Apparently the ABSENCE of any credible evidence means that something must have happened these days.

in part.

 

I've got dirt on (crooked shrill) Hillary

I love it ....

 

From a US source. I'd have no problem with that. Anyone who doesn't is crazy not too as its the norm.

 

From a Russian citizen though .... Have you ever worked anywhere where you needed a clearance?

 

ignorance of the law is not a defense or excuse. Any judge in the world will tell you that.

 

Pay that $10,000 fine and 1 to 10 years in jail.

The last time i read something on Russia, a reporter was obtaining his driver's license.

 

He got 98% on the written part, then realized that everyone got 98% on the written part.

 

Then he handed over $500 USD to someone with a clipboard and that person drove around the parking lot twice and he was issued a driving license.

so all the fake voters were russians??

;)

damn written tests

 

they always throw some bizarro question on the test

 

I was amazed that when I moved to NC in 97 that I had to take a written test to get my license there. I'd been driving for 20 + years

 

no other state that I lived in (3) made me take a written test,

Maybe the same article said their society was one where a major goal would be able to boast "I can sleep with your wife and you cannot do anything about it."

 

I nodded and turned the page.


I try to avoid any interpersonal interaction with anyone affiliated with the motor vehicle department of our government.

 

Especially the dude that is going to make you sit there and be miserable for 4 hours because I've piled up too many points...

Oregon’s full-tilt mandate for abortion-on-demand insurance coverage, public funding almost complete

 

 

 

Oregon’s legislature wants to cement the state’s status as the most abortion-friendly in the US — and its governor is champing at the bit to finalize it.

 

Last week, lawmakers passed a bill that would require insurers to pay 100% of all abortion-on-demand costs no matter how late-term they may be, and regardless of motive.

 

It would also require insurers to pay $10 million into a fund for public funding of abortions in what is clearly a gift to Planned Parenthood:

 

 

How unbelievably vile.

Since the Great Recession, which is now 8 years old, we've been growing at 1.5 to 2 percent in spite of stupidity and political gridlock. Because the American business sector is powerful and strong, and is going to grow regardless of — people wake up in the morning, they want to feed their kids, they want to buy a home, they want to do things, the same with American businesses — what I'm saying is it would be much stronger growth had we made intelligent decisions and were there not gridlock.

And thank you for pointing it out because I'm going to be a broken record until this gets done. We are unable to build bridges, we're unable to build airports, our inner city school kids are not graduating.

I was just in France, I was recently in Argentina, I was in Israel, I was in Ireland. We met with the prime minister of India and China. It's amazing to me that every single one of those countries understands that practical policies to promote business and growth is good for the average citizens of those countries, for jobs and wages, and that somehow this great American free enterprise system, we no longer get it.

Corporate taxation is critical to that, by the way. We've been driving capital earnings overseas, which is why there's $2 trillion overseas benefiting all these other countries and stuff like that. So if we don't get our act together — we can still grow.

It's unfortunate, but it's hurting us, it's hurting the body politic, it's hurting the average American that we don't have these right policies. So no, in spite of gridlock we'll grow at maybe 1.5 or 2 percent.

I don't buy the argument that we're relegated to this forever. We're not. If this administration can make breakthroughs in taxes and infrastructure, regulatory reform —we have become one of the most bureaucratic, confusing, litigious societies on the planet.

It's almost an embarrassment being an American citizen traveling around the world and listening to the stupid s--- we have to deal with in this country. And at one point we all have to get our act together or we won't do what we're supposed to [do] for the average Americans.

And unfortunately people write about this saying like it's for corporations. It's not for corporations. Competitive taxes are important for business and business growth, which is important for jobs and wage growth. And honestly we should be ringing that alarm bell, every single one of you, every time you talk to a client.

Pretty interesting about disability, begging and work

 

 

GRUNDY, Va. — Five days earlier, his mother had spent the last of her disability check on bologna, cheese, bread and Pepsi. Two days earlier, he had gone outside and looked at the train tracks that wind between the coal mines and said, “I don’t know how I’m going to get out of this.” One day earlier, the family dog had collapsed from an unnamed illness, and, without money for a veterinarian, he had watched her die on the porch. And now it was Monday morning, and Tyler McGlothlin, 19, had a plan.

“About time to go,” said his mother, Sheila McGlothlin, 57, stamping out a cigarette.

“I’m ready,” Tyler said, walking across a small, decaying house wedged against a mountain and strewn with dirty dishes, soda cans and ashtrays. They went outside, stepping past bottles of vodka his father had discarded before disappearing into another jail cell, and climbed a dirt path toward a housemate’s car.

Gee, man, sorry about your dog.

A retired Marine was warned by a Michigan judge that if he did not get rid of his guns that he keeps for protection, he and his wife would not be allowed to be the foster parents of their grandson.

William and Jill Johnson were asked by the state of Michigan to be foster parents of their grandson to keep him from not going into foster care with parents outside his family, and the couple happily agreed. However, one stipulation was given.

“But during the course of the necessary paperwork for the placement, a local judge stunned them with the warning that they no longer would have all of their constitutional rights,” WND reported.

Give up your gun rights or else …

The judge in the case – filed with the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan – candidly admitted that the court was denying the veteran’s rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution … if he wanted to keep his grandson.

!@#$ the judiciary in this country. It's gotten to be out of control.

Starts with stacking the Supreme Court with judges who interpret the law, that don't make it up on the fly due to emotions or hot flashes or their private perversities.

I wouldn't call that "stacking", I'd call it nominating people qualified for the job.

Years ago when they banned smoking in all Fed buildings, we built smoking shelters @ our respective field sites. We could have built them for a fraction of the cost. Instead, they get Engineering Division involved and the project soared to about 4k... For a shelter! We did the construction in-house so no money was spent on a contractor. It was simply over built, Cadillac of park shelters... Can withstand a hurricane. Still going strong after 20 years though, so I guess that's positive. Corps wanted all field sites to have uniform shelters. We could have went to Menards or Home Depot and spent $800.

 

Our A/C and boiler install ran under 1/2 a million! We were getting local bids for under $100k or ourselves, in-house for just the price of the parts & components We have a few ex-heating and cooling guys on staff. Nope. They (Agency) got a contractor out of Alabama... And all the contractor did was rag on the Fed and the strict contract stipulations that once again, had Engineering Division involved in the systems specs. All the while the contractor gleefully taking the money to the bank... Contractor wanted to cut corners left and right!

 

You simply can't win with the pencil pushers of the world. They will do what they want to do. And, once Engineering Division gets involved, look out! Gotta keep the desk jockeys working!

HOW GOVERNMENT wrecked the gas can. “Soap doesn’t work. Toilets don’t flush. Clothes washers don’t clean. Light bulbs don’t illuminate. Refrigerators break too soon. Paint discolors. Lawnmowers have to be hacked. It’s all caused by idiotic government regulations that are wrecking our lives one consumer product at a time, all in ways we hardly notice. It’s like the barbarian invasions that wrecked Rome, taking away the gains we’ve made in bettering our lives. It’s the bureaucrats’ way of reminding market producers and consumers who is in charge.”

having this issue is a pain in the ass. When refueling equipment the new spouts often get in the way and funnels make situations worse.

 

It has, however, drawn more sales of truck bed fuel cells
