Oops … $67 Million Missing from Obamacare Slush Fund

Oh the double standard hypocrisy of the IRS …

From the department that say it did not intentionally target conservative non-profit and Tea Party organizations comes the following, $67 million missing from a slush fund established for Obamacare implementation. Imagine what would happen in an IRS audit if you could not account for $67, let alone $67 million? Too bad the IRS does not follow the same rules and standards that they make others do.

So where is the money?

The IRS is unable to account for $67 million spent from a slush fund established for Obamacare implementation, according to a Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) report released today.

The “Health Insurance Reform Implementation Fund” (HIRIF) was tucked into Obamacare in order to give the IRS money to enforce the tax provisions of the healthcare law.  The fund, totaling some $1 billion of taxpayer money, was used to roll out enforcement mechanisms for the approximately 50 tax provisions of Obamacare.

According to the report:  “Specifically, the IRS did not account for or attempt to quantify approximately $67 million [from the slush fund] of indirect ACA costs incurred for Fiscal Years 2010 through 2012.”

The report also found several other abuses of taxpayer funds, including: (More)

These people are just playing fast and furious with your hard earned money and they follow no rules.

UPDATE: 7th Graders at Virginia Beach, VA Suspended for Playing With Toy Guns On Private Property Are Officially Expelled

UNREAL. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE COUNTRY I GREW UP IN …

From the story the other day where three 7th graders were suspended from their Virginia Beach, VA elementary school for playing with toy guns on private property, we have an update and you are not going to believe it.  The children were suspended for possession, handling and use of a firearm, even though it was a toy.

Talk about you overreactions and lack of any common sense.

Here is the update from The Daily Caller, three morons on the disciplinary committee consisting from the Virginia Beach City Public Schools board made the absurd decision to unanimously expel the boys for the rest of the school year. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! The three brain surgeons from the Virginia Beach City Public Schools board were identified by local media as Dottie Holtz, Bobby Melatti and Carolyn Weems. Who on earth comes up with this decision in an attempt to ruin these children’s lives? Talk about the punishment not fitting the crime. Of course there was no crime, it was a friggin toy gun.

The Virginia Beach seventh graders who were suspended for playing with an airsoft toy gun on their own private property have now been expelled for an entire school year.

The decision was made unanimously by a disciplinary committee consisting of three members of the Virginia Beach City Public Schools board, according to local news.

Khalid Caraballo and Aidan Clark are banned from Larkspur Middle School until at least January, when a new hearing will be convened to determine whether the boys can come back to school early.

Here are the brain surgeons from the Virginia Beach City Public Schools board, otherwise  known as the latest  Ship of Fools.

Gallup Poll: Under Barack Obama Presidency Americans’ Belief That Government Is Too Powerful Rises to a Record Level

Government tyranny at an all time high under Obama presidency …

A recent Gallup poll shows that 60% of Americans believe the US federal government has far too much power. The United States has become a regulation nation where too much power is coming out of Washington, DC from all branches of government against the will of the people and the US Constitution. The American people are getting fed up. We need to look no further than Obamacare that was forced down the throats of all Americans by one party rule and than unconscionably declared constitutional for the SCOTUS.We can also see the all too much power evident at the IRS, where a government agency is allowed to target groups for their political beliefs and basically get away with it in a cover up. Or the NSA that is allowed to attain information on people whether they have committed a crime or not. Or what about the government “gun” walking program with ‘Fast & Furious’ or the ongoing government cover-up with Benghazi-gate?

According to the Gallup poll, 81% of Republicans think the feds have too much power, 65% of Independents and 38% of Democrats. It would appear that Democrats became perfectly ok with the power of the federal government once Obama took office.

However, I have to ask the same question posed by the PJ Tatler … How does an electorate keep voting for the same government that they deem too powerful? If so many Republicans feel that they despise the size of government has gotten under Obama, then vote out some of your more progressive, establishment GOP candidates as well. The way to lessen the power of government is to start by taking back your own party.  A note to all America, take your country back … they are supposed to work for us!

Six in 10 Americans (60%) believe the federal government has too much power, one percentage point above the previous high recorded in September 2010. At least half of Americans since 2005 have said the government has too much power. Thirty-two percent now say the government has the right amount of power. Few say it has too little power.

This new high encompasses Republicans (81%), who are now more likely than at any time since 2002 to say the government has too much power, and Democrats (38%), who now are more likely to say this than at any time since President Barack Obama took office in 2009.

Republicans, Democrats, and independents have each grown more likely to say government is too powerful this year. However, Republicans’ and Democrats’ views have generally become more polarized since Obama took office. In 2002, the two parties were about equally likely to view the federal government as too powerful, at 36% and 35%, respectively, with independents, at 45%, most likely to say this.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME … Virginia Beach 7th Grade Student Suspended from School for Firing Toy Gun Near Bus Stop on His Own Property

WTF, So now private property means nothing in the United States … ZERO TOLERANCE, MORE LIKE ZERO COMMON SENSE!!!

A 7th grade boy and two of his friends in Virgina Beach VA have been suspended from school and could be expelled for the rest of the year because of shooting a toy gun. But this story gets better, or worse as the case may be. The children were suspended for possession, handling and use of a firearm. However, the children were playing with the “TOY” guns on private property, not school grounds, not on a school bus or not at the bus stop.  How on earth can a child be suspended from a school when playing on their own “PRIVATE” property? The school gas ZERO jurisdiction as to what one does on their own property. WHAT HAS THIS COUNTRY COME TO? Oh, and by the way, how can a child be suspended for handling and possession of a firearm, WHEN IT WAS A TOY!!!

The incident brings into play the notion of “Zero Tolerance”. However, I would dare say this incident has “ZERO” common sense. The day a school is allowed to suspend a child for playing with something legal on their own private property is the day we might as well burn the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence and declare our self a military state.

Watch the video of news story HERE.

A suspended seventh grade Virginia Beach student will find out soon if he is expelled for the rest of the year for shooting an airsoft gun.

Like thousands of others in Hampton Roads, Khalid Caraballo plays with airsoft guns. Caraballo and his friend Aidan were suspended because they shot two other friends who were with them while playing with the guns as they waited for the school bus.

The two seventh graders say they never went to the bus stop; they fired the airsoft guns while on Caraballo’s private property.

Aidan’s father, Tim Clark, told WAVY.com what happened next lacks commons sense. The children were suspended for possession, handling and use of a firearm.

Khalid’s mother, Solangel Caraballo, thinks it is ridiculous the Virginia Beach City Public School System suspended her 13-year-old son and Aidan because they were firing a spring-driven airsoft gun on the Caraballo’s posted private property.  “My son is my private property.  He does not become the school’s property until he goes to the bus stop, gets on the bus, and goes to school.”

The bus stop in question is 70 yards from the Caraballo’s front yard.

Why would anyone want to ruin a child’s life over something so stupid? Suspend a child and possible expulsion over this? Thank God I am not a kid in today’s society for my daily playing of Army with with friends back in the day would have put me at the top of the list on the Post Office wall of the “Most Wanted”.

Top IRS Official Lois Lerner Quits and Gets to Keep Her Six Figure Pension … VIDEO of Varney & Bozell Discussing No MSM Coverage of Scandals

LOIS LERNER QUITS …

The Washington Times is reporting that Lois Lerner, the IRS official at the heart of the IRS scandal that targeted conservative non-profit groups and the Tea Party has quit. Basically, Lerner read the “Tea” leaves and quit before she was fired. In the process of her voluntary departure prior to facing the fire, Lerner will get her full tax payer paid 6 figure pension. So the question remains, what does this woman have to hide and why is she willing to get out of Dodge in order to attempt to do so? Lerner has been on administrative leave for months, with pay of course.

So will “We the People” get stuck for paying this woman’s pension when most likely she should be charged criminally for her actions and abuse of power?

Lois G. Lerner, the woman at the center of the IRS tea party targeting scandal, retired from the agency Monday morning after an internal investigation found she was guilty of “neglect of duties” and was going to call for her ouster, according to congressional staff.

Her departure marks the first government official to pay a significant price in the scandal, though Republicans were quick to say her decision doesn’t put the matter to rest and pointed out that she still can be called before Congress to testify.

The Internal Revenue Service confirmed Ms. Lerner’s retirement in a statement but said it couldn’t release any more information because of privacy concerns.

Rep. Sander M. Levin of Michigan, the ranking Democrat on the HouseWays and Means Committee, said an accountability review board set up to investigate the people at the agency involved with the scandal completed their review and were set to recommend Ms. Lerner’s ouster. The review board, though, found no evidence of political bias, he said.

More from The Heritage Foundation.

Regardless of what happens to Lerner, who is entitled to a presumption of innocence, it is vital that Congress continue to investigate this matter to find out exactly what happened at the IRS. The IRS is one of the most powerful agencies in the federal government. Its bureaucrats have the ability to devastate and ruin the lives, businesses, and prosperity of every American—as well as the membership associations that form a fundamental part of our body politic and through which citizens assert their views and opinions.

We should not forget the danger posed by an out-of-control and abusive IRS. We should determine why this happened, who authorized it, and what steps need to be taken to make sure it does not happen again.

From News Busters, Stuart Varney and Brent Bozell discuss the MSM completely ignoring the IRS scandals since July and in turn providing cover for the Obama White House.

We see the revelation that IRS culprits gave themselves or got promotions. We saw the evidence that they are in fact going after the Tea Party. We saw the evidence that came out that Lois Lerner,  who plead the Fifth and who has suggested that it was the Cincinnati operatives who were responsible for this, in fact  had emails saying, don’t give it to them, give it to higher ups.

We have evidence that they were illegally obtaining donor files and then promising to destroy them while keeping them. We’ve now learned that they were going after tax-exempt organizations who mentioned ObamaCare. This is how bad it’s gotten
