▶ J Rodger posted: It is interesting how the first Trump administration took Pentagon funds and reallocated them to Homeland Security and a federal judge in Texas said it was legal to do that. The executive branch does not have the constitutional or statutory authority to move funds that are allocated by Congress for a dedicated organization. It was a Trump-appointed judge that did that. Nevertheless, now we have another Trump-appointed judge in Texas saying the Biden administration cannot sell that property. Why? Because the administration in power may not determine a better use of that property. The Trump judges should go back to school and study the laws covering what powers each branch has and stop writing new laws.

Another article by Jeff Yoders about the cybertheft of a payment on an Ohio police station project, readable here, drew this comment:

▶ C Stone posted: Your article left many questions whose answers would benefit your readers: How many employees at the city signed off on the payment request? Were any city employees terminated for failing to follow checking procedures? Were any of the city employees who were responsible for this working from home at the time? This seems like a lot of money to be disbursed without at least three sets of eyes checking the documents. Checking email addresses for such obvious scam tricks is basic good practice and does not require experts. Transposing letters in an email address is taught in scamming 101. One thing we know for sure: There is a big party somewhere tonight.
