Rep. Trey Gowdy (SC-R) Rips into IRS Officials as he Fights Back Tears During Congressional Hearing

THE IRS SCANDAL … A CHARACTER ISSUE.

US Representative Trey Gowdy (SC-R) owns the room as he rips into the wasteful spending of the IRS as he fights back the tears at yesterdays Congressional Oversight Committee . Everyone, no matter what your political affiliation is needs to watch this. It is the reason why the abuses of the IRS affect everyone. Not only did this rogue government agency abuse its power and purposely targeted conservative and Tea Party organizations, but they also wasted the hard earned tax payer dollars on lavish conventions. Gowdy tells the story of a secretary in his office who asked him to borrow money for a birthday gift for her child, all the while that the IRS was spending $3500 a night on hotel rooms. As people are losing their jobs, homes and health insurance the IRS was spending $4,000,0000 at conferences.

Much more and many Tweets from Twitchy.

Top IRS Official For Obamacare Implementation Placed On Administrative Leave, With Pay

More paid summer vacations for IRS agents caught doing wrong. Yup, this is how Barack Obama holds the IRS accountable.

The IRS has placed two top official in charge of implementing Obamacare on administrative leave after it was discovered he had accepted $1,162 in free food and other items during a 2010 conference. The same 2010 conference that we have seen ridiculous videos of line dancing and other wasteful spending of tax payer money. The IRS officials have been placed on administrative leave, with pay of course. Thus, these two IRS officials, along with Lois Lerner now have a paid summer vacation. Way to hold them accountable.

So let’s get this straight, we have an IRS scandal of Biblical proportions of a government agency that targeted conservative groups in a political manner and all we have to show for it is Lois Lerner on paid vacation and two other IRS officials place on administrative leave for taking free food? WTF!!! Not even close folks. People need to go to jail for this and its not about “free food”.

Sources say a key official in charge of overseeing health reform implementation, as well as another staffer, have been put on leave for accepting more than $1,000 in free meals and other items at a 2010 conference.

The IRS has put a top official in charge of implementing Obamacare on administrative leave after it was discovered he had accepted $1,162 in free food and other items during a 2010 conference.

In a statement, the IRS confirmed that two employees have been placed on administrative leave — which is paid — and have begun the process of removing them.

“[Acting IRS Director] Danny Werfel learned of the situation last night and immediately asked his leadership team to take action. He has also been in contact with key congressional committees about the situation,” the service said in the statement.

“When I came to IRS, part of my job was to hold people accountable,” Werfel said. “There was clearly inappropriate behavior involved in this situation, and immediate action is needed.”

The IRS informed congressional staff investigating the agency that Fred Schindler had been put on leave for accepting the gifts. A second unnamed staffer in the division was also put on leave for accepting the gifts, the aides said.

Weasel Zippers nails it … Forget rogue employees, the IRS is a rogue agency!!!

HATE CRIME: Unhinged Rhode Island Woman Yells “Dumb White Girl” as She Sics Her Pitbulls on ABC6 News Reporter Abbey Niezgoda

Hate Crime and racist double standard …  Hmm, I thing thins just might be a hate crime … what do you think?

An ABC 6 news crew in Providence, Rhode Island was covering a story to get a mothers reaction that the man accused of shooting his teenage daughter at a graduation part has just been arrested. The 16 year old had turned himself in. Lawrence’s daughter has been released from the hospital and is currently recovering from a gunshot wound. What happened next, defies logic or sanity. Then, the mother, Melissa Lawrence turned violent herself. Lawrence began throwing rocks at the cameraman and female reporter, Abbey Niezgoda. Then she went into the house and came out with a baseball bat and sicced her two pitbull dogs on the news crew. WTF!!! All is caught on video tape. The reporter was bit on the arm as she fled down the street to a neighbors yard.

Oh did we mention, the unhinged, insanoid woman screamed, “Get the f*** away from house you dumb white girl”. Hmm, not only is this assault, its a “HATE CRIME”. Let’s be consistent here folks. What do you think would happen if a white individual called a female reporter a dumb black girl as they sic their dogs on them? Hmm?

From ABC6 - Don’t see any mention of a hate crime, why not? , Melissa Lawrence is the one who hurled the racial slur at TV reporter Abbey Niezgoda. Obviously, Lawrence’s attack was more than just what it seems on the surface. Lawrence did not call her a dumb b*itch, a dumb MF’er, a dumb F’er or a dumb POS. She brought race into this. Once again we are witness to a double standard as if the roles were reversed, the focus would not have been on the attack, the baseball bat or the pitbulls, it would have been the racist comment. Had the rolls been reversed, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the NAACP would have made a b-line for Providence, “no justice, no peace”. What’s the difference?

The woman who attacked the ABC6 crew has been arrested and charged with two counts of felony assault with a dangerous weapon. She is scheduled to be arraigned in Providence District Court Wednesday afternoon.

An ABC6 crew was on assignment in Providence when they were assaulted in broad daylight. It started with a question that led to a violent response. The crew was on Public Street in Providence, attempting to get reaction from the mother of the teenage girl who was shot at a graduation party over the weekend.

Instead of declining to speak on-camera, Melissa Lawrence replied “OK, that’s good,” and then suddenly hurled a rock at ABC6 photographer Marc Jackson. The rock just missed the photographer’s head. The crew then started to leave, but Lawrence came out wielding a baseball bat. She then told her two dogs to attack.

Former Miss America Erika Harold to Run for Congress for Illinois’s 13th Congressional District as a Republican

Here she comes … Miss Illinois’s 13th Congressional District.

Erika Harold, former Miss America is running for Congress in the GOP primary for Illinois’s 13th Congressional District as a Republican.  WKSD reports, 33 year old Harold says her priorities will be promoting conservative principles and encouraging economic growth and says she believes she can help expand the party’s voting base and reach people who don’t traditionally vote Republican. Just one problem with that, the seat is currently held by Republican, freshman Rodney Davis. So it would appear that individuals in her district do vote Republican. We shall see what happens, we wish her the best.

For the former Miss America who just jumped into the race for Illinois’s 13th Congressional District, the Republican primary might be, well, a bit like a beauty pageant.

She calls her opponent, an incumbent freshman, a “good person,” insists there’s no need for attacks, and says let the judges, no, make that the voters, decide.

Harold, 33 and single, is a Harvard-educated attorney, a born-and-bred local and was a delegate to the 2004 Republican National Convention. She won the Miss America crown in 2003.

Harold, who announced her bid to take on Davis on Tuesday, says she has no problem with the attention on her pageant past. In fact, she says, it’s one of the things that make her qualified to serve in Congress.

Hmm, you know what seems to be absent from the reporting by the MSM of Erika Harold, who is a Republican?  She’s black. Personally, I do not believe it should make any difference about one skin color, as it is “about the content of one’s character.” However, back when she won Miss America, it was referenced. So why not now? Check out from BET, black beauty queens.  Could it be because the MSM does not want to report to the public that GOP actually has ethnicity? I just wonder if Erika Harold does win her primary and goes to Congress, if the MSM will still refer to her as she’s “got beauty, and, good golly, the brains to match?”

Powerline has some personal observations of Erika Harold.
