Monster Storms ’Scour’ Midwest; More on the Way, Says Weather Service
At least two people were killed and 20 injured in Oklahoma as a severe storm system generated several tornadoes Sunday in Kansas, Oklahoma and Iowa, leveling neighborhoods and sending frightened residents scurrying for shelter as extreme conditions are expected to linger across the Midwest.
The tornadoes, high winds and hail were part of a massive, northeastward-moving storm system that stretched from Texas to Minnesota.
Victims and emergency responders might not get much of a reprieve, as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Storm Prediction Center was forecasting similar weather for Monday over much of the same area.
A storm spotter told the National Weather Service that the tornado "scoured" the landscape in the park and an area along Interstate 40. Officials said drivers should expect delays along the highway in Shawnee as crews continue to clean up storm debris. Westbound Interstate 40 was closed Sunday night at U.S. 177 after storms ripped through the area. U.S. 177 was also shut down because of vehicle accidents caused by the severe weather.
Violent thunderstorms were forecast to hit the central United States on Monday, threatening to bring additional hail, heavy rain and tornadoes to the region stricken by a deadly twister during the weekend.

SAY 'NO' TO A 'TRIO OF TYRANTS' OVERSEEING OBAMACARE
From the Desk of:
Mat Staver
Mat Staver
The implementation and enforcement of ObamaCare promises to become the most intense assault on the rights of Americans in the history of our nation. President Obama has carefully chosen the most radical of radicals to run the agencies responsible for the enforcement of ObamaCare’s outrageous mandates.
Against the backdrop of increasing scandal in and around the Obama administration, it is vitally important that we not be distracted from stopping the creation of the machinery that leftists hope to use to install Big Government tyranny over the American people. Please see my important update below – Mat.
Conservatives,
If confirmed as Secretary of Labor, Thomas Perez will be responsible for enforcing the “employer mandate” of ObamaCare.
Thomas Perez, strongly anti-business and maniacally pro-union, will be forcing businesses into compliance with ObamaCare’s many mandates in the workplace.
In the role of one of ObamaCare’s chief enforcement officials, Perez will be working in tandem with the IRS’ ObamaCare enforcement division – now headed by Sarah Hall Ingram.
Ingram, of course, is the Internal Revenue Service official who was in charge of IRS tax-exempt credentialing at the time the unit targeted tea party, conservative, pro-life, and religious groups. Now she has been promoted to head up the IRS ObamaCare compliance and penalty enforcement division!
Both the IRS and the Department of Labor will be closely coordinating with the Department of Health and Human Services, the central and dominant ObamaCare agency, under the direction of HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

OBAMA KNEW ABOUT THE IRS TARGETING CONSERVATIVES! HE LIED YET AGAIN!
Grassfire Update:
Dear Conservatives,
Already being called "Obama's Watergate," the White House emphatically told reporters "they had no idea" that the IRS was targeting conservative, evangelical and pro-Israel groups and that they "absolutely did not" have any communications with the agency about it.
With skepticism thick on Capitol Hill, Rep. Rob Portman (R-OH), told CBS News that an "appointment of a special counsel ... independent of the White House is necessary." He added, "There's a lot of issues here we need to get to the bottom of. We need to find out what really happened and ensure that we can begin to regain some trust in our government.”

Just like they did with the Benghazi terror attacks, reports indicate the Obama administration sought to hide the IRS scandal so it wouldn't hurt the President's re-election bid.
An anonymous Cincinnati IRS official told The Washington Post, "Everything comes from the top. We don’t have any authority to make those decisions without someone signing off on them. There has to be a directive.”

| IRS Criminals “More heads need to roll.” Those were the words of Florida Representative Vern Buchanan after IRS Commissioner Steve Miller announced on Wednesday evening that he is stepping-down. If Obama thinks that one man’s resignation will “fix” the IRS and its unconstitutional attacks on the First Amendment, he is wrong. We know that Miller’s dismissal was simply an act of theatrics – Obama’s cheap appeasement offering – because we know that Miller was planning on exiting the IRS long before this scandal ever came to the surface. The simple fact is this: a scandal this big is not the result of one or two persons – it is the result of the collaborative efforts of many of the Internal Revenue Service’s employees. Read More |

ETHANOL MUST BE REMOVED FROM OUR ENERGY USES
Dear Concerned Citizen:
This year, we could hit a wall—the ethanol "blendwall." This is the point at which fuel manufacturers could be forced to use more than 10% of ethanol in your vehicle's fuel.
The Renewable Fuel Standard was passed by Congress to increase the nation's use of biofuels. This standard mandated that gradually increasing amounts of biofuels be blended into gasoline and diesel. However, when they set this arbitrary amount, they didn't realize that the amount of gasoline and diesel we are using is steadily decreasing. In short, there is not enough gasoline and diesel to absorb the biofuel.
Time is running out. Tell Congress to do a "U-turn" and repeal the Renewable Fuel Standard before we hit the ethanol blendwall.
Failure to repeal the Renewable Fuel Standard this year will create big problems for consumers like you:

TEXAS - CSCOPE LESSON PLANS DUMPED! A VICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE!

BREAKING: CSCOPE LESSON PLANS TO BE DUMPED IN TEXAS -- 5.20.13
BREAKING: CSCOPE LESSON PLANS TO BE DUMPED IN TEXAS -- 5.20.13
[5.20.13 – 10:00 A.M. – Texas Sen. Dan Patrick has just announced that TESCCC/CSCOPE lesson plans are no more! This is a great victory for our Texas public school children, and there are many people to thank for the huge effort it has taken to get to this point today.
These are my thoughts: It is my opinion that TESCCC/CSCOPE knew they were about to be audited based upon their document dump of 5,000 pages last Friday. TESCCC/CSCOPE knew that financial inconsistencies would be found and that they would be legally liable for the public funds involved. By getting out now, they believe they are spared possible litigation against them. My question: If I am right, will there be any legal repercussions?
One other question: We have been told that there is language in the TESCCC incorporation documents that says that if TESCCC should go defunct, the federal government would get the product? If this is true, will the CSCOPE lesson plans become a part of Common Core Standards? We know that in the past, Common Core made overtures to purchase TESCCC/CSCOPE.

GOP ponders how to capitalize on Obama's woes
CHARLES BABINGTON, AP

May 20, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) — The scandals dogging President Barack Obama are a political gift to Republicans, who could use some good luck after recent election losses. It's not clear, however, how Republicans can best capitalize on Democrats' woes, legislatively or politically.
Last November's election dynamics complicate the picture on both fronts. Republican leaders are urging a bit of restraint in exploiting the White House's new weaknesses.
Legislatively one of Obama's biggest second-term goals is to overhaul the nation's immigration laws, including a new pathway to citizenship for millions of people living here illegally. Many Republicans would like to deny him such a legacy-enhancing prize.
But GOP strategists say their party may need "immigration reform" more than Democrats do.
Hispanic voters overwhelmingly backed Obama in both his elections. The troubling trend for Republicans might worsen if they don't show greater interest in Latinos' concerns. For many, that includes major changes to immigration laws.

1. The tax reform moment
Rupert Murdoch took some heat for observing on Twitter, “Growing IRS scandal makes perfect case for flat tax and abolition all deductions. Nothing could be fairer and abuse free.”
Several responses took Murdoch to task because the abusive treatment of certain groups applying for tax-exempt status, based on their politics, doesn’t have any direct relationship with the progressive income tax system, or plans to replace it.
But if I might be a bit more charitable to Murdoch, I think he was trying to make the broader case that a Flat Tax system would greatly reduce the size and power of the IRS. If his suggestion is taken literally, and all deductions are abolished, it follows that no one would be applying for any sort of tax-exempt status at all. One of the complaints raised by the groups targeted in the IRS scandal is that it put them at a competitive disadvantage against liberal groups, which sailed right through the Tax Exempt Organizations unit and secured approval in a matter of weeks – even when they were actually violating tax law at the time, as in the case of the Barack H. Obama Foundation, run by the President’s half-brother. This isn’t just a scandal about those who were given a hard time; it’s also about those who weren’t. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
