Benghazi Hearing: Your Government at Work By Jonathan Karl May 8, 2013 12:00pm This is the strangest thing … As today’s big Benghazi hearing gets underway, Republicans are saying Ambassador Thomas Pickering – the co-chairman of the State Department’s committee investigating of the Benghazi attack – has refused to testify today. The State Department says the opposite is true – that Pickering wanted to testify but Republicans w ...

This is just too good not to share..... Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night." So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job. Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two people, one pers ...

Note that people from right and left, government and private industry made this happen, assisted by the power of the White House under George H.W. Bush, who wanted to be an environmental president. And Canada didn't have to declare war on the U.S. after all.

Do NOT bake an apple pie in a convention oven. LOL The top crust never browned even though I baked it for 50 minutes. I wound up putting it under the broiler for 3-4 minutes, watching carefully that it didn't burn. Other than that, it was pretty good and I'm proud as it was the first time in 20 years I baked any pie since my oven burns everything on the bottom (that's why I never baked in all those years). Otherwise, things went quite well for us. Everything was ...

I just want to say that I think President Obama is doing a fantastic job. I look forward to more positive changes in the future and am grateful that the majority of American citizens were intelligent enough to elect such a brilliant man to lead this country! ...

How I wish that people knew more about the history of this nation, and about the expansion of government with more agencies, more laws, more regulations, more inspections, and other impediments to personal success that has occurred especially since the 1930s, and in which NONE of the parties in power have been blameless. Folks, we now have officials shutting down lemonade stands and fining people for collecting rainwater from their own roofs. If you have a koi pond in your back yard, the ...

Government: Must Worship the beast. I didn't care for Bush too much, but even HE wouldn't do something like this to poor families. He is beyond evil. He doesn't have to do this at all. He is a SUPER VILLAIN punishing innocent people, even children just to get his way. ‘Folks About to Riot’: Twitter Explodes with Outrage Over Electronic Food Stamp Shutdown Worship The Beast or Die A Time of Testing Someone has said that truth can be stranger than fiction.

take a few laps in the pool, lay out for a while and then take a dip when I get hot, only problem is that it is so hot outside a hot bath would be cooler ... no fun at all. Now, what to do with my time since I still have no work. Guess I could clean but isn't it too hot for that too? :) ...

Why do Democrats think it okay for Obama to force us to buy health insurance but for government to stay out of our bedrooms? Why is it okay in some cases but not in others. I am a healthy person and rarely need any healthcare. Why should I subsidize people who make unhealthy decisions? I think we need to have affordable catastrophic health insurance but we don't need to provide insurance for hang nails or the sniffles. ...

Because apparently you can then be responsible for the deaths of four people, but not face any kind of disciplinary action - or lose your job (read last paragraph). http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/202446.pdf ...

In the current fight over the government shutdown, Republicans are simply representing the views of the American people. Americans didn't ask for Obamacare, they don't want it, but now their insurance premiums are going through the roof, their doctors aren't accepting it, and their employers are moving them into part-time work -- or firing them -- to avoid the law's mandates. Contrary to Obama's promises, it turns out: You can't keep your doctor, you can't ...

WSJ: Government Takeover of Student Loan Market Fails Miserably (Last paragraph sums it up) The government is now essentially in charge of the student loan market, and that’s not working out so well, The Wall Street Journal says in a Friday editorial. Thanks to a provision passed along with health-care reform in 2010, the Department of Education became the originator of roughly 90 percent of U.S. student loans. The results aren’t pretty, the paper points out. A whopping 35 percent ...

voice therapy for transgenders. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the public sits on tarmacs waiting to take off. But take heart!! They leave the engines on while you wait an hour and a half or more - that way they can pollute the environment without even going anywhere! Way to go, Barry. ...

It was once said that the moral test of Government is how that Government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.Hubert H.

14 Reasons Why The U.S. Government Will Never Have A Balanced Budget Ever Again (Editors note: Here are 14 reasons for secession. Remember that a state that secedes from the Union leaves behind every one of these 14 reasons. No more Federal debt, no more Federal income taxes, no more Social Security, no more tyranny.) The United States government will never have another balanced budget again. Yes, you read that correctly. U.S. government finances have now reached a critical “tip ...
