More Than $1 Billion Of Covid Stimulus Checks Went To Prison Inmates
*** begin quote ***
Prison inmates made out like bandits during the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to internal data provided by the IRS, more than 1.1 million incarcerated inmates received stimulus checks, totaling over $1.3 billion dollars.
In a letter obtained by the Washington Examiner, Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) said of the million incarcerated inmates, 163,000 of them were serving life sentences.
“It’s outrageous that those who inflicted pain on a family or community by committing a crime received a single dime from the government during the pandemic. If anything, the funds should have gone to the victims who would have been better served,” Bacon said.
As the country is facing dwelling inflation, the government doled out a massive amount of paychecks to people as the Biden administration refused to allow hard-working Americans make money of their own.

This ranks right up there with them sending stimulus checks to Norwegians who have never left Norway!
Another example of why the Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy.

Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) say they want to know why the FBI has interfered in their investigation of Hunter Biden.
The top ranking senators have asked Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence Bradley Benavides and the FBI Intelligence Analyst in Charge of the Washington Field Office Intelligence Division, Nikki Floris, to appear for a transcribed interview to explain the agency’s involvement in the matter.

Need to start putting people on trial for “obstruction” and to shut down the FBI once and for all.

A United Nations diplomat from Africa was accused of raping one of his neighbors in Upper Manhattan over the weekend — but NYPD cops released him because he has diplomatic immunity, authorities said Monday. Charles Dickens Imene Oliha, 46 — a career diplomat for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in South Sudan — was arrested in Sunday’s alleged sex assault on a woman inside her apartment around noon, according to a police report obtained by The Post. Oliha was taken into custody on suspicion of rape and brought in for questioning, cops said. But once he informed…

Seems simple enough.
Too many parking tickets — PNG!
Too many complaints — PNG!
A rape complaint — PNG!
Person Non Grata
Use it more often and “diplomats” will behave like civilized human beings.
And, in a spirit of reciprocity, if the USA’s “diplomats” misbehave, then if they can’t be fired, reassign them to Sitka Alaska. (Where I am told there’s a woman behind every tree!)
Argh!

These YouTube divers did in one day what cops couldn’t do in two weeks in Kiely Rodni search

They’re the deep-diving YouTubers who claim to have found missing California teen Kiely Rodni in less than a full day of looking — even after authorities spent nearly 20,000 man-hours failing to find her.
Adventures With Purpose started searching Prosser Creek Reservoir on Sunday — and within hours found what they believe is the 16-year-old’s 2013 Honda CRV with a body inside.
“WE JUST FOUND KIELY RODNI,” the volunteer group claimed on Facebook, ahead of local authorities confirming that the body was indeed the teen who went missing after a nearby graduation party on Aug. 6.
*** end quote ***
The various agencies of Gooferment bragged about how much effort they put into the search. Only to “eat crow” when private citizens found her in less than a day.
I guess it all depends upon your motivation, tools, and training.
Like Uvalde, “who would build the roads” argument, but in this case it’s “who will find the bodies”!

The FBI has a forgotten history of ‘covert propaganda’ and political interference

Nationwide secret police force?
This may be one way in which a socialist-like government may have begun America: covertly employ thousands or millions of people in the FBI or other national secret police entity who are told they are protecting America, while in reality they are merely being used to covertly stalk, harass, intimidate, and in some cases significantly harm or neutralize innocent persons.
This type of government employment would be much like being in the mafia: once a person is employed by the FBI or other government secret police entity, they “know too much” about the methods, technologies, and potential crimes of the FBI or other secret police entity.
Such persons would be fully dependent on the FBI or secret police for their monetary survival, and, due to “knowing too much,” would likely be unable to obtain employment elsewhere. The more people the FBI or other secret police entity employs, then the more people who are fully dependent on the specific type of government employment which may be nearly impossible to get out of. It is either do what the potentially corrupt boss says, or be without employment.

Forget the media propaganda like the movie with Jimmy Stewart or the TV series with Efram Zimbalist Jr.
Think about the power that J. Edgar Hoover weirded with his files on every politician and celebrity.
Time to shut down the Deep State and its corruption.

Wrightsville Beach renourishment project uncovers hundreds of thousands of tires in the ocean

Wrightsville Beach, N.C. — The shrinking shoreline at Wrightsville Beach is in desperate need of sand.
“We can’t get our ocean rescue vehicles from point A to point B in some places, because there’s just not enough beach,” Mayor Darryl Mills said.
Rebuilding that usually happens every three years is behind schedule. Officials said they have faced numerous challenges since the beach was last filled with fresh sand in 2018.
Wrightsville Beach has sourced its sand from nearby Masonboro Inlet since the 1960s, but a new interpretation of the Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA), dictates that no federal dollars can be used to move sand from a CBRA-protected zone (Masonboro Inlet) to a non-CBRA zone (Wrightsville Beach). Wrightsville Beach’s renourishment is 100% federally-funded, according to local records.
*** and ***
The Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) said it placed more than 600,000 tires off the North Carolina coast in the 1970s and early 1980s, but said it discontinued the practice in 1983.
“We don’t know the exact number of tires that were deployed back then,” said Patricia Smith, the Communications Director for the NC Division of Marine Fisheries. “Basically, the Division just doesn’t have reliable deployment records from that period.”
The artificial reef closest to the potential sand harvest location for Wrightsville Beach is called the Meares Harris Reef, located about 2.5 miles offshore and spanning 649 acres. That site includes other artificial reefs made of concrete pipes and tugboats that serve as fish habitats, but the aging tires are proving to be problematic.

I guess the artificial reef project wasn’t well thought out. And the Gooferment only has itself to blame. Of course, the Taxpayers pay for the mistake.

Helping Y’all Understand Protectionism
Gary M. Galles – July 22, 2022
*** begin quote ***
Protectionism provides special treatment for political favorites at the expense of others’ rights and well-being. In fact, it harms all American consumers not given special protection, by removing options they chose for themselves (as illustrated by the fact that undoing protectionist policies could lower prices paid by Americans at a time when rapid inflation is supposedly political topic number one), yet it persists.
*** end quote ***
Not only does it harm “others”; it trains “We, The Sheeple” that they can use Gooferment to live off other’s productivity.

Scrutiny of Secret Service Builds Over Lost Jan. 6 Texts
The Secret Service is being pressed about missing text messages from Jan. 5 and Jan. 6, 2021. The Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general gave the Secret Service a deadline of Tuesday to review the text messages of 24 specific employees for material relating to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot — a request that turned up only one new text conversation. The Secret Service says that the majority of the texts in question were deleted as part of a pre-planned “device-replacement program” at the agency. The deletion reportedly came after the IG had requested electronic communications records…

Convent how the Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats don’t have to follow their own laws and regulations.
Now tell me that their carrier (AT&T, Verizon, somebody) doesn’t have copies of those texts?
I thing their Head IT honcho should be immediately fired.
Argh!
