” guidelines didn’t cut it because there is a growing number of whites that qualify (especially retirees) - and that left blacks in neighborhoods without “makers” to provide for them.

In my area we now have a mass of Hispanics; in the fight for freebies that probably won’t cut it anymore (for the same reason as above).

There should be an end to “Lame duck” congresses. No need for them in this day and age of jet travel. Nothing short of “war” should be allowed to pass in an extreme emergency...fly every new congressman to Washington the following day after elections, conform and install them, and then open congress.

I am so sick of the shenanigans in D.C.

After all, he's the one who got the mandate this past Tuesday.

Exactly. Obama thinks his post-election "mandate" is bigger than the GOP's

To wit:

From the Washington Examiner

President Obama did something extraordinary, perhaps unprecedented, in his post-election news conference Wednesday: He claimed a mandate on behalf of voters who didn't vote.

"To everyone who voted, I want you to know that I hear you," the president said. "To the two-thirds of voters who chose not to participate in the process yesterday, I hear you, too."...

Obama's message to Republicans was unmistakable: My mandate is bigger than your mandate....

“Is she a real deal or another dirty politician like holder, exchanging political favors for pardons? “

You know the answer to that. Does anyone really think that Obama is going to put someone in that position who is not totally willing to tow the line and protect He and holder at any and all costs. I meant just imagine what an honest person could dig up in a corrupt justice department. Obama is looking from someone who is going to keep things on the exact same track. That tells you immediately who this women is. No need to know more.

It will be a tragedy.

Race, being ostensibly at the core, will turn out to be nothing, because the whole gambit is a crony financing scheme.

Get legislation-by-judiciary and legislation-by-executive-orders, to impose redirections of private funds and taxpayers’ money, toward a real estate game from which the most high relieve all that money ... of some of that money.

At the same time, all property-that-is-under-development (and how the government-by-judiciary and government-by-liberal-media both define that) ... becomes nationalized. *YOU* might own the property, but the property rights, are Terms of Service’d out of your hands. (You may as well forget about leaving anything in some ‘last will and testament,’ because Original Intent will not be recognized by the new probate judiciary.)

Basically, if you want to have a home and land and a farm or property for a business, you will pretty much have to have it BEFORE the police state takes hold and kills growth.

Bush, Romney, GOPe, rich liberals too many to mention and name ... will not object, as they and their TARP ZOO are all in on the gambit: spin up a cash flow and just reach in there and take some of it. And after that, do it again, under yet-another new media-babble spotlight.

To me it is just another disincentive for people to tie themselves to 30 years of payments for a home. If one of these welfare hives is plopped into a middle-class neighborhood (they never get put in high-income areas), then the neighboring homeowners watch their values disappear as their standards of living fall.

In a neighboring town there are new condos going up (detached single-family homes are a thing of the past, as Americans stop having children), and a certain percentage of the units have to Section 8 units. Who would buy any of these units if you have to deal with idle unassimilated minorities sacking your property while you’re out working your tail off?

Confirm her?????? Like most affirmative-action, racist political hacks, she should probably be arrested.

Yep.

If you are an owner, you lose.

If you are a developer with connections to the gambit, you “win” (more and more cash) from The Nationalized Real Estate Spigot.

You as a developer, simply have to be rich enough to make sure that your particular enclave where you want peace and quiet, is richly-and-liberally-connected with a certain amount of cash flow back to the bankster-politicos-and-enforcers.

So, there are rich liberal encampments, like ... Malibu, California, and other parts, where the barons ostensibly (in social circles and among the liberal media) are against baron-dom while joking about being *in* baron-dom and sharing their development(s) with the politically-correct who bash “the rich” while enjoying the spoils.

That kind of leads to the question, Why aren’t the rich liberals generating their own electricity for Hollywood ventures? Why isn’t there in the credits for a movie, or TV show, the electrical bill and how much of that juice was generated by Solar? by Pedaling? by Water? by Nuclear? ...

Nope. The whole gambit is that ... IT IS A GAMBIT ... to be followed by the next liberal wordity, some buzzwords echoed across the liberal [aca]media as the next and then the next ... agenda, issue, matter, movement, something ought to be done about it ...

From which, a Gore, a Paulson, a Romney, an Obama, some (yet another liberal from Berkeley or Harvard - all fat with cash and the next Billboard Website Icon to be splashed upon every webpage) ... will take money from the scheme that pays without producing, without personal responsibility, without contribution to liberty, without preserving our freedoms, without defending our Constitution.

But, it sure does destroy the public’s education in the principles of our once-free country, the same as the liberals destroyed Detroit.

A great description.

We need a third party along the lines of the TEA Party.

It is only “mud” if it is libelous or false. If someone breaks the law, or knows of lawbreaking and does not report it, calling them on it is not mud. Especially when they are applying to become the highest ranking law officer in the US.

The various gambits, be it money printing by the fed, the TARP, the nationalized real estate spigot ... are all acid rain by their effects.

There is no Keynesian Miracle, because there is no demand by real, actual entrepreneurs. Certainly the rich barons and rich liberals are not borrowing from Jamie Dimon.

The interest rate still hovers over “0”, demonstrating that GUBMINT and its regulations - however made up - are in the way of opportunity.

Yet the fed keeps pumping aka printing.

Instead of people gaining access as a result of their own growth, thanks to GUBMINT and the other roadblocks getting out of the way ... the GUBMINT conceives of a scheme to insert itself and push people into more compact housing developments.

Having failed at pushing people into homes, all the “liberals” see that they can make tons of money by pushing people into cubicles.

That will likely be followed by pushing multiples of people into the same cubicle, where everybody can watch infotainment articles about the glitterati who are well-ensconced in lavishly-protected and very roomy dacha’s.

What member of the GOPe could object? Notwithstanding all the liberal elite who already live in their established dacha’s?

Right along with all the rich greedy liberal landlords for “socialization,” will be the minority of “the rich:” the GOPe, all for Ms. Lynch as the new Real Estate Czar.

The Federal Reserve and The Justice Dept. sure have their work cut out for them -— as to who will be in charge of “fed funds rates.”

Because the Federal Reserve, whose members will reflexively push for the new Czarina ... tend strongly to look at the data and the literature in hindsight, where they will find that no amount of their manipulating amounts, will make right, what the Dept. of [In-]Justice [Police State Chicago Way] makes wrong.

The thing that the Federal Reserve affects most, is the price of assets (distinguished from the value of assets).

*That* conflicts with the pending Czarina’s work, establishing the Justice Dept. as dictator of the prices of of real estate.

No amount of re-setting of the Federal Reserve’s declared interest rate of “0” ... to some portion of (!) “0” ... will relieve the results of the fact that the AG, the Czarina, will determine the price for your house.

Yes, that question is rhetorical. You look at Holder and he is deep, deep, deep in the Machine. Look at Janet Reno, and she was loyal, incompetent, but not in the inner circle.
