Janet Napolitano, frequently on the hot seat for what she
says and the mistakes she makes, has done it again. Word is that the Department of Homeland
Security spent over $430 million on special two-way radios so their agents
could communicate with civilian agencies during a disaster or similar large-scale
emergency. One of the major criticisms
arising out of the Sandy disaster is that FEMA was unable to communicate with
local emergency agencies. You guessed
it; no one was ever trained in how to use the new radios.
COMMENTS:
Remember that she has been lobbying Obama for the Attorney
General’s job. Nothing like rewarding incompetency
with a promotion, is there?
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Do you think Congress and the President can possibly find a way around the
looming “fiscal cliff” before they go on Christmas vacation? (Alberto ~ Sierra Vista, AZ)
A. No. But, they will
find a way to “kick the can down the road.”
History shows they will find some short-term solution; look for
taxes to go up on those earning more than $250,000 per year, for example. Don’t expect the Republicans to get anything
at all out of this “short-term solution” in return.
Next year, there will be a lot of hot-air talk about how they are going to
fix the tax problem and there will be some smoke and mirror trick about
reducing spending; Obama wants to increase spending by $1.6 trillion, so maybe
he’ll cut that increase to $1.25 trillion and they’ll call that a reduction in
spending. I believe this nation will be
$20 trillion in debt by the end of 2014, our credit will be in shambles and we’re
going to be looking like Greece because there’s not a single soul in Washington
who really wants to do what is necessary. I sometimes pray that December 21st will be for real and that Christ will return and lead us out of this mess we have created for ourselves.
Q. Now that Obama has won reelection, what is going on with
immigration? (Star ~ Pacifica, CA)
A. I have no official word, but the rumor is that the number
of illegals crossing the border has taken a sharp increase since the
election. And, why not? The gravy train is wide open, now.
Q. All day (yesterday) I heard talk about how Obama will not
put Susan Rice in nomination for Secretary of State because he doesn’t want her
grilled in the Senate about what happened in the Benghazi Massacre. What’s your outlook? (Truong ~ Lemon Grove, CA)
A. As I’ve said before, look for Clinton to formally resign
next week and for Obama to name Rice in a recess appointment the following week so she will never
have to face Senate confirmation. He’s
already made this move twice before and Congress never so much as made a
whimper over it. Besides, he needs to
shame them and remind them of just who it is that runs this country.
