What The Hell Happened?

What The Hell Happened?

Liberal academia and elections of liberal democrats at all levels of government have led to different values as defined by their agendas, not the majority of Americans. At every turn you can look to liberal ideologies and find that it was actually their policies that have led to most of the problems facing our once great nation.

Looks like my theme and the latest upgrade from WordPress are not compatible. Readable, but not how I want it. I will be messing around with new themes so if things look different you will know why.

Time For A Select Committee

Time For A Select Committee

At this pace, Obama will be out of office and a new President will be running things. How can you expect anything or anyone held accountable at this snails pace of justice. Lots of bluster but no results. Issa

Nothing against Issa or Gowdy, but Obama can just ignore these scandals and be out of office before the truth ever comes out.

With the possibility that Hillary and Obama were both involved in Benghazi alone, and that could be an impeachable offense, I would certainly like to see swifter justice done.

Wealth Distribution

Wealth Distribution

Apparently Obama has decided to step away from his healthcare disaster and pivot to his other disaster, the US economy. And he wants to save us all by shrinking the income gap.

President Barack Obama says the income gap between America’s rich and poor is a “defining challenge of our time.”

Life isn’t fair, it never has been. In the immortal words of Judge Smails from Caddyshack:
tumblr_m7nnk6NmhE1qkwecbo1_400 (1) Danny Noonan: I planned to go to law school after I graduated, but it looks like my folks won’t have enough money to put me through college.
Judge Smails: Well, the world needs ditch diggers, too.

Life isn’t about fair. They didn’t have participation trophies back in my day, being unemployed was frowned upon, being on welfare or food stamps was considered an embarrassment. If you were on some kind of disability, your family and local charities helped out. Now all of these things are a way of life. Why work when you can live fat and happy on the government dole.

Wealth distribution or “income gap equality” as Barry likes to say goes against every principle America was built upon. If you are 30 years old and working at Burger King that is what you have chosen for yourself, if you don’t like the wages, get another job. 

 

 

 

Resarch Institute Sets Up DUI Road Blocks – WTF?

Resarch Institute Sets Up DUI Road Blocks – WTF?

Wow, let me get this straight. A research outfit out of Calverton, Maryland sets up shop by way of a roadblock in Texas and asks for swab, blood, and breath samples, and it is all financed with taxpayer funds? Talk about getting screwed without even so much as a kiss. Voluntary or not, it’s not right.

Federal contractors are setting up roadblocks in as many as 30 cities across the United States, stopping cars and asking for cheek swabs and blood samples from drivers.  The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it’s for “research” into drunk driving and that the samples are completely voluntary, but some drivers are saying it doesn’t quite feel voluntary. 

from NBCDFW:

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which is spending $7.9 million on the survey over three years, said participation was “100 percent voluntary” and anonymous.

But Cope said it didn’t feel voluntary to her — despite signs saying it was.

“I gestured to the guy in front that I just wanted to go straight, but he wouldn’t let me and forced me into a parking spot,” she said. Once parked, she couldn’t believe what she was asked next. “They were asking for cheek swabs,” she said. “They would give $10 for that. Also, if you let them take your blood, they would pay you $50 for that.” At the very least, she said, they wanted to test her breath for alcohol.

She said she felt trapped. “I finally did the Breathalyzer test just because I thought that would be the easiest way to leave,” she said, adding she received no money.

Fort Worth police earlier said they could not immediately find any record of officer involvement but police spokesman Sgt. Kelly Peel said Tuesday that the department’s Traffic Division coordinated with the NHTSA on the use of off-duty officers after the agency asked for help with the survey. “We are reviewing the actions of all police personnel involved to ensure that FWPD policies and procedures were followed,” he said. “We apologize if any of our drivers and citizens were offended or inconvenienced by the NHTSA National Roadside Survey.”

NBC DFW confirmed that the survey was done by a government contractor, the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation, which is based in Calverton, Md. A company spokeswoman referred questions to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. An agency spokeswoman sent an email confirming the government is conducting the surveys in 30 cities across the country in an effort to reduce impaired-driving accidents. She did not respond to another email from NBC DFW asking specific questions about the program..

But a Fort Worth attorney who is an expert in civil liberties law questioned whether such stops are constitutional. “You can’t just be pulled over randomly or for no reason,” said attorney Frank Colosi. He also noted the fine print on a form given to drivers informs them their breath was tested by “passive alcohol sensor readings before the consent process has been completed.”

“They’re essentially lying to you when they say it’s completely voluntary, because they’re testing you at that moment,” Colosi said.
