“Lois Lerner pleads the Fifth”

Of course she does. NetRightDaily: Lois Lerner, director of exempt organizations at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is pleading her Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate herself in the ongoing Congressional investigation over targeting by the agency of the tea party. Lerner was set to give testimony before the House Oversight Committee on May 22, but a May 20 letter from her lawyer, William Taylor, changed all of that. “She

Rep Mike Kelly is PI(R)SSED!

It’s a few days old, is Rep Kelly’s (R-PA) thumping of the IRS, but it’s new to me.  And I quite enjoyed it. What’s chilling here, as a kind of subtext, is Miller’s look and demeanor as he’s being berated. The cast of his eyes.  He’s got lifeless eyes.  Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. It’s time to rid ourselves of the IRS.  In fact, it’s been time for a

“Accused Fort Hood Shooter Paid $278,000 While Awaiting Trial”

NBC: The Department of Defense confirms to NBC 5 Investigates that accused Fort Hood shooter Major Nidal Hasan has now been paid more than $278,000 since the Nov. 5, 2009 shooting that left 13 dead 32 injured. The Army said under the Military Code of Justice, Hasan’s salary cannot be suspended unless he is proven guilty. If Hasan had been a civilian defense department employee, NBC 5 Investigates has learned,

“Drudge Editor on Obama Scandals: White House Is Sitting on Something That Has Top Aides Terrified”

Who can even fathom what has aides to this bunch terrified, so blase are they about human life, about the suffering they cause, about the molestation they routinely engage in by way of governmental bureaucracies and agencies and regulations and taxes and fees, about the racial and ethnic and economic division they stoke as casually as they breathe. If I had to guess?  It’s the potential whistleblower testimony that will

leftist shitboxes who once upon a time politicized a hurricane rush to politicize a tornado

So. Here’s my response to Rhode Island Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, who took the occasion of the OK tornadoes to launch a political broadside against the GOP and those who don’t buy into the politically-concocted notion that human exhalation — that is, plant food — nor water vapor are pollutants that cause the earth to warm: You are fucking loathsome.  In fact, you’re worse than loathsome. Much lower.   You

mental and emotional sorbet

I’m of course deeply saddened by the destruction in Oklahoma, but I find myself growing very angry at the same time, for reasons that will become clear shortly. In the meantime, I figured maybe now is a good time to lighten the mood.  And to that end, I present you with this, some of the coolest parents and parenting tips ever.

Pray for Oklahoma [Darleen Click]

Twenty minutes ago, message from a high school buddy of mine who is a teacher in the Oklahoma City Public School system: I don’t think it’s really hit me yet what happened this afternoon in Oklahoma…. This all started less than an hour before school was to be dismissed, and our administration acted quickly to make sure that everything went as smoothly as possible. I work with some very dedicated

10PM Phone Call: genesis of a cover story?

Andrew McCarthy: […] were investigating Benghazi, I’d be homing in on that 10 p.m. phone call. That’s the one between President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — the one that’s gotten close to zero attention. Benghazi is not a scandal because of Ambassador Susan Rice, State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland, and “talking points.” The scandal is about Rice and Nuland’s principals, and about what the talking points were

“Congressman: IRS asked pro-life group about ‘the content of their prayers'”

Washington Examiner: During a House Ways and Means Committee hearing today, Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., grilled outgoing IRS commissioner Steven Miller about the IRS targeting a pro-life group in Iowa. “Their question, specifically asked from the IRS to the Coalition for Life of Iowa: ‘Please detail the content of the members of your organization’s prayers,’” Schock declared. “Would that be an inappropriate question to a 501 c3 applicant?” asked Schock.

“The IRS’s Job Is To Violate Our Liberties”

Ron Paul: “What do you expect when you target the President?” This is what an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agent allegedly said to the head of a conservative organization that was being audited after calling for the impeachment of then-President Clinton. Recent revelations that IRS agents gave “special scrutiny” to organizations opposed to the current administration’s policies suggest that many in the IRS still believe harassing the President’s opponents is
