3/2/18: Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson is the latest denizen of the Donald J. Trump Memorial Washington D.C. Swamp to run into trouble. A whistleblower reveals that rules were broken, and unauthorized monies spent to redecorate his office after he took over at Housing and Urban Development. The highlight was a luxurious dining room set, with the tab for $31,000 to be picked up by taxpayers. The whistleblower claims Carson’s wife overruled objections about the spending and that she was demoted for taking a stand.

Taxpayers footed the bill. |
Like shooting catfish in a toilet.
Once the story broke, Secretary Carson insisted he had done nothing wrong. He assured reporters he was going to ask for “God’s guidance to do what is right.”
Later, he claimed, “I was as surprised as anyone to find out that a $31,000 dining set had been ordered.”
As a reliable, if reluctant taxpayer, Mr. Blogger would like
to say he is surprised to learn that Carson’s wife would be so clueless as not
to tell him about the whistleblower’s objections or the fancy new table he was
about to receive. Let me further note that I wouldn’t need to ask God to help
me decide what to do. And even if I did consult God, I doubt He would
suggest demoting the whistleblower in revenge.
