1. IRS Admits Targeting Conservative Groups During 2012 Election, Apologizes
ACLJ says apology not accepted
"Last Spring, dozens of Tea Party groups reported the IRS was not only holding up applications for tax-exempt status, it was also asking a series of intrusive questions that clearly violated the groups’ right of free association. At the ACLJ, we ultimately represented 27 Tea Parties from 18 states and began the painstaking process of resisting, group by group, the IRS’s demands. To date, 14 of our clients have been approved, eight are pending, and none have been denied. The IRS denied targeting the Tea Parties, and some on the Left ridiculed the Tea Party’s claims, passing off the IRS inquiries as 'standard' and 'much ado about nothing.' Today, however, the Associated Press reported the IRS now admits targeting conservative groups and is very, very sorry." . . . Read More

2. ABC News: Obama Administration Scrubbed Terror References In Benghazi Talking Points
"Here are the 12 talking point revisions. Keep in mind the Obama Administration has repeatedly denied making these revisions and denied straight through to Sept 19 that there was any evidence of a terror attack." -Breitbart
"It looks as though after eight long months, the wheels might have finally come off the Obama Administration's cover up of the September 11th anniversary attacks in Libya. To justify lies told for over a week about a spontaneous protest, the White House has consistently insisted they had relied on CIA talking points that only the intelligence community had drafted and revised.
Standing on the shoulders of the Weekly Standard's Stephen Hayes, ABC News's Jonathan Karl has obtained 12 different versions of these now-infamous CIA talking points, and what he found proves beyond any doubt that the White House and State Department not only knew from the beginning that al-Qaeda was involved in the attack, but that the administration (mostly State) removed all 'references to the Al Qaeda-affiliated group Ansar al-Sharia be deleted as well references to CIA warnings about terrorist threats in Benghazi in the months preceding the attack.'" . . .

3. Jodi Arias Is Guilty. So Are We!
"Jodi Arias, Cable TV, and a Nation Fascinated by Shiny Objects" - Bernard Goldberg
"The Arias verdict came down on the same day the House held hearings to determine what really happened last September 11 in Benghazi and to try to find out why four Americans were killed at the U.S. consulate there. Did then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who will likely run for president in 2016, make big mistakes that led to their deaths? Hey, who cares about insignificant crap like that?" . . . Read More
4. Another Un-convicted Chicago Crook Nominated To Obama’s Cabinet
Another 1 Percenter Given Obama Love
"Ms. Pritzker hails from the Chicago Pritzker’s who claim 11 spots on the Forbes Richest Americans List. Ms. Pritzker’s long and sordid history of contemptible if not criminal business expertise should fit in well with the Obama Chicago syndicate running the Executive Branch. As the old adage goes, behind every great fortune, is a great crime.
Ms. Pritzker has an estimated net worth is $1.8 billion “hard-earned” dollars acquired in the fields of banking, finance, hotel ownership/management and consumer credit scoring. Aside from her well-documented loyalty to raising obscene amounts of campaign cash for Obama, Ms. Pritzker, a former member of the President’s Economic Advisory Board, has made a career out of enriching herself at taxpayer expense." . . .

5. Obamacare's Secret Plan
Destroy and Rescue!
"The real name of Obamacare – a name known only to a few policy wonks and politically correct medical students – Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or PPACA. With a name like that, who could object to it? Who would be against 'patient protection' or 'affordable' when it comes to a government-funded program such as Medicare?
Really, who would want 'unaffordable,' though that’s generally what we get in government spending programs? But what does “Affordable Care” really mean? Although Obamacare is fluid, being rewritten hourly, as of this moment, the plan is to create 'accountable care organizations,' or ACOs. These will be defined by geographic areas that contain a certain number of patients. Currently, for example, a pilot ACO blankets a large area of northwestern Iowa.
You the patient, at first, won’t know that you 'belong' to the ACO. But the government has assigned you, if you are a Medicare recipient, to a specific ACO. The ACOs will then be held responsible for quality – as defined by government – and for cost containment." . . . Read More
6. Fools And Knaves
Doing your best to carry water for Obama
"Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings is the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee before which the Benghazi hearing was held today. He did his best to carry water for the White House and the former Secretary of State. Rep. Cummings earns his own entry in this series, as both a fool and a knave, for his advice to the Benghazi witnesses, before the families of the loved ones murdered in the massacre, that “death is a part of life.” Thus spake Rep. Cummings." . . . Read More

7. High School Runner Was Not Disqualified In Texas For Giving Thanks To God
Family is now denying that religious liberty was trampled by officials’ decision to disqualify the team.
"On Friday, TheBlaze reported allegations that a high school student in Columbus, Texas, was disqualified for making a gesture of thanks to God as he crossed the finish line. While media widely reported that Derrick Hayes’ purportedly spirit-filled action led to his team’s inevitable loss, the school district and a sports authority have come forward with a very different story. And the family, too, is now denying that religious liberty was trampled by officials’ decision to disqualify the team.
Following apparent suggestions by K.C. Hayes, Derrick’s father, that his son was dismissed on religious grounds, the University Interscholastic League of Texas (UIL) apparently investigated the incident. The athletic group, an institution that is part of the The University of Texas at Austin, examined footage and spoke with several eyewitnesses." . . . Read More
8. Abortion Horror Hits Michigan
Decapitated Head Found Left in Womb
“'Dr. Alexander perforated the woman’s uterus so badly that it was hanging on by two blood vessels. The decapitated head of a fetus was in the woman’s abdomen and the large intestine had been grasped and pulled away from its blood supply and into the vagina. The woman required a hysterectomy, colonoscopy [colectomy?], and several units of blood to save her life.'” . . . Read More

10. True The Vote Wins Over Congressman West's Lose In the November 2012 Elections
Settlement Is With St. Lucie County FLorida Elections Supervisor
"The agreement provides True the Vote access to all ballots, registrations, and other election related data necessary to conduct an audit of a federal election in Florida's 18th congressional district. The audit will be led not by government entities or political parties, but by concerned citizens.
'True the Vote can now begin reconstruction and review of the 18th Congressional District election race between Colonel Allen West and Patrick Murphy,' True the Vote President Catherine Engelbrecht said. 'We must stop this scandalous cycle of ignoring failures in our electoral process when the campaigns and cameras go home. Understanding how failures in administration can effect elections, as we saw in St. Lucie County, will help prevent them from occurring in the future. We cannot allow slipshod standards to become pandemic across our country's election processes – citizens can and will stand up in defense of election integrity.'" . . . Read More
