Stopping voter fraud

Imagine What They Would Have Been Worth 45 Years Ago

Man cashes in pennies he's been saving for 45 years

Otha Anders saved his first penny more than 45 years ago when he found it on the ground.

The coin reminded him to pray and give thanks.

"I became convinced that spotting a lost or dropped penny was an additional God-given incentive reminding me to always be thankful," said Anders, 73. "There have been days where I failed to pray and more often than not, a lost or dropped penny would show up to remind me."

Fifteen five-gallon plastic water jugs and half a million pennies later, Anders on Tuesday deposited $5,136.14 into his account to go toward a recent dental bill.

He cashed in the coins to the Ruston Origin Bank, in Ruston, La.

After that first coin, Anders said his penny pile began to grow and he ultimately stopped spending pennies and always made sure whenever he made a purchase, his change contained at least three to four pennies.

Bank Vice President Jennie Cole said it was not a typical day at the bank when Anders had his collection of pennies rolled in on a dolly, but Anders is a longtime customer who they wanted to help.

"We value his business, as we do all of our customers," she said. "But if we can help Anders with his endeavors, we are happy to do so."

Cole said a machine counted the coins that saves much time, and Origin Bank's part is to help get the pennies counted, so Anders can get to his destination.

Now The “Freedom Caucus” Wants To Be Taken Seriously

“CONSERVATIVE” GROUP BLASTS BUDGET BACKED BY THE LIBERAL LEADERS IT JUST ENDORSED

Days after delivering the gavel of the U.S. House of Representatives to liberal “Republican” Paul Ryan, a group of so-called “conservative” lawmakers now wants to be taken seriously as defenders of taxpayers.

The so-called “House Freedom Caucus” – which includes U.S. Reps. Jeff Duncan, Mick Mulvaney and Mark Sanford – issued a statement this week blasting a proposed two-year federal budget plan that would drown America deeper in debt.

(For more on that scam, CLICK HERE).

Here’s the statement …

The latest budget deal continues the sad pattern of the past five years: a fiscal monstrosity gets negotiated in secret with Obama, Reid, and Pelosi; the American people and their representatives get shut out of the process; and the bill is rushed through the House on short notice and without proper scrutiny or the ability to offer amendments. This deal is an affront to open, accountable, and limited government. It plunges our nation into debt to the tune of nearly $20 trillion, busts the spending caps enacted by Congress just a few years ago, perpetuates our looming entitlement crisis by pilfering money from Social Security, and contains budget and accounting gimmicks that are manifestly fraudulent.

All of that is true …

This biennial budget deal is every bit as bad as these lawmakers say … and worse.

Donald Trump: Media Are 'Scum'

Donald Trump says the media are not doing a good job of covering his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, lashing out at them during a Monday rally in Atkinson, N.H., The Hill reports.

"The press has a lower approval rating than Congress," Trump told they crowd. "They’re scum. They're horrible people. They are so illegitimate. They are just terrible people."

Trump immediately backtracked a bit, sounding a little like his June announcement speech where he railed against Mexico sending it's criminal element into the United States before adding, "some, I assume, are good people."

Michael Savage Compares Black Lives Matter to Nazis, 'Obama's Private Army'

Conservative radio-talk star Michael Savage has launched a blistering attack of "Black Lives Matter," charging the activist group that targets what it says is police brutality against African Americans is the equivalent of Adolf Hitler's brutal "Brownshirt" enforcers.

And, Savage tells "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV, the group acts as President Barack Obama's "secret private army" in pushing his radical liberal agenda on the nation.

"The Black Lives Matter movement, and I'm going to say it like it is, are Obama's shock troops. They're the brown shirts that Hitler had in Germany. How's that? Does that work for you?'' said Savage, author of "Government Zero: No Borders, No Language, No Culture," published by Center Street.

Breaking: Hundreds of Students Walk out in Protest Over Officer who was Fired

Amazing. People who were actually at the incident support the officer. It’s almost like cops are not out to get you and they are good people who put their lives on the line to make people safe.

It’s a shame this cop will now have to live the rest of his life viewed as a bigot by liberals and race-baiters. The media is of course largely responsible for how quickly they make things like this spiral out of control, but let’s not kid ourselves, that’s their goal. They certainly never played the other angle of this video that shows the cop acting like anyone in his situation would, after she tried to punch him.

From the Daily Beast via Weasel Zippers:

Hundreds of students walked out of Spring Valley High School in Columbia, South Carolina on Friday morning in support of the deputy sheriff who was fired after violently arresting a black student. Students reportedly chanted “Free Fields” in support of Ben Fields, a school resource officer and football coach who was caught on tape forcibly removing a black student from her desk, allegedly because she was disrupting class. The students walked into the school atrium and then returned to class after administrators addressed them.

Amish Man With No Photo ID Suing Over Denial Of Gun Permit

Well, now, this is an interesting case, and brings up a different issue

(Daily Caller) An Amish man filed a federal suit in Pennsylvania last week because he was not allowed to purchase a gun without proper photo identification, according to The Washington Post.

In the Amish tradition, practicing members cannot have their photo taken. According to the suit, Andrew Hertzler, the plaintiff, “has a sincerely held religious belief that prevents him from knowingly and willingly having his photography taken and stored.”

The case, as The Post points out, highlights the tension between the Second Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) of 1993, which was established to avoid cases such as this. Hertzler, in order to enjoy his Second Amendment rights, would have to violate his faith.

“The exercise of one Constitutional right cannot be contingent upon the violation or waiver of another,” the suit reads.

Mr. Hertzler again attempted to purchase a firearm over the summer, using a government issued non-photo ID, and was again told “no”, because a photo ID was required. So, her reached out to Senator Pat Toomey, who checked with BATF

Toomey heard back from the ATF and sent Hertzler the following response: “As the enclosed response [from the ATF] states, Federal firearm laws require photo identification when purchasing a firearm.There are no exceptions to this federal requirement.”

Wake Up America: Democrats at War with We the People

Please forgive me for sounding like a doting dad, but I was blessed to watch my adult daughter play in the softball world series. I beamed with pride as the outfielders backed up when she came to bat. However, what I am about to report will further entrench me as a traitor in the minds of other blacks in my family.

My wife Mary alerted me to the latest horrific incidents of the Knockout Game that were ignored by the mainstream media. In New Jersey, a black thug knocked out an unsuspecting,defenseless white woman. In Baltimore, 50 black teens almost beat a 61-year-old white man to death. And yet, race is the first thing out of reporters’ mouths in those rare incidences in which whites assault blacks. Stats show that blacks assault whites far more than vice versa.

I am the first to say all people are solely responsible for their behavior. However, I see these black assaults on whites as the fist of the Democratic Party punching out innocent whites – the hand of the Democratic Party pulling the trigger assassinating police officers across America.

Democrats with MSM assistance have successfully convinced many black youths to believe that white America is a collection of racist murderers and responsible for all of black America’s woes. This Democrat-media insidious lie has caused black youths to feel morally justified in punishing their white nemesis.

Few people realize that the Democratic Party is at war with America. Yes, I am unequivocally saying everything the Democratic Party does is an attack on traditional morals and values. The party leadership is repulsed by our God-given freedom and rights written in the Constitution. Due to his radical education and perverted view of morality, President Obama believes that the world has too little because America has too much. He is using his presidency to dethrone America as the world power.

From the Oval Office to numerous corrupted liberalism-infected government agencies, Democrats arrogantly bully and govern with an iron fist against the will of a majority of Americans. In essence, the Obama regime gives the American people the finger daily.

‘Duck Dynasty’ Star STICKS IT to Liberals – You’ll Love This

On the Fox Business Channel, ‘Duck Dynasty’ star Willie Robertson recently made a bold statement that has liberals fuming.

Robertson said:

What is this country coming to where the coach out in Washington can’t say a prayer [and] is going to get fired.

I’m kind of with the Founding Fathers of the country, who were strong believers that this whole country was founded on our Christian faith. They didn’t shy away from it, I won’t shy away from it. If you get fired you get fired. Some things are worth losing your job over.

PRMC To Pay $2.9 Million

Nearly 500 Hospitals Pay United States More Than $250 Million to Resolve False Claims Act Allegations Related to Implantation of Cardiac Devices

The Department of Justice has reached 70 settlements involving 457 hospitals in 43 states for more than $250 million related to cardiac devices that were implanted in Medicare patients in violation of Medicare coverage requirements, the Department of Justice announced today.

“While recognizing and respecting physician judgment, the department will hold accountable hospitals and health systems for procedures performed by physicians at their facilities that fail to comply with Medicare billing rules,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Benjamin C. Mizer, head of the Justice Department’s Civil Division. “We are confident that the settlements announced today will lead to increased compliance and result in significant savings to the Medicare program while protecting patient health.”

An implantable cardioverter defibrillator, or ICD, is an electronic device that is implanted near and connected to the heart. It detects and treats chaotic, extremely fast, life-threatening heart rhythms, called fibrillations, by delivering a shock to the heart, restoring the heart’s normal rhythm. It is similar in function to an external defibrillator (often found in offices and other buildings) except that it is small enough to be implanted in a patient’s chest. Only patients with certain clinical characteristics and risk factors qualify for an ICD covered by Medicare.

Lois Lerner and the Rule of Lawlessness

Our governmental system, checked by Constitutional limits and balanced through the setting of different branches and levels of government at odds with one another, is supposed to ensure the rule of law prevails over the historical norm – the rule by man. The latter refers to the arbitrary rule of monarchs and other unaccountable governments that have defined the vast majority of human history up until America’s founding, which represented a marked departure from the past. Sadly, that event is looking increasingly like a blip, rather than an irreversible turning point.

In a Friday news dump, Obama’s Justice Department announced that following its “investigation,” Lois Lerner will not be charged for any wrongdoing in the case of the IRS’ targeting of conservative organizations. The law, apparently, is only meant for little people.

Previously, a Bipartisan Senate Finance Committee report found that: “Due to the circuitous process implemented by Lerner, only one conservative political advocacy organization was granted tax-exempt status between February 2009 and May 2012. Lerner’s bias against these applicants unquestionably led to these delays, and is particularly evident when compared to the IRS’s treatment of other applications…”

Tellingly, the Committee concluded that: “The IRS’s treatment of these organizations was almost universally consistent with Lerner’s personal political views – this is, supporting Democratic candidates and opposing conservative tax-exempt organizations that engaged in political speech. Conservative organizations that sought to participate in the nation’s political discourse, such as the Tea Party, drew the strongest ire from Lerner.”

She knew what she was doing at the time. Lerner wrote of “cautioning folks about email,” and the need to “be cautious about what we say in emails,” in anticipation of future congressional interest. When told that conversations on OCS – an instant-messaging system used by the IRS – were not searchable, she responded, “Perfect.”

At every stage of the investigation, Lerner stonewalled and obstructed. She repeatedly misled Congress with false testimony and destroyed evidence to prevent discovery of her wrongdoing.

No Happy Ending in Obamanomics

Despite the prognostications of those who have been saying since 2009 that the economy is “finally” on the mend, there is very little data to support the contention. Quite the contrary: There is a lot of data to support the idea that we have an economy that has had no development in either plot or character for two decades.

Periodically I trot out the numbers— unemployment, jobs, GDP, CPI— and discuss the cold, hard facts that liberals and central bankers (same-same) refuse to face: This economy does not reflect either the traditional strengths or the historical resilience of the American economic system. I get tired of this exercise, however, because the story hasn’t changed much in 20 to 30 years, and the liberals— both Dems and GOP— who created the mess won’t change policies, laws or expectations to set things right.

But there is a set of experts who refuse to be duped.

These are experts who’s very livelihood is dependent on being in touch with the real economy in a way that means dollars-and-cents every day. Specially I’m talking about those investors who trade the ten-year U.S. Treasury note.

As the benchmark note for interest rates, the direction on the ten-year Treasury for the last ten years tells a very bad story. It’s a story that has not yet had a happy ending. It’s a story that’s still a cliffhanger, like a false ending in a Die Hard movie, where the bad guy isn’t dead yet, but everyone thinks he is. But unlike a Hollywood drama, this story is not going by the script, and no matter how many rewrites happen, there is a lot of telling detail that says we could face another financial mass casualty event.

“If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on a wall,” said the Russian novelist and playwright Anton Chekov, “in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it’s not going to be fired, it shouldn’t be hanging there.”

Let’s look the gun that so obvious to Treasury traders.
