Homeland Insecurity
Submitted by Robyn on Fri, 12/02/2016 - 3:00pmI've never been a fan of the Department of Homeland Security.
At its inception just the use of the word "homeland" in the name sent shivers down my spine and brought images of brown shirts to my frontal cortex.
It was supposedly created to assist in making us all feel safe. Except that "all" has apparently always had limits.

Maybe, I'll just have to take some of that stuff Hillary uses on her private jet. This article is a tribute to the same organization that brought us 3 hour waits for "security screenings", enough time for those well-vetted baggage-handlers to throughly pilfer your belongings.
Oh, crap, Barack, how could you let this happen again?!!!
Submitted by Alligator Ed on Fri, 06/17/2016 - 4:44pmYes, folks, think of our forebears in days gone by. Think of War Hero, U.S. Grant who turned the tide and won the Civil War. Think of Professional Politician Warren Harding and his fondness for tea-pots. What did they have in common besides being Republican Presidents? For different reasons, each of them had administrations riddled with corruption.
