King Obama (Once Again) Treats His Marine Corps Detail Like His Personal Servants

This is one of the most disgraceful and disrespectful things I have ever seen a Commander in Chief do to denigrate one of our uniformed service members:

Obama makes Marine hold umbrella for him

WTF?

The men in our armed services don’t need no stink’n umbrellas. See this Soldier?

Justin Zimla, Tomb Gaurd

A lone Tomb Sentinel, 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), walks his tour in humble reverence during Hurricane Irene in Arlington National Cemetery, Va., Aug 27.

And these Soldiers?

The Old Guard during Hurricane Sandi

These are real men. This is real commitment. This is real love of country and of the brothers with whom you serve and for those who served before you.

Notice what these Soldiers— standing the most sacred and the most honored of posts during a hurricane — do not have? That’s right, no umbrellas. And why not? It’s against regulations for them to do so.

Just as it is for Marines. According to Marine Corps regulation MCO P1020.34F of the Marine Corps Uniform Regulations chapter 3, a male Marine is not allowed to carry an umbrella while in uniform. And in case you think Obama has the authority to override this regulation, he doesn’t:

The Marine Corps Manual, the guidebook that defines protocol for officers and enlisted Marines, in section 2806 paragraph 2, specifically states “The Marine Corps Uniform Regulations, published by the Commandant of the Marine Corps, shall be binding on all Marines. No officer or official shall issue instructions which conflict with, alter, or amend any provision without the approval of the Commandant of the Marine Corps.”

But of course the main reason that Marines and Soldiers don’t need umbrellas is because they’re real men who know they will not melt if a bit of rain falls on their head or uniform.

And more than that, there isn’t a Marine out there who would ask another man to hold an umbrella over his head for him.

But Obama is not a man. And this picture clearly shows how little respect or regard he has for the men who are there to protect his fucking worthless life, not to be props or servants.

The Marines, Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen who serve beneath this narcissistic douchebag already despised him. This picture is only going to make it worse.

Did Progress Texas Really Receive the Same Treatment from IRS as Conservative & Tea Party Groups?

The short answer? No, of course they didn’t.

But that won’t stop Matt Glazer and Phillip Martin from trying to pretend that’s true.

We know now that the IRS routinely and quickly approved liberal groups’ tax exempt status (almost as if though it were little more than a rubber stamp).

Via USA Today:

In February 2010, the Champaign Tea Party in Illinois received approval of its tax-exempt status from the IRS in 90 days, no questions asked.

That was the month before the Internal Revenue Service started singling out Tea Party groups for special treatment. There wouldn’t be another Tea Party application approved for 27 months.

In that time, the IRS approved perhaps dozens of applications from similar liberal and progressive groups, a USA TODAY review of IRS data shows.

As applications from conservative groups sat in limbo, groups with liberal-sounding names had their applications approved in as little as nine months. With names including words like “Progress” or “Progressive,” the liberal groups applied for the same tax status and were engaged in the same kinds of activities as the conservative groups.

Far-left advocacy groups like Progress Texas, which is a 501(c)4.

They claim they were “scrutinized” by the IRS in much the same way that Conservative and Tea Party groups were scrutinized, and that they “appreciate” the scrutiny.

As with the Tea Party groups, the IRS sought copies of promotional materials, backgrounds of officers, meeting minutes and specifics about activities, such as get-out-the-vote drives, that the organization said it would conduct.

Ahhhh…isn’t that cute? Matt Glazer — former Executive Director of Progress Texas and former blogger at the far-left Austin-based kiddie blog Burnt Orange Report — thinks that those were the same questions and inquiries made of Conservative Groups.

That simply isn’t true.

Additionally, the Progress Texas’s routine audit request came from a California office. The targeted Conservative inquiries were all from D.C.  and Cincinnati  Ohio offices. They were not sending out the same letters of inquiry from California to Liberals as they were from Cinncy to Conservatives.

You’ll also notice this little bit of information glossed over by Glazer:

An Austin, Texas-based group, Progress Texas, received a letter from the IRS in February 2013 when it sought nonprofit status.

While the average wait for Conservative and Tea Party groups to be granted (or denied) their tax exempt status is about 3 years, Progress Texas sought tax exempt non-profit status in February.

Of this year.

You’ll notice, if you go to their site, that tax exempt status has already been granted. In less than 3 months.

Probably a lot quicker than that.

But Matt Glazer and his BFF Phillip Martin (former kiddie blogger at BOR and now Political Director at Progress Texas) would have you believe that they received the exact same scrutiny as Conservative groups.

Who are still waiting for their tax-exempt non-profit status.

But let me ask you this Matt & Phillip: If the IRS treated you just the way they treat everybody else seeking non-profit status, why did the IRS admit wrong doing in specifically targeting Conservative and Tea Party groups?

Of course, the real issue here is that any of these groups are granted a tax-free non-profit status, which allows the hyper-partisan IRS to use their power to intimidate and harass their political foes.

The answer can be found in David Burge’s (of Iowa Hawk Blog) Twitter feed today:

Specifically, #4 — this way anybody and everybody is free to form a group or org and not have to worry about the IRS playing favorites.

The (not so) Daily Cute Kid — Cash All Cashed Out

Cash had a long day at his new day care today, where he was moved from the infants (6-12 months) class, into a class with 12-18 month old kids.

Part of our evening routine, before heading up for a bath and bedtime, is he sits in my leather recliner with me while I give him his final bottle of milk for the night. After a few minutes I glanced down, and this little tired man was already zonked out.

Cash sleeping

Cash passed out in daddy’s chair

That blue blanket, a baby shower gift from my oldest sister? It’s one of these Little Giraffe Chenille blanket; Cash is like Linus with this thing. Will not sleep without it.

We had to order two more of them, so he could have one at school for nap time, and another at home (plus a spare in case his primary is in the wash).

Too tired to even suck his thumb properly.

What Biased Media? — Media/White House Incest

It’s almost like the Alinsky-trained Socialist-in-Chief intentionally went out and sought to hire the family of the heads of the MSM to work closely to him…

Almost.

Nah…I’m sure it must be a coincidence:

Biased media

What biased media, indeed.

But I’m sure the totally professional and objective and not totally flipped to the Left members of the media will assure us that they don’t provide favorable coverage and spin for the White House or for their brother/sister/wife/husband.

EXECUTION WATCH: Jefferey Demond Williams

Officer Troy Blando

Officer Troy Blando, murdered by Jefferey Demond Williams

UPDATE: Justice has been served. He’s dead. And after reading his final words, he was a piece of shit excuse of a man and a human right up until his final wasted breath.

____________________________________

  • Thug: Jefferey Demond Williams (23 at time of offense)
  • Date of Execution: May 15, 2013
  • Date of Crime: May 19, 1999
  • Victim(s): Houston Police Officer Troy Blando (39)
  • Last Meal: A huge serving of Pentobarbital.
  • Final Words: Williams spoke quickly and angrily, beginning with “You clown police,” and accused them of “killing innocent kids, murdering young kids.” “Y’all are getting away with murder all the time,” he continued. “When I kill one or pop one, y’all want to kill me.” He ended his brief tirade by saying: “God has a plan for everything. … I love everyone that loves me, I ain’t got no love for anyone that don’t love me.”

This cop killer will finally be put to death for his crime just a few days short of 14 years since he murdered Officer Troy Blando.

On May 19, 1999, Jefferey Williams was driving a stolen vehicle. Officer Troy Blando stopped the vehicle and attempted to arrest Williams. Williams shot Officer Blando in the chest and fled the scene. Officer Blando was able to get back to his car and radio for help, but died as a result of the gunshot.

There is zero doubt about Williams’ guilt. Not only did he confess to the crime, but the evidence was irrefutable:

The arrested suspect, Jeffrey Demond Williams (African-American Male; 23) ironically provided many answers to investigators’ questions. Officer L. J. Satterwhite, ably assisted by Officers J. M. McPhail, J. E. Draycott, J. R. Martinez, B. J. McDonald and Sergeant G. B. Raschke, arrested Williams with not only the weapon he used to shoot Officer Blando but also with a totally undisputable piece of evidence – Officer Troy Blando’s handcuffs on one of his wrists. The officers took him back to a location near the scene of the shooting, where Lieutenant Neely assigned Officer Alan Brown and Sergeant John Swaim to personally take custody of the suspect and transport him to 1200 Travis for further interviews.

In the usual professional manner of HPD Homicide investigators, Brown and Swaim obtained utmost cooperation from the suspect. Jeffrey Williams confessed to the whole brutal ordeal, while accusing Officer Blando of disrespecting him and physically abusing him – a routine line from someone fully aware of the fact that he has just committed the final criminal act of his life. After being caught in several other falsehoods, Williams admitted to having taken the stolen Lexus two months previous in an armed robbery of a female. And, more importantly, Williams acknowledged in his confession that he knew that the plainclothes man who confronted him was a police officer.

He was arrested while still wearing Officer Blando’s handcuffs and carrying the 9mm handgun used to murder the officer.

Officer Troy Blando was survived by his wife Judith and his then thirteen- year-old son

If you have any interest in reading Williams’ defense, you can read it here. Basically, he contends that he did not know Blando was a police officer, and shot him in “self defense.” He also contends that his confession was coerced via brutal police beat downs.

And his latest appeals claim ‘mental impairment.’

His latest appeals have been denied:

A federal appeals court has refused to stop the scheduled execution this week of a man convicted of killing a Houston police A federal appeals court has refused to stop the scheduled execution this week of a man convicted of killing a Houston police officer 14 years ago this week.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Monday rejected an appeal from 37-year-old Jeffrey Demond Williams.

Williams is set to die Wednesday evening in Huntsville for fatally shooting 39-year-old Troy Blando as the officer was trying to handcuff him the morning of May 19, 1999, in a Houston motel parking lot.

Williams was driving a stolen car and Blando was in plain clothes working an auto theft assignment. Blando managed to radio a description of his attacker and police arrested Williams a short time later.

Williams’ lawyers still could appeal the 5th Circuit ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court.

NEXT

It’s been a week since our last execution, and it’ll be just a day less than a week before the next. Robert Lynn Pruett is scheduled for execution on May 21 for the 1999 murder of a prison guard at the McConnell Unit in Bee County. Pruett was already serving a life sentence from Harris County for one count of murder with a deadly weapon when he committed this offense.

White House Insider — “CIA Source Says Another Shoe To Drop On Obama”

Corrupt to the core

They forgot to add Fast & Furious to the list.

Of course, this isn’t the fourth shoe (Benghazi, IRS, AP phone records being the other three) that people keep counting. Because Fast & Furious is still a scandal that needs further investigation and answers.

But yeah…the schadenfreude of  watching Jay Carney twist and squirm in front of a suddenly-awakened White House Press Corps has been delightful:

“I already told you it’s the CIA’s turn next and it looks like that part is about to develop.  Now here’s the thing about CIA.  Those boys don’t play nice.  You sh*t on them, they shove a size 12 so far up your ass you can tie the laces with your teeth.

CIA source says still one more shoe to drop. Yes, four shoes. Dead ambassador, tapped phones, IRS probes. Will it be worse? Can it be?!

According to Drudge editor and Washington Times columnist Joseph Curl, the pouring rain ain’t over yet. He says a CIA source revealed another shoe could drop.

Benghazi, AP, IRS and one more scandal? That’s a lot of shoes, and we’re not even counting all the footwear planted firmly in President Obama’s mouth. LINK

The most corrupt administration ever.

The interesting part is that it took having the White House take a shit all over the rights of the media (in this case, having the Justice Department illegally obtain the personal and business phone records of AP reporters) to wake them up and make them start reporting on this corrupt regime.

I’m guessing the CIA has enough shit on Obama/Hillary/Holder to bury them. Which is why it’s a bad idea to piss off the CIA by constantly throwing them under the bus for your own failures.

Great comment from the Ulster Report:

This is the part where AP (and all MSM) realize they’re expendable in this Marxist Utopia they’ve helped create.

They went to bed “journalists,” but woke up yesterday demoted to “useful idiots.”

The Most Criminally Corrupt Administration in US History

If only Obama were as competent at creating jobs as he is at creating unconstitutional and impeachable scandals.

  • Fast & Furious — Eric Holder’s Justice Department sold guns to Mexican drug cartels and then watched them walk across the border and disappear. These guns were then used to kill hundreds of Mexican citizens and at least one US citizen, US Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. Obama and Eric Holder have refused to cooperate with investigations, have lied about what they knew and who was in charge of this operation.  Holder and Obama lied, and people really did die.
  • Benghazi — Hillary’s State Department refused repeated requests from Ambassador Chris Stevens for more security for the US Consulate in #Benghazi. Then, once they were under attack by terrorists, Obama and Hillary did everything they could to NOT send help. 7 hours later, while Obama slept peacefully in his bed, 4 Americans were dead, including Ambassador Stevens.  Hillary and Barry then colluded to intentionally deceive the American people about what happened and who was responsible. For weeks after the attack, they both continued to throw out the lie that the attacks were a spontaneous response to an obscure internet video, even though they both knew it was a lie from the moment the attacks started. Hillary and Obama lied; four brave Americans died. (Michael Barone: Did Clinton and Obama believe their Benghazi baloney?) Meanwhile, filmmaker Nakoula is still in jail.
  • The IRS — In 2009, Obama joked that he would use the IRS to audit his foes and enemies. In 2013, we found out that he wasn’t joking. In an effort to distract from the imploding Benghazi narrative, Obama released a report where the IRS admits to targeting Conservative and Tea Party groups for audits and harassment from the most powerful bureaucratic federal agency. But, to be fair, the IRS did apologize.

And single one of these unconstitutional scandals should be enough to topple any corrupt administration. And one of them would have been enough to topple a corrupt Republican administration.

But taken together? We are just one step away, I believe, from the American people marching — with fully loaded muskets, pitchforks, tar, feathers, and fire — on Washington D.C. and invoking the last recourse provided by the Declaration of Independence.

The Washington Post, writing about the IRS scandal notes:

A bedrock principle of U.S. democracy is that the coercive powers of government are never used for partisan purpose. The law is blind to political viewpoint, and so are its enforcers, most especially the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service. Any violation of this principle threatens the trust and the voluntary cooperation of citizens upon which this democracy depends.

That’s the key thing right there — our government is granted the powers that they have only by a the “voluntary cooperation” of its citizens. We are this close to revoking our voluntary cooperation.

In all three of these scandals, people should  be in jail (well, people other than some obscure film maker). In all three scandals, the stench and corruption reaches to the very top — Obama. Who should not only  be impeached, but should be in prison.

There is no love like a Mother’s love. It just isn’t possible.

Mother’s are Mighty.

    Unfolded out of the folds of the woman, man comes unfolded, as is always to come unfolded,
    Unfolded only out of the superbest woman of the earth, is to come the superbest man of the earth,
    Unfolded out of the friendliest woman, is to come the friendliest man,
    Unfolded only out of the perfect body of a woman, can a man be formed of perfect body,
    Unfolded only out of the inimitable poem of the woman, can come the poems of man—only thence have my poems come,
    Unfolded out of the strong and arrogant woman I love, only thence can appear the strong and arrogant man I love,
    Unfolded by brawny embraces from the well-muscled woman I love, only thence come the brawny embraces of the man,
    Unfolded out of the folds of the woman’s brain, come all the folds of the man’s brain, duly obedient,
    Unfolded out of the justice of the woman, all justice is unfolded,
    Unfolded out of the sympathy of the woman is all sympathy;
    A man is a great thing upon the earth, and through eternity—but every jot of the greatness of man is unfolded out of woman,
    First the man is shaped in the woman, he can then be shaped in himself.
