The Week In Woke

Surprise! SNAP/EBT benefits are widely scammed and used by illegal aliens not entitled to them.

Across three-fifths of the United States, the Trump administration has found half a million people receiving SNAP benefits twice over and 5,000 dead people receiving them. In deep blue states, the fraud is probably much worse.
It is important to clarify that 20+ states out of the 50 did not comply with the federal government's request for information on SNAP beneficiaries, likely because they are trying to hide how many illegal aliens are illicitly receiving food stamps. So the horrifying numbers revealed by U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins on Laura Ingraham's Fox News show, The Ingraham Angle, are actually incomplete, and will probably be much higher if the administration can make radical Democrat states provide the necessary data.
Rollins, having mentioned the blue states' incomplete SNAP data, stated that "of the 29 that complied, what we have found is staggering. Half a million people getting benefits two times under the same name, [likewise] 5,000 dead people." Those 5,000 cases are probably family members continuing to receive SNAP benefits instead of the deceased individuals. In any case, we are wasting huge amounts of taxpayer money on beneficiaries who have passed away and greedy double-dippers.
The secretary continued to list off food stamp recipient statistics: "80% [are] able-bodied Americans, meaning they can work, they don't have small children at home, they're not taking care of an elderly parent. They can work, and they choose not to work, of course, because they're getting significant benefits from the taxpayer."

To balance out the able-bodied people getting food stamps, the Democrats have thoughtfully allowed dead people to receive food stamps too. It all works out somehow.

Billion dollar nepo baby Alex Soros is pushing his bizarre idea of what "democracy" is, and Data Republican explained to the public what Alex Sorors' not-so-hidden definition of democracy is.

Surprise! By "Democracy," Alex Soros means a small cadre of global techocratic elites imposing their will on a public that has been stripped of the right to vote.

@DataRepublican
Hello Alex,
You say your work is dedicated to strengthening democracy. I have one simple question for you.
In your 30th anniversary publication, you had an article from your longtime head of Open Society Fund-Serbia, Sonja Licht. She also happens to be one of the most decorated civilians in Europe and widely considered an expert in democracy:
🔹 Pro Merit Medal of the Council of Europe
🔹 Star of Italian Solidarity
🔹 French Legion of Honour
She has written and advised many democracy circles, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace among others.
In the article for Open Society, Licht openly discusses the problem of whether democracy can survive without trust in their leaders.
Her solution: "I believe the time has come for a responsible, courageous elite, those who care far more about addressing the genuine social problems than about election results. Only a political elite with vision, prudence and a focus on the general good--to whom the electorate, with their active involvement in public life, can cede part of their sovereignty in the elections... spearhead... our struggle to survive."
Read that again.
The idea of democracy as pushed by the head of one of your foundations is to literally stop "election results" and to have the public cede their trust to a technocratic elite.
End democracy to save democracy itself.
You cannot say that this is just a random musing of one employee. This is a woman who is highly regarded in democracy circles. This is a woman who ran one of your most prominent foundations during the fall of Milosevic. This is an article you platformed in your own thirtieth anniversary.
Now back to my question.
I am not going to ask a lame question like "what do you think democracy is?" -- I have spent over a thousand hours researching the topic for my book this year. I know what you think democracy is: it has nothing to do with elections and everything to do with ceding sovereignty to an unaccountable elite so you can implement your own twisted version of "equality" aka what most of us on the right call socialism.
Nor am I going to ask you if you disavow Sonja Licht. I know you won't and you never will. I know you agree with her secretly.
My question is:
Are you prepared for when your mask gets ripped off and everyone sees your version of "democracy" as the facade it is?

After criticism, the Trump Administration has slightly edited a report on "youth gender medicine." The new version of the report affirms that
"youth gender medicine" causes more harm than good.

Social scientist Lisa Littman put a target on her back seven years ago by documenting "rapid-onset gender dysphoria" in youth, prompting her to leave Brown University after the Ivy League school tried to discredit her research by implying her study was retracted rather than slightly revised.
Another publisher retracted a subsequent ROGD paper under threat of an academic boycott and a demand to fire the journal's editor, gender dysphoria research pioneer Kenneth Zucker, claiming it lacked "informed consent" for its use of opt-in survey data.
Now advocates for giving healthy children puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries to remove breasts and genitals have a fresh target: the newly identified authors of a "pediatric gender dysphoria" systematic review commissioned by the Trump administration, which concludes global evidence does not support such interventions.
The final report Wednesday made "fairly minor edits" to the original published this spring, gender medicine journalist Ben Ryan said in the New York Sun, documented in the 3-page errata now attached to the report.

...
There's also a new 241-page supplement with peer reviews of the report recruited by the Department of Health and Human Services, most prominently by the American Psychiatric Association, and authors' replies to each.
HHS emphasized that the American Academy of Pediatrics and Endocrine Society -- strong supporters of so-called gender-affirming care for minors -- turned down its invitations.
...
The American Medical Association and AAP "peddled the lie that chemical and surgical sex-rejecting procedures could be good for children," HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Wednesday, using the same confrontational tone as when his agency released the original.
"They betrayed their oath to first do no harm" and "inflicted lasting physical and psychological damage on vulnerable young people," which is "malpractice," he also said.
The authors' findings discredit "pediatric sex-rejecting procedures" and affirm the Make America Healthy Again Commission's findings, that "unnecessary procedures and long-term health risks such as infertility are the byproduct of the overmedicalization of children," HHS said.
"Sex-rejecting procedures" appear to have been first suggested as a replacement for "gender-affirming," and as an alternative to HHS's proposed "sex-trait modification," just a week after the original report's release, coined by the Ethics and Public Policy Center. It's also used on the assistant secretary for health's "priorities" page.

"Sex-rejecting procedures" is better than the Orewellian lie "gender-affirming."

The Washington Post editorial board commended the final report, albeit under the cagey headline "What we still don't know about pediatric medical transition."

The Post is slowly going non-woke.

While the evidence of harm is also "sparse," the authors emphasized this "may reflect the relatively short period of time since the widespread adoption of the medical/surgical treatment model; the failure of existing studies to systematically track and report harms; and publication bias."

And cowardly academics falsifying their findings to appease the trans terrorists.

From David Strom: As the UK begins to actually regulate and investigate Sex-Rejecting Procedures, trans maniacs are moving to online-only "consultations" and sales of artificial hormones.

Benjamin Ryan
@benryanwriter
Helen Webberley, whose GenderGP service is notorious in the U.K. for flouting bans on pediatric gender-transition treatment by shipping blockers and hormones to British minors from abroad, is rolling out her telemedicine services in the United States, starting in 12 months.

Stella O'Malley
@stellaomalley3
For anyone wondering why Helen Webberley is suddenly everywhere, it is because she is expanding her dreadful mercenary hormone-peddling service for vulnerable, autistic, same sex attracted young people into the US. She knows this is where the profits are $$$$$

Vanessa Sivadge
@V_Sivadge
Meet Helen Webberley, founder of GenderGP:
* In 2018, she was fined for running an unregistered clinic.
* In 2022, a medical tribunal found she had failed to fully discuss fertility risks and provide proper follow up to patients.
* In 2024, she surrendered her UK medical license after facing allegations of serious misconduct.
Nothing to see here, just your average gender provider with an alarming past.

I guess this is actually technically a woman, but I don't know why this pyrsyn would even need Sex-Rejecting Procedures. Because she looks like a dude.

A taxpayer-funded public library in PA is celebrating "Transgender Awareness Week" by, of course, pushing pro-trans propaganda on children.

As these activists admit themselves: they target children, and almost never adults, because children's minds are highly impressionable and easily changed.

Last week I reported (well, I linked) a Sixth Circuit opinion stating that schools cannot force students to use fake pronouns. The Court ruled that the school may not use its power and authority to "skew" a necessary and legitimate debate on a political issue by imposing a fake resolution to that debate on students.

Via Greg Foreman, woke activists are boo-hoo whinin' and cryin' about the ruling. The first gay whiner he features lisps that you are using "supremacy" -- note he doesn't say "white supremacy," because he is white himself, and that would be ridiculous -- to "abuse queer people." He also uses a term I hear more and more from the woke -- you are abusing "authentic humans," strongly implying that queer/minority folx are "authentic humans" and you are not authentically human yourself.

Huh. And yet they whine about "dehumanization" every three seconds.

CBS "News" sad story: A gay FBI agent who displayed his Pride flag at work in defiance of FBI rules says he's been unjustly fired, and CBS "News" agrees!

The Pride flag should replace the American flag! Gays must have special privileges or it's homophobic!

David Maltinsky, a 16-year FBI employee who was weeks away from being elevated to the position of agent, filed a lawsuit alleging he was fired because he had a Pride flag draped near his desk. "I knew I was on a list," he told CBS News' @MacFarlaneNews. "There was fear after the administration came in that they were going to start looking at all of our personnel files, where some of us did self-identify our sexual orientation, some people did identify as trans. So there was fear early on that DOGE was going to collect this and they were going to curate a list and get rid of 'the undesirables.'"

Government employees represent the government and should not display their loyalty to a movement or a cause while at work. But like most on the left, they think their ideology is more important than the institutions they serve.

He was a DEI "intelligence specialist" who got the Pride flag as an award for increasing the FBIs "diversity".

He apparently got bored with this, and decided to become an "special agent".

The New York Times referred to him as a "trainee" - I guess he's one of those sixteen-year trainees.

Posted by: qdpsteve at November 21, 2025 06:40 PM (cQHrm)

55 We need to bring back the old strategy of making non-workers show up at an office in city hall and wait around all day.

It used to be that you had to go to the office to get your unemployment check. That is essentially what SNAP is, a permanent unemployment check.

Make them go to an office once a week. Why?
- it gets them out of the house, which is healthy
- it proves they exist, which is necessary
- it shames them to be seen in the office grubbing for tax dollars (maybe)
- Most important - If they can not go they can get an exemption, but that only applies if they can not go because they are disabled. OK, so there will be a lot of fraud there too, but if they are seen in public anywhere else (except Dr.), that will show they are not disabled and could be working. This will go a long way to prove the rampant fraud.

Wait till they find out about SS disability!

I had one coworker who was trying his damnedest to get fired (the boss was an idiot, so he didn't) but he came in one day and finally quit. His wife got SSDI and he was set for life. She had a bad back. They were going to Tahoe on a ski vacation to celebrate. She was an avid skier.

70 It is important to clarify that 20+ states out of the 50 did not comply with the federal government's request for information on SNAP beneficiaries, likely because they are trying to hide how many illegal aliens are illicitly receiving food stamps.
______________________________

Why is this a "REQUEST"? OBLIGATION should be written into the law. To received Federal funds for SNAP, a state must provide accurate, timely, and continuous documentation to allow proper oversight and accountability. Failure to do so results in a default of said funds.

If you want a clue how to better disguise your posts instead of coming under a new handle do this:

1. Don't use the word "shit" at least twice in every post.

2. Don't use a rather aggrandizing handle of more than two words such as ""Call it what it is " as if nobody else knows the score but you

3. And throw us all completely off by mentioning two -yes two things -you actually like and are not disappointed in and which make you happy.

101 CBS "News" sad story: A gay FBI agent who displayed his Pride flag at work in defiance of FBI rules says he's been unjustly fired, and CBS "News" agrees!

-----------------

[Have told this story before:]

Working in The Bay Area in the late 90s -- #Woke before #Woke was cool -- and had a gay coworker.

Nice guy, and we had some epic verbal & email political debates as he was a Commie, natch.

One day he hangs a Gay Pride flag outside and next to his office door. So the next day, I hang an American flag outside and next to my office door -- knowing it would explode the heads of other Lefty Hate America First coworkers, including the female VP I worked for.

Sure enough, I was called into HR for displaying my "hateful" and "imperialistic" American flag -- and told I must remove it immediately (as it was "offensive to" some of my coworkers).

I simply said: "I'll take down my flag when you make the Gay dude take down his (knowing that they would never dare ask for THAT!) ... and walked out.

I think his plan was SSDI plus section 8 plus SNAP, etc. I don't know. He was making good money as an admin in the Silicon Valley and did almost no work.

Her disability was non-existent and he admitted as much. She claimed it was back injury and could barely walk.

When I lived in NJ I knew many like that with "back injuries." Several were from the amnesty in the 80s. Two were international -- they would go back home at least 6 months a year, to work, but were always in USA to get their disability checks.

I would run into boys from his troop years later and they ?still referred to him as Mr H because that what they called him as their troop leader.

142 ShainS, did you get to keep your flag up? What happened after that?

Posted by: qdpsteve at November 21, 2025 07:01 PM (cQHrm)

--------------

Yes I did -- and I was the victim of a lot of passive-aggressive sabotage from my group.

Fortunately, I was the star of the team (we were doing Software Tech Support and, unlike the others, I was a former software developer) and they needed me more than I needed them.

I did eventually quit after another incident when I got hauled before HR again owing to an infantile coworker who needed a safe space because I made a joke about "packing heat."

[Working in downtown Oakland, I did actually carry a handgun in my briefcase as you couldn't get concealed carry permits -- and I'd been spit on a couple of times by racist black dudes downtown.]

Yes. They need to be time limited and employers should receive a tax incentive to hire the broke in mind and body to get them off the tax payer's dime. I remember years ago it was a thing to get the physical and mentally handicapped into the work place. Of course, those in an iron lung should be excused or maybe just do call center type work as there has to be some wiggle room.

Have been my own boss for 13 years as an Independent Contractor -- that's the way to go.

I've been telling young people for years to forego college, learn a blue collar trade, and eventually become your own boss and/or create your own business.

Hope you're career has been more rewarding -- you mentioned maybe eventually retiring to AZ? We're up north a mile high in Prescott and love it (but housing is quite expensive). Get five seasons (the 5th is monsoon rains usually between Independence and Labor Days).

Even worse if you are in an iron lung as someone would have to agree with you. A man has been in one for fifty years or so. He may have died. I saw something in the last year at any rate. Wrong! 71yrs...Paul Alexander and he did die (so I got that right).

I can promise you I would not be cheerful like the woman I read about in 5th grade.
