President Barack Obama Slammed In Government Report For Spending $3,600,000 Of Taxpayer Money On One Weekend Of Golfing With Tiger Woods

 

Barack Obama

The U.S. Government Accountability Office has released a report slamming President Barack Obama for spending $3,600,000 of American taxpayer money on one weekend of golfing in Illinois and Florida in February 2016. Obama spent the weekend golfing with Tiger Woods, whose putter he can't even carry (I'm not going to indulge Obama's delusional fantasy that he is Tiger Woods on the golf course and Michael Jordan on the basketball court).

I ask, what is wrong with the golf courses near the White House in Washington, D.C., Virginia and Maryland. Many people use them and have no complaints. Yet Obama is constantly flying to Florida and Hawaii to golf and on the taxpayers' dime. It doesn't look good. They have no conscience. They went into office virtually broke, then along with their cronies, raided the U.S. treasury.

Obama has been living like a king on taxpayer money and so has his wife, First Lady, Michelle Obama. They have spent more taxpayer money on themselves than any other first couple in U.S. history. They should be embarrassed and ashamed of that. Being head of state is about public service, not the public serving you with their time and tax dollars.

 

Michelle Obama

Senator John Barrasso, the ranking member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Subcommittee on Transportation, excoriated Obama for his wasteful conduct, regarding the pricey Illinois and Florida golf trip. Barrasso stated, "At a time when government agencies and programs were preparing to implement tough cost saving measures in order to meet the budgetary constraints of sequestration, President Obama chose to use taxpayer money for a weekend trip to play golf."

This $3,600,000 golf trip adds to the $70,000,000 the Obamas have disgracefully spent on vacations while in office (that massive figure does not even include their expensive  vacations this year, as they've not been included in the tally at this time). Do you know how many poor people could have been fed with that money. Do you know how many teenagers could have been sent to university with that money.

Obama's behavior is this regard is terrible. It shows a great lack of character and decency to waste taxpayer money on such a grand scale. It's a sign of poor breeding. There's no excuse for this and to make it worse, it occurred during difficult financial times in America.

Taxpayer Tab For Obama Trip That Included Golf With Tiger Woods: $3.6 Million

11:13 PM 10/24/2016 - Taxpayers shelled out millions of dollars in 2013 when the golf-addicted President Obama took Air Force One to Florida on vacation and played a round of golf with Tiger Woods, according to a new government study. From Feb. 15-18 in 2013, the president went on a four day trip that included an official speech in Chicago and some leisure time in Palm Beach, Florida.

According to a forthcoming report by the Government Accountability Office that was obtained early by The Daily Caller, the government spent a total of $3.6 million to fly, protect and support the president during this trip to Illinois and Florida. The GAO report was requested by Sen. John Barrasso, a Republican senator from Wyoming. The letter was sent during the political debates of 2013 over the automatic spending cuts to government services, known as sequestration.

In November of 2013, Barrasso — who was the ranking member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Subcommittee on Transportation and Infrastructure — asked the comptroller general of the United States to have the GAO “assess the costs to taxpayers for President Obama’s trip to Florida in February.”

“At a time when government agencies and programs were preparing to implement tough cost-saving measures in order to meet the budgetary constraints of sequestration,” Barrasso wrote, “President Obama chose to use taxpayer money for a weekend trip to play golf. I have heard from a number of concerned constituents in my state who believe the money used for this trip could have been spent in a manner that would have reduced the federal deficit or have helped reduce the impact of sequestration on the public.”...

American National Debt Hits Another Record High Under President Barack Obama

Barack Obama

 

A recently released report reveals, "Total government debt hit a record $19.38 trillion on Thursday, up nearly $98 billion from the day before. It's the first time it has ever exceeded $19.3 trillion.
The debt will soar higher still in the coming months, and is expected to approach $20 trillion by the time President Obama leaves office." 

People who love to spin everything Obama does, please explain this. For Obama’s entire presidency I stated he needs to stop the excessive spending. However, Obama and his cabinet just kept on spending to the point America’s debt is at an all time high. Obama has spent more than any other US president. Tell me, how is that a good thing setting record debt. This is not something any head of state should want attached to their name and under poor economic conditions in a nation. 

History, the basic principles of government and finance state, you cannot operate in such a manner and not see adverse results negatively impacting the population. All the spinning in the world will not matter when America goes bankrupt and the nation's way of life negatively changes due to the overspending that occurred during this time. However, with some irrational people, when it comes to Obama, everybody’s a hater. No, you just don’t know basic math (Newly Released Financial Data Reveals America Has Hit An Unprecedented Economic Low Under President Obama). 

Some of you sound like programmed robots. Everything coming out of your mouths, no matter the subject or unrelated the theme is, "OBAMA, OBAMA, OBAMA, OBAMA, OBAMA" like you're brainwashed, like someone wiped your brain clean of all logic, common sense and diversity. Somebody could be talking about a piece of gum on the ground and some brainwashed folks will find a way to turn the conversation into "OBAMA, OBAMA, OBAMA, OBAMA, OBAMA." There's a lady I knew that was like that, like her life depended on it, due to the government harassing her to speak to me over this column, because clearly the megalomaniac, censorship loving Obama Administration thinks free speech and free press, as guaranteed by the Constitution, is something to be obsessively violated (see RELATED ARTICLES for other examples of the Obama Administration targeting journalists and bloggers).  

Tell me, how was it wrong to state from the beginning of his presidency, that Obama should go with austerity to correct financial deficiencies in the U.S. economy, damaged by former President George W. Bush. Instead, Obama spent a record amount of money, more than Bush and the U.S. economy is now at the worst place it has ever been. Apparently, telling people the truth for their own good and the overall good of society, makes one a hater.

National debt jumps nearly $100 billion in one day to record high

7/2/16 12:01 AM - The U.S. national debt is creeping up again, after holding steady for the last few months thanks to the annual flood of individual and corporate tax receipts. Total government debt hit a record $19.38 trillion on Thursday, up nearly $98 billion from the day before. It's the first time it has ever exceeded $19.3 trillion. The debt will soar higher still in the coming months, and is expected to approach $20 trillion by the time President Obama leaves office. 

The total debt had been essentially flat since March, when it hit $19.2 trillion. Growth in the national debt often slows or plateaus in the spring and early summer, as tax receipts in April help balance out federal spending that's on a current pace to exceed receipts by $500 billion.

The Benefits Of Austerity

 

Barack Obama

 

This is a continuation of the January 19, 2015 article "New Financial Crisis Hits America Confirming Previous Site Claims." In 2008 America was hit by a severe financial crisis that created widespread unemployment, foreclosures and business closures (How George Bush Destroyed The U.S. Economy). Trillions of dollars have been lost due to the crisis, which began under former U.S. president, George W. Bush and his extremely poor and negligent fiscal polices the Judiciary Report saw coming and warned against (Ben Bernake Didn't See The Financial Crisis Coming). Bush's successor, U.S. president, Barack Obama, won the 2008 election and assumed office in the first quarter of 2009.  

Obama undertook a fiscally risky and dangerous course of action regarding the badly battered U.S. economy. Obama took the Hollywood approach of spend your way out of debt, which does not work. Obama has spent more money that any other president in U.S. history to disastrous results. America's debt levels are now enormously high and completely unsustainable. The 2008 financial crisis has now rebooted itself in what many financial analysts are now saying is worst that its predecessor. Years ago, the Judiciary Report predicted this would happen.

From the inception of Obama's presidency, the Judiciary Report advocated austerity, a small tax increase on the rich and increased production in the manufacturing sector of America's companies. This was not done and now the rotten fruit of the government's poor choices are cropping up and it is not pretty.
   
Austerity is not a bad word. It simply means making budget cuts in reining in unruly spending. Many nations have done this when financial troubles hit and it works. The Obama Administration could have cut billions of dollars from government budgets, hundreds of millions of dollars in padded government expense accounts, bad multi-billion dollar deals rewarding his campaign donors and wasteful government spying that has cost the American taxpayer hundreds of billions of dollars. The wars in the Middle East from Bush to Obama's tenure, which are making America and the west less safe, has cost the U.S. taxpayer approximately $2 trillion dollars. In total, a good $4 trillion dollars have been wasted and America is again mired in a financial crisis causing suffering in the nation. Imagine the good $4 trillion could have done in building up America. The nation would have been stronger and more prosperous than ever.
   
Austerity is not an unfamiliar concept in America. Former U.S. president, Bill Clinton, made proper budget cuts during his tenure in the 1990s and America greatly prospered for it. Clinton left America with healthy financial surpluses. However, Bush squandered it all, nearly $1 trillion dollars on wars and other wild spending he misrepresented to the American public and the world.
   
However, in Washington, a number of government officials employed the attitude of everyman for himself. Government officials refused to take financial cuts to their lavish expense accounts being underwritten by the American taxpayer. The Obama Administration, much like its predecessor Bush, took care of campaign donors with big  financial deals paid for by the American taxpayers. These deals produced nothing of financial significance for the American taxpayer, only serving to aid in the depletion of the U.S. treasury. Obama expanded the Bush Administration's illegal national surveillance programs spying on the American people, wasting a few hundred billion dollars of the taxpayers money.

America is now at an unfamiliar place for the nation, having slipped from its prominent spot in the world, as other nations such as China and Britain, who both have significant wealth, advance on the international stage. The U.S. government needs to embrace austerity and justice or America is going to sink. This financial corruption and waste is toxic. The next administration needs to realize the crisis facing the nation and take steps to remedy it or the federal government is going to collapse and cause terrible ripple effects that negatively impact each U.S. state.

The Obamas Cost American Taxpayers $70,000,000 In Luxury Vacations And Fought To Hide The Bills Showing The Lavish Spending

Using Taxpayer Money As Your Personal Piggy Bank

Barack Obama looking uncool 

After repeatedly objecting to Freedom Of Information Act requests, regarding expenses related to luxury vacations taken by U.S. President Obama and his family, documents have finally been released due to a Judicial Watch lawsuit. It immediately becomes obvious why Obama and his Secret Service fought to unlawfully and unethically hide the files in violation of congressional law. Some of the hidden files now reveal the Obamas have cost the American taxpayer a whopping $70,880,035.78 in luxury vacations 99% of the world could only dream of taking. 

Yes, because kicking your foot out like you have a Charlie Horse will help the ball go in the hole

At a time when the economy is bad in America, many people are struggling to make ends meet and a record number of individuals are below the poverty line, it is highly inappropriate that the Obamas are taking such luxury vacations. The Obama's Christmas vacation in Hawaii a year ago cost the U.S. taxpayers $8,000,000. Haven't they ever heard of a staycation, where you stay your backside at home, because you can't afford to pay for an out of town vacation. 

Obama posing for the cameras on one of his multi-million dollar vacations

There are so many homeless, hungry people in America that it is messed up to think the Obamas spent that much money on vacations. It is inexcusable and shows a great lack of conscience. I'm not stating they can't have a vacation, but $70,880,035.78 worth is egregiously excessive by any decent person's standards (and some of the expenses remain hidden, as 28 incriminating pages have been held back). If I were in office anywhere in the world I would have never done something like that at the taxpayers' expense. That money could have been put to far greater use.

Obama in Hawaii with his hand in his pocket...and that of the American taxpayers

 

Side Bar: What was the sense of Congress enacting the Freedom Of Information Act, when agencies like the FBI, Secret Service, NSA and CIA routinely flout it in violation of the law. Ask any journalist or blogger who has tried to obtain documents under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and you will be apprised of the fact the government is one of the least transparent in the world, despite claiming to be otherwise. 

Obama in Hawaii wasting millions in taxpayer money

Federal agencies will lie, hide files, move files out of the office, misfile items under deliberately misspelled names so when the FOIA request is submitted they can pretend in writing it can't be found or does not exist. If it is incriminating to someone well known, you pay certain federal employees the right bribe and they will hide the files, even if there is a public threat to health, life and safety. They will hide the criminal conduct of people and companies greatly endangering the public's health and safety. They will hide the crimes of the rich and or famous. They will suppress serious investigations into financial crimes. It is completely disgraceful, dishonorable and dishonest. 

Shhh, don't tell the American people I'm ripping them off

However, a time is coming when some government employees will face serious federal charges in criminal court for hiding terrible FOIA files, because you can only disgrace Congress so much to the nation and the world via your bad behavior they are legally charged with keeping watch over and in check, before they sacrifice your freedom to protect the legislature's name and image.

Judicial Watch: Secret Service Expenses for Obama’s 2013 Hawaii Christmas Vacation Cost Taxpayers $316,698.03, Taxpayers Paid Over $8 Million for 17-Day Vacation

DECEMBER 29, 2015 - (Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it recently received expense records from the Department of Homeland Security revealing that Secret Service expenses for the Obama family vacation to Honolulu during December 2013-January 2014 cost taxpayers at least $316,698.03. These new expenses bring the total for the Hawaii Christmas vacation trip to $8,098,060.33. The Secret Service waited nearly two years to produce the requested numbers to Judicial Watch.

The heavily redacted records were obtained on December 28 in response to a January 6, 2014, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. According to the records:

$91,751.78 in car rental expenses were paid. $224,974.05 in accommodation expenses were paid to Cabana Girl, LLC and Paradise Luxury Rentals. The documents are heavily redacted and the Secret Service is withholding 28 pages in their entirety. Saying he was “eager to skip town” Obama took his family to Honolulu on December 20, 2013, for a 17-day Christmas vacation. As reported by The Washington Post:

The presidential motorcade ferried the Obamas across Oahu, the state’s most populous island, to the well-to-do oceanfront neighborhood of Kailua, where as in years past they have rented a private home for what this time will be a 17-day holiday vacation. For the sixth straight year, Obama plans to spend Christmas and New Year’s in Hawaii, gathering with extended family and friends — and, yes, perfecting his golf game.

In March 2014, Judicial Watch released flight expense records from the U.S. Department of the Air Force revealing that for this Hawaii vacation the Obamas incurred $7,781,361.30 in flight expenses alone (36.9 hours at $210,877 an hour). This was the first Judicial Watch FOIA request about Obama’s security costs the Secret Service has answered since July, 2014.

Last month, Judicial Watch separately sued the Department of Homeland Security for ignoring 19 other FOIA requests. The FOIA lawsuit asks the court to enjoin the Secret Service from continuing to withhold responsive documents from Judicial Watch (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security (No. 1:15-cv-01983)). The known total expense to the American taxpayers thus far for all Obama travel is now $70,880,035.78.

“It seems our lawsuits finally got the attention of the Secret Service. It is easy to see why the Secret Service, reeling from its own scandals, covered up these outrageous expense numbers for just one of Obama’s luxury Christmas vacation,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The $317,000 in Secret Service expenses are only the tip of the iceberg for the true cost of Obama’s 2013 vacation in Hawaii, which has now skyrocketed to $8,098,060. It is nice to know that Obama’s ‘tradition’ of Christmas vacations in Hawaii comes courtesy of overburdened taxpayers.”

Obama Doubled America's National Debt To Unsustainable Levels

Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama has doubled the national debt in America to $20 trillion dollars. Obama's unruly, fruitless financial waste, has created a economic nightmare that will not be easily solved. No nation in world history has flourished under such massive debt. In fact, nations have financially collapsed under similar debt to GDP ratios. America is not earning the type of money as a nation to handle that debt load. The Obama Administration is tinkering with national data to hide the monstrosity of debt and what any person who knows even a modicum about economics realizes - the nation is headed for disaster.  

America does not occupy the same financial spot it once did in the world, with a deterioration that began under former president George W. Bush. However, Obama has spend more money than any president in U.S. history making the problem infinitely worse. To make matters even worse, Obama has blocked financial initiatives that have cost America many billions of dollars in revenue streams, under his tree-hugging hippy ways that don't amount to anything at the bank.

$20 trillion man: National debt nearly doubles during Obama presidency

By Dave Boyer - The Washington Times - Sunday, November 1, 2015 - When President Obama signs into law the new two-year budget deal Monday, his action will bring into sharper focus a part of his legacy that he doesn’t like to talk about: He is the $20 trillion man. Mr. Obama’s spending agreement with Congress will suspend the nation’s debt limit and allow the Treasury to borrow another $1.5 trillion or so by the end of his presidency in 2017. Added to the current total national debt of more than $18.15 trillion, the red ink will likely be crowding the $20 trillion mark right around the time Mr. Obama leaves the White House.

When Mr. Obama took over in January 2009, the total national debt stood at $10.6 trillion. That means the debt will have very nearly doubled during his eight years in office, and there is much more debt ahead with the abandonment of “sequestration” spending caps enacted in 2011. “Congress and the president have just agreed to undo one of the only successful fiscal restraint mechanisms in a generation,” said Pete Sepp, president of the National Taxpayers Union. “The progress on reducing spending and the deficit has just become much more problematic.”

Rapper Birdman Stops Paying His Bills In Miami In A Continuing Financial Decline

Birdman

Entertainers and athletes sometimes suffer from bad planning. Rapper and Cash Money owner, Birdman, is no different. For years he flaunted his wealth with wasteful financial displays, but according to the latest report, his money problems have worsened. Birdman, real name, Bryan Williams, owes $12,447.28 in maintenance fees on his condo in Miami. He has not paid his homeowners association fees in months with reports of bounced checks. 

Considering tens of millions of dollars have flown through Birdman's hands, this was preventable. The Judiciary Report constantly advocates proper financial planning and careful spending. Birdman spent money putting mink in his cars as upholstery and on his feet, via shoes, in ostentatious purchases that quickly depreciated. He purchased a mansion in Miami and over renovated it for the area. He spent six figures on one chandelier alone and imported a fortune in marble. 

Birdman has wasted several million dollars on buying luxury cars and customizing them, for vehicles that have lost 70 percent of their worth. He has also wasted a lot of money on entourages, women and partying, to the tune of millions of dollars. That's money that could have been working for him in a sensible side business outside the industry. 

Previously, the Judiciary Report covered Birdman's financial woes that began to surface this year (Young Money Becoming Broke Money As Creditors Sue Lil Wayne And Company ). However, he like many mainstream stars believed the money would always be coming in. Making huge sums of money and continually in the business is the exception and not the rule.

Young Money Becoming Broke Money As Creditors Sue Lil Wayne And Company

Young Money

For years Cash Money Records, established in 1991 and its spin off, Young Money Entertainment, founded in 2005, have lived lavishly in the hip hop world, buying expensive mansions, cars, jewelry and clothes. The trappings of wealth became apart of their image. The rap stars fronting the outfit, Birdman (Bryan Williams) and Lil Wayne (Dwayne Carter) spent money like it is water, in a flashy show of wealth that strengthened their appeal in the rap world among select audiences. 

Lil Wayne

However, all is not well with the companies' finances. Years of excessive spending and unlawful financial dealings have caught up with the company. Both labels have lost lawsuits for breach of contract. There are also many copyright infringement lawsuits against Cash Money and Young Money, filed by famous songwriters, producers and publishers, as well as up and coming talent who contend in court they were ripped off. 

Birdman

The rap collective is facing fresh lawsuits filed by creditors for millions of dollars in debt they have defaulted on, with more claims on the way. An aviation company has sue Young Money for $1,000,000 in unpaid bills, over a customized Gulfstream private jet that runs $55,000 per month. Lil Wayne lost a lawsuit against Quincy Jones III and was ordered to pay him $2,200,000 for blocking the release of the documentary "The Carter 3" leading to a loss in profits. Wayne is also facing a lawsuit for $250,000 over the domain name Young Money, after failing to pay the remaining balance on the agreed to fee of $600,000. 

Nicki Minaj

Exacerbating their financial trouble is the fact Birdman, 45 and Lil Wayne, 31 have purchased lavish mansions in Miami for millions of dollars and made expensive upgrades to the properties in trying to live like the fictional 1980s Miami movie character Tony Montana from their favorite film "Scarface" (thankfully for me the Golden Girls, also set in Miami, was my favorite show when I was a kid in the 1980s and it costs nothing to live like them LOL). 

Rapper Chief Keef Faces Second Eviction As Sheriffs Remove Him From His Luxury Chicago Apartment For Non-Payment Of Rent

Chief Keef 

A number of celebrities in the music, film and sports industries suffer from poor financial planning. It has been happening for decades. When they get their first checks, they indulge buying everything they ever wanted and many end up broke. Stars often don't pace themselves and as a result end up making poor financial choices, pardon the pun. This is why proper financial guidance and planning are important, a topic the Judiciary Report has repeatedly covered over the years. 

Chief Keef  (right) in the rented mansion he faced eviction over in 2013

Troubled teenage rapper Chief Keef, 18, has been evicted from the luxury apartment he was renting in Chicago, Illinois, for non-payment of rent. Keef owes four months in rent totaling $11,000. This marks the second time he has faced eviction in the past two years. Keef also rented a mansion on the outskirts of Chicago and stopped submitting rent, forcing legal proceedings (Chief Keef Arrest Warrant Cancelled New Court Date Set).

Three of Chief Keef's cars 

This should not have happened. Keef was given a record deal worth $6,000,000 with a multi-million dollar advance, to be recouped against future earnings. He also did many shows, pulling in over $1,000,000. He had an estimated $3,000,000 in cash on hand, but his money has been mismanaged. Excessive spending by the rapper, who purchased $1,000,000 in cars, rather than a home, was an imprudent financial decision. Cars depreciate, whereas homes usually appreciate in value.

Rihanna’s Net Worth Is Not What She Bragged About During Twitter Fight With Teyana Taylor

Rihanna

During the 2013 Twitter fight with singer Teyana Taylor, Rihanna arrogantly bragged that her net worth is $95,000,000, claiming the former is broke. Rihanna also previously stated with scorn “I hate broke bi****s.” However, it has been revealed today that in 2009, Rihanna was broke. What a hypocrite. TMZ also stated Rihanna’s net worth is $44,000,000 (not $95,000,000). And knowing the industry, which is mostly smoke and mirror, Rihanna doesn’t even have $44,000,000. 

Rihanna’s ongoing lawsuit with her former accounts Berdon LLP reveals she went broke due to overspending and poor financial management. She bought a poorly constructed, defective house she could not afford with ill-gotten gains she ended up losing, when she had to sell the house at a $2,500,000 loss. That was her choice. She saw the house and wanted it. No one forced her to buy it.

However, Rihanna blames the firm for her woes in losing millions on the house, as well as many more in touring. However, considering Rihanna’s income is criminally derived from copyright infringement, a federal and international crime, it was just that she lose that which she stole from others. It's just a matter of time before it all catches up with her. As the phrase goes, "God doesn't like ugly."

Lindsay Lohan's Family Home In Foreclosure Again

Dina Lohan mug shot after her arrest for driving under the influence (DUI)

Dina Lohan, the mother of fallen Hollywood actress, Lindsay Lohan, has been hit with foreclosure papers again on the family's Long Island home. She was served the legal documents by Chase bank two weeks before she was arrested for DUI. Several months ago, Lindsay Lohan gave her mother $40,000 to save the family home after prostituting herself as an escort for a wealthy foreign billionaire this past Christmas (ho ho ho - literally).  

The $40,000 was for missed payments on the $1,100,000 home. Dina, Lindsay's former manager, has fallen behind on payments again, thus renewed foreclosure proceedings. This should not have happened. Had the Lohan's spent less money on designer clothes, cars and cocaine, the mortgage on the home would have been paid off years ago.

The Lohans had millions go through their hands when Lindsay's career was booming. However, high living, shopping sprees, drugs, and partying depleted their funds and destroyed her career. Entertainers need to learn to save their money when their careers are going well, because most careers do not last for a significant period of time.

Considering NSA Spying Has Not Really Aided In Thwarting Terrorist Attacks Should It Be Scaled Back

 

Barack Obama

There is proposed legislation designed to scale back the National Security Agency’s illegal spying on Americans. Recently, Congress discovered only one questionable terrorist attempt may have been averted by NSA spying, with emphasis on may have been.

President Obama and Congress claimed ignorance regarding the full extent of the NSA’s illegal spying and as such, legislation is in the works to address the criminal breaches of the U.S. Code and Constitution. Not to mention, the costs of spying on so many Americans is astronomical, well into the billions, usurping taxpayer money that could be better utilized elsewhere on items such as the education, the poor and homeless.

Rihanna's Overspending Causing Money Problems

 

Rihanna

Word is singer Rihanna is losing money left, right and center. Her "Diamonds" concert tour is not making the money it was projected to, as select dates were cancelled, people demanded refunds on tour stops where she showed up late and the bad buzz around the jaunt has resulted in lower ticket sales.

Rihanna is spending money on herself, greedy family members living lavishly and her manly house boy house girl, Melissa Forde, who is supposed to be her personal assistant, but is only there to sexually service her (on and off again boyfriend Chris Brown is too busy with model Karrueche Tran).

Rihanna is also losing money due to court cases for copyright infringement and financial fraud. Her record sales have experienced a massive decline with projects not recouping well. She also has a raging cocaine habit and demands high grade weed and booze, all eating into her funds. However, she continues to live lavishly, while funds are going down and the U.S. government is owed money in taxes.

Fantasia Loses Mansion In Foreclosure After Wasting Money On Married Man

Fantasia

American Idol winner, Fantasia Barrino, is the latest star to lose a property to foreclosure. Rather than fight the foreclosure, Fantasia signed the $1,100,000 North Carolina house over to the bank. This marks the second time it entered foreclosure territory. Barrino even tried selling the house for $500,000 less than she purchased it for, but there were no takers.

Problems occurred when Barrino began living beyond her means and wasting money. The Judiciary Report has consistently written that people should save their money, not spending it all at once, expecting more will roll in.

Fantasia bought too many luxury vehicles and designer clothes. To make matters worse, she began wining and dining a married man, Antwaun Cook, buying him expensive clothes and taking the adulterer on lavish vacations. Said money could have gone to paying her mortgage. Another option would have been renting out the property.

Fantasia's foreclosed home

With all the single men about, Fantasia should have chosen one of them and saved her money. The Judiciary Report stated from the start Cook did not love her and was only with her for the money and fame. Now one’s gone and the second is fading.

Due to my dad’s job and that of many of our family friends, I’ve seen and heard about many stars hitting hard times, after being famous. That’s how the industry has always worked. One minute your up and the next, not so much.

To survive fame, you have to keep your wits about you, save your money, pick safe investments and do not indulge in vices such as drugs or end up on the scrap heap, broke and broken like so many before you. When you think about it, fame can be a sick game.

Don't Let Her Bankrupt You

Relationships can be difficult. Finding the right person for you, especially when you have money, can be tricky. Some women are shameless gold diggers. They use their looks to get men they do not really have feelings for to get to their money. Women of all races have done this, rather than supporting themselves. It really isn't fair to deceive a person that you care for them, when you're after their money.

One woman I know married a man twice her age because he has money, but she's not in love with him. They are as unhappy as can be. That's not to say people with age differences can't fall in love and marry, because they do all the time and some happily make it work. Older men often have their act together in terms of knowing how to treat a woman, where as younger men are sometimes immature.

There's a guy I know whose girlfriend is using him for money. All of us can tell she is using him for his money, but for some reason he is not getting the picture. She's always asking him to buy her stuff - everything is "get me this" "can I have that" "I want this" "buy me that" or "I need this." She is slowly but surely bankrupting him, as he has racked up some serious bills trying to make the gold digger happy. And when she does bankrupt him, we his friends, will have to help him out.

But men do this as well. One of my friends has a lot of money, but you would never know it as she lives a fairly modest life. However, as my family helped her with a financial transaction, we know she has a lot of money hidden all over the place. She is very shrewd and the one boyfriend that tried to burn her in the area of money proverbially got dragged through court upside down for it. We haven't seen him since (LOL).

However, another of my friends fell in love with this guy, who was a salesman. She thought he cared about her, but he was using her. She is a very giving person with a kind heart, so to help him with his job, she used $10,000 of her life savings to buy from the company he works for, as he would get the commission for the sale. I never trusted him and begged her four times not to spend the money, telling her to save for a rainy day (especially in this economy).

He led her on and they dated. She was happy for a little while and I was happy for her, but got a bad feeling about it. She bought him an expensive mobile phone because he said his was giving trouble. One day she came to me asking about buying a computer, because I'm the tech expert in our circle of friends. I told her she didn't have to buy the high-end computer she was asking me about and I'd get her a good low priced built one that does all the same things. Then she told me it wasn't for her, it was for him and the high end computer is what he requested. Oh, I nearly lost it. I walked her right out of the computer store. I don't like it when people take advantage of my family or friends. 

Usually I'm very polite, but the one time I met him, I was giving this dude some serious "side eye" (I was staring him down like my name was Suge Knight) because I like to follow my instincts and got a bad vibe about him. Months later, she found out he is married with kids...this is after he borrowed money from her, on top of what she gave him in sales. She was devastated. People don't think when they use others it has an emotional effect, while some just don't care, only in it for themselves.

The sad part is her boyfriend before him was nicer, did thoughtful things for her, got along with everyone and anytime anything went wrong, he was always there for her. Thankfully they got back together after she gave the married male gold digger the boot.

In closing, I'm not a materialistic person, but in this world money is a factor. If you're in a relationship, it's great to be kind, generous and loving with each other. Just make sure you aren't being used and taken advantage of by someone who really doesn't care about you, only about your money. Because when your money is gone, they will be too.

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.  

President Obama Slams Spending Cuts Labeling Them 'Dumb'

U.S. President Barack Obama is angered that $85 billion in budget cuts have gone into effect, due to the much talked about sequester. The president referred to the budget cuts "dumb." However, as much as the president is not in favor of the budget cuts, the government is spending too much money.

Barack Obama

It's a bad sign that even with the economy still facing tough times, members of Congress are unable to compromises, having to force their plans through, as opposed to coming to a mutual agreement. Both political parties are guilty of this.

Lindsay Lohan In More Tax Trouble For Non-Payment

Recently it was announced that trouble prone Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan owes the U.S. Government $235,000 in back taxes she refused to pay, despite earning enough to do so and meet her other financial obligations. After pimping herself out to actor Charlie Sheen, another industry train wreck, but one that managed to hold on to some of his money, Lohan was given $100,000 to pay down her debt.

However, today is has been announced, Lohan is in more tax trouble, as newer taxes she refused to pay, this time to the state of California, in the sum of $57,000, have been added to her tab. When the government sees her renting luxury homes for $10,000 per month, buying designer clothes for tens of thousands of dollars and renting sports cars, but not paying her tax bill, it will infuriate them, causing them to come after her.

It's time for Lohan to live within her means, as no one believes she is as rich as she once was and in trying to keep up appearances rather than meet her actual obligations, such as taxes, she is doing herself more financial injury and turning off potential employers.

Lindsay Lohan Moves Back In With Her Mom But Now Their Home Has Been Hit With Foreclosure Papers

Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan's financial woes continue. After selling her body as an escort and living the high life for a couple weeks, actress Lindsay Lohan has crashed back down to earth once again, after moving back in with her mom and their $1,300,000 Merrick, Long Island (New York) family home being placed in foreclosure.

Sorry, I have no pity for Lohan in this manner. I've helped people with financial problems, in assisting them with navigating through the legal system and negotiating with banks to save their homes, but these were hardworking everyday folks doing what they were supposed to, but due to the economy, saw their salaries decrease.

Lohan, however, is a spoiled actress with entitlement issues that blows every dime she gets. Several months ago she was given $300,000 to star in the television film "Liz & Dick." But rather than buy a sensible condo in Los Angeles for $200,000, she opted to blow the money living the high life in a Beverly Hills rental home and at the Château Marmont hotel, where suites run from several hundred to thousands of dollars per night. You're not Bill Gates. Living at the Château Marmont was not a good idea for you.

Not to mention, when the IRS saw her living it up at the Château Marmont and driving around in a $100,000 Porsche (albeit a rented one she wrecked) and not paying her taxes, they froze her bank accounts. This led to her having sex with fellow cocaine addict Charlie Sheen, who gave her $100,000 to help reduce her $250,000 tax bill.

Lindsay Lohan's family home is in foreclosure

In December, Lohan became an escort to a rich Arab man, who paid her $75,000 for her, um, escort services for New Years Eve. He allowed her to stay at his family's hotel for two additional weeks with her drug addled mom, before giving her the boot.

Now Lindsay's back home with her mom. However, that security was short-lived, as she and mom, Dina have been foreclosed on by the bank, who seek to seize her childhood home.

There's a lesson to be learned in her story. I keep writing about it and while some listen, some don't believing they have everything under control. When you receive a check, learn to save some of your money, as you never know what could happen. Don't blow it all living the high life, expecting the money will always pour in. Not to mention, that same high life some are living is destroying their name to the public and in the business world.

Getting drunk and or high and or being sexually ambiguous or promiscuous will destroy many potential endorsement deals and sponsorships, as product makers and services never know what said celebrity will say or do and the impact it could potentially have on their products.

They don't know how to brand someone engaging in said behavior and avoid celebrities attached to it. That wild behavior won't seem like fun when you're saddled with addictions, can't pay your rent or mortgage and lost several hundred thousand to millions of dollars in the long run in work and endorsements, simply because you were cutting loose in public. You need to stop. You're hurting yourself.

Furthermore, to opt for living in a hotel for weeks and months, rather than using that same money to buy even a small condo, is not a good idea. Spending your money on flash cars and clothes, then not being able to pay for where you live is also a bad idea. There's nothing wrong with buying small. There's nothing wrong with getting a one bedroom house or condo. Trying to keep up appearances in a massive mansion or mega hotel suite you can't afford in the long run, will bankrupt you.

Lindsay Lohan Fires Effective Lawyer After Owing Her $300,000

Lindsay Lohan high again

Lindsay Lohan has fired her glamorous lawyer, Shawn Holley Champman, who practices law in California, after the long suffering woman kept her out of jail time after time. The ungrateful actress, who was recently torn to shreds in the prestigious New York Times, for her bad behavior and ingratitude to those around her, thinks she can do better. It's more like she reportedly owes Holley $300,000 in legal fees for nearly two years of non-payment. Meanwhile she keeps buying expensive designer clothes and renting luxury vehicles.

The face Lohan gives most bills

According to TMZ, Lohan has retained a New York lawyer, Mark Heller, who is not admitted to the California bar, which poses a problem for the fallen actress' legal cases out West. As many of you know, Lohan was arrested in New York recently on fresh charges of assault. How does she manage to be an actress and have cases on both coasts. Not even Suge Knight does that.

Shawn Chapman Holley: No this little heifer didn't just fire me, owing me all this money!

The Judiciary Report is going to start calling her Suge Lohan, for trying to knock folks out. However, even Suge with all his IRS problems has more money than Lohan, who has no one to blame but herself for her problems. Over $500,000 went through Lohan's hands last year, yet she is broke again and still owing the IRS $100,000. 

People Are Waiting For Obama's FBI Director Robert S. Mueller To Leave His Job So They Can Come After Him...

 They Want To Kick His Butt...In Court (You Too Holder)

 FBI Director Robert S. Mueller and President Barack Obama

Since 2001, Robert S. Mueller, has been head of the FBI and has run it into the ground. Under his watch, September 11th occurred, as well as record multi-billion dollar spending, a significant amount of it wasteful, such as the computer system fiasco and American civil liberties have evaporated, in favor of spying on many innocent people in the United States.

I heard it through the grapevine that a number of people, both domestically and internationally, who Mueller has crossed in his capacity as FBI director, are waiting for him to vacate his post shortly, to come after him for unlawful things he did in abusing his position. Some of said people are very well-connected, capable and ruthless.

Robert S. Mueller

Why is it some people greedily and selfishly pursue high level government jobs, abuse their post for egotistical and financial reasons and in the process make many unnecessary enemies, not thinking ahead to the time when situations change and they are no longer in the job. The same people you see on the way up are often the same ones you see on the way down. Only, when you cross the wrong folks, they will have their foot extended on your way back down to shove it straight up your...
