Seeking to dampen criticism of his handling of the War on Terror and the Internal Revenue Service's selective intrusion into the views of his political opponents, President Obama announced that the detention center at Guantanamo would be closed and it's inmates “redistributed as seems most appropriate.” While it is expected that a majority of the detainees will be repatriated to the Middle Eastern Hell-holes from whence they came, those with exemplary skills are likely to be transferred to positions within the IRS. “The fact that people are openly criticizing the IRS is the best evidence we have that it has...

I don’t want to come right out and say that BO is losing it. Butt for a guy who has been regaled for his rhetorical gifts, has raised over $1 billion in campaign funds, and ran a political organization the envy of Tammany Hall, how else do you explain all these things? Tell me, how can someone like Big Guy surround himself with so many incompetent people heading up so many agencies that keep coming up with such “suboptimal outcomes?” For starters: an IRS staffed with senior management who either know nothing, or are unwilling to tell us what they...

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) sought to absolve President Obama from any blame in the burgeoning plume of scandals surrounding his Administration by forcefully asserting that “he doesn’t necessarily know anything about any agency of the federal government.” The Congresswoman brushed off reports that IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman visited the Obama White House 118 times over a two year period during which conservative groups were targeted as indicative of anything. “The White House is a big place,” Pelosi said. “Just because Mr. Shulman and President Obama were in the building doesn’t necessarily mean that they met. And even if...

If this looks familiar it's because this donkey has a twin.I'm surprised one of my fellow agitprop artists or myself never thought of this idea  before...better late than never I guess.

This does not bode well for my future as MOTUS (Mirror Of The United States): That’s right; simply by peering into the mirror, we have met the enemy and, shockingly, he is us. “We are the enemy we have been waiting for” As always, the people responsible for this travesty will be held accountable, so I expect to receive my notice of (paid) administrative leave shortly. Butt wait! I think I’ve found an IRS approved loophole! You can’t really blame an empty chair can you? Good work MOTUS! - if I do say so myself. With a h/t to Clint...

This was an idea sent to me from a friend, Eric Andrews. (Inspired by Lois Lerner's pleading the 5th on the IRS nonsense)Check out his Facebook page, there's a lot of really great posts there.

H/t to YoungCons for the original idea.

I do so love the smell of mendacity in the morning, don’t you? “What's that smell in this room? Didn't you notice it, Brick? Didn't you notice a powerful and obnoxious odor of mendacity in this room?... (SNIP) “Smelly cat, smelly cat, it’s not your fault” ...Read The Rest Here>>>

Okay, I admit it. The main reason for this DUmmie FUnnies edition is so I can post the VIDEO of the sublime moment in yesterday's Congressional IRS hearing when Trey Gowdy let the world and Lois Lerner know that she BLEW it by accidentally waiving her Fifth Amendment rights when she delivered a self-serving opening statement proclaiming her innocence. One moment she is relieved to be dismissed by the committee's chairman and the next moment she is having a Depends Moment when she realizes, thanks to Trey Gowdy, that she completely BLEW her invocation of her Fifth Amendment rights....

Rubio was on Cavuto and Hannity’s shows today and so naturally I watched Cavuto (watch daily) not Hannity and he (Rubio) was outraged about the current IRS scandal and said we need MORE investigations into it. See? He is one of us. And he says we can’t trust Obama with big government health care, (how about big government amnesty-care Rubio?) and we must repeal it , see, he is going after Obama ? He is on OUR side. He really ripped Obama on that too. Then Cavuto got to immigration and never letting us down he started by played a...

Maybe then news like this will seep into the minds of all those liberals idiots low-information voters out there.

When Lady M addressed the graduating class at Nashville’s Martin Luther King Jr. Academic Magnet High School last week she reminded them that failure was a part of life – no matter who you are: “And then there’s this guy Barack Obama ... he lost his first race for Congress, and now he gets to call himself my husband.” Lucky him “I could take up a whole afternoon talking about his failures.” Well, now it looks like Congress is considering calling her up to testify on the Hill, as they can’t seem to locate another soul who’s willing to talk about...

Surprise! Surprise! The DUmmies SUPPORT IRS official Lois Lerner for pleading the Fifth Amendment as it is reported she will do tomorrow during a congressional hearing tomorrow. At least the DUmmies have revealed themselves since I checked KOmmieland and there is NADA there about this. There was a lot of reaction at the HUffington Post but since they allow NORMAL people in there, over 90% of the posters condemned Lerner. Of course, there were a few voices of reason in this DUmmie THREAD, "IRS Official Lois Lerner Will Plead The 5th Amendment," which leads me to suspect that those...

I wish I could say this post was unprovoked, but one Democrat wasted no time politicizing the Oklahoma tornado tragedy. They're forcing the point...shamelessly.

Question: When does a Drudge story become a scandal? Answer: When the MSM says so. Question: When does the MSM say so? Answer: 1) When it involves Republicans; and 2) When it’s about them. (SNIP)   No, you shut up! How else to explain the Media’s sudden interest in the Federal Government’s abuse of power? They weren’t the least bit captivated by Fast and Furious (Gun running to Mexican cartels? No story there), Pigford (Massive fraud at USDA?

"You're travelling to another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound, but also of mind....your next stop, the twilight zone."Barack Obama was elected President of the United States on November 7, 2000. On Sept. 11, 2001, the United States was attacked as hijacked airplanes crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, and the Pentagon. Here is the transcript of the first presidential press conference, held the day after the attacks...

I took down the post about Charles Ramsey's past. The extension of the man's fifteen minutes is irritating to me, but I suppose I'm more irritated with the people who have tried to turn him into the next Antoine Dodson. One of the reasons that the Dodson bit and Bed Intruder is funny and entertaining is that nothing all that bad happened. There was a break-in, a failed rape attempt and a clumsy escape which left the Dodsons traumatized for a short time. The interview—which was with the actual victims, not a bystander—was the perfect example of what Nipsey Washington...

Scores were injured and numerous buildings were burnt to the ground in the city of Itsnotsobad in the Islamic Republic of Whereizitstan, after a riot was started by peaceful Muslims who expressed outrage over five straight days of no provocation or insults from the West. Mahmoud Iwannariotbad, a local businessman who sells detonators, wire, and dynamite to the local mosque construction industry, stated that the violence began when a group of men hanging around in his store began discussing the fact that no new anti-Islam films, subway advertisements, or Pamela Geller blog postings had appeared for a number of days....

There is far too much subversion for a small Government to handle. The Administration needs to be protected no matter how high the cost.Considering all the matters with which our grand and glorious Federal Government is forced to deal on a daily basis we need more, not less, of it. It cannot be expected adequately to respond to the many vicious attacks coming from the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy unless it expands sufficiently to deal with them. Here, for example, is a vile attack published by one member of that disgraced conspiracy, the Daily Pest Beast. Following the attack in...

What are those four guys on horseback doing here?

I can't say I came up with this totally on my own, it was largely inspired by this piece from iOwnTheWorld.

If you were smart you made the most of your pre-Memorial Day weekend by not watching the news. Or maybe you only watched the Sunday morning talking heads to keep up on Scandal-gate. Either way, you probably missed the big stories about our newly expanded and re-vitamized initiatives. Let me bring you up to speed. First, Lady M announced she is dramatically expanding her No Child’s Fat Behind initiative to zoos! Yup, that’s right, zoos. [Let’s be careful out there: no simian references please. We’re better than that.] Most people are not aware of the growing problem of zoo resident...

Inadequately covered females force male members in the Religion of Piece to react impurely. Ditto in the U.S. Armed Forces. That must cease, right now. No matter how hard the task may become, the rank and file must embrace Our Loving President's creative solutions. President Obama's gracious embrace of Islamism and his own heroic assassination of Osama Bin Laden have brought peace to the Islamic World including even the United States. Because of his historic foresight in making it perfectly clear that "the future must not belong to those who speak accurately of slander the prophet of Islam," we are no longer under threat of attack by Islamic terrorists extremists and...

Presidential adviser David Axelrod sought to deflect blame for the scandals swirling around President Obama by pointing out that “as it stands today, government is unmanageably big. The responsibilities and scope of action are so enormous that no human being or even team of humans could possibly govern effectively.” Axelrod hastened to clarify that “I’m not joining the ranks of the ‘smaller government’ crowd. That would be irresponsible. Government has a moral obligation to meet the needs of the people. It can’t shirk this obligation just because its attainment is impossible.” The very impossibility of the task was held to...

Ever since its spontaneous inception, the Tea Party has been doing their Paul Revere thing with respect to warning citizens about the danger of too big, out-of-control government. So, in a move designed, seemingly, to prove their point, the IRS’ responded by implementing a program designed to harass and intimidate individuals and groups that looked anything like a tea party. Alinsky rule # 12: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. That sounds a lot...

When in doubt, pull it out. Pull what out, you ask? Why, the Race Card, of course. It always comes in handy whenever Our President comes under attack. And so it is for such a time as this that the Race Card was created. For this has been a very rough week or so for Dear Leader. I mean, the Benghazi scandal, which just won't go away, now has been joined by the IRS targeting scandal and the AP record-seizing scandal. Oy! Time for the Big Guy to take a golfing vacation somewhere, I guess, to get a little...

Hey, I don't get it..but it IS funny. Seems that during the infield party before the Preakness stakes, people run across the tops of the rows of Port-A-Potties while others throw beer cans at them. Sort of a human shi**ing (er, shooting) galler, perhaps? Link below to five (yes, that's right, FIVE)of the best???? videos of drunken idiots running the gauntlet.

The Wons took a little break from Scandals ‘R Us to visit ground zero of the future of the Democratic party: schools. Lady M went to college to get a new law degree (in case she needs one again someday). OMG! OMG! I WON!?! “I’d like to thank the Academy for this great honor; all my great fans – without all you little people I wouldn’t be here today!” …and Big Guy went to elementary school where he quizzed future Democrats on basic math skills:  “If I give you 1 community organizer, 2 banks and 3 grocery stores, how much...

Could you imagine if this were the scene? (yes we can!)This whole thing goes right in line with this post I did about the study showing strong men tend to be conservative.

Boy, opening an umbrella is only supposed to be bad luck when it's done inside!So, I saw this post with this image at Free Republic. After I was done laughing my butt off I decided to take it to another level.I should consider adding this to my Liberal Supervillains gallery.

Because he's in over his head.....Get it? :-D Seriously though...Lonely Conservative has the video our fearless (except for rain) emperor calling the Marines in to be his hand-maidens posted here.

Well, it’s Friday. That used to mean late afternoon document dumps for the media to ignore. The last few weeks though, this gambit seems to have gotten a little out of hand. Now it seems we’re dumping new scandals, or new details from old scandals buried in previous Friday afternoon doc-dumps that the media ignored. And ever since that little phone tapping issue with the AP, they’re not ignoring them anymore! So today’s scandal-gate dumps include a few new-only-to-the-MSM tidbits, including confirmation of the release of hundreds of level 1 through 3 criminals in Arizona as part of Big Guy’s...

WASHINGTON (BHN) - More than 500 conservative-oriented groups have now come forward with tales of extended delays and difficulties obtaining tax-exempt status from the IRS. As an example of the type of information IRS officers were requiring of many of these groups, we have obtained an excerpt of an addendum sent to one organization (below).

In fairness to people weary of the current GOP leadership Mitch McConnell probably did NOT come up with this on his own.

President Obama, as usual, is blameless for any misfeasance and malfeasance of the Government he allegedly leads. Let's make it easier for him by making it simpler and smaller. Due to the complexity and multiplicity of scandals increasingly enveloping the Obama Administration, I became too bogged down with constantly emerging new stuff to write about it. Sadly, President Obama also has to rely on media reports, so I can easily understand his problems. Indeed, even this little bit about the Justice Department almost escaped me: WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department failed to provide the names of some terrorists in the...

True story, see more about it here.

To paraphrase one of Barry's Marxist mentors, Jeremiah Wright, Obama's chickens are coming home to roooost! Speaker Boehner wants to know who's going to jail over the IRS scandal. We've heard many such opening salvos from the Speaker, then comes a round of golf or a getting to know you dinner, and then nothing happens. Unless Congress moves to abolish the IRS and replace our taxation system with an equitable way of financing legitimate government, nothing will change. These guys have been yanking our chains for way too long. If we weren't wearing chains they'd have to find something else...

So Big Guy “fired” (oops! we don’t use that term around here any more) acting IRS Director Stephen Miller. Technically Jack Lew was the poodle handling the termination, as Big Guy never gets involved in the minutia of governing. Unfortunately, we might only get partial credit for this “decisive action” with respect to Big Guy’s handling of Intim-O-Gate (h/t Glenn Beck) since Mr. Miller was planning to leave in June when his temporary assignment expired anyway. If a dead tree falls in the forest… And if “firing” the acting IRS director – who wasn’t even the Director at the time...
