The House has been debating an Obamacare security bill which would require the Obama regime to notify the people if and when a security breech occurred in the Obamacare website.
Considering the fact that there was virtually no security built into the healthcare website, and combined with the fact that felons can become Obamacare navigators, this seems like a reasonable idea and a necessary means to warn the people if their personal information has been compromised. However Barack Obama does not support the measure:
Even though the government is not required to notify Americans under current law if there are security breaches, the White House alleged that “the government already has plans to tell people if their information has been compromised.”
Darrell Issa is heading to New Hampshire next month
This is about the time when New Hampshire voters start to pay attention to which national politicians head to our state and speculation begins to grow about whether or not this means they will be seeking the presidency.
Most of the talk in the Granite State in recent weeks has swirled around the carpetbagging Scott Brown and the fact he has sold his house in Massachusetts and declared his New Hampshire vacation house as his new primary residence. This has led to speculation he is considering a run against Jeanne Shaheen in the Senate or possibly even a run at the governor’s office.
Current Hillary Clinton adviser created a traffic jam hoping to help Al Gore win the 2000 New Hampshire primary
I have to say that I am thoughtfully enjoying the sudden downfall of Chris Christie, better to get him out of the presidential race sooner rather than later, but let us face it; creating a traffic jam is much less a scandal than is, I don’t know, say Benghazi, Fast and Furious, the IRS scandal, the NSA scandal, or Climategate to name a few.
Yet the media seems to think creating traffic jams is more important than any of these scandals so let us play along. Michael Whouley is an adviser to Hillary Clinton’s as of yet still unofficial election team and in the year 2000 he came up with an ingenious plan to suppress the opposition to Al Gore in the New Hampshire primary.
Democrats choose illegal aliens over disabled veterans again! Kill another amendment to restore military pension cuts
As our House leaders should have known when they voted for the Paul Ryan/Patty Murray budget compromise there was a provision in the bill which cut the pensions of our veterans, including those wounded in the line of duty. But of course they did not know this because once again they did not read the bill before passing it. Paul Ryan and Patty Murray pulled as fast one.
So after realizing what was in the bill Jeff Sessions tried to offer an amendment to the bill while the Senate was debating its passage which would have restored the pension cuts to our veterans and replaced the cuts by eliminating a tax loophole used by illegal aliens. However, because the Democrats did not want to offend illegal aliens, whom they hope to someday grant the franchise, and because many of them only seem to care about our military when they can pose next to flag-draped coffins for a photo-op, the Democrats killed the amendment–effectively choosing illegal aliens over our military personal and disable veterans.
Surely they wouldn’t make the same mistake twice, would they?
A major blow has been dealt to the global warming alarmists with the whole nation engulfed in below average temperatures, however this has not deterred the Obama regime from claiming the cold is due to the hot.
“If you’ve been hearing that extreme cold spells, like the one that we’re having in the United States now, disprove global warming, don’t believe it,” warned President Barack Obama’s Science and Technology Advisor, Dr. John Holdren. “No single weather episode can either prove or disprove global climate change.”
“A growing body of evidence suggests that the kind of extreme cold being experienced by much of the United States as we speak is a pattern we can expect to see with increasing frequency as global warming continues,” said Holdren. “I believe the odds are that we can expect, as a result of global warming, to see more of this pattern of extreme cold.”
Have you heard of Operation Choke Point? It just might be the latest Obama regime scandal
According to this article Darrell Issa might be preparing to launch an investigation into the Obama regime’s ‘Operation Choke Point,’ claiming the regime might be using this policy to shakedown and intimidate banks.
Darrell Issa sent a letter to Eric Holder and here is part of what it said:
In the letter, Issa and Jordan stated, “[t]he [House Oversight and Government Reform] Committee is concerned that both the goal and mechanisms of Operation Choke Point may constitute a serious mismanagement and abuse of the Department’s FIRREA [Financial Institution Reform and Recovery Act of 1989] authority.”
“There is evidence,” they wrote, “that the true goal of Operation Choke Point is to target online lenders and the payment processors who serve them.” They stated further, “[t]he extraordinary breadth of the Department’s dragnet prompts concern that the true goal of Operation Choke Point is not to cut off actual fraudsters’ access to the financial system, but rather to eliminate legal financial services to which the Department objects.”
Issa and Jordan also told Attorney General Holder in the letter, “[i]t appears the Department has indiscriminately targeted an access point to the financial system that countless legitimate merchants rely upon simply because it is ‘faster’ than targeting the actual perpetrators of fraud.” The Department of Justice, they wrote, is “needlessly punishing good actors with the bad, and threatening legitimate merchants.”
The Injustice Department has not yet responded. Here is more from the article:
Breitbart News broke the story Wednesday morning that the Obama administration launched ‘Operation Choke Point’ out of the Department of Justice in 2013 for the express purpose of destroying three key sectors of the private lending industry: third party payment processors (“TPPPs”), online lenders, and payday lenders.
Stay tuned, this could get interesting.
Back in May Lois Lerner admitted that the IRS was inappropriately targeting conservative groups and apologized for the rogue agency’s actions. To date nobody has been held accountable although Lois Lerner retired with a full pension even though she refused to testify in front of the Congress and she seems to be deeply involved in the scandal.
But have no fear! Much like the Injustice Department investigated itself regarding Fast and Furious, the IRS is investigating itself to see if there was any wrongdoing in their admitted wrongdoing. It should be an open and shut case which goes something like this: oh, you admit you did this? You are fired, all of you, now get out! But of course that is not going to happen and as absurd as it is to expect any real answers when an agency is investigating itself the news gets even more absurd when you read this story.
Sheila Jackson Lee claims we should change the term ‘welfare’ to ‘transitional living fund’
Texas Democratic Representative Sheila Jackson Lee took to the floor of the House to applaud welfare and she suggested that it was time to change the term ‘welfare’ into something else which would carry a lesser negative connotation.
In a brief speech on the House floor Wednesday, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) hailed the war on poverty, endorsed government welfare programs, and said the “safety net has to be something for all of us.”
“Maybe the word welfare should be changed to something of, ‘a transitional living fund.’ For that is what it is — for people to be able to live,” she said.
Let me state here that I have no problem with the government providing temporary relief to families in need while they are transitioning during a tough period in their lives. (Most likely brought on by government policies in the first place.) But that is what is should be–temporary–and that is where she is missing the point.
She claims that welfare is a ‘transitional living fund’ and while that may have been the original intent that is no longer what it is. Permanent welfare has become an acceptable way of life for too many people and that is why it needs to be reformed.
As America’s Watchtower reported just a little while ago it appears as if aides and political appointees of Chris Christie blocked all but one lane of the George Washington Bridge in an effort to punish a political opponent.
A Barack Obama-like Chris Christie claimed he was unaware about what his aides were doing, but I do not believe him. Because the bridge was all but shut down with no notice emergency response teams were caught unawares and did not seek alternate routes. According to this article this led to a delay and the emergency response teams were not able to reach at least four people in the timely manner they were accustomed to, in some cases actually doubling the response time–one woman eventually died.
Emails suggest Chris Christie may have purposely created highway gridlock to punish a political opponent
It is no secret that Chris Christie is going to run for president in 2016 but he just may have run into a little problem. Newly released emails show that some of his aides conspired to shut down all but one lane on the George Washington Bridge in order to punish a political opponent.
Newly released emails and text messages show that Gov. Chris Christie’s office was closely involved with lane closings on the New Jersey side of the George Washington Bridge in September, and that officials closed the lanes as retribution against the Democratic mayor whose town was gridlocked as a result.
When Chris Christie was running for reelection last year he apparently sought the endorsement of Democratic mayors across the state so that he would have bipartisan support for his reelection. He intended to use this bipartisan support as a positive in his campaign for president by claiming this was proof that only he could bring the country together.
