Swamp Creatures Are TERRIFIED Of What Ben Carson Is Doing To Clean Up HUD

It’s been a year since Dr. Ben Carson was confirmed as Secretary for Housing and Urban Development. For most of its existence HUD is the cabinet-level agency probably best known for management challenges and the occasional corruption scandal involving local government officials abusing funds.

Liberals love HUD, because it hands out billions of dollars in the name of social justice. Not coincidentally, the money is often hard to account for, which is why it often ends up in the pocket of corrupt officials.

HUD has a long history of mismanagement and neglect. The agency’s financial statements are such a mess that the agency’s own Inspector General couldn’t complete an internal audit of the agency’s books. In fact, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a report in 2016, based on numerous HUD IG and GAO audits over a 15-year period, in which it reported that the agency failed to implement multiple financial accountability recommendations. Additionally, the agency seemingly ignored recommendations to dedicate staff and implement and enforce policies to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse.

This level of institutional corruption is the very essence of the swamp. And indeed, the swamp dwellers are fighting to keep things the way they were.

Then Ben Carson moved in and started turning things around.

President Donald Trump’s new budget for Fiscal Year 2019 proposes to eliminate more than $4 billion in HUD grants, believing the money would be better managed, and more effective, if it originated at the state and local level. At the same time, Secretary Carson is implementing a culture of accountability and financial responsibility that the agency hasn’t experienced in years. This began with the hiring of a former partner with one of the big four accounting firms to serve as the agency’s chief financial officer. This vital role has not had a permanent occupant for more than a decade. The Secretary then directed the CFO to design and implement a transformation plan and lead an internal task force to combat waste, fraud, and abuse.

The secretary also set the agency on course to manage its existing resources in an accountable manner.

From the standpoint of swamp dwellers, accountable and lower HUD budgets are intolerable. However, Ben Carson is a very smart black conservative leader who understands the importance of applying conservative principles to our nation’s housing and urban planning needs. Nevertheless, the stakes are high. If he succeeds as an administrator in whipping HUD into shape, the progressive left will be humiliated. It’s no surprise that the mainstream media, leftist elected officials, and progressive, George Soros-funded groups attack...

DOBSON, NC (The Mount Airy News) – A Dobson woman has received a $3.2 million bond and her boyfriend a $2 million bond after a recent drug raid.

The Surry County Sheriff’s Office wasn’t sure if that was a record for highest local bond, but it is at least the largest in the past few years.

The Sheriff’s Office tactical team led a raid at 158 Gatehouse Lane, in the Jenkinstown community south of Dobson.

The resident, Olivia Ramirez-Hernandez, 49, is being charged with the following:

• Eight counts of felony trafficking meth;

• One count of felony maintaining a drug dwelling;

• One count of possession of drug paraphernalia.

Juan Clemente, 38, of neighboring 182 Gatehouse Lane, is charged with the following:

• Two counts of felony trafficking meth;

• One count of felony maintaining a drug dwelling;

• Two counts to felony conspire to traffic meth;

• One count of possession of drug paraphernalia.

Last week, Sheriff Jimmy Combs spoke about his crackdown on drugs since taking over the department in April 2017.

He said that working with other law enforcement agencies has helped his office issue “428 charges on individuals for the illegal sale, distribution and possession of...

Saturday, Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) said that if Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein does not turn over the unredacted documents requested by Congress related to FISA, FBI and more then impeachment could be in order.

“Rod Rosenstein can call Michael Horowitz, who has the documents, and say just give them to Congress. If he doesn’t do that … there is a growing consensus of holding them in contempt of Congress, but it’s not enough to stop there. We have to have someone willing to do the job. If the deputy attorney general is not willing to do it and not willing to allow us to have our Constitutional Oversight Authority supported, then we’ll find someone who can,” said Meadows on Fox News Channel’s “Justice.”

He added, “I think that if he does not turn over the documents, that there are a growing number of us on Capitol Hill who believe that someone else needs to do the job. And what happens there is, Constitutionally, we have some things that we can do.”

Meadows went on to explain that the documents already show that there was coordination with the Barack Obama White House and with the state department, adding that the Department of Justice and the FBI have been hiding such information from Congress for months.

“What I’m here to tell you is I’m fed up, I’ve had enough. My good friend Jim Jordan is fed up,” he stated. “We are going to not only demand answers. We are going to demand action.”

“If they don’t [provide the documents], how do you get rid of Rosenstein?” host Jeanine Pirro asked.

Meadows responded, “The first area is contempt of Congress. … One of the things we...

Antifa in Austin Texas Specifically Recruiting the Mentally Ill

Girls With Guns

Czech media are reporting that the female victim was attacked in the city’s famous old town on Easter Sunday, the Irish Post reported.

Czech police spokesman Jan Danek said one of the attackers invited the woman back to his room where the Algerian and five of his compatriots gang raped her.

According to Danek the six have been arrested and placed in custody on suspicion of rape. He descibed the alleged rapists as young Algerians born between 1994 and 1998.

“On Monday at 7am the woman called the police and reported to them that she was raped in a hostel at Naprstkova Street,” Danek told the Irish Times.

“The police assault team then came to the place and arrested all the men.” A video of the dramatic Czech assault team arrests have been released on YouTube.

Members of the Special Order Unit can be heard ordering those inside to open the door. But the doors in the Hotel in Naprstkove St. in the centre of Prague, behind which the six Algerians are thought to be hiding, remained closed.

“The door could not be opened, not even with the spare key, and nobody responded to the call-out, which is why the door was taken out with the ram,” commented the police spokesman.

Czech media obtained the police footage showing armed officers in masks and helmets breaking down a door in the hostel and arresting several suspects lying face-down on the floor, counting them before dragging them off.

The suspects appeared before a Prague court on Thursday. All six have denied the charges against them.

The Irish victim, who has not been named, told the court that she had feared for her life during her ordeal.

The 35-year-old victim said she did not praise the Algerian’s intimate performance sufficiently, which clearly did not please the Algerian.

“Following this, the man brought over five more of his friends, which is when the aforementioned rape is said to have taken place,” Danek explained. The woman reportedly attempted to dissuade the attackers by claiming that she was a teacher, but it did not help. She closed her eyes during the terrible ordeal.

“I could feel as they were switching on me… I was very afraid. I was terrified, I felt horrible, that I am stupid, very mad… I thought they were going to kill me,” she related her feelings to the criminal investigators, according to the Czech daily Pravo.

In her own words, when they were done, they left the room, but one returned and...

INDIANAPOLIS, IN (WTHR) – The man accused of stabbing two others Saturday night is in the country illegally.

Christian Ortez, 35, first came into the country illegally from El Salvador in September 2016 near Hidalgo, Texas, according to Nicole Alberico, a spokesperson for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Border officers caught him and arrested him immediately, but he was released a month later after posting bond.

Eight months after that, an immigration judge ordered he be deported back to El Salvador, but he skipped the hearing and authorities couldn’t find him.

Police first found the stabbing victims just before 7:30 p.m. Saturday in the 3700 block of La Fontaine Court. That’s not far from John Marshall High School.

Both were taken to the hospital, one stable, the other in critical condition. The man in critical condition later passed away.

Detectives found out Ortez had run into a nearby apartment. SWAT officers came to help, went into the apartment and arrested him on charges of aggravated battery and murder.

Anyone with information about this incident should call the IMPD Homicide Office at (317) 327-3475 or Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at (317) 262-TIPS (8477). You can also download the mobile P3tips app for Apple or Android phones to submit a...

At least three people were killed and 20 others were injured Saturday after a van drove into a crowd of pedestrians in front of a popular bar in the German city of Muenster, police said.

The driver of the van shot himself to death following the crash, Andreas Bode, a police spokesman, told reporters. Officers said a suspicious object was found inside the van and they were still investigating what it is and if it is dangerous. Police said the main reason the area was cordoned off was due to the suspicious object.

Police in Muenster have asked citizens to "avoid the area near the Kiepenkerl pub" as authorities investigate the incident. A large-scale police operation is currently underway.
