House to Vote on Bill Prohibiting IRS Enforcement of Obamacare

Just say no to IRS enforcement of Obamacare …

The US House of Representatives is going to vote on a bill that would prohibit the Treasury Department, including the IRS,  from implementing and enforcing the provisions of Obamacare.   According to The Weekly Standard, the bill, authored Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) and co-sponsored by 114 other House members is purposed to “prohibit the Secretary of the Treasury from enforcing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010.” As compared the the enormous Obamacare law, this bill is only 2 pages long.  It is being called the, ‘‘Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act of 2013’’.

SEC. 3. PROHIBITING ENFORCEMENT OF PPACA AND  HCERA.

The Secretary of the Treasury, or any delegate of the
Secretary, shall not implement or enforce any provisions
of or amendments made by Public Law 111–148 or 111– 152.

With all of the recent scandals targeting conservatives and Tea Party non-profits, complete and total incompetence and out of control wasteful spending by the IRS, how could anyone trust them to enforce Obamacare?

The House is expected to hold a vote on the bill before Congress goes on their August recess. Make sure to call your Congressman.

Boston Marathon Bombing Suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Pleads Not Guilty

Terrorist Dzhokhar Tsarnaev pleads not guilty …

Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev appeared in court today and pleaded not guilty to 30 federal counts as related to the terror bombing attacks that took place on Patriots Day, April 15 in Boston, Massachusetts. The bombing attacks killed three spectators and wounded about 260 near the finish line of the marathon and the suspect was also charged in the murder of  Sean Collier, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer, three days later.

From CNN:

Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev pleaded not guilty Wednesday to 30 federal counts related to the April 15 attacks.

Tsarnaev appeared in a federal courtroom in Boston on Wednesday for an arraignment in the April 15 bombings, which killed three spectators and wounded about 260, and the slaying of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer three days later. He faces a total of 30 counts in connection with bombings and a police chase that left his brother, Tamerlan, dead.

MIT police officers lined up outside the courthouse as the hearing neared its end Wednesday afternoon in a show of solidarity with their fallen comrade, Sean Collier. Inside, many of the surviving victims watched as Tsarnaev was brought into court; the 19-year-old’s hair appeared disheveled as he looked back at them before entering his plea.

From The WAPO: His arm in cast and his face swollen, Boston Marathon bombing suspect pleads not guilty. Awe, poor baby.

His arm in a cast and his face swollen, a blase-looking Dzhokhar Tsarnaev pleaded not guilty Wednesday in the Boston Marathon bombing in a seven-minute proceeding that marked his first public appearance since his capture in mid-April.

As victims of the bombing looked on, Tsarnaev, 19, gave a small, lopsided smile to his sisters upon arriving in the courtroom. He appeared to have a jaw injury and there was swelling around his left eye and cheek.

THE DEFENSE RESTS … George Zimmerman Will Not Testify in his Murder Trial in the Death of Trayvon Martin

The Defense has rested and defendant George Zimmerman will not testify in his own half in his murder trial.

George Zimmerman has officially decided to not testify in his own defense. Zimmerman stated to judge that it was his decision and no one forced him into making the decision. No one was really thinking that he would at this point as the prosecution has basically put on an extremely weak case and the Zimmerman defense team has pretty much made numerous  points for their side. The state had pretty much allowed Zimmerman to testify without cross-examination by the manner in which the prosecution presented certain evidence, i.e. the interview of George Zimmerman with Fox News Sean Hannity and the George Zimmerman reenactment of what happened the night of the death of Trayvon Martin.

Defense attorneys have rested their case in George Zimmerman’s second-degree murder trial after calling 18 witnesses over less than a week.

Prosecutors now plan to call two rebuttal witnesses. Both sides will then work on jury instructions before presenting closing arguments. The case is then sent to jurors.

Zimmerman never testified about the fatal struggle with Trayvon Martin, but jurors saw repeated video recordings of Zimmerman telling his story to investigators.

The prosecution will most likely rue the day they made this colossal mistake.

George Zimmerman Murder Trial: Forensic Pathologist Dr. Vincent Di Maio Testifies that Trayvon Martin was On Top of Zimmerman When Teen Was Shot

Forensic pathologist Dr. Vincent Di Maio may have been the best witness yet for the George Zimmerman defense team to date.

Dr. Vincent Di Maio has an impeccable vitae and credentials. Di Maio’s testimony supported  that the medical evidence was consistent with defendant George Zimmerman’s statement that Trayvon martin was on top of him when he fired the lethal shot that killed the teen. Di Maio also stated, “the clothing [Trayvon's clothing] is consistent with someone leaning over the person doing the shooting.”

Evidence supports George Zimmerman’s claim that Trayvon Martin was on top of him when Zimmerman fired the shot that killed the teen, a forensic pathologist testified Tuesday at Zimmerman’s murder trial.

“The medical evidence is consistent with Mr. Zimmerman’s statement,” said Vincent DiMaio, an expert witness for the defense. The pathologist also found that Trayvon lived no more than three minutes after the shooting and probably was conscious for at least 10 to15 seconds.

DiMaio also testified that Zimmerman’s head injuries could have been caused by coming into contact with concrete and that such injuries can be very dangerous. That testimony supported Zimmerman’s claim that Trayvon was slamming his head into a sidewalk.

More from US News:

“If you are lying on your back your clothing is going to be against your chest,” Di Maio said, according to ABC News. “The clothing is consistent with someone leaning over the person doing the shooting.”

Di Maio also said that Martin could have been able to speak for 10 to 15 seconds after he was shot, but that he most likely died within one to three minutes of the shooting.

In that time, however, Di Maio said Martin could have moved his arms under his body. Zimmerman has said he spread the teenager’s arms after he shot him, but police on the scene said Martin’s arms were under his body.

Di Maio’s testimony regarding the time frame in which Martin died after the gunshot contradicted that of a prosecution witness who testified earlier in the trial. Shiping Bao, the associate medical examiner who conducted Martin’s autopsy, testified Martin likely lived for several more minutes after he was shot. Bao told the jury that Martin could have been suffering for up to 10 minutes and that the bullet wound would have instantly incapacitated him.

“His heart was still beating,” Bao said. “He was still alive, he was still in pain.”

Home of Missing 11 Year Old Autistic Boy Terry Dewayne Smith Jr. Being Treated As a Crime Scene … Authorities Searching for Possible Human Remains (Update: Remains Found, Serving Search Warrants) (Update: The 16 Year Old Brother Arrested for Murder)

11 year old Terry Dewayne Smith Jr. has been missing since July 6, 2013 in Menifee, California. The 11 year old autistic boy went missing on Saturday at 7:30 pm at his home in the 33000 block of Helen Lane. However, there appears to be some breaking events in the case. The Menifee Mayor Scott Mann has stated that investigators are treating the home of Terry Dewayne Smith Jr. as a crime scene. According to accounts, authorities are searching for possible human remains of the missing boy at his home.

Authorities in Southern California are searching for possible human remains at the home of an 11-year-old autistic boy who vanished over the weekend.

Menifee Mayor Scott Mann says investigators are treating the home of Terry Dewayne Smith Jr. as a crime scene.

Riverside County sheriff’s Deputy Albert Martinez tells the Riverside Press-Enterprise that detectives were led to the home shortly after 1 a.m. Wednesday based on evidence indicating there might be a body there.

However, authorities aren’t releasing any details.

UPDATE I: Remains found; investigators serving search warrants.

Remains? Hmm, the boy has supposedly only been missing since Saturday. One would think that there would be an identifiable body, not just remains at this point. That is if he actually went missing on Saturday and sadly, not if animals possible were involved.

Investigators serving a search warrant at the Menifee home of an 11-year-old autistic boy missing since Saturday have found remains and are trying to determine if they are human, sheriff’s official said.

The search for Terry Smith, missing since Saturday, has been suspended and investigators have been combing the yard of the boy’s Menifee home since early this morning.

Sheriff’s officials went to the property about 1:30 a.m. based on information there may be human remains there, said Deputy Albert Martinez, a spokesman for the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. But Martinez did not disclose who led investigators there.

During a news conference Wednesday, Capt. John Hill said the body of a boy who fits the description of 11-year-old Terry Smith was found overnight in a “shallow grave containing partially exposed human remains.”
