It's the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group of

Idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep

the rest of us in line and allow illegal immigrants to come into this country without any punishment.  They also steal your tax dollars with education for their children, health benefits and social services.   Are you surprised????   

Illegals…. Lawbreakers…. “It takes one to know one”.

TO PEE OR NOT TO PEE

Makes sense to me. Sounds like an excellent plan too.

 

I have a job. 

I work, and they pay me. 

I pay my taxes and the government 

distributes my taxes as it sees fit. 

In order to get that paycheck, in my case, 

I am required to pass a random urine test 

(with which I have no problem). 

What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my 

taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. 

 

So, here is my question: 

 

Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check

because I have to pass one to earn it for them? 

 

Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting 

on their Bottom----doing drugs while I work.

 

Can you imagine how much money each state would save 

if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?

 

I guess we could call the program  "URINE OR YOU'RE OUT"!

 

Something has to change in this country .. AND SOON!

 

Oh, and also, all politicians should have to pass a urine

test too!

 

I wonder how many would be left in power?

'Overwhelmed' Letter Carrier Held Onto 17,000 Pieces Of Mail

 

An “overwhelmed” New York City postal worker stashed more than 17,000 pieces of mail in his home, car and work locker rather than delivering them, authorities said. 

Aleksey Germash, 53, a 16-year Postal Service veteran from Brooklyn, was charged on Thursday with knowingly holding onto mail,  according to the New York Daily News. Investigators said they found mail in his home, car and work locker that dated back to at least 2005.

 

Germash’s attorney, federal defender Michelle Gelernt, had no comment when reached by HuffPost.

 

Germash was “overwhelmed by the amount of mail that he had to deliver,” but said he “made sure to deliver the important mail,” according to a  criminal complaint obtained by CNN. 

 

Postal Service investigators found the stash after a tip about a vehicle containing multiple blue mailbags filled with mail. The investigators say they discovered 20 bags of mail — containing about 10,000 letters —  inside the vehicle on Wednesday, Pix 11 reports.

 

Germash’s case has gone viral and is making national news headlines, but it’s not the first time for such a situation. Earlier this month, postal inspectors found  around 60 bags of undelivered mail  at the home of a postal carrier on New York’s Long Island.

A  2008 Slate article exploring the issue of mail carriers hanging onto mail cited numerous similar cases, noting that the phenomenon dates back to at least 1874, when a postman in Rhode Island threw mail into the ocean. According to the article, the cases often involve large quantities junk mail, though in some cases mail carriers have been caught failing to deliver first-class mail as well.

10 CENT MARTINI 

 

 

 

Four old guys are walking down third ave street in Chula Vista, San Diego. They turn a corner and see a sign that says, "Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents."

 

They look at each other and then go in, thinking this is too good to be true.

 

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room,

"Come on in and let me pour one for you! What'll it be, gentlemen?"

 

There's a fully stocked bar, so each of the men orders a martini.

 

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken, 

not stirred and says, "That's 10 cents each, please."

 

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment, then at each other.They can't believe their good luck They pay the 40 cents, finish their martinis, and order another round.

 

Again, four excellent martinis are produced, with the bartender again saying, "That's 40 cents, please."

 

They pay 40 cents, but their curiosity gets the better of them. 

They've each had two martinis and haven't even spent a dollar yet.

 

Finally one of them says, "How can you afford to serve martinis 

as good as these for a dime apiece?"

 

"I'm a retired jeweler, from Labanon," the bartender says, "and I always wanted to own a bar. Last year hit CA  Lottery Jackpot for $125 million  and decided to open this place. Every drink costs a dime.  Wine, Liquor, beer it's all the same."

 

"Wow! That's some story!" one of the men says. As the four of them sip their martinis, they can't help noticing seven other people at the end of the bar who don't have any drinks in front of them and haven't ordered anything the whole time they've been there.

 

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar, one of the men ask the

Bartender, "What's with them?"

 

The bartender says:

"They're retired people from Beirut. 

They're waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price.

US Congress

 

   

 

A driver was stuck in a traffic jam outside Wash D.C nothing was moving. Suddenly someone knocks on the window. The driver rolls down the window and asks, "what's going on" Terrorists have kidnapped the entire US Congress, and they're asking for $100 million dollar ransom. Otherwise,  they are going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on fire. We are going from car to car collecting donations. " How much are people giving?" The driver asks. The man replies "most people are giving a gallon. Most of the drivers are also asking to start with the democrats just in case they run out of gasoline!

_{Coffee with Jesus ?}

 

A Republican, in a wheelchair, entered a restaurant one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee. The Republican looked across the restaurant and asked is that Jesus sitting over there?" The waitress nodded "yes! So, the Republican requested that she give Jesus a cup of coffee, on him.

 

The next patron to come in was a Libertarian, with a hunched back. He shuffled over to a booth, painfully sat down, and asked the waitress for a cup of hot tea. He also glanced across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus, over there?"

The waitress nodded, so the Libertarian asked her to give Jesus a cup of hot tea, "My treat."

 

The third patron to come into the restaurant, was a Democrat on crutches. He hobbled over to a booth, sat down and hollered, “ ey there honey! How's about getting me a cold mug of Miller Light!”  He, too, looked across the restaurant and asked, "Isn't that God’s boy over there?”  The waitress nodded, so the Democrat directed her to give Jesus a cold beer. "On my bill," he said loudly so everyone in the restaurant could hear.

 

As Jesus got up to leave, he passed by the Republican, touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed." The Republican felt the strength come back into his legs, got up and began to praise the Lord.

 

Jesus passed by the Libertarian, touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed." The Libertarian felt his back straightening up, he raised his hands and he, too, began to praise the Lord.

Then, Jesus walked, with a huge smile on his face, towards the Democrat. The Democrat jumped up and yelled, "Don't touch me....... I'm on disability!"

IS THE FIX IN HERE TOO????

 

Philip May,  husband of the UK prime minister, works for a company that is the largest shareholder in arms manufacturer,  BAE Systems, whose share price has soared since the recent airstrikes in Syria.

The company, Capital Group, is also the second-largest shareholder in Lockheed Martin – a US military arms firm that supplies weapons systems, aircraft and logistical support. Its shares have also rocketed since the missile strikes last week.

 

Hmmmmm!!!!  ANY CONNECTION?    Our esteemed former FBI Director worked for Lockheed Martin before joining the government.   He received a $6million payment from the Clinton Foundation for bringing Lockheed into the "CHARITY".
