According to his own autobiography "Dreams from My Father," Barack Obama is not a "natural born citizen" and, therefore, is an illegal President. Every law that he has signed and every appointment that he has made is invalid.
Obama's brilliance isn't how he frustrates the Republicans - it ACTUALLY shows up best when you watch how he is using the Democratic party to achieve his goals, and they haven't even realized it. (Didn't you see how angry they got when they realized what he had done to them with his "You can Keep your Policy" lie?) I keep waiting for them to wake up - and he keeps hoping they won't. Look at who he surrounds himself with. Politicians (like Republicans and Democrats of the past) surrounded themselves with loyal party members - he surrounds himself with radicals that share his socialist dream (say Valerie Jarrett here) - while Americans from BOTH parties are asleep at the wheel.

Today we remember the life, death and legacy of John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the United States. Fondly remembered by many Americans as “Camelot.”
One of the more remarkable quotes from the brief JFK presidency was delivered during his inaugural speech on January 20, 1961, when he said:
"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”
Fifty years later, those inspiring words seem to have been lost on the American people as scores of millions, citizens and non-citizens alike, now rely on government for many of the basic needs of living.
Indeed, as indicated at the reference, 49.2 percent of Americans now receive benefits from one or more government programs:
In the fourth quarter of 2011, 49.2 percent of Americans received benefits from one or more government programs, according to data released Tuesday by the Census Bureau.
In total, the Census Bureau estimated, 151,014,000 Americans out of a population then estimated to be 306,804,000 received benefits from one or more government programs during the last three months of 2011. Those 151,014,000 beneficiaries equaled 49.2 percent of the population.
This included 82,457,000 people--or 26.9 percent of the population--who lived in households in which one or more people received Medicaid benefits.
Also among the 151,014,000 who received benefits from one or more government programs during that period: 49,901,000 who collected Social Security; 49,073,000 who got food stamps; 46,440,000 on Medicare; 23,228,000 in the Women, Infants and Children program, 20,223,000 getting Supplemental Security Income;13,433,000 who lived in public or subsidized rental housing; 5,098,000 who got unemployment; 3,178,000 who got veterans' benefits; and 364,000 who got railroad retirement benefits.”
Today, politicians vigorously encourage an entitlement mentality as a means for securing and retaining political power. All too often, Americans are brainwashed to believe that government perks (paid for by others), are guaranteed by the US Constitution and are, therefore, inalienable.
This sort of government insanity even extends beyond the US borders.
For example, the United States Department of Agriculture(USDA) broadcasts information, in Spanish, about the availability of food stamps into Mexico, either as a service to the illegal alien population living in the US and/ or as a lure to attract even more invaders.
Again, the perks are advertised with no mention of whom pays the bills.
And we wonder why the economy is in shambles and the national debt is completely out of control?
America would be greatly served by a return to the Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You…” ideal in the Oval office and in the halls of Congress!

A female CNN journalist heard about a very elderly Jewish man who had been
going to the Western Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for a long, long
time.
So she went to check it out. She went to the Western Wall and there he was,
walking slowly up to the holy site.
She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave,
using a cane and moving very slowly, she approached him for an interview.
"Pardon me, sir, I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. What's your name?
"Morris Feinberg," he replied.
"Sir, how long have you been coming to the Western Wall and praying?"
"For about 60 years."
"60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?"
"I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims."
"I pray for all the wars and all the hatred to stop."
"I pray for all our children to grow up safely as responsible adults and to
love their fellow man."
"I pray that politicians tell us the truth and put the interests of the
people ahead of their own interests."
The journalist then asked, "How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"
"Like I'm talking to a F****** wall."
We, in this present world, that are not in the public eye sometimes live by a different standard.
The current state of not only Sports and Entertainment, but Politics has come to full light.
These Days, you only have to "SAY" that you have changed or that you are "sorry" AFTER being caught or exposed in Immoral/Illegal activities is supposed to give any and all a free pass on all you do.
Athletes, no matter their age are accounted to be Children, innocent of everything. Politicians just say "I'm Sorry and seeking Treatment" are to be completely forgiven, excused, retained, and exonerated for every Criminal or Immoral act ever done.
Is there any reason to believe that this New Norm is not the reason why the actions done by anyone these days are never really paid for by the individuals committing these deeds? There is truly no real regret or repentance by someone that only says they change just by getting Busted.
True change doesn't come by being exposed publicly, but by being truly repentant in your Heart while not being busted or exposed.
Politicians, unable to be Honorable in actions, word and deed, should be Banned from public service until they live without incident for YEARS before given a chance to cheat the People again.
Criminal activity should ban you indefinitely maybe totally from public service(disservice).
While athletes serve only as entertainment, Public Sevants are to not be above the Law, but to uphold the Law. Public Servants that are Immoral or Criminal are just that, they serve only themselves not the Public.
I'm not without Sin or any action not in need of regret and repentance, No, but I didn't need to be exposed or busted to come to that point of changing and doing the right things. I am no better than anyone else and others are no better than We the People.
Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Christian or not We must not give any place of public office to the Illegal or immoral any longer. Demand that our Leaders not be above the Law but FOLLOW the Laws of our land and the God of our Founding Fathers.
In my opinion.

War declared on America
Dear fellow Patriots,
Most of you are exactly like me... You love the United States of America with a love that is sometimes hard to explain to other people. Yet for those that think like we do, know exactly that shared feeling without words ever spoken. I sometimes think some of us have this love of country in our DNA, but I do know that it's Scientifically impossible. With all that said, it is because of my love for my homeland, the USA, that I write the following...
On 11/21/2013 the Obama administration, in collusion with the Democrat Party, declared WAR on America. More directly, WAR has been declared on "We The People".
With yesterday's move by Senate Democrats (taking control of the Senate), "We The People" no longer matter. Although that is but one political move, it's the type of move that in conjunction with other moves made by Democrats, including by the President, that normally paves the way for a total takeover of a government by dangerous Marxist leaning thugs.
I don't want to go-on endlessly about the dangerous moves by the extremist Left to control the country, so let someone else, in their own words, tell you what is coming...
In the words of prominent Communist Party theoretician Nikolai Bukharin, "We asked for freedom of the press, thought, and civil liberties in the past because we were in the opposition and needed these liberties to conquer. Now that we have conquered, there is no longer any need for such civil liberties."
Nikolai Bukharin is a little known but very accomplished Communist that worked behind the scenes in the early 1900's to help usher-in the Communist party. A Communist party that was responsible for the Murder of millions upon millions of it's own citizens. Take heed what comrade Bukharin said about freedoms no longer needed, and apply what they did to what the Obama team is doing. If you do, you realize that WAR HAS BEEN DECLARED ON WE THE PEOPLE.
Now for the obvious question: What do WE do about it?
Wake Up Calls RE" Obama False Flag U.S. Nuke Attack / U.S. Takeover

I was tweeting last year regarding how the obama / democrat / progressive stance on maintaining a porous US Border was probably related to their intention of maintaining "plausible deniability" for a future detonation of a nuke inside US Borders, orered by the White House to declare an unprecedented National Emergency sufficient for POTUS to suspend the constitution (permanently) as well as congress and the supreme court, martial law, immediate and permanent dictatorship (until Christ returns that is! and THAT TOO will be soon! : )

Dear Patriots. Sen Ted Cruz went to bat for us, putting it all on the line, to defund Obamacare. With 5 million thus far and the number expected to grow to 129 million Americans losing their health care plan, Cruz's effort was a remarkable display of courageous leadership.
We at Conservative Campaign Committee have created a wonderful “Thank You Ted Cruz” television ad. With only a hand full of politicians willing to take the heat for serving as the voice of We The People, it is crucial that we express our appreciation, respect and loyal support.
As you eat turkey (Mary and I have discovered tur-duc-ken) with your families over the holidays, please help us place our “Thank You Ted Cruz” ad on TV across America.
Here are our media buys thus far; NFL Football, including the pre-game and post-game shows and on all 3 networks that will broadcast Thanksgiving Football (CBS, FOX, NBC). But we need more.

In late October 2008, Barack Obama said, “We’re five days away from the fundamental transformation of the United States.”
The first time ever ‘Nuclear Option’ in the Senate ‘rules’ was sanctioned with Vote Number 242 by the Senate Democrats’ majority on November 21, 2013 to approve President Obama additional radical Judges in the US Courts.
President Obama, and Capitol Hill Democrats continue to cram ObamaCare down (y)our throats. Now, Capitol Hill Democrats are joining President Obama and his ‘promised’ anti-Constitutional transformations with the changing of our USA and our Constitutional ‘freedoms and values’ from a Republic system of government to a Socialistic system are dissembling our Constitution. Capitol Hill Democrats are now legislating anti-Constitutional changes.
All Senate Republicans voted ‘YEA’ to maintain our Republic, all but 3 Democrats and all Independents voted ‘NAY’ for a more move to Socialism. Senator Levin (D-MI) and Senator Pryor (D-AR) who both voted with the GOP are facing a strong challenger in the 2014 General Election.
Are you elated with President Obama and Capitol Hill Democrats, or are you disgusted?
See how your Senator voted.
Have your had it, do your still want to what until 2014. After today if we do not have a mass recall every thing Obama wants he will get. If we do nothing then do not cry at what we get. Are we American's or crybaby. It is easy to sit and just write, how about doing something with your hands beside writing. Get out and get the number we need to recall. If you say to your self we do not have the money, then let me say do you need money to write you name down on paper. I truly believe we are not a tea party but a crybaby party from all the massage I get in my e-mail. (He did this or he did that) stop it and do something American
If you consider yourself a Christian, this concerns you.
Our Muslim lead government is turning it's back on the Holy Land.
Remember Sodom and Gomorrah? Could this be our fate?

Israel's foreign minister said Wednesday that it was time for his country to look beyond
the U.S. as its principal ally, the Jerusalem Post reports. Foreign minister Avigdor
Liberman said that the U.S. was too distracted with other problems. However, with talks
resuming in Geneva toward a nuclear deal with Iran that Israel fears is too weak,
Liberman's statement reflects disappointment in President Obama's policies.
"For many years Israel's foreign policy was one directional towards Washington, but my
policy has many more directions," Liberman said, according to the Post. Prior to the
Six-Day War in 1967, the U.S. was an important ally but France was Israel's main source
of diplomatic and military support in the West. Israel has occasionally reached out
independently to China and Russia in the past, sometimes irritating the U.S. administration.
God, please bless America for it's president is also our enemy.
It's the end of the primary lead smelter
in Herculaneum (and I feel fine)

(We ran an earlier article on this subject
"Back Door Gun Control Moves Forward", on 11/2/13).
By Bob Owens, November 8th, 2013
Article Source

In recent days various news outlets, blogs, and forums have gotten very worked up over the closure of the nation's last primary lead smelter in Herculaneum, Missouri. Many are claiming that this is an attempt of the Obama Administration to implement "backdoor gun control" by destroying the lead used as the primary metal in most bullets and shot used by the ammunition industry.
This is simply untrue.
Despite the hysteria to the contrary, the primary smelter in Herculaneum has almost no direct impact on the U.S. ammunition market. Pure lead, in fact, is not desirable for the creation of ammunition as it is too soft. Pure lead is primarily used in the creation of low-contamination specialty products.
Where does all the lead in the U.S. go? The eggheads at the US. Geological Survey state:
By the early 2000s, the total demand for lead in all types of lead-acid storage batteries represented 88% of apparent U.S. lead consumption. Other significant uses included ammunition (3%), oxides in glass and ceramics (3%), casting metals (2%), and sheet lead (1%). The remainder was consumed in solders, bearing metals, brass and bronze billets, covering for cable, caulking lead, and extruded products.
According to Daniel Hill, Operations Manager at Mayco Industries—"the largest fabricator of lead based products, other than batteries, in the United States" including lead shot and the lead wire used by many bullet manufacturers— roughly validates these numbers. Hill said that least 80% of lead used in the United States secondary market comes from recycled batteries and another 7%-9% of lead on the market comes from other scrap sources. Only 10% of the lead in the U.S. comes from mining.

Translated into plain English, ammunition isn't a primary lead consumer (3%) in the United States, and the majority of the lead used by ammunition manufacturers comes from secondary smelters that recycle lead from car batteries.
Sierra Bullets confirmed earlier this week that they have never used lead from a primary smelter.
Tim Brandt of ATK (Federal Premium, CCI, and Speer ammunition), noted that they had just added this to the top of their frequently asked questions (FAQ).
Q: Does the recent news regarding a major U.S. lead smelter shutting down mean you'll have trouble obtaining lead for manufacturing conventional ammunition?
A: At this time we do not anticipate any additional strain on our ability to obtain lead.

Brad Alpert, President and Operations Manager ofMissouri Bullet Company, was even more blunt, calling fears of a shortage a "tempest in a teapot," stating that the closure of the primary smelter have "no impact" on their production.
David Hargett, CEO of new North Carolina-based ammunition manufacturer Cape Fear Arsenalconsiders the closure of the primary smelter a "non-issue."
In summary, the closure of the Doe Run primary smelter will have little to no impact on the ability of ammunition companies to produce bullets, because they have no direct interest in the consumption of "pure lead" produced by a primary smelter.
The ammunition companies we were able to speak with obtain the lead wire they use in the creation of bullets from secondary smelters and foundries that create lead alloys made from recycled lead from batteries and other scrap sources.
It's the end of the nation's last operating primary lead smelter, but not close to seeing the end of lead ammunition manufactured in the United States, nor are we seeing an attempt at backdoor gun control.

While black celebrities such as Oprah continue to claim that Obama is opposed and disrespected because he is black, the truth is the polar opposite. Because Obama is black, he enjoys unprecedented imperialistic power and respect. Obama ignores the Constitution, changes and refuses to enforce laws at will.
Despite impeachable offenses, white America does not have the stomach to impeach the first “African-American” president. Consequently, Obama's lies and deceptions continue to devastate the lives of millions of Americans without serious push back.
A courageous black woman, Rosa Parks, played a major role in launching the civil rights movement by refusing to take a seat in back of the bus. Ironically, our first black president has forced the Constitution, the law, freedom and liberty to the back of the bus.
How are millions of white Americans responding to being called racist by black celebs (Oprah, Samuel L. Jackson, Morgan Freeman and others) who have become multimillionaires as a result of white patronage? These black celebs are absurdly using a refusal to rubber stamp Obama's liberal socialist/progressive agenda as evidence of racism against a black president.
And yet, a majority of white Americans give their black accusers a pass; probably for the same reason they voted for and have given Obama a pass. White guilt.
Not only is racism from blacks tolerated, liberals appear to believe at least a minimal amount of resentment against whites is required for a black not to be an “Uncle Tom”. As a black conservative, I have been much criticized by white liberals for my lack of anger and resentment against white America.
Oprah playing the race card is surprising and disappointing. Oprah's rise to American goddess status was built upon her ability to transcend race. The vast majority of her loyal fans are white. Why would Oprah boldly without hesitation dis white America?
At first, I thought Oprah and other black celebs brain-dead approval of Obama was all about skin-color. I was wrong. Black celebs who are typically liberal vilify black conservative Republicans.
While racial loyalty does come into play, first and foremost, Oprah is a liberal. Obama champions Oprah and her Hollywood buddy's liberal agenda. Like a religious fanatic willing to sacrifice everything for their faith, zealot Oprah is willing to sacrifice the good faith she has built with mega millions of whites over the years to further her religion of Liberalism. Barack Obama, the president protected by his black iron-man suit, is the perfect vehicle to implement Oprah's dream agenda.
In 2008, millions of excited well-intentioned white Americans rushed to vote for the first African-American presidential nominee. They naively assumed a black president would be the ultimate apology for slavery and America could never be called a racist nation again. They were wrong. The Obama Administration has polarized America dramatically; exploiting race whenever it serves its purpose.
Millions of white Americans have been voting for Oprah with their TV remotes for decades. If America is racist, how is it possible that a thumbs up from a black woman could equal a New York Times best seller and millions of dollars generated for an author?
Oprah and Obama were granted a golden opportunity to strongly influence the healing of America's racial divide. Oprah and Obama betrayed white America. Both chose to embrace the dark side, sacrificing national race relations on the alter as a burnt offering in worship of Liberalism and the furtherance of its agenda.
In the mind of Oprah and her fellow liberals, furthering the liberal agenda trumps common sense and the best interest of the American people.
Bottom line, liberals believe they are much smarted than us and better equipped to manage every aspect of our lives. This would explain liberal mayor Bloomberg's obsession with mandating food restrictions.
If we would simply surrender total management of our lives over to liberals, they will transform America into a utopia.
Achieving liberal Nirvana trumps everything. Thus, the reason why Oprah and Obama have thrown their loyal white American fans and voters under the bus.
Rather than these two gifted Americans using their charisma, power and influence to bridge the gap, they continue to further the great racial divide.

Methodist Minister found guilty of performing gay marriage
Somewhere in heaven God has to be wondering what in tarnation is wrong with the shepherds who claim to serve him and pledge to follow his word. Even though it is abundantly clear that same sex marriage is not accepted in the church a Pennsylvania Methodist pastor decided to officiate a gay wedding. Rev. Frank Schaefer, according to the Philadelphia Enquirer held matrimonial services for his gay son’s wedding.
Even though the Methodist Book of Discipline is very clear in forbidding this type of wedding ceremony, the pastor stated that “he tried to follow God’s command to minister to all,” suggested the Philadelphia Enquirer. The only problem with that, the church officials of America’s largest Protestant denomination begged to differ. In fact, the errant minister was brought up on charges by the church hierarchy even though the church itself has accepted lesbian and gay members in its congregations.
Rev Schaefer stepped over the line and apparently decided to push the church’s moral envelope in deciding on a church trial instead of simply agreeing to not engage in the forbidden practice again. It is not clear why church officials waited several years to bring charges against the Methodist minister for his son’s gay marriage ceremony which took place in Massachusetts.
What is clear is that the minister, who has been ordained for 20 years, decided that the punishment which ranges from a simple official reprimand to being stripped of his pastoral credentials was worth the risk. He stated, “”I love the United Methodist Church,” and even he agrees with a great number of its tenets, except for the gay marriage provision.
And there lies the problem with ministers like Rev. Schaefer of Pennsylvania or Bishop Allyson D. Nelson Abrams, 43 of Detroit who married a female bishop and hid her act from her church; you cannot rewrite the word of God in the bible. Being an ordained shepherd is not a menu which allows you to select which holy tenets of God you feel like obeying and others you can conveniently ignore.
This Blog Post will be short and to the point. I will basically give a quick summary of each resources and how it is available. The biggest share are available in a PDF on the net. I can explain the content and list the PDF name exactly. I think the names are exact but if not they are close enough for you to find them in order to obtain the resource yourself. I cannot by law copy them and give them to you. If I could I would copy them here and make them easily for you to copy The first PDF is titled “The Future of Children with Disabilities,” from http://www.futureofchildren.org. It is volume 22 Number 2 Spring 2012. It contains a number of articles within the PDF; ranging from and introduction on disabilities and the future to emerging technologies. My next pick to place in this mix is on self advocacy and determination. There is the National Gateway sight and resources; twitter handle @gatewaytosd, facbook is gatewaytosd and Utube GagewaytoSD. I can’t speak with certainty about Utube having videos on self advocacy and determination. However, I am pretty certain that Gateway has videos about this topic. The PDF title to look for on the net is 2011_issues1_selfd_selfa.pdf. It deals with advocacy and determination on many levels. The publishers are National Training Institute on Self Determination. As I stated before there are many other resources on the National Gateway and Self Determination site at http://www.ngsd.org/. Here I want to point out the great tool graphic organizers are for teaching to those that lean to the visual learning mode. They can be a great tool for many children tool. Look at these terms and places listed below or put in a search engine to reveal many free resources for graphic organizers. Many can make there own with the word processing software on their computer. The part that deals with accounting or graphic to make tables. There are those that say shapes that can be used to make your own graphic organizer to tailor your mapping of content. But see below for more; Freeology is a place where you can get free graphic organizers Rubistar or putt graphic organizers in any search engine to reveal more sources of free organizers. You may have sign up for a free newsletter but I consider that a small price to pay. It is up to you. I want to bring a term to you called Project Based Learning. See this site for a free article http://www.edutopia.org./user185983.edia/profile. Students basically are applying learning to real world applications or doing case studies. I think this is great for all students but specifically for students with disabilities. Grants from Youth Service America and Service Learning are available for teachers to apply as well as other nonprofits and areas. The next to PDF’s are a result of a ten year study by The National Autism Center’s National Standard’s Report. They deal with best practices in education in healthcare. The one on healthcare can be download by a family touched by autism I believe. The one one on education is free to teachers, educators and maybe homeschoolers. At least this is my understanding. Please read all the declarations and instructions on all the sites and follow the rules. And below are the exact PDF names of the reports: NAC EdManuel1_Finalpdf NAC NSPReport_FINPDF I know these will be of great to use to families, teachers, providers and others working with or associated with autism and special needs.
So, according to reports, the US government is negotiating with the Afghan government with regards to the role of our military in their country. If you remember, over a year ago, the administration said that we would be out of Afghanistan, leaving a small contingent. Evidently, now they are trying to finalize the terms.
The yet unsigned agreement calls for a contingent of American troops to remain in Afghanistan in a security and training capacity. The agreement says that although there may be a need to conduct missions against Al-Qaeda, Afghan officials do not want American forces to have the ability to arrest or search homes or other real estate properties. They also want the troop numbers to be between 10,000 and 15,000 personnel, while the administration claims the number will be around 6,000 to 8,000.
Current rules of engagement under which our men and women operate basically puts targets on their backs. Soldiers and Marines under fire must get permission to return fire. If insurgents are seen entering a building or home, our troops can’t fire on the structure until it is certain there are no innocents in the building. Unfortunately, the insurgents don’t operate under the same ROE. They don’t even care if they kill some of their own people during a firefight. In the end, they’ll blame it on the Americans.
This plan will keep billions of taxpayer money going to fund and equip the Afghan military, which is thoroughly infiltrated by insurgents. It places the American troops mostly defending outposts, the positions of which are known by those insurgents. This agreement for all intents and purposes places our troops in the position of hostages to the Afghan government to ensure future payments and equipment, possibly indefinitely. This administration even helps the enemy by giving millions of dollars to companies to build in Afghanistan, even though they are known to fund terror groups.
The Afghans want one more thing. They want an official apology from the President of the United States for anything they think any American may have done at anytime that might be construed as offensive to any Afghan. This is being considered by this administration. It is, after all, one of the few things Barack Hussein Obama does well; apologize for American Exceptionalism wherever it remains uncrushed by his administration!
It is time (or way past time) for our troops to be pulled out of Afghanistan and let Karzai and his Afghan leadership sink or swim. There should be no further funding to their government or no other shipments of arms unless paid for by them. Let the Afghan government be concerned with winning the hearts and minds of their own people. The policy of the United States should be if we must send in our troops to help another country, they should be given the rules of engagement that allows them to win decisively, then come home!
With regards to the apology, I’m an American and never have I apologized for that. I served in Vietnam and never apologized for that (nor will I ever). I served in the US Marines for 25 years and am proud of my service and have never felt apologetic for that service. I’m positive those who have served in Afghanistan, as well as Iraq, feel the same pride. The administration should never apologize for the men and women who serve our Armed Forces. He should apologize TO those in the military. Perhaps he could start with the families of those he helped kill in Benghazi and those he helped kill during Extortion 17!

Pentagon Can’t Account For 8.5 Trillion Taxpayer Dollars
November 19, 2013 by Sam Rolley

A recent investigation has revealed that the Pentagon has failed to account for $8.5 trillion dollars of taxpayer money Congress has allocated toward the U.S. Department of Defense since 1996.
According to the report, out from Reuters, the Pentagon has routinely cooked its books by failing to supply a clear monthly account of the money spent for Defense Finance and Accounting Services (DFAS).
Via Reuters:
Linda Woodford spent the last 15 years of her career inserting phony numbers in the U.S. Department of Defense’s accounts.
Every month until she retired in 2011, she says, the day came when the Navy would start dumping numbers on the Cleveland, Ohio, office of the Defense Finance and Accounting Service, the Pentagon’s main accounting agency. Using the data they received, Woodford and her fellow DFAS accountants there set about preparing monthly reports to square the Navy’s books with the U.S. Treasury’s — a balancing-the-checkbook manoeuvre required of all the military services and other Pentagon agencies.
And every month, they encountered the same problem. Numbers were missing. Numbers were clearly wrong. Numbers came with no explanation of how the money had been spent or which congressional appropriation it came from. “A lot of times there were issues of numbers being inaccurate,” Woodford says. “We didn’t have the detail … for a lot of it.”
The data flooded in just two days before deadline. As the clock ticked down, Woodford says, staff were able to resolve a lot of the false entries through hurried calls and emails to Navy personnel, but many mystery numbers remained. For those, Woodford and her colleagues were told by superiors to take “unsubstantiated change actions” — in other words, enter false numbers, commonly called “plugs,” to make the Navy’s totals match the Treasury’s.
The news agency revealed that for the fiscal year 2012, it is “impossible to determine” how much of the $565 billion Congress budgeted for the Pentagon was used for its intended purpose.
The report also reveals numerous examples of unnecessary military spending as well as about a half trillion dollars in unaudited contracts with private companies, meaning there is no way to tell whether goods and services were ever actually delivered to the Defense Department.
“The Pentagon can’t manage what it can’t measure, and Congress can’t effectively perform its constitutional oversight role if it doesn’t know how the Pentagon is spending taxpayer dollars,” Senator Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) said in an email response to Reuters. “Until the Pentagon produces a viable financial audit, it won’t be able to effectively prioritize its spending, and it will continue to violate the Constitution and put our national security at risk.”
Coburn and Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) have introduced bipartisan legislation to limit funding for new Pentagon programs and prohibit the purchase of new technology if the Defense Department is not ready for audits by 2017.
That the Pentagon is bad at tracking taxpayer money is nothing new. In fact, on the day before the terror attacks on 9/11 that lead to more than a decade of ramped up military spending, then Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld announced, “According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 Trillion dollars in transactions.”
Rumsfeld went on to say that America’s “adversary is closer to home, it’s the Pentagon bureaucracy.”
The next day, however, the Trade Centers fell and talk about wasteful military spending was forgotten.
Anger, I am told is right below the surface; with lots of it.
Not, that I am wrong but a bit, “Way over the top!” By a long time doctor and sister.
Ground into my gut; while stuck in my throat.
Everyone’s got a say; a right to get my goat.
Right wasn’t how I was treated!. Heck missed fractures, screwed with my professional life and all while I was either over or under medicated most of the time.
Fracked up I was. Locked into the extremely bad Doc’s care ‘n’ of OKC Trauma Center; is my opinion.
Least I have a right to my opinion. Not fair these got to others to choose where my medicare was given to me.
Arranged were long IQ tests by yet a stupid intern; because I made a super lab test rat.
Really had no caring for sharing how to do it right! What it was all about! Or, look up the drugs that given would surely drive all IQ’s to the gutter from any cluster!
Erase their mistakes or state them right; they were mistaken.
Sir, No sir! Not fair for me. Never cared for my career.
Supposedly, the public I would treat.
After all it is their duty to the public; asses forgot I was their patient and public too.
Fair is what I care. Right I understand. Take care of the public with my interests at hand!
Tell the world about my secrets.
All the need to know is judgement by another pharmacist.
Ecclesiastics tells of a time for everything.
Right will get you when God demands. Saying this to you and myself.
Mild brain injury! Sure if screwed with anger, that is mild.
Traumatic to me doesn’t describe the personal revelations of blank I must come to terms with and face.
Brain, I know I have the ability to achieve; heck work is the one place I still excel.
Injury, Imangine how you would feel actually having injuries; feeling crazy, turned around living here and there.
And, what else have I missed?
When is key in my career. A major incidental developmental occurred in a jump for my profession. Due to delay, I missed a chance.
Rounding which base now? Always I feel like I can never go home for me the old Sandra does not exist.
Exchange these years to go back to a different future. No that isn’t what I’m saying. Would have been nice to treated with some respect.
Calling this all what? I have to be compelled to answer; collections of my outbursts.
Klinging to the past? I am not either!
Amplify this
Now by
Going on Empty
Revolving in a door is surreal.
Now is the time to
Open the
Window and breathe to expel
as much anger as I can.
God please let me do so I can understand!
