A Nod To The Gods

Kathleen Sebelius, the health and human services secretary, is resigning, ending a stormy five-year tenure marred by the disastrous rollout of President Obama’s signature legislative achievement, the Affordable Care Act.

If it works like everything else in this scandal riddled regime, she has a cushy consulting job, or a golden parachute that would make Bill Gates blush. Stay tuned.

Colorado is reaping the whirlwind for electing liberals to public office. Now they want to hire illegal alien criminals paid for with your tax dollars for teaching positions. What in the hell is going on in this world?

Denver Public Schools administrators believe they are the first school district in the nation to actively seek out people who were initially brought to the United States illegally to now teach in the classroom.

“We look forward to increasing the number of great teachers who are in our classrooms and who are also role models for children who have similar cultural backgrounds and life experiences,” Tom Boasberg, superintendent of Denver Public Schools, said. DPS is working with Teach for America to bring people with an official status of “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” as determined by the federal government. Part of the requirements for DACA status is that a person must have been brought to the United States under the age of 16 and have a clean criminal record.

Teach for America is a program which brings people of different backgrounds and experiences into the classroom to enhance learning. They are not licensed teachers.

But, Denver has a significant population of students who are undocumented, and Boasberg believes this effort will help serve those families.

Lois Lerner tries to get spot at OFA, Obamas puppet regime.

While ordering Cincinnati to reject and audit Crossroads GPS, Lerner fast-tracked OFA and hoped they would HIRE HER.

Mike Morrell, the State Department head who changed Benghazi talking points, is working for Hillary Clinton consulting firm after resignation. Give me a break.

“It was Mike Morrell that rewrote the talking points, he said in an effort to appease everybody that sat around the table meaning all the different agencies and the national security staff,” Burr said, referencing a meeting on Sept. 15, 2012, where the talking points were finalized. 

Also at issue is the Beltway’s revolving door. After retiring from the CIA, Morell joined Beacon Global Strategies, on Washington’s L Street. Two of four managing directors and founders — Philippe Reines and Andrew Shapiro — worked directly for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the State Department. Another managing director and founder, Jeremy Bash, worked for Leon Panettta at the CIA and Defense Department. 

The fourth managing director and founder, Michael Allen, was the majority staff director at the House Intelligence Committee where Morell will testify for a third time next week — this time in public. Some political analysts say the bottom line is that Allen is now working with the people he once investigated. here

I’m from Utah. This should not be a thing.

From what I hear the alumni are up in arms about this. Unfortunately, now that they are tied to the “Hyper Liberal” PAC 12, I can see them caving to the pressure. This hag is why academia is failing miserably…..teach…..don’t bitch!

The University of Utah (U of U) is “seriously” considering changing its 110-year-old fight song over concerns that the title “Utah Man” is sexist and the phrase “our coeds are the fairest” is racist.

The school’s student government voted unanimously to change the song in March, and the proposal will go before the school’s diversity committee and the academic senate before being sent to the board of trustees for a vote.

One of the recommended changes is to change “Utah Man” to “Utah Fan.”

Professor Joanna Yaffe said she sees not only sexism in the song but also racism — explaining that a line which states that the school’s “coeds are the fairest” could be interpreted as a reference to skin color.

“I don’t think I’m being hyper-PC, I’m just thinking about not really being included in the song,” Yaffe, an adjunct professor of psychiatry, said in an interview with The Salt Lake Tribune.

Cummings is a scumbag politician just like all of the democrats and especially the black caucus dems. He is on the oversight committee that grilled True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht and called her a liar and a racist. If it is true that Cummings is the person in who contacted the IRS about delaying their 504c, he should be removed from the committee at once, and criminal charges should be forthcoming.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., has accused the panel’s top Democrat of prompting the Internal Revenue Service in 2012 to target a conservative organization applying for nonprofit status. Issa said records obtained last week from the IRS show communications from the office of ranking member Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., about True the Vote, a Texas-based, nonprofit conservative group that aims to prevent voter fraud.

The communications at one point involved Lois Lerner, the ex-IRS official who Issa’s panel is poised to hold in contempt of Congress on Thursday for refusing to provide testimony about her involvement in targeting conservative groups. “The IRS and the Oversight Minority made numerous requests for virtually identical information from True the Vote, raising concerns that the IRS improperly shared protected taxpayer information with Rep. Cummings’ staff,” a statement from the Oversight panel reads.

Issa said Cummings and his office asked for more information in January 2013 about True the Vote, this time getting Lerner involved. At one point, an email revealed, Lerner asked her deputy, “Did we find anything?” When the deputy said she had not received any new information, Lerner responded, “thanks – check tomorrow please.”

Issa said Cummings had previously denied asking the IRS about True the Vote.

Just a reminder of what True The Vote is saying about the IRS and Cummings.

Scary to think that this could end very badly for the rancher, with the desert tortoise is being terrorized by these viscous cattle, you can see why the feds could be a bit trigger happy. And my personal opinion is, he was there first and the turtles will survive.

Armed federal agents deployed last week to northeast Clark County, Nev., for what can only be described as a major escalation in a decades-long standoff between a local cattle rancher and the U.S. government.

Cliven Bundy, the last remaining rancher in the southern Nevada county, stands in defiance of a 2013 court order demanding that he remove his cattle from public land managed by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management.

The 67-year-old veteran rancher, who has compared the situation to similar confrontations with government officials in Ruby Ridge and Waco, Texas, told TheBlaze that his family has used land in the 600,000-acre Gold Butte area since the late 1800s.

“I have raised cattle on that land, which is public land for the people of Clark County, all my life. Why I raise cattle there and why I can raise cattle there is because I have preemptive rights,” he said, explaining that among them is the right to forage.

“Who is the trespasser here? Who is the trespasser on this land? Is the United States trespassing on Clark County, Nevada, land? Or is it Cliven Bundy who is trespassing on Clark County, Nevada, land? Who’s the trespasser?”

“Cattle have been in trespass on public lands in southern Nevada for more than two decades. This is unfair to the thousands of other ranchers who graze livestock in compliance with federal laws and regulations throughout the West,” the Bureau of Land Management stated on its website about the case.

“The Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service have made repeated attempts to resolve this matter administratively and judicially. An impoundment of cattle illegally grazing on public lands is now being conducted as a last resort,” it added. Federal employees and contractors have so far impounded approximately 234 of Bundy’s estimated 900 “trespass cattle.”

The Bureau of Land Management has “overstepped its boundaries by not letting me access my rights, not recognizing state’s sovereignty, and having over 200 armed officers watching our every move and stealing our cattle,” Bundy said.

The rancher’s wife, Carol, said there now appear to be snipers stationed around the family’s 150-acre ranch. Asked about the Bundys’ sniper claim, Cannon would neither confirm nor deny the allegation.
