[Townhall] Signals intercept expert President Champ is expected to attempt to restrict the National Security Agency's access to phone records as early as next week. "We have our ways There are ways we can do it, potentially, that gives people greater assurance that there are checks and balances that there's sufficient oversight and sufficient transparency," Champ said Dec. 20. Allies? I wasn't aware we still had any allies.

If she [Bosserman] isn't removed, as Issa is requesting, then the public will have further confirmation that this president can never be believed.
"Further proof" is actually not required. Tax collectors have been subject of suspect as well as contempt since the days of Moses. Permitting the IRS to become political operatives is simply the logical next step for a Chicago thug.
[Breitbart] On the floor of the House of Representatives on Wednesday, Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee (R-TX) proposed a change to the lexicon when it comes to what is currently called "welfare."
Partial transcript as follows:
REP. SHEILA JACKSON LEE (D-TX): So the safety net has to be something for all of us. And as I borrow this from my good friend from California, just to show you a line of Americans possibly looking for work, we cannot point out and we cannot know at this point which one of these are near the edge of poverty or living in poverty simply because they cannot find work.
So, it is important to note that there are elements that many discard, the earned income tax credit, supplemental nutrition program, the huge job training and educational investment that President Johnson made on the war on poverty. Medicare and Medicaid. Huge safety nets, not handouts, but safety nets. Maybe the word welfare should be changed to something of a transitional living fund. For that is what it is, for people to be able to live. Fine with me, as long as the "transition" lasts no longer than six months. Anything beyond that becomes......welfare.
How can it be "transitional" when a lot of those people were born into it, thanks to idiots like you?
Welfare/public support should be for people who truly can't help themselves, with perhaps a 6-month stint available for those who temporarily fall on hard times, such as a serious injury or serious illness during which they lose their jobs.
The rest of them can get off their dead asses and WORK, even if it's just cleaning the streets. I'm sick of working my ass off to support people who won't work even when there are jobs available.
Dipshit.

They really did read 1984 as a how-to didn't they.

I'm all for Sheila Jackson Lee's proposal as long as the Transitional Living Fund means ALL these people on "welfare" transition themselves out of the USA, renounce their citizenship, and emigrate to Norway.
I think the TLF'ers will take the deal, why because it strikes to the heart of their goals, Show me the money
Go to Norway, TLF'ers, find your fortune, come on now get going, and take Sheila with you.

Sheila, any way you cut it you are taking someone else's hard-earned money and giving it to someone who doesn't want to work. How about we agree to call it "Leeching off others" instead of transitional living fund? By the way, would you consider transitioning out of politics because you are just too dumb to serve.

Personally I don't think the Federal Government has any business in the Welfare business (nor the 'Unemployment Insurance' and 'Education' business) but those functions should be done at the state level. That way the people have a lot more local control over it. (And the Feds can no longer hold it over the people's heads - which is precisely why this is being done at the Federal level).

Agreed, that control of education should go back to local control. And as it is best stated to the family. College education should also go back to being affordable.
A good rule of thumb is that tuition rates will increase at about twice the general inflation rate. Why is education so pricey? There is a professional elitist class of overpaid administrators who manage universities. Seldom do these professional administrators come from the academic ranks of a university. They may be academics but they usually come from other universities--they are basically job hoppers much like university football coaches. Universities seem to be bound by federal mandates. To obtain federal money, they must adhere to all the federal legistation: EPA, OSHA, DOD, DOE, EEO, diversity requirements, etc. All this drives up the cost of education tremendously. It also puts the student and perhaps his/her family in debt for decades to come. Universities have changed from being a path upwards to one of being affordable by only the rich or the indebted. One of the few exceptions to this model is Hillsdale College--they have managed to minimize the federal load. Some young people have re-thought higher education and elected to do other things. Why not, jobs are non-existent or extremely hard to get even with a college education?

Houston. Inner city Houston. Same place where the NAAACCPP was polling voters at a voter station and pushing Obama voters ahead of non-Obama voters and handing them freebies, too. And when a poll-watcher called the people in charge that day, the poll-watcher was told to stand down.
Lawlessness. Somebody needs to get a backbone and incarcerate these cockroaches.
[NEWS.INVESTORS] One of Abu-Jamal's champions has been Debo Adegbile, President B.O.'s nominee to be assistant attorney general for the civil rights division at the Department of Justice (DOJ) to replace another radical, Tom Perez, who is now secretary of labor.
Perez, a leading La Raza advocate and opponent of Voter ID laws, was heavily involved in the dropping by DOJ of the voter intimidation case involving the New Black Panthers at a Philadelphia polling place in 2008.
Adegbile formerly held a leadership position at the Legal Defense and Education Fund (LDF) of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
During Adegbile's leadership at the NAACP, Judicial Watch reports, he volunteered its services to represent Abu-Jamal, interestingly also a member of the Black Panthers.
Adegbile is a staunch supporter of affirmative action who opposes criminal-background checks by employers and advocates extreme racial-hiring quotas.
He has said he wants U.S. judges to ensure that "customary international law" is "the law of the land."
According to World Net Daily, he also was party to an effort funded by billionaire George Soros to push for a new, "progressive" U.S. Constitution.
Appearing Wednesday on Fox News' "The Kelly File," Maureen Faulkner said that Obama's nomination of such a person to a top position at the Justice Department "is like spitting on all our officers and our federal agents throughout America." Indeed it is.
Former DOJ official J. Christian Adams, who quit over the New Black Panther travesty, told Megyn Kelly Wednesday that "to defend a cop killer -- by choice -- should disqualify you from a position at the Justice Department."
Apparently not in the Justice Department of President B.O. and Attorney General Eric Inaction Jackson Holder ... aka Mister Fast and Furious... .
