Like so many things in the PIG Bunker, this one took a while to reach crital mass. Over time, we realized that our silver bullet of PIGish award giving abuse, Girlieman of the Week, came with certain annoying limitations. For starters, it's - DUH - essentially a male thing, although we might stretch that a tad to shoehorn Comrade Hillary into the winner's circle. Also, there were times when a certain group or event majorly pissed us off and we didn't have a suitable award for the occasion. Eventually, Hambo hatched this new award notion, when he wrote, . If soldiers refuse, they could face interest charges, wage garnishments and tax liens, the Los Angeles Times said. Faced with a shortage of troops at the height of the two wars, California Guard officials offered bonuses of $1. A federal investigation in 2. California Guard soldiers. About 9,7. 00 current and retired soldiers received notices to repay some or all of their bonuses with more than $2. Soldiers said they feel betrayed at having to repay the money. Matthew Beevers, deputy commander of the California Guard told the Times. We'd be breaking the law. But soldiers said it's a long process and there's no guarantee they'll win. Retired Army major and Iraq veteran Robert D'Andrea said he was told to repay his $2. D'Andrea appealed and is running out of options. Legislators apparently think they alone are worthy to pack heat on the streets for personal protection, and the masses ought to wait until the police arrive. California's gun control laws are draconian, and getting a concealed carry permit depends on the whim of your local sheriff. Attempts by a handful of reformers to require politicians to provide a full annual disclosure of the benefits received from the public treasury have been rebuffed. Bills of this nature never meet an honest fate in which roll- call votes put members on the record as favoring or opposing each idea. The current system grants free rides to politicians, court workers, police officers, city council members, social workers, meter maids and their spouses. The bill failed even after a compromise amendment deleted the requirement to pay red- light- camera tickets. So a broad swath of what laughingly may be called . APRIL 2. 1, 2. 01. Steaming Load: American colleges sweep 'Jefferson Muzzle Awards'The Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression usually hands out awards every year to the most oppressive and anti- free speech government agencies. But the group took a different tack this year. Many of the award winners were involved in highly publicized incidents on campus. Campus Reform: . The awards were broken down into five categories this year, including both . Students' called the email 'disrespectful' and 'dangerous.' Angry students surrounded Nicholas Christakis, cursing at him and calling him 'disgusting,' while several students told reporters that they could no longer bear to live in the college. Click, an assistant professor of mass media studies, was captured on video attempting to prevent coverage of a public protest on campus. Several universities tied for first in the category of . The American people would barely look up from their smartphones to notice they've become slaves. Brian Nunamaker called 9. Lena suffered a seizure while he was running errands. Two firefighters, Captain James Kelley and Sgt. Virgil Bloom responded, attempted to call for an ambulance without a response and, realizing more help was miles away, decided to turn their fire truck into an ad- hoc ambulance. They took Lena to the hospital, 1. But now Stafford County, which oversees the fire department where Kelley and Bloom work, has suspended the firefighters for violating a county policy that prohibits firefighters from transporting patients. After his firefighters were suspended, Fire Chief Christopher Smith told ABC News he would've made the same decision, too. We understand policy, we understand protocol, we understand operating guidelines, but they are just that. He pulled over and realized she was having a seizure, so called 9. The baby's condition then changed - she became limp but still had a pulse and was breathing. Before he knew it, the firefighters arrived. Worst case scenarios run through your head while you are hoping for the best. The eternity of waiting for help to arrive was surprisingly non- existent in this situation. I was surprised at how quickly help had arrived in the form of a fire truck. He also asked the city of Fredericksburg for mutual aid, but no one responded. The men put Lena on oxygen in the fire truck and headed out; an ambulance finally responded while on route, but the suspended firefighters were closer to the hospital. They decided not to wait, Kelly recalled. At the hospital, the baby was diagnosed with paralysis on the left side of her body and had another seizure. But, she survived - thanks to the firefighters' quick decision, dad Brian said. Kelley, a 2. 0- year veteran, is on desk duty and said it's . It's not only hurting us, it's hurting the citizens as well, because we're not staffed enough all the time. It's taken a toll on a lot of things. As for the Nunamakers, they agree with the chief in saying that the firefighters shouldn't have been suspended for making a split- second decision that saved their child's life. In our eyes, they are heroes. The guidelines state: . If he says he's a woman, all he has to do is pharmaceutically reduce his testosterone for a year and voil. This agreement is a massive capitulation to Iran. Having started negotiations with the goal of ending Iran's nuclear program, the U. S. What do you think Iran's Sunni neighbors, all of whom are terrified of Iranian power, will do in response? There is a good possibility that this agreement will set off a massive regional arms race, in both conventional and nuclear weaponry, while also leading states such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar to make common cause with the Islamic State as a hedge against Iranian designs in the region. Life is but a dream? The UN Climate Change conference is wrapped up yesterday. After two weeks of world leaders opining mindlessly, protesters heckling speakers, and participants enjoying lavish French cuisine, bureaucrats agreed to squander billions of dollars to solve a non- existent problem. In a landmark move, 1. Saturday evening to adopt an historic pact to halt global warming that for the first time asks all countries to reduce or rein in their greenhouse gas emissions. They are also committed to limiting the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by human activity to the same levels that trees, soil and oceans can absorb naturally, beginning at some point between 2. Yet, this landmark pact has no mechanism to punish countries that don't or can't contribute toward that goal. The smart set who crafted this accord seem to have used same template as the catastrophic Iranian Nuclear Deal. As an added bonus, there is a one- year . Climate expert Anthony Watts actually read the deal, and has located a key passage: 1. At any time after three years from the date on which this Agreement has entered into force for a Party, that Party may withdraw from this Agreement by giving written notification to the Depositary. Any such withdrawal shall take effect upon expiry of one year from the date of receipt by the Depositary of the notification of withdrawal, or on such later date as may be specified in the notification of withdrawal. Any Party that withdraws from the Convention shall be considered as also having withdrawn from this Agreement. The chance of 0% participation at the end of the year? The accord is so preposterous that even the . There is no action, just promises. As long as fossil fuels appear to be the cheapest fuels out there, they will be continued to be burned. He argues that only this will force down emissions quickly enough to avoid the worst ravages of climate change. But that would get in the way of the real purpose of the pact: Wealth redistribution. The meeting took place at the public library in St. Cloud, and was attended by around 1. Cloud, located around 9. Minneapolis, is home to a large number of Somali immigrants, and there have been occasional news accounts of racial tension, although no violent incidents to my knowledge. Dayton is an extraordinarily rich man–I don't think anyone can even guess how much money he has–and a far- left partisan. He made it clear whose side he is on, as reported in the St. Cloud Times: From the start of the event, Dayton bluntly stated his opinions on the racial tension in St. Cloud and across the state in regards to immigration. But, this is Minnesota and you have every right to be here. And anybody who cannot accept your right to be here and this is Minnesota should find another state. Cloud area and urged participants to take a stand against what he described as ? I have not been able to figure this out by searching for news reports. As noted, I can find no record of any even mildly violent racial incidents in or near St. Maybe commenters can come up with one. This and this are as close as I have been able to come. These stories suggest that there is disagreement about the wisdom of importing tens or hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Somalia. Dayton's fulminations continued: . Find a state where the minority population is 1 percent or whatever. It's not that in Minnesota. It's not going to be again. It's not going to be that in St. Cloud, or Rochester or Worthington. But he said the key reason many immigrants choose to come to Minnesota is because of the jobs Minnesota provides. Really? The data suggest otherwise: Even though Minnesota has a good job market, that doesn't seem to have translated into jobs for the Somali refugees. Minnesota's state demographer's office reports that only 4. Somali men are working and 5. Somali women are employed, meaning many may rely on the state's handouts to survive, and are more susceptible to extremists' pull. Minnesota has one of the nation's most lavish welfare systems.
