Labor Dept Employees Watch Porn, Lie About Hours

Employees at the Obama administration’s Department of Labor look at porn on the job and lie about how many hours they work while the department gives out hundreds of millions of dollars in stimulus money to groups that can’t manage their finances.

As Obama works on his comedy career, his administration also doesn’t seem to care anymore.

“An OIG investigation involving allegations of accessing and viewing pornographic materials during work hours against a Grade 14 employee was completed in February 2015. The OIG substantiated the allegations and referred the matter to the agency for administrative action,” according to the department’s inspector general in a newly submitted semiannual report to Congress (p. 37).

What did DOL do about the porn-watcher? In our search for answers, The Daily Caller reached out to a DOL spokesman who did not respond to our inquiry. (RELATED: TheDC Was Banned From Talking To DOL For A While).

America still doesn’t know the name of the pornographic film the employee was watching. Was it called “PINK-O Stink-O”? “Head and Roses”? “Ass for the working class”? “An Injury To One Is A….[rest of joke redacted]”

Moving on.

DOL employees also lied about their hours to get taxpayer money they didn’t earn, according to the report.

“An OIG investigation involving allegations of time and attendance fraud/irregularities against three employees in the same office (Grades 14, 13, and 11) was completed in October 2014. The OIG found a significant number of inconsistencies between the start times entered on the employees’ official timesheets and the times when the employees actually entered the DOL headquarters building and/or actually began their work day.”

More lying…

“The OIG also found that one of the employees was not totally truthful during investigative interviews, and that another employee abused telework privileges as well. This investigation was a follow-up to a previous investigation in which the OIG found time and attendance inconsistencies and abuses involving another employee (Grade 12) in this office. All the OIG’s findings were referred to the Department for administrative action.”

Oh yeah, and the department gives out stimulus money to groups that don’t know what to do with it.

“We reviewed 186 single audit reports this period covering DOL expenditures of about $21.3 billion. These expenditures included about $861 million related to Recovery Act funding. For 37 organizations that received DOL grant funds, the auditors identified material weaknesses or significant deficiencies, indicating that improvements are needed in those organizations’ management of DOL funds and/or compliance with grant requirements.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
