NY Food Stamp Recipients Shipping Welfare Funded Groceries to Relatives in Jamaica, Dominican Republic and Haiti

Yup, no fraud here (NOT!!!) … What would you expect from a welfare entitlement program?

More of your hard earned tax dollars going up in smoke in welfare entitlement fraud. s reported at the NY Post, welfare recipients are buying groceries with their Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards and packing them in giant barrels and shipping them overseas. Isn’t that special. It is bad enough that food stamps are at record highs under President Barack Obama, but now we learn that the welfare program is full of welfare abuse and fraud. Michael Tanner, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute told The Post, “I don’t want food-stamp police to see what people do with their rice and beans, but it’s wrong.” Why not? The over-intrusive, big government seems to care about everything else we do from what we eat, the size of the drink we have and with the revelations of the NSA spying, pretty much every call, email and letter we send. So why not crack down on welfare fraud? Are these people some how special? Last time I checked, fraud was fraud. This is a crime folks, now its just a matter of whether any one is willing to enforce it.

Food stamps are paying for trans-Atlantic takeout — with New Yorkers using taxpayer-funded benefits to ship food to relatives in Jamaica, Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

Welfare recipients are buying groceries with their Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards and packing them in giant barrels for the trip overseas, The Post found.

The practice is so common that hundreds of 45- to 55-gallon cardboard and plastic barrels line the walls of supermarkets in almost every Caribbean corner of the city.

The feds say the moveable feasts go against the intent of the $86 billion welfare program for impoverished Americans.

A spokeswoman for the US Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service said welfare benefits are reserved for households that buy and prepare food together. She said states should intervene if people are caught shipping nonperishables abroad.

Michael Tanner, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, called it just another example of welfare abuse.

“I don’t want food-stamp police to see what people do with their rice and beans, but it’s wrong,” Tanner told The Post. “The purpose of this program is to help Americans who don’t have enough to eat. This is not intended as a form of foreign aid.”

Well at least the food stamp cards are not being used at strip clubs, liquor stores or porn shops. Oh wait, they were.

#TheGreatKateWait … Royal baby on the Way: Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton Arrives at Hospital with Prince William … Goes into Labor

#TheGreatKateWait is almost over … The Royal baby is on the way.

From the UK Daily Mail, the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton arrived at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, west London this morning with Prince William by her side. The future king or queen will be born at Paddington hospital where Princess Diana had Prince William and Prince Harry. The clock is officially ticking. The MSM will now be wall to wall coverage of the time of the birth, natural birth or C-section, boy or girl and of course, the all important name of the third in line to the British throne.

The UK Telegraph will have continual updates. Twitter updates from Sky News as well.

The Duchess of Cambridge is in the early stages of labour and was admitted to hospital at around 5.30am today as she prepares to give birth to the future king or queen.

Prince William is with his wife at the private Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, west London, where he himself was born in 1982.

‘The Duchess of Cambridge has been admitted this morning to St. Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, London in the early stages of labour,’ a royal spokesman said.

‘The Duchess travelled by car from Kensington Palace to the Lindo Wing with The Duke of Cambridge’.

Kate and William, who spent the weekend at Kensington Palace, traveled without a police escort.

Speaker at Trayvon Martin Rally in Seattle, WA Calls for Boycott of Charles Barkley

Madness … So if you don’t agree with the mob and agree with the rule of law, they want to boycott you and ruin your career.

A speaker at the Travon Martin rally in Seattle, WA called out Charles Barkley and called for the boycott of Barkley. The speaker called for NBA player to not speak to Charles Barkley and thus he would lose his job. Are these people insane? These individuals would actually try and destroy another because they dare go against the mob and stated that the jury got it right in the George Zimmerman murder trial? Charles Barkley actually put forth a very concise and well reasoned analysis of his opinion and for that he has now been branded not black enough. This is the insanity of those who claim to be for justice and civil rights. They would take away others rights so they can get their way. UNREAL. So much for that freedom of speech thing.
