McAuliffe Bribing Teachers with Your Money

 


PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE HORRIBLE AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY.  IT'S BECAUSE OF TEACHERS UNIONS AND RACIST PROPAGANDA LIKE CRITICAL RACE THEORY.

Former Virginian Pilot Publisher, Obama and McAuliffe Appointee, Maurice Jones, Breaks Federal Law



When you're part of the Obama Administration, fresh from publishing the Virginian Pilot, and being used to telling people what to do, a little thing like the law doesn't stop you.

An internal federal probe has concluded that Maurice Jones, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s new commerce secretary, improperly lobbied Congress while he was in the Obama administration last year.

Mr. Jones, who was a deputy secretary at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, sent an email to more than 1,000 recipients — including 46 people at HUD — asking them to contact senators to “defend against efforts by some Republicans” to prevent a housing bill to come up for a vote, according to the internal probe. The message also asked “friends and supporters” to tell senators to vote “no” on another amendment.
A monthslong investigation by the HUD’s office of inspector general concluded that Mr. Jones and four others at HUD appear to have violated anti-lobbying laws, which restrict the use of funds for publicity or propaganda directed at pending legislation before Congress. The probe also concluded that Mr. Jones violated internal HUD policy on lobbying by federal employees.

Jones claimed ignorance.

“[Deputy secretary]{Jones} stated that it was articulated to him that ‘I could do things that others could not,’” investigators wrote in the report obtained by The Washington Times.

 Laws are for the little people.

The Obama DOJ - the most politicized in history  - declined to prosecute its own employee.   and the investigation is busy being swept under the rug.  I confidently predict that Jones will not be prosecuted.

One last point, this tireless advocate of the working man, managed to do very well for himself even as he was throwing others out of work.
In 2012, The Washington Times reported that a federal financial disclosure form showed Mr. Jones pocketed more than a quarter-million dollars in bonus compensation as publisher of the Virginian-Pilot about the same time he was slashing newsroom jobs.

The Virginian Pilot did not cover this story.  But then they have a history of refusing to cover the mishaps of their own employees, even when those employees are the victims of an unprovoked attack by a gang of black youths.

They speak like Marx, rule like Stalin, live like the Rockefellers while the people suffer.

Dem. Operative Involved in 2004 Tire Slashing Shows Up in Virginia Gov. McAuliffe's Cabinet

Something that you won't find in the Virginian Pilot.

The name Levar Stoney may not ring a bell to many in Wisconsin, but the new Secretary of the Commonwealth of Virginia and former Deputy Campaign Manager for Governor-elect Terry McAuliffe has some scandalous history in Wisconsin.
 
In 2004, Levar Stoney was involved in covering up and lying for five Democratic campaign operatives who slashed the tires of 25 vans rented by the Republican Party for get out the vote efforts.

In response to Stoney's appointment, Slate.com called the move the beginning of Terry McAuliffe's "reign of sleaze."

This must have been some of that “voter suppression” we’re always hearing about.

Kerry Dougherty thinks you are a terminal disease.


Kerry Dougherty thinks you are a terminal disease.

She was quoting Larry Saboto, but she apparently agrees. Here’s Kerry on the major candidates.
One candidate was dishonest. The other hated women.
It's a wonder anyone went to the polls.
"These two candidates are among the worst I've ever seen," declared the University of Virginia's Larry Sabato during an election eve appearance on Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show."
"Virginians have a choice between a far-right-wing Tea Party social conservative and a Democrat who's been guilty of sleazy business deals and questionable fundraising," Sabato sighed.
"I've never seen unfavorable ratings this high for both of the major-party candidates," he added, as a graphic flashed on the screen showing that only 24 percent of Virginia voters had a favorable impression of the Democrat and only 29 percent liked the Republican.
Virginia's premier pundit said the situation was so dire this year, "I had one person tell me it was like a choice between a heart attack and cancer."
Terminal diseases. That sums it up nicely.
Any wonder so many held their noses Tuesday as they picked the lesser of two little men?
"I may not vote; I'm serious," whispered one of my yoga pals from her mat early Tuesday. "I hate them both. Really hate them."
By late afternoon, Twitter was on fire with posts from disgruntled Virginia voters.
"Would rather have a crook than a crazy, which is why this Republican just voted for McAuliffe for Governor," one person tweeted.
"Dear ladies in Va.," tweeted another. "Plz vote with your brain and not fall for the same old uterus crap. You are more intelligent than that!"
So let’s ignore for a second what Kerry thinks about McAuliffe, the guy who made $18 million in Global Crossings stock sales shortly before the company declared bankruptcy and threw about 10,000 people out of work.
 
Here’s what she thinks about you Tea Party people. You’re “far right” kooks who hate women. That would be a surprise to the young girls, mothers pushing their strollers, businessmen and retirees, black and white at the first Tea Party rally I attended in Virginia Beach several years ago. You Tea Partyers are a terminal disease to electoral politics in the Old Dominion.
 
Oh, and you’re racist bigots who hate black people and if you’re black you are a self-hating black. You’re a homophobic knuckle dragger who want to deny people their rights. You’re gun toting rednecks who believe that a women’s place is barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. And you listen to Rush Limbaugh and watch FOX News, you stupid racists.

Don’t try to deny it; it’s true what they say about your because you can read all about it in the Virginian Pilot.

President Obama Joins Virginia Gubernatorial Candidate Terry McAuliffe For Celebration Of The Affordable Care Act

Today, just over a month since the Administration launched HealthCare.gov, President Obama joined Virginia Gubernatorial Candidate Terry McAuliffe for a campaign event in Arlington, Virginia. McAuliffe, a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, is a friend of the President’s and a long-time supporter of his legislative priorities, including the Affordable Care Act. Excerpts From Prepared Remarks of President Barack Obama Sunday, November 3, 2013

Hello Virginia! Are you all fired up or what! Let me hear you! Now,

I know you’re fired up for me, but I’m talking about my good friend, Terry McAuliffe.

Let’s hear it for Terry!

I’m here today because Terry has always had my back — alright maybe not in 2008 — but ever since then.

He’s been a vocal supporter for our legislative priorities, especially the Affordable Care Act. Terry even wanted the public option and was just as disappointed as I was when that didn’t work out.

You all know that Republicans like Ken Cuccinelli are doing everything possible to stop the law. They are grossly misleading the public, saying I wasn’t honest with you all when I said if you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it. Can you believe that?

Sure I said that — but you all know what I meant! I meant most of you all! It’s not like I prefaced it with ― read my lips‖ or anything . Look, no one is more upset than I am with how this rollout has gone, but Rome wasn’t built in one day.

Sure I would have liked to see more than six people sign up on the first day, but change is never supposed to be easy. It doesn’t happen overnight, heck, it doesn’t happen in five years either. Fortunately, I’m going to have a partner in Terry McAuliffe right here in Virginia when it comes to ObamaCare!

Terry has made clear that he’s relying on the law — through Medicaid expansion — to pay for his platform and I’m
glad to hear that. And in fact, I’ve been reading that Terry’s stumbled onto something interesting …profiting on the death of others. You know the old saying ... there are two things that are certain: death and taxes. I’ve got to hand it to Terry, not even ObamaCare’s death panels were able to accomplish that.

If there’s one thing Terry and I have in common, it’s a lifelong love of big - government policies. But that’s not the only thing we have in common. Terry and I are both authors. When Terry started writing his memoir, he called me for advice. He had read Dreams of My Father and The Audacity of Hope, and wanted to get my two cents. My advice to him was simple: speak from the heart, let people get a sense of who the real Terry McAuliffe is, and most of all, don’t hold anything back. I was pleased when I saw that Terry took my advice. Before we took the stage today, Terry told me he knew exactly what I meant when I said ―if you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. He’s got that car company down in Mississippi and they’re not building cars and that pellet company down in Franklin that doesn’t make any pellets. Nobody’s working harder than Terry McAuliffe to prove that people in business didn’t build anything! Ah come on Terry, you know I love you! Hillary may be likeable enough, but I just love Terry McAuliffe – no matter what he told Jon Stewart.

All of you Democrats here in Northern Virginia need to make sure you vote, because there’s a lot of folks out there
in the rest of Virginia still clinging to their guns and religion and those folks are going to vote. You know, unlike my last opponent, Terry McAuliffe can actually prove he’s created 100,000 jobs…oh wait…he can’t prove it…I mean, unlike my last opponent, everyone’s giving Terry McAuliffe a pass on his claim to have created 100,000 jobs. And I also want to give a big shout out to The Washington Post, after relentlessly tormenting my opponent about releasing his tax returns last year they’ve done Terry McAuliffe quite the favor by not demanding the same of him.

Tomorrow, some of you will hear from Vice President Biden… Uncle Joe as we like to call him in the West Wing. With any luck, he’ll talk about binders…binders full of Chinese investors…binders full of Chinese investors that my friend Terry and his company successfully duped for millions.

Way to go man…that’s quite an economicfeat as opposed to owing them trillions. And finally, I want to clear one thing up and let everyone know that I’m not the least bit concerned about the DHS and SEC investigations that involve Terry McAuliffe. From my staff in the White House, to the folks in the Vice President’s office, to the folks at DHS – my administration has gone above and beyond to help McAuliffe’s GreenTech and I’m not about to let a couple federal probes by my own administration dampen my support for Terry. If there’s a problem, I’m sure we’ll hear about it after Election Day, but for now, it’s time to focus on more important stuff. Virginians should always know, they can count on Terry McAuliffe! Whether its 3 AM or some other time, he’ll likely be playing cards with my friend Bill enjoying each other’s company in doses.

McAuliffe's taxes


Terry McAuliffe, multimillionaire and Democrat candidate for Governor of Virginia revealed that he reported $9.5 million in taxable income last year, but few details. 
 
A few questions were raised by others, such as where the money came from, why he was paid nearly half a million dollars by a car company that is struggling and from which he resigned, and exactly how much money did McAuliffe make from an insurance scam that took advantage of the terminally ill? 
 
But I have an addition question.  One of the details omitted was the amount he paid in state income taxes, and more interesting, in what states did he pay those taxes.  
 
Since he's running to be Virginia's governor, wouldn't it be interesting to find out that a lot of the taxes he paid went to other states?  Just speculation of course, but the lack of detail makes this a real possibility.

Terry McAuliffe Pledges Colorado-Like Gun Control if Elected

Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe's (D) website was updated Monday to show his commitment to bring Colorado-like gun control to the commonwealth.

Cuccinelli may just have won the election.

The Virginian Pilot is upset that their trashing of Ken Cuccinelli isn't working as well as planned.


But the subhead should read: "I thought we had trashed and lied about Ken Cuccinelli enough to have destroyed his reputation. We're upset that Democrat Terry McAuliffe is getting a taste of his own medicine."

McAuliffe, a man who made his fortune in politics and politically connect enterprises is an awful human being. He made a reported $18 million from his share of Global Crossings, a firm he got shares in due to his political connections, and sold out at the peak before it went bankrupt and thousands lost their jobs. He's had as string of business failures, most of whom seem to leave him with more money than before and his campaign to be the next Virginia governor seems to be based on his non-existent business acumen.

WaPo reluctantly reports Terry McAuliffe’s bald-faced debate lie.

Via Redstate.

In the most obvious misstatement of the debate, [Democrat Terry] McAuliffe attacked [Republican Virginia Attorney General Ken] Cuccinelli over the findings of a Richmond prosecutor who had been tasked with investigating Cuccinelli’s financial disclosures.

“If you read the whole report, which I have, it says in here that the attorney general should have been prosecuted,” McAuliffe said, over Cuccinelli’s failure to disclose his stock holdings in Star Scientific and gifts from Williams. McAuliffe also said that because of Cuccinelli’s ties to Williams and Star, which filed a civil tax case against the state, “a judge took the case away from him because of a conflict of interest.”

Richmond Commonwealth’s Attorney Michael Herring said in a report last week that he found no evidence that Cuccinelli had violated the law. And it was Cuccinelli’s office that requested recusal from the civil tax case.

“So much is inaccurate,” Cuccinelli said when asked in the debate to respond, “I’ll let the fact checkers take care of it. That one’s gonna get sliced up.”

After the debate, McAuliffe sought to clarify his comment. “On the report — the attorney general could have been prosecuted if we had stronger disclosure laws in Virginia,” McAuliffe said, although Herring’s report did not make that assertion.

You can be sure the Virginian Pilot will repeat McAuliffe's lies verbatim.

Is the Virginian Pilot going to demand Crony Capitalist and Tax Cheat Terry McAuliffe come clean?


Don't bet on it. He's their candidate and they will do everything they can to make any questions about his past, present and future go away. The Virginian Pilot and its billionaire owners embody the core beliefs of the Move-On group that told us that the Whitewater, Cattlegate and Lewinski scandals were irrelevant. OTOH, Romney's wealth was a scandal.

In short, based on the available evidence, Terry McAuliffe appears to have used Leaf Clean Energy as precisely the kind of perfectly legal tax shelter that he and his fellow Democrats routinely rail against as immoral and irresponsible. Until he releases his full tax returns, there is no way of knowing for sure.

McAuliffe is always promising the moon and delivering nada, nothing, zip. One example close to home is the Franklin pellet-manufacturing project in the abandoned International Paper factory. McAuliffe is using cut-outs on this project so that his name will not be associated with a project that's never gotten off the ground.

That project has engendered its own controversy in Isle of Wight County, as the pellet plant has failed to materialize more than three years after McAuliffe announced his bid for the site. I spoke this afternoon with Lisa Perry, director of the county’s Department of Economic Development, who assured me that the project is still active and answered “Yes” when asked whether McAuliffe was still personally involved (notwithstanding CMI’s removal of McAuliffe from its website). Perry also said, “This is a real project. We have approached it from the beginning as a real project. . . . I have complete confidence that it will continue.” Citing nondisclosure agreements, Perry could not furnish details about the current state of the undertaking; but she explained that “Being engaged with International Paper on this type of economic development project is overwhelmingly difficult,” and cited “just the fact that International Paper is engaged with this company at all” as evidence of seriousness on the part of McAuliffe and his consortium.
Oh, and the place where tax cheat McAuliffe has his headquarters?  Ugland House.  This is what McAuliffe's sponsor said about it.  Is McAuliffe a tax cheat?  You don't have to take my word for it; here's Barack Obama:
On the campaign, I used to talk about the outrage of a building in the Cayman Islands that had over 12,000 business — businesses claim this building as their headquarters. And I’ve said before, either this is the largest building in the world or the largest tax scam in the world. 
One more reason to make Ken Cuccinelli the next governor of Virginia.

This is what "Crony Capitalism" looks like: How Terry McAuliffe got rich

Example of information you will not find in the Virginian Pilot. 

Ten years ago, McAuliffe turned a $100K stock buy into $18M thanks to his relationship with the CEO of Internet firm Global Crossing. Shortly thereafter the company went bankrupt, the stock price collapsed and 10,000 employees lost their jobs.

This was not the only questionable deal he was associated with. But it was part of a pattern in his business life of using insider connections that made him very wealthy.
This was written in 2009, the first time McAuliffe had his eye on the State House.  Since then he has battened his bank account using his political connections at the top of the Democrat party money-raising pyramid.

McAuliffe hones China’s crony-capitalism model in U.S.

As he runs for Virginia governor, Terry McAuliffe has touted his efforts to start a “green car” company in Mississippi as a prime example of his old-fashioned American entrepreneurial know-how. Yet McAuliffe really is a master of the Chinese-style “crony capitalist” model. It’s a system where political connections, government favors and even some thuggery determine the success of an enterprise.

HOW TERRY MCAULIFFE GOT SO RICH

The Global Crossing company is bankrupt, but not before former CEO Gary Winnick took out $734 million after selling his stock when the price was high. Winnick's golfing pal, DNC chief Terry McAuliffe, made about $18 million on Global Crossing stock and sold shortly before its dissent.

Virginian Pilot mentions McAuliffe only to attack Cuccinelli. The real McAuliffe story from the WSJ and Kos.

The headline of the editorial is McAuliffe's green problem, but it should really be headlined: We hate Cuccinelli.
It begins:
For all the troubles that Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has faced during this gubernatorial campaign, he has managed to find political cover in one that should've posed the greatest challenge: his Democratic opponent.

The editorial then goes on to mention all the ways in which the Democrats at the Virginia Pilot have smeared Cuccinelli.
  • refused to abide by the Virginia tradition of an attorney general resigning to pursue higher office
  • his ties [he owns stock in the company] to Star Scientific, a company engaged in multiple lawsuits and facing a federal securities investigation.
And what does the editorial accuse McAuliffe of?
  • McAuliffe's business behavior [unspecified]
  • his association with a would-be electric vehicle manufacturer. GreenTech Automotive
  • It has produced a fraction of the jobs [how many jobs specifically editorial writer?] promised and has yet to manufacture any vehicles at its plant in Mississippi.
  • Other than offering evidence that McAuliffe supports alternative-fueled vehicles and is willing to wade into a risky business venture during a recession, the affiliation offers voters little reason for confidence in McAuliffe's business prowess.
In other words, some un-named business behavior coupled with his love for the earth, and willing to get in on Green technology. What's not to love?  Based on this "searing" expose, let's name McAuliffe Governor for Life!

Compare and contrast this article that shows what McAuliffe was really up to with GreenTech.

Strassel: Terry McAuliffe's Solyndra

Running for governor of Virginia, the Democrat's main business credential is fast turning into a crony-capitalist embarrassment.

Turn over any green-energy rock, and wiggling underneath will be the usual creepy mix of political favoritism and taxpayer-funded handouts. Add to this the Clintons, Mississippi and a murky visa program, and you've got a particularly ripe political embarrassment for Terry McAuliffe.

Everyone remember The Macker? Best Friend of Bill. Chairman of Hillary's 2008 presidential campaign. Famed money-tree shaker. Former Democratic Party chief. Failed 2009 contender for the Virginia governorship but now back as the party's nominee for that position in this fall's election. Oh—and in Mr. McAuliffe's words—"a Virginia businessman" intent on "creating jobs."

Or at least that was the image Mr. McAuliffe sought to portray in 2009, when he became chairman of a car company called GreenTech Automotive, with plans to produce golf-cart sized electric vehicles. The former DNC chief is no stranger to moneymaking, having once used a friendly union pension fund to spin a $100 investment in a Florida land deal into $2.45 million. GreenTech, however, was designed to shed the moneyman image and to reposition Mr. McAuliffe as a (clean) job creator the way Mark Warner and Bob McDonnell used their pro-business credentials to win office in Virginia.

To this end, Mr. McAuliffe got out the political Rolodex and went on the money hunt. By October 2009, GreenTech announced it would build a plant in Tunica, Miss., after the state (under Republican then-Gov. Haley Barbour) promised at least $5 million in public loans and grants to aid the company moving in.

GreenTech bragged that in its first phase alone it would invest $1 billion, employ 1,500 and produce 150,000 cars annually. Mr. McAuliffe grandly unveiled his signature MyCar last July at a rock-star event attended by Messrs. Clinton and Barbour. Business creds in hand, he then announced his run for governor—and the problems began.

Among the first questions he was asked was why, as a proud "Virginia" businessman, he'd located his business in Mississippi. Scrambling, Mr. McAuliffe stated that he had wanted to bring his jobs home but the Virginia Economic Development Partnership "didn't want to bid on" GreenTech—whereas Mississippi had offered incentives. He went so far as to criticize the state for not going after manufacturing jobs like his, suggesting he'd change that.
 
After an investigation, media outlets discovered that Virginia never received enough information from GreenTech to proceed. The Associated Press reported that the state agency worried that "GreenTech lacked brand recognition; had not demonstrated vehicle performance; had no federal safety and fuel-economy certification; no emissions approval . . . no distribution network" and (ouch) "no demonstrated automotive industry experience within the executive management team." Rather than respond to these concerns, GreenTech moved on with Mississippi (which perhaps wasn't asking annoying questions).

Virginia was particularly alarmed by GreenTech's use of an opaque visa program, called EB-5, to fund itself. Part of a 1990 immigration law, EB-5 lets foreigners who invest at least $500,000 in a U.S. company receive green cards. A federal immigration agency approves "regional centers" that administer the program.

While these centers can be run by local government, GreenTech proposed running a Virginia center itself. One official at the Virginia development agency wrote to colleagues that she couldn't view Greentech's EB-5 program as "anything other than a visa-for-sale scheme with potential national security implications."
 
GreenTech is today using its own investment vehicle to run a regional center in Mississippi. The president and CEO of Gulf Coast Funds Management is Anthony Rodham, the youngest brother of Hillary Clinton. Its board is composed of Democratic Party insiders, from former Clinton IRS Commissioner Margaret Richardson to former Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco. Neither the immigration agency, nor GreenTech or Gulf Coast, has divulged how much money the company has raised via EB-5, or how many visas it has issued.  
This is of particular interest, since GreenTech looks to be a lemon. Despite promising production in 2011, there is no evidence the company is manufacturing any cars in volume. It is operating out of a temporary site and has yet to begin building its flagship factory in Tunica. GreenTech is the latest proof (after Solyndra, Fisker, A123 and others) that the political class is adept at hooking up cronies and investors with taxpayer dollars. But creating jobs? No can do.

This may explain the latest news bomblet. Mr. McAuliffe continued flogging his GreenTech credentials this year, appearing in January at a trade show under the title "chairman of GreenTech Automotive." Recent media reports have also used that title—with no protest from the candidate. But as the heat mounted, his campaign last week released a letter that claims Mr. McAuliffe had resigned from GreenTech by Dec. 1, 2012. The company, Mr. McAuliffe would now like everyone to know, has nothing to do with him.


Before you think that McAuliffe's dive into the Green cesspool is a one-off, here's a little reminder of how Terry got rich ... and what happened to the little people his failures crushed. And before you think that this is a hit job by the Right, it's from the very Leftist Daily Kos.
