40% of Food Stamp Recipients Are Obese

Posted on by Dave Blount

Supposedly food stamps — by which the government forces some people to pay for other people’s food — are a necessary evil, required to provide subsistence sustenance to those who are temporarily out of work. Yet we read this: The U.S. Department of Agriculture looked at data from 2007 through 2010, then compared average weights […]

 

Maine’s Governor Requires Food Stamp Recipients to Work Just 6 Hours a Week, This Happens Immediately After

Posted on by Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

This is a brilliant idea that I agree with wholeheartedly. This makes sense and is totally reasonable and doable for any childless able-bodied adult, minus those with mental issues.

Even Residents of Puerto Rico Get Disability for Not Speaking English

Posted on by Dave Blount

Republicans seek to push ludicrous climate change threat multiplier off national security agenda [Video]

Posted on by Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

Well, the Republican proposal may be dead on arrival, but pushing this load of horse manure off the agenda is definitely the right thing to do.

Posted on by Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

Yesterday, I felt some sympathy for this family when they found out their son was a monster. I noted that he wasn’t made overnight and the family history had something to do with it probably.

It just isn’t fair. Marie Buchan did everything the liberal establishment encourages women to do: shunned work and marriage, repeatedly got herself impregnated by a nonwhite in accordance with political correctness, no doubt voted for Labour at every opportunity, unless should couldn’t go out because there was something good on the telly, et cetera.

A Michigan Man May Be Jailed Over Child Support For A Child That’s Not His [Video]

Posted on by Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

This is just wrong. A DNA test showed long ago that this is not the father of the child, so how can a judge possibly hold him liable for fraud committed by a woman trying to game the system? Why don’t they go after her and make her answer for her crimes and leave this […]

 

Mother of 11 Makes Shocking Announcement About Welfare Benefits

Posted on by Cassy Fiano

The welfare system isn’t messed up just here in the United States. In Britain, one mom of 11 is milking the system for all it’s worth — and she’s proud of it, too.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A welfare fatty in England is blaming the government for being obese. She says that it is the government’s fault because it won’t give her a free gym membership so she can exercise.

VIDEO: Muslims DEMAND “Pork-Free” Products from WELFARE FOOD BANK!!

Posted on by McGuire

Get. A. Job. Welfare is intended to help us when we are unable to help ourselves. Its is a stop=gap, not a way of life. There is no way that I would expect a FOOD BANK, which relies largely on donations, and mainly are charities, to cater to my ‘special needs’ simply because I do […]

 

War on Poverty Is Destroying America

Posted on by Dave Blount

The longest war in American history is not Afghanistan. It is an ongoing debacle that we have been losing from the very beginning: the war against property rights, independence, and self-respect that Democrats misnamed the War on Poverty. Since its beginning, U.S. taxpayers have spent $22 trillion on Johnson’s War on Poverty (in constant 2012 […]

 

Luxury Section 8 Housing on Chicago Lakeshore

Posted on by Dave Blount

A piece in Crain’s Chicago Business illustrates how liberal “fairness” is applied to housing: The high-rise at 500 N. Lake Shore Drive is the second-most expensive in the city, with rents for a one-bedroom apartment approaching $3,000 a month, well beyond the reach of most Chicago residents. But that’s not too much for the Chicago […]

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. –: Florida: welfare fraudsters beware. A bipartisan legislative effort designed to clobber public assistance abuse may soon send welfare perps to prison for a long time.

Democrat Congressman Sheila Jackson Lee: Change Word “Welfare” To “Transitional Living Fund”
