THIS ONE HITS CLOSE TO HOME. I was relieved to discover that given the opportunity to steal $450 million of federal taxpayer dollars, the Houston-Galveston Area Council (HGAC) decided to steal "only" $25 million to purchase new busses for the city of The Woodlands. And only then because the HGAC slush fund might be in jeopardy if they did not do something—anything!—with some of the slush-fund money.

So, the HGAC has accumulated unspent Federal funds to the tune of nearly 1/2 of a BILLION dollars, and their biggest worry is how to hold on to it, because they obviously don't really need it, but they will not, or cannot, give it back.


Now, this is just one slush fund from one Federal agency in one American City. Multiply that by slush funds for dozens of other government agencies and programs and it all adds up to a tidy sum of Swamp-bucks. Altogether, these DOT slush funds alone across the country must add up to tens of billions of dollars (probably more).

Where is DOGE when you need them? Where is Secretary Duffy? Where is 47? Undoubtedly there are innumerable slush funds just like HGAC in every major metropolitan area.

I'm not noticing any significant drop in the water level of the D. C. Swamp.

Naomi Wolf, Rush Limbaugh and "The End of America"

-

Until Tucker Carlson of Fox News resurrected her on this date (Feb 22, 2021) to discuss a book she wrote in 2007, it must have been, what, 5, 10, maybe 15 years since I heard or thought about Naomi Wolf. Ironically, Ms. Wolf originally rose to prominence at a time when Rush Limbaugh was in his meteoric ascendance on Talk Radio, and as I recall he had plenty to say about her "femi-nazi" ways.  This post is not about Rush Limbaugh, but I do wonder if he read Ms. Wolf's "The End of America: A Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot" and, if so, how he received it when it was written, and if, within the past 14 years, he reflected on what she wrote. I can imagine that many conservatives would have rejected out of hand anything she wrote because of her liberal feminist leanings. At the time, the book probably was written off by many as merely Bush-bashing or conservative hating. But after hearing her on Mr. Carlson's show I purchased the e-book version and immediat...

Deportation to South Sudan: Poetic and Providential Justice for Violent Criminal Illegal Aliens?

-

  The Assistant Director of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently posted the article: 8 Barbaric Criminal Illegal Aliens Finally Deported to South Sudan After Weeks of Delays by Activist Judges One of the questions that the article does not address—and something that came to my mind immediately—was this: Why would anybody who has even a semblance of fear and dread left in his otherwise completely seared conscience want to risk getting deported to South Sudan?  As the article pointed out, these criminals are so heinously bad that their countries of origin won't take them back. That leaves them with few options other than being deported to some human hell-hole of a nation like South Sudan. First, they can just take their chances and hope they will never get caught and deported from the United States. With recent SCOTUS decisions making that much less unlikely, and with no notable decrease in the Trump Administration's campaign to remove these worst-of-the-worst ille...
