The Department of Homeland Security is coming to Wisconsin in style. The DHS is going to spend $19 million dollars on a private armed security force unit in Wisconsin and Minnesota. The unit will have "Top Secret" security clearance according to the official solicitation which also suggests that the DHS is not looking to hire armed guards, but professionals or military trained mercenaries.
This just goes to show you how the Department of Homeland Security continues to treat the American public it serves as the enemy. What on earth is the Department of Homeland security preparing for?

Get ready Wisconsin! Will this keep us safe from terrorists? If we are funding Al Qaeda to fight for us in Syria is this money well spent? Your 7 times more likely to die from a shark attack than a terrorist attack. You do not see them hiring more life guards at the each do you? Get ready Wisconsin VIPER teams are on their way!
Must we be raped by the TSA to keep us safe from terrorists? Isn't rape terror? Why is the TSA employee's always in the news for crimes? Why does the TSA hire felons?
If the government spent 360 million dollars to create the Obamacare couldn't they have given us each a million dollars? (America 317 MIllion people) So why get ready for riots?
To all those who like me, reside in Minnesota (or Wisconsin):
Don't worry folks, Garrison Keillor will put a humorous spin on this and you'll laugh with him and your hearts will be lightened and your mind relieved.
Meanwhile, he pockets all your loose change and an extra nice bit of reward money from the DHS.
We owe a lot to comedians and celebrities (paid actors).
Without them, life just wouldn't be the same.
