Joke Of The Day: Threatening Letters
 |
The fellow stormed into the postmaster’s office in a fury. “I’ve been getting threatening letters in the mail for months and I want them stopped.”
“Of course,” said the postmaster. “Sending threatening letters through the mail is a federal offense. Do you know who’s sending them?” “Yes,” shouted the man. “It’s those idiots down at the Internal Revenue Service.”

Trump To Institute A FIVE YEAR Lobbying Ban On Members Of His Administration
Donald Trump is requiring anyone joining his administration to sign a form preventing him/her from being a lobbyist for FIVE YEARS after leaving!
This is the first shot in the war on Washington corruption. Wouldn’t you love to have a camera when Trump’s “Landing Teams” go to the various federal agencies, most importantly, the IRS, to clear out the cockroaches?
Donald Trump’s staff has announced a tough new anti-lobbying for all members of his transition team and all other officials who work for the President-elect.
People who work with Trump must sever all their ties to the lobbying industry, and they are not allowed to lobby on behalf of anyone for five years after they leave the Donald’s side.
The ban also applies to the transition team members charged with helping to find, vet and hire for the incoming Republican administration, Trump spokesman Sean Spicer said late Wednesday in New York.
Additionally, neither the transition advisers nor incoming officials are permitted to be registered federal or state lobbyists, Spicer said. He described the measures as helping to ensure people won’t be able to use government service ‘to enrich themselves.’
The Trump team did not explain how the ban would be enforced.
Trump also wants to ‘expand the definition of lobbyist so we close all the loopholes that former government officials use by labeling themselves consultants and advisers when we all know they are lobbyists.’
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Career Corrupt Politician) did not answer questions about the lobbying ban on Wednesday.
When he was asked by reporters, McConnell instead said he hopes legislators ‘address the real concerns of the American people’ rather than fixate on every utterance during the presidential contest.
However, the plan has been met with some criticism, with experts saying it will seriously impact Trump’s ability to get a capable team in place.
‘This will have a chilling effect on his hiring, no doubt,’ Paul Miller, who leads the National Institute for Lobbying and Ethics, said.
‘Most people who agree to government service want to go back into the private sector. We don’t want career politicians, and that’s what he could end up with.’
It is unclear how many of the thousands of people Trump is about to hire would be subject to his ban.
His proposal allegedly covers, ‘all executive-branch officials,’ but in practice he may be referring only to Cabinet members and high-level White House officials.
If he pulls this off he could seriously be the greatest president this country has ever had!
Joke Of The Day: My Business
|
A father walks into the market followed by his ten-year-old son. The kid is spinning a 25-cent piece in the air and catching it between his teeth. As they walk through the market someone bumps into the boy at just the wrong moment and the coin goes straight into his mouth and lodges in his throat.
He immediately starts choking and going blue in the face and Dad starts panicking, shouting and screaming for help. A middle-aged, fairly unremarkable man in a gray suit is sitting at a coffee bar in the market reading his newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion he looks up, puts his coffee cup down on the saucer, neatly folds his newspaper and places it on the counter. He gets up from his seat and makes his unhurried way across the market. Reaching the boy (who is still standing, but only just) the man takes hold of the kid and squeezes gently but firmly. After a few seconds the boy coughs up the quarter, which the man catches in his free hand. The man then walks back to his seat in the coffee bar without saying a word. As soon as he is sure that his son was fine, the father rushes over to the man and starts effusively thanking him. The man looks embarrassed and brushes off the thanks. As he’s about to leave, the father asks one last question. “I’ve never seen anybody do anything like that before – it was fantastic – what are you, a surgeon or something like that?” “No” the man replies, “I work for the IRS, getting people to cough it up is my business.”

Why Trump?
Besides Fundamental Change, a Radical Ideology, Soft Tyranny, Corrupt Politicians, Socialized Medicine and a Government that no longer represents the people, here are just a few reminders of why people are pissed off enough to vote for Trump.
Less than 10 minutes after leaving to podium where he condemned the beheading of James Foley, Obama was seen fist-bumping on the golf course. “When people harm Americans, anywhere, we do what’s necessary to see that justice is done.”
“Why don’t we get a couple Marines — they’re going to look good next to us — just ’cause I’ve got a change of suit but I don’t know about, uh, our prime minister,” Obama said, requesting the umbrellas while he answered questions regarding the IRS scandal.
In a shocking display of fealty to a foreign ruler, Obama bowed to Saudi King Abdullah at the Group of 20 summit in London. Obama later said, “We have to change our behavior in showing the Muslim world greater respect.” Symbolism is important in world affairs. By bending over to show greater respect to Islam, Obama belittled the power and independence of the United States.
Nancy Pelosi and fellow radicals marched through the Tea Party protest on the way to the US Capitol to ram through ObamaCare against the will of the people.
Boehner was seen giving Pelosi a kiss on the cheek at a Rose Garden event, which Obama held to celebrate the $200 billion Medicare reform package deal that they personally helped negotiate. “I shouldn’t say this with John Boehner here, but that’s one way that this legislation builds on the Affordable Care Act,” Obama said, adding, “But let’s put that aside for a second.”
Bloody hand prints. The desperate final act of a dying American in Benghazi, Libya, is a perfect metaphor for the failed pro-Islamist foreign policy of Barack Hussein Obama. Obama’s Administration failed to warn the consulate of the pending attack, despite having actionable intelligence for 48 hours before the attack.
Ambassador Stevens seen either unconscious or already dead being dragged from the safe room at the Special Mission Compound. That very day, the official White House/State Department cover-up began and continues to this day.
Susan Rice’s repeated lies on national television blamed a YouTube video called “The Innocence of Muslims” for the terrorist attacks in Benghazi. Rice and company maintained throughout the fallout that her statements were based on the best available intelligence. Within hours, intelligence on the ground knew that this was a terrorist attack. At no point did the CIA connect even the early reports of protests with the YouTube video.
In a ceremony marking the U.S. return of the Benghazi victims’ bodies, both Obama and Clinton referred to the anti-Islam video, despite likely knowing the CIA’s conclusion that an al-Qaeda-linked group had pre-planned the attack.
During her testimony regarding the September 11th terrorist attack in Benghazi, Hillary got into a heated exchange with Republican Senator Ron Johnson after he questioned her about the Obama administration’s response to the attack. “With all due respect, the fact is we had 4 dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they’d go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again Senator.”
Donald Trump reached out and provided financial help to Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi after he was released from a Mexican jail in 2014, while Obama, on the other hand, didn’t even pick up the phone to help.
Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev killed three people and injured more than 260 others by setting off two pressure cooker bombs at the Boston Marathon in April 2013. Obama characterized the bombing attacks as “That was a serious attempt at killing a lot of people by two brothers and a crock pot”.
Obama, responded to the explosions with his typical line, saying that the United States does not know “who did this or why” but vowed that whoever is responsible “will feel the full weight of justice”.
Obama’s famous prisoner exchange… yet another act of Treason. All five of the detainees were deemed “high” risks to the US and its allies by Joint Task Force Guantanamo (JTF-GTMO). Two of the five, according to files prepared at Guantanamo, had been wanted by the UN for war crimes.
The sunglasses, the black outfit, and the lie Hillary uttered about wanting to use only one device being the reason for her home-brew email server were the reasons this photo was passed around.
The look on their faces reflected a perpetual sense of bored entitlement. It’s as though it was beneath them to be answering Congressional questions about unfairly targeting the Tea Party and Conservative groups. And don’t forget we had Lois Lerner along with her boss — Obama himself — saying “nothing wrong” was done and there “wasn’t a smidgen of corruption going on at the IRS.” It was profoundly obvious that it was a lie.
The picture of our sailors kneeling with their hands over their heads while Iranian soldiers held them hostage was a huge national embarrassment for America, and angered many of us.
Obama got caught in private conversation with a hot mic in South Korea, telling outgoing Russian president Dmitry Medvedev that Vladimir Putin should give him more “space” and that “after my election I have more flexibility.”
Obama: “On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved but it’s important for him to give me space.”
Medvedev: “Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you…”
Obama: “This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.”
Medvedev: “I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir, and I stand with you.”
Translated – Obama to Putin: I’ll surrender America after my re-election.
Progressive Obama stood near a massive mural of Ernesto “Che” Guevara, a faithful follower of Karl Marx, and solider feared by many for his brutality. Guevara personally oversaw the butchering of Cuba’s Catholics. He also helped train the Cuban soldiers who fought the U.S. during the Bay of Pigs invasion. After the battle Guevara wrote a note of “gratitude” to then President John F. Kennedy which read: “Thanks for Playa Giron [Bay of Pigs]. Before the Invasion, the revolution was shaky. Now it’s stronger than ever.”
“If someone wants to build a new coal-fired power plant they can, but it will bankrupt them because they will be charged a huge sum for all the greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.” ~ Obama, 2008.
Unlike his promises to close Guantanamo Bay, keep lobbyists out of the White House, and oppose an individual mandate for health insurance, at least we know that Obama was true to his word when he promised to bankrupt an entire industry that employs tens of thousands of Americans. Clearly Obama hates America!
Obama says ‘We don’t yet have a complete strategy’ to stop ISIS in Iraq.” That’s odd, he has a plan to import 30 million illegals. he has a plan to cover up Benghazi. He has a plan to destroy Christianity in America. He has a plan to destroy our health care. But… he doesn’t have a plan for the MAIN THING HE SHOULD BE DOING.
Sarah Palin was 100% right when she blasted Obama’s “weak leadership” on the situation in Ukraine, saying the perception of Obama across the globe is of a guy in “mom jeans.” “Look, the perception of Obama, of him and his potency across the world is one of such weakness.” “People are looking at Putin as one who wrestles bears and drills for oil. They look at our president as one who wears mom jeans and equivocates and bloviates.”
No wonder the world now looks to Russia for leadership. Putin comes from strong genes, Obama — he comes from mom jeans.
