Federal Healthcare System is Failing Native Americans
by Shifra on July 3, 2016But Donald Trump calling Elizabeth Warren “Pocahontas” is the real problem? Via WSJ. Needless patient suffering, fatal delays in medical treatment and retaliation against whistleblowers. These are among the well-publicized failures investigators found at hospitals run by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Yet they are also the shameful hallmarks of another federal health-care system: the Indian Health Service. Part of the Department of Health and Human Services, the Indian Health Service is required by treaty to deliver health care to Native Americans around the country, with more than two million depending on this federal agency. Unfortunately, it appears to be failing. Tribal members have told the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs about alarming conditions at hospitals run by the IHS....

by Shifra on July 1, 2016But no money for veterans’ healthcare? Got it. Via Federal Times. A recent review of the Department of Interior’s mobile devices showed the agency is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on unused phones and tablets. Further, poor device management policies mean those that are being used suffer from security weaknesses.

Auditors investigated four bureaus — Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife and U.S. Geological Survey — and discovered they spent upwards of $605,000 a year on more than 1,500 unused devices….

by Tammy on June 17, 2016In an interview with the liberal rag Huffington Post, Paul Ryan took another swipe not just at Donald Trump, but every American who has already voted for him, and those who will. Via Fox News Radio. It’s astounding that the Speaker of the House, who is claiming to support Donald Trump, says he’ll take him to court if he tries to enact the policies he’s running on, like banning Muslims In an interview with the Huffington Post Thursday, Ryan floated taking a President Trump to court if he tried to implement such a ban or some of his other controversial proposals unilaterally. “I would sue any president that exceeds his or her powers,” Ryan said in a back-and-forth about Trump’s...

Syrian Immigrant Who Said 9/11 ‘Changed The World For Good’ Is A Homeland Security Adviser
by Tammy on June 14, 2016Surprise. Via Daily Caller. One of the sitting members on the Homeland Security Advisory Council’s (HSAC) Subcommittee on Countering Violent Extremism is a 25-year-old immigrant of Syrian heritage who said that the 9/11 attacks “changed the world for good” and has consistently disparaged America, free speech and white people on social media. Laila Alawa was one of just 15 people tapped to serve on the newly-formed HSAC Subcommittee on Countering Violent Extremism in 2015 — the same year she became an American citizen. Just last week, the subcommittee submitted a report to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, recommending that the DHS avoid using Muslim terminology like the words “sharia” and “jihad” when discussing terrorism. Alawa says she immigrated...

by Shifra on June 8, 2016But Feds have no money to improve waiting time for vets’ medical care? Got it. Via Daily Caller. Social Security Administration (SSA) officials spent $300 million over an eight-year period developing a new disability case processing software that is useless, according to the SSA Office of Inspector General (IG). The SSA began in 2008 seeking out alternatives for processing disability cases more efficiently and cost-effectively by combining multiple case management systems into one. Eight years later, what little the agency has developed through contractors is so useless SSA might be better off sticking with its old management systems, the IG found…. SSA didn’t consider sticking with its “legacy” systems when developing a new one became too complicated and costly, the...

Federal Agencies Knew Dulles Airport Guard Was Accused War Criminal
by Tammy on June 5, 2016And they tell us we have problems because TSA isn’t big enough, because government isn’t big enough and because the monster of government needs more, if not all, of your money. When the key problem is the malevolence and idiocy of a federal bureacuracy that views the people as the problem and itself as the only entity that matters. This disaster is an update to this story: Anything to declare? Somali ‘war criminal’ is now working security at Dulles International Airport. Via CNN. The local and federal agencies handling American airports could not explain Thursday why an accused war criminal was hired as a security guard at Dulles International Airport despite the fact that authorities knew about the serious allegations...

VA Sec Compares Wait Times at VA to Waiting for a Ride at Disneyland
by Tammy on May 23, 2016Can we declare an entire bureaucracy clinically insane? Just a note most of you already considered: waiting for health care when something is wrong with you and every minute may count, is not at all like waiting for a ride at Disneyland. With one, a wait can hasten your death, with the other, not so much. If you want to know what Single Payer looks like, this is it. Via Washington Examiner. Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald on Monday compared the length of time veterans wait to receive health care at the VA to the length of time people wait for rides at Disneyland, and said his agency shouldn’t use wait times as a measure of success because Disney doesn’t...

Rep. Chaffetz Introduces Censure Resolution for IRS Commissioner Koskinen
by Tammy on May 18, 2016A censure means nothing to these people. We are through with gestures. Technically this could lead to impeachment or some other punishment, but that wouldn’t even remotely happen until next year, and by then we will have hopefully begun our reformation of the Washington establishment. So this is more of the same during an election year from the Republicans. I don;t mean tobe a wet blanket here but this is theatre, and it’s too late. If there was one action regarding the IRS that should have been taken it would have been the arrest of Lois Lerner for contempt. But instead she’s off enjoying her $100,000 a year tax-payer funded pension. Via House Oversight Committee. Today, in advance of the...

Obama Gives Planned Parenthood $5M Grant Targeting Kids as Young as 5
by Tammy on May 17, 2016Of course he does. The bureaucracy will always award Planned Parenthood for funneling money to them through their PAC. It’s bureaucracy as Candyman, redistributing our tax dollars to their friends. And in this case, they get to help fund the indoctrination of your kids. One thing that we must influence Donald Trump on is his belief that PP deserves federal funding. The arguments against this are so persuasive, we must make a point of turning him on that issue. Via LifeNews. HT Weasel Zippers. The Obama Administration has put forth more than $5 million towards Planned Parenthood providing sex education to the children, some as young as 5, but pro-lifers and concerned parents are working to keep the abortion giant...

Over Half Of Prince’s Estate Will Go To Government
by Pat_S on April 30, 2016If he had been married or did some better tax planning it would have been less but still a windfall for the federal and Minnesota governments. Why Over Half of Prince’s Estate Will Go to the Government It appears that the pop star Prince may have died without a will, leaving behind a multi-million dollar and growing estate. Although Prince has one full sister and five half-siblings, Prince’s family members will not be his biggest heirs. Both the federal government and Minnesota’s state government will assess so-called “death taxes” or estate taxes on Prince’s assets, taking away more than half his estate. Between his physical assets—cash, investments, home, etc.—and his future royalties, Prince’s estate has been estimated to be between...

Identity Theft: SSA Correspondence Uses Americans Full Social Security Numbers
by Tammy on April 30, 2016The incompetence of the bureaucrats at federal government is so widespread and unbelievable it’s almost as if they’re deliberately trying to ruin our lives. Via Free Beacon. The Social Security Administration puts millions of Americans at risk for identity theft by putting their full Social Security Numbers on letters sent in the mail. The agency’s inspector general released an audit this week warning the government that by sending hundreds of millions of letters containing individual’s Social Security Numbers it puts them at risk for identity theft. “According to [the Social Security Administration] SSA, in 2015, it mailed about 233 million notices that included individuals’ full SSN,” the inspector general said. “We recognize SSA’s efforts can never eliminate the potential that...

Under Bernie’s Tax Plan, Every Income Bracket Loses
by Shifra on April 18, 2016Under Socialist Sanders’ plan, we will all be Bern victims. Via Daily Caller: Democratic 2016 presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders‘ tax plan has been talked about by everyone in the country, but as he gains traction in the polls it’s time to start wondering: “What would it mean for my paycheck?” While the self-described Democratic socialist said his economic proposals would provide free college, Medicare for all and a slew of other new welfare programs, the cost of the expansion of government is far steeper than he is letting on. Sanders, who has said moving people out of poverty is critical for the success of the country, would tax Americans from top to bottom to carry out his plan. Indeed, with...
