Hoping to recreate the dramatic (read: hysterical) moment when … Read more
Trump Cancels Pelosi’s Overseas Travel. Sorry, No Access to Military Aircraft Due to Shutdown
Speaker Nancy Pelosi 1.0 abused her office in many ways. One of them was using military aircraft to get around the country. Taking trips with large groups, food, refreshments, whatever. It’s not her money. She hasn’t changed. She had an overseas trip booked. Work ‘related,’ I’m sure. But Mr. Trump just postponed it indefinitely. Due to the … Read more

Break Out the Violins – Federal Workers Living On Handouts
Federal workers suffering under the “Trump Shutdown” are being given free goodies such as food and entertainment by local DC establishments.

Boehner is not listening
The republican House leadership seems to too timid to actually do what they promised and defund Obamacare. So, I sent a letter to the leadership telling them they are not doing job one.
The most leverage they will ever have to take away funding is by tieing it to the continuing resolution. They are letting a rule they created get in the way of ending Obamacare funding.
If you are as concerned as I am, you may wish to write a letter as well as make some phone calls. Perhaps my letter which I will put below will give you ideas. If it helps in anyway, that is fine with me. Yes, I cc’d Guinta.
Following the letter will be the addresses.
