Feds Spend $1.7 Million To Watch Slow, Fat Turkeys wnd.com | 12/15/2021 | Adam Andrzejewski
Domesticated turkeys bred for their meat weigh up to three times more than their wild counterparts, according to a study from Brown University researchers that was funded with $1.7 million in federal grants.
Wild turkeys have been observed running a six-minute mile — a speed that puts novice runners to shame — but their captive brothers and sisters are far slower.
But this information has been reported in other turkeys-on-treadmills studies for nearly a decade.
The $1.7 million in grants from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation is taxpayer money wasted, Sen. Joni Ernst pointed out in giving NIH and NSF the November 2021 Squeal Award for this study.
Extremist Professor Says US Needs ‘Down Payment’ of ‘Trillions’ to Fight Climate Change NewsBusters | 6/28/2021 | Joseph Vazquez

Co-host Juan González asked Stokes to address the “state roles, uh, in addressing, uh, the uh, the climate crisis.” Stokes said the “states have an important role to play,” but she pivoted to emphasize her fixation on federal spending.
“[T]he federal government really has the power of the purse. And we’re not talking about, sort of, a one-time surplus. We’re talking about spending trillions of dollars on the climate crisis,” Stokes bleated.
I hate to admit it but I feel more like a Gimp if I had to guess what that feels like.
“what we do in life echos in eternity”
Geez, there’s an IRS at the pearly gates too? FML.
That record your high school principal warned you about is really, really permanent.
Nah. I tax people’s patience so I figure we’re even.
I’m terrified that I may be charged and convicted of providing aid and comfort through financial support to known criminals.
More like a “git ‘er done”… an increasingly rare attitude these days…
Yeah, but I do rip the “Do Not Remove” tags from stuff, so, I’m getting even…
I feel like I git hosed every year at tax time.
But how else is NORAD ever going to be able to afford to track Santa’s progress?
I’m just glad I don’t have that poor Musk bastard’s tax bill. Eleven billion with a “B” bucks for just one year? No thanks, bucko.
Clearly a better waste of money than the “why” fat lesbians become alcoholics research
We assume you’ve paid taxes all your life. Don’t you feel like a git?
Bad assumption.
