USDA: 35,891 Retailers Engaged in Food Stamp Fraud
"The U.S. Department of Agriculture has published a report estimating that 35,891 food retailers around the country engaged in food stamp fraud, illegally “trafficking” more than $1 billion in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits annually over the three-year period from 2012 through 2014.
“Retailer trafficking of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits occurs primarily when SNAP recipients sell their benefits for cash to food retailers, often at a discount,” the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service said in a summary of the report..."

760-mph Hyperloop transit system considers Detroit-Chicago route | MLive.com
"A California-based company is in talks with Michigan transportation officials to consider whether Detroit could be a potential stop for a futuristic transportation system.
Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT) is looking to create a high-speed tube-based transportation system from Cleveland to Chicago that would theoretically reach speeds up to 760 miles per hour.
"Hyperloop Transportation Technologies has reached out to us regarding the feasibility of a Detroit to Chicago line," said a Michigan Department of Transportation spokesperson in an email.
...Hyperloop, "faster and easier to board than a commercial airplane," seeks to solve traffic congestion and mobility problems, by bringing airplane speeds to ground level, with passengers and cargo capsules hovering through a network of low-pressure tubes, according to HTT.
The Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACA) and HTT signed a public-private partnership agreement to begin a $1.2-million feasibility study in the region that will take six to nine months.
The futuristic transportation system would transform commutes from hours to minutes, the company claims..."

Feminist PANICS After Dana Loesch Suggests Women Who Carry Guns Are Harder To Rape | Daily Wire:
"Feminist author and blogger Jessica Valenti was disappointed to learn, Wednesday night, that some women find arming themselves a useful way of protecting themselves against sexual predators.
Actually, that's putting it mildly. Valenti panicked after hearing National Rifle Association spokeswoman Dana Loesch suggest that the Second Amendment is a helpful tool in preventing violence against women, and launched into a four-tweet diatribe about how women are all going to be dead as a result of being armed."

DAX Slides After German Top Court Rules Cities Can Ban Diesel Cars | Zero Hedge
DAX Slides After German Top Court Rules Cities Can Ban Diesel Cars | Zero Hedge:
"The DAX legged lower, led by sliding shares of Volkswagen, BMW and Daimler after Germany’s top administrative court ruled German cities have the right to ban diesel cars, a move which could have far-reaching consequences for the 12 million vehicles in Europe’s largest auto market, the FT reported.
The national court in Leipzig upheld earlier decisions from lower courts in Stuttgart and Düsseldorf, which had allowed the bans.
Those rulings had been appealed amid legal uncertainty over whether municipalities have the power to make such restrictions.
Prior to the ruling, Bloomberg predicted that if the court backs the city-level diesel bans, it would likely jump-start a wave of new policies targeting the fuel..."

Incompetence Wasn't the Problem in Broward County
Incompetence Wasn't the Problem in Broward County:
"...I detailed some of this last week in an article on what one public interest magazine called the "Broward County solution."
In Broward County, they call it more modestly the "PROMISE Program."
As an attached Associated Press article noted, "One of the nation's largest school districts has reached an agreement with law enforcement agencies and the NAACP to reduce the number of students being charged with crimes for minor offenses."
The goal, as the article explained, was to create an alternative to the zero-tolerance policies then in place by giving principals, not law enforcement, the authority to determine the nature of the offense.
...Although nonsensical on the face of it – one is hard pressed to recall a crime spree by the disabled – this language opened the door for Nikolas de Jesus Cruz.
An adopted son of the late Roger and Linda Cruz, the future school shooter had a name that fit the "metrics" of the collaborative agreement, regardless of his DNA.
It is not hard to understand why Broward County officials would be eager to adopt this program. Miami-Dade had been receiving all kinds of honors for its efforts to shut down the dread "school-to-prison" pipeline.
On February 15, 2012, Miami-Dade County Public Schools put out a press release citing a commendation the Miami-Dade Schools Police (M-DSPD) had recently received.
The Department of Juvenile Justice had singled out Miami-Dade for "dramatically decreasing" school-related "delinquency."
Said M-DSPD Chief Charles Hurley, "Our mantra is education not incarceration."...

DOJ Says Atty. Gen. Used Alias to Conduct Official Business to Protect Security, Privacy - Judicial Watch:
"Though the DOJ recently furnished the documents with Lynch’s fake name, the records were part of Judicial Watch’s original 2015 FOIA request. The records also show that then Assistant Attorney General John Carlin touted SCN at an event sponsored by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), an extremist leftist group that helped a gunman commit an act of terrorism against a conservative organization. A year later Carlin would launch the Michael Flynn counterintelligence investigation and seek the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant now in question."

"A Huge Surprise" --Ultra-Dense Neutron Stars Light Up the Universe: 'A Teaspoon Would Weigh a Billion Tons' - The Daily Galaxy --Great Discoveries Channel:
"...Now, a Caltech-led team using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has identified a fourth ULX as being a neutron star -- and found new clues about how these objects can shine so brightly.
Neutron stars are extremely dense objects -- a teaspoon would weigh about a billion tons, or as much as a mountain.
Their gravity pulls surrounding material from companion stars onto them, and as this material is tugged on, it heats up and glows with X-rays.
But as the neutron stars "feed" on the matter, there comes a time when the resulting X-ray light pushes the matter away.
Astronomers call this point -- when the objects cannot accumulate matter any faster and give off any more X-rays -- the Eddington limit..."

Gay U.S. Olympian Asks What 'TF' Ivanka Is Doing at Winter Olympics
Early Sunday morning, Kenworthy tweeted out a picture of his fellow Team USA competitors. Kenworthy wrote, “So proud of all these people! Everybody here has worked so hard to make it to the Olympics and have the opportunity to walk in the closing ceremony! Well… Everyone except Ivanka. Honestly, tf is she doing here??”
Ivanka’s presence at the Winter Olympics is pretty easily explained.
According to the AP, “The elder daughter of U.S. President Donald Trump is watching the closing ceremony in the same box as South Korean President Moon Jae-In and top North Korean official Kim Yong Chol.
She has said the purpose of her visit is to advocate maximum pressure on North Korea to halt its nuclear program...”
Sadly, much more from this moron.

Florida shooting shows our government institutions are failing us
Florida shooting shows our government institutions are failing us:
"From the FBI to local law enforcement to the schools, every institution failed.
We have more government than ever, but it isn't working.
The chief problem facing America today is the decline of its institutions, coupled with the denial of that decline by the people in charge of its institutions.
The latest example of this problem is the Parkland school shooting in Florida.
From the FBI, to local law enforcement, to the schools, everyone failed.
There was failure early, there was failure in the middle, and there was failure late.
And no one has taken responsibility.
It’s not as if there weren’t warning signs.
...Despite Broward Sheriff Scott Israel’s all-out attack on the NRA the night before Peterson's inaction became public, this debacle illustrates why so many Americans want to own guns, and aren’t comfortable relying solely on “trained professional law enforcement officers” like Scot Peterson.
As Jim Geraghty writes in National Review, “the Parkland shooting is proving to be a colossal cascading failure of both local and federal law enforcement.
...People are being asked to trust the government to keep them safe, when the government is patently unable to do so.
And then, when the government fails, it engages in blame-shifting deflection.
Why should people listen?
Increasingly, they won’t."

How liberals use the latest school shooting to demonize gun ownership - Washington Times
How liberals use the latest school shooting to demonize gun ownership - Washington Times:
"The reaction to the latest school shooting could have been predicted and is unfolding in just the way the massacre at Newtown, Connecticut, did back in 2013. Progressive politicians and their friends in the media are blaming not the shooter or those who ignored warnings about him or the lack of school security, but the National Rifle Association and the right of law-abiding Americans to purchase and own firearms.
They’re riding a wave of public outrage that we all understand and fueling it with liberal money from their Hollywood friends while the media exploits the victims and their families to demand the very same things they were demanding after the Newtown shootings."
