Where the money going for unfilled White House positions?

There has been a lot of talk recently about President Donald Trump not filling the many executive and diplomatic positions that are required to sustain stability and carry out the duties of government. Especially with our allies. We need our partners to have confidence in our leadership.

Currently there are more than 200 vacancies in these areas. But if these positions are not being filled, where is the money that has been budgeted for them going? Is it being used to pay down the national debt? Is it being saved in the U.S. Treasury? Or is it being used to line the pockets of politicians?

Where’s the transparency? A lot of us would like to know.

I noticed recently that euphemisms are commonly used by progressives in order to make the agenda they support seem less harsh or unpleasant.

LETTER: Biden ignores the Supreme Court on student loans

Biden is constantly harping on how Trump is a threat to democracy and will be a dictator, eliminating our freedoms. It is Biden, however, who has proven himself the dictator who is threatening democracy.

LETTER: More on 1968

As a cop who was at not only at the 1968 Democratic convention at the Conrad Hilton on Michigan Avenue, but also the Chicago arson fires on the west side, I feel there were many reasons why the city was a tinderbox.
