Smart! Who needs an Army?
Perfect. Idiot sons of two idiots now have show on Russian propaganda network.
Surprise! “Reports have emerged that Yemeni Houthi fighters are receiving training in Syria and taking part in battles on behalf of the Bashar al-Assad regime.”
This is awful. I especially love how Delta employees have somehow found a new way to be awful.
In case you had any doubts about the garbage education the Left is giving the children: AP history study guide puts Clarence Thomas in league with the KKK in the Idiot’s Guide to the French Revolution.
Kentucky Supreme Court to decide if 8th-grade boy who had sex with 7th-grade girlfriend can be charged as sexual predator. Ridiculous. Shame the parents and nothing else.
Disgusting. Government unions are out of control in Illinois.
Sure, politicians might say the $100 billion-plus pension crisis is Public Enemy No. 1, but their actions prove otherwise. Here’s how unserious they are about reform: Even if SB1, the 2013 “pension overhaul,” is upheld by the courts, Illinois taxpayers will still spend millions every year paying pensions to people for nongovernment work. State law allows a number of private lobbying organizations to participate in the taxpayer-backed pension plans: the Illinois Association of School Boards, the Illinois Association of School Business Officials, the Illinois Association of Park Districts, Township Officials of Illinois, the United Counties Council of Illinois and the Illinois Municipal League, among others. Employees at select government unions, including the Illinois Education Association, are allowed to collect public pensions, too.
Let’s be clear: These are not government agencies. Their activities are not open to the public, and taxpayers don’t have a say in how much their employees are paid. Yet when their employees retire, it’s Illinois taxpayers who foot the bill. It isn’t cheap, either. Unlike pensions in the private sector, Illinois government pensions are based on an employee’s final, highest average salary — not how much he or she saved over the years. It’s common for employees to see huge spikes in their salaries in the years preceding retirement.
Cinda Klickna is head of the Illinois Education Association, the state’s largest teachers union. The IEA is another vocal proponent of raising your taxes to — you guessed it — send more money to the state’s pension funds. Klickna’s last teaching job was in 2005, when her pensionable salary was $70,104. But it’s her IEA salary that her lifetime pension will be based on. In 2014, the union paid her $217,740, and she’s been paid more than $200,000 for the past three years.
In 2011, reporters at the Chicago Tribune and WGN-TV uncovered two government union lobbyists who snuck into the public pension system after spending just one day as substitute teachers. Steven Preckwinkle, political director for the Illinois Federation of Teachers, and fellow union lobbyist David Piccioli stood to collect millions of dollars in public pensions for that one day in the classroom.
Surprise! Another progressive utopia turns into a totalitarian shithole, as they always do.
This will change nothing. Obama will continue to aid the monster, whose atrocities are arguably worse than ISIS.
“When powerful people tell me ‘fuck off, I’m not answering your questions,’ I think that’s great! Hit me again!” – the American media
Yeah, I figured a lawsuit would be coming on this one.
Today’s nominee for world’s worst neighbor:
A temporary order by a Superior Court judge is keeping a man from smoking inside his home in the District of Columbia. WJLA-TV reports that Edwin Gray’s next door neighbors in northeast Washington have filed a civil suit claiming they’re being harmed by smoke that sneaks into their home through a hole in the basement. They are seeking an injunction and $500,000 in damages. A judge issued a temporary injunction last week saying neither Gray nor any family or guests may smoke in the home the family has owned for 50 years.
WaPo Fact Checker: Ted Cruz is right, but I don’t like the fact or him so I’m not going to give him credit.
France tries to block euro coin commemorating Waterloo because it might hurt someone’s feelings.
Pelosi’s BFF/Obama’s “partner against terrorism (LOL)” is a fucking monster.
Shorter Zarif: Holy shit, you guys, even I didn’t think it would be this easy.
“The State Department ‘fought the Caesar hearing tooth and nail. I’ve never seen them fight anything…like that,’ said an aide.” Well, this administration doesn’t want to be confronted face-to-face with what it has allowed to happen. Understandable.
This is what happens when you get in bed with the IRGC.
