ITS TIME TO CAST YOUR VOTE AGAINST GOVERNMENT WASTE

0

Far too many public officials buried their heads in the sand in 2021 and ignored the dire financial threat posed by our nation’s $29 trillion debt. Even worse, many in Washington continue to propose trillions of dollars in federal spending programs that would move the country closer to socialism and unnecessarily increase America’s mounting and unsustainable indebtedness.

We want to know who you think truly stood out as the worst custodian of your hard-earned tax dollars this year. It is time to cast your vote for Citizens Against Government Waste’s (CAGW) 2021 Porker of the Year!

Chosen by CAGW staff from the 2021 Porkers of the Month, the nominees who showed the most blatant disregard for the interests of taxpayers are:

House Appropriations Committee Chair Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) and Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), for bringing back corrupt, costly, and inequitable congressional earmarks.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), for saying that “paid leave, child care and caregiving” are all “infrastructure.”

Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), for proposing a taxpayer-funded Civilian Climate Corps that would hire millions of people and cost billions of dollars.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.), for endangering America’s financial stability with their massive spending plan.

Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio), for leading the push to add more money in earmarks for the troubled F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, for demanding that the IRS be allowed to investigate every detail of how average Americans are spending their money.

Ronald, cast your vote by 11:59 p.m. EST on Wednesday, December 29, to help determine who receives the “dishonor” of being named CAGW’s 2021 Porker of the Year!

We will announce the winner of our online poll in early January.

Sincerely,

Paul Sullivan, Director of Membership

P.S. Help us get as many Americans as possible to take part in our poll. Forward this message to your friends, neighbors, and colleagues!

PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE BELOW.

USI Volleyball announces early signings

0
University of Southern Indiana Volleyball announced that 5-foot-11 middle hitter/outside hitter Bianca Anderson (Chicago Heights, Illinois), 5-foot-6 defensive specialist Keira Moore (Newburgh, Indiana) and 5-foot-10 setter Jordan Troutman (Henderson, Kentucky) have signed national letters of intent to compete for Head Coach Randi Raff‘s Screaming Eagles in 2022.

Bianca Anderson is currently a senior at Homewood-Flossmoor High School in Flossmoor, Illinois where she has earned letters in volleyball.

A High Honor Roll student at HFHS, Anderson has garnered academic honors such as the Board of Education Distinguished Scholars Award and the Outstanding Scholastic Achievement Awards. On the court, she was the team’s most valuable player and has single-match career-highs of 15 kills, eight digs and five blocks.

Anderson played her club volleyball for Epic United 18u Elite, where she led her team to an MEQ Championship in 2018, a regional title in 2019 and a USAV National Championship in 2021.

“Bianca is a steady competitor who has an innate drive to discover the player she knows she can be,” Raff said. “I look forward to adding her to our middle position. She excels at running behind setters off one foot and brings a steady, yet formidable presence to the defensive side of things.

“I know Bianca’s eagerness to learn and her competitive drive will be excellent additions to our squad,” Raff concluded.

Keira Moore is wrapping up her final year at Castle High School, where she has earned letters in basketball and volleyball during her prep career.

A member of three Southern Indiana Athletic Conference and sectional championship teams at CHS, Moore helped leads the Knights to a regional and semi-state title as well as a second-place finish in the IHSAA Class 4A Tournament as a senior in 2021 as she racked up 381 digs on the year.

The Evansville Courier & Press Metro Player of the Year in 2021 finished her career 1,409 career digs and 218 career aces as she also earned first-team All-State, All-Region, All-Metro and All-SIAC honors during her prep career.

“Keira comes to us having put together a banner career at perennial powerhouse Castle High School,” Raff said. One of the things I was attracted to right away in Keira’s game is her quite fire and steady presence on the court. It took no time at all to see that she was the backbone of her team and a source of strength and steadiness for her teammates: A quality in the libero position that is valuable and difficult to teach.”

Raff went on to say that “Keira is a highly-skilled player and offers great consistency and discipline. I’m excited to for her to be a part of our already strong libero group and elated that one of the area’s top volleyball prospects chose USI!”

Jordan Troutman is in her final season with Henderson County High School, where she is a four-time KHSAA Academic All-State honoree and a member of four district and regional championship teams.

HCHS’s all-time leader with more than 3,000 career assists, Troutman was the Second Region Volleyball Coaches’ Association Player of the Year and a second-team All-State honoree in 2021. She was a three-time All-District honoree during her prep career.

Troutman also was a teammate with Moore at the club level as both competed for the Evansville United Volleyball Academy.

“Jordan brings a level of athleticism to the setter position that will be exciting to watch and train,” Raff said. “Jordan is a sponge and is going to be a great learner, so I have no doubt she will be a fish in water as she adapts to the pace and intensity of the college game.

“Like her other two classmates, Jordan has a steadiness to the way she competes that is valuable in tight matches and competitive situations,” Raff continued. “We are very excited to add Jordan, another of the area’s best players, to our talented setter group.”

USI finished the 2021 season with an 18-13 overall record and an 11-7 mark in Great Lakes Valley Conference play. The Eagles advanced to the semifinals of the GLVC Tournament.
