    Your government at your service…you know, the one that is here to serve and protect?

    We went to pick up my mom at her sitters today. Her sitter lives in a retirement community and there’s a handicapped slot with a curb ramp right by her apartment, limiting the distance she has to walk to get to the car. And yes, we have a handicapped placard for the car.

    We arrive and there’s a Federal government-owned GSA car with government plated parked in the handicapped zone. Well not only in the zone but in the hashmarked van load/unload area, like 2 feet wider than the car on either side, rendering the entire parking slot unusable. That means she has to walk 50 feet farther to the next cut and we have to load her in the middle of the parking lot.

    Local cops don’t care, my Senator’s office doesn’t care (it’s a local issue, they say) and when I try to get GSA in DC after five minutes of pushing prompts I get the auto section and the message says they don’t have any agents but if you leave a message someone will call…then it cuts you off without going to a message drop.

    Some Fed puke is on a private call and parks in a handicapped zone. Even on the outside chance that the puke was there for business (after business hours) there’s no justification for parking in a handicapped zone. BTW, the GSA car was not handicap equipped not did it have a placard.

      It’s time to put your local Congressman’s campaign signs on the car when it’s parked in that slot……
      Or using your desk sgt voice, call the local towing company, and have towed.

        I’m still going to try and find out whose car that was, which agency. I remember back when if you were caught out having a cup of coffee and using a GSA vehicle you got reamed.

          Go for it! I wish you luck. That was stupid of whomever parked there. In a lot of places it is illegal.

            It shows how disinterested government is in the ‘illegal’ actions of government at any levels. The locals could have ticketed and Sam would have fessed up the cash, but just as how government vehicles from local to Federal park in the Walmart fire lanes with impunity, it’s a nod and a wink. As for the Feds, they grew very pushy and cocky under Obama and the ‘you are under us’ attitude they have still festers.

    Posted by my cousin Dan the sheep farmer on Facebook:

    Old Farmer’s Advice:

    Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.
    Keep skunks and bankers at a distance.
    Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
    A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.
    Words that soak into your ears are whispered… not yelled.
    Meanness don’t just happen overnight.
    Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads.
    Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.
    It don’t take a very big person to carry a grudge.
    You cannot unsay a cruel word.
    Every path has a few puddles.
    When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.
    The best sermons are lived, not preached.
    Most of the stuff people worry about, ain’t never gonna happen anyway.
    Don’t judge folks by their relatives.
    Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
    Live a good and honorable life, then when you get older and think back, you’ll enjoy it a second time.
    Don’t interfere with something’ that ain’t bothering you none.
    Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.
    If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin’.
    Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.
    The biggest troublemaker you’ll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every morning’.
    Always drink upstream from the herd.
    Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.
    Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin’ it back in.
    If you get to thinking’ you’re a person of some influence, try ordering’ somebody else’s dog around.
    Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, and enjoy the ride.
    Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just shoot you!

    Caravaners clear out after Mexican police raid
    By Monica Showalter – May 1, 2019

    Who says human beings, Central American, Mexican, or North American, don’t respond to incentives? Apparently, all it took was one Mexican police raid and the caravan signups have just about vanished.

    Wisconsin Supreme Court restores 82 Walker appointees

    MADISON, Wis. — A divided Wisconsin Supreme Court on Tuesday restored 82 appointees of then-Gov. Scott Walker who were confirmed during a lame duck legislative session, handing a victory to Republicans and defeat to Democratic Gov. Tony Evers.

    The 4-3 order affects 15 of the appointees who Evers had not reappointed after a lower court said it was legal for him to essentially fire them. Evers argued the appointees were invalidated after a lower court ruled that the entire lame duck session, where Republicans took powers away from Evers and the incoming Democratic attorney general, was unconstitutional. Days later, an appeals court put that ruling on hold, creating more confusion about the status of the 15 people Evers did not reappoint.

    The underlying legal case over the validity of the lame duck session continues. The Supreme Court has scheduled oral arguments in that on May 15.

    Evers’ spokeswoman, Melissa Baldauff, predicted the governor would prevail.

    “We are confident that the court will ultimately rule against the Legislature’s unconstitutional attempt to override the will of the people,” she said.

    Those affected by Tuesday’s ruling include Public Service Commission member Ellen Nowak and University of Wisconsin Regent Scott Beightol. Evers’ administration denied Nowak access to her building when she tried to return to work. The regents took a different approach, allowing Beightol and student Regent Torrey Tiedeman to attend the board’s meeting in April while the legal fight was ongoing.

    Here is an article on vaccines. Measles: Facts and Misconceptions in a Near-Hysterical Media Environment by Sharyl Attkisson

    “Though it’s not uncommon for vaccinated people to get and spread a disease, experts say the risk is higher for unvaccinated people.”

    “They suggest there’s a middle ground that’s safer for all: learn which children are most susceptible to serious vaccine side effects, develop different vaccination recommendations for them, and safely vaccinate the rest.”

    “Fact check and sourcing on 10 statements you may have heard about the 2019 U.S. measles outbreak”

    lilbirdee12’s prayer:

    Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.

    Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.

    Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.

    Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
    Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.

    We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
    Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.

    In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.

    A prayer for Justice Kavanaugh and Col. Flynn:

    Prayer to St. Michael

    St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle;
    be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
    May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
    and do you, O prince of the heavenly host,
    by the power of God,
    thrust into hell Satan and the other evil spirits
    who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

    In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
