Dear Mr. Obama, It Must Be Good to Be King | TheBlaze.com:
"Dear President Obama, Lord, Sultan, Emperor, Pharaoh, Caesar, God-king, Prince of the Americas, whatever we’re supposed to call you. ‘President’ alone simply won’t suffice, will it, Your Grace? We had a thing called a president once, but that lowly office could scarcely contain your Majesty. You found that you couldn’t effectively govern while constrained by the rule of law, so you superseded it, just as you’ve done countless times before. This time you are waving your mighty scepter and magically granting defacto citizenship to millions of illegal aliens."
This is an excellent letter. I wish the author a harassment free life.

Wall Street Journal: IRS Finds Missing Emails of Former Top Official Lerner in Targeting Probe:
The watchdog agency for the Internal Revenue Service said it has found as many as 30,000 missing emails that could be relevant to a long-running congressional inquiry into alleged IRS targeting of conservative groups.
Wall Street Journal: IRS Finds Missing Emails of Former Top Official Lerner in Targeting Probe:
Investigators for the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration recently recovered the emails from IRS backup tapes, according to a spokeswoman for the watchdog agency. The emails belong to a former top IRS official, Lois Lerner, who has been a focus of congressional inquiries. ...
Top IRS officials had told lawmakers that backup tapes were routinely recycled and therefore weren't useful in the effort to find the missing email records. The agency said it had used other employees’ hard drives to recover thousands of the missing emails.
But TIGTA investigators succeeded in locating thousands of Ms. Lerner’s emails on the backup tapes. ...
The IRS said in a statement: “As Commissioner Koskinen has stated, the IRS welcomes TIGTA’s independent review and expert forensic analysis. Commissioner Koskinen has said for some time he would be pleased if additional Lois Lerner emails from this time frame could be found.”
The revelations promise to draw new attention to the targeting controversy, just before lawmakers return to Washington for the new Congress next year. TIGTA officials told lawmakers on Friday about the discovery of the missing emails, but congressional aides said it could take some weeks before the emails are sorted and in shape to examine. The emails must be decrypted and in some cases must be redacted to remove taxpayer-identifying information, aides said.

"It seems teenagers across the country are unhappy with some of their new lunch menus and are blaming First Lady Michelle Obama’s push for federally mandated “healthy” lunches.
Using the hashtag #ThanksMichelleObama, teens and some parents tweeted photos of some of the meals currently being served in America’s high schools. We warn you, some of them might make you lose your appetite."
If the queen doesn't respond, it will prove that she is the Elitist Witch we've always known her to be.
How does a non-elected individual change the lunch program for public schools across the nation?
This took place before the official crowning on November 20, 2014!

'Fair Share?' The Typical Beneficiary Of Obama's Illegal Immigration Plan Won't Pay Net Income Taxes
'Fair Share?' The Typical Beneficiary Of Obama's Illegal Immigration Plan Won't Pay Net Income Taxes:
Income statistics for illegals are, as you might imagine, not so easy to discern.
But the Century Foundation analysis, published in Mother Jones, estimates that in 2005, “we can be virtually certain that illegal immigrants earned less than $24,000 per year, on average, probably much less.”
That’s about $29,177 in 2014 dollars. According to theCongressional Budget Office, a person making that kind of money would pay negligible federal taxes, and receive around $10,000 in government benefits.

BREAKING: Al Sharpton Announces Nationwide Race Riots... Here's the List of Cities He's Targeting
It’s an meaningless blanket get-out-of-jail-free card meant to keep him out of trouble when these race baiting spectacles inevitably spiral out of control.
“We all know that when Al Sharpton uses the phrase “peaceful protest,” it’s done with a nudge and a wink.
It seems that Sharpton seems to sense the writing on the wall as to how the grand jury will go.
This week, Sharpton wrote a piece in the New York Times, suggesting that we do away with the grand jury process (at least in cases like Officer Wilson’s), and merely take the person to jury trial.
Because if the facts don’t work out in your favor, change the rules. And if that doesn’t work, break stuff.

10 Examples Of The Social Decay That Is Eating Away At America Like Cancer
10 Examples Of The Social Decay That Is Eating Away At America Like Cancer | The Daily Sheeple:
#1 It seems like many of the most horrific crimes these days are happening in middle America. For example, a woman was recently hit over the head, raped and set on fire in a park in Wichita Kansas…
Wichita police say a woman was sexually assaulted, hit on the head, and set on fire Monday night in Fairmount Park.
According to police, the woman was on the ground, almost in a crawl, barely moving, and naked.
The woman was helped by a neighbor – Johnnye Marshall woke up her boyfriend Deon McPherson when she heard somebody scream for help.
“What if that was my daughter? I’d want somebody to go in and get her,” McPherson told The Wichita Eagle. “Where there wasn’t blood, there was a burn.”
The flames from the fire were about 2 to 4 feet high. McPherson stayed with the woman until firefighters arrived.

Obesity Affects Number Of Those Eligible For Military Service « CBS BaltimoreBALTIMORE (WJZ) — Unhealthy eating habits could become an issue of national security.
The Department of Defense says that obesity is affecting the number of Americans eligible to serve in the military.
“I am very concerned about the reduced number of men and women who can meet all of the qualifications required to serve in our armed forces,” said retired U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Steven Tomaszeski.
Now, retired admirals from Maryland are releasing a report, citing obesity as the number one reason young adults can’t serve in the military.
“Nearly one quarter, 25 percent of all Americans ages 17-24 are too overweight to serve.
Obesity is not only affecting those who can qualify for military service, it is also creating challenges for our active duty military,” Tomaszeski said.
