Stuff you may or may not know about your local, state, and federal government

Just One Dollar

I was looking through a sampling of the more than HALF A TRILLION DOLLAR$ handed out in Federal Grants and saw a curious grant.

Energent Corporation of Santa Ana in the People’s Republik of Kalifornia was awarded a grant of ONE DOLLAR for “Renewable Energy Research and Development“. What? How much research and or development can a corporation do with ONE DOLLAR?

Energent is a company that, according to their website, “… invents and develops technology to harvest the power lost from waste energy resources. By utilizing our technical expertise and state of the art facilities and equipment, Energent has presented revolutionary turbine technology and pioneering power cycles.

I searched for their financials but came up empty. Interestingly they are a company under the umbrella of Cryogenic Industries. Cryogenic operates out of Kalifornia and Basel, Switzerland. Okay nothing strange in that sort of arrangement.

What was interesting was Cryogenic Industries was sold lock, stock, and barrel, to a Japanese company, Nikkiso International Co., Ltd. last year. The estimated value of the takeover was $440 million, almost a HALF BILLION DOLLAR$.

Though it’s only ONE DOLLAR, why did the US GOVERNMENT give any money to a company that was acquired by a foreign entity, who obviously valued their worth at nearly HALF A BILLION DOLLAR$ ???

On top of the mysterious ONE DOLLAR GRANT, how many more dollars do you think was spent in administration costs to oversee and manage that ONE DOLLAR GRANT?  Someone had to read the grant request.  Someone needed to present the request to a committee.  The committee needed to approve the grant.  The execution of the money transfer to the corporation would be handled by yet one more government group.  Eventually someone would need to track the status of the grant and read the summary of the work accomplished under the grant.  I’d estimate that at least TEN PEOPLE were involved.  If they only took 30 MINUTES to do everything, that’s FIVE MAN-HOURS.  At the wasteful TRUE government rate of $200 per hour, I’d estimate that it cost YOU the American Taxpayer about ONE THOUSAND DOLLAR$ to give away that ONE DOLLAR.

Second Amendment And Progressive Think

Kids say the darnedest things. The yutes protesting for gun control say the Second Amendment doesn’t apply in “modern” times. They espouse what they’ve obviously been brainwashed into believing. The party line is that the Second Amendment was only written as a means of warding off an invasion from either England or Spain. They seem to have forgotten about the whole tyranny of government aspect.  One of their biggest platform issues is eliminating PRIVATE OWNERSHIP of what they deem as “weapons of war“.

The group Thinkprogress has written a piece where they say that there is no correlation between firearms ownership and democracy. Of course they only look at data over the past 10 years.

Let’s review a bit of American history which it appears that the kids of today and those on the left either didn’t learn or just want to ignore.

On October 16, 1859 a small group of armed men attacked and took control of a federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. They were led by a man named John Brown. US Marines recaptured the arsenal two days later and John Brown was later hanged for his crime of TREASON.

What does this have to do with the Second Amendment? John Brown was a “white” abolitionist. He believed that the government was corrupt and that all men regardless of skin color should be free. Sadly for anyone on the left, John Brown’s beliefs came from his strong Christian values, that God created all men as equals. John Brown picked up his PERSONALLY OWNED RIFLE, a “weapon of war”, and led the take over of the federal arsenal in hopes of giving the “weapons of war” to SLAVES allowing them to fight for their FREEDOM. Hmm, slaved didn’t have their own weapons. Anyone seeing something here? Now who commanded the troopers that retook the arsenal? It was then Colonel Robert E. Lee, whose statues the proge-sissies want to tear down.  John Brown’s last words, written on a note which he handed to the gallows executioner were, “I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood.

This event by a PRIVATE CITIZEN using his PERSONALLY OWNED WEAPON OF WAR was the trigger point that started the US Civil War that ENDED SLAVERY.  John Brown was fighting CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, endorsed by a CORRUPT GOVERNMENT.

Do you think that might be a good enough reason for, “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

If John Brown was not allowed to own a “weapon of war” do you think that he would have triggered the end of slavery just sending a “tweet” or posting on facebook?  Would those on the left be okay if NO ONE decided to pick up a weapon, rebel against the government of the Southern states, and just let SLAVERY CONTINUE?

Showboat and the Dimbulbs

Showboat” Comey mused that he wondered how solid President Trump’s marriage was, after he revealed the existence of the Dimbulbocrat paid for “dossier” to the President. President Trump asked that Showboat investigate the unverified, salacious document, because he didn’t want even the slightest chance that his wife might think there was truth to the “dossier”.  Showboat claims his wife would never question him if a document came out with wild “pee party” allegations and the name Comey attached to it, which is why he questioned the stability of the Trump marriage.  Hello people.  The “dossier” was an official FBI document obtained by, at the time, unknown but supposedly “reliable” sources within the US intelligence community.  The “dossier” was convincing enough to bamboozle a Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act Court judge to start the investigation into President Trump and Russian collusion as well as to spy on US citizens within the borders of Our Country.  Don’t you think anyone might have at least a tiny bit of doubt if their spouse was accused of something in an official FBI document that supposedly came from “reliable” sources within the intelligence community?

Let’s not forget that Billybob LIED to Congress, UNDER OATH and was IMPEACHED for that LIE, because he felt that if he told the TRUTH that he banged the intern, his family (including his wife Hillybob) would suffer shame and ridicule. President Trump just wanted Showboat to find out where this “dossier” came from, because he knew it was a pack of lies.

In other Dimbulbocrat news,  the Dems say the DOJ Investigator General’s judgement needs to be called into question. What’s their reasoning? Because he’s only given criminal referrals implicating Clintonistas. Uh have the Dimbulbs ever considered that maybe this is because only the Hillybob wankers were the guilty ones?

Me thinks all the guilty Swamp denizens are pooping in their britches as they are all screaming, “All the illegal things we did were never supposed to see the light of day!  She wasn’t supposed to lose!

MAGA!
