We’re All Suspects Under the Government’s Precrime Program

We’re all being targeted now. We’re all guilty until proven innocent now. And thanks to the 24/7 surveillance being carried out by the government’s spy network of fusion centers, we are all now sitting ducks, just waiting to be tagged, flagged, targeted, monitored, manipulated, investigated, interrogated, heckled and generally harassed by agents of the American police state. … Read more

40% of TSA Agents Are Still Unvaccinated as Federal Deadline Looms

The first best thing America could do to “improve” transportation infrastructure is to rid itself, not just of useless Mayor Pete, but the entire Biden Administration. Port problems, delays, shortages, rising prices, and inflation. And now, the TSA is set to become the next logistical disaster. Roughly 40% are unvaccinated and could be terminated just days before Thanksgiving.

Nobody Should Be Required to Wear a Mask to Fly

Check out this thread from Buck Sexton (click on the embedded tweet to see the thread). What barely little more than a year ago would have been unbelievable … and nearly nobody would have believed the American people would have tolerated … is now commonplace.

So, Obamacare has just declared me to be a Winnah – a Trifecta even!

Heritage: Projected Premium Increases by State
Heritage: Projected Premium Increases by State

But this is more of the case of winning the “TSA Lottery” – and frequent fliers know EXACTLY what I mean.  You have just gotten the attention of theatrical security corps and they are about to go through your stuff and your junk and apply that micro-duster to your carryon.  Well, in the last couple of days, our HHS Bureaucratic Overlords (you know, the ones that have decided that Religious values has no place in THEIR Public Square) have announced a few more “features” that our pocketbooks are going to cringe over.  Most of us knew that the Young are going to be paying well MORE than their fair share in supporting Obama’s Socialized Medicine and that Oldsters would not be (mostly because they vote more frequently).  Those following this “train wreck” (great line, Senator Baucus!  Thanks for being the “Architect” for this – and now retiring as it comes into reality) pulling out of the station already knew that smokers are going to get hit REAL heard by this – their premiums may lead the pack (yes, pun intended).

But the news of the day is that there are now others in the Obama line to pay the Obamacare train wreck ticket prices:

  • If you are overweight – BMI, anyone?  (Check)
  • If you have high blood pressure (Check)
  • If you have high cholesteral (Check)

Yeah I win the Trifecta – even as the last two CAN be modified by weight loss, but EVERYone in my Mom’s family had the last two two – ya think the IRS will give me a pass on my paperwork (due to genetics)?  I CAN fix the first (yeah, I gotta start that diet again) but the genetics are already stacked against me there.  Hey, IT.JUST.ISNT.MY.FAULT!  But what about…

From The Edge Of Sequestration…Another Update

The Edge Of Sequestration.  Sounds like a Soap Opera, but then it is.  Take the TSA for example.  Janet Napolitano promised we would suffer if Sequestration were allowed to take effect as workers were furloughed. Wait-times at airports would skyrocket because of these budget cuts.

While you’re waiting in those longer lines that may or may not exist, you’ll have extra time to admire the new uniforms TSA bought just before the sequester hit.  DHS signed a $50 million deal to buy uniforms just before the sequester hit, some of which will be made in Mexico.

At least the TSA is giving jobs to Mexicans that Americans wont do…in Mexico.  And back in the US, no one is reporting an increase in delays.

Smartest President Ever….part 2

Throws billions at high risk bankrupt green energy companies year after year….slight decrease in increased spending (sequester) will mean firing air traffic controllers, TSA,  first responders, public safety personnel, border patrol, crumbling infrastructure…

A Very Merry TSA Christmas!

I am certainly glad that I do not have to travel on biz anymore (I’ve done my 500,000 miles in the air)….nor have to travel for the holidays.  And here’s a reason why: (H/T: Reason TV via Instapundit)

That cell phone while driving post that Steve put up?

Steve wrote about the NTSB busybodies now wishing to go all Nanny State on us about texting while driving; I thought this just fit ever so well. Dig the micro car with the electrical plug, too. It is never enough for the Govt to just carry out something that many of us think is a … Read more
