Americans are paying for Kellyanne Conway and Sarah Sanders to have their makeup done January 9, 2018 The Trump administration is notorious for its revolving door, but new reports have introduced us to one employee who’s managed to last: Katie Price, the White House‘s full-time hair and makeup artist. According to Politico, Price’s official title is production assistant, although her duties include styling White House staffers like counselor Kellyanne Conway and press secretary Sarah Sanders before any on-camera interviews. News alert: The Trump administration has hired a full-time makeup artist and hairstylist to glam up press secretary Sarah Sanders and other White House officials. (Photo: Getty Images) Price got the gig (and a desk in the press office) thanks in part to a shout-out from short-lived communications director Anthony Scaramucci. “The Mooch” spoke directly to Sanders on CNN to praise Price during his 11-day tenure in office. “Sarah, if you’re watching, I loved the hair and makeup person we had on Friday,” he said on air. “So I’d like to continue to use the hair and makeup person.” Scaramucci lost his job but got his wish, and the administration hired Price full-time. Price’s salary won’t be revealed until the White House releases public payroll records in the summer, but Politico reports that her position is funded by taxpayer dollars: We’re paying for the pancake makeup on most communications team members who speak from the official White House press office. Price has reportedly styled Vice President Mike Pence and communications staffers Raj Shah, Mercedes Shlapp, and Hogan Gidley, in addition to Sanders and “The Mooch.” For what it’s worth, Melania Trump‘s spokespeople confirmed that she pays out of pocket for her stylist. On her now-unavailable LinkedIn page, Price listed her previous job as a bridal makeup artist with a business called NOVAbelles. Politico reports that NOVAbelles’ full bridal makeup package, including hair, makeup, and eyelash extensions, was priced at $1,100. Price has even reportedly worked with Meredith Vieira in the past. But her stint in the White House isn’t Price’s first foray into gussying up politicians: She’s worked for CNN and Russia Today. Taxpayers are paying for a full-time makeup artist and hairstylist to make sure Kellyanne Conway, among others, is camera-ready. (Photo: Getty Images) While the Obama administration asked officials to pay out of pocket for makeup services, this isn’t the first time a makeup artist has gotten a salary from the White House. Makeup artist Lois Cassano worked for the George W. Bush administration for all eight years of his time in office, doing up the president, the vice president, Laura Bush, and any other officials and visiting heads of state who appeared on television. To help justify Cassano’s salary, the Bush White House incorporated her into the communications team. She escorted guests into the office, helped with paperwork, and handled clearances for the press — makeup was just one line on her long list of duties. In Bill Clinton’s White House, there was no makeup artist, but as Politico notes, there were few 24/7 television news networks. Back in 2005, Cassano’s title was media assistant and her salary was an annual $46,500. As Anita McBride, first lady Laura Bush’s former chief of staff and a former director of White House personnel during the Reagan and George H.W. Bush presidencies, told Politico, a makeup artist may very well be considered “essential personnel” during this reality TV-style presidency. But even if we do sympathize with administration officials’ desire to look good on TV — do we really want to be paying for it? https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/americans-paying-kellyanne-conway-sarah-huckabee-sanders-makeup-done-173126710.html They are frauds just like democrats. The funny thing is you don't see both sides suck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepr2 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 57 minutes ago, SnowRider said: No shit fence rider - it's the fiscal conservative hypocrisy that's the issue The real hypocrisy is a dumbfuck like you suddenly being concerned about taxpayers money Quote 10. $283,500 on Department of Defense bird-watching In the sage scrub of the California coast lives a small grey bird known as the California gnatcatcher. Its biggest enemy? Cowbirds, which like to hijack the gnatcatcher’s nest and lay eggs. The poor gnatcatchers never quite realize they’re raising someone else’s kin. The federal government designated the gnatcatcher a threatened species more than two decades ago, and the Department of Defense has not-so-bravely rallied to its rescue. This year, DOD approved a $283,500 grant to monitor the day-to-day life of baby gnatchatchers. 9. $48,500 to write about Russian smokers It’s no secret Russians like their tobacco. Roughly 60 percent of Russian men and 25 percent of Russian women smoke, averaging just over half a pack of cigarettes each day, according to a 2011 report by the Kennan Institute. What that has to do with the U.S. National Institutes of Health, however, is unclear. In April, the NIH announced it would grant some hapless grad student $48,500 to pen the definitive history of smoking in Russia over the past 130 years. This tome must “reconstruct the culture of tobacco using newspapers, journals, industry publications, etiquette manuals, propaganda posters, popular literature, films, cartoons, and advertising images.” The NIH apparently thinks someone is going to a) read this; and b) learn from Russia’s mistakes. That seems unlikely. 8. $406,419 to look at a “chicken and egg” problem America’s feeling pretty polarized these days, and the National Science Foundation wants to know whether to blame TV pundits. So it gave Massachusetts Institute of Technology more than $400k to ponder the burning question: “Does media choice cause polarization, or does polarization cause media choice?” Just wait until the study is published and discussed on cable news. That will be really meta. 7. $3.1 billion on vacation for federal employees placed on administrative leave Just a few weeks ago, NR wrote about how DEA employees caught patronizing prostitutes were given bonuses rather than being fired, as if anyone needed more proof of how incredibly difficult it is to lose a government job. The GAO reports that five federal agencies alone spent $3.1 billion on workers placed on administrative leave in a two-year timespan. A lot of that cash — $775 million, to be exact — went to public employees banned from their desks for more than a month. (“Primarily,” Lankford’s waste book finds, “workers are placed on leave because they are under investigation for misconduct.”) Why work for the government when you can get paid not to? 6. $5,000 for a documentary film about Madison County, North Carolina’s best fiddler The National Park Service forked over $5,000 to Mars Hill University so it could make a documentary film about a local musician. Optimistically, they assumed it might lure tourists to the region. It’s not the biggest expenditure, but it’s still irksome. “A $5,000 grant, which is $500 greater than the monthly income of the average American family, does not compare to the billions of dollars of frivolous spending by the federal government each year,” Lankford notes. But “with all due respect to [the musician] and his accomplishments, a documentary about a North Carolina fiddler does not benefit the U.S. national interest or the American public.” 5. Nearly $150,000 to understand why politics stress us out The National Science Foundation seems to have taken note of how stressful it can be to debate politics with friends and family. It’s such a problem, apparently, that the NSF needs to spend taxpayer cash to delve into its root causes. “One could argue,” the report quips, “that the most stressful thing about politics is the waste and bloat of government spending, especially researching topics such as this.” 4. Regulating llama farmers out of existence Remember those adorable llamas who escaped in Arizona last winter? Well, the federal government seized on the opportunity to ruin their home. According to Lankford’s report, the Department of Agriculture decided the owners of these llamas needed a license to “showcase” their animals, which they raised especially to help little kids and the elderly in their community. When the owners tried to fight back, they found themselves tangled in even more red tape. Eventually, says llama owner Karen Freund, they just gave up. The federal government had “just totally destroyed everything I had planned for my retirement,” she said. 3. $65,473 to figure out what bugs do near a lightbulb The National Park Service was wondering what happened when insects used to dark, rural environments suddenly encountered a light. It’s a stupid question, the report notes, because “anyone raised in a rural area can attest that one way to attract insects is to turn on a light.” No word yet on how many bureaucrats it took to screw in that light bulb. 2. Making Americans do their dishes twice In 2015, the Department of Energy mandated that dishwashers must use no more than 3.1 gallons of water per load. The problem? Dishes don’t really get clean with so little water. So now, Americans have to wash their plates twice. “Families already have enough to worry about without adding extra loads of dishes to the mix, simply due to poorly conceived federal regulations,” the report notes. 1. $35,000 for solar-powered beer The Department of Agriculture wants your suds to be greener. So in Michigan and Wyoming, it paid for solar-panel installations at breweries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
