You don't have a right to know

......boy, oh boy.....there is more.....

That is what was said during a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing.

Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton, the congressional delegate from the District of Columbia, had a rather angry message for the American people that Obama’s White House should not be held up to Congressional scrutiny. She said there’s “no right to know” what Barack Obama is doing behind closed doors.

“You don’t have a right to know everything in a separation-of-powers government, my friend. That is the difference between a parliamentary government and a separation-of-powers government,” Norton said.
Flying in the face of liberal democratic notions of openness and transparency – especially with a presidency that claims to be “open and transparent,” she argued the very committee charged with oversight shouldn’t be asking questions.
She made the comments while protesting the committee’s Republican majority for voting to ignore a claim by the White House that David Simas, director of it’s Office of Political Strategy and Outreach, was immune to a congressional subpoena to testify. Republicans believe the office is being used a political campaign operation, a violation of federal election law.
The White House’s use of executive powers has enabled it to ignore practically every congressional inquiry – lying, refusing to answer congressional inquiries and ignoring subpoenas.
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Maryland), gave a “me too” to Norton’s comments, thanking her and making it perfectly clear that we don’t have the right to know what’s going on in the White House.

Need we have to remind these people that WE pay their salaries and have EVERY right to know????
We are well past the expiration date on all these "folks".

Begging for treats

It is what I do. It is what I do well. My humans can't resist my charm when it comes me begging for treats. Have I mentioned before how much I LOVE my treats?

Michelle Obama must be reading my blog. Her 20 minute speech in Chicago included plenty of begging! For money of course.....

(taken from her speech)
"… write a big, fat check. I kid you not. I’m going to be honest with you, that’s what we need you to do right now. We need you to write the biggest, fattest check that you can possibly write."

"Writing those checks is the single most impactful thing that you can do right now. When you dig deep, when you max out, that translates into staff hired and offices opened and ads running where they need to run."

"I want to be really clear with my friends: If you think folks who work 40 or 50 hours a week shouldn’t have to live in poverty in the wealthiest nation on earth, if you believe in science and you care about the planet that you’re leaving for your kids and grandkids, if you don’t want women’s bosses making decisions about their birth control, if you want your kids to have quality preschool and the college education they need to fulfill every last bit of their God-given potential, then you need to step up."

Well....let ME make it clear to Moochelle.....give us back OUR money from all the luxury vacations you have taken and there may be a sucker who may consider your request!

Pet Insurance

These days it seems like there are insurance options for just about anything, including pets. I love the thought that my humans would not be burdened in case of an emergency, but my humans are not so sure about the benefit.

What do you think about the latest addition to the market? Let's hope the Florida sun has not fried the brains of the execs at this company:

Alien abduction insurance

Date: July 11th, 2014

The very first company to offer UFO abduction insurance was the St. Lawrence Agency in Altamonte Springs, Florida.

The company says that it has paid out at least two claims. The company pays the claimant $1 per year until their death or for 1 million years, whichever comes first.

Over 20,000 people have purchased the insurance. The insurance is normally purchased by the “feeble-minded”, according to a former Lloyd’s of London underwriter.

Prominent policyholders have included Shirley MacLaine and a Harvard University professor who has written on aliens.

My face, your face

My face tells everyone that I am cute and sweet. The worst thing I can do is lick you to death.
What does your face say about you?

Well, meet Cecily! Her face and attitude are unbelievable!

Cecily McMillan is the face of leftist America.
Angry, violent and narcissistic, the New York “activist” was arrested again for making death threats against two NYPD officers trying to apprehend turnstile jumpers.
After being taken into custody, the New York Post reports McMillan hissed: “You don’t know who I am! Wait until you figure it out! You probably don’t have kids or a wife, but if you do, I’ll kill them!”
What a sweetie.
After being held in custody for a few hours, she complained that she was wearing a “botanist dress” (whatever that is) and demanded a change of clothing.
“This is a cocktail dress to be worn only standing up maximum four hours! I had three to four people that helped me get into this dress. The NYPD, you must supply me with clothing!”

Pleasant, isn’t she?
During the recent scuffle, she told the turnstile-jumpers: “You don’t have to talk to them. Don’t pay any attention to them. They did not identify themselves. I know the law. I’m a lawyer. Don’t cooperate with them.”
Cecily McMillan is not a lawyer.
She had already been convicted in 2012 for punching an officer and spent two months in Rikers Island. After her release, she’s become a cause célèbre for liberals who find it necessary to make a name for themselves.
A “New School” Graduate, McMillan also participated in the anti-Gov. Scott Walker protests in Wisconsin and is a proud member of the Democratic Socialists of America.
Isn’t she something? Guys: I hear she’s single!

About now.....all Americans need a break from Obama......we just need to find a border fence....

FEDS TO OPEN $50 MILLION RESORT FOR ILLEGAL CHILDREN  !!!!!!!!
(The Gateway Pundit) July 16th, 2014

Washington DC – The Obama administration has awarded a $50 million contract to a charitable group to buy a Texas resort hotel and transform it in to a 600 bed facility for juvenile illegal aliens.

The Palm Aire Hotel and Suites is set to be sold to Baptist Child & Family Services (BCFS) operating under a federal contract, pending local government approval, according to reports from Weslaco, Texas where the hotel is located. Weslaco is a few miles north of the Rio Grande in Hidalgo County.

The Palm Aire Hotel and Suites currently advertises amenities such as two outdoor swimming pools—one Olympic sized—Jacuzzis, sauna, steam room, two racquetball courts, outdoor tennis courts, picnic area with grills and a fitness center with twenty machines and free weights.

The resort hotel for illegal alien children is reportedly the ‘first in the nation’.

The Palm Aire includes tennis courts, a laundromat and a snack bar.

The plan is to have the hotel ready for illegal alien children ages 12 to 17 by October 1st of this year, a mere two-and-half months from now. It is expected the average stay will be about fifteen days.

The Palm Aire Hotel and Suites currently advertises amenities such as two outdoor swimming pools—one Olympic sized—Jacuzzis, sauna, steam room, two racquetball courts, outdoor tennis courts, picnic area with grills and a fitness center with twenty machines and free weights.

A luxurious fitness center is on site at the Weslaco Palm Aire Hotel and Suites. Guests can also wind down in the sauna after a long trip.

Attracted to the space for outdoor recreation at the Palm Aire Hotel and Suites, BCFS spoke of building a soccer field at the hotel and adding a perimeter fence.

BCFS plans to employ 650 people at the Palm Aire Hotel and Suites, which would mean slightly over one worker per illegal alien child. According to the BCSF Website, the charity’s jobs pay from $10 to $45 per hour.

KRGV-TV quoted a BCFS spokeswoman about the purpose of buying the Palm Aire Hotel and Suites:

“It’s going to be an intake facility, which serves as a lot like a hospital emergency room,” Krista Piferrer, BCFS VP External Affairs said.

“”We’ve all seen the photos and the videos of children in crowded Border Patrol facilities. What this site is going to allow to happen is quickly move those children out of Border Patrol cells and triage them,” Piferrer said.”

BCFS plans for the facility to be “completely self-contained” with Piferrer telling KRGV-TV, ‘medical staff will be on hand so children with diseases or injuries will not be transferred to local hospitals.’

Piferrer told the Valley Morning Star the Palm Aire Hotel and Suites facility would ‘(provide) medical and mental health care, on-site educational programs, recreational programs and case management.’

According to a Hidalgo County commissioner, the BCFS contract for the Palm Aire Hotel and Suites is an annual one worth $50 million per year. It is not part of the $3.7 billion emergency funding for the illegal alien invasion requested by the Obama administration as the bill hasn’t yet passed but it is a good indication of where the money will go.

(Update: the BCFS may have changed their mind about this purchase, but I bet not about taking the money and using it elsewhere!)

Will our inept government ever learn to check what it is doing?

US sends 14,000 draft notices to men born in 1800s

July 11th, 2014

Washington DC – No, the United States isn’t trying to build a military force of centenarians.

It just seems that way after the Selective Service System mistakenly sent notices to more than 14,000 Pennsylvania men born between 1893 and 1897, ordering them to register for the nation’s military draft and warning that failure to do so is “punishable by a fine and imprisonment.”

The agency realized the error when it began receiving calls from bewildered relatives last week.

Chuck Huey, 73, of Kingston, said he got a notice addressed to his late grandfather Bert Huey, a World War I veteran who was born in 1894 and died in 1995 at age 100.

How many crashes can one dog have?

I think of a crash as a nap. It is something I do quite often, which is normal for a dog. What is NOT normal is the crash crap going on around our supreme leader.

Shockingly, yet another hard drive crashed just as Congress was about to investigate a federal agency.

Some coincidence, eh?

The hard drive used by a former Federal Elections attorney who admitted to campaigning for President Obama’s re-election while on the job has been destroyed after the House oversight committee indicated they’d want to take a look at it.

“The FEC’s failure to retain Ms. [April] Sands’ hard drive prevented the FEC (Office of Inspector General) from fully pursuing appropriate criminal sanctions for Ms. Sands’ admitted violations of federal law,” said a letter Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) wrote on Monday with House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa.

“Like the IRS’ destruction of Lois Lerner’s hard drive, the FEC’s recycling of Ms. Sands’ hard drive may have also destroyed material responsive to Freedom of Information Act and congressional oversight requests,” it continued before demanding documents and a congressional briefing from FEC by July 28.

I am secure

I live in a house and have a yard to play in. The house has doors and windows I cannot reach or breach. The yard has a fence that I cannot get through, over or under. Is that so hard? My humans want to keep me safe inside and don't want anyone to get in. Seems logical doesn't it?

Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) apparently hasn’t heard about all those people crossing the border this year. Either that or he was referring to some other country during recent comments on border security.

After commenting on recent legislation from Representative Henry Cuellar (D-TX) and Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), Reid suggested there are no security issues at the border.

“I believe our number one concern should be this narrow issue of how we take care of this situation we have on the border,” he said. “As I’ve been told, the Cornyn-Cuellar legislation covers a lot of other issues other than the problem we’re having on the border. Had we done comprehensive immigration reform, we wouldn’t be having this issue. And everyone here, the border is secure. “

Is he serious?

An estimated 60,000 illegal immigrant children are expected to enter the United States in 2014. That’s 10 times the amount that did so in 2011.

Photo ops

Obama won't go to the border to view the crisis first hand.....says he is not interested in photo ops. However, what he did while in Texas last week was all about photo ops. Now the White House says there is some value in photo ops.

Easy to say after the fact. Easy to say after you once again have shown your true colors.

Here's a photo op for you! The difference is I am cute, provided all my registration papers prior to being invited into this great home and LOVE my country!

 

I love myself THIS much!

I, me, myself.....I love me. I love myself. Let me tell you how much I love myself!

That is the same tone heard last week when the narcissist-in-chief spoke in Austin.

Not counting instances when he quoted a letter from a citizen or cited dialogue from a movie, President Barack Obama used the first person singular--including the pronouns "I" and "me" and the adjective "my"--199 times in a speech he delivered Thursday vowing to use unilateral executive action to achieve his policy goals that Congress would not enact through the normal, constitutional legislative process.
“It is lonely, me just doing stuff,” Obama said at the speech in Austin, Texas, according to the official transcript and video posted on the White House website.
“I’m just telling the truth now,” Obama told the crowd. “I don't have to run for office again, so I can just let her rip. And I want to assure you, I’m really not that partisan of a guy.”

Oh really? I would never have guessed you were a narcissist.

Feeling the wind through my hair

I love riding on my motorcycle; feeling the wind through my hair (fur). As with any biking enthusiast, owning a Harley-Davidson bike shows you made it.

However, news this weekend should make every bike owner, and American, disgusted at the mere mention of the name Harley-Davidson from now on. Their tag line is An American Legend.

Well, not so much anymore.....

Harley-Davidson is using the H-1B guest worker visa program to REPLACE American workers for those from Asia and India at a lower wage. The purpose of the program is to allow foreigners special access to America if they can fill jobs that no American is capable of or willing to do. A recently laid off tech support worker is suing Harley-Davidson after she was laid off for a replacement from India. You go girl!

To be fair (as fair as I can through my outrage), other companies have been doing the same thing without consequence.

So, I guess if you want your job, you really can't keep it either!

Chase Bank not so friendly

The banking behemoth J.P. Morgan Chase is bullying its employees into declaring themselves gay friendly.
In their annual worker and management-satisfaction survey, one new question raised alarm bells for employees. It asks workers to check one or more of the following that apply:

Are you:
1. A person with disabilities
2. A person with children with disabilities
3. A person with a spouse/domestic partner with disabilities
4. A member of the LGBT community
5. An ally of the LGBT community, but not personally identifying as LGBT.

Since the surveys require employees to enter their employee ID number, one worker was concerned that answering “no” would endanger his job and open him up to criticism.
Just a few months ago, the CEO of Mozilla was hounded out of his post for not being fully supportive of the LGBT cause.
One worker told Princeton Professor Robert George he fears for his job:

This survey wasn’t anonymous. You had to enter your employee ID. With the way things are going and the fact that LGBT rights are being viewed as pretty much tantamount to the civil rights movement of the mid 50s to late 60s, not selecting that option is essentially saying “I’m not an ally of civil rights;” which is a vague way to say “I’m a bigot.” The worry among many of us is that those who didn’t select that poorly placed, irrelevant option will be placed on the “you can fire these people first” list.

Breitbart contacted J.P. Morgan Chase, who said they didn’t comment on “internal surveys.”

I love Texans

Who wants to be a millionaire?

Forget answering a bunch of random trivia questions, all you have to do is uncover the lost IRS e-mails to and from former official Lois Lerner.

Two Republican congressmen are so angry about the missing IRS e-mails that they think the U.S. government should offer a hefty reward to anyone who finds them – a $1 million reward.

Reps. Bill Flores (R-Tex.) and Louie Gohmert (R-Tex.) introduced legislation Wednesday to offer such a prize.  A lesser sum, $500,000, would go to anyone who figures out if specific agency officials were involved in purposely destroying the e-mails.

Now, these are very conservative lawmakers, so they’re not about to just give away federal dollars. So where would the money come from, you ask? The IRS budget. Oh, and until the e-mails are found, all IRS employee salaries would be cut by 20 percent.
