VA Burns Through $408 Million On Sluggish Solar Panel Projects


A lot can be done with four years and eight million dollars — except putting solar panels on a Veterans Affairs parking garage, apparently. The project began in 2012 at the John L. McClellan Memorial Veterans Hospital in Little Rock, Ark., and isn’t expected to be finished until early 2017.


But the lagging construction at the Little Rock medical center turned out to be the tip of the iceberg.


An investigation by the VA inspector general, which was prompted by Arkansas Sen. John Boozman and Rep. French Hill, found that the VA has spent $408 million on solar panel projects in the past six years — all while veterans faced prolonged wait times to see health-care providers and process claims from the scandal-ridden health-care system.


The move to solar is part of the VA’s Green Management Program, which is tasked with installing renewable energy sources at various medical facilities. The probe included 11 out of 15 solar panel projects awarded from 2010 through 2013, which were still incomplete by 2015.


Each of the 11 solar panel sites examined were estimated to be finished within 210 to 372 days from their start date, but on average it took 1,269 for those that were completed.

Black lives matter?


Nearly 100 people have been shot in Chicago in less than a week, pushing the number of shooting victims so far this year to more than 2,500 — about 800 more than this time last year, according to data kept by the Tribune.


Between last Friday afternoon and early Thursday, at least 99 people were shot in the city, 24 of them fatally. At least nine people were killed on Monday alone, the deadliest day in Chicago in 13 years, according to Tribune data.


Once again proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that strict gun laws work.

The gift that keeps on giving!


Remember that great deal Obama made with Iran?


Iran is permitted to pursue the construction of two newly announced nuclear plants under the parameters of last summer’s nuclear agreement, Obama administration officials informed the Washington Free Beacon, setting the stage for Tehran to move forward with construction following orders from President Hassan Rouhani.


Ali Salehi, Iran’s top nuclear official, announced on Thursday that Iran has invested $10 billion into the construction of two new nuclear plants after receiving orders from Rouhani, according to reports in Iran’s state-controlled media.


A State Department official said to the Free Beacon following the announcement that Iran is allowed to move forward with this venture under the nuclear agreement, which does not prohibit this type of nuclear construction.


If Obama ever becomes a car salesmen I want to one from him.

Oh the irony of unintended consequences!


Political jobs held by two veteran Democratic politicians have been outsourced to two young immigrants, underscoring the growing impact of mass immigration on white-collar Americans.


The two Democrats who have lost their jobs to immigrants are both experienced, established and liberal members of the state’s version of the Democratic party: 22-term Rep. Phyllis Kahn and 10-term Rep. Joe Mullery, both from Minneapolis.


They were beaten in state primaries on August 9 by two political newcomers: Somali-born, hijab-wearing Ilhan Omar and Thailand-born Hmong immigrant, Fue Lee. The primaries were arranged by the state’s Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party.

:hahahahah

I’m convinced Trump can win. How so you ask?


Because Republican insiders are more convinced than Democrats that Donald Trump is so far behind Hillary Clinton that he can't win in November.


Roughly half of Republican members of The POLITICO Caucus — activists, strategists and operatives in 11 swing states — believe that Trump’s path to 270 electoral votes is basically shut off after another week in which the GOP nominee appears to have ceded ground in national and most battleground state polls.


I’m pretty sure these same Republican insiders said he wouldn’t win the nomination either.

So much to do, so little time.


President Obama praised his administration on Saturday for the progress it has made combating climate change over the past seven-and-a-half years, but pressed Americans to step up their resolve to save the environment in his final six months in office.


"There's still much more to do. But there's no doubt that America has become a global leader in the fight against climate change," Obama said in the weekly White House address. "And if we keep pushing, and leading the world in the right direction, there's no doubt that, together, we can leave a better, cleaner, safer future for our children."

Carlos Danger is at it again.


But this time the jokes on him. The target of his online affection was really a dude. A young Republican-turned- “catfish” baited the disgraced former congressman into chatting about “strappy black heels” and “porn scenes.”


The student, a New Yorker, used a female friend’s Twitter account and called himself “Nikki.


Damn, Huma must be so proud of him.


And WTF was Kirsten Powers thinking?

Citizens are making a big stink about the city not picking up their trash.


They’ve called in 16,936 complaints of missed pickups to the city’s 311 hotline from Jan. 1 to Aug. 1 — a surge of 26 percent from 13,489 over the same period last year, and 32 percent more than the 12,784 gripes in the same period in 2014, according to city records.


And the number of complaints was a massive 76 percent more than the 9,598 called in by disgusted denizens five years ago.


That city is New York.

Tesla has a bright future.


Reports: Tesla Model S bursts into flames during test drive in France


The car was being driven by a couple and a representative of Tesla as part of an event hosted by the California electric carmaker. The Model S sedan was cruising on the boulevard d'Aritxague in Bayonne in the southwest of France when the incident occurred.

The driver of the car told French media outlet Sud Ouest that after a little acceleration there was a warning noise in the car, at which point the Tesla host told the driver to pull over so she could call Tesla about the issue before continuing the test drive.

The trio then saw white smoke, and exited the vehicle. The driver, identified only as Nicolas, said the car was engulfed in flames in less than a minute and totally destroyed within five minutes. No one was injured.

One thing you can say about Tesla is it’s HOT!

New York senator nominee called out for linking mosque to ‘crime, prostitution and money laundering’ in Syracuse

'Crosses down, crescents up' she wrote, referring to a rising Muslim population



A Republican nominee for the New York senate has been criticised for linking a new mosque to “crime, prostitution and money laundering”.
Wendy Long posted a series of tweets about the Syracuse mosque, which was converted from a Catholic church last year, and suggesting that the mosque was related to a rise in crime.
Ms Long posted a picture of a boarded up house near the Masjid Isa Ibn Maryam mosque, and wrote: “Neighbourhood where the mosque displaced the church. Crime, prostitution, money laundering.”

She also tweeted a photo of two Muslim women walking down the street and wrote: “Catholic Charities takes federal tax dollars to resettle the refugees we can’t screen. Leaves the Catholics to Isis.”
