Conviction and Removal from office.

Netanyahu won re-election – stronger than before

Obama exposed for funding & staffing opposition to Netanyahu’s election

A majority of Senators oppose Iran Deal (59)

360 Members of the House signed an Iran Nuclear Deal opposition letter to Obama.

House Republicans have a Super Majority (290) against the Iran Deal.

Defiant FOIA rules // Executive Privilege will backfire

Obama terminated Hagel as Sec. of Defense. Now on 4th in 6 years.

Pentagon Spokesman, Adm. John Kirby, stepped down.

Dan Pfeiffer & Jennifer Palmieri of WH staff stepped down.

FDA Commissioner, Margaret Hamburg stepped down.

Obama has antagonized the Courts over Amnesty

Court Injunction against implementation of Exec. Amnesty

ObamaCare is in the Supreme Court

Big Labor and Obama at odds.

Big Business opposes Net Neutrality

Obama will have to go up against Constitutional Attorney, Jonathan Turley.

Congress reining in the EPA and its secret science.

Judicial Watch indicates there are 18 FOIA lawsuits against the White House

26 States have entered a joint lawsuit against Obama’s Executive Amnesty.

Hillary lackluster campaign, credibility gap, possible criminal proceedings.

No good backup Dem Candidates for 2016

Harry Reid no longer Majority Leader, after injury.

Cheney’s scathing interview

Valerie Jarrett’s role in Iran Deal still unchallenged.

Congressional Budget cuts $5.5 Trillion

Sequester is an Obama “unforced error”

Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act

Obama has angered the Jews, Catholics, the Armed Services, the Small Business

Community, some Blacks, and any number of folks who have lost their healthcare or

receive less service at greater expense.

The more we squeeze Obama – the more he complains.

The “front” is building. “Clouds” are piling up and the “forces of nature” are

at work. Tornadic events are coming.

Obama ******************>>>

OMG!

Always remember: The president is personally liable for his cabinet and other administrative staff under the “High Crimes & Misdemeanors” clause. If Obama knew of the private email address and did nothing about it – he is culpable along with Hillary.

[Israel] Top Obama official [Denis McDonough] to address Israel group opposing Netanyahu (There is a message in Obama’s opposition to Netanyahu. Try to guess it.) http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/03/19/top-obama-official-to-address-israel-group-opposing-netanyahu/

[Israel] Obama bid to beat Bibi backfires http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/03/18/obama-bid-to-beat-bibi-backfires/

[Iran] Obama Subverts Constitution to Achieve Iran Deal Obama is hell-bent on kowtowing to Iran. And he’ll subvert the Constitution to do it. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/03/16/obama-subverts-constitution-to-achieve-iran-deal/

[Iran] Obama ready to enlist foreign aid against America's representatives Reuters reported last week that major world powers led by the Obama administration "have begun talks about a United Nations Security Council resolution to lift U.N. sanctions on Iran if a nuclear agreement is struck with Tehran, a step that could make it harder for the U.S. Congress to undo a deal." This has now been confirmed by the White House. (Whose side is Obama on, anyway? This is willful intent to undermine Senate’s authority. Arguably unconstitutional)

[Iran] US Annual Threats Assessment Removes Iran from Terror Threats List (Don’t tell me Obama didn’t have a hand in this maneuver. Quid pro quo)

The U.S. intelligence community’s Worldwide Threat Assessment removed Iran and its proxy Hezbollah from the list of terror threats to the United States. http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2015/03/16/us-annual-threats-assessment-removes-iran-from-terror-threats-list/

[Iran] Democrats prepared to buck White House on Iran nuclear deal http://www.politico.com/story/2015/03/democrats-prepared-to-buck-white-house-on-iran-nuclear-deal-116088.html

[Iran] It’s Clear Tom Cotton Won His Battle with Obama Even Politico, a reliably leftist media outlet that has done its best to support Barack Obama from pillar to post, is now tacitly acknowledging that hardline Senator Tom Cotton has won his battle with the administration over the letter he authored to Iran that was signed by 46 other GOP senators. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/03/15/its-clear-tom-cotton-won-his-battle-with-obama/

[Amnesty] ‘Like an idiot I believed that’: Judge blasts DOJ over immigration claims, threatens sanctions

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/03/20/judge-sanctions-possible-in-obama-immigration-court-case/?intcmp=latestnews

[Amnesty] White House makes aggressive legal push on immigration A battle over a lawsuit filed by Texas and 25 other states, most led by Republicans, has put Obama’s programs in peril. In response, the administration is moving forward with an aggressive legal strategy, confident that the policies are constitutional. http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/235729-white-house-makes-aggressive-push-for-courts-approval-on-immigration

Former White House Advisor: Obama Was ’Angry’ After Senate Killed Gun Control Former Senior White House advisor Dan Pfeiffer admits that one of President Obama’s angriest moments in the White House was after the Senate blocked his push for gun control. (Gun Control doesn’t rank with ObamaCare on priorities – yet he was the angry-est Dan Pfeiffer had seen. Maybe a “bad hair day” or maybe it really is an Obama trip-wire) http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/03/16/former-white-house-advisor-obama-was-angry-after-senate-killed-gun-control/

White House confirms that Petraeus still advising on Iraq, Islamic State (This is schizophrenic! Petraeus was indicted for retaining classified government documents and STILL his advice is being sought on Iraq and ISIS?)

Obama administration sets new record for denying, censoring government files The government took longer to turn over files when it provided any, said more regularly that it couldn't find documents, and refused a record number of times to turn over files quickly that might be especially newsworthy.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/03/18/obama-administration-sets-new-record-for-denying-censoring-government-files/

Obama takes credit for economy http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/236165-obama-takes-credit-for-economy

President Obama Blames Bush for Rise of ISIS When in doubt, blame Bush. President Obama points the finger at former President George W. Bush for the rapid rise of Islamic State terrorists, and says the terrorist group is a consequence of the Iraq war. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/03/17/president-obama-blames-bush-for-rise-of-isis/

Obama doesn't want to mandate voting (Typical. Omar is just “stirring the pot”. Keep your eye on the target – those orders, memos, declarations which he has substantially undertaken) http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/236312-obama-doesnt-want-to-mandate-voting

President Obama floats mandatory voting (The president does not seem to have a focus on critical issues. He seems almost “scatter-brained”) http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/236255-president-obama-floats-mandatory-voting

[Fast Track] Dem: Trade officials ‘baffling’ lawmakers ‘with bullshit’ Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) on Thursday accused the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) of “baffling” Democrats “with bullshit” in an effort to advance President Obama's trade agenda. http://thehill.com/policy/finance/236345-dem-trade-officials-baffling-lawmakers-with-bullshit

The former has been absorbed by Terrorism. The latter has diminished in threat and impact on America. * Not one of these crises has been resolved. Fast & Furious is still an open investigation 4 ½ years after fatal shooting of Border Patrol Agent, Brian Terry (Dec. 2010)

*I have re-arranged the list of crises based on timeliness, threat and impact on America.

Nuclear Iran - pending

Deadline for Iran Nuclear Deal: March. 24th

Bolton calls Iran deal 'unprecedented' surrender Former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton said Saturday that President Obama is negotiating “an unprecedented act of surrender” with Iran in discussions over its nuclear weapons program. http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/235733-bolton-calls-iran-deal-unprecedented-surrender

ObamaCare - pending Supreme Court heard King vs. Burwell. Verdict expected late June.

Republicans move closer to ObamaCare fallback Budget proposals from the House and Senate are moving the GOP closer to a fallback plan if Supreme Court strikes down billions of ObamaCare subsidies later this spring. Both chambers’ budget proposals include an obscure but powerful budget tool known as reconciliation, which allows committees to write bills that can’t be filibustered in the Senate http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/236147-both-chambers-relying-on-reconciliation-to-prepare-for-obamacare-case

GOP Senate Finance: At least $5.7 BILLION wasted on ObamaCare so far http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/236251-finance-chairman-wasted-spending-on-obamacare-at-least-57b

Senate Dems threaten to oppose deal on Medicare doc fees The aides issued the threat as House bargainers try preventing a 21 percent reduction in doctors' Medicare reimbursements scheduled for April 1. Negotiators want to craft an agreement annulling a 1997 formula that annually threatens deep cuts in those payments. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/03/15/senate-dems-threaten-to-oppose-deal-on-medicare-doc-fees/

National Debt – pending

It's ShowTime for the GOP budget fight Much of the fighting will center on budget negotiations, which get underway formally this week and are meant to outline funding priorities for the coming fiscal year and set limits on spending. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/its-showtime-for-the-gop-budget-fight/article/2561439

Federal agencies made $125 BILLION in improper payments last year

The level of improper payments was a new high after several years of declines. In addition to fraud, the errors included overpayments and underpayments, as well payments made without proper documentation. While the errors were spread among 22 federal agencies, three programs stood out: Medicare, Medicaid and the Earned Income Tax Credit. (How about correcting the incompetence in Washington rather than raise the Debt Limit. Punishment would work wonders on behavior modification! This is intolerable). http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/03/16/federal-agencies-made-125b-in-improper-payments-last-year/

Robert Rector Estimates Lifetime Retirement Costs of Illegals Granted Executive Amnesty at $1.3 TRILLION The lifetime costs of Social Security and Medicare benefits of illegal immigrant beneficiaries of President Obama’s executive amnesty would be well over a trillion dollars, according to Heritage Foundation expert Robert Rector’s prepared testimony for a House panel obtained in advance by Breitbart News. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/03/17/robert-rector-estimates-lifetime-retirement-costs-of-illegals-granted-executive-amnesty-at-1-3-trillion/

With so Many Red Flags, Why Isn’t the IRS Auditing the Clinton Foundation? Sixteen months ago, Nicholas Confessore and Amy Chozick wrote in The New York Times about the loose governance and financial performance of the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.

'What would be most palatable to Boeing': Export-Import Bank's cozy relationship with its biggest customer? …And, the Boeing-Ex-Im relationship is unique in that Ex-Im actually dedicates 40 percent of its financing to Boeing. I can't think of another government agency that is so dedicated to serving one company. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/what-would-be-most-palatable-to-boeing-export-import-banks-cozy-relationship-with-its-biggest-customer/article/2561462

GARDNER’S ZINGER: Nails NASA for Shifting Focus from Space to Dirt http://coloradopeakpolitics.com/2015/03/13/gardners-zinger-nails-nasa-for-shifting-focus-from-space-to-dirt/

Out in the Bush ***************************

Town hall with Rep. Ken Buck – I attended the informal town hall at the Pegasus in Castle Rock on Friday. It was packed. I came away with mixed feelings: There was a landslide of questions about both House and Senate. Cromnibus, Homeland Security, Executive Amnesty, VA service and Veteran’s Choice Program and so on. The questions reflected the anticipated anger over the Congress’ failure to muster the votes to advance the GOP agenda – despite having conservative majorities in both chambers. The ouster of Spkr. Boehner was again brought up. Although I think it unfair that all this was laid in Ken

Buck’s lap, the hope would be he will take the message back to Washington and his peers. Editor

Feckless! I am so disgusted with the “new GOP” that I WILL NOT DONATE any

money to the conservative establishment, GOP, NRSC, Freedom Caucus, etc. until they “show me the meat”. Promises of more effective Leadership have woefully disappointed. We must not confuse activity with accomplishment – to quote the famous phrase. I am besieged by calls, emails, and letters asking for money. I have no idea how that money is spent. We still don’t get results. I know this hurts the young Turks in congresses who I admire and who really do stand for something. Better get the message to them early and not at Primary time. I see that Glenn Beck has bailed from the GOP too. PS: The GOP still owes me a Dick Cheney Limited Cowboy Hat after I donated back in mid-December~

And here is another reason I won’t donate to the University of California Alumni

Foundation. Besides the fact they hired Janet Napolitano as President of the University System – was 9 campuses when I was there – asked Barack Obama to speak at commencement in 2014, and Irvine campus refused to fly the American Flag in their buildings – now they want to rename a building after a Black Panther who killed a cop. She was the first woman to appear on the FBI 10 MOST WANTED LIST.

I spent 10 years at 4 of the University of California campuses and received 3 degrees. An aunt, Carolyn Babcock, had an international dormatory building named in her behalf as part of a Presbyterian effort. I’ll be damned if I will support an institution of higher learning that has no better scruples than this!

Stop the Boehner-Pelosi Doc Fix Bill

Nancy Pelosi and John Boehner want to increase America’s debt by $400 billion. That’s right. Even though he has a historic Republican majority, House Speaker Boehner is working with Nancy Pelosi to add hundreds of billions to our national debt. This is irresponsible and unsustainable. It’s a huge win for Barack Obama and the spending extremists in Washington. > > Call your lawmaker and tell them to say no to increasing our nation’s debt. The Boehner-Pelosi scheme will be moving to the House floor sometime next week. We must tell lawmakers to vote “NO” on the Boehner-Pelosi “doc fix” bill. They’ll say this is how you reform entitlements, but entitlement reform shouldn’t increase spending. Tell your representative that Congress must make cuts to pay for their spending, rather than increasing our nation’s debt.

Make the urgent call to your lawmaker today. Sincerely,

Russ Vought Vice President Heritage Action for America

Scandal Sheet -1st of the Month Issue Obama’s threat of “considering corporate tax hike” is not a scandal (yet).

Obama’s threat to prohibit M855 ball ammunition in .223 caliber is not a scandal (yet).

Presidential influence on the FCC’s Net Neutrality, if verified, is a scandal.

Iran Nuclear Negotiations is a scandal – both the alleged content and the manner in which it was negotiated)

President Obama’s argument the United Nations should abandon the protection of Israel and to circumvent Congress in doing so – is appalling.

Hillary Clinton’s private (non-governmental) email and server is a scandal (just not presidential)… not until Obama attempts to excuse or cover it up.

Obama is considering making voting – “mandatory”
