The extent of welfare fraud is not just limited to Pennsylvania; it happens all around the country. A 2019 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report found that $1 billion in SNAP benefits are trafficked in the U.S. annually. But experts say the real extent of the fraud is uncertain and could surpass that $1 billion figure.

If there was no welfare, then there would be no fraud!

With government money come strings. (From LifeSiteNews.com) DELTA, British Columbia, January 21, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — A British Columbia palliative care hospice under government orders to provide euthanasia onsite by February 3 has offered to forgo $750,000 in public funds rather than let sick patients be killed by lethal injection in its 10-bed facility.

Remember when Sarah Palin was EXCORIATED (look it up) for calling Obamacare “Death Panels”.
Here’s evidence she was right!
The Gooferment should NOT have the right to kill anyone EVER.
(I can be persuaded that if the criminal is a Hannibal Lecter type who is too dangerous to be contained, then killing the “mad dog” MIGHT be warranted.)

Tony Adams: My name is Tony Adams. I’m an Astros fan. In November 2019, when the videos of the banging during some Astros 2017 games came out, I was horrified. It was clear within a minute of watching it was true — my team had cheated.

I wonder how many careers were ruined by their cheating. The fellow cites a pitcher who never pitched again in the major leagues.
Argh!

The House impeachment inquiry into President Trump, he said, had been “dripping with fundamental process violations.”The fact that Trump’s rights had been violated went against the first purpose of the Constitution, he said, which was to “establish justice.”“Courts would not allow this,” Starr said. “They knew, and they know, that the purpose of our founding instrument is to protect our liberties.”

At what point do the “process violations” give DJT45 a “get out of jail free card”?
I don’t see what he did to warrant impeachment. Seems like a partisan witch hunt by the looney left.
That being said, didn’t they failed to observe the “rules of fair play”?
Where was all this “outrage” when HRC was corruptly violating security rules with her email and the Clinton Foundation? (Sorry but if I’d done what she did when I held a clearance, I’d probably still be in the stockade!)

Via SchiffGold.com, Bernie Sanders has gained in the polls of late and only trails Joe Biden by about three percentage points, according to the latest Fox News poll. On top of that, Sanders matches up against President Trump. He leads 48% to 42% in a head-to-head matchup.

*** begin quote ***
What a Sanders win means is much bigger government deficits, and much more money printing by the Fed because there is no way to finance all of the spending that will happen with tax hikes on the rich. We’ll get tax hikes on the rich, but they’re not going to provide the revenue to pay for the programs.”
*** end quote ***
While I like 2k$+ gold personally, the implications for the USA and the world. It implies a catastrophic collapse in the global economy.
I’m old and probably will not see all the bad things that will happen with it.
Hopefully, the American electorate will come to their senses by election day.

Vermont’s Department of Fish and Wildlife added that such rescues are rare because of the risk to both the animal and the rescue crews in those situations.“Such recoveries are many times not successful,” the department said. “It’s great to see that, in this case, it ended well for those involved and for this very fortunate moose. A great job by all, and a special thanks from the Vermont Fish & Wildlife to those who helped in this effort.”

Good work and good practice.
All life is “sacred” and should be treated with dignity and respect.
While we can’t save everything, we should retain our “humanity”.
My thought, after good for the moose, was could it have been a child or other human stuck there.
Wonder how it can be prevented in the future?

United Airlines, which has the most service of the U.S. airlines to Hong Kong and mainland China with about a dozen daily flights, on Tuesday announced it would cancel dozens of flights next month to Hong Kong and mainland China as the outbreak worsens. The Chicago-based airline said it has experienced a “significant decline in demand for travel to China.” United and its rivals Delta and American are waiving cancellation and change fees for travelers booked to China.

Wow, a “significant decline in demand for travel to China.”
No surprise there.
What surprises me is that there is ANY demand.

It’s sad that a human being was killed. It’s sad that another human being has to carry that burden for the rest of his life. It’s sad that there was an injury presumed from “friendly fire”.
It is good that criminals are called to account.
I’d rather they all be afraid of the honest citizen than the other way around.
Politicians and bureaucrats want to disarm the people for their own nefarious purposes.
(I’ve given up the idea that they are honestly trying to make the country safer. Honest but mistaken. In the light of their continued insistence in complete disarmament to extent they talk about door to door search and siezure as if was even possible. They can’t even disarm criminals. Or keep drugs out of their prisons. So what is their motivation if it’s not to put people into camps?)
Seems like the Virginia “Democratic” legislature has just “poked the proverbial tiger with a stick”. “I fear all we have done is awakened a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve.” — apocryphal quote attributed to Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto played by Soh Yamamura in the movie ‘Tora Tora Tora’

The cause of the crash was unknown, but conditions at the time were such that the Los Angeles Police Department and the county sheriff’s department grounded their helicopters.

What can one say about such a sad event?
I can’t add to story, but I have to wonder if this gets chalked up to “pilot error”?
I’m reminded of the plane crash of JFKjr, and the hubris of the pilot to think he can do it. Even when there were alternatives.
In this case, flying into fog that was grounding others. What would have been the “downside” to “discretion is the better part of valor”? Missing a basketball game or being late for it! A small price to pay for avoiding a disaster.
