Recently the non-profit government watchdog Cause of Action Institute filed a FOI request for records related to a March 2014 management alert issued by the Department of State’s inspector general. The total value of the contracts the IG reviewed exceeded $6 billion. Many of these cases arose during the tenure of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the top diplomat from January 2009 to January 2013. She may soon have to answer questions about contract mismanagement, fraud and incompetence under her watch.
New York state loves to make more laws to take your personal freedoms away. It’s the worst state in the United States for taking your personal freedoms away. Wake up, people. Another Democrat is not good. It’s like the Twilight Zone, and the federal government is even worse. You’re just going to have all your rights taken away. Pretty soon you’re not going to do anything but try to survive and go to work to pay your bills, and that’s the way they want it.
An Iranian scientist secretly providing intelligence to the U.S. about the Iranian nuclear weapons program was executed on August 7. His name had appeared in numerous shared emails with Hillary staffers, and those were some of the emails hacked by unknown individuals last spring. Is this a coincidence or not? No one knows, but if you want to see more ambassadors and spies dead, vote for Hillary.
It amazes me how corrupt and scandalous the Democratic party has become. Whether it’s the DNC, the Hillary campaign or the Obama administration, all have had numerous scandals, and many involved have lied to the American people. We’re not getting this information through the American media, which we know is biased and covers for these groups, but through Wikileaks and other organizations. Not only are Democrats corrupt, but they can get away with everything time after time, and the media just yawns at the corruption and lies. I am tired of it.
Tedisco did a great job fighting corruption in the New York State Legislature. He’s been in government over 20 years, and on his watch Bruno, Silver, Skelos, Smith, Samson and numerous others have been convicted of numerous crimes involving their official duties…. A blind and deaf man should have been aware of this blatant corruption. Tedisco is a huff-and-puff photo-op politician. Time for change. Vote out the incumbents (bums). Bring in new visions.
This is in relation to the Social Security Disability and people working on public assistance. Even the middle-class people need public assistance with these prices of milk, housing and all of that. So please, stop assuming that everyone on public assistance is lazy, because people aren’t.
Why does Hillary Clinton always take so much time off? It seems like every weekend she doesn’t campaign. Is she that feeble that she has to take it off? Is that the kind of president she’s going to be, not working from Friday to Monday? That’s what it looks like, and that’s what Trump is harping on. Why does she take so much time off if there’s nothing wrong her. I’m the same age as she is and I have a lot of medical issues, and I bet she does, too.
I just watched the evening news and they blamed poverty on some kind of system and said it was a racist thing. Let me tell you how I stay out of poverty. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t gamble and I don’t do illegal drugs. That’s the magic four right there, and of course I do work for a living, and that’s how I stay out of poverty. That’s so basic, and I don’t care how much the media wants to blame it on racism, it’s all to do with the basics. If I was a drug addict, chances are I’d live in poverty.
President Obama said we were going to save $2,500 on our health insurance, but it’s going up every single year. So far it’s been almost $4,000 extra we’re paying out of our pockets. Look at the Epi-Pen. It costs $2 to make and they’re forcing the people to pay over $600 for one. So tell me where we’re saving, President Obama? You just want this so you can get your one-payer thing in. I hope and pray Hillary doesn’t take over because it will get 100 percent worse, or 600 percent like the Epi-Pen.
