It may seem like minutiae, but the costs of buildings for government use can be far more expensive than people imagine. While there most likely could be some cuts made, as the repairs and maintenance are done by a government that loves spending money, there won’t be in the current environment. These costs add up, which goes to show where tax dollars are going in ways few even look into. The House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure looked into this and found little corruption, but massive spending. The sheer amount of acreage and money is mind boggling. Total Costs Here, via the Committee hearing transcripts , Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) opens the hearing with some startling facts. “The FBI has a massive real estate portfolio across this country, comprised of a headquarters building in downtown Washington, D.C., 56 field offices and more than 350 satellite offices, also known as “resident agencies,” under its field office umbrella. Together the network of field offices and resid...

It is well known that it was a Chinese lab that was studying the COVID-19 virus when it was released, with said release happening as there were massive riots in Hong Kong. One of the goals of the Chinese government is to dominate the biotechnology arena, which is aided by the American government with their use of the labs in China to keep experiments secret from citizens of this nation. There seems to be quite a bit that is being uncovered by the Select Committee on the CCP on these issues and they need to be heard. Statement by Committee Here, via a press release from the Select Committee, is what they are finding. “Chairman Mike Gallagher (R-WI) and Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party wrote to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, alerting him that a Chinese military company, BGI, is attempting to set up a new firm, Innomics, in Massachusetts and Kentucky, to avoid...

There seems to be a popular movie and book for liberals that is also considered a training tool for liberals who wish to destroy the energy infrastructure. The book and movie are both called “How to Blowup a Pipeline”, which is highly rated and popular. Because of the topics discussed in the book and movie, the FBI sent out a warning since this could embolden the eco-terrorists of the liberal movement. The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability wants more information from the FBI. Committee Questions Here, via a committee press release , is why they are asking questions. “House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs Chairman Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.), and Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) are opening a probe into potential threats against critical domestic energy infrastructure after a spike in calls for violence by radical ecoterrorists on U.S. college campuses and across the globe. In a ...

The border between Mexico and America is a well known open mess, with the Democrats claiming those wanting to close it are racists and against Hispanics. The thing is, terrorists who are crossing the border who are not Hispanic and wish to kill anyone who will suit their purpose. Several members of Congress are wondering why a terrorist connected to the Somali Islamic terrorist organization Harakat Al-Shabab al-Mujahideen, or Al-Shabab, has been allowed to travel around the US without being stopped by law enforcement. How He Entered Here, via the New York Post , is what happened. A Somali terrorist was allowed into the country and was able to operate freely for almost a year before authorities realized their error and rearrested him. Republican lawmakers are demanding information from Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas about what happened to the man — and whether US citizens funded any part of his journey to or stay in the US. The 27-year-old Somalian — who so far has not b...

One of the ways that someone can determine why a member of Congress is voting the way they are is to study the lobbyists comfortable enough to donate to them. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has a few who are willing to show their support by publicly donating. While there were some concerns raised in the first article about donations from another lobbyist, Paul Sass is the focus of this article, along with who he represents. Paul Sass Here, via the Cassidy & Associates website , is a short biography on Sass. “Paul Sass has joined Cassidy as a Senior Vice President. Paul comes to Cassidy after two decades on the Hill, where he most recently served as the Republican Staff Director of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure (T&I) for Sam Graves (R-MO).” “For the last 3 ½ years, since I took over as this Committee’s Republican leader, Paul has skillfully led our staff in many successful efforts to improve the quality and safety of our Nation’s infrastructure....

To understand the priorities of a politician, one can find some insight into who donates money to them. For the most part, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has been getting the normal donations from people. Including the relevant lobbying firms. Taking that into account, people need to know who these lobbying companies represent to be able to know what they are trying to get politicians to do. While it could be friendship that led to the donation, these are still people who have an ear to the person they donate to. The Trail While researching political donations marked for the Speaker, there was a small donation from Larry Meyers. He is listed on federal forms as working for Meyers & Associates, with the donation being on June 30, 2023. This company was merged with Hance Scarborough LLP at the beginning of 2021, which makes one wonder why this was what was listed, instead of the current company. Larry Meyers Here, via the Hance Scarborough website , is who Larry Meyers is. “Larry...

  Few people, unless they had babies in their lives, will remember the baby formula recall in 2022, or the resulting shortage that worried so many parents. It seems that the FDA knew that there was going to be a shortage, but the Biden Administration refused to listen or act. That caused issues for those families with the least access to choices for alternatives. It also shows how the Biden Administration keeps making sure the American people come last in every instance, as this could have harmed many more than it did. What Happened Here, via the FDA , is what occurred in 2022 with the baby formula situation. Following the voluntary recall and hold of certain powdered infant formula products produced at the Abbott Nutrition facility in Sturgis, MI, Abbott has committed to completing enhanced testing of stored product batches prior to making release determinations. While the FDA recognizes that Abbott has conducted standard product testing, there were a limited number of samples...
