Chris Brown Refuses To Remove Graffiti From House But It Is Going To Cost Him (Video)


R&B badboy Chris Brown is refusing to remove graffiti he spray painted on the wall outside his home, which is said to be scaring neighborhood children, as it contains three "devil" faces. When asked of his intentions regarding the graffiti, after being fined by the city, Brown cursed and said he is not removing it.


This could prove a costly decision, as interest and penalties continue to accrue on the fine. Once it reaches a certain threshold, the city can place a growing lien against his home, eating away at the equity contained in the property. I Brown chooses to sell the property in the future, the lien would have to be squared before the property could close in a real estate sale. Is this worth the chunk of change it could cost him in the long run. The answer is no.

President Obama Fires The Head Of The IRS For Targeting Conservatives (Video)

Oh, This Just Got Serious!


U.S. President Barack Obama has fired the head of the IRS, Steven Miller, over the current controversy, regarding the agency targeting conservatives based on political leanings. Obama fired IRS Acting Commissioner Steven Miller, regarding an upsetting scandal the Judiciary Report broke first, after being targeted by the agency, in conjunction with the FBI (The FBI And Ethics). The president branded the misconduct by select IRS employees "inexcusable." Congress is conducting its own review of the matter.

Due to items I wrote on the Judiciary Report, criticizing the government, my mother and I were audited three years in a row and sent a defamatory letter last year that brought the issue to a head, resulting in me informing the agency of my intent to sue to rectify the problem. Once again, the matter has since been resolved, the IRS retracted their claims and without litigation.

IRS targeted groups that criticized the government, IG report says

At various points over the past two years, Internal Revenue Service officials targeted nonprofit groups that criticized the government and sought to educate Americans about the U.S. Constitution, according to documents in an audit conducted by the agency’s inspector general.

The documents, obtained by The Washington Post from a congressional aide with knowledge of the findings, show that on June 29, 2011, IRS staffers held a briefing with senior agency official Lois G. Lerner in which they described giving special attention to instances where "statements in the case file criticize how the country is being run." Lerner, who oversees tax-exempt groups for the agency, raised objections and the agency revised its criteria a week later.

President Obama's Cancellation Of White House Tours Being Met With Criticism From Congress


Barack Obama

Angered by $85 billion dollars in government budget cuts , U.S. President Barack Obama has cancelled all White House tours that were available to the public. This unnecessary move has upset citizens and congresspeople alike. House Speaker John Boehner branded Obama's move inappropriate stating, "The President is trying to make it tough on members of Congress. It's just sick."

In response to the President's decision on this matter, congressman Louie Gohmert has proposed legislation which would, "Prevent any public funds from being used 'to transport the President to or from a golf course until public tours of the White House resume. We will be able to get the Democrats and the Republicans across America ... to get their tour of the White and all it will cost is one or two golf trips less.'"

Looks like the president has a fight on his hands. The Judiciary Report is not in agreement with the president's decision. Why punish the American people over his fight with Congress. Punishing the people is not a good political platform. It will be perceived as the equivalent of a rattle-throwing tantrum over not getting one's way.

The Government Needs To Cut The Defense Budget And Divert Funds Into Helping The Poor, Students In Need Of Scholarships And Small Businesses


Barack Obama

The U.S. government sequester threatening programs that benefit the poor, could have been easily resolved, had the defense budget been adequately cut. Other world nations have been cutting their defense budgets during the ongoing financial crisis, but the cuts suggests in Washington are paltry at best.

The real war in the world right now is an economic one and Washington is losing. Other emerging economies such as China, India and Brazil, have made great strides, while Washington continues to focus on military spending. Economic clout has surpassed military might in the world.

Money wasted by Washington on bloated defense budgets and the FBI illegally spying on hoards of citizens while its officials fly, work and live in luxury, could go to helping the poor in America, creating new scholarships to help the next generation of American business people compete in the world and to aid struggling small and mid-sized businesses. Taxpayer money is going to the wrong endeavors and it is weakening the country.

9-Year-Old Rapper Lil Poopy Raps About And Promotes Selling Cocaine Angering The Government (Video)

I've Seen It All Now!


Pint sized 9-year-old rapper, Lil Poopy, is causing controversy this week, as the tiny MC raps about cocaine, promoting the sale and distribution thereof, as a means of living in luxury. In his music video, Poopy is seen posing in luxury vehicles and slapping an adult, female stripper's backside. I kid you not. This marks a new low for the music industry.

 

Lil Poopy
Poopy (really, like poop) real name, Luie Rivera Jr., also goes by the moniker "Coke Boy" and "Cocaine Cowboy" a term coined to brand the drug dealers in Miami during the 1980s, responsible for flooding America with the illegal narcotic and driving up the murder rate.

 

Lil Poopy slapping a stripper's backside
Poopy appears on rapper French Montana's remix to the song "Pop That." Well, it looks like the government wants to "pop that" as in investigating and popping Poopy's father, to lock him up on child endangerment charges. Needless to say, this young boy is being raised in a unhealthy environment.

Obama And Congress Fighting Over Budget Cuts


Head of the Republican party, John Boehner and President Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama and his fellow Democrats in Congress have been sparing with the Republican party on the issue of spending cuts, set to take place on March 1, 2013 if an adequate deal is not reached. President Obama and his party are against the spending cuts.

While the Republican party are in favor of it, due to the state of the economy. The newest U.S. economic report reveals jobs losses once again. Americans are also spending less, as people simply do not have the cash to spare. Budget cuts demanded by the Republicans would be helpful. So would the tax increases sought by the Democrats. Things are very uneven in Congress with no workable compromise in sight. Congress can do better than this.
