First Grandma Marian Robinson to Receive Lifetime $160K Government Pension
By Lorne Armstrong – from The Boston Tribune News.  October 17, 2016

Washington D.C. – First Grandma Marian Robinson, 79, will receive a lifetime 160K government pension when she leaves the White House next year, according to congressional budget statements.

According to documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), Mrs. Robinson earned the lifetime pension for “services rendered as full-time/in-home caregiver” for granddaughters Malia, 18, and Sasha, 15, during President Obama’s two terms in office.

In January of 2009, it was reported that Mrs. Robinson was living in the White House full-time to tend to her granddaughters. She was the first live-in grandmother at the White House since Elivera M. Doud, the mother of Mamie Eisenhower, during the Eisenhower Administration.

Critics say Mrs. Robinson should not profit from something as simple as taking care of family. Sally Kellner, volunteer/activist for the National Taxpayers Union, says this is a prime example of needless spending. “I think it’s ridiculous that taxpayers must pay this woman a lifetime salary for something everyday Americans do for free. We take care of our families because we love them, not for profit.”

When asked if Mrs. Robinson’s lifetime pension was justified, Senator Mike Enzi (R-WY), Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, declined to comment but said a special oversight committee would review all post-Obama Administration budgetary obligations.

Before her son-in-law became President of the United States, Mrs. Robinson had never been abroad. Now, after almost eight years of being the nation’s Grandmother-In-Chief, she’s a seasoned world traveler who has, accompanied by her granddaughters, been to Senegal, Tanzania, China and Italy, where she even met the Pope.

“She’s been the rock of the family,” says Obama family friend and biographer Peter Slevin. “It’s been a real blessing for the girls (Malia & Sasha) to have their grandma with them during these formative years,” he said.

Shortly after the 2008 presidential election, President Obama called Robinson “One of the unsung heroes” of his campaign, and said, “We couldn’t have done it without her.” First Lady Michelle Obama has said that if Robinson had not been available to step in and watch over the girls, Obama might never have launched his campaign.

While holding no official job title, Mrs. Robinson likely qualified for her lifetime pension under the “optional” eligibility requirement for the Civil Service Retirement Act (CSRS).

Be sure to watch the other videos on YouTube (type in “Veritas Project” because this one is just the tip of the iceberg, and the other ones get into voting fraud and other matters.  All Christians, Catholics, Jews, Evangelicals, and Hispanics NEED TO KNOW THE TRUTH.

Don’t let Hillary Clinton and her minions destroy this country and get rid of our religious freedom, our right to life, and all of the rights found in the Bill of Rights and our Constitution.

The KKK was/is the terrorist wing of the Democrat Party.

“Our nation’s top historians reveal that the Democratic Party gave us the Ku Klux Klan, Black Codes, Jim Crow Laws and other repressive legislation which resulted in the multitude of murders, lynchings, mutilations, and intimidation (of thousands of black and white Republicans). On the issue of slavery: historians say the Democrats gave their lives to expand it, the Republicans gave their lives to ban it.

The 1964 Civil Rights Act Roll Call Vote: In the House, only 64 percent of the Democrats (153 yes, 91 no), but 80 percent of the Republicans (136 yes, 35 no), voted for it. In the Senate, while only 68 percent of the Democrats endorsed the bill (46 yes, 21 no), 82 percent of the Republicans voted to enact it (27 yes, 6 no).

Thaddeus Stevens, a Radical Republican that introduced legislation to give African Americans the so-called 40 acres and a mule and Democrats overwhelmingly voted against the bill.

During the Senate debates on the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, it was revealed that members of the Democratic Party formed many terrorist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan to murder and intimidate African Americans voters. The Ku Klux Klan Act was a bill introduced by a Republican Congress to stop Klan Activities.

History reveals that Democrats lynched, burned, mutilated and murdered thousands of blacks and completely destroyed entire towns and communities occupied by middle class Blacks, including Rosewood, Florida, the Greenwood District in Tulsa Oklahoma, and Wilmington, North Carolina to name a few.

History reveals that it was Abolitionists and Radical Republicans such as Henry L. Morehouse and General Oliver Howard that started many of the traditional Black colleges, while Democrats fought to keep them closed. Many of our traditional Black colleges are named after white Republicans.

After exclusively giving the Democrats their votes for the past 25 years, the average African American cannot point to one piece of civil rights legislation sponsored solely by the Democratic Party that was specifically designed to eradicate the unique problems that African Americans face today.

As of 2004, the Democrat Party (the oldest political party in America) has never elected a black man to the United States Senate, the Republicans have elected three.”

NOTE:  Bill Clinton made insensitive ‘race jab’ about Obama in 2008, only days before he (Kennedy) would nominate Barack Obama for re-election (trying to get the support for his wife, Hillary)  reports claims that former President Bill Clinton said of him (Obama): “A few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags.” (There is a contradiction if Bill Clinton used the word “bags” or “coffee”). After Kennedy sided with Obama, Clinton reportedly griped, “the only reason you are endorsing him is because he’s black. Let’s just be clear.”

NOTE: Upon Senator Byrd’s death in 2010, Hillary Clinton heaped praise upon the ex-Klansman, calling him a “friend and mentor.”  Mentor – the same admiration Hillary and Nancy Pelosi used to describe their feelings about winning the Margaret Sanger Award, a woman who was known to work with the Ku Klux, Klan to rid the United States of blacks.

She (Sanger) wrote to Gamble, “We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population…by the late 1940s, she spoke about ways to solve the “Negro problem” in the United States. Describing blacks as “weeds”, “feebleminded”, and “unfit”.

Many African American women have been subject to non consensual forced sterilization. Some did not even know that they were sterilized until they tried, unsuccessfully, to have children. In 1973, Essence Magazine published an expose of forced sterilization practices in the rural South, where racist physicians felt they were performing a service by sterilizing black women without telling them.”

Every major city that is plagued with crime, poverty, plight, drugs, unemployment, and horrible education is and has been led by the democratic party for decades upon decades, while all the time adding more abortion mills in them and backing Planned Parenthood for their help, and then using lies to blame everything on the republican party.  IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP AMERICA!

Las Vegas Proves the Corruption in Politics and the Media

Angie Morelli is much more than an activist, “she is a true leader with a vision of inclusion and a true commitment to the under-represented and under-served….She has shown character, integrity and compassion throughout this process and has schooled many, especially those who continue to underestimate her”,  as stated by her followers.

I know most people that visit my blog are Republicans because of my strong stance on pro-life, but don’t think for a moment that this same thing isn’t happening on both sides of the fence. Look how Romney and others are working hard to get a third party candidate and refusing to live up to their pledge to endorse whoever wins (if they can’t keep their word in this instance, than why should we believe anything they have to say), to spend their money on PACs against Trump, or the back door meetings of Cruz and Kasich to stop Trump from getting the 1237 delegates he needed. The crowds that Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump get are the voices that want to be heard, and despite the differences in ideology, they both want campaign contribution reforms, and they both want to stop TPP, and they both are in favor of our gun rights, and we have to keep trying because it is time for people to fight the establishment.  Is it easy, ABSOLUTELY NOT, when we are dealing with an establishment on both sides of the isle with millions upon millions of dollars to keep us quiet, no matter how they have to do it, or no matter what they have to  say to get their way.

COLORADO GOP CANCELS ELECTION TO STOP TRUMP

Knowing the truth about what happened in Vegas and seeing what the media has been reporting on various channels, is a disgrace that this is just a few of honest stories being told. To hear the various news channels, they were more interested in raising their ratings by describing this incident as violent and chaotic, and refused to tell the truth about what made this a story – the corruption in politics, and just how in bed the news media is with the establishment. Roberta Lange as chair of the state party convention tried to make herself look like the victim, when it was her and others who did everything possible to lock out the voices of the Sander’s people, and then backed by Barbara Boxer and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

The woman who took and posted the original video showing the raised chair that Angie and Debbie (the above video) spoke of, has offered to talk to any media that will listen, NONE HAVE.  Sanders supporters have now promised to donate $100 to Clinton’s campaign or vote for her in California if anyone can produce video evidence of the phantom chair throwing. To listen to the news and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, it sounded like chairs were being thrown willy nilly everywhere, and threats that that occurred at the convention turned out to be a few words written in sidewalk chalk that were of a statement, not a threat, which was washed away by the Sander’s group.

The Republican party is no stranger to corruption and many Republican politicians have been found guilty in a court of law on various charges, as have Democratic politicians. Since the United States is based on the rule of law, it’s crucially important that it’s political leaders uphold the laws of the land, but most of our trusted leaders went from beloved figures to crooked politicians in no time out of their greed for money and power.

Every politician accepts campaign contributions from special interest groups – if they want to keep their jobs – they have to keep their donors happy, with the exceptions being in 2016 of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders.  In that sense all politicians are corrupt, and we can all suspect both parties are equally crooked.

Corruption is a fact of politics, and has been for centuries going back to the Greeks and Romans, and we will probably always have it, no matter what names the parties choose to call themselves – democrats, republicans, libertarians, independents, or even socialists. The only real difference between any of them is found in the ideology promoted.

No matter what side you are on, you have to voice your opinion and stand for what is right according to your convictions. It is amazing what one person can do. That being said, it makes me think of the quote “I looked around and wondered why someone wasn’t doing something, then I realized I was someone.”

In the light of transparency, Angie is my granddaughter. I’m as conservative as can be while Angie is as liberal as she can be. I’m a die hard republican and Angie is obviously a die hard democrat, but instead of fighting with one another, we have chosen to learn to agree to disagree, and in doing so, we both try to show respect to the other person for their opinions, thoughts, and beliefs. If everyone thought, felt, believed and spoke the same, this world would become a pretty boring place. It is so easy to dislike someone who thinks different than us, but different doesn’t necessarily mean bad, it just means different.  Neither of us believe in violence, and we also agree that how the media and both political parties use it as a tool to promote their side, their ratings is WRONG.
