Exactly the kind of reason why creating the DHS in the first place was a bad idea

It not only created a whole new bloated bureaucracy, full of overlap and redundancy, given the fact that  the CIA and the DoD already existed, in which technocratic dweebs could find a place to land upon finally graduating, it was the kind of body that was ripe for being hijacked for agendas having nothing to do with keeping us safe from jihad:

Protecting the infrastructure of American cities from the effects of climate change is rising on the agenda of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, according to a top agency official. 

"Increasingly, we've moved not only from a security focus to a resiliency focus," said Caitlin Durkovich, assistant secretary for infrastructure protection at Homeland Security, an agency better known for its fight to curb terrorist threats. 

Durkovich spoke Thursday on a panel at the Rising Seas Summit, a three-day conference organized by the U.S.-based Association of Climate Change Officers to discuss tools and ideas on building resiliency, particularly against rising sea levels.

In the aftermath of 2012's Hurricane Sandy, which devastated large swathes of the Northeastern U.S and caused over $60 billion in damages, Durkovich said her department reviewed the task of rebuilding with a new focus on "how to think about baking in resilience from the get-go."

You're actually busting your ass to pay the salary of little twerps who make official pronouncements laced with embarrassing jargon such as "baking in."

I mean, please, somebody tell me this is a parody, an Onion piece.

May their apartment windows be the first targets when the jihadists perfect their intercontinental smart rockets.
