History of EPA Employee Misconduct Could Result in Layoffs

History of EPA Employee Misconduct Could Result in Layoffs:

"The Environmental Protection Agency has been riddled with employee misconduct, including workers who drink, smoke marijuana, and watch porn on the job.

Inspector general reports over the past few years detailing employee misbehavior could serve as ammunition for EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, who is seeking to eliminate 25 percent of the 15,000 employees at the agency."

Harvard tells students gender can 'change from day to day'

The office of BGLTQ Student Life at Harvard University has released a new school-sponsored guide telling students to “fight transphobia” and “get the facts about gender diversity.”

The flyer that was handed out to students on campus asserts that “there are more than two sexes” and that “gender is fluid and changing,” often fluctuating on a daily basis.

The guide, which was distributed to students on campus, declares that “there are more than two sexes” and that “gender is fluid and changing,” adding that someone’s gender identity “can be affirmed and/or expressed in many ways,” and can even “change from day to day.”

Out of control!-----NY taxpayers fuming after school spends $153,000 on ‘educational’ trip to Disney World | EAGnews.org

NY taxpayers fuming after school spends $153,000 on ‘educational’ trip to Disney World | EAGnews.org:
"LONG ISLAND, N.Y. – Long Island taxpayers are fuming after learning they spent over $150,000 to send seniors from Shoreham-Wading River High School on an “educational” trip to Disney World.
The senior trip to Disney World is a school tradition dating back to the 1990s, but in prior years students footed most of the bill, with the district shelling out less than $10,000 to help them out.
Last year, about one in three seniors participated, Newsday reports.
But school officials re-labeled the trip as an “educational field trip” and used taxpayer funds to cover nearly the entire tab, including airfare and hotel rooms for the four-day trek to the Orlando theme park, resulting in about 80 percent of the 227 seniors at Shoreham-Wading River participating in the trip.
The bill: nearly $153,000.
District officials are now scrambling to appease angry taxpayers tasked with voting on the district’s proposed budget for next year in less than a month..."

Census: More Americans 18-to-34 Now Live With Parents Than With Spouse

Census: More Americans 18-to-34 Now Live With Parents Than With Spouse
(CNSNews.com) - Four decades ago, in the mid-1970s, young American adults--in the 18-to-34 age bracket--were far more likely to be married and living with a spouse than living in their parents’ home.

But that is no longer the case, according to a new study by the U.S. Census Bureau.

“There are now more young people living with their parents than in any other arrangement,” says the Census Bureau study.

“What is more,” says the study, “almost 9 in 10 young people who were living in their parents’ home a year ago are still living there today, making it the most stable living arrangement...”

Judge Nap: Shouldn't Be Newsworthy That Gov Enforces The Law | The Daily Caller:

"Judge Andrew Napolitano told Fox News’ Martha MacCallum Monday that “it shouldn’t be newsworthy” that the Trump administration is enforcing the immigration laws already on the books.

Fox’s senior judicial analyst — referencing a recent report touting a spike in Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests — stated it is “newsworthy because this government is so profoundly different from the previous government.”"

Lunatics running the asylum!-----University blows through entire run of 'free' tampons in first two weeks of semester program - The College Fix

University blows through entire run of 'free' tampons in first two weeks of semester program - The College Fix:
"University of Rochester students are having the mother of all periods (not to be confused with “the mother of all bombs“) at the same time this month.
Or maybe they are just hoarding “free” tampons – or throwing them away as a joke – before the student government realizes what a waste of money the “Pads and Tampons Initiative” has been in its first two weeks.
The Campus Times reports that the $5,000 program, which was supposed to provide menstrual products for the entire semester in both men’s and women’s bathrooms (because you can’t spell “menstruate” without men), has blown through 16,000 tampons and pads – more than double its expected order.
...Last Monday, [Students’ Association] Chief of Staff Linda Shackles made an emergency run to BJ’s and bought them out of pads and tampons, to the tune of nearly $1,200.
As of April 10, $2,767, more than 55 percent of funds, had been used. And $2,600—over 93% of that—have gone toward pads and tampons alone.
Within hours of the initial rollout, baskets, pads, and tampons were missing from bathrooms in Wilson Commons..."

Where your taxes will go in 2017 | Fox News

Where your taxes will go in 2017 | Fox News: 
"...This year, Washington will spend a near-record $31,154 per household and collect $26,761 per household in taxes. 
The resulting budget deficit of $4,393 per household will bring the total national debt to $160,000 per household – all dumped in the laps of our children.
Federal spending has surged more than $7,000 per household since 2000, and is projected to expand another $6,000 to $9,000 per household over the next decade (all numbers in this article are adjusted for inflation).
 Unless spending is reined in, similar tax increases must eventually result.
Washington will spend this year’s $31,154 per household as follows:

• Social Security/Medicare: $12,141. The 15.3 percent payroll tax, split evenly between the employer and employee, covers most of Social Security's and a small portion of Medicare's costs. The typical couple retiring today will receive Social Security benefits 13 percent higher than their lifetime contributions, and Medicare benefits that are triple their lifetime contributions into the system, even after adjusting for inflation and net present values. This system can remain sustainable only if there are enough workers to support all retirees, which is why it risks collapsing under the weight of 77 million retiring baby boomers. Unless reformed, these costs will leap to an unsustainable $30,000 per household over the next few decades.

• Anti-poverty programs: $6,143. More than half of this spending subsidizes state Medicaid programs that provide health services to poor families. Other low-income spending includes: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), food stamps, housing subsidies, child care subsidies, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and low-income tax credits. President George W. Bush increased anti-poverty spending from $3,500 to $4,500 per household, and President Obama expanded it past $6,000, mostly due to ObamaCare costs.

• Defense: $4,696. The defense budget covers everything from military paychecks, to operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, to the research, development and acquisition of new technologies and equipment. After averaging $6,500 per household during the Cold War (1947-1991), the collapse of the Soviet empire allowed 1990s lawmakers to slash defense spending down to $3,850 per household. The War on Terror pushed it back to $6,500 per household by 2010. Lawmakers have since cut defense spending per household by 28 percent, and today’s $4,696 per household level is projected to fall another $600 over the next decade, despite persistent global threats.

• Interest on the national debt: $2,121. The federal government is $20 trillion in debt. It owes $15 trillion to public bond owners, and the rest to other federal agencies (mostly to repay the Social Security trust fund, which lawmakers raided annually before the program fell into permanent deficit in 2009). Record-low interest rates have recently held down interest costs. However, the national debt is in the process of tripling from $10 trillion to nearly $30 trillion between 2008 and 2027, which will push annual net interest costs to nearly $4,500 per household – or double that cost if interest rates rise back to normal levels..."

Never trust the liberal media!-----AP Changes Fresno Shooter's Words From 'Allahu Akbar' | The Daily Caller

AP Changes Fresno Shooter's Words From 'Allahu Akbar' | The Daily Caller:
"The Associated Press edited the words of a Muslim man who allegedly killed three white people in downtown Fresno Tuesday afternoon and shouted “Allahu Akbar!”
The suspect, 39-year-old Kori Ali Muhammad, holds fervent anti-Trump beliefs according to his social media profile, and he told police afterward that he hates white people. (RELATED: Muslim Shooter Kills Three Whites In Fresno)
Rather than reporting the gunman’s literal words, however, the AP reported the gunman as saying “God is great.”
On Twitter, the AP’s report gave no indication that the suspect’s words were said in Arabic.
The AP took flack on Twitter for the edits, which some said were meant to downplay the shooter’s ties to Islam..."
