Not so much squirrel as a proof-positive demonstration that these A$$hats can and shall do what they want.
Notice to all not of a "right mind" has been served.
Alinsky Rule #8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)

SeattleWeekly: Willpinit High School Redskins, over in Spokane County. Except they have no plans to change their mascot. At a school where more than 90 percent of the students are Indian - in the heart of the Spokane Reservation where author Sherman Alexie was raised – they’re sticking with Redskins. Said Tim Ames, superintendent of Wellpinit schools, this week: “I’ve talked to our students, our parents and our community about this and nobody finds any offense at all in it. ‘Redskins’ is not an insult to our kids. ‘Wagon burners’ is an insult. ‘Prairie niggers’ is an insult. Those are very upsetting to our kids. But ‘Redskins’ is an honorable name we wear with pride. … In fact, I’d like to see somebody come up here and try to change it.”

Apache, Lakota, Tomahawk, Kiowa, Flintstones, Arrowhead, anything injun needs to be renamed. Then we rename everything with Spanish names. No more of this China town stuff. Chicago Bears is an insult to animals rights moonbats...

Whatever happened to no ex=post-facto laws? Isn't this pretty much the same legally speaking,given how the 14th amendment has been so broadly applied (equal protection)?
This isn't just corruption on a massive scale, this is an extended finger at Congress and the American people. The emails are gone because they implicate Champ (or ValJar). And Champ doesn't care about the law.
By the way, the Daily Caller points out that the IRS -- of course -- requires all emails that are part of the "federal record" to be archived, both electronically and in paper, for pretty much forever.

Oh my. Did IT screw up? I think they need to go to jail until they come up with the "lost" emails. Or can dig through the logs to prove who disappeared what and when.

Bring on the Flat Tax. All withholdings sent directly to the U.S. Treasury. Pension them all off or transfer to the National Park Service. No more handling tax payers money. No more IRS scandal, no more IRS abuse !

Throw a few of the arrogant a$$holes in jail for contempt/obstruction of justice and just maybe, they will start to talk more freely and with some candor. Roll them up to the top--unless they are willing to fall on their swords for the ONE.

1) Shitcan every person involved in targeting with the 501(c)(4) groups. If it's a couple of hundred, good.
2) Strip them of their pensions.
3) Press criminal charges against supervisors, managers, directors, etc.
4) Cut their next fiscal year budget by 20%.
5) Repeal mandatory withholding from all forms of income. If Dems want to get permanent voters by bringing in illegals, we will get even more our way when people have to start mailing in quarterly estimated tax payments.

They were aware there is continuous back-up of government email and paper copies at the end of the day so they used personal accounts and aliases to conceal them. 'Richard Windsor's' accounts needs forensic IT's to follow the trail to other pseudo names, which may be quite damning to discover ValJar's secret accounts. They need archive the whole lot of them for multiple federal crimes and perjury in federal facilities pretty much forever.

Over a decade ago, I had a system running ME on a real piece of S hard drive, and it crashed.
I took it to some bum eff store in the middle of Kansas and had 90% recovery, 100% recovery on simple items and text - all of my e-mail information.
But today, if so motivated, I could receive an email from some government agency telling me the pizza I just phoned in could affect my BMI but that statistically speaking I prefer banana peppers early in the week but did not order them this time.
You call 7 Jacks. Playing with 1 deck. This is my bullshit face. Pick the cards up.
[CBSNEWS] President B.O. has been facing a barrage of criticism from Republican politicians for not pushing to leave a residual troop presence behind in Iraq after 2011, but has found a defender in Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid ... the charismatic senator-for-life from Nevada, currently majority leader ... , D-Nev.
"Those who attack President B.O. for bringing our troops home are flat wrong in criticizing him for that, and they're out of step not only with the president but with the American people," Reid told news hounds Tuesday. "After a decade of war we've all had enough. I do not support putting our men and women in harms way in Iraq."
Reid, like many Democrats, was a staunch opponent of the war. But his opposition to any American troops returning to Iraq in the coming days may land him on the opposite side of the issue from Mr. Obama. The White House is considering sending a small number of American special forces soldiers to Iraq to aid the government in Storied Baghdad as it tries to fend the advance of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), which has taken several towns and cities in the northern part of the country. Mr. Obama also notified Congress Monday afternoon that up to 275 U.S. military personnel have been deployed to Iraq to provide support and security to Americans and the U.S. Embassy in Storied Baghdad.

This slimy little weasel doesn't run until 2016. Maybe he will be neutered in 2014 if the Pubs take the Senate. What are the odds at this time that they will?
A U.S. Senate proposal tied to the NASA spending bill may thwart efforts by Elon Musk's space venture while aiding Boeing Co. (BA), the government's No. 2 contractor, a trade group president said today.
The seven-line provision would require companies seeking contracts to ferry astronauts to the International Space Station to file detailed financial reports justifying their costs. The Senate bill for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1 includes $805 million for the program. The art of Weasel wording contracts to exclude competitors is alive and well. And is the program going to produce $805 million or more in savings? Ha!
Newer contractors such as Musk's Space Exploration Technologies Corp. and Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin LLC will be at a disadvantage, Michael Lopez-Alegria, president of the Washington-based Commercial Spaceflight Federation, said in a Bloomberg Television interview. The measure would increase their costs because they would have to expand accounting staffs to do the work, he said.
The smaller companies don't have "quite the army in place to do those calculations," while Boeing is probably "best equipped" because it's so large, he said.
The space organization represents companies such as Hawthorne, California-based SpaceX and Kent, Washington-based Blue Origin. Boeing, which is also competing for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's commercial crew program, isn't a member of the federation.

Gotta wonder if the reason Boeing needs an army of accountants is so they can hide all the bribes. SpaceX might not be at such a disadvantage after all.

At least Mr. Sowers screwed up enough courage to post his viewpoint here. Did he listen to anyone but himself? Will he respond to fact based objections? Nahh.
TBF he did respond a few times. I'm not sure if they were to substantive questions however.
Quote
Shelby will not post here; his position is indefensible, and he could not make any rational line of reasoning to support the positions he is taking, and would, in an ideal instance of the universe, have to admit the false premises underlying his virtually complete track record in his long term evisceratiion our nation's HSF capabilities, not to mention a good possibility of not getting any such capability back within the next few decades.
His "rationale" can be summed up in 2 words. "Marshall" and "Decata," with a side order of Alabama U. (go "The Crimson Tide" What ???)
I'm fairly sure he less about if the rest of NASA imploded as long as they, and the centres that support them, were preserved (Yes I'm aware Decata is not a NASA facility).
Keep in mind that that is exactly in line with his responsibilities of keeping the cash flowing to his state. :(
It's what the people who employ him want.
Wheather it's in line with his responsibilities for the good of the nation as a whole is another matter. :( I thought members of Congress were meant to swear some kind of oath to support the whole nation, not just the region they were elected to represent, but my education on that side of things has been fairly minimal.
The Space Access Society are more charitable. They feel a lot of this is that members of Congress basically still see NASA though the rose tinted backvision of the mid 1960's, when every mission was an exploration missions, as so little was known the environment (both LEO and Lunar) and how well (if?) the equipment they had been issued with would function.
So if people want a more sensible space programme (and a better NASA) I guess they have to engage with their bit of Congress, find out what they think about NASA and start to (gently) correct their misconceptions ("No sir 'Armageddon' was not a dramatization of real events") about it. :(
One Senator can stop the Shelby amendments cold. It all begins with one.
[ABCNEWS.GO] Workers at the Phoenix VA Health Care System -- where Sherlocks say veterans' health was jeopardized when employees covered up long wait times for patients -- received about $10 million in bonuses, newly released records show.
Documents from the VA indicate than 2,100 employees got bonuses over the course of a three-year period, the Arizona Republic reported Tuesday.
The records, which were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, show the bonuses kept increasing. The VA paid $2.5 million in 2011, $3.5 million in 2012 and $3.9 million last year. The merit-based bonuses were doled out to nearly 650 employees each of those years. The employees included doctors, nurses, administrators, secretaries and cleaning staff.
"The VA employee recognition and awards program provides an entire range of rewards to recognize employees who make contributions that support goals and objectives across the facility," Phoenix VA spokeswoman Jean Schaefe said.
A VA inspector general's report found that 1,700 veterans seeking treatment at the Phoenix VA hospital were at risk of being "lost or forgotten" after being kept off the official waiting list.

Well, all the employees performed at 'above average' levels. Kinda life the new Consumer Finance Board. (They scrapped their employee rating system because they couldn't pass.)

And don't forget IRS bonuses. The bureaucratic culture run rampant. Been near a couple of them there cliques to know they 'expect' the bonuses as a regular part of their pay. They long ago left civil 'service' and are now just suits with the ability and power to self reward themselves. And they do.
#3
This whole country is being run by suits with the ability & power to reward themselves. Civil servants should be satisfied with their pay & should never receive bonuses. If they don't like them conditions, let them resign & seek work in the private sector. As if there was work to be had there.
[Kevin Jackson, the Blacksphere] While Congress drags its feet on immigration reform, New York state lawmakers are mulling an immigration bill of their own: It would grant state citizenship to some non-citizen immigrants, including undocumented residents, allowing them to vote and run for office. Under the "New York is Home" Act, non-citizen residents who have proof of identity and have lived and paid taxes in the state for three years, could apply for legal status that would let some qualify some for Medicaid coverage, professional licensing, tuition assistance, and driver's licenses, as well as state and local--but not federal--voting rights. The responsibilities of citizenship would also apply, including jury duty. If "New York is Home" why is everyone leaving and moving to the south ?
Because "Home" is an euphemism for "income taxes."
#2
So illegal immigration moves under the control of the bureaucracy. They'll need to hire more bureaucrats to do the investigations, verify the claims, fill out the forms, etc. More workers on the gubbamint payroll, more taxes to support them - it's a democrat's dream!

States that want to assist the feds in enforcing immigration laws run into all kinds of trouble. Even SCOTUS seems to be against States assisting in enforcing immigration laws. States and so-called sanctuary cities that don't want to not enforce immigration law get the green light to break laws. There is something seriously wrong going on in the country. It would seem the States who can show damage/harm/loss from hordes of illegals flooding across the border would have standing in the courts to bring a lawsuit against the Federal government.
Just for the record, NY was one of the last states to ratify the new Constitution and only did so at the end because they feared they'd be left out of commerce with the other states as the document prohibited taxing commerce between participating states. Been a long way from worrying about driving business out to importing ballot box stuffers, but they're there.

When the Depp South seceded from the Union, New York (the city) juggled with the idea of declaring itself independent. Howver by the time of the unprovoked Southern agression at Fort Sumter New York was already unionist.
#7
I would encourage New York to secede from the United States. That way, no more Chucky Schumer in the Senate and Hildebeast would be ineligible to run for president. All the illegal immigrants in California, Arizona and Texas could then move to their new home in New York and everybody's happy!

Spread the rumor that the WH is giving out permanent visas, big screen TVs, Obama phones, and welfare benefits. All the illegals have to do is camp out in front of the WH for their benefits. There might be chaos but on the other hand, Obummer might just give them all these things in exchange for their Donk vote.

We should just put them on the bus and send them to DC and Chicago.

Seems mean to call someone a criminal just because they did something illegal like sneaking into the country. That's seriously judgemental.
And I rather like the idea of amnesty for crimes if you can get away with it for 3 years. I see great promise for the fields of bank robbery and meth cooking.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
Cease FIRE! Cease FIRE! Pedro sez he is now ready to discuss the e-mails.
