The U.S. Department of Defense spent nearly $43 million on a gas station in northern Afghanistan and has been unable to explain why it cost so much, a U.S. special inspector reported on Monday.

The DOD protector of our lives and homes from foreign enemies and this is what we get.....

However, the task force behind the project closed operations in March and for that reason, according to the report, the Department of Defense said it did not possess “the personnel expertise to address these questions.”

“Frankly, I find it both shocking and incredible that (the Defense Department) asserts that it no longer has any knowledge,” the report said. It added that the task force reported directly to the Office of the Secretary of Defense and was an $800 million program

I wonder who the benefactor was from this "bend over and give me (taxpayers) another" stunt

i've always looked askance at these types of things...i thought it was just a few minutes patronizing from groups like the nfl.
but to find out the DOD was behind this, paying for it, for recruiting. well, i was surprised.
and then i wondered why i was surprised.
seems like they used to have a national guard car in nascar.

“I find a very good measure of correlation between my religious belief and my scientific belief. People say how can you be a scientist and a surgeon if you don’t believe in certain things. Maybe those things aren’t scientific, maybe those thing are propaganda.”

Oh. My. God.

“As I said when I first campaigned and I’ve said it every time since, we need to get back to the basics: Reading, writing and arithmetic from first grade on,” Peters said. “We need to be teaching the ‘c’ part which is Christian values, not Muslim values, not transgender values. We need to be teaching the old Biblical values.

You know what, lady, I would have loved it if we'd cut all that stuff we got from Muslims out of my 1980s public school education. Here's what I wouldn't have had to take:

Algebra
Geometry
Trig (I HATED Trig. No more sine, cosine and tangent for me!)
Chemistry
Geography
Photography (oh wait. I loved Photography. Never mind.)

I guess by "Christian values" she means that addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are enough math for American kids.

I wonder if just basic math would have gotten us to the moon, since she also brags about that.

Poor Ray-Ray. Most likely the presence of the police dog was a trigger. It's a miracle that this hasn't happened before.

Seriously? SERIOUSLY?

I imagine the next step will be a book burning of Zilpha Keatley Snyder's The Egypt Game. Followed by a mass destruction of any remaining videotapes of Mighty Isis.

The (Egyptian goddess) ISIS-affiliated store has been attacked for its name five separate times this year. As the co-founder of ISIS (Books & Gifts) explained to the Associated Press, he believes his persecutors to be “some ignorant people believing that somehow the terrorists have a store, a gift store, in the middle of Denver, Colorado.”

amazing.

They probably should change their name. That would work faster than waiting for Stupid people to become less stupid.

maybe have them carry different id with marks to identify them? have them register all their property? probably should have any of them be involved in the law or government either.
for our safety. we must protect the homeland.
