Every day, for months and months, we have watched, horrified, as Assad in Syria murders his own people. Women, children, men…Innocents slaughtered in the streets, in their homes, day and night.
Many have been outright executed.
Now, over the past 2 days, we have heard that the Russians are sending helicopter gunships to Assad in Syria.
Helicopter gunships is a gross understatement. These are killing machines designed not to pinpoint targets but to literally wipe out everything and anything in front of them. These helicopters are built to fight tank battalions in the field. In an urban area, they can and will rain death and destruction from the sky.
Assad, of course, claims he won’t be using them for that purpose – but then again, he claims it’s not HIS government killing his people.
Through it all, through the death, the murders, the destruction…We wonder why? Why is Obama doing…nothing?
Let me try to explain what Obama doesn’t want you to know.
Listening to Holder feign amnesia in one congressional hearing after another is nauseating. He’s done it 8 times now and I have had quite enough.
The committees have subpoenaed some 80,000 documents, emails and memos from Eric Holder and he has turned over only 7,600 of them.
Holder himself yesterday admitted to having 140,000 such documents but upon questioning from Congressman Issa as to how many subpoenaed documents he has YET to turn over, Holder would only say that he has turned over 7,600.
Speaker Boehner, in not answering questions, in stonewalling, in lying, in claiming he does not recall dates, conversation or reading documents, in claiming he has no idea who knew what, when they knew it or who if anybody they told, Eric Holder is clearly showing contempt for the congressional committees.
We all watched and listened to the sound bites from yesterday’s hearing. We all heard time and time again…”I don’t know,” “I don’t recall,” I was not aware,” and on and on and on.
We heard the contentious back and forth with Congressman Issa and we listened while Holder refused to answer question. We heard it and I suspect, you did as well.
All of that was rehashed non answers of questions asked and not answered by Holder in 7 previous hearings but there was something new. Something startling. Something which did not get much notice yesterday, but I want to bring it to your attention today.
This was the give and take between Eric Holder and Congressman Jason Chaffetz.
In this, you will hear, point blank and no question about it, Eric Holder PERJURE himself before the congressional committee.
PERJURY, Mr. Speaker.
Watch and listen.
From an email dated Oct 17th, 2010, from Deputy Assistant Attorney General Jason Weinstein to James Trusty:
“Do you think we should have Lanny participate in press when Fast and Furious and Laura’s Tucson case [Wide Receiver] are unsealed? It’s a tricky case, given the number of guns that have walked, but it is a significant set of prosecutions.”
Then on Oct. 18th, 2010, from Trusty back to Weinstein:
“I think so, but the timing will be tricky, too. Looks like we’ll be able to unseal the Tucson case sooner than the Fast and Furious (although this may be just the difference between Nov. and Dec).”
“It’s not clear how much we’re involved in the main F and F [Fast and Furious] case,” reads the email, “but we have Tucson [Wide Receiver] and now a new unrelated case with [redacted] targets. It’s not any big surprise that a bunch of US guns are being used in MX [Mexico], so I’m not sure how much grief we get for ‘guns walking.’ It may be more like ‘Finally, they’re going after people who sent guns down there.’”
Mr. Speaker, with the words being read aloud to him by Congressman Chaffetz, Eric Holder stood his ground and told Congressman Chaffetz that those emails DID NOT REFER TO FAST AND FURIOUS.
Mr. Speaker…clearly…Eric Holder is lying and THAT, sir, is perjury.
For Eric Holder to insist, over and over again, that these emails do not refer to Fast and Furious when he is told over and over again by Congressman Chaffetz that they clearly do because they indeed mention Fast and Furious by name is both showing contempt for the Congressional Committee and committing perjury.
No more delays, Mr. Speaker. No more waiting. No more chances, Mr. Speaker.
I call on you to bring charges of contempt and perjury against Eric Holder NOW.
You, sir, have allowed Eric Holder more than a year to comply, and it is obvious to the world that he has no intention of doing so; and to allow this travesty to continue is, in and of itself, a travesty and any who would allow the continuation of it are themselves guilty of aiding and abetting the contempt, the perjury and the travesty.
Not for one more day Mr. Speaker, should the Attorney General, the head of the Department of Justice, be allowed to obstruct justice!
WALKER WINS WISCONSIN IN WHAT EARLY REPORTS SHOW AS A LANDSLIDE!!!!!
Even amid allegations of voter fraud by liberals, Governor Scott Walker has WON reelection in Wisconsin
Some of the allegations included 4 bus loads of unionists from MICHIGAN heading into Wisconsin to cast votes for Walker’s challenger, Barrett.
Also up for reelection in Wisconsin today were Senators, Scott Fitzgerald, Van Wanggaard, Terry Moulton and Pam Galloway along with Lt. Governor, Rebecca Kleefisch.
As we said earlier this week, the Wisconsin vote would be a foreshadowing of the national vote in November and it is easy to predict such fraud allegations some 5 months from now.
Liberals, socialists and unions are, for the 2nd time in 2 years, on the losing end of a Wisconsin election and this will have ramifications in the presidential, congressional and local elections this November.
This is also a warning over the Obama bow.
As the November elections approach, expect a flurry of illegal voter registrations, union thuggery, increased activities by the New BlacKKK Panthers and more. NOTHING will be deemed off limits by those fearing the loss of their grip on power and the nullification of their socialist agenda.
Tomorrow is reelection day in Wisconsin. REELECTION DAY.
Forget the RECALL, it’s not going to happen.
When Scott Walker was running in 2010, he knew his state was on the edge of the abyss. He knew the financial disaster looming would be bad and he ran on a platform of making substantial decisions aimed at pulling Wisconsin away from the brink.
Walker said that collective bargaining of public sector unions had to go. Wisconsin could no longer afford them. Walker said that union Members would have to start paying for a portion of their own pension programs for the same reason…Wisconsin could no longer afford to foot the full bill.
Walker won that election over his liberal rival, Tom Barrett.
Once he became the Governor OF Wisconsin, Walker set about putting into place exactly what he said he would when he was a candidate.
His actions, and those of his conservative majority in the state legislature set ablaze the liberal/socialist machine.
A couple of days ago, in what can only be seen as a non partisan, clearly not racial, and certainly a prime example of the separation of church and state they liberals so heavily preach in favor of sort of event, Eric Holder spoke to a group of black religious leaders and the Congressional Black Caucus about…
How they could use their pulpits to help reelect Barack Hussein Obama.
So…there he was, the Attorney General of the United States, who is under investigation and possibly facing contempt of congress charges, speaking to black preachers and black caucus members.
Well, another May is half over and another year gone by without any asylum of higher learning asking me to provide sage wisdom to graduating seniors.
I don’t know why.
Dressed in caps and gowns, young people are heading out into the world and they need advice. Not the sort of advice they’re likely to get but real advice. They need the sort of advice that will help them face reality and cope with it.
On the off chance that even one “Future of Our Nation” graduate will see this, allow me to offer such advice.
Young people…YOU are the future of this great nation and I shudder at the very thought of it.
You may well not like my advice and many of you probably won’t follow it, but, someday, you will realize you should have.
Congressman Issa and the House Committee investigating Eric Holder and the Fast and Furious scandal has given Holder until Memorial Day weekend to cough up the rest of the 80,000 documents, emails and memos regarding their investigation.
Waiting in the wings is a contempt of Congress charge against Holder.
Last week, Utah Congressman, Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the Oversight in Government Subcommittee on National Security, Homeland Defense and Foreign Operations introduced an amendment to the Justice Department’s appropriations bill to cut dollars from the DOJ budget and another measure which would cut $1 million dollars from the DOJ over its stonewalling and stall tactics regarding Fast and Furious.
Said Chaffitz, “You shouldn’t be using federal taxpayer dollars to lie to Congress.”
The vote on the measures passed, 381-41 and all of the 41 are Democrats.
This, of course means, there are 41 liberals in the House who believe that the DOJ and Eric Holder have every right TO use taxpayer money to lie to Congress.
That is shameful at every level and at every turn.
Today is Mother’s Day and I’m going to set politics aside…Just for today.
There was never a day in my life that I can remember, and I can remember things that happened when I was 2 years old, that I didn’t know I was adopted. I grew up knowing it and, trust me, adoption ran rampant through my family.
I was adopted. My brother was adopted. My sister was adopted, cousins and more…Adopted. My mother, the one who adopted me was adopted herself.
Now then, my sister is my real sister and she was adopted my mother’s sister. Aunt Clara May and Uncle Horace had 2 boys of their own and wanted a girl. My mother and father had already adopted 1 boy and wanted another.
So, there wasn’t a day that I didn’t know I was adopted and not a single day that I didn’t know that my sister, whose parents were my aunt and uncle, was my real sister.
This arrangement, of course, made my sisters 2 brothers my cousins and it also made my brother and sister cousins to each other and it wasn’t until I was 6 or 7 years old that I realized…Not everybody’s family was set up in this manner. To us…It seemed normal.
Here I’ve been, trying like crazy to hum a happy tune while all week, all around me, things are going to hell in a liberal/socialist hand basket.
You know me…I TRY not to let it all get to me but…
HOLY CRAP…COME FRIDAY…
I’m fuming.
This week, we start by taking a little walk in the park…any park…
On May 1st…OCCUPI…which I’m sure is the plural of Occupus…WAS GOING TO SHUT DOWN AMERICA!!!
Never have so many feared so much since the Myans ran out of binders for their calendars.
The OCCUPI were going to shut down bridges, streets, commerce and banks. They were going to make it impossible to get to work, school, playgrounds, and hospitals. They were going to cause such mass havoc that the United States as we know it would be brought to its knees.
Ummmmm…Did they forget to hit “SEND” on their email? WHERE THE HECK WAS EVERYBODY??? In major cities across this great land…Chicago…New York…Dallas…Atlanta…L.A. they were barely able to shut down a crosswalk.
WE WERE TOLD THIS WOULD BE EARTH SHAKING…IT WAS GOING TO BE HUGE…WOMEN WOULD RUN SCREAMING INTO THE NIGHT AND CHILDREN WOULD HAVE TO COVER THERE EYES…AND WHAT HAPPENS???
men…Innocents slaughtered in the streets, in their homes, day and night.
WALKER WINS WISCONSIN IN WHAT EARLY REPORTS SHOW AS A LANDSLIDE!!!!!
Tomorrow is reelection day in Wisconsin. REELECTION DAY.
They do walk among us. Really, they do.
Well, another May is half over and another year gone by without any asylum of higher learning asking me to provide sage wisdom to graduating seniors.
Memorial Day weekend to cough up the rest of the 80,000 documents, emails and memos regarding their investigation.
Today is Mother’s Day and I’m going to set politics aside…Just for today.
Oh…Hello…Is it the end of the week already?
