Ex-Schools Chief Beverly L. Hall in Atlanta, GA Indicted in Testing Scandal … Charged with Racketeering, Theft, Influencing Witnesses, Conspiracy & Making False Statements.

OBAMA WHITE HOUSE PRAISED INDICTED FORMER ATLANTA SCHOOL ADMINISTARTOR WHO CHEATED HER WAY TO FAME … CRIMINAL, SIMPLY CRIMINAL.

Dr. Beverly L. Hall, A former district school superintendent whose test scores brought her fame in 2009 as the American Association of School Administrators named her superintendent of the year. Barack Obama’s Secretary of Education Arne Duncan even hosted her at the White House. However, it appears to have been all a fabricated lie. Water seeks it’s own level, doesn’t it? Dr. Beverly L. Hall was indictedin a test cheating scandal and charged with racketeering, theft, influencing witnesses, conspiracy and making false statements. Prosecutors have recommended a $7.5 million bond for Dr. Hall and she could face up to 45 years in prison. Sadly, this is how these public school educators thought they were helping students, by cheating. As stated at NRO, the  Atlanta schools chief spearheaded a vast criminal conspiracy among administrators and teachers to cheat on standardized tests to artificially boost the scores of their pupils. How could anyone thin k this was beneficial? Well. it would not be for the students, but it would be for those administrators and teachers that were rewarded on merit pay for test scores.  Beverly L. Hall ”earned more than $500,000 in performance bonuses while superintendent.” However, the school lost $750,000 in state and federal aid that could have been used to help the students who were failing and reading at substandard levels. Instead, the cheating skewed the results.

Dr. Hall, who retired in 2011, was charged with racketeering, theft, influencing witnesses, conspiracy and making false statements. Prosecutors recommended a $7.5 million bond for her; she could face up to 45 years in prison.

During the decade she led the district of 52,000 children, many of them poor and African-American, Atlanta students often outperformed wealthier suburban districts on state tests.

Those test scores brought her fame — in 2009, the American Association of School Administrators named her superintendent of the year and Arne Duncan, the secretary of education, hosted her at the White House.

And fortune — she earned more than $500,000 in performance bonuses while superintendent.

On Friday, prosecutors essentially said it really was too good to be true. Dr. Hall and the 34 teachers, principals and administrators “conspired to either cheat, conceal cheating or retaliate against whistle-blowers in an effort to bolster C.R.C.T. scores for the benefit of financial rewards associated with high test scores,” the indictment said, referring to the state’s Criterion-Referenced Competency Test.

Reached late Friday, Richard Deane, Dr. Hall’s lawyer, said they were digesting the indictment and making arrangements for bond. “We’re pretty busy,” he said.

This is just another case of if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Once again we have public school educators and administrators screwing over America’s youth. What message does this send, the only way you can succeed is to cheat? It is bad enough that much of our public school education system can be deemed a crime against children, but this brings it to new levels.

Will Susan Rice be Obama’s New National Security Adviser after Failed Sec. of State Bid … What About Benghazi?

Just curious … what had changed for UN Ambassador Susan Rice and Benghazigate?

UN Ambassador Susan Rice appears to be Barack Obama’s front runner to be his new National Security Advisor. Yes, the same Susan Rice who went on the five Sunday talk shows and lied for the Administration that the attacks in Benghazi, Libya were a reaction to a video tape and not terrorism. Rice had to withdraw her name from being Secretary of State as the heat became too much of a political liability. She stated that she did not want to be a distraction to Barack Obama’s second term and agenda. She thought that her nomination would be politicized and prolonged. After having met with GOP Senators Ayotte, McCain and Graham regarding her misleading statements on Benghazi, they were more troubled after their meeting with Rice than before.  So what is going to be the difference this time? She still has to answer questions on Benghazi. So how does Rice get rewarded for misrepresenting the facts on Benghazi that saw the death of four Americans, including Ambassador Stevens?

They Lied … Obama et al knew 

Susan E. Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations who lost out in a bruising bid for the job of secretary of state, may have the last laugh.

Rice has emerged as far and away the front-runner to succeed Thomas E. Donilon as President Obama’s national security adviser later this year, according to an administration official familiar with the president’s thinking. The job would place her at the nexus of foreign-policy decision making and allow her to rival the influence of Secretary of State John F. Kerry in shaping the president’s foreign policy.

The appointment would mark a dramatic twist of fortune for Rice, whose prospects to become the country’s top diplomat fizzled last year after a round of television appearances in which she provided what turned out to be a flawed account of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya.

It would appear good soldiers who lie and misrepresent the facts for Obama and then fall on their sword are rewarded by President Barack Obama.

As Obama White House Denies Threats to Woodward, Democrat Lanny Davis Admits to Threats From Obama White House as Well (Update: Add Ron Fournier to the List)

WOODWARDGATE CONTINUES …

As the Barack Obama White House denies that Gene Sperling, an economic adviser to the president, threatened journalist Bob Woodward, along comes this bombshell. FOX News contributor and former President Bill Clinton aid  Lanny Davis said he also received threats from the Obama regime. It would seem that the Obama Chicago-style brand of politics knows no bounds, including threatening the press. How ironic is it that the very group of people who have carried Obama’s water and acted more as a propaganda arm of the Obama White House than a fact checking, investigative news source, is actually being threatened behind the scenes. So much for the First Amendment and Freedom of the Press.

Lanny Davis stated that his editor was threatened by a senior Obama White House official ”that if he [the editor] continued to run my [Lanny Davis] columns, he would lose, or his reporters would lose their White House credentials.” Could Barack Obama be any more like Richard Nixon?

Bob Woodward isn’t the only person who’s received threats for airing the Obama administration’s dirty laundry.  It seems anyone is a potential target of the White House these days – even former senior members of the Clinton administration.

A day after Woodward’s claim that a senior White House official had told him he would “regret” writing a column criticizing President Obama’s stance on the sequester, Lanny Davis, a longtime close advisor to President Bill Clinton, told WMAL’s Mornings on the Mall Thursday he had received similar threats for newspaper columns he had written about Obama in the Washington Times.

Davis told WMAL that his editor, John Solomon, “received a phone call from a senior Obama White House official who didn’t like some of my columns, even though I’m a supporter of Obama. I couldn’t imagine why this call was made.”  Davis says the Obama aide told Solomon, “that if he continued to run my columns, he would lose, or his reporters would lose their White House credentials.”

But wait, there is more, add Ron Fournier to the list of media who have been threatened by this thug White House. What makes me think that this is not norm and not the exception and that this White House has been doing this all along?

As editor-in-chief of National Journal, I received several e-mails and telephone calls from this White House official filled with vulgarity, abusive language, and virtually the same phrase that Politico characterized as a veiled threat. “You will regret staking out that claim,” The Washington Post reporter was told.

As stated at the Hit and Run blog, the Most Openly and Transparently Thin-Skinned Administration in History. Amen brother. It was only made worse and enable by a cowardly and complicit media.

VOTER FRAUD: Ohio Poll Worker Melowese Richardson Who Proadly Boasted of Voting For Obama Twice In Ohio, May Have actually Voted Six Times

You Once, Twice, Six Times an Obama voter … I am expecting Lionel Richey and the Commodores to break out into song at any moment. So just how much voter fraud went on in the 2012 Presidential elections?

Thanks for the times
That you’ve voted for me
The memories are all in my mind
And now that we’ve come
To the end of our voter fraud
There’s something
I must say out loud
You’re once, twice
Six times an Obama voter
Yes you’re once twice
Six times an Obama voter …

Melowese Richardson, the Ohio poll worker who previously boasted of voting for Barack Obama twice during the 2012 presidential election may have actually voted six times. Richardson previously told a local television station that she voted twice last November. She claims to have cast an absentee ballot and then voted at the polls as well. However, that might be just the tip of the voter fraud iceberg. As reported at Fox News, authorities are investigating if she voted in the names of four other people, too, for a total of six votes in the 2012 presidential election. Richardson is one of 19 people suspected of illegal voting by the Hamilton County Board of Elections in the last election. Most likely this is like the cockroach principle, for ever one that is seen, there are hundreds and thousands in the walls. Melowese Richardson admits to voting twice and possibly up to six times; however, she claims “There was absolutely no intent on my part to commit any voter fraud.” A note to Miss Richardson, you admitted to voting twice, that is intent to commit voter fraud you idiot.

The Obama/Biden lawn sign remains proudly planted in front of MelowesSe Richardson’s Cincinnati home, three months after the presidential election.

It seems that President Obama has an especially ardent supporter in the veteran Ohio poll worker.

Richardson told a local television station this month that she voted twice last November. She cast an absentee ballot and then voted at the polls as well.

“Yes, I voted twice,” Richardson told WCPO-TV. “I, after registering thousands of people, certainly wanted my vote to count, so I voted. I voted at the polls.”

Authorities also are investigating if she voted in the names of four other people, too, for a total of six votes in the 2012 presidential election.

 And as Weasel Zippers states, voter ID laws are still racist. I guess it is safe to say why we know why Democrats are against voter fraud and voter ID laws, eh?

Jesse Jackson Jr. Intends to Plead Guilty to Federal Charges of Illegal Use of $750,000 in Campaign Funds

More Chicago style politics … Jesse Jackson Jr. plans to plead guilty to misusing campaign funds.

Former Democrat Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. (IL-D) and his wife  Sandi intend to plead guilty to federal charges of the misuse of $750,000 of campaign funds. Jackson was charged with spending about $750,000 of campaign funds on personal purchases, making false statements and wire and mail fraud.  Federal authorities allege that Jackson Jr. used campaign funds to purchase a $43,350 men’s gold-plated Rolex watch, $5,150 worth of fur capes and parkas, and $9,588 in children’s furniture.  What a stand up kind guy, the misuse of funds does not stop there. He also purchased with campaign funds $10,105 on Bruce Lee memorabilia, $11,130 on Martin Luther King memorabilia and $22,700 on Michael Jackson items, including $4,600 for a “Michael Jackson fedora. It is not like this was a one time deal of the misuse of funds, the purchases were made between 2007 and 2009. He faces up to five years in prison and $250,000 in fines. What are the odds he gets a slap on the wrist?

Jesse Jackson Jr. will be saying good bye from politics for a while with a little illegal campaign finance issue

Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife Sandi intend to plead guilty to federal charges alleging the former congressman misused $750,000 in campaign funds while she understated their income on  tax returns for six years, their lawyers say.

Jackson Jr., 47, a Democrat from Chicago, was charged in a criminal information Friday with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, mail fraud and false statements. He faces up to five years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000 and other penalties.

Sandi Jackson was charged with one count of filing false tax returns. She faces up to three years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000 and other penalties.

Jackson Jr. is accused of diverting $750,000 in campaign funds for personal use.

I guess this can explain why Jesse Jackson Jr. was in rehab for such a long period of time. Jackson was trying to be cured of “Misuse of Campaign Funditis”.

UPDATE I: In a statement, Jackson Jr. said: [editors note: the are sorry they got caught]

“Over the course of my life I have come to realize that none of us are immune from our share of shortcomings and human frailties. Still I offer no excuses for my conduct and I fully accept my responsibility for the improper decisions and mistakes I have made. To that end I want to offer my sincerest apologies to my family, my friends and all of my supporters for my errors in judgment and while my journey is not yet complete, it is my hope that I am remembered for the things that I did right.”

Sandi Jackson’s attorneys released a statement saying she “has accepted responsibility for her conduct, is deeply sorry for her actions, and looks forward to putting this matter behind her and her family. She is thankful for the support of her family and friends during this very difficult time.”

Sex Scandal: Dominican Prostitute Says Sen. Bob Menendez ‘likes the youngest and newest girls’ … Did Menendez Break the Very Law (Protect Act) That He Voted For?

It had been previously reported that the FBI was investigating New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez. The 59 year old Democrat US Senator has been connected with long time Menendez campaign donor Dr. Salomon Melgen for accepting expense paid trips to the Dominican Republic. Such gifts are against the law and go against campaign-finance laws. Menendez paid the money back some two years later after the situation came to light. However, the story scandal does not stop there. Dr. Salomon Melgen is also being investigated for organizing sex parties where New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez is accused of having sex wit underage female prostitutes. According to am email from the female prostitute released by CREW via the Daily Caller, Bob Menendez ‘likes the youngest and newest girls’.

In a little-noticed email published online Wednesday by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a young Dominican woman wrote nine months ago that she slept with 59-year-old New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez at a series of sex parties organized by Dr. Salomon Melgen, a longtime Menendez campaign donor.

“That senator also likes the youngest and newest girls,” the woman wrote on April 21, 2012, according to an English translation provided to The Daily Caller by a native Spanish speaker.

“In the beginning he seemed so serious, because he never spoke to anyone, but he is just like the others and has just about the same tastes as the doctor, very refined. I think they were taking us more often to get us checked [medically] because of him.”

See the email HERE.

VIDEO

More from The Daily Caller:

Her account of the sex parties Menendez allegedly attended in the Dominican Republic is the most detailed to surface since TheDC first began reporting on the story in November.

She told her story to a tipster who forwarded the email to CREW; it was not included with the cache of documents he published online on Jan. 24. TheDC was first to report on that dossier about Sen. Menendez, which included an interview transcript in which a different women claimed she was 16 when she began sleeping with him.

That young prostitute said she had sex with Menendez “three times at least” in 2009. “The first one in February, and then in May and June. I recall his visit in June so well because that month was my 17th birthday.”

Senator Bob Menendez has denied the allegations. However, if convicted Menendez could face 30 years in prison. The irony is that Menendez could have broke the “Protect Act,” otherwise known as the “Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to end the Exploitation of Children Today” that he voted for when he was a member of the US House of Representatives.

If Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey is found guilty of traveling to the Dominican Republic to engage in sexual intercourse with underage prostitutes, he could face up to 30 years prison. The appropriate law, which would seem to apply in this instance, is the Prosecutorial Remedies And Other Tools To End The Exploitation Of Children Today (or the Protect Act).

FBI Investigating Sen. Bob Menendez (NJ-D) for Sex with Underage Dominican Republic Prostitutes

Well, isn’t this special …

The FBI is investigating New Jersey Democrat Senator Bob Menendez for sex with underage female prostitutes while on trips to the Dominican Republic. According to reports, the prostitutes were as young as 16 years old. How exactly is this guy still in office? Heck, disgraced NY Representative Anthony Weiner left office because of lewd pics on Twitter. All Menendez is doing is paying for sex with underage Dominican Republic hookers. This is a crime, is it not? WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?

Documents published online for the first time Thursday indicate that the FBI opened an inquiry into New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez on August 1, 2012, focusing on repeated trips he took to the Dominican Republic with longtime campaign contributor and Miami eye doctor Salomon Melgen. TheDC reported in November that Menendez purchased the service of prostitutes in that Caribbean nation at a series of alcohol-fueled sex parties.

The documents, which The Daily Caller had obtained hours earlier from an anonymous source, also indicate that Carrie Levine, research director at Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), was alerted on April 9, 2012 to Menendez’s habit of paying for sex while outside the United States.

 Check out the details from Feds Investigation on Senator Menendez.

I am guessing that Bob Menendez did not take the below video to heart. Instead he wanted to further exploit the exploited. How is this man still a US Senator? This is an FBI investigation where Menendez has exploited the most vulnerable in a country where children are treated like a commodity.

Who are the children and aspects of vulnerability? 
According to newspaper reports approximately 30,000 children and adolescents are involved in the sex industry. Two thirds of those are girls. The main reason for entering prostitution is to support themselves, their children or their family. It has also been found that girls enter prostitution with the aspiration of meeting a rich foreign man that takes them abroad. 
Children become involved in prostitution through friends and family who encourage them to migrate and help them to find jobs and settle into tourist areas.  
“Many minors, both boys and girls start to work in prostitution between the ages of thirteen – fourteen. Girls are considered sexually available by the time they are twelve – thirteen, while the boys tend to move from shoe shining into offering sexual services as a way of distancing themselves from shoe shining which is considered a childish profession”. 
Boys often move into the top end of the market as ‘Sanky Pankies1’, men aged eighteen to thirty who often work for hotels or have some other employment in the tourist sector and mostly provide sexual services for tourist women.  
While one reason that children become involved in prostitution is to support the family, there are a number of other causes:

Peter Robbins, the Voice of the Animated Peanuts Character “Charlie Brown” Arrested on 5 Felony Charges for Making Death Threats and Stalking

 I guess we all missed the Peanuts special … You’re a Felon Charlie Brown

Suddenly Charlie Brown having Lucy pull the football out from under him as he is trying to kick it or him getting a lump of coal at Halloween sounds rather trivial. The lovable failure might have outdone himself this time. Peter Robbins, who as a child was the voice of Peanuts character ‘Charlie Brown’ was arrested on five felony charges and is scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday. Robbins was stopped at the San Ysidro Port of Entry between San Diego and Tijuana. The 56 year old Robbins was charged with four felony counts of making a threat to cause death or great bodily injury and one felony count of stalking. I must have missed the ‘Peanuts’ special … You’re a felon Charlie Brown. Robbins is being held on $550,000 bail.

I guess Charlie Brown should have spent more time in psychiatric help or paid more than 5 cents a session

Robbins was arrested shortly after 8 p.m. Sunday at the San Ysidro Port of Entry, said Angelica de Cima, spokeswoman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection. He was driving a silver 2006 Mercedes-Benz C230 when a border officer referred him to an area for a more thorough examination, she said. He was the only person in the car at the time.

A systems check determined that Robbins was wanted by the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department for a felony warrant for crimes against a person, De Cima said.

Jan Caldwell, a spokeswoman for the Sheriff’s Department, said Tuesday night that she did not immediately have details about the warrant.

Robbins provided the voice of Charlie Brown in several “Peanuts” productions in the late 1960s, including the film “A Boy Named Charlie Brown” and television specials “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.” The television shows remain popular today.

Damn, first the voice of Elmo and now Charlie Brown? Who’s next, Barney the Dinosaur?

Simply Disgusting … Barack Obama Plans to Surround Himself With Children During Gun Control Announcement … What About Teaching the Children, “I’m Just a Bill”?

Mmm, mmm, mmm … Barack Hussein Obama. How shameless and disgusting could President Barack Obama be … now this president is going to use children as props to get his anti-2nd Amendment gun control recommendations passed.

THE DIVIDER IN CHIEF STRIKES AGAIN … White House Press Secretary Jay Carney today announced that President Barack Obama will surround himself with children during his gun control announcement. President Obama is planning to announce 19 executive actions on gun control as he uses children as props.  Not only is this president going to go against the US Constitution, the 2nd Amendment and separation powers in attempting to enact 19 executive gun control orders, but he also plans to act in a shameless manner and exploit children in his liberal agenda power and gun grab. The man is simply without shame.

From the Washington Examiner:

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney announced this afternoon that President Obama will unveil a “concrete package” of gun control proposals including assault weapons bans, high capacity ammunition magazine bans, and closing loopholes on background checks.

Carney said that the president will be joined by Vice President Joe Biden as well as children who wrote to the president after the Newtown shootings.

“They will be joined by children around the country expressing their concerns about gun violence and school safety, along with their parents,” Carney confirmed.

President Obama specifically mentioned children during his December speech in response to the shooting.

I am sick an tried of this president trying to make it appear that if you are not for what he is for, then you are evil. Frankly, I find it the height of hypocrisy that a present that has inflicted so much debt on the future generations, that would be the children, grand-children and great grandchildren of America, to say he is for saving them.  Maybe following the presser the children  can sing mm, mm, mm … Barack Hussein Obama!!!

Maybe the children behind the president should be in school and be made to watch the below video from School House Rock … I’m just a bill? Instead of being exploited by a president who would seemingly use anyone to get his agenda through without actually following the US Constitution, maybe these kids would be better served to be educated.

Oprah Winfrey Interview … Lance Armstrong Admits Doping and Says He Plans to Testify Against International Cycling Union Officials

After decades of denials, Lance Armstrong admits to doping during his interview with Oprah Winfrey. It had been widely speculated that Armstrong was finally going to come clean on his doping past. According to accounts, in an Oprah interview that is scheduled to air on Thursday, Lance Armstrong confessed that he used performance enhancing drugs during his cycling career. A sport that he has been presently banned for life and has been stripped of his record seven Tour de France titles. Reports also say that Armstrong is willing to testify against International Cycling Union officials who were aware of the wide spreading doping in the sport. The questions is to Armstrong, so why now? Will Armstrong’s admission and outing of officials get his ban shortened and allow him to compete in cycling and triathlon events in the future?

In an interview with Oprah Winfrey that is scheduled for broadcast on her network on Thursday, Lance Armstrong confessed that he used performance-enhancing drugs during his cycling career, according to two people briefed on the interview, which was recorded Monday in Austin, Tex.

It is unclear, though, how forthcoming Armstrong was about his doping program, which the United States Anti-Doping Agency has said was part of the most sophisticated, organized and professional doping scheme in the history of sports. Armstrong, when reached by e-mail Monday, said he could not discuss the interview.
