Welcome

Welcome to my blog http://www.skegley.blogspot.com/ . CAVEAT LECTOR- Let the reader beware. This is a Christian Conservative blog. It is not meant to offend anyone. Please feel free to ignore this blog, but also feel free to browse and comment on my posts! You may also scroll down to respond to any post.

For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Summary of Key FATCA Provisions

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), enacted in 2010 as part of the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act, is an important development in U.S. efforts to combat tax evasion by U.S. persons holding investments in offshore accounts.
Under FATCA, certain U.S. taxpayers holding financial assets outside the United States must report those assets to the IRS. In addition, FATCA will require foreign financial institutions to report directly to the IRS certain information about financial accounts held by U.S. taxpayers, or by foreign entities in which U.S. taxpayers hold a substantial ownership interest.
Reporting by U.S. Taxpayers Holding Foreign Financial Assets
FATCA requires certain U.S. taxpayers holding foreign financial assets with an aggregate value exceeding $50,000 to report certain information about those assets on a new form (Form 8938) that must be attached to the taxpayer’s annual tax return.  Reporting applies for assets held in taxable years beginning after March 18, 2010. For most taxpayers this will be the 2011 tax return they file during the 2012 tax filing season.  Failure to report foreign financial assets on Form 8938 will result in a penalty of $10,000 (and a penalty up to $50,000 for continued failure after IRS notification).  Further, underpayments of tax attributable to non-disclosed foreign financial assets will be subject to an additional substantial understatement penalty of 40 percent.
Reporting by Foreign Financial Institutions
FATCA will also require foreign financial institutions (“FFIs”) to report directly to the IRS certain information about financial accounts held by U.S. taxpayers, or by foreign entities in which U.S. taxpayers hold a substantial ownership interest. To properly comply with these new reporting requirements, an FFI will have to enter into a special agreement with the IRS by June 30, 2013. Under this agreement a “participating” FFI will be obligated to:
(1) undertake certain identification and due diligence procedures with respect to its accountholders;

(2) report annually to the IRS on its accountholders who are U.S. persons or foreign entities with substantial U.S. ownership; and

(3) withhold and pay over to the IRS 30-percent of any payments of U.S. source income, as well as gross proceeds from the sale of securities that generate U.S. source income, made to (a) non-participating FFIs, (b) individual accountholders failing to provide sufficient information to determine whether or not they are a U.S. person, or (c) foreign entity accountholders failing to provide sufficient information about the identity of its substantial U.S. owners.
Notice 2011-53 provides the phased-in timeline of key FATCA implementation dates for FFIs. It is important to note that many details of the new reporting and withholding requirements pertaining to FFIs must be developed through Treasury regulations.  Proposed regulations were issued on Feb. 8, 2012.  Published IRS Notices accessible from this FATCA internet site provide currently available information and guidance.

Obama's worst idea yet starts July 1st 2014


Dear Reader,

We’ve been critical of several Obama Administration policies over the past few years…

But a new law set to go into effect on July 1st, 2014 (less than five months from now), might be the Administration’s worst decision yet.

On this date, Title V of House of Representative Bill #2847, known as “FATCA,” goes into effect.

We believe this could precipitate a huge collapse in the U.S. dollar… and a rapid decrease in our standard of living.

Of course, we’re not the only ones who believe this new U.S. law is going to be a disaster for our country and American citizens.

Andrew Quinlan of the Center for Freedom and Prosperity says: “FATCA is pound-for-pound the single worst tax law on the books.”

Even the normally liberal Atlantic Monthly magazine said: “FATCA seems to be turning into a nightmare and disaster.”

What does this law do… and why is it so bad for America?

The founder of our Research Firm has put together a detailed explanation of what is happening in America right now, and why this new law is something EVERY American should pay close attention to.

Get the facts for yourself, free on our website, here

Sincerely,

George Rayburn

Dearborn, Michigan ... Thx Ramey H!

Dearborn, Michigan makes the news
 
This is from a fellow who lives and works in Dearborn!
 
Can't work in the school system front offices if you don't speak arabic now
 
and need to know many dialects as some Arabs can't understand others arabic language
 
Everybody goes back to the homeland for months and expects to get passed on to the next grade
 
it's crazy as I am at ground zero on this.
 
Kids (assuming girls, can't tell for sure) roaming the hallways in full blown burkas
 
kids attending classes that can't speak or understand English
All school monies are being moved from the English end of town (irish, polish, Italian etc etc kids) to the east end  (95% arabic) in the attempt to prop up the poorly performing schools .
6th graders are reading at a 3rd grade level , forget math and sciences.
Everybody gets free breakfasts and lunches. after being dropped off in Land Rovers, and the car of choice here  Mercedes or Escalade
 
It is very common to have 3 families live in 1 house.

All garages are being converted into living spaces complete with stoves (against all codes ) and the city council can't find the nerve to enforce the safety regulations
 
Cars end up parked all over the streets affecting snow plowing, garbage pick up, ambulance runs.
 
I'll send you some pics as I take them
 
If this doesn't scare you, you haven't been watching what has happened to our country in recent years.
 
I  bet you can't guess what this is!

Well,  it's part of the instructions for how to apply for food  stamps in the great state of Michigan in Arabic !!
 
Read  on:
I  actually called the Michigan Dept  of Human Services
to  check this out and it is true.
Have  we gone completely nuts!!
 
Muslim  men are allowed to have as many as 4 wives. Many Muslims have immigrated into  the U.S. and brought their 2-3-or 4 wives with them, but the U.S. does not allow  plural marriages, so the man lists one wife as his, and signs the other 2 or 3 up  as extended family on welfare and other free Government  programs!
 
Michigan has the highest population of Muslims in the  United States .
 
When President   Obama took office the United States paid several millions of dollars to have a large number of Palestinians , ( All Muslim ), immigrated here from Palestine . Why? We don't pay  for other persons to immigrate here, and I'm sure that some of those Muslims  moved into Michigan with the large current number of Muslims already established  there.
 
So  now in Michigan when you call the Public Assistance office you are told to  “Press 1 for English. Press 2 for Spanish, or Press 3 for Arabic”! CHECK IT OUT  YOURSELF - Here is the number               1-888-678-8914         1-888-678-8914 .
                                                                                                                                 It’s true I tried it
 
Every  time you add a new language to an American program it requires an additional  number of persons fluent in that language to process those persons who refuse to  learn English in order to live here at an additional cost to the taxpayer! Why  are we even allowing persons to immigrate here who cannot provide for  themselves, and putting them in our welfare system?
 
Press  3 for Arabic.
This  is quite alarming!!! This seems to have happened clandestinely , for, as far as  I know, no public announcement or opportunity to vote on this was offered to  the American people. They're just adopting an official stance, and very likely  using tax-payer money for it, in various capacities, without public knowledge or  approval.
The  following link takes you into the State of Michigan Public Assistance   page,
(as  in Food Stamps etc). You won't have to scroll far before you see the  assistance-letters options for ... (get this) ... English, Spanish, and ARABIC!!!
When  did the ARABIC option sneak into our culture? Will we soon have to listen to our  governmental offices, stores, and other venues offer us the option of "pressing  3 for ARABIC?"
 
Check  it out for yourself.
(When  you get to this web site, just click on the FORMS AND PUBLICATIONS button -  those forms in Arabic are listed as ending in AR!!)
 
 
Please  inform every red-blooded American you know, that this is happening. It is  outrageous! The camel's nose is literally now OFFICIALLY under the  tent!
YOUR  TAX DOLLARS AT WORK !
 
Thank you Obama.  You promised change and you've
 
certainly kept your word  !!
