I doubt the average American has no idea who Valerie Jarrett is, but apparently, President Obama thinks she’s so important she needs Secret Service protection. Who knows, maybe she really is Obama’s brain.
Senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett apparently has Secret Service protection.
This is highly unusual, and of course, costly. I’ve never really heard of someone who is merely a senior White House aide getting assigned Secret Service agents.
My understanding is that at the senior levels of the Bush White House, at least during the latter days, only the president and his family, the vice president, the chief of staff, the national security adviser, and the homeland security adviser were assigned Secret Service agents.
It’s possible that Jarrett has received enough specific and credible threats to justify Secret Service protection, or that the Secret Service has for some other reason calculated that she needs bodyguards. But it’s also possible this is a case of oddly overdoing it – and overusing taxpayer resources. (Read More)
In related news, at an Atlanta church Jarrett delivered a highly partisan speech to commemorate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, right before the church held a voter registration drive. Shouldn’t Obama’s brain know this sort of activity violates IRS rules?
This church’s hosting of partisan statements and technically non-partisan activities threatens its tax-exempt status, according to rules posted on the IRS’ website.
“Voter education or registration activities with evidence of bias that (a) would favor one candidate over another; (b) oppose a candidate in some manner; or (c) have the effect of favoring a candidate or group of candidates, will constitute prohibited participation or intervention,” according to the IRS website.
The IRS has suspended the tax-exempt status of 501(c)3 churches and religious organizations following verified episodes where their officials have violated the IRS’ rules. On each occasion, the organization had to pay expensive legal fees and annual taxes to the IRS for the period when their tax-free status was suspended.
Read the whole thing. Jarrett wasn’t the only one being political.
It’s no surprise that Ms. Jarrett needs protection. She is one of Obama’s Progressive/Socialist/Marxist advisors and is a avowed enemy of a Constitutional America.
She, and others of her ilk, are terrifed that the citizenry may suddenly wake up and send them all to the next world.
That’s why the protection. They are scared.

This “church” will have no problem. The priest at my church is afraid to say the word “politics” for fear of losing his tax exemption. What a country! And they say that WE are the racists. Still think there is hope?
