[FREEBEACON] Former IRS ...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies... official Lois Lerner ...the former head of the IRS Exempt Unit. She is a past president of the Council on Governmental Ethics Laws and a member of the Massachussetts bar. She was held in contempt of Congress for her role in the IRS targeting of regime political enemies and refusing to testify. The dog ate her computer's hard drive with all her emails on it... received $129,300 in bonuses between 2010 and 2013, records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act show. You can keep the money, just don't come back.
Over a three-year period, Lerner, the head of the tax-exempt division at the heart of the IRS targeting scandal, received a 25 percent retention bonus--averaging $43,000 a year--on top of her regular salary.
The federal government uses retention bonuses to incentivize valuable employees who are considering retirement or private sector jobs to stay at their agencies.
Former acting IRS commissioner Steven T. Miller recommended Lerner for a $42,000 retention bonus in December 2009, when she first became eligible for retirement.

Earned every bit of it suppressing the Tea Party activist for the 2012 election. Did the Inner Party well. Not quite 10 pieces of silver, but actually peanuts for what she achieved in keeping the power and the Treasury (the source of all patronage) in the party's hands.

Guilt is only for the non-Left. They sell it like the old Catholic Church sold indulgences (Martin Luther to the courtesy phone). Power is self rationalizing.
[BREITBART] The White House reacted to reports today that it snubbed Latino Representative Carlos Curbelo (R-FL) by turning down his request to travel to Miami on Air Force One for the president's town hall speech. It's all those diet restrictions. They just can't accommodate them all.
"In this case we were unable to accommodate the Congressman's request," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest explained to members of the press on Air Force One. "But we typically try to do so when we can." They can't keep tacos fresh in the First Refrigerator...
Earnest referred to the White House "standard practice" to invite the member of congress from the district when traveling to another part of the country. That member was Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL), a representative of a district including Miami Gardens, a suburb of Miami. All Latinos eat that sort of stuff, y'know?
Curbelo was invited to the event, according to the Miami Herald, but could not attend. ...and then they drink too much tequila and get drunk and do hat dances, and how much space for that is to be found on The First Airplane?...
"They said, 'Sorry, there's no space on the plane for you,'" Curbelo told the Miami Herald, referring to the White House. For that matter, where's the room for those big-assed hats they wear!
The president traditionally takes a few members of Congress any time he travels, and the cabin features seating specifically for their use. Traditionally, the president spends some time in the cabin speaking to members who join him for travel around the country. He'd have probably wanted to take his wife and his dozen or so kids with him...
According to the White House, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,'s Latino Democrat Rep. Linda Sanchez, a champion for immigration reform, did get permission to travel with Wilson to Florida for the town hall event.

[WASHINGTONPOST] The Clinton Foundation accepted millions of dollars from seven foreign governments during Hillary Rodham Clinton ... sometimes described as The Heroine of Tuzla and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Elihu Root ... 's tenure as secretary of state, including one donation that violated its ethics agreement with the B.O. regime, foundation officials disclosed Wednesday.
Most of the contributions were possible because of exceptions written into the foundation's 2008 agreement, which included limits on foreign-government donations.
The agreement, reached before Clinton's nomination amid concerns that countries could use foundation donations to gain favor with a Clinton-led State Department, allowed governments that had previously donated money to continue making contributions at similar levels.

If you're in need of an international wealth and power building scheme with maximum tax advantages, consider a Foundation.

Contempt is a disregard or disobedience of public authority. As
applied to injunctions, criminal contempt is wilful disobedience of the
courts' decree, thus resulting in a disregard for the courts' authority.
Criminal contempt in the federal courts has to some extent been limited.
both substantively and procedurally, by statute; but for the most part,
the common law rules still prevail.' Formulation of general rules determining
the evidentiary requirements for criminal contempt is difficult
because the violation is defined largely by the terms of the specific injunction.
For example, a guard accused of mishandling a federal prisoner
in a county jail could not be convicted of criminal contempt because this
conduct was not embodied in a decree.8 But where there was a court
order committing a prisoner into the custody of a sheriff to be held safe
until the expiration of his sentence, his conduct in allowing a prisoner to
go free was criminal contempt.' Thus it is seen that an injunction is
analogous to a criminal statute. Conduct not forbidden cannot be criminal
contempt. But, like statutes, injunctions frequently must be phrased
in general terms to be effective and therefore require subsequent judicial
interpretation to ascertain what they prohibit."

AFAIK the US Constitution does NOT recognize Partial, Semi-, or Quasi-US Citizens + Permanent Residents - ITS EITHER THEY ARE, OR THEY ARE NOT.
EITHER DEPORT THEM ASAP, EN MASSE' IFF NEED BE, OR ELSE STOP P ******** WUSSYING AROUND + MAKE THEM DE FACTO CITIZENS-RESIDENTS.
WHY? BECAUSE THE FEDS ARE BREAKING CONSTITUTIONAL + FEDERAL LAWS IFF THEY DON'T, WHICH THEY ARE NOT TO BE DOING.
Many Years or Decades of Pervasive or Perennial PCorrectness-Deniabilty has affected the Fed so much I won't be surprised iff they don't know the difference between right or wrong, up versus down, etc. anymore.
[Daily Caller] NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. -- A spokeswoman for Home Depot founder Ken Langone told The Daily Caller on Wednesday that Langone "is not hosting any fundraisers for Governor Christie at this time."
Langone, known as one of Governor Christie's biggest Republican donors, talked up the Jersey GOP'er as the best bet for 2016 Republican nominee to his wealthy friends just one month ago. However, since former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker entered the potential 2016 spotlight, Christie's political stock appears to be going down. One particular Christie donor who now appears to be supporting Bush is Johnson & Johnson heir and New York Jets owner Woody Johnson. Johnson attended fundraising event in Chicago for Bush's political committees recently. I'm very sorry sir, we're only accepting deposits today.
[NATIONALREVIEW] Two prominent House committee chairs are “deeply disappointed” in Federal Communications Commission chairman Tom Wheeler for refusing to testify before Congress as “the future of the Internet is at stake.”
Wheeler’s refusal to go before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday comes on the eve of the FCC’s vote on new Internet regulations pertaining to net neutrality.
The committee’s chairman, Representative Jason Chaffetz (R., Utah), and Energy and Commerce Committee chairman Fred Upton (R., Mich.) criticized Wheeler and the administration for lacking transparency on the issue.
“So long as the chairman continues to insist on secrecy, we will continue calling for more transparency and accountability at the commission,” Chaffetz and Upton said in a statement.
“Chairman Wheeler and the FCC are not above Congress.” The vote on the new Internet regulations is scheduled for Thursday. Who needs a Congress? The regime accomplishes it's goals through regulatory fiat.
The FCC’s two Republican commissioners have asked Wheeler to delay the vote to allow more time for review.
The changes would allow the commission to regulate the Internet like a public utility, setting new standards that require the provision of equal access to all online content.

The cable companies and free markets vs. Soros and government control?
[TPM] Secretary of State John Kerry on Wednesday slammed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's opposition to a potential nuclear deal with Iran, calling it as wrongheaded as the prime minister's backing of the Iraq War.
"Israel is safer today with the added time we have given and the stoppage of the advances in the nuclear program than they were before we got that agreement, which by the way the prime minister opposed," Kerry said during a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing. "He was wrong."
Kerry was later asked to address Netanyahu's criticism of a hypothetical deal with Iran as a threat to Israel. Interesting, in light of the fact Netanyahu was NOT the prime minister of Israel at the time of the Gulf War, and 'then' Senator Kerry voted in support of the invasion.

But I'm confounded by the acquisition of Russian technical contracts, thousands of centrifuges, and ballistic missiles. I'm sure there's an obvious answer. Someone, please help me understand the obvious.
