US government Kabuki Theater, Pt. III

Posted on by

This is the continuation of a series of posts dealing with issues where some individuals in the United States government are attempting to hold at least a portion of the rest of the federal government accountable and responsible for its actions and inactions. The public displays we find, however, are not unlike the most bizarre of Kabuki Theater or Theater of the Absurd.

Here, Trey Gowdy attempts to solicit the slightest bit of humanity from a rather smug Louisiana prosecutor with regard to the results of violent crime.

Please remember, ladies and gentlemen, these are your federal tax dollars either

  1. At work, or
  2. Pissed away with abandon

More to come.

Please watch as Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) speaks to IRS Commissioner John Koskinen in the House Oversight Committee. Yes, John Koskinen, a supporter of Lois Lerner and an Obama appointee, is still in control of the Internal Revenue Service as its 48th Commissioner.

Bundy Ranch: we knew it wasn’t over

Posted on by

From KRNVNews4.com:

RENO, Nev. (MyNews4.com & KRNV) — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid hasn’t been very vocal about the cattle battle showdown in recent days, but says “it’s not over.”

Reid tells News4’s Samantha Boatman his take on the so-called cattle battle in southern Las Vegas. “Well, it’s not over. We can’t have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it. So it’s not over,” Reid said.

Of course it’s not over; the events moved into the “public relations abortion” side of the column — a situation the feds didn’t see coming.  They’ve pulled back, yes; but simply to regroup.  Reid is correct about that.

If this turns into an actual shooting scenario, I can’t think of another setting that has the potential to turn the western United States into a powder keg, with huge ramifications for the rest of the nation.

P.S.
Why no word about this?  I suppose solar projects don’t harm or inhibit the desert tortoise, but cattle do?

The Nevada incident: shakedowns and tortoises

Posted on by

One small question for BLM: since 1993 and since Mr Bundy has grazed cows on the aforementioned property involving 160,000 acres, how is it that the tortoise species hasn’t been entirely wiped out and eliminated due to the torturous trampling of those evil methane-producing cows?

How is it the tortoise even exists on the property at all — since the government is killing this tortoise in another area of Nevada?

Moreover, where is Harry Reid on the issue?  He is, don’t you find, remarkably and shockingly silent on the issue.  I wonder why that might be?
