New News 4-3-2015, Pg Va 1, 8: McAuliffe stonewalls Federal Ethics Investigators both by phone and Email.
The query appears to be an extension of the investor-visa program that the Homeland AIG described as having "an appearance of special access".
Isn't that what the McDonnell's were charged with? Did they have the "option" to opt-out of that investigation? Where is the DOJ and the Grand Jury?

Report cites favoritism for

“A Department of Homeland Security watchdog
report issued Tuesday blasted the agency’s No. 2 official for repeatedly
intervening on behalf of well-connected participants in an investor-visa
program, including Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D-Va.) and Tony Rodham, a brother of
former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
-
The inspector general report
faults Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas for creating
“an appearance of favoritism and special access” as a result of highly unusual
steps he took while serving as director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services, which oversaw the investment-based program known as EB-5.”

Roanoke Times, 3-26-2015, Pg
8: UVa president says ABC should focus
on sellers (of alcohol to underage students)
Establishments are the real
culprits, she said.
“I asked the governor back
in the fall to come and investigate the liquor establishments here because I was
concerned they were serving underage students,” Sullivan said.
-
So, the Governors sends his ABC
agents to check the bars and those entering them at the bequest of the UVa
President.
Ostensibly, they observed a
student being turned away from a bar after showing ID.
-
Good News: the bar
in-question was checking for the 21 year-old law.
Ostensibly, the ABC agents
approached the turned-away student to question him about the ID he had just
used to try to validate his age.
-
Bad News: ABC agents not OK
with students behavior when questioned.
-
Really Bad News: student
arrested and physically put down on ground and hand-cuffed.
-
Incredibly Bad News: Student
yells Racism, Media goes Postal, Governor sends ABC agents to remedial
racial-sensitivity class.
-
Let’s recap:
UVa President asks Governor
to check-up on liquor-serving establishments.
Governor sends State ABC
agents to do the check-up (it’s their job already).
Agents investigate what
appears to be real-time fake ID incident.
Agents arrest UVa student (a
male of color from Chicago
– why are we not surprised) for really bad behavior toward law enforcement
officers in the conduct of their duties.
UVa President, Governor and
Media all jump-on the ABC agents.
What’s wrong with this
picture?
-
Probable outcomes:
ABC agents get reprimanded.
UVa student to be coddled
(Bless His Heart!).
Beer Joints continue to be
on-guard for both tricksters and agents.
UVa President plays the
victim and continues to have job security.
Students over 21 continue to
buy beer by the case and share with all.
McAuliffe to be honored by
NAACP.

Gowdy: Clinton wiped email server clean, deleted all
emails
http://news.yahoo.com/gowdy-clinton-wiped-email-server-clean-deleted-emails-230702244--politics.html
-
The Lesson: It’s
better to obstruct justice by destroying potential evidence than it is to
comply with subpoenas and scrutiny.
-
Nixon did not wipe-clean the
Oval Office Audio Tapes and as a result, incriminating comments on the tapes
were used to force him from office.
-
Hillary apparently has wiped-clean
her server that she used for four years as Sec of State for all her Emails
personal and official.
No wonder she now is joking
about this in her quarter million dollar fund raising séances.
-
Apparently the only thing
left on her server is “the video” that caused Benghazi.
-
Bill also learned the same
lesson. He “recalled” all the gifts but
missed that “damn dress” fiasco.

Isn’t it fun getting back

Bergdahl charged with
desertion, could face life in prison
-
Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who
was “captured” by the Taliban after abandoning his post in Afghanistan and then freed five years later in a
controversial trade for five Guantanamo
detainees, was charged Wednesday with desertion.
U.S. Army Forces Command
announced the decision at Fort Bragg in North
Carolina.
He was charged with
misbehavior before the enemy, which carries a maximum sentence of up to life in
prison. He was also charged with desertion, which carries a maximum of five
years.

Bergdahl’s service as honorable and with

-
Ted Cruz announced, at Liberty University, that he is seeking the
Republican nomination for President.
-
Based on his TeaParty base,
it is appropriate that Cruz would come to Lynchburg,
the epicenter of the Virginia TeaParty Leadership, to make his announcement. Apparently Texas isn't Conservative enough.
-
Cruz did not highlight at
the announcement the recent Virginia
political outcomes resulting from the TeaParty Leadership’s take-over of the
Republican Party of Virginia RPV.
He didn’t mention that the Democrats
now have the Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General and both US
Senators.
-
Nor did he mention the
VaTeaParty Leadership’s successful political-assassination of Conservative
Republican Congressman Eric Cantor.
He also didn’t reveal the
current target list of other Republican Office holders who do not salute the
snake-banner nor swear allegiance to the TeaParty’s self-anointed Leaders. Apparently it’s not about being Conservative
enough or governing, it’s all about control and ideology.
-
Cruz joins his friend Santorum
and the other TeaParty Leadership entities whose claim to fame was using the
primary process to mortally wound the last two national Republican Tickets by
placing ideology above selecting candidates who can be elected and then
govern.
-
Cruz’s team is oblivious to
the reality that Republican Candidates must win the votes of almost all
Republicans, most Independents and many Regan-Democrats. Their mantra is “it’s my way or the highway”. The result is that Republican’s now sit on
the bleachers watching the Progressives control our government while we pay the
resultant taxes and endure the ever-increasing encroachment upon our freedoms.
-
It has been sad to watch a
once vibrant and successful Republican Party reduced to a few slogans,
bumper-stickers and snake-banners with the resultant loss of representation in
the political process.
There’s something sad about
self-inflected wounds and misdirected hostility! Especially when it benefits Obama, Reid,
Pelosi and the DNC!

Not a word about the 367
House lawmakers letter warning Obama on Iran!
Washington (CNN)A
veto-proof, bipartisan majority of House lawmakers have signed an open letter
to President Barack Obama warning him that any nuclear deal with Iran will
effectively require congressional approval for implementation.
http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/23/politics/house-letter-obama-iran/
-
What a change compared to
the other Obama tantrum over the letter 45 Senators sent to the Radical Muslim
Terrorist Ayatollah, highlighting that agreements are not treaty’s and the next
President will also have a pen and a cell-phone. Obama and his Pravda Press had tons to say
about that.
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2015/03/iran-and-righteous-indignation-of.html

In the meantime, Obama made
a pathetic video address to the people of Iran enlisting their support for a
nuclear-weapons agreement. Since when do
the people of Iran
have any say or influence on government policy or actions?
-
Didn’t see any headlines in
the Roanoke Times on the Ayatollah’s response to Obama’s cowering video:
Iran’s Supreme leader Ali Khamenei called for “Death to America” on Saturday, a day after President
Barack Obama
appealed to Iran to seize a “historic opportunity” for a nuclear deal and a
better future, and as US Secretary of State John Kerry claimed substantial
progress toward an accord.

With all due respect, and I

Our American FARMERS are

A very crisp view of many
people’s dim view of “some of the actions” by PETA and HSUS.
These organizations are often
quick to attack, with major media support, people and organizations who have a
major animal component within their scope.
It appears they have the idyllic
and very distorted view that things in the wild are nice and kind and that life
on the farm or in a zoo are not OK based on their very existence.
The facts in this particular
case are not yet clear. What is clear
that the Natural Bridge Zoo and it’s owners have been lynched in the press
without due process.

Why I am a Climate Change
Skeptic March 20, 2015
-
http://news.heartland.org/newspaper-article/2015/03/20/why-i-am-climate-change-skeptic
-
Editor’s Note: Patrick
Moore, Ph.D., has been a leader in international environmentalism for more than
40 years. He cofounded Greenpeace and currently serves as chair of Allow Golden
Rice. Moore received the 2014 Speaks Truth to Power Award at the Ninth
International Conference on Climate Change, July 8, in Las Vegas.
Click to Watch a video of his presentation
-
I am skeptical humans are
the main cause of climate change and that it will be catastrophic in the near
future. There is no scientific proof of this hypothesis, yet we are told “the
debate is over” and “the science is settled.”
-
My skepticism begins with
the believers’ certainty they can predict the global climate with a computer
model. The entire basis for the doomsday climate change scenario is the
hypothesis increased atmospheric carbon dioxide due to fossil fuel emissions
will heat the Earth to unlivable temperatures.
-
In fact, the Earth has been
warming very gradually for 300 years, since the Little Ice Age ended, long
before heavy use of fossil fuels. Prior to the Little Ice Age, during the
Medieval Warm Period, Vikings colonized Greenland and Newfoundland, when it was
warmer there than today. And during Roman times, it was warmer, long before
fossil fuels revolutionized civilization.
-
The idea it would be
catastrophic if carbon dioxide were to increase and average global temperature
were to rise a few degrees is preposterous.
Recently, the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) announced for the umpteenth
time we are doomed unless we reduce carbon-dioxide emissions to zero.
Effectively this means either reducing the population to zero, or going back
10,000 years before humans began clearing forests for agriculture. This
proposed cure is far worse than adapting to a warmer world, if it actually
comes about.
-
IPCC Conflict of Interest
By its constitution, the
IPCC has a hopeless conflict of interest. Its mandate is to consider only the
human causes of global warming, not the many natural causes changing the
climate for billions of years. We don’t understand the natural causes of
climate change any more than we know if humans are part of the cause at
present. If the IPCC did not find humans were the cause of warming, or if it
found warming would be more positive than negative, there would be no need for
the IPCC under its present mandate. To survive, it must find on the side of the
apocalypse.
The IPCC should either have
its mandate expanded to include all causes of climate change, or it should be
dismantled.
-
Political Powerhouse
Climate change has become a
powerful political force for many reasons. First, it is universal; we are told
everything on Earth is threatened. Second, it invokes the two most powerful
human motivators: fear and guilt. We fear driving our car will kill our grandchildren,
and we feel guilty for doing it.
-
Third, there is a powerful
convergence of interests among key elites that support the climate “narrative.”
Environmentalists spread fear and raise donations; politicians appear to be
saving the Earth from doom; the media has a field day with sensation and
conflict; science institutions raise billions in grants, create whole new
departments, and stoke a feeding frenzy of scary scenarios; business wants to
look green, and get huge public subsidies for projects that would otherwise be
economic losers, such as wind farms and solar arrays. Fourth, the Left sees
climate change as a perfect means to redistribute wealth from industrial
countries to the developing world and the UN bureaucracy.
-
So we are told carbon
dioxide is a “toxic” “pollutant” that must be curtailed, when in fact it is a
colorless, odorless, tasteless, gas and the most important food for life on
earth. Without carbon dioxide above 150 parts per million, all plants would
die.
-
Human Emissions Saved Planet
Over the past 150 million
years, carbon dioxide had been drawn down steadily (by plants) from about 3,000
parts per million to about 280 parts per million before the Industrial
Revolution. If this trend continued, the carbon dioxide level would have become
too low to support life on Earth. Human fossil fuel use and clearing land for
crops have boosted carbon dioxide from its lowest level in the history of the
Earth back to 400 parts per million today.
-
At 400 parts per million,
all our food crops, forests, and natural ecosystems are still on a starvation
diet for carbon dioxide. The optimum level of carbon dioxide for plant growth,
given enough water and nutrients, is about 1,500 parts per million, nearly four
times higher than today. Greenhouse growers inject carbon-dioxide to increase
yields. Farms and forests will produce more if carbon-dioxide keeps rising.
-
We have no proof increased
carbon dioxide is responsible for the earth’s slight warming over the past 300
years. There has been no significant warming for 18 years while we have emitted
25 per cent of all the carbon dioxide ever emitted. Carbon dioxide is vital for
life on Earth and plants would like more of it. Which should we emphasize to
our children?
-
Celebrate Carbon Dioxide
The IPCC’s followers have
given us a vision of a world dying because of carbon-dioxide emissions. I say
the Earth would be a lot deader with no carbon dioxide, and more of it will be
a very positive factor in feeding the world. Let’s celebrate carbon dioxide.

'60 Minutes' report accuses
Lumber Liquidators (Founded in Christiansburg
Va) of selling illegal flooring. Shares of Lumber Liquidators plunged more
than 25 percent Monday after a scathing “60 Minutes” report accused the company
of selling laminate flooring that contains high levels of formaldehyde.
The 13-minute segment Sunday
night claimed that hundreds of thousands of homes across the U.S. may have
flooring with formaldehyde levels that exceed regulatory standards.

Some folks in California made claims and filed a lawsuit that flooring
manufacturer Lumber Liquidators (Founded in Christiansburg Va)
were selling flooring that did not meet industry standards and could make
homeowners ill.
Simultaneously a ‘short-stock
seller’ (one who bets that a stock will drop in value) shorted Lumber
Liquidators. And also simultaneously, NBC’s 60-minutes jumped-in and did an expose
on the allegations with Righteous Condemnation of these bad business people who
are jeopardizing peoples health with malice aforethought.

The combined actions caused
a big decline in stock prices (making the short-seller a lot of money) and
initiated negative flooring sales and sparked regulatory actions against the
company.

After some floor-dust
settled it appears that the complainant’s noncompliance testing was in itself
in noncompliance with industry and regulatory testing standards.
The jury is still out on all
the details; however, it appears that the Stock Market now believes that this
was a “red herring” and perhaps is reminiscent of the NBC GMC Pick-up Truck gas
tank explosion debacle!

In that case NBC purposely “rigged” a
false test with false equipment and false explosives and then played on
national TV a devastating falsified video
of a horrific explosion and fire that maligned that model of GMC Pick-up
trucks.

And we though that only Pravda
did a lot of nasty things!
