Outgoing Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK), the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has half a billion dollars worth of earmarks in the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bills.

Inhofe, who is due to retire, has the second highest number of earmarks in the over four-thousand-page bill, only losing to Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL), the vice chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Inhofe, given that he is due to soon leave the Senate, faces little to no political pressure not to stuff the bill with earmarks.

The uni-party is completely unhinged.

The whole Beltway Empire needs to be dissolved.

It’s way past time to fully embrace the Tenth Amendment.

At least the money is being spent on worthwhile endeavors and not some grant for research into gender studies at OKST.

Now you can see why Alaska went to rank choice. It got Lisa Murkowski re-elected. She would have lost her primary. Just like in 2010 when she mounted an independent campaign to win again. She’s pretty devilish in her ways.

All pork barrel money is wasted money. The shorttimers are gouging it to buy themselves lobbyist gigs and repay their largest donors.
