Speaking of stealing. The Obama Administration just gave another Billion dollars to Iran. Never a dull moment in Obamaland.

Our Congress is not being held accountable by the people. It's easy to get them voted in, much harder to get them out. Starting on May 26th, the Political group "Term Limits", will start start petitioning all 50 states to use article 5, to impose term limits on the U.S Congress.

A perfect example of the no compromise Lefties, is the Keystone pipeline. A billionaire environmentalist has stalled the Keystone pipeline, based on his donation of $100 million dollars to support the Dem's in the upcoming Mid-terms. There is no sound reason not to proceed with the pipeline. Obama put it on hold, indefinitely.

Bi-Partisanship requires a President that can stand up and be a man. Our current President has shown that he is nothing but a liar and a snake, even though the Right has tried to work with him, and they ended up getting burned. He has one ideal, and that is his own. It is President's like Obama, who only want to divide this country, create separation, and racial tension, and use that to advance the Loony left ideals. Obama does not compromise. Those on the Right know this, and that is why they will not compromise either, with the possible exception of the RINO's. Compromise and progression are fine, as long as it benefits the entire nation, and not just the elite Liberal idealists, who are only in it for power, money, and control. Washington D.C is a political cesspool of, corruption, glad handing, and back room deals. Nothing but a legalized Mafia, and Obama is the current ring leader. All the taxpayers are, is the key to the money train. Until the time comes where we take the power away from the abusers, we will never see any change. It will only get worse, especially if the Democrats remain in control. This country was founded as a Republic. The Republican party is far from perfect, but I support the RNC, because it better serves my values as a conservative, and a freedom loving Patriot. The best place to start is to install term limits for members of Congress. Keep the career, self serving Politicians, from gaining a long term advantage. Too many men with good intentions end up getting sucked into the vortex of corruption that is Washington D.C

The ironic thing about slavery, and racism? Slavery was abolished by Abraham Lincoln, a republican President. The Democrats wanted to keep control of the slaves. The Race baiters of this nation have long forgotten that fact. The very people in this country who are always crying "Race", are the biggest racists of all. The Democrats have made us all "Slaves", just in a different context then 2 centuries ago.

Just wait and see how much. race baiting , and demonizing, the Democrats will incite, leading up to the mid-terms. Harry Reid has already started it.

One of the positive outcomes created by the elite dictator society, is that many Americans are waking up, and taking notice. There will be point in time, where the frogs decide to jump out of the boiling pot, and join the fight. (Hopefully) and then there are those who will always remain......blind sheep. The biggest long term, negative cause and effect, in our society, is the liberal schools, and Colleges. They are indoctrinating people into the Liberal mindset at an alarming rate. Do anything remotely conservative, or religious, and they kick you out. It is no longer a free thinking and unbiased education system. The Loony Liberal left, have become masters at exploiting the system. Especially the media. I realize the Republicans have a bunch of Jackwagons in power also, but if the RNC doesn't get their act together, this country, and our way of life, is doomed.

Absolutely right. Just another way for big brother to get his hands on the cash stash.

The government debated healthcare act started out the same way in Washington. It is now a law that forces us to buy sketchy health insurance, or pay the piper, one way or another. Forced Government retirement accounts......coming soon to a Political theater near you. Guaranteed. The Fed's also need something to help pay for all the underfunded pensions. They will do it on our dime. They will form another agency funded by taxpayers, and the giant Federal monster will keep on growing,and feeding, off the blood of the taxpayer. How does the Federal government expect us to save in a retirement account , if a majority of their target audience lives. paycheck to paycheck? Especially if tax increases outnumber cost of living raises.? Personally, I don't even worry about myself. I am over 50, and lost everything in the recession of 2008. I will never get that back. what I lost, plus a savings account, and social security, would have got me through my Golden years. Unless I win the lottery, my retirement outlook is pretty bleak.

Seizing may not be the correct overall word, but It is a form of seizure if it becomes law. Just like Obamacare holding the the healthcare system hostage. Buy it, or get fined by the IRS. This is about a matter of choice, and not having the Fed's ram another law down our throats, and manipulate the retirement accounts of Americans. I don't want the Fed's in control of my money, or my life .....PERIOD. A lot of folks feel the same way. If low income people would benefit from MYRA, fine, let them have at it. Or anyone else that may be interested in it At least give the rest of us the choice of opting out, without being penalized by big brother

Haven't you heard? King Obama, and Den Mother Michelle, think they know what's best for us and our children. Washington D.C, is control freak central. President proposes T-bills for IRA and 401(k)s (Tea Party) – Anytime you hear the government say they want to help you manage your retirement savings , run in the other direction. WND reported that the Obama administration had been looking for a creative way to finance the trillion dollar annual budget deficits. One of the creative solutions was to force private citizens who hold IRA and 401 (k) accounts to purchase Treasury bonds by mandating that government-structured annuities be placed in their retirement accounts. It was also reported that hearings were held jointly by the US Department of Labor and the Treasury Department to determine whether government lifetime annuity options funded by US Treasury debt should be required for IRAs, 401 (k)s and other private retirement accounts. Now those “creative solutions” for snatching US citizens dollars are drawing closer. President Obama just announced in his State of the Union address that there is a new initiative to allow first-time savers to build their savings in Treasury Bonds. Eventually these bonds would be converted to traditional IRAs and 401(k)s. This new retirement savings plan is for those workers whose employers do not offers IRAs or 401(k) plans. It may not be as burdensome as demanding a select percentage be invested in US Treasury bonds but it is clearly a step in that direction by the Obama administration. Why are they making this move? With the enormous federal budget deficits the Obama administration has run up—about $1 trillion dollars every year since 2009—and the Federal Reserve announcing the “tapering” of Quantitative Easing by buying $10 billion a month less in government debt every month this year until QE hits zero, well, someone has to pay for it by buying all the Treasury debt Obama and his administration plan to issue. Where do they look? To the people naturally. Americans have put $19.4 trillion into retirement savings and that seems like ripe pickings by the government. In January 2013 the US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau suggested it should help Americans manage those trillions. “That’s one of the things we’ve been exploring and are interested in terms of whether and what authority we have,” said bureau director Richard Cordray in an interview with Bloomberg. The Treasury and Labor departments, under the direction of the Obama White House, have increasingly pushed for this type of investment theory. This is because government bonds carry a sovereign guarantee against default. Therefore, funds from a 401(k) or an IRA placed in a Treasury R-Bond would for the most part be considered a government annuity. That annuity would pay the person retiring a lifetime income, no matter how the stock market or bond market performs independently. And the government’s argument? Investors in IRAs and 401(k) plans lost principal from their retirement savings when the housing bubble burst and the Dow plummeted from a high of 14,164.53 in 2007 to a closing low of 6,547.05 in March 2009. According to Fidelity Investments, estimated average fund balances in 401(k)s in the approximately 11 million accounts the firm manages dropped from $69,200 at the end of 2007 to $47,500 at the end of March 2009. But when the stock market rally began in March 2009, the account balances of those Fidelity 401(k)s increased 28 percent. The average account balance at the end of the third quarter 2009 was $60,700—up from the low of $47,500 at the end of the first quarter 2009. Most IRA and 401(k) investors have registered substantial gains with the Dow in an extended rally since 2009, going up over 16,000 points. But if the stock market should tank again, anyone with retirement savings in IRSs, 401(k) plans invested in the stock market could take a huge hit and it could take years to recoup the losses. Could the US follow Argentina’s failing path? Sadly, those saving for retirement in other nations that carry high debt who have insisted that such savings be put into government debt have fared very poorly. They took huge losses as the debt crises in these nations worsened and bond markets began selling the debt at serious discounts. In October 2008, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, business and economics editor for the Telegraph of London warned that G7 nations may begin following Argentina in forcing privately managed pension funds to be invested in government-issued debt. He specifically included the United States in his statement. Those private pensioners in Argentina holding government debt in their retirement accounts could not be assured that those bonds would have any meaningful value at their maturity since the Argentine peso was devalued to 29 cents on the dollar. “Here is a warning to us all,” wrote Evans-Pritchard. “The Argentine state is taking control of the country’s privately managed pension funds in a dramatic move to raise cash.” He warned that the G7 states “are already acquiring an unhealthy taste for the arbitrary seizure of private property, I notice.” “It is a foretaste of what might happen across the world as governments discover that tax revenue,” he continued. The Obama administration is desperately trying to find additional ways to sell government dept cheaply and not raise interest rates since the Treasury needs another $1.4 to $1.5 trillion in new debt to finance the anticipated budget deficit. Poland confiscated one-half of all its citizens’ private pensions in a effort to cut the nation’s debt, according to a September 2013 report in WND. At that same time Reuters also reported that the Polish Prime Minister, Donald Tusk announced that the government decided to transfer to ZUS, the government pension system, all bond investments in privately owned funds within the state guaranteed system. The Polish government has – for the time being – allowed private citizens to keep equity investments in the state guaranteed pension system that are approximately half of all the private pension investments. The change will reduce Polish national debt to about 8 percent of the gross domestic product, according to Polish Finance Minister Jacek Rostowski , and allow the government to resume another round of debt creation by borrowing in international markets. By nationalizing the bonds held by Polish citizen private retirement accounts—or confiscating as the case may be—the government can circumvent two threshold restrictions that deter it from allowing debt to head up over 50 percent of GDP. A second threshold kicks in when Polish national debt reaches 55 percent of GDP. This shifting of bonds held in private retirement accounts into ZUS means the government can book the assets on the state balance sheet to offset public debt. This move allows the government to borrow and spend more, reports Reuters. As is becoming all too familiar in the European Union, Poland is dealing with slowing economic growth, a poor job market and declining tax revenues. The country has been forced to borrow to maintain its large social welfare system without imposing austerity measures. Shock and dismay was the international reaction in the private investment market. Poland’s plan comes after a similar move by the Mediterranean island of Cyprus where the government confiscated 10 percent of the amount in all bank accounts in an attempt to raise 6 billion Euros. This was done to meet a condition set by international bankers and the International Monetary Fund to finalize a Eurozone bailout. - See more at: http://www.teaparty.org/obama-1-step-closer-seizing-retirement-accounts-33770/#sthash.3asS1OvB.dpuf

Amen brother! Justice Roberts is a traitor, and sold us down the Liberal river without a paddle. I wonder what he see's in the mirror every morning?

There is no data to support which phone would be a teachers. Only a guess. If the picture was taken with your camera phone, then yours wouldn't be in the box. If all students give up there device before testing, then 14 of the 22 students are taking the test. Based on all students having a phone, and everyone following the rules, and handing over their phones. If all 22 students are taking the test, then the missing 8 phones maybe the ones that got taken away, or they simply don't have one. Maybe the,14 of 22, students phones in the box are the ones involved in extra curricular activity? But extra curricular activity does not mean that those who may not have a phone, are not participating? "This is not a timed test, if you cannot finish this test in the given time period you will be given additional time to finish the test but it must be finished by the end of the day." This statement does not make sense.There is no given time period.Only that it needs to be completed by the end of the day. Is that the end of the school day, or the end of the day 12:00 midnight?

Sounds good to me.

I'm not sure what is considered average, but I get approximately 18% total taxes deducted from my checks. I get a refund this year. But not big a big one.

There goes snapshot- you are your offensive, off-color remarks hahaha sorry I had too..... Thank you. I'll be here all week.

And now the IRS is seizing our tax refunds, based on taxes owed by Deceased parents. Congress secretly lifted the 10 year statute of limitations law. Pay taxes when your dead.. Only in America.

The Air Force Thunderbirds have arrived. They are screaming over the top of Tucson. They did not fly last year, due to Political B.S, but I am happy to see them back. What I wouldn't give for a ride in one of these Bad Boy's.

I use to have a shop down by TEP. Had good views of the show.
