Feds Threaten Florida Pet Owners With a ‘War on Cats’
by Shifra on December 5, 2016Remember when the US Government would declare war on our enemies, instead of cats? Good times…. Via Daily Signal. An overzealous federal agency is targeting Florida cats in a pest removal operation and it’s becoming a huge problem for pet owners…. In 2014, the Fish and Wildlife Service implemented a pest management plandesigned to trap cats that the agency perceived as a threat to the Key Largo woodrat. The furry targets of this sting operation were accused of trespassing on federal land, which is a woodrat habitat, and doing what cats do best: hunt and kill rats. Instead of focusing only on the large swaths of feral cats that pose the primary threat to the rats’ survival on the island,...

Feds Offer Tips for Fighting “Climate Change” On Thanksgiving
by Shifra on November 22, 2016Here’s another tip: Obama, Pelosi, Howard Dean and all other Dems ranting about the election should just stuff their faces with pie on Thanksgiving. Less talking, less CO2, less “Climate Change.” You’re welcome. Via Washington Examiner. The federal government is worried that America is too stressed out to deal with Thanksgiving dinner safely so at least two departments have entered to help everybody live through the uniquely American holiday while also curbing global warming…. USDA is offering tips to help cooks win applause. Or, as they blogged Monday, “To avoid making everyone at the table sick, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service offers five tips for a food safe Thanksgiving.” Among them: Don’t wash the bird...

Chinese Cigarette Cleanup Campaign Crashes
by Shifra on November 6, 2016This is a great example of Big-Government, poorly-conceived, half-baked ideas that do not work. Remember Cash for Clunkers? Via WSJ. More than 300 million people smoke in China, translating into 2.5 trillion cigarettes sold last year. Chinese smokers aren’t known for their enthusiasm for ashtrays. That means the country’s butt litter is overwhelming, and often in hard-to-reach places, like sidewalk crevices, park lawns and street gutters. Shengzhou, a city of 730,000 south of Shanghai, took a stand…. In Shengzhou’s effort, the incentive was a big draw. With each tissue pack costing about 37 cents, residents said that one single butt was worth more than a recycled plastic bottle, which gets only about half a penny. The prestigious tissue brand— Bo...

Congress Knew for 2 Years About Efforts to Take Back Veteran Bonuses
by Tammy on October 25, 2016Oh sure, Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer are outraged just outraged at the effort to clawback our troops bonuses. Yet strangely enough they’re known about it for two years and have done nothing. Via Military.com The California National Guard told the state’s members of Congress two years ago that the Pentagon was trying to claw back re-enlistment bonuses from thousands of soldiers, and even offered a proposal to mitigate the problem, but Congress took no action, according to a senior National Guard official. The official added that improper bonuses had been paid to National Guard members in every state, raising the possibility that many more soldiers may owe large debts to the Pentagon. “This is a national issue...

Illegals Seeking Asylum Up 900%, Get Social Security, Welfare, School Loans
by Tammy on October 19, 2016The dismantling of the country continues. Like ObamaCare which needed to fail in order for the bureacracy to morph it into nationalized (single-payer) healthcare, one way you can destroy capitalism is to bankrupt the country while destroying the economic engine (the middle class). The Democrats are on their way to doing both. Via Washington Examiner. The number of illegals seeking asylum to gain easy access to the United States has jumped 900 percent in less than 10 years, greatly expanding the Immigration population receiving Social Security, school loans, green cards, welfare and other taxpayer funded services, according to figures from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. While about 8,000 mostly Latin Americans in 2009 sought asylum, the number is expected...

Obama’s Army of Public Relations Staffers Costs U.S. Taxpayers $500M Per Year
by Tammy on October 5, 2016You read that right– half a BILLION dollars to spread his BS. And we’re paying for it. This madness has GOT to stop. Via Washington Times. President Obama hired hundreds of additional public relations employees to sell his administration’s policies, at a total cost to taxpayers of nearly half a billion dollars a year, the government’s chief watchdog reported Wednesday. Mr. Obama added some 667 PR staffers between 2008, the last full year under his predecessor, and 2011, when staffing levels peaked at 5,238 — a spike of 15 percent during those years. The number has since slipped, but there were still nearly 5,100 PR staffers in the administration in 2014, according to figures from the Government Accountability Office. That...

Yahoo Secretly Scanned Customer Emails for U.S. Intelligence – Sources
by Tammy on October 4, 2016And Edward Snowden is the problem. Got it. Yahoo did this in cahoots with the federal government. Maybe they should have just focused on Hillary’s servers. Just saying. Big data and big government, K-I-S-S-I-N-G… Via Reuters. Yahoo Inc last year secretly built a custom software program to search all of its customers’ incoming emails for specific information provided by U.S. intelligence officials, according to people familiar with the matter. The company complied with a classified U.S. government directive, scanning hundreds of millions of Yahoo Mail accounts at the behest of the National Security Agency or FBI, said two former employees and a third person apprised of the events. Some surveillance experts said this represents the first case to surface of...

Feds Spend $839,291 for Kids to Play ‘Me Games’
by Shifra on September 26, 2016Over $800,000 so teenagers can “experience possible selves” ? Ok, call me old-fashioned, but here’s a suggestion: How about teaching good reading skills and encouraging kids to read, so that they can “experience alternate realities” through books. Via Free Beacon. The National Institutes of Health is spending over $800,000 on a “virtual learning world” for poor teenagers so they can “experience possible selves.” A four-year study was awarded to Research, Evaluation, and Social Solutions, Inc. to create an afterschool program for kids to play “Me Games” that use virtual reality. “The word adolescence derives from the Latin word ‘adolescere,’ meaning, ‘to grow up,’” the grantfor the project begins. “Adolescence is a crucial period of transition between childhood and legal adulthood,...

Feds to Spend $4.6 Million to Give ‘Emotional Wellness’ to Refugees
by Tammy on September 14, 2016After 8 years of Obama and the Clintons continuing to harass us, I think any of our money being spent on “emotional wellness” better come to us. Great piece here from Free Beacon. The Obama administration plans to spend $4.6 million next year on health promotion and “emotional wellness” for refugees as President Obama plans a 30 percent increase in the number of refugees admitted into the country. The Department of Health and Human Services issued a grant forecast last month detailing its plans to issue health care grants for refugees on top of government programs that are already available, such as Medicaid. “The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) invites States to...

Scientists To Name New Fish Species After Obama; First Fish Named ‘Insufferable Jerk’ ?
by Tammy on September 4, 2016Upon hearing of his new name the fish, of course, immediately abandoned its job and went golfing. Obama’s being honored with this for federalizing even more of the US, ostensibly in the name of “conservation.” He created a “national monument” equal to the size of Texas, placing it under control of the federal government. The more the Fed takes, the less state sovereignty matters. We all love the animals and want to protect the earth, but the last thing that’s going to accomplish that is the federal government taking control. Bureaucrats and others who rely on the federal teat for their existence love this of course. Because the more of our land and water that is owned by the Fed,...

State Dept. Refuses To Release Hillary SecState Schedule Until After Election
by Tammy on August 26, 2016Like every other aspect of the federal government, this agency is no longer about serving the American people but serving and protecting their bosses and themselves. We can end this debacle starting on November 8th. We at least we will have a chance to reverse this corrupt decay. Via AP. Seven months after a federal judge ordered the State Department to begin releasing monthly batches of the detailed daily schedules showing meetings by Hillary Clinton during her time as secretary of state, the government told The Associated Press it won’t finish the job before Election Day. The department has so far released about half of the schedules. Its lawyers said in a phone conference with the AP’s lawyers that the...

Feds Spend $450,000… To Study If Air Conditioning Helps With Heat
by Shifra on August 18, 2016Almost as stupid as the “shrimp on a treadmill” study. Via MRCTV. Congratulations, American taxpayer! You’ve just doled out $450,000 to Arizona State University so researchers can study whether people get hot when it’s hot outside, and if turning on the A/C actually helps. The National Science Foundation just forked over nearly half a million bucks for the creation of “a simulation platform to enhance infrastructure and community resilience to extreme heat events.” The grant description explains this study is needed, of course, because we’re all roasting ourselves like rotisserie chickens under the heat lamp of man-made climate change. The grant theorizes that “exposure to heat is a growing public health concern in many cities across the globe,” but adds...

Prison Inmates Produced Defective Combat Helmets for US Soldiers
by Tammy on August 18, 2016Anyone involved in this, including “Defense Contract Management Agency inspectors” should face criminal charges if all this is proven correct. Via Washington Times. Federal prison inmates used makeshift hatchets and a screw shoved through a piece of wood among other rudimentary tools to manufacture thousands of faulty Kevlar combat helmets designed to protect the lives of U.S. soldiers on the battlefield, according to a highly critical watchdog report that offered new details about the government boondoggle. More than 126,000 helmets manufactured at a Texas prison under a government contract were recalled after inspectors found major defects, including serious ballistic failures, in 2010, according to a report issued Wednesday by the Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General. Even though the...

Feds Spend $50,400… For Book On Human Relationships With Old Trees
by Shifra on August 16, 2016And another Fed grant of $50,400… for a book on failure. The Feds could’ve saved some money by giving a grant to write one book on “The Failure of Government Wasting Tax Dollars on Idiotic Projects Such As Human Relationships with Old Trees.” You’re welcome. Via Free Beacon. The National Endowment for the Humanities is spending over $50,000 to publish a book about the relationships between humans and trees. The grant to Stony Brook University in New York was one of nearly 300 new projects approved by the agency this month. The project, “The Latest Oldest Tree: Survival Stories for a Time of Extinction,” received $50,400 for “research and writing leading to publication of a book on human relationships to...

Feds spend $2M To Tackle Carbon Footprint of… Broccoli
by Shifra on August 4, 2016Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, with broccoli “Broccoli consumption” has a carbon footprint? Who knew? Via CNS News. Over $2 million in taxpayer funds are going to “Developing an Eastern Broccoli Industry” through a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Grant. “Eastern consumers’ demand for local broccoli is high, but that demand cannot be met until sufficiently adapted varieties are available and the distribution network is expanded,” the non-technical summary for the project explains….. The grant highlights the benefits developing the eastern broccoli industry will have on climate change, “This expansion will also reduce the overall cost and carbon footprint of broccoli consumed in the East, increase food security by diversifying production areas, and provide rural economic development.” “National food security is...
