I got my EBT card- I got my Bail?

"Welcome to the Commonwealth, here is your EBT card.  fell free to use it on liquor, cigarettes, electronics, guns, lap dances, and bail."   That's right, in Massachusetts use your EBT card for anything program, a convicted criminal tried to use his for bail.

The Boston Herald told the story of Kimball Clark, a convicted drug dealer who was arrested for,shockingly, drug dealing charges, again this past Friday evening.  According to the police report, here’s what happened:

 

“Once booking was completed and Suspect Clark made his telephone call as allowed, he was heard by Officer Flaherty stating to whomever he had called ‘GET MY EBT CARD AND GO TO THE ATM AND GET THE MONEY TO BAIL ME OUT, GET ME OUTA HERE TONIGHT.’ ”

Also, at the time of booking, Clark had $758 cash on his person.  Its nice to know that card carrying EBT members have a little walking around cash on them.

Seriously, though, this is insane.  The mount of abuse that goes on with EBT cards in the Commonwealth is disgusting.  Governor Patrick,not that you will do anything, but, here are five simple rules to fix the system:

1.  No more EBT cards, we go back to food stamps immediately.  Its not going to be easy to be on the state dole.  There should be a bit of uncomfort being on public aid, its not a lifestyle.  Oh yeah, and food stamps can be used to buy pastas, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and government cheese.  If you want Entenmann's and Twinkies and Mountain Dew, then get a job and buy it yourself, like the people who work do.

2.  Food Stamps cannot be exchanged for cash.

3. If you commit a crime, you lose all privileges.

4. Like unemployment benefits, food stamp benefits will have a time limit.

5.  While on state aid, you lose the right to vote. if you want to be able to vote then pay your own way!  There is a severe conflict of interest if you are living on the back of the taxpayers, because you are obviously going to vote for the candidates who want to give you "free stuff"

There it is Governor Patrick,let's sign it into law.

Its not Illegal to be Illegal in Massachusetts

Remember when Massachusetts Attorney General uttered the phrase, ""Technically it's not illegal to be illegal in Massachusetts," when speaking to WHDH radio in 2010.  Well she couldn't be more right, and also if you are illegal, you can pretty much do anything you want in the Commonwealth, without repercussion, especially if you are related to the Chosen One, President Obama.




Mr. Onyango Obama, an uncle of President Obama has been illegally living in the United States, since 1992, when he was ordered deported.  So, the fact is that he has been a criminal immigrant for twenty years.  Recently Onyango copped a plea in a drunk driving case where he smashed into the back of a police cruiser while drunk.  So, what happens to you if you are here illegally, and have a license illegally, because you are not even supposed to be here?  Well if you are Uncle Obama, you lose the license, that you shouldn't have to begin with for a whopping 45 days.  But wait, it gets better.  A week after surrendering the license he shouldn't have to begin with, the Massachusetts RMV granted him a hardship license.  Onyango went to the Wilmington branch of the RMV and was able to successfully convince a hearing officer that while living in a country where he is not legally allowed, and having a suspended driver's license that he is not illegally allowed to have, it would put an undue hardship on him to go to his job,that he is not legally allowed to have, at get this, Conti's Liquor Store.  So, according to the hardship license, he is now allowed to drive from noon-midnight, even though he illegal license is suspended.   RMV spokeswoman Sara Lavoie stated that, "He met all of the criteria.” That is the brainpower of the Commonwealth!

Don't worry, however, as Onyango has been ordered to an ICE office next week to discuss his deportation.  Yeah right, he will be deported just like the President's Aunt Zeituni Onyango was deported when she was ordered to, twice.  No, she is still living the high life in public housing and receiving disability on the taxpayers of the Commonwealth.

So, here is a message to all you criminal immigrants - Come to Massachusetts, receive public assistance and break the law as it suits you, don't worry, the taxpayers will pick up the tab!
