President Obama backed
down from his SOTU plan to tax 529
college investment funds; but he and his administration is still
working on a back-door
approach to tax
the Internet. In effect, the government already taxes the
Internet through the communication companies, just like the
government does with the telephone. But that is not good enough for
the tax-and-spend politicians who refuse to budget as evident with
the skyrocket national debt. Apparently either no one noticed or did
not bother to look or did not care when they re-elected Obama in
2014. Oddly, Republicans have lost re-election on far less than what
Obama and company have been doing. The myriad of scandals and the
horror of the Benghazi attack outcome should have sent Obama out to
pasture – but they didn't. It appears the majority of voters were
more afraid of Mitt Romney as president. Not that I wanted him
as a running nominee in the primary elections, not because of his
character, but his political track record. His state health care
program mirrored the Obamacare program now in place, which the US
Supreme Court should have stopped from the beginning, but still would
have been an improvement over the administration at present. Now the
Republican legislators are faced with attempts to put Obamacare in
the garbage bin where it belongs. Even if they pass such legislation
in Congress, they will have to get enough support to override the
assured veto via President Obama.
US Attorney for the Eastern District of
New York, Loretta
Lynch, has been nominated by President Obama to
replace the notorious Eric
Holder, (elected at one of
the 10
most corrupt politicians in 2012) who committed perjury and other
acts of corruption (16
total) and ineptness without any justice for a long
list of unethical and corrupt acts. It is expected that the
Senate Judiciary Committee will be grilling Lynch with tough
questions. In a recent incident, Holder and others have won
against whistleblowers as a federal jury has just sentenced
one to prison. Effectively, Holder has cleaned
his tracks before he leaves office officially. Maybe one question
will be why Lynch quietly
dropped a $450,000 civil forfeiture case one week before
nomination hearings. The case was part of the Holder legacy where
people suffer their financial accounts frozen, homes, cars, etc.,
held in bondage before there is even declaration of a crime
committed.
According
to Raw
Story:
Since 2008, police agencies have seized cash and property worth $3 billion, making more than 55,000 seizures, according to the Washington Post. Lynch’s office hauled in $113 million in civil forfeiture actions from 123 cases between 2011 and 2013, and a Wall Street Journal editorial described her office as “a major forfeiture operation.”
Is
this the person Congress should want to replace Holder?
I
think not, but still hope.
Yet,
with that in mind, it is expected
that she will be confirmed as the next US Attorney General to
pick up the reins of the Obama regime's judiciary department.
At her hearing, Lynch stated she will:
At her hearing, Lynch stated she will:
use every available tool to bring terrorists to justice.
Lynch also stated that illegal immigrants have a right to work in the United States.
The committee will be the first series of tests of the Republican majority and chairman, Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa. Voters will be watching to see if they made the right choice in the mid-term elections of 2014.
Meanwhile, Obama reiterated his plan to shutdown Gitmo and either release the terrorists or transfer some to high security prisons in the United States. The major theme is to save government cost of keeping them incarcerated. Coinciding with the Obama push to make friends with the Cuban Castro regime, one wonders if the long-term plan is to pull out of Guantanamo Bay altogether. It may be part of the shutdown program of military installations in Europe and the United States.
