The Dog Ate My Homework

By Tammy Derouin

This is absolutely unbelievable! I was all set to write about yet another outrageous action when I decided to check the news.  The Obama administration is getting desperate.  I really want to believe that the house of cards is finally beginning to collapse.  Every mind-blowing scandal in the past came with the hope that this would surly end Obama’s reign.  Sadly, the amount of corruption and deceit hasn’t outweighed the payoff.  The bling of entitlement programs has been his safety net.  Many Americans are still dazzled and therefore blinded by the magic show.  Endless free stuff is a wonderful distraction.

I envision a think tank where his partners in high crimes and sedition, manufacture lies and deception.  Their success rate is astonishing.  I sometimes wonder if they’re amazed they’ve gotten away with so much.  Every time we allow them to chip away at our liberty, we challenge and encourage them to do it again.  Do they anxiously wait to hear if the Americans have bought another excuse, another lie?  Are there high-five’s and congratulatory pats on the back when word arrives that yet another story was bought?  Do they celebrate with cigars, large drinks and high calorie food?   You know, all the stuff we’re told not to consume?   The elite must be immune to all the bad side effects.  After all, they only want to protect us.  They know best.

I’m curious, what took place which caused them to throw out such a whopper of a tale?  Did they hit a brick wall or did they intentionally want to see if we would fall for the excuse which teachers in their own unions won’t even buy?  Over the weekend, Congress and the rest of America was informed by the IRS that the dog ate their homework.  

We are told and expected to believe the powerful data collecting department of choice to enforce Obamacare, had a computer glitch.  The glitch just happened to affect Lois Lerner’s emails.  They all disappeared and therefore the IRS will not be able to turn them over to Congress, oops.

True to form, this information was released over the weekend.  The hope of course, is that few will notice.  By the time the news outlets report their desperate attempt to conceal evidence, it will be old news.  Someone will don the joker’s suit and proclaim it happened long ago.  There will be the inevitable distraction in an attempt to get the population to focus on something else.  The distractions are proving to be just as scandalous as the action it was meant to distract.  This is beyond insulting.

The administration has perfected its pattern.  It’s so obvious as they continue their agenda to fundamentally transform America.  They deploy a crisis, distract your attention, destroy part of our foundation, and repeat; deploy, distract, destroy, repeat!  Deploy, distract, destroy, repeat! 

I’m encouraged with this latest excuse.  The dog ate my homework should mean they’ve run out of viable options.  It’s also encouraging to see thousands upon thousands posting and re-posting stories of corruption.  Those willing to leave comments are not holding back.  I’m hopeful more Americans will see beyond the smoke and mirrors.  There is so much destruction taking place beyond the illusion.  Behind the curtain, a self-serving agenda is well under way.  Americans have become the target, the enemy of the federal government. 

Thankfully, this particular excuse is being criticized by many experts.  It’s also interesting that the IRS requires paper copies of all emails.  If paper copies weren’t kept on record, then there was a violation of IRS procedure.  Desperation may have come into play.  How else would you explain a federal agency claiming they lost all questionable emails?  The IRS isn’t exactly known for being sympathetic to individuals who can’t find a receipt.  Would they accept that the dog ate your receipts? 

The federal government has multiplied beyond sustainable control.  The NSA is collecting data on Americans by way of phone, email, GPS and every card you swipe.  They really expect us to believe the emails just disappeared?

My original focus was on something called Stingray technology.  According to the Associated Press, “The Obama administration has been quietly advising local police not to disclose details about surveillance technology they are using to sweep up basic cellphone data from entire neighborhoods.” As usual security is the excuse.  You will not look at cellphone towers the same way, should you decide to check into this for yourself.  I was also going to mention how the local police are beginning to look more like military units.  It begs the question, protect and to serve who?  See a connection?  Isn’t it obvious?
