The Pictures Of Fear!

The Nigerian extremist group claims they've held hostage 300 girls and women. They threaten to kill or sell them into sex slavery.

The junk food media has made Boko Haram a household name. The Nigerian extremist group with known ties to terrorism has been linked to the kidnapping of schoolgirls in a small rural village outside of Chibok.

The government aided by international forces must search about 1500 miles of land to find these hostages.

From Abuja to Washington, DC, the American people have shown compassion towards this.

The international community condemns this situation.

The students are being forced into Islam and into marriage with members of Boko Haram, with a reputed "bride price" of ₦2,000 each ($12.50/£7.50).

Many of the students were taken to the neighboring countries of Chad and Cameroon, with sightings reported of the students crossing borders with the militants, and sightings of the students by villagers living in the Sambisa Forest.

The forest is considered a refuge for Boko Haram. Local residents have been able to track the movements of the students with the help of contacts across north eastern Nigeria.

On May 2, the police said they were still unclear as to the exact number of students who were kidnapped. They asked parents to provide documents so an official count could be made since school records were damaged in the attack.

On May 4, the Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, spoke publicly about the kidnapping for the first time, saying the government was doing everything it could to find the missing girls.

At the same time, he blamed parents for not supplying enough information about their missing children to the police.

On May 5, a video in which Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau claimed responsibility for the kidnappings emerged. Shekau claimed that "Allah instructed me to sell them...I will carry out his instructions." and "Slavery is allowed in my religion, and I shall capture people and make them slaves."

He said the girls should not have been in the school and instead they should be married since girls as young as nine are suitable for marriage.

Following the kidnapping incident, Boko Haram again abducted eight girls aged between 12–15 from northeast Nigeria.

At least 300 residents of the nearby town of Gamboru Ngala were killed in an attack by Boko Haram militants after Nigerian security forces had left the town to search for the kidnapped students.

On May 10, former Boko Haram negotiator, Shehu Sani stated that the group wanted to swap the abducted girls for its jailed members.

On May 11, Kashim Shettima, Governor of Borno State in Nigeria, said that he has sighted the abducted girls and that the girls were not taken across the borders of Cameroon or Chad.

On May 12, Boko Haram released a video showing about 130 kidnapped Girls clad in Burqah while it demanded prisoner exchange.

Developments continue as this story is covered here and through sources such as the Associated Press, Wikipedia and CNN.

The Kiss That Pissed Off A Dolphin Player!

Michael Sam kisses his boyfriend and the world reacts.

The NFL has signed openly gay player Michael Sam to the St. Louis Rams (NFC).

He made history that day.

There was a moment where Sam would kiss his boyfriend after he got the news.

Some thought of the kiss as a victory for LGBT in the sports industry. Others thought of it as disgusting and a terrible day for football.

The (AFC) Miami Dolphins player Don Jones is being benched after he made an inappropriate tweets in spite of the Donald Sterling scandal and the scandal involving his former teammate Richie Incognito was sacked after taunting Jonathan Martin.
Don Jones was fined and benched after he posted nasty comments on the reaction from Michael Sam.
Don Jones made an inappropriate tweet following the draft of Michael Sam, allegedly deeming it "horrible" and was promptly fined by the NFL and suspended from team activities. He was then required to undergo training related to workplace harassment.

The 23-year old safety was fined a reasonable amount of money for that.

The Associated Press reports that Jones had apologized for his comments Sunday and described them as inappropriate. The Dolphins said Jones has been excused from all team activities until he completes training related to his comments.

"We were disappointed to read Don's tweets," coach Joe Philbin said in a statement. "They were inappropriate and unacceptable, and we regret the negative impact these comments had on such an important weekend for the NFL. We met with Don today about respect, discrimination and judgment. These comments are not consistent with the values and standards of our program."

The Dolphins reacted swiftly to Jones' comments in the wake of the team's bullying scandal last year, which embarrassed the NFL and prompted a nationwide debate about workplace harassment.

Jones said he regretted that his tweets took away from Sam's "draft moment."
Sam and Jones will face each other eventually.
"I remember last year when I was drafted in the seventh round, and all of the emotions and happiness I felt when I received the call that gave me an opportunity to play for an NFL team, and I wish him all the best in his NFL career," Jones said in a statement. "I am committed to represent the values of the Miami Dolphins organization, and appreciate the opportunity I have been given to do so going forward."

Jones' agent, Chris Martin, could not be reached Sunday for comment.

Jones had protected his Twitter page after I guess he got his share of death threats and responses from those who were offended by his tweets.

Sterling: That [B****] Set Me Up! I'm Not A Racist!

He speaks....

The NBA owner of the Los Angeles Clippers finally decides to speak. He was better being silent.

Of course, he spark more controversy by even speaking out against the mistress and those who he thought were his friends. Yet, he doesn't speak about people. Oh, he's got a lot to talk about, don't he?

Anderson Cooper of CNN got an exclusive interview with Donald Sterling. Sterling was recently banned for life from all NBA games and his own team.

He talks to Cooper stating that those "words weren't in his heart" and his mistress "set him up".

"When I listen to that tape, I don't even know how I can say words like that. ... I don't know why the girl had me say those things," he told CNN's Anderson Cooper in an exclusive interview set to air on Monday.

"You're saying you were set up?" Cooper asked.

"Well yes, I was baited," Sterling said. "I mean, that's not the way I talk. I don't talk about people for one thing, ever. I talk about ideas and other things. I don't talk about people."

Cooper asked "Why did it take so long for you to speak out ?"

"I'm not a racist," Sterling told Cooper. "I made a terrible, terrible mistake. And I'm here with you today to apologize and to ask for forgiveness for all the people that I've hurt."

"The reason it's hard for me, very hard for me, is that I'm wrong. I caused the problem. I don't know how to correct it," he said.

He lashed out at Erwin "Magic" Johnson for being a hypocrite. He claims that Johnson doesn't do enough for the Black community himself and Sterling has tried to contact him.

"I'm a good member who made a mistake and I'm apologizing and I'm asking for forgiveness," he said. "Am I entitled to one mistake, am I after 35 years? I mean, I love my league, I love my partners. Am I entitled to one mistake? It's a terrible mistake, and I'll never do it again."

Sterling and his wife Shelley are feuding over the rights of the team. The NBA wants to force them both off the team after it was revealed that Sterling made racist comments to V. Stiviano about her associating with Black people.

Sterling and his wife were litigants to a civil lawsuit involving discrimination some of their properties.

Do you forgive this man?

Limbaugh Piss Parade On #BringBackOurGirls!

The big asshole on the racist right is obsessed like his Republican brethren on Benghazi. He and the racist right can't stand the president and the first lady. No matter what they do, he'll piss parade on it.

The conservative agitator pissed that First Lady Michelle Obama sent a tweet and expressing her outrage to Boko Haram's callous kidnapping of young schoolgirls.

The First Lady went to Twitter.




The terrorist group massacred school teachers and the kidnapped young girls.

The leader is promising that these young girls will be sold into sex slavery.

Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has ordered the Nigerian military to go after the extremists. He also applaud the U.S., Britain and Franch intelligence authorities for getting involved.

The racist right is all upset over the selfie by the First Lady's posting on the social networks.

Well lets first start with this conservative asshole.
That asshole said that the low-information universe -- will say, "Oh, Mrs. Obama! At least they care, and at least they're trying to do something."
He went to radio last week to declare that it was pathetic for people to use the hastag .

I can't believe this. We are one of the few people talking about the 300 or more Nigerian girls kidnapped by Boko Haram, which, when I hear that name I think of A Whiter Shade of Pale, Procol Harum.  That's not who it is. This is a terrorist bunch. Hillary's State Department refused to designate them a terrorist bunch.

From The Daily Beast: "Hillary’s State Department Refused to Brand Boko Haram as Terrorists -- Under Hillary Clinton, the State Department repeatedly declined to fully go after the terror group responsible for kidnapping hundreds of girls." And that means they are what?  They're African.  They're black.  It's a strange article to see in The Daily Beast. You think maybe The Daily Caller or Breitbart, but this is in The Daily Beast.

On the activism of First Lady Michelle Obama.

Like the guy at Mozilla, Condi Rice at Rutgers, things like that, and it's all made possible by [President Barack and First Lady Michelle] Obama. Every bit of it. And he cites a specific -- it's all emanating from universities, and he cites a specific compromise ruling at a specific university involving Title IX that sent the signal to every university in the country that they are free to engage in this fascistic behavior. So that's coming up, too.

But this picture is of the first lady. It's about what Boko Haram did, and it is a plea to try to get the kidnapped girls returned.  This is Mrs. Obama in the diplomatic reception room in the White House. I've been there many times. It's one of those popular entrances used for diplomats, guests, friends, and so forth. 

You go through the diplomatic reception room, take a left, and there's the elevator to the residence.  It's real close there. It's where Obama comes out and gets in the helicopter, all the presidents do.  That's the diplomatic reception room, most cases. That's where the picture is taken, looks like. 

I just think this is pathetic. I'm just stunned. We got 300 Nigerian girls kidnapped by an Al-Qaeda group, and nobody cared or talked about it for a while. Hillary wouldn't call 'em a terror group. 

Now, all of a sudden, for some reason, we're on a big push to get 'em back and this is how...? Well, you can't read the writing. It's a plea for people on Twitter to get in gear and bring the girls back.  It's #BringBackOurGirls.

 Apparently there's a Twitter... What do you call 'em, handle?  It's the number sign
"BringBackOurGirls." It's a hashtag, okay.

Anyway, there's Mrs. Obama looking sad and grim, and the sad thing here is that the low-information crowd that's puddling around out there on Twitter is gonna think we're actually doing something about it. 

Is that not pathetic?  What the hell message does that send? Imagine if bin Laden were still alive. Imagine Ayman al-Zawahiri. Can you imagine? They're laughing at this over in the huts and so forth wherever they are.  It is just unbelievable.  #BringBackOurGirls. They're Nigerian, unless there's something that we don't know.

But are we really this powerless?  The correct way to look at this is the audience that will see it -- the Twitter, low-information universe -- will say, "Oh, Mrs. Obama! At least they care, and at least they're trying to do something."  If somebody -- sadly, unfortunately -- had a family member kidnapped, this is might be what they would do, right?



National Screwview went to task. This glorified b----, Christine Sisto wrote that [everyone] can breathe a sigh of relief. Our girls will be returned because Michelle Obama has tweeted a picture of herself looking sad and holding a sign.

This b---- added, how does the United States react to this terrible neglect of human rights, brought about by a group that is evil personified?
Christine Sisto
National Screwview writer Christine Soto claims that First Lady Michelle Obama's activism is pathetic.
“Holding up a sign that says something profound while looking solemn” is a popular trend in the Twitter-verse, especially on websites like The Huffington Post and BuzzFeed that specialize in “Click here!” journalism. The content tends to be short, often written in a “listicle” format. It features some kind of schmaltzy human-interest story or liberal political message, and the headlines often claim that the content of the article is “hauntingly beautiful” or “powerful” or will “take your breath away” or “make your day.”

If [First Lady] Michelle Obama had held up that sign and then scheduled a trip to Nigeria, or spoken to the families of the kidnapped students, or met with President [Goodluck] Jonathan, urging him to take action, or donated some of her personal money to a Nigerian non-profit,  her gesture might have been credible.

Okay, b----!

As you probably Google yourself to find out who's talking shit about you, listen here!

Here's what you and your racist right friends would do next!

You will say that First Lady Michelle Obama (by the way) would spend taxpayer money to travel over to Nigeria to say a speech about nothing. You would say that she would take vacations.

You can't be satisfied!

You and that asshole on radio are so fucking lucky. You live in country that gives you the freedom to piss parade on every attempt to do something good. Just like your , the American people feel very concerned about these young girls.

The world has condemn this horrible event. I know you and that conservative asshole do have some sympathy towards this event. But to turn every freaking thing like this into politics, you people are pathetic.

Pope Francis even went to the social networks to show solidarity.




Are you going to complain about Pope Francis jumping into the campaign?

The Republican Party and its allies of the racist right have created so many controversies, President Barack Obama's allies can't stop them all at once.

Republicans aren't capable of fixing the economic turmoils. Although the Republicans do share at least some of the sympathy for this event, they really have no compassion for these young girls.

This is a part of the ongoing culture war that continues to tear the party and America apart. No longer I will sit here and watch this stuff continue.

As long as I am alive, I hope the best for those young girls. They didn't deserve this type of fate.

I will continue to stand independent of the situation and offer my honest opinion of issues that matter.

Michael Sam Got The Call!

Michael Sam will play for....

The possibility of the first openly gay football star being picked is......happening!

Many figured that the former MIZZOU star was going to be the first in history.

Michael Sam will be closer to his alma mater. He will be a member of the St. Louis Rams.

That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall sound the alarm that the openly gay football star will be a part of a NFL team. The real reason for this is basically the conservative agitator calling the St. Louis Ram (last place in the NFC West division) a bunch of pussies.





The siren went off today confirming that Sam was the 249th pick in the seventh round of the 2014 NFL Draft.

Sam was a consensus All-American and the Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the Year as a senior at Missouri.

Sam came out as gay in media interviews earlier this year. His team and coaches knew his secret and kept it for his final college season.

“I looked in their eyes, and they just started shaking their heads — like, finally, he came out,” Sam told The New York Times earlier this year — the first time he had spoken publicly about his sexual orientation.

Tension mounted throughout the day whether or not Sam would get drafted. Sam was the 249th out of 256 picks in the draft.



According to STATS, there were 530 undrafted free agents on NFL rosters during week 17 of last season.

There was a total of 404 players on rosters who had been drafted in rounds five through seven, though the pool of undrafted players from year to year is much larger than those drafted in those three rounds.

Sam has said he wants to be evaluated solely on his athletic ability and NFL executives and coaches, all the way up to Commissioner Roger Goodell, have said publicly that will be the case.

Goodell told ESPN that he wants to see Sam succeed in the league.

“I want to see Michael Sam get an opportunity to play in the NFL,” Goodell told ESPN Thursday before the first round of the NFL Draft. “We like to say the NFL is the ultimate meritocracy. If you can play football, they want to see you play. The teams want you. The fans want you. And that’s ultimately what it’s all about.”

Goodell continued: “I have great respect for Michael, his courage, his decision to become public, and I’m optimistic that he’s going to get that opportunity, and hopefully he can play at this level.”

Bye-bye, whiny white dudes: Tucker Carlson, Tal Fortgang and the weakening grip of entitlement

Bye-bye, whiny white dudes: Tucker Carlson, Tal Fortgang and the weakening grip of entitlement

Those men are the epitome of upper class white entitlement.

Princeton University freshman Tal Fortgang is the current face of white dude entitlement, but he’s not the only reminder we have right now about what happens when sheltered boys enter the world feeling that they’re owed something and believing that their actions don’t have consequences.


Call it whatever you’d like. Toxic masculinity. Frat mentality. Patriarchal bullshittery. But put really simply, the problem is that our culture doesn’t generally encourage boys to feel compassion or curiosity beyond a very narrow sphere of their experience, and then some grow up to be terrible jerks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These guys need to grow up and get over it!  This is not just their country anymore.  It's made up of diverse peoples of every race, nation, culture, religion, and class.  They are part of this country's culture and history whether those entitled racist men like it or not.

NY State Controller Calls Melissa Harris-Perry A "Damn Dirty Ape!"

James Coughlan.jpeg
You dirty politician and your ignorant mouth.

Jim Coughlan is world class douche. The Dutchess County New York Controller is hoping to win another term as a state senator. Somehow his words will come back to haunt him.

Word got out that the politico made some nasty comments about MSNBC (Obama News) host Melissa Harris-Perry on the social networks.

The stupid politico sent a tweet telling Harris-Perry to “keep your stinking paws off my kid, you damned dirty ape.”

Coughlan made the comment in response to an ad that Melissa Harris-Perry made in which she made reference to the need for communities, not just parents, to take responsibility for the well-being of children.

Melissa Harris-Perry will respond to this. Trust me, she doesn't play around.
“We have never invested as much in public education as we should have because we've always had kind of a private notion of children: ‘Your kid is yours, and totally your responsibility,’” Harris-Perry says in the ad that remains controversial among conservatives.

Last year, Harris-Perry done a bumper for her network and she made the comments that sparked a firestorm.

A few words got the racist right riled up. And to top that, she didn't do anything wrong to begin with.

Coughlan claims that he didn't intend on saying something considered racist. He didn't know the commentator was a "BLACK" person.

Yeah, right!

Republicans said they fear his Twitter history could keep them from regaining a Senate seat they long-held until two years ago.

Melissa Harris-Perry is a feature on weekends from 10 am to noon. She also is a professor of political science at Turlane University.

Jet Magazine Goes Digital!


Legendary comic Bernie Mac was featured.
Johnson Publications, Inc. is about to end the longstanding pocket magazine. It's going to go to the online websites.

Jet is an American weekly marketed toward African-American readers, founded in 1951 by John H. Johnson of Johnson Publishing Company in Chicago, Illinois.

Initially billed as "The Weekly Negro News Magazine", Jet is notable for its role in chronicling the early days of the American Civil Rights movement from its earliest years, including coverage of the Emmett Till murder, the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and Martin Luther King, Jr.

In 2014, Johnson Publishing Company indicated that it would cease publishing Jet issues at the end of June, continuing solely as a digital magazine app.

Jet contains fashion and beauty tips, entertainment news, dating advice, political coverage, health tips, and diet guides, in addition to covering events such as fashion shows. The cover photo usually corresponds to the focus of the main story. Some examples of cover stories might be a celebrity's wedding, Mother's Day, or a recognition of the achievements of a notable African American. Many issues are given coverage to show the African-American community that if they want to reach a goal, they have to be willing to work for it. Jet also claims to give young female adults confidence and strength because the women featured therein are strong and successful without the help of a man.

Its sister magazine Ebony will continue to publish magazines.


Ohio Teen Getting Hit With Shovel Goes Viral! [NSFW]



Dayton, Ohio teens girls get into a fight. One young girl throws the shovel at the young girl. It goes viral.

Bethel Township, Ohio at the National Road trail park was the talk of the nation this week.

The young girls and the young guy who filmed the video have gotten their share of death threats and wow moments.

Miranda Fugate got into a fight with Emily Olinger-Powers. It all started with a war of words between Miranda and Emily over a guy they knew. Olinger (Powers) went ahead and toss the shovel at Fugate.

The young man, Josh Officer who uploaded the video was contacted by global junk food media outlets after the video went viral.



The Dayton Daily News reports nearly seven minutes into the video, Fugate is seen chasing after Olinger, who is headed for a door to a house. Fugate stops and turns back when she sees that Olinger has a shovel in her hand. Fugate runs and Olinger hurls the shovel, hitting Fugate in the back of the head. Fugate then falls to the ground.

“I told her to leave again, and she refused, so then the first thing I saw was my shovel. I picked it up and then she said, ‘OK, OK’ and by the time she said she was done, I already hit her with it,” Olinger said. “I’ve been bullied ever since I was in the fourth grade, and that’s why I hit her with the shovel because I’m tired of it.”

This event has led to the Montgomery and Miami County boys in blue to investigate who may catch a felony case.

Fugate wasn't seriously injured after the shovel hit the head, but it did managed to get her in trouble for violating her probation. The young teen is currently in the juvenile lockup after violating her probation.

Fugute social networking page increased 340% this week. As of today, she has over 45,000 followers on Twitter.

Heavy, a viral website describes the 8-minute video of the fight. The battle seems to be pre-arranged. The two obviously don't like each other, but they fight surrounded by their friends and with a lot of set ground rules. They wait for each other to be ready to fight and even giggle before going at it. But the punching and face shots are rough.




The Miami County Sheriff’s Office is questioning the teens involved to determine if it was real or a hoax, according to Sheriff’s Major Steve Lord.

Olinger who went to the junk food media to tell her side of the story said that she was bullied and this event was sparked by a spurned relationship with another guy. Olinger may face charges in Miami County and the Bethel school district may possibly expel her.

A truancy officer in Miami County saw the video on Youtube and reported what he saw to the authorities. This resulted in a Bethel High School administrator reporting the incident to the sheriff’s office on Monday.

After questioning the parties involved, the sheriff’s office will decide whether to pursue charges with the prosecutor’s office, according to Lord.

Emily Olinger who also goes by the social network name Emily Powers has gotten her share of fame and death threats after she pummeled Miranda Fugate with a shovel.
“Anytime you’re dealing with an assault that’s potentially deadly, you run a risk. In this case, what the law is going to look at in Ohio is whether that injury is substantial physical harm or less than serious physical harm. If it’s determined to be serious physical harm then that could be a felony,” Lord said. “Also, if you start hitting people in the head with a shovel, it can lead to death.”

When asked her reaction to the fact that her son shot the video, Officer’s mother Martha Allison said, “I felt like he was just a kid, doing what he does best. I don’t think he had any feeling over it. I really haven’t talked to him about it. We’re just more or less excited about the notoriety and how it’s gotten so big.”

Apple Sauce: Dr. Dre About To Sell Beats Audio!

Dr. Dre in 2011.jpgPayday for Andre Romelle Young! If the media mogul sells off his headphone and stereo accessories to APPLE, it may net him $3.2 billion.

Dr. Dre is making the rounds again with the Beats Audio.

The company was founded by rapper and hip-hop producer Andre "Dr. Dre" Young and Interscope-Geffen-A&M Records chairman Jimmy Iovine and primarily produces products under the brand "Beats by Dr. Dre". The company has also licensed audio technology to other companies for use in their own products, and also acquired MOG in 2012 to expand into the online music market.

From 2009 to 2012, its products were exclusively manufactured by the consumer electronics company Monster Cable. Following the expiration of its contract, Beats began to self-manufacture its products.

The New York Times reports that Apple is in discussions to buy Beats Electronics, the company behind the popular Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, for $3.2 billion, according to people briefed on the talks, in what would be the biggest acquisition in Apple’s history.

The deal would also include the new Beats Music streaming service, which was introduced in January as a competitor to Spotify and Pandora, and could signal an effort by Apple to transform its approach to music more than a decade after it opened the iTunes download store.

A deal has not been consummated, and the negotiations could still fall apart, according to these people, who declined to be identified speaking about it publicly. But if it is completed, the sale could be announced as early as next week, the people said. Apple and Beats declined to comment.

For Apple, whose revenue growth has slowed sharply in the last few years, the deal could point to a headlong move into the frontier of streaming music. The company, which only last year released its streaming product, iTunes Radio, has been slow to enter the streaming world.

A purchase of Beats would also give Apple a hot product and an even hotter brand, founded by the rapper Dr. Dre and the music executive Jimmy Iovine. After its enormous successes with the iPhone and iPad, Apple has been under intense pressure from investors to unveil new products, but none have yet been released.

Dr. Dre has shelved his final album Detox.

The media mogul recently loss established act Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson after years of delay of his sixth album Street King Immortal.

Aftermath Entertainment is the home of Dr. Dre, Eminem. rap producer Mr. Porter (aka Kon Artis) and Kendrick Lamar.

GOP Fundraising Off Benghazi!


We need answers!

We need your money so we can get the answers to why four Americans were killed on September 11, 2012. It's essential that we, the Republican Party succeed in making President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton responsible for the deliberate cover up of Benghazi.

Right off the bat, the Democrats are saying this Benghazi tragedy is being used to rile up votes for the Midterm. They're correct.

Because the Republicans jobs plan is mainly to save theirs.

Republicans are once again investigating the lead ups to the terrorist attack on the American consulate in Libya.

That killed Libyan Ambassador J. Christopher Stephens and three other men.

Republicans once again waste our taxpayer dollars on a committee hearing that might net them little to nothing. The committee being led by politico Trey Gowdy (R-SC) is going to be partisan event.

The National Republican Congressional Committee is raising money off this.

Weeper of the House, John Boehner (R-OH) was asked three times about fundraising emails sent by the National Republican Congressional Committee that sought to capitalize on this week's announcement of a select committee to investigate the Benghazi attacks.

"Our focus is on getting the answers to those families who lost their loved ones. Period," Boehner said.

Boehner was pressed again on why the NRCC, the committee charged with helping to elect Republicans to the House, is using the issue as a fundraising opportunity.

"Our focus is getting the truth for these four families and the American people," Boehner said, only to repeat the line moments later when another reporter raised the same question.

The NRCC has thus far refused to back down from fundraising campaigns related to Benghazi. Andrea Bozek, the group's communications director, said the Obama administration had been dishonest with the American people about the attacks, which occurred on an American diplomatic mission.

The conservatives are pushing Republicans into these investigations into just about everything.

They found Lois Lerner in contempt of Congress. The partisan vote concluded with Republicans finding that the former IRS head was responsible for denying Tea Party groups applications.

Democrats are mum on boycotting the whole ordeal.
