Report: Lerner Emails Show Partisan Concern For Democrats
Big Government reports:
Former IRS official Louis Lerner and her colleagues at the tax agency were under a tremendous amount of pressure from President Obama and other Democrats to scrutinize a Tea Party applicant for public disclosure, despite rules protecting the privacy of unapproved applications, according to a staff report from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.No word yet on how many IRS workers "contributed " to the Obama campaign in 2012.
For example, in emails regarding how the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision could imperil the Democrats' majority in the Senate, Lerner wrote that she hoped the Federal Election Commission would “save the day,” apparently by curtailing political speech.
In another email referencing a news article about the businessmen and benefactors Charles and David Koch, Lerner suggested the IRS should begin a “project” to reign in political speech but to craft it in such a way as to avoid the appearance of focusing on political activity.
Flashback: Planned Parenthood's Plan to Eliminate Black People-The World of Margaret Sanger
Flashback to Planned Parenthood's founder Margaret Sanger. It's not about birth control but wiping out black people. Here's the eugenics movement's Margaret Sanger:
Clarence Gamble, heir of Proctor and Gamble, wrote a memorandum in November, 1939 entitled: "Suggestions for the Negro Project." In the letter he suggested black leaders “be placed in positions where it would appear they were in charge."No word yet on this story from modern day Uncle Toms Jesse Jackson or Rev. Al Sharpton of MSNBC fame.
This is a letter to Clarence Gamble, from Margaret Sanger, in which she wrote,
"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."
Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac Shares Fall on Wind-Down Measure
Bloomberg reports:
Common shares of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (FMCC) experienced their biggest intraday drop in 10 months after leaders of the Senate Banking Committee announced plans to eliminate the companies in a new bill.20 to 1 leverage is still alright in the delusional land of big government! Even hedge funds aren't leveraged that much.
Fannie Mae (FNMA) shares tumbled as much as 44 percent, paring the losses to 31 percent to trade at $4 as of 3 p.m. in New York, after Edwin Groshans, a managing director at Washington-based equity research firm Height Analytics LLC, described the proposal as holder-negative. Freddie Mac fell as much as 39 percent. Preferred shares also dropped, some by as much as 12 percent.
The bipartisan measure, drafted with input from President Barack Obama’s administration, would replace the U.S.-owned mortgage financiers with government bond insurance that would kick in only after private capital suffered losses of at least 10 percent, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Johnson and Senator Mike Crapo said in a statement today. The bill would require most borrowers to make down payments of at least 5 percent.

DOL inspector general Scott S. Dahl confirmed that his office is reviewing wasteful spending at the Labor Department in a Feb. 27 letter to Republican Sen. Tom Coburn obtained by The Daily Caller.
“I write in response to your letter dated February 14, 2014, regarding your request that the Office of Inspector General investigate wasteful spending practices at the U.S. Department of Labor. We are currently reviewing the information you provided and will keep your office informed of our progress,” Dahl wrote.

U.S. Supreme Court Hands Property Owners A Big Victory: Court ruling in land dispute could threaten bike trails
The Statesman Journal reports:
The Supreme Court's ruling in an obscure Wyoming land dispute Monday could result in the loss of thousands of miles of bicycle trails or cost the government millions of dollars in compensation.A big win for private property rights.
The justices ruled 8-1 that government easements used for railroad beds over public and private land in the West expired once the railroads went out of business, and the land must revert to its owners.
Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, said the case was decided based on an 1875 act of Congress and a 1942 Supreme Court decision involving the Great Northern Railway Co.
That ruling confirmed that the government merely had received easements without any long-term land rights, he said. The establishment in 1983 of the federal "rails to trails" program didn't change the court's interpretation for easements that expired earlier.
Harry Reid again attacks Koch brothers during climate change debate
The Hill reports:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) used an all-night climate change campaign in the Senate to once again bash Charles and David Koch.We can only guess how much money Harry Reid and his family have invested in "green energy"? After all, Harry Reid did get into politics to get rich.
“It's time to stop acting like those who ignore this crisis — the oil baron Koch brothers and their allies in Congress — have a valid point of view,” Reid said Monday evening. “But despite overwhelming scientific evidence and overwhelming public opinion, climate change deniers still exist. They exist in this country and in this Congress.”
