None Dare Call It Treason

Nonprofits Are Making Billions off the Border Crisis – Federal funding has turned the business of resettling migrant children into a goldmine for a handful of NGOs—and their top executives. [More]

You don’t say.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

Metrolink Riders Check In, But They Don’t Check Out!

“We’re talking about rigorous video surveillance…and it was positive in solving this crime. It’s upsetting, but we’re moving forward.” [More]

Still making excuses, eh, Taulby? How about something positive to prevent it from happening in the first damn place?

Opacity in Government

They’re not the only ones complaining:

Oregon’s Astroturf Gun Group

While it’s interesting that candidates who never lifted a finger to protect gun rights are desperate to appear to have the support of gun rights organizations, voters deserve to know what’s really happening in our elections. And it’s not pretty. Do nothing organizations have long sought to cash in on the generosity and commitment of gun owners. And often they are quite successful. [More]

Perhaps just one the many signatories will be up for my challenge.
