< Pelosi’s $1.9 Trillion COVID Bill Includes Up to $21,000 Bonus for Federal Workers Whose Kids or Family Members Are Impacted by Virus By Jim Hoft Published February 25, 2021 at 9:30am 695 Comments “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” — A famous line from George Orwell’s famous novel Animal Farm. The US House is expected to vote on the Pelosi $1.9 Trillion COVID relief bill and Democrat wish list on Friday. The bill is expected to give average Americans $1,400 each. But if you work in government you can collect up to another $21,000 in a bonus! The Democrat bill gives federal workers an extra $21,000 if they have kids out of school or loved ones affected by the coronavirus. This is exactly what Socialist hellholes do — Government workers get the goodies as the rest of society suffers. Forbes reported: The U.S. House version of the “American Rescue Plan Act of 2021” – a $1.9 trillion emergency aid package to help America recover from the coronavirus pandemic has an extra perk for federal workers: Enhanced paid time off if your child is enrolled in a school that isn’t back to full-time, in-classroom instruction. Critics call it a personal bailout for bureaucrats. It is funded through a new $570 million family leave account exclusively for federal workers. While millions of parents struggle to work from home with kids who are enrolled in shuttered or partially shuttered schools, and millions more left the workforce or lost jobs to care for their at-home children, evidently parents in the federal bureaucracy need their own, personal Covid-19 bailout… …Under the bill as currently drafted, full-time federal employees can take up to 600 hours in paid leave until September 30, up to $35 an hour and $1,400 a week. That’s 15 weeks for a 40-hour employee. Part-time and “seasonal” employees are eligible, too, with equivalent hours established by their agency. thegatewaypundit.com

re: Keltec Sub 2000 9mm... nice addition! I love 'em for what you bought it for... Surprisingly accurate, completely reliable if kept clean and zero recoil. An excellent choice for a "truck gun," especially if you carry a Glock 17 or 19 9mm as an EDC, as you can use the same mags. I found them to be 100% reliable with either 124 gr, or 147 gr Federal HST hollow points, or Winchester Ranger bonded hollow points - 2 hard to beat carry rounds. Get this 5.11 sling pack for it. They make a kevlar level III soft armor insert cut for it, just google it. 5.11 discontinued this pack but Amazon may still has them and you can find them on Ebay. You can carry the S2K folded with three 33 rd Glock mags, and 2 - 17 rounders in the main pack area, and there's a small front area than will hold a Glock 26 that can take Glock 17/33rd mags as well, or you can more easily fit a Glock 43 (X) if you want. A 120-150 round load out in a completely un-noticeable standard looking backpack (no one suspects the triangle pack to be "tactical."). Get one for your S2K. it's the perfect pack for a "truck gun," or for urban covert carry. This is also the PERFECT carbine for a female, or younger, new shooter. Folded, you'd be surprised what it fits in. ... a small computer/laptop bag. ... a large women's purse. ... a briefcase. ... folded with a single mount sling, under the arm-pit, "Secret Service" carry-style , easily concealed under a windbreaker. Keep in mind one thing - this is not a battle rifle. It's not a carbine you can take to a 2-day Rifle course and burn through 1,000 rounds. And it's not a 5-10,000 round life rifle. That's not a knock on KelTec, it's just a honest representation of what it was built for. Shoot a mag or two a couple times a year and keep it clean and keep it handy, and it's perfect for what it was designed for - concealment. For a short 9mm carbine - that you can take through a carbine course and treat like a duty-grade AR mule - check out CMMG's 5 inch Banshee pistol brace (unfortunately it's 2-3x times the price of the S2K) Here's a review from one of the top Ex-Mil guys on YT for the Banshee (shown with supressor)... The S2K for the money fits a unique niche and can't be beat. James Bond would have carried it folded in a thin executive styled leather brief case if it had been around back in the day. Perfect carbine for a doctor, lawyer or executive to carry in and out of the office every day in a nice business briefcase or laptop bag... Nice addition! SOTB
