Crooked politicians ... Thx Marge R! Our democracy has'em by the bunches, Particularly the Clintons

The crooks continue and make the political arena their playground – both Democrats and Republicans. 

                    

                     How bout this ??   Hows that old saying go ??

                     Birds of the same feather, flock together ...

 

Know this guy?     Just a reminder in case you have forgotten.                                            He is Edward "Ed" Mezvinsky, born January 17, 1937. Then you'll probably say, "Who is Ed Mezvinsky?"        Well, he is a former Democrat congressman who represented Iowa's 1st congressional district in the United States House of Representatives for two terms, from 1973 to 1977.   He sat on the House Judiciary Committee that decided the fate of Richard Nixon.   He was outspoken saying that Nixon was a crook and a disgrace to politics and the nation and should be impeached.   He and the Clintons were friends and very politically intertwined for many years.   Ed Mezvinsky had an affair with NBC News reporter Marjorie Sue Margolies and later married her after his wife divorced him.   In 1993, Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky, then a freshman Democrat in Congress, cast the deciding vote that got President Bill Clinton's controversial tax package through the House of Representatives.     In March 2001, Mezvinsky was indicted and later pleaded guilty to 31 of 69 counts of bank fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud.   Ed Mezvinsky embezzled more than $10 million dollars from people via both a Ponzi scheme and the notorious Nigerian E-mail scams.   He was found guilty and sentenced to 80 months in federal prison.   After serving less than five years in federal prison, he was released in April 2008 and remains on federal probation.   To this day, he still owes $9.4 million in restitution to his victims.         About now you are saying, "So what!"   Well, this is Marc and Chelsea Mezvinsky.     That's right; Ed Mezvinsky is Chelsea Clinton's father-in law.   Now Marc and Chelsea are in their early thirties and purchased a 10.5 million dollar NYC apartment (after being married in George Soros' mansion). Has anyone heard mention of any of this in any of the media?   If this guy was Jenna or Barbara Bush's, or better yet,   Sarah Palin's daughter's father-in- law,  the news would be an everyday headline and every detail would be reported over and over.   And yet say there are no double standards in political reporting.  And people are already talking about Hillary as our next President! And then there is possibly Chelsea for president in our future!   The cycle never ends!       Lying and corruption seem to make Democrat candidates more popular.   When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty. ~~ Thomas Jefferson   "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." ~ ~Abraham Lincoln

Will Rogers wit ... Thx Judi C!

Never Squat With Your Spurs On! Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash in Alaska with bush pilot Wiley Post, was one of the greatest political country/cowboy sages this country has ever known. Some of his sayings: 1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco. 2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day. 3. There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither works. 4. Never miss a good chance to shut up. 5. Always drink upstream from the herd. 6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. 7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your pocket. 8. There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves. 9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. 10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there. 11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back. 12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut. ABOUT GROWING OLDER... First ~ Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.  Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.  Third ~ Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me; I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.  Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.  Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.  Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.  Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it's such a nice change from being young.  Eighth ~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.  Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable and relaxed.  Tenth ~ Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft.    Today it's called golf.  And, finally ~ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you're old.

IRS says thieves stole tax info from 100,000 households

Identity thieves used the Internal Revenue Service’s online service to obtain tax return information for about 100,000 U.S households, the tax agency said Tuesday.

The IRS said criminals used stolen Social Security numbers and other data to gain unauthorized access to the accounts. Of the 200,000 attempts, 100,000 were successful.

The IRS said thieves used the information from prior years’ returns to help them file for fake refunds. They did it by accessing a system called “Get Transcript,” where they had to clear a security screen that required knowledge about the taxpayer, including Social Security number, date of birth, tax filing status and street address.

"The IRS notes this issue does not involve its main computer system that handles tax filing submission; that system remains secure," the agency said in a statement.

The IRS said thieves targeted the system from February to mid-May. The service has been temporarily shut down.

"In all, about 200,000 attempts were made from questionable email domains, with more than 100,000 of those attempts successfully clearing authentication hurdles," the agency said. "During this filing season, taxpayers successfully and safely downloaded a total of approximately 23 million transcripts."

Tax returns can include a host of personal information that can help someone steal an identity, including Social Security numbers and birthdates of dependents and spouses. However, the IRS said the thieves appeared to already have a lot of personal information about the victims.

“Taxpayers must know that the information they send to the IRS is secure,” Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said in a written statement following the announcement. “And hackers who would steal that information must know that they will suffer severe consequences for their crimes.”

The IRS said it is notifying taxpayers whose information was accessed.

Her displacement is about 100,000 tons with full complement.  Capability Top speed exceeds 30 knots, powered by two nuclear reactors that can operate for more than 20 years without refueling       No. 2: USS BILL CLINTONThe USS William Jefferson Clinton (CVS1) set sail  today from its home port of Vancouver , BC The ship is the first of its kind in the Navy and is a standing legacy to President Bill Clinton 'for his foresight in military budget cuts' and his conduct while holding the (formerly dignified) office of President.     As a standing order, there are no firearms allowed on board.               No. 3: USS BARACK OBAMA  Details are vague. But don't you worry... he has a plan.
