Government Incompetence
Blue city rewards thieves
This one is just a miserable comment on why crime doesn’t pay. San Antonio likes to bill itself as Military City, USA. Given the amount of space and people devoted to the military there, with both Army AND Air Force facilities, medical training too, as I recall – there should be some incentive to stay […]
Thursday notes- pollution, Teslas, and oopsie
Little notes today. You know all that funding we need to pay, the guilt we should suffer, in the cause of global warning? It’s all our damn fault here, ya bastards, and we need to CUT BACK to save the rest of the world. Etc, etc, etc (no similarity to Yul Brynner implied.) Well, a […]
USAID staff ordered to burn documents
Erica Carr, active executive director for USAID, reportedly sent out an email to the remaining USAID staff. The email called for the staff to convene at the former USAID headquarters to conduct a major document destruction operation. The email instructed them to have burn bags ready in case the shredders either needed a break or […]
CNN data reporter ‘shocked’ to see that American majority supports DOGE
Harry Enten of CNN described the polling results as “shocking.” A CBS/YouGov poll showed that 54% believe that DOGE should have some influence on government spending and operations. Enten also described how most Americans support DOGE’s efforts to reduce government spending. They also support President Donald Trump’s efforts to reduce the number of bureaucrats working […]

Sailor Screwed by Biden’s BATFE. BP Meds first.
Let’s go revisit a column from last year, June 16 to be exact. Friday short takes. In the comments section was this comment, which drew quite a few responses: “Sailor Sentenced To 20 years In Prison For Selling Illegal Machine Guns In Virginia” https://www.stripes.com/branches/navy/2023-06-15/navy-sailor-virginia-illegal-machine-guns-10450276.html “A 28-year-old Navy master-at-arms was sentenced Tuesday to 20 years in […]
Elon Musk to federal workforce: What have you accomplished?
Federal workers previously received an email. The email asked them for a bullet point list of what they accomplished during the previous week. This request drew protests from many federal workers, some of whom received notification from their own agencies to delay their responses. For those who refused, failure to respond by the deadline would […]
Money for … well, seemingly everyone.
Yeah, a good way to fire up the weekend. I get the general sense that Health and Human Services may not be one of our favorite government agencies – it may have once had a narrowly focused mission with clear-cut goals of helping Americans, but like the AFL-CIO, Teamsters, and many other things, it has […]
