Wall Street Journal: Yes, Trump Kicked Epstein Out of Mar-a-Lago in 2003 After Being Informed Epstein Pressured an 18-Year-Old Spa Worker for Sex

But-- but-- But Muh Trump.

Via Ed Morrissey:

Jeffrey Epstein wasn't just a frequent visitor to Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The club was also sending spa employees--usually young women--to Epstein's nearby mansion for massages, manicures and other spa services, according to former Mar-a-Lago and Epstein employees. ...

The spa occasionally provided house calls for members. Epstein wasn't a dues-paying member of the club, but Trump told staff to treat him like one, the employees said. Epstein had an account at the spa where his companion, Ghislaine Maxwell, booked appointments on his behalf.

They came to a halt in 2003, after an 18-year-old beautician returned to the club from a house call to Epstein and reported to managers that he had pressured her for sex, former employees said.

A manager sent Trump a fax relaying the employee's allegations and urged him to ban Epstein, some of the former employees said. Trump told the manager it was a good letter and said to kick him out.


Morrissey adds:

The WSJ notes that Mar-a-Lago aestheticians and spa workers had begun warning each other about Epstein previous to this incident. However, all of these employees were "typically licensed," which means they were adults. The young woman in this incident was 18 years old at the time it occurred. Furthermore, this appears to be the first time that the employees raised this concern all the way to Trump himself. As soon as Trump heard about it, he acted to cut off Epstein's access to Mar-a-Lago and stopped socializing with him at the same time.

Somali Pirate: Racist Thieves Broke Into Our Very Legitimate Day Care and Stole All the Enrollment and Employee Records That Would Prove This Is a Legitimate Business and Not a Pirate Plundering Operation

Drat -- the racist thieves stole the very documents that would allow the pirates to clear their good piratical names!

Oh, and he slips it in that they tore off checks from the "day care's" checkbook, too. Not the whole checkbook, for some reason, but just certain checks.

So if you find any checks from the company going to pay for obviously-personal luxuries -- well, that must have been the racist thieves.

So convenient of the thieves.

He also -- get this -- claims to be a victim of racism, you Racists.

A Somali-run day care in Minneapolis is claiming somebody broke in and stole "important documents" as the national spotlight shines on the unfolding multibillion-dollar fraud scandal involving Minnesota human services.

Nasrulah Mohamed, manager of Nakomis Day Care Center, told reporters that a suspect entered through the kitchen at the rear of the facility, damaging a wall and breaking into the building's office, sometime on Tuesday.

He said the alleged prowler stole "important documentation" including children's enrollment information, employee documentation and checkbooks.

Nasrulah Mohamed, manager of Nakomis Day Care Center, at a press conference with other individuals, one of whom holds a sign that reads "Racism Has NO Place in Childcare". ]

Absolute LOL.

Look at that uggo Karen holding her Racists Repent! sign.

Mohamed blamed last week's viral video by YouTuber Nick Shirley, in which he visited nearly a dozen day care facilities looking for evidence of fraud, for the incident.

"This is devastating news, and we don't know why this is targeting our Somali community as one video made by a specific individual made this all happen," he said, claiming they've received "hateful" and "threatening" messages over the last several days.

"This is frightening and exhausting," he said, calling Shirley's reporting "false."

Nakomis Day Care Center was not one of the facilities featured in Shirley's video, which has been viewed over 110 million times.


At least $1 billion in fraud has been uncovered by authorities in Minneapolis so far, including fraudulent food, housing and child care payments, with warnings from the US Attorney's Office that the true figure could be as high as $9 billion.

Ninety-two people have been arrested in connection with the scheme, 80 of whom are Somali immigrants.

On Tuesday night, the US Department of Health and Human Services announced it was freezing all child care payments to Minnesota -- which totaled $185 million in 2025 alone -- unless proof is provided that the payments are legitimate.


This was widely predicted by people who also don't have access to my time machine:


Tucker Carlson has nothing to say about this -- I guess it's more anti-Muslim "hate" stirred up by the Jews -- but Trump has commented:

somalibreakinstoletheevidence.jpg

The media is investigating.

I mean, they're investigating Nick Shirley and relying on claims by Tim Walz's corrupt government that everything's kosher.

Whoops, shouldn't have said kosher. That will just encourage Tucker Carlson and his Nazi family of scumbags.

"Oh, well, I guess all is fine. Go on and continue."

I mean...nah. I suspect the scale within each daycare is massive. Like, they're essentially just homes for the second to fifth wives of individual men, getting paid to take care of their own kids while they say that each has 40 enrollees.

A concentrated investigation of like three at once will show all three unable to fill their rosters ever.

The Somali population in Minnesota and across America is about to decline rapidly.

And suddenly Minnesota Democrats will be all, "Why do you act like I spoke Somali and dressed up in a hijab? I never did that."

36 The media playing cover is just trying to capture the narrative, but that's not going to affect the investigations already started by the Trump DOJ.

Remember, this whole news cycle started because of a news conference by the MN USA detailing some indictments while saying it was the tip of the iceberg.

Now you have midwit, unimpressive, spineless GOP congressmen in leadership calling for denaturalization.

CBS will convince its loyal viewers, but that's all they'll do. The Trump DOJ, DHS, and ICE will be deeply unconvinced.

95 Somebody on X made the interesting point that we should be banning immigration from all places, like Somalia, where cousin marriage is the norm, since that is completely incompatible with Western society.

God knows there is enough nepotism in the West, but nevertheless there is an expectation that you will do business with people who you aren't related to, that you will hire people that you aren't related to, and you will generally interact in society mostly with people who you aren't related to.

That is absolutely not the case in a clan-based society - you hire only people that you are related to, you try to do business only with people that you are related to, and you have as little as possible to do with people that you aren't related to.

It's a completely different (and inferior) social construct, but it is fundamentally incompatible with Western culture.

You can joke about it, but claiming that information was stolen on children attending a daycare is serious business for law enforcement. Especially since only one purpose presents itself if it really happened. They just invited a significant increase of law enforcement resources to the party while trying to end their current exposure. Of course they just staged it and made it up...but I don't think what results will improve their situation.

While a portion of the laundered money goes to corrupting elections, much of it underwrites the maintenance of condos, private jets, chauffeured limos, yachts and other amenities enjoyed by "Citizens of The World". Staff, fuel, maintenance and booze costs money.

There is a reason why prime real-estate in the major cities doesn't seem to be effected by the anti-wealth policies. The elites have demanding tastes and exposing the fraud hurts them.

220 As independent journalists continue digging into alleged fraud inside Washington’s daycare subsidy system, Democratic State Senator Lisa Wellman has pre-filed legislation that critics say could make it significantly harder for the public to verify whether taxpayer-funded childcare operations even exist.

The proposal, Senate Bill 5926, was pre-filed on December 22 and expands public records exemptions for childcare providers, shielding a broad range of identifying information from disclosure. Supporters frame the measure as a safety tool designed to protect providers from harassment or threats. Opponents argue it is arriving just as journalists are using public data to uncover suspicious daycare listings tied to large sums of taxpayer funding.

End of it, he lost, many castles got blown up real good, many nobles lost their fortunes, and Charles lost his head.

257 Interesting - In Minnesota, most daycare workers are private employees (working for centers, homes, etc.), but a specific group of in-home, license-exempt family child care providers are legally treated as public/state employees for collective bargaining purposes only, allowing them to unionize under PELRA (Minnesota Public Employee Labor Relations Act). So, it depends on the type of care: most aren't public, but those who qualify under a specific state law are designated as such for union rights.

271 You can joke about it, but claiming that information was stolen on children attending a daycare is serious business for law enforcement. Especially since only one purpose presents itself if it really happened. They just invited a significant increase of law enforcement resources to the party while trying to end their current exposure.

It isn't just somalis. Also Afghans, Syrians, and plenty of others. It is happening in every western country. They are all trying to emasculate western men at the same time as importing as many military age men from the third world as they possibly can. The goal is pretty obvious - all over history one can see that male lines are completely wiped out by invaders, while the womens' lines stay intact, because they are the spoils.

More Daycare Fraud Suspected, This Time in Washington

Via John Sexton, a citizen journalist went to the listed address of a "daycare" that's received $210,000 in federal funding this year.

But no one sees any kids enter the place, and the people at the address refuse to answer the door.

Another suspicious "daycare:"

He says that even if this fake day care really is a day care, it's only permitted to "care" for three children -- and for caring for three children, it's been paid $800,000 since 2023.

Babysittlers' club is making a mint.

Washington State's AG says he'll launch an investigation -- into the people asking if these really are daycares.

For "harassment."

And "hate."

Attorney General Nick Brown
@AGOWA

My office has received outreach from members of the Somali community after reports of home-based daycare providers being harassed and accused of fraud with little to no fact-checking.

We are in touch with the state Department of Children, Youth, and Families regarding the claims being pushed online and the harassment reported by daycare providers.


Showing up on someone's porch, threatening, or harassing them isn't an investigation. Neither is filming minors who may be in the home. This is unsafe and potentially dangerous behavior. I encourage anyone experiencing threats or harassment to either contact local law enforcement or our office's Hate Crimes & Bias Incident Hotline at 1-855-225-1010 or http://atg.wa.gov/report-hate.

If you think fraud is happening, there are appropriate measures to report and investigate. Go to DCYF's website to learn more. And where fraud is substantiated and verified by law enforcement and regulatory agencies, people should be held accountable.

Andy Ngo
@MrAndyNgo

2h

It is the duty of journalists to visit taxpayer-funded nonprofits and businesses to investigate where you have failed. The journalists have documented their visits on camera and there is no harassing or threatening behavior. You are trying to threaten journalists by telling people to call police with false allegations of a hate crime.


Exactly. Her point is that as this level of fraud and plundering is permitted by society -- Democrats, I mean -- the pillars that hold up the country -- hard-working, honest, law-abiding Americans -- stop holding the country up.

No one wants to feel like an abused, cucked loser for doing the right thing. If the right thing is not rewarded, and the wrong thing is not punished, we'll all start doing the wrong thing, and Atlas will shrug off his burden.

And society will collapse.

Any entity of any size should have THREE levels of audit/review. The first is internal audit. The organization should have trained personnel who review records and compare the records with how policy, procedure, and internal controls say those records are to be maintained. Then there should be an accounting firm that comes in and reviews enough of the transactional records to determine whether the organizations books are reliable and accurate. Finally, there should be an outside agency that reviews the organization (unless the entity is fortunate enough to do business in a unregulated field).

Our country's leadership now largely pretends they don't understand any of this "mystical" three levels of review stuff, and shrug their shoulders when its found out that massive theft and corruption abounds.

"In landmark sentence, Feeding Our Future scheme leader sentenced to 28 years in prison"

First two paragraphs:

"MINNEAPOLIS – Today, United States District Judge Nancy E. Brasel sentenced Abdiaziz Shafii Farah, to 28 years in prison followed by 3 years of supervised release for his role in a $300 million fraud scheme that exploited a federally funded child nutrition program during the COVID-19 pandemic, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson. Farah was also ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $47,920,514.

Farah played a leading and role in the Feeding Our Future case, the largest Covid-19 fraud scheme in the United States. According to public documents, Farah and his co-defendants stole more than $47 million in program funds by claiming to serve 18 million meals to kids at more than 30 food distribution sites. In June 2024, after a seven-week trial before Judge Brasel, a federal jury convicted Farah of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit federal programs bribery, false statements in a passport application, conspiracy to commit money laundering, ..."

40 And where fraud is substantiated and verified by law enforcement and regulatory agencies, people should be held accountable.

A lot of weasel language there:

"verified by law enforcement and regulatory agencies"

Apparently these agencies don't do audits nor does LE or RAs investigate.

"verified" - I'm going to need a definition for that.

"...people should be..." We agree that they should, but you disagree that they will be held accountable.

"...held accountable..." Yeah, we know your definition of that - find and blame the nearest Republican. Use your imagination based on your own projection.

You are thinking of the European revolutions of 1848.
The consensus was later that it was mostly a throwing off of the decision how Europe would be run post Napoleonic wars, as adjudicated by Clemmens von Metternich in Austria, but even more it was an economic stress continent wide that made "home rule" and nationalism a better bet than being under the sway of the French, Austrians or some elector who's interests were in some other imperial capitol.

My sisters, who were also kids still, went and cleaned up people's houses for money. But then after a while my mom got a job babysitting/daycare at home and could stay with me the newborn and my sisters didn't have to go work. And that's what she did till she was in her 50s. At one point I did her taxes and knew how much she made. She never cleared more than 25k a year.

This assumes that it is a legitimate organization, which everyone knows these day cares are not. Organization doesn't want to be on the up-and-up, and the funders don't want it to be discovered, thus, no audits.

Even when they do audit, it's too important to The Powers That Be to keep the grift going, so the funding is granted despite failed audits.

NoVA is infested with 'Rich Diversity', so I'm just going to assume fraud is baked in the sharia. With the change of regime in Richmond, I suspect the fraud will increase to astronomical range. The Coven of Karens will demand it, for our own good.

See Obama closing national parks including the Mall in DC, every local jurisdiction that threatens layoffs of fire and police rather than cut their budgets, and so on.

1st Amendment was drafted in part because of the celebrated colonial trial of Peter Zenger. Zenger noted that the PA royal governor was spending outrageous amounts for his personal life and charging taxpayers to do it. Zenger was charged with seditious libel and a jury freed him despite the royal government's displeasure. Zenger's defense is that he told the truth which he did. Seditious libel used by the Crown to prosecute people for upsetting the peasants even if the allegations printed were true. Theory was it would undermine public support for the Crown.

160 I saw this on X: "Norway Shrugged"

Norway's punitive taxes are driving innovators and startups away.

"Norway imposes a wealth tax that taxes unrealized gains at approximately 1% annually. Calculated on the full market value for publicly traded assets and the book value of private companies. On New Year's Eve, whatever your net worth - including illiquid assets - is subject to this tax. It doesn't matter if you're running a loss-making startup with no cash flow, if your investments have tanked after the valuation date, or even if your company has gone bankrupt—you still owe the tax.

"This creates a perverse scenario where business owners must extract dividends or sell shares every year just to cover their tax bill. With dividend and capital gains taxes at around 38%, you need to withdraw approximately 1.6 million NOK to pay a 1 million NOK wealth tax bill. You're essentially paying taxes to pay taxes, draining capital from your business without any personal financial gain."

Norway also added an "exit tax" so the smart move is to leave before you get rich.

177 The governing class realized that people will revolt over paying taxes but NOT over spending even if it is straight up theft.

So the answer? Print dollars and steal them.

Your taxes are the same but they still took half of your wealth and the LIVs won't vote you out for it

The Powers That Be would be very satisfied if the public opprobrium was strictly limited to the Somalis. Easy to ringfence criticism by calling the critics racist, and there would be more than enough LIVs to buy their explanation and let the story die in time. BTW, I give this story one month and it will be forgotten, in light of the next grotesquerie that will inevitably come out.

Obviously, these Somalis had help from government Sherpas that received kickbacks and votes from the scheme. THESE are the people who need to go to jail most of all. If Bondi and Patel focus on them, this is what will get Trump past the midterms unscathed. That, and everything else Trump did this year that will begin to pay dividends in 2026.

==========
Like election fraud and election rigging, I have come to the conclusion that far too many GOP officeholders are doing the corruption thing too, just not a crudely.

Only thing that makes sense why far too many of them act the way that they do.

The elite in this country have a vast network formed in politics and elite colleges that essentially view the rest of the population as unworthy peasants. These elites justify their legal and illegal theft from the rest of us because they are smarter, kinder, wiser, and better people all around than the regular folks. Since they are saints by their own definition, then taking their opportunities when they come is simply justified as foresight.

I think there are also reciprocal rewards in all these sort of cases. As a % of the fraud found. Some investigative minded persons could make a whole livelihood going around and identifying election and welfare fraud. You up those %, make them 20-30 % and people will turn on their own relatives.

When I worked at UPS the reward for turning in cow-orkers who were stealing was well over 100% value. Many thousands. And the system worked great. Anyone would report. Because for a college aged kid the reward money was very significant.

270 They are also transferring money interstate to other democrat candidates and get out the vote operations. This is how the democrats are funding their party.

That is one component, another one was given to us as Projection when Klaus of the WEF told us that we would own nothing and like it.

For a lot of WEF types and their minions this is true. These People Of The World do not have a real income but have access to private jets, penthouse condos, luxury yachts and seats at prominent venues that are largely underwritten by the Blob that has a myriad of holding companies, shell organizations and LLCs.

If you are a Made Man in the globalist party and want to go to Paris then NYC, you are able to use the assets of these various entities that are largely funded by NGO stolen funds.

Also, as most cartels, laundering money into holding equities and bonds is often a vector of the stolen money. I'm sure a huge chunk of the 4-20 trillion stolen over the years is a large reason why the stock market is overpriced.

They aren't storing the trillions in a vault like Scrooge McDuck.

Yep. I did. As I said, the only reason that the GOP is silent on a lot of fraud whether elections or other is that they too are engaging in it.

GOP in the House did not allow Ethics investigation of Omar because the Dems would have demanded an Ethics investigation of Cory Mills, a FL GOP congress critter accused of sexual assault (DC cops called) and threatening to release revenge pron from another person in Florida when they had a breakup resulting in a protective order for the victim in FL.

When the government takes in money in any way, it goes back to the same thin air it came from in the first place.

Five Billion in "Questionable" Rental Assistance Went to Dead Tennants, Illegal Aliens Under Biden

No wonder they loved covid so much.

While we were locked down, they were living the high life, on our dime.

We just saw new allegations that illegals and Somali pirates scammed the covid-era loans for businesses program.


$5B in 'questionable' rental assistance under Biden revealed -- including to thousands of 'deceased tenants' and non-citizens: HUD report

WASHINGTON -- A US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) report found more than $5 billion in taxpayer funds went to "questionable" rental assistance recipients during the final year of the Biden administration -- including around 30,000 "deceased tenants" and "thousands" of potential non-citizens, The Post can reveal.

HUD officials said a "large concentration" of the suspicious payments went to New York, California and Washington, DC, with dead recipients getting at least some funds in all 50 states -- in what federal officials are calling widespread abuse of taxpayers' dollars under the Biden administration.

"A massive abuse of taxpayer dollars not only occurred under President [Joe] Biden's watch, but was effectively incentivized by his administration's failure to implement strong financial controls resulting in billions worth of potential improper payments," HUD Secretary Scott Turner said in a statement.


...

HUD's Office of the Chief Financial Officer uncovered $5.8 billion of the "questionable" payments out of nearly $50 billion in total federal rental assistance to public housing authorities, contractors, landlords and other non-federal entities in fiscal year 2024, the 183-page report disclosed.

The around 11% of taxpayer dollars from HUD went to more than 200,000 possibly ineligible tenants -- of whom 29,715 (around 14%) were dead, 9,472 (4%) were non-citizens and 165,393 (82%) were receiving sums that exceeded the threshold for assistance in their geographic region, particularly in New Orleans and other large metro areas.

The HUD programs are designed to help low-income residents who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford shelter -- and the possible grift means those truly in need could have been left out in the cold.

HUD officials faulted the Biden administration for a directive "to push funding out the door with minimal oversight" as well as rent assistance programs placing "substantial trust and responsibility in these non-federal entities ... to accurately assess tenant eligibility."

Now, HUD will have to reach out to the public housing authorities and other entities to confirm the extent of the fraud -- and either pause or revoke funding. Officials will also make criminal referrals when warranted.

"HUD is implementing processes and procedures to revoke or pause funding as part of its efforts to hold bad actors accountable," one official said. "Additionally, the Department could make criminal referrals and exercise other enforcement actions once it has confirmed fraud occurred."

We're still funding this?

And if you think Minnesota fraud is a scandal: Get a load of the massive industrial-scale looting in California.

A fresh 92-page bombshell from the California State Auditor lays it all out.

"This latest report was issued by the state auditor, and that's a nonpartisan position; that state auditor now puts eight state agencies on the high-risk list of agencies to watch out for, for things like fraud and mismanagement as well as waste," Newsmax correspondent Heather Myers revealed last week. "Here's a look at that 92-page report. Newly added to the high-risk list is California's food stamp program. If the state doesn't get the improper payments under control, it could cost an extra $2.5 billion. Also on there is the Department of Finance, which was tasked with giving out COVID relief funds. Critics say $32 billion of that was taken by fraudsters. Then there are infrastructure issues like California's deteriorating dams, and also the high-speed train that's already cost taxpayers 18 billion without a single section of track complete."

But wait, there's more!

"Other reports cite $24 billion spent on the homeless issue that critics claim the state lost track of. More recently, there's a report that says California cell phone users paid a surcharge for years to upgrade the state's 911 system," she added.

Tallied all up, California taxpayers lost $70 billion to fraud.

32 Covid was a trillion-dollar forced wealth transfer from taxpayers to Democrap constituencies. I'm sure GOP operatives got their cut, but the vast majority -- probably 80% -- went to Democraps.

There has never been in the history of the world a fraud and scam as massive as covid. Trillions of dollars was stolen. There was a reason these people fought like caged rabid komodo dragons jacked on cocaine to keep covid a never-ending crisis.

Remember the old saying? "If you owe a bank $100, that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem." The problem is similar here. If fraudsters steal $100, that's their problem. If they steal $100B, that's our problem.

True Detective Season 2 came out in 2015 and the backdrop was organized crime using the high speed rail initiative as a way to steal a bunch of money

But the show was entirely too optimistic. Yes they had the "bad guys" winning but still had some actual rail built within a few years not as really happened having ALL the money be stolen

Yes. In particular, it harms people who lived below their means in order to save for the future (not Democrats) and people who're trying to improve themselves through work - even though they don't yet qualify for more than low wages (frequently not Democrats).

It makes the spendthrifts go deeper into debt for everything and ensures that the proles will not rise above their station.

74 Can you say RICO?

It was designed to deal with criminal enterprises that had 'lots of buffers.' It reaches beyond a simple conspiracy case because it covers bad people doing bad things without necessarily knowing the greater RICO scheme, just that they knew their part in it.

To bring a RICO case you need two or more RICO predicates. 'Murder for hire' is one, as you'd expect
But another is "Bringing in, aiding or assisting aliens in illegally entering the country (if the action was for financial gain);"

If you have the right facts, RICO is a killer.

We're seeing more and more of these potential RICO cases popping up through leaks and exposures. This isn't an accident. Trump is settling all family business.

In Springfield OH, never mind the dead and eaten pets, Gov. DeWine's pet Haitians received rental assistance. So naturally rents went up, the Haitians didn't care, the property owners benefitted. The only people hurt were the lower income Springfield residents who couldn't afford the rent increases. But who cares about them, they had it coming for being taxpaying descendants of colonizers, and probably white supremacists to boot.

95 A point of order:

It takes time to build fraud cases. You need multiple witnesses describing intent around signatures on forms, that sort of thing. It's very different from, "That guy in the video robbing a store is obviously this guy because we can see his face."

Also, Senate Democrats have slow walked floor business to the degree that more floor votes have happened this year than any year. Why? Because they're denying unanimous consent on lower appointment posts, like US Attorneys.

The MN USA who started the news cycle about MN fraud? He was only appointed in August. There was some stuff from the Biden admin done on this front, but it was honestly very minor, focusing on 1 of 14 welfare programs targeted.

This MN USA has said that he's looking into all 14 and the first indictments he filed a couple of weeks ago were the first in a large wave.

For extra credit the Democrats made a hard run at destabilizing the culture by importing as many 3rd world people as possible who will never assimilate and to keep them compliant paid them off with public money.

And then there is the rigging of the electoral system so all accountability went out the door; this resulted in Biden getting elected and went along ways down the path of ensuring the Democrats would have permanent control of the nation. They still may succeed giving us a Marxist utopian state.

I wonder if there have been some deep-seeded changes in the voting patterns of certain demos in America in response to the Biden administration.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison

That happened in Trump's first term. Trump was the only president in history running for a second term that received more votes than in the first term and still lost. Trump gained about 11 million votes between 2016 (63 million) and 2020 (74 million). And about another 3 million in 2024 on top of that (77 million). So roughly 25 percent increase from 2016.

Killary's baseline was 65 million, Biden got 81 million*, and Kumala got 75 million ballots.

My guess is that Dem baseline fraud of paid ballot harvested, non existent, counting room fraud, and illegal votes tallied between 10-20 million (baseline legal D vote was probably about 55-60 million give or take).

I'm willing to bet that a significant amount of Federal funding for specific items was funneled into other totally unrelated programs (which, of course, is illegal), and that's the primary reason that a certain collection of blue states like California are refusing to open their books.

During the Covid nonsense, legitimate unemployed couldn't get through to file for unemployment, but the thieves could.

For all the taxes and fees the CA government charges, we don't have much service to show for it. The thieves do, though.

The MN USA who started the news cycle about MN fraud? He was only appointed in August. There was some stuff from the Biden admin done on this front, but it was honestly very minor, focusing on 1 of 14 welfare programs targeted.

This MN USA has said that he's looking into all 14 and the first indictments he filed a couple of weeks ago were the first in a large wave.

157 32 Covid was a trillion-dollar forced wealth transfer from taxpayers to Democrap constituencies. I'm sure GOP operatives got their cut, but the vast majority -- probably 80% -- went to Democraps.

There has never been in the history of the world a fraud and scam as massive as covid. Trillions of dollars was stolen. There was a reason these people fought like caged rabid komodo dragons jacked on cocaine to keep covid a never-ending crisis.

Remember the old saying? "If you owe a bank $100, that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem." The problem is similar here. If fraudsters steal $100, that's their problem. If they steal $100B, that's our problem.

Obama got about 70 million votes in 2008. 66 million in 2012. My guess is the 2008 vote had less formal cheating (typical ingrained type in places like Detroit, Atlanta, etc.) because it simply was not needed. People were tired of the Bushes and some thought that Obama would be a better president than McCain. McCain got 60 million votes. Romney did only slightly better than McCain getting nearly 61 million votes. That is where I think fraud started to kick in as my guess is Obama benefitted from about 4-6m in fraudulent votes in key states for 2012. Florida and Ohio among a few other states like PA, VA, IA, were likely tipped by fraud. Romney probably would have won the electoral college if not the popular vote.

THIS is where welfare is going and yours is probably less. YOU Americans are not the priority!

Not saying that generational welfare is ok (note: Katrina response if you need an example: people hacking through roofs with an ax to wait for help vs helping themselves). These are the LBJ welfare generations.

At least they are legal Americans, being raised by grandmothers because for generations large % of baby daddies vanish. Pregnancy and drug addiction and here we are...and it's not new in inner cities. Few make it out, like Dr. Ben Carson. But some do and fix their own generational welfare and lack of male figures.

What is new is the complete hand out of billions to illegals, arriving from Somolia and Mexico and other places that are here for the freebies.

True, but you also have to prove that the money was collected for fraudulent kids. I'm sure there are sign-in sheets with names and attendance, and I'll bet the names are legit. How do you prove that Kid X wasn't at the center on February 21, 2023?

The parents of the fake kids were probably getting a cut. They will line up to testify that "yes, my kids were enrolled here and we went almost every day. Fraud? What fraud?"

See how the "Learing Center" was suddenly flooded with parents and kids the day after the story broke? They are ALL in on the fraud.

A lot of the final refining in Gold is done in Switzerland, and a lot of the semirefined ore comes in from "conflict" zones like Sudan and Congo, routed through the UAE to hide the source.
This is one of the reasons no one really seems to be able to stop the conflicts in these places -- It would mean having to pay market prices for the ore, instead of the cut rate from groups that don't actually own it and are willing to sell it cheap to keep fighting.
If these conflicts go away, it will seriously impair the Euros and the ME rats who keep things boiling to keep the money rolling in.

Silly me. I thought that was what SSI was for.

My pet peeve is that welfare moms get SNAP (used to be food stamps), and then the kids get fed free at school by another program, but the SNAP doesn't get docked for the cost of the school feeding.

A few years ago, someone in the Pennsylvania government totaled up all the benefits that a single mother of two got, and came to the conclusion that she would have to make about $35 an hour just to break even. I'm sure the numbers are all a lot larger now.

A Minnesota judge has found herself at the center of a political firestorm after overturning a guilty verdict in a case involving misappropriated Medicaid funds.

In November, Hennepin County Judge Sarah West granted a judgement of acquittal for Abdifatah Abdulkadir Yusuf, overturning a unanimous jury verdict which had convicted him on the charges connected to a company he owned, and which had been involved in the $7.2 million fraud case. In her order, West said the original conviction had relied “substantially on circumstantial evidence.”

335 If 'welfare' were overhauled and the aid was in the form of dorms, with a card for a cafeteria program, free homework assistance for the kids etc and no funds direct to the recipients for them to waste on booze, drugs, or even junk food the # of people on welfare would start declining by at least a factor of two every generation.

But some petty bureaucrats would lose power and jobs, and the pols would lose some grifting so it can never happen.

402 "Allowing any agency to audit/police it's own malfeasance is ludicrous."
-------

Actually, any entity of any size should have THREE levels of audit/review. The first is internal audit. The organization should have trained personnel who review records and compare the records with how policy, procedure, and internal controls say those records are to be maintained. Then there should be an accounting firm that comes in and reviews enough of the transactional records to determine whether the organizations books are reliable and accurate. Finally, there should be an outside agency that reviews the organization (unless the entity is fortunate enough to do business in a unregulated field).

Our country's leadership now largely pretends they don't understand any of this "mystical" three levels of review stuff, and shrug their shoulders when its found out that massive theft and corruption abounds.

"In landmark sentence, Feeding Our Future scheme leader sentenced to 28 years in prison"

First two paragraphs:

"MINNEAPOLIS – Today, United States District Judge Nancy E. Brasel sentenced Abdiaziz Shafii Farah, to 28 years in prison followed by 3 years of supervised release for his role in a $300 million fraud scheme that exploited a federally funded child nutrition program during the COVID-19 pandemic, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson. Farah was also ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $47,920,514.

Farah played a leading and role in the Feeding Our Future case, the largest Covid-19 fraud scheme in the United States. According to public documents, Farah and his co-defendants stole more than $47 million in program funds by claiming to serve 18 million meals to kids at more than 30 food distribution sites. In June 2024, after a seven-week trial before Judge Brasel, a federal jury convicted Farah of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit federal programs bribery, false statements in a passport application, conspiracy to commit money laundering, ..."

420 Walz is a freakin idiot. He would have been smarter to imply that he would cooperate and (of course) the GOP would have taken him at his word, this stalling the process as the GOP resorts to an "invitation" instead of a subpoena.

Then, a subpoena would have been issue, possibly, if the GOP sees it as a benefit to their organization, but if the issue had blown over, they would be less inclined to do so.

Now, but saying he won't cooperate we go right to the subpoena while issue is still hot and beneficial to the GOPest. And non-compliance means Criminal Contempt, Inherent Contempt (rare), and Civil Enforcement.... up to $100,000 fines, court costs and potentially a year in jail.

Tucker Carlson: No American Has Been Killed By Muslims... Since 9/11; Anti-Muslim "Hate" Is an Op by the Jews

Good. The coward is getting a little more courageous. He feels less need to pretend he doesn't believe these things while having on guests who he encourages to say all the things he believes while pretending to be agnostic on these topics.

Now the coward is finally finding his own voice.

Harrison Berger
@BergerPosts

Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) tells @amconmag that "hate the Muslims," is just another classic Israeli government psyop meant to propagandize Americans to believe that Israel's enemies are their own.

"I don't know anyone in the United States in the last 24 years who's been killed by radical Islam. I do know a lot of people who have killed themselves.

I know people who've died of drug ODs, more than a few. I know people who can't get jobs. None of the boys in my daughter's class can get jobs, none of those white boys can get jobs. They're being destroyed by Adderall and video games and porn.

I see millions of Americans being destroyed, and none of it is at the hands of radical Islam. Is radical Islam more dangerous than OnlyFans? It's not even close. Turning some huge percentage of American women into prostitutes. That's not radical Islam doing that, actually."

A few obvious points:

Leftwingers routinely begin counting deaths after 9/11 when they want to prove that White Supremacists kill more people than Islamic terrorists. Good to see that Tucker Carlson is embracing this "in the last twenty-four (not twenty five!) years" method of counting.

Apparently Tucker doesn't consider the many, many American soldiers killed by ISIS and Al Qaeda to be victims of radical Muslim violence. Or the American civilians captured by ISIS and beheaded on camera.

Oh wait, the did restrict his counting to those killed in the United States. Once again he puts special restrictions on who he will count and who he won't count, like a fucking leftist scumbag propagandist.

But he's definitely ignoring the people murdered by the Fort Hood Islamist psychiatrist. I guess he considers that "workplace violence" not radical Muslim terrorism -- once again, like a fucking leftist scumbag propagandist.

He ignores the people murdered at the Pulse nightclub, the people murdered by the husband-and-wife Islamist terrorist spree killers in California...

The perpetrators, Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, a married couple living in the city of Redlands, targeted a San Bernardino County Department of Public Health training event and Christmas party of about 80 employees in a rented banquet room. Fourteen people were killed and 22 others were seriously injured. Farook was a Muslim and an American-born citizen of Pakistani descent, who worked as a health department employee. Malik was a Muslim and Pakistani-born green card holder. After the shooting, the couple fled in a rented Ford Expedition SUV. Four hours later, police pursued their vehicle and killed them in a shootout, which also left two officers injured.

...etc., etc., etc.

We have at least one or two Muslim terrorist attacks in America every year.

But the left won't admit they're terrorist attacks.

They vow "the motive may never be known."

And now Real Conservative Tucker Carlson joins them.

He's America First, you know.

Obviously Europe sees people slaughtered on the street or train every few months but that's "not in the United States." Are the Jews running ops in Europe, too?

(Of course they are.)


He just pretends all these deaths away. All incidents of workplace violence or shocking, motive-free violence that has nothing at all to do with Islam.

Again, he's adopting the hard leftwing position on all the terrorist murder we've suffered through for twenty five grisly years -- it didn't happen, and if it did happen, you're racist for noticing.

But he's the Real Conservative, huh?

Update: Oh my Lord, I forgot about the Boston Marathon bombing.

I also forgot about the jihadi car attacks -- you know, where a jihadi plows his truck into crowds of people, murdering them. And the media blames them on the vehicle. Vehicle kills 14.

"America First" Tucker blames the vehicle, too.

Eitan Fischberger
@EFischberger

Dec 26

A non-exhaustive list of Islamic terror attacks in the U.S. over the last 25 years:

🔸 Fort Hood shooting -- November 5, 2009 -- 13 killed

🔸 Little Rock recruiting office shooting --June 1, 2009 -- 1 killed

🔸 Boston Marathon bombing -- April 15, 2013 -- 3 killed

🔸 Chattanooga military recruiting center attack -- July 16, 2015 -- 5 killed

🔸 San Bernardino terrorist attack -- December 2, 2015 -- 14 killed

🔸 Pulse nightclub massacre -- June 12, 2016 -- 49 killed

🔸 New York City ISIS truck attack -- October 31, 2017 -- 8 killed

🔸 New Orleans ISIS truck attack -- January 1, 2025 -- 14 killed

🔸 Boulder, Colorado firebombing attack -- June 1, 2025 -- 1 killed

As many have noticed, the so-called "America First" lunatics have said N O T H I N G about the Somali looting of the American treasury. Including Tucker Carlson.

Because criticizing foreign invaders would be "anti-Muslim hate" and would distract us from the Real Enemy, the Jews.

This impression is basically just actual quotes by Tucker Carlson.

Further he uses "I don't know anyone in the United States in the last 24 years who's been killed by radical Islam. I do know a lot of people who have killed themselves." His dick move here is he uses "I don't know" personally of people killed by Muslim savages while leaving the impression that he means I don't know of any people murdered by Muslim savages. I do have to say I don't know personally any of people killed by Muslim savages while at the same time I am fully aware of the atrocities committed by these Muslim savages.

IIRC, the shooter had "SOA" on his freakin' business card: Soldier of Allah.
The Army knew him as Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, MD. But he gave himself another title — “Soldier of Allah.”

Hasan, the man responsible for the Fort Hood massacre that left 13 dead and 29 wounded, printed up business cards he ordered over the Internet that identified him as “SoA” — a jihadi acronym for “Soldier of Allah.”

The latest peek into the warped mind of the Army-trained psychiatrist came as the US Army Criminal Investigation Command charged him yesterday with 13 counts of premeditated murder. . . .

61 Tucker has recently said that he believes that Feudalism is the best form of government, where the people accept that the Ruling Class will make all decisions and run their lives. Not really surprising for someone born into the 2nd wealthiest family in America; he longs to see the rest of us just shut up and do what we’re told. By him.

And he also flew over and bought a house in Qatar, whose rulers, I’m sure, completely agree with his views on government.

131 What’s Behind the Divide Between the MAGA Establishment and the New Far-Right Figures...particularly between the traditional MAGA establishment figures like Ben Shapiro, Vivek Ramaswamy, and JD Vance, and the newer, more extreme far-right voices such as Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, and Tucker Carlson.

These right wing media figureheads either have Russia or Israel for a master, and sometimes that conflicts. You see the schism quite a bit whenever something involves Iran.

I see another group to pay attention to, those are the "Constitutional conservatives" like Ted Cruz, Mark Levin, and (possibly) Mike Pompeo, to name a few.

They realize that relatively soon they will need a new leader as the current one is 79 years old and term-limited. And it will take months/years to sort out.

Similar is happening on the left side- do they want traditional Democrat (Newsom), Democratic Socialist (AOC), or someone else to carry the banner forward?

The most persistent stories have a connection to an attempted assassination of a member of the Saudi Royal Family.

Strangest coincidence of the affair: Kashoggi, the so callled journalist who had helped finance Bin Laden, was an enemy of MBS, and was probably working as an Iranian Spy using his US passport as a cover, was dismembered by the Saudi’s one year to the day after the Las Vegas massacre.

146 My gut feeling was the Jharles Chonson was always a lefty who became an accidental right-wing star after stealing someone else's GIF that showed that Dan Rather's TANG story was fake news.

His tiny little green site exploded in popularity overnight and made him a ton of money, so he rode that wave as a pretend-righty grifter until Obama came along and he could no longer hide his true leftism.

We all used to use that mispelling of his name Jharles Chonson because he obesssively searched for his name online. Don't know if he still does, but he's an obese shut-in so probably.

149 This is weasel speak. He is claiming "I" do not know. He'll claim that he's not ignoring or downplaying any of those attacks, just that he doesn't personally know the victims, whereas he does know victims of other things personally and that's all he was saying to try to emphasize how some things are more important to him. But of course, even if we accept that disingenuous cop out, Tucker fails to answer why we should accept ANY of these things. We don't have to pick and choose which evil things to reject - reject them all.

182 Being a conservative, to me, is about cool judgement and wisdom in public policy. One of the key tenets of that is a rational cost accounting of government spending.

The United States taxpayer has spent trillions of dollars since 2001 on fighting Islamic terror abroad, but all the Islamic terror attacks in the United States have been by committed by people who are here legally.

It's a simple decision matrix: Bomb/Not Bomb and Import/Deport. The first one doesn't really do anything to keep Americans safe. Bomb or Not Bomb, doesn't matter. Islamic terror attacks happen in America because there are Muslims here. As long as you allow them to live here, you will have a certain number of Islamic terror attacks.

The last estimate I saw for the Middle East wars of the past two decades was over 5 trillion dollars. That's money that could have been kept in the taxpayers wallets. Or spent on any variety of government programs that would have made the lives of Americans better.

On March 3, 2006, Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar intentionally hit people with a sport utility vehicle on the campus of the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill to "avenge the deaths of Muslims worldwide" and to "punish" the United States government. While no one was killed in the vehicle-ramming attack, nine people received minor injuries.

Shortly after the attack, he turned himself in and was arrested. He pleaded guilty to nine counts of attempted first-degree murder, and in 2008, was sentenced to 33 years in prison, on two counts of attempted murder.

In one letter, Taheri-azar wrote, "I was aiming to follow in the footsteps of one of my role models, Mohamed Atta, one of the 9/11 hijackers, who obtained a doctorate degree."He told investigators he wanted to "avenge the deaths or murders of Muslims around the world."

There are more than a couple of prominent people who's relationship seems to go beyond the professional to the level of friendship. JD Vance, Don Jr., Shaun Ryan to name a few. They need to call him out, not make excuses for his BS.

216 We're talking about Tucker? He's certainly stayed loyal to the messaging shift, I guess, but has he actually accomplished anything of significance with his change in rhetoric? Cost MAGA candidates elections, or swayed Trump to change policy direction? I've seen what I assume is him performing as promised, but not the major effects I'd think an investor would want to see.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison

In the case of Tucker and Candace Ovens, my guess is latent dislike of Jews which was long a third rail in politics whether Democrat or GOP to express. Now, due to mass migration, changes in black attitudes, and Muzzie propaganda online, hating on Israel (and by inference Jews) has become mainstream. Allows anti Semites to pick and choose Zionism as a codeword which really means religiously observant Jews. That way, they pick up a few secular leftists Jews to join in on the party.

Posted by: Cray Cray at December 31, 2025 12:38 PM

Rush died prior to Tucker Carlson going off the deep end.

Grok:

Yes, Rush Limbaugh and Tucker Carlson were friends and had a positive personal relationship, marked by mutual respect and admiration in conservative media circles.

They knew each other professionally and personally: Limbaugh interviewed Carlson in 2017 (published in the Limbaugh Letter), where he described it as "a pleasure to speak with" Carlson and praised his journalism career. Limbaugh also gave Carlson an affectionate nickname, "Chatsworth Osborne, Jr." (based on a TV character resemblance from Carlson's CNN days), which he repeatedly called playful and fond.

Other indicators include Limbaugh defending Carlson (e.g., against 2018 Antifa harassment) and associates like James Golden (Limbaugh's longtime producer) highlighting similarities between them positively. No evidence suggests animosity; their interactions reflect camaraderie among like-minded conservative figures.

My estimate is that only around 10% of the illegals work and they are basically all on some form of welfare or other.

So this will slightly raise salaries for low skill work and slightly reduce housing costs. BUT the big impact should be a significant reduction in welfare expenditures. I suspect in blue states they'll just move these savings to other grifts though...

The dirty secret in our CJ system is a lot of violent offenses are pled down to low level felonies or misdemeanors. And some are dropped when witnesses suddenly develop amnesia.

Look to the NCVS (National Crime Victimization Survey) as it surveys people directly whether or not police became involved. That particular survey is how Gary Kleck at FSU could estimate Defensive Gun Use at approximately 2 million plus times per year. Most DGUs never involve shooting and often times are never reported to the police.

Fox needs to get rid of the Murdochs as well. They have long played footsie too with certain Arab nations like Saudi Arabia. Saudi prince bin Talal used to have a sizable stake in Fox until he was defenestrated in October 2018 by the new Saudi crown prince and his father.

Murdochs used Gulf State money in order to buy and build their media properties and that affected their presentation of news from the region as well.

A federal lawsuit was sent in yesterday pertaining to US Senator @LindseyGrahamSC and his Treasurer Terry E. Sullivan. For Smurfing $11,090,385 into his campaign committee.

Smurfing is criminally laundering money into a political campaign.

See my tweets below for actions taken against US Senators @johnthune of South Dakota, @SenAmyKlobuchar of Minnesota, @SenatorWarnock of Georgia, @SenMarkKelly of Arizona, @SenatorSlotkin of Michigan and @SenBaldwinGSPP of Wisconsin.

Their campaigns will have to pay back the monies, if the campaigns are empty, federal statute says then the candidate personally has to pay it back.

Then there is the fully open and ongoing federal criminal investigation into Smurfing. 😎

Political Committee C00458828, TEAM GRAHAM INC has accepted 156,039 Smurfed donor transactions totaling $11,090,385 from 18,040 unique Smurfing donors. That these transactions encompass 39.2% of the 397,972 available committee transactions and also being 17.2% of the $64,507,528 full committee transaction valuation.

Few if any domestic viewers are using VPN servers from Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, etc. For the most part, many of those VPN nodes suck at latency and response.

When I played around with VPNs, the fastest responses and lowest latency always came from US servers in the US.

For the most part, no one in India or Pakistan, China, Bangladesh, etc. care if their citizens come on US comment platforms and take a dump. They only care if those commenters are expressing anti government thoughts about their home country.

To be honest, ethnic cleansing Gaza would be about the best thing that could happen. The local populace wants eternal war with Israel, and even after what Israel is doing now they'll start it up again in 10 or 20 years.

Move them somewhere else and perhaps they'll find there is something more to life then killing Jews.

Killing the Somali Pirate Captain was "murder" and "as a Christian" murder is always wrong?

I don't think that word means what you think it does, Cucker. So if your wife and kids are being raped at the point of a nice and you had access to a firearm, you wouldn't shoot the raping bastard(s) because that would be "murder" and murder is always wrong?

402 "Tucker Carlson: No American Has Been Killed By Muslims... Since 9/11"

That's not what he said. He said he doesn't personally know anyone who has been killed by Muslims. Meanwhile, he does know people who have killed themselves, or who have overdosed on drugs, or who are young adults who can't find jobs.

He didn't say no one at all has been killed by Muslims. He said these other things are bigger problems, the implication being why are we still focused on Muslims as such a big problem (the further implication being that Jews manipulate us into doing so; you have that correct and I am glad to see that entering the discourse).

Muslims are a problem too, to be sure. The Jewish lobbying groups that successfully change immigration policy to let them in are the bigger problem.

As a result, schools are overcrowded, prices remain stubborn because of high demand, housing hasn’t budged and gas prices are among the highest in the nation.

There is nothing good about it. It has destroyed entire societies, who were converted by force. That was done on purpose to keep generations following their evil book of lies.

Don't panic amigo. One, COMEX has been neutered. Their price manipulation games won't work anymore. Two, supply issues are real.

Wednesday Morning Rant

Scorecard

With another year in the books, let's see how I did at prognostication at the beginning of the year. I've never claimed clairvoyance and as we'll see, there's a reason for that.

Happy New Year, Horde!

Prediction:

Economy is a mixed bag
I think we'll see a recession, possibly declared as having already begun but with good odds before the end of the year. It may not be severe, but I think we're nipping at the heels of one. The AI and real estate bubbles are helping keep things inflated, but there are a lot of headwinds in the monetary situation and out-of-control spending continuing to pile on. I think we're probably at the end (or close to it) on rate cuts and that is likely to reverse this year. Inflation is going to remain more or less untamed. Employment is probably going to suffer, too - and expect more and more "revisions" like we've been seeing that wipe out reported job gains. On the plus side, the coming regulatory reforms and - if it happens - DOGE are going to lay a lot of groundwork for recovery. China's continuing decline and the return of trade-as-policy-tool will likely pay dividends, too. There is a lot of reason for cautious optimism in the intermediate term, though I think 2025 is not going to be a banner year. If the bubbles in AI and real estate pop this year, it could be really rotten.

Gotta give myself a miss on this one. Employment - despite the headline numbers - is soft, but it isn't negative. Real estate is starting to soften more or less on schedule and the AI bubble has gotten even more dangerous, but nothing has broken badly and I can't claim any points.

Prediction:

The Russia/Ukraine situation is resolved, one way or another
American financing of the Ukrainians is unpopular and fewer people than ever care, except for not liking how much it's costing to maintain a stalemate. The great shoveling money into the furnace that Congress and Biden just undertook is likely its last hurrah. I expect Trump and his people to wade in and negotiate a settlement of some kind, in some manner. Russia will likely keep Crimea and the Russian-speaking areas it has already conquered and there will probably be some kind of DMZ or buffer zone. There may be some kind of reparations, disguised as something else, as a face-saving exercise (like seized Russian assets remaining seized forever). I don't think Zelensky will be deposed in the aftermath, nor do I think that Ukraine will be joining NATO or the EU. They won't be formally denied entry, but they won't be admitted.

Nope. Miss. Trump is making more noise recently about it and I think something will happen on this front soon, but it didn't happen in 2025.

Prediction:

The Middle East gets worse
The recent coup in Syria, the continued malingering in the Palestinian territories, an increasingly desperate Iran once the taps are turned off (which I think will happen under Trump, as it did before), an increasingly questionable Turkey and all the run-of-the-mill intrigues are going to conspire to keep the region hot for a while. I won't be surprised to see another war break out in the region, and I think peace breaking out is pretty unlikely.

This one is debatable. I am going to take the point, but you may disagree. There was an entire additional war in the region this year, the saber-rattling hasn't exactly toned down, various psychotic or suicidal countries decided to go ahead and recognize the Palestinian Territories, Israel/Qatar relations are degrading, there is civil unrest (again) in Iran, the Houthis remain a problem, etc. It isn't a pile of ash in the Middle East, but I think I can call this one a hit.

Prediction:

Energy improves
Despite the sticks in the eye Biden is driving into us on his way out the door, Trump is pro-energy and has sworn to keep naysayers - like RFK Jr - away from energy policy. I have some faith that this will happen and we'll be back to producing energy, starting this year. It takes a while and major industries don't turn on and off with the flip of a switch, but I have hope for a remaking of American energy through aggressive use of the EO pen, bullying Congress into doing their jobs, and whipping the administrative bureaus into line. Oil is going to be back, and I have some hope for nuclear at least getting started in the next few years.

Big hit. Oil is back and so is nuclear, much of it on the back of regulatory reform and major changes at Energy and Environmental Protection.

Prediction:

Unmaskable administrative infighting
The "Resistance" types are not going away, and are not going to be quitting on day 1. They're dug in like ticks and will do exactly what they did last time. I expect major, ugly, public fighting over the bureaus and control of them. I expect we're going to see attempted layoffs/mass firings, tons of court battles, stays, injunctions and overturnings from all corners. Congress is going to remain loudly silent over most of it, quietly blocking appointments as it is able. The bureaus are going to be fighting for their lives, and they know it. I expect some progress in Energy, Education, Interior, HHS, HUD and maybe some of the smaller outfits like USDA. I expect little to no progress in Justice, State, Treasury, EPA or any of those agencies comprising the IC.

I am going to give myself a point for this, but there is room for argument. The administrative agencies didn't exactly go as I expected (I expected nothing at EPA, and we got something). Justice has done what Justice always done, the courts have gone hog-wild, Congress has been largely unhelpful. We have had major gains in most of the places I expected, absent Education. I'm taking the point.

Prediction:

Continued progress in the culture war
We're going to chalk up some victories in 2025. I expect Hollywood to continue its general implosion as the cruft built up over the past seven years or so works its way through the studios. I expect DEI to be downplayed. DEI and its ilk will continue, of course, but much less publicly because it is losing support. I expect a few court battles over DEI-type policies to get started or finish during the year, and it will lose its de facto legal protections. More public universities are going to take a cue from Iowa and start winding down the more egregious programs. Woke is not going to die, but it's going to come out weaker in December than it is today.

Hit. The formal destruction of DEI has not been fully realized, but the entire scheme is on the back foot and while many universities and major corporations are making changes in name only, there is much progress being made. This has been a bright spot of the past year.

Prediction:

Major reductions and retrenchment in the press
The body blows the American press has been taking in the last quarter of 2024 will continue. They basically bet the business this year, and the bet failed. The Party loyalists who were keeping them afloat are disaffected, the opposition is exultant and the vast middle is increasingly indifferent if not outright contemptuous of the press. 2025 is going to be a bad year for establishment "journalism" and I expect significant layoffs and restructuring and would not be surprised by failure or near-failure resulting in consolidation. The press will not improve, it will just get smaller.

Hit. Major shakeups and divestitures at MSNBC, WaPo, CBS and more. The Press ain't dead (and it never will be), but they're having to regroup and consolidate and journalists have been getting axed.

So how did I do? 2/7 were clean misses and 3/7 were clean hits. 2/7 are arguable, but I think I got them.

So like 2025 itself, my crystal ball was a mixed bag!

I think 2025 was overall positive, but not stupendous. How do you think 2025 went? What do you all see for the coming year?

Also, Rubio and Bessent hit it out of the park this year.

Hegseth did ok.

It's not quite the same thing, but I saw this from Tom Emmer this morning. Who is Tom Emmer? He's the GOP house whip, and there were several stories earlier this week about how he shut down Minnesotans complaining about the influx of Somalis, naturally labeling them raycisssss. Apparently, he's starting to hear footsteps and knives being sharpened. Good. Make an example of him. Let him know the zeitgeist has shifted.

More of the same.

- There will be more revelations of fraud and malfeasance related to the public fisc.
- There will be more revelations about official corruption, particularly around elections.
- There will be more obstruction by the judges.
- There will continue to be no action by Congress.

- The election will be important and will not go our way. Too many on the other side don't care about anything but getting theirs from whitey, or men, or Christians, of Jews, or whatever. Too many on our side will whine that voting for Trump in 2024 didn't magically, and instantly, fix everything.

From what I've seen he's done exactly what he should be doing, and the near-constant media and Bluesky outrage about him (even when he's not actively in the news) seems to indicate it's working. We had a sitting senator, Mark Kelly, launch an attempt to get the military to overthrow Trump and it was a wet Swalwell fart.

If you are letting the world get to you, stop. The Trump Era is a net good and when they take back over, or even when "other" Republicans do, you will need steel in your loins and to give even less of a fuck about the things you can't control.

55 DOJ Sues to Stop Virginia From Giving Illegal Aliens In-State Tuition and Financial Aid

My youngest is a citizen and didn't get in-state tuition from Virginia Tech.

56 I suspect that not even a tenth of the fraudulent use of taxpayer dollars has been uncovered. We could actually be running a government surplus if it was stopped. We now know that the child care, EBT, and housing assistance programs are being defrauded to the tune of hundreds of billions and they funnel the stolen money interstate between democrat politicians.

Prediction: the democrats will do anything, including killing, to prevent it from being stopped. Their entire party apparatus relies on the fraud to fund candidates and pay for get out the vote efforts.

But the national numbers will be hard to read when those two extremes are averaged into each other.

Governor Tim Walz is "firing back", saying "fighting fraud" was his plan all along. "None of the centers were accused of fraud by 'authorities'". "None of this is new" "Our affiliate has been covering it for months"

Not a word about the federal multi-agency task force that has been conducting investigations in the state for nearly a year, or FBI Director Kash Patel's direct involvement that has led to dozens of arrests, indictments, and guilty pleas. Not A Word. ABC is trash.

131 I think the scale of the fraud is going to be astounding. I'm betting the majority of the federal budget is fraud, if it isn't all of it. And I still contend it will be the single largest transfer of wealth in history.

And that transfer is from us, to them. "Them" being the political class. Both Democrats and Republicans. Who then piss it away on various vanity projects and schemes to make more money and make us poorer.

We're being subjugated. Daily. Had the wealth not been stolen we'd likely have had the wherewithal to stop what they've been doing to us. So, in that respect their plan worked.

*************

Musk recently stated that the opposition to DOGE was about 80% to 90% from the Democrats (with Musk stating that it was probably closer to 80% than 90%), and the GOP elements were quite assertive in opposing DOGE's efforts.

So the amount of fraud in red states has to be significant. Not all of the red states, but Georgia and Arizona would be two to look at closely.

143 Israel always looks problematic, but I’ll argue that they are in fact stronger today, and in a far better position than they have ever been since 1948.

Do they still have vicious enemies wishing them harm? Of course they do, and will have til the end of this world. But consider that just over 2 years ago, they were surrounded by 6 armies all potentially wiling to attack. Now look how that played out:
Egypt - wisely decided to opt out. Not a friend, but engaged in no hostilities.
Jordan - same as Egypt.
Hamas - surrounded and badly degraded. Still dangerous, but their missile force is gone, as well as at least half of their operatives, and most of their leadership.
Lebanon/Hezbollah - leadership decapitated, much of the missile stores destroyed. Still dangerous, but like Hamas, contained.
Syria - a perennial enemy, and the biggest surprise. Government destroyed, old Syrian Army completely collapsed and gone. New Syria is still problematic, but does not have a fraction of the power old Syria had.
And Iran - the greatest enemy of all, and now humiliated, defeated in battle, and on the verge of internal collapse.
Israel is doing quite well.

You aren't paying attention. The DOJ has been very good at protecting the 2A against the states. It is also protecting existing federal laws. Some of those laws are clearly unconstitutional, like the NFA and the 1000 yard school zone law, but the DOJ protects those existing Federal laws because federal courts require cases in controversy to hear anything. If her DOJ agreed not to enforce those federal laws, the next Communist DOJ could simply enforce them with VIGOR and we can never get a SCOTUS ruling to make them go away permanently.

And the "they're eating the cats and dogs"...worked.

Why?

Because people didn't ask for the population of Haiti to enter America under Biden. America has been asking for lower immigration levels for decades, and then Biden's administration blew the doors open in the opposite direction that not even Obama, post-2010, did. At a level that even Jeb Bush probably had reservations about.

Secure the border first, then start worrying about people going to real estate moguls from New York for their political leadership.

Polling shows a very tight, Republican favored environment right now (you know...the halfway decent polling, not the ones that say that Kamala is going to win PA by 5). The congressional map means that Democrats usually have to win the generic congressional ballot by 3-4 to have a shot at winning the House.

Average right now is D+3.9. And the polling will trend Republican over the next 11 months like it has every election year since 1990.

And even in a favored Democrat environment, they couldn't win the Senate. NC is 50/50, at best. Ask Logan how running for Senate in the wrong party against the partisan divide of the state works for "popular" governors. ME? Psh. Collins is going to win that one in a walk. TX? That's their third?

It's such a different world than all of the past 50 years, and I don't see "DEI" waning.

For those on social security and/or federal pensions, make sure you get a Payee Representative on your account(s) in the event you're unable to manage your financial affairs temporarily (i.e., hospitalized for a time) or permanently (i.e., assisted living).

There are 539 licensed childcare centers in Washington state that list Somali as the primary language of operation.
The number of Somali-run daycares in Washington has drawn attention due to their high concentration and a recent fraud scandal involving Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota.
Concerns have been raised online that many of these Washington facilities list only an email or P.O. box instead of a physical address in public databases, leading to calls for audits and investigations into potential subsidy fraud.
The Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF), which licenses these facilities, has stated that licensed providers must meet state standards and undergo regular inspections. The agency also provides resources in Somali, including FAQs and licensing overviews. (Much more follows.)

California gas is so expensive because it is a special blend demanded by Cal law. With the refinery that blew up this year going off line completely in Jan 2026 and another in the first Q of 2026, Cal doesn't have enough refining ability to produce its special gas, and will have to import it from India. That has a lot to do with Cal's high gas prices.

269 2025 was a massive hit. Seriously, who would have predicted a closed border and 2.5 million illegals, including hundreds of thousands of gang members and criminals, sent packing? Me, I expected we might be able to get a couple hundred k deported and maybe reduce border crossings to what they were during the previous Trump administration.

That alone is a titanic win. Monumental. Because it showed that the problem was NEVER the laws, and we could always turn off the tap whenever we want. Illegal immigration was a choice we made. Not we, THEM. republicans and democrats. They decided, contrary to simply stop enforcing the law or taking it seriously. Best of all, there is no way back. At least they can't use that ploy again on us.

271 What dragging the U.S, down is states like California, New York, Illinois, and Washington. They are functionally broke and will show zero economic growth going forward. Until and unless they change their many, many broken laws and policies, there is no hope there. No hope of economic growth.

30 Spencer portrayed the unvarnished reality of male-female relationships in this painting, which chronicles the travails of early married life. Here, the unseen young wife is not in full command of her kitchen, having sent her young husband out to procure the groceries—a task for which he is evidently not qualified. Using her own husband as a model, Spencer depicted the man stumbling down the street and attempting to hold on to the items in his overflowing basket, attracting gazes from at least one onlooker and suffering a public humiliation. Spencer depicted in humorous terms a real social anxiety of the time: that of setting up a household and running it efficiently.

37 The sneer on the face of the man in the background reminds me of a Punch cartoon from (I believe) the 1860s, showing a man in full Victorian regalia holding his young daughter with one hand and carrying her doll in the other.

Because that sort of fatherly affection in public was thought to be unmanly, the title of the cartoon was True Courage.

I see the same dynamic here.

101 Lilly Martin Spencer born in England of French parents, moved to America when she was 8, settling in Marietta, OH, which at the time was the gateway to the west.

Painted from her home, with her husband as her business manager. Moved to NYC in her middle years.

I like her self portrait, painted in the 1840s.

>The famously funny yet enigmatic chorus, Simon said, came from a funny memory of going to a party at the New York apartment of Pierre Boulez, the conductor-composer. Simon and his first wife Peggy arrived, meeting their host at the door, who evidently had no clue who they were. Boulez introduced them to his guests as “Al and Betty.”

There's an old Andy Capp cartoon where Andy calls on his mate Chalkie to go down to the pub. Chalkie says that he won't, because he feels guilty about going off and having fun while his wife is in bed with the flu. "Suit yourself," Andy shrugs, and the last panel is of Chalkie doing dishes and saying, "'E's a smashin' mate. 'E likes me in spite of me virtues."

The place was totally packed with ladies shopping for Pesach, and she was worried she wouldn't get her chicken. She says to mom "B," she says, "these Jews have entirely too much power."

This is apparently grocery stores' attempts at experimental design, efforts to gather data on how sitting different items next to each other or in different parts of the store affect purchasing behavior.

It's radically inefficient and a waste of pretty much everyone's time because you can design the experiments much more efficiently.

263 Young Husband: First Marketing
Lilly Martin Spencer, American
1854

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 758

"Spencer portrayed the unvarnished reality of male-female relationships in this painting, which chronicles the travails of early married life. Here, the unseen young wife is not in full command of her kitchen, having sent her young husband out to procure the groceries—a task for which he is evidently not qualified. Using her own husband as a model, Spencer depicted the man stumbling down the street and attempting to hold on to the items in his overflowing basket, attracting gazes from at least one onlooker and suffering a public humiliation. Spencer depicted in humorous terms a real social anxiety of the time: that of setting up a household and running it efficiently."

It's a well-done and lighthearted painting. Lily Martin Spencer's 'Young Wife: First Stew' is too. I like the featured painting and the other mentioned a great deal & might hang them as a set.

Thanks.

277 Our local Kroger's decided to completely rearrange every store. The new layout makes zero sense. Every non-frozen or refrigerated product has been moved. Even canned vegetables are scattered about, and not in their own aisle.

They do that periodically to keep you in the store longer. The theory is if you are wandering around - you may buy something on impulse. They are idiots to do that because they don't account for the pissed off customers who are angry at the store for wasting their time, and figure "I'll just shop somewhere else if I have to learn a whole new layout".

NEW: House Oversight Committee Chairman @RepJamesComer announces the committee’s first hearing into the MN Somali fraud scandal will be on January 7th & will feature MN state lawmakers who sounded the alarm on the fraud & were allegedly ignored. MN Gov. Tim Walz & AG Keith Ellison are being invited to testify before the committee in a second hearing on February 10th.

“Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison have either been asleep at the wheel or complicit in a massive fraud involving taxpayer dollars in Minnesota’s social services programs,” Comer writes. “Next week, we will hear from Minnesota state lawmakers who sounded the alarm on this fraud — and whose warnings were ignored by the Walz administration. This misconduct cannot be swept aside, and Congress will not stop until taxpayers get the answers and accountability they deserve.”

The Morning Report — 12/31/25

2025-26.jpg

Good morning kids. The big story, on this New Year's Eve, at least in the real world and not the Potemkin Village holographic illusion projected by the Democrat/Leftist Propaganda complex is the massive multi-billion dollar swindle perpetrated on the American people by Somali immigrants (invaders) and their Democrat Party protectors in Minnesota and elsewhere. No doubt that a not insignificant amount of the loot wound up in the pockets of credibly suspected pederast Tim Walz, incest practitioner and immigration fraudster Bro-Fo Omar, Jacob Frey and other local state and national Democrats from Minnesota as well as the coffers of the despicable anti-American Commie front group known as the Democrat Farm Labor Party, and the equally evil Islamic terror groups in Somallia that are now spilling rivers of blood in the horn of Africa and likely helping their compatriots slaughter Nigerian Christians and others in Central Africa.

It's the Brinks Job of Great Train Robberies of Teapot Domes. It's bigger than that and considering the transnational nature of the graft, it would not surprise me in the least and I fully expect that the Clintons have more than few drops of moisture on their beaks via the Clinton Global Initiative and massage parlor. As my mother of blessed memory observed way back when in '92 when these bastards came to prominence, that they had goniffed the entire state of Arkansas, and then from their lair in the West Wing somehow swindled millions in aid money that was supposed to go to Haiti in the wake of a hurricane. Epstein is small potatoes, The Minnesota strip is where the action is.


Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services Jim O’Neill announced the agency has paused child care payments in Minnesota due to alleged child daycare fraud. . . 1. I have activated our defend the spend system for all ACF payments. Starting today, all ACF payments across America will require a justification and a receipt or photo evidence before we send money to a state.

2. Alex Adams and I have identified the individuals in @nickshirleyy’s excellent work. I have demanded from @GovTimWalz a comprehensive audit of these centers. This includes attendance records, licenses, complaints, investigations, and inspections.

3. We have launched a dedicated fraud-reporting hotline and email address at https://childcare.gov Whether you are a parent, provider, or member of the general public, we want to hear from you.

It's probably safe to assume that judges Buch M. Danno and Moe Loki from the Banzai Pipeline court of appeals will have a restraining order issued by the time this posts.


And speaking of which . . .

The White House cannot lapse in its funding of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a federal district court judge ruled on Tuesday, only days before funds at the bureau would have likely run out and the consumer finance agency would have no money to pay its employees. Judge Amy Berman ruled that the CFPB should continue to get its funds from the Federal Reserve, despite the Fed operating at a loss, and that the White House’s new legal argument about how the CFPB gets its funds is not valid.At the heart of this case is whether Russell Vought, President Donald Trump’s budget director and the acting director of the CFPB, can effectively shut down the agency and lay off all of the bureau’s employees. The CFPB has largely been inoperable since President Trump has sworn into office nearly a year ago. Its employees are mostly forbidden from doing any work, and most of the bureau’s operations this year has been to unwind the work it did under [so-called quote-unquote] President Biden and even under Trump’s first term.

First of all, Amy Vermin Berman Jackson is a tyrannical commie thug in a judge's robe as you can see from her long and revolting rap sheet courtesy of the invaluable DiscovertheNetworks.

As you can see she has been singularly focused on destroying President Trump and anyone and everyone who supports him, including anyone who was even thinking that 2020 was stolen, let alone who showed up to DC to actually protest on 1/6/21.

The CFPB is an utterly illegal anti-constitutional politburo that as it was established has no congressional oversight, can directly fund itself without approval or any check on it by Congress and as such wields unprecedented power over the economy and therefore over the individual rights of the citizenry. In the words of President Trump almost from day one of his second term:


CFPB Isn’t a Wall Street Regulator, It’s a Main Street Regulator — The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) — the brainchild of Sen. Elizabeth Warren — has long functioned as another woke, weaponized arm of the bureaucracy that leverages its power against certain industries and individuals disfavored by so-called “elites.”
For example:
CFPB used its slush fund — collected from targeting financial institutions — to support radical advocacy groups. One such group is the Soros-backed Mississippi Center for Justice, which advocates for “racial and economic justice,” targets religious liberty, and assists illegal immigrants seeking to skirt our nation’s laws. Another is The Legal Aid Society of the District of Columbia, whose board features senior left-wing officials and has lobbied hundreds of times for more welfare spending. -- CFBP threatened banks for refusing to lend to illegal immigrants. --CFPB targeted a Chicago small business after it complained about the city’s rampant crime. -- CFPB was accused of mining American citizens’ personal financial information — with a 2017 inspector general’s report raising significant concerns about its data security. -- CFPB granted itself broad new powers in the waning hours of the lame duck Biden administration. Described as classic “government overreach,” the agency gave itself the authority to regulate Americans’ checking accounts by dictating government price controls and unilaterally buried $50 billion in medical debt.

And Mr. President, please forget about this new fleet of battleships and instead expand ICE by a factor of at least 10, with a grand fleet of paddy wagons and Pinochet airliners to Deport the illegal aliens.

PS, Eric Swalwell cannot Fang-Fang himself off this planet fast enough to suit me.

So if the president is going to send ICE agents to chase immigrants through the fields where they work, what I’m going to do is make sure that they take off their masks and show their faces, that they show their identification. And if they commit crimes that they’re going to be charged with crimes, if it’s falsely imprisoning people, if it’s kidnapping, if it’s assault battery, they’re going to be held accountable. I also think if the governor has the ability to issue driver’s licenses to people in California, if you’re going to wear a mask and not identify yourself, you’re not going to be eligible to drive a vehicle in California. There’s a lot you can do, but most importantly, you have to go on offense. Otherwise, the most vulnerable in our community will always be on defense.”

27 49% picked “cut government spending in other areas instead”; 13% went for “raise payroll taxes”; 6% preferred “raise the retirement age”; another 6% leaned toward “reduce benefits for future retirees”; and 9% selected “no changes are needed.” A hefty 17% said they were “not sure.”
Americans Still Jittery Over Fate Of Social Security, But Can’t Agree On How To Fix It: I&I/TIPP Poll

I would say...

- Cut spending in other areas.
- Slowly begin the process of raising the retirement age, cutting benefits for future retirees, and LOWERING the payroll tax.
- Unify the rules surrounding retirement accounts so that everyone gets the same deal, everyone has their own, and it actually belongs to them.

The goal should be to end social security rather than periodically screwing over younger generations.

Bushs plan in 2005 would have millions of people now with 20 years of their OWN money.

If you invested $100 in the S&P 500 at the beginning of 2005, you would have about $797.82 at the end of 2025, assuming you reinvested all dividends. This is a return on investment of 697.82%, or 10.62% per year.

36 Just a spectator waiting for something to happen to these criminals.

As you may know, I head the Black Pilled Chapter of AoSHQ, holding out exactly zero hope that Western Civilization survives into 2028, but the timing of all of this interests me.

The arrests, prosecutions and dismissals in one case, and convictions in others happened BEFORE Nick's 100M+ view iPhone Documentary.

The locals knew this years before DOGE picked it up, and Otto Pen Era DOJ was already on it. Nick sensationalized it and got prominent placement on the talk show and White House platforms.

Now the social media world is in Rage Mode (at least until the next squirrel) I'm sort of wondering if there is coördination now, due to the 80/20 Rule where Trump wants to put his opponents in the 20 box before he makes sweeping administrative moves like stopping all payments to States which he couldn't do politically before until the 80% demanded it.

"So, yes the Biden DOJ did file charges against 73 Somalis, but it didn't publicize anything about the fraud via press release after March 2023 that included 57 defendants to that date.

The Trump DOJ has been indicting Somalis since Aug. 2025 in connection with Feeding Our Future and other fraud schemes, including 8 in December involving the Housing assistance fraud scheme.

The US Attorney who announced those charges called them the first in a "wave" of coming indictments."

What a seriously warped and twisted revisionist history.

Did you ever read the Declaration of Independence? The entire documents is a point by point rejection of the British System - so horrible and corrupt that God Himself rebuked it and to make the universe right again, it required the colonies to separate by any means necessary.

Did you know that British are subjects not citizens?
That instead of the monarchy, they decided to start off with a completely different pattern that they believed was pleasing to the Creator and elevated man's inalienable Rights bestowed on to him by the Creator rather than privileges granted by the king?

75 Bushs plan in 2005 would have millions of people now with 20 years of their OWN money.

If you invested $100 in the S&P 500 at the beginning of 2005, you would have about $797.82 at the end of 2025, assuming you reinvested all dividends. This is a return on investment of 697.82%, or 10.62% per year.

And I supported that plan wholeheartedly. Despite the fact that I will be, technically, eligible to receive social security in a few months, I am doubtful that it will survive my lifetime. I've always known that it was a trainwreck in the making and a way to fuck over millions in the process.

Sadly, too many people can't see beyond the fearmongering.

The CFPB should have disappeared long ago but for the courts, including Roberts. As I understand it the CFPB rules and refs were made inseparable when sponsored and passed by Chief Warren. This meant that if one thing was found unconstitutional the rest of the agency was dead. The courts have already found the funding was unconstitutional and also the appointment of the head of the agency. The courts have not followed through on finding the whole things being unconstitutional. Oh and the Congress sits there with their thumbs up their asses

Start by cutting off the lavish guaranteed defined benefit pensions given to every gold brick that puts in 25 years.

Government employees' lavish and care free pensions are so holy and sacred that some states actually make it Constitutional to plunder the working class to keep the damned parasites regular stream secure despite crashing economies and deep public debt. The streets go unpaved and the fire stations close before one dime of pension is cut - and it is unlawful still to not pay that dime - float another bond or loan.

SS is, officially, separately funded. As long as the taxes are collected it won't "run out of money" but it will be unable to pay the entire promised benefit without getting additional money from the regular tax base.

The other things cannot run out of money because Congress said that people are 'entitled' to those benefits. Dems will cut spending on absolutely everything else (except, of course, pay and bennies for feds) before they stop paying those things.

Not at all. Tax policy is purely social policy and has no element of fiscal policy.

Revenues are not, but should be, considered when planning spending. The reality is that spending also has no relationship to fiscal policy.

Which is not the fault of Ace, the cob-loggers or the Horde; it's my sure and certain knowledge that there is no bottom and no point at which the American public will finally revolt.

From my admittedly limited POV, Trump seems to think that a roaring economy will cure all ills. But all it will do is give the left a bigger pot of gold to plunder. I would gladly pay $10/gallon gas if I could see Comey, Scankles, Swallwell, MConnell, &c. given the Ceaucescu treatment.

Is it immoral to take every benefit the government offers? I don't think so. Therefore I have no qualms about qualifying for the EIC because of our lower income and still dependent kid. Did you know if you're retired and taking SS, any dependent child under 18 gets a check too? (it doesn't come out of their future benefits, either) So, I take them.

Trump clearly is not a linear thinker.

While stimulating as much productivity into the system, he is very aware and actively working to defund the Left leaving the monsters who plunder the system without the means to rule pretending to be a majority when they are not.

Other miracles are occurring too:

For one, much to RFK's chagrin, the massive increase in Autism isn't from vaccines and Tylenol, but Somalian-styled fraud.

201 With a few exceptions, the AG spot at DoJ is a political one. Bondi's a politician, not a law enforcement officer. She doesn't even really try to be one.

There are some people who'll say they support her efforts to reform the DoJ. I'd like to know, specifically, what those efforts are and whether they are being successful. An on the cuff analysis seems to be mixed.

If, as some suggest, the DoJ is as corrupt as they say, then perhaps someone with a more forceful personality would be a better fit at Justice. I think Bondi's timid. A politician in a cut-throat position who's having some difficulty reigning in her charge.

There are other women in the administration that don't seem to be having the same issues in their respective positions.

216 Paine was defending the French Revolution, not ours. And he was obviously wrong in that.

Paine's pamphlets contributed mightily to the creation of this nation's charter. Starting with "Common Sense" that was pivotal in the rallying support for independence and that the government should derive its authority from the people not monarchy or hereditary privilege.

Though he did whine a bit about the 1787 Constitution for being too conservative and elitist.

I also would not want him on the SCOTUS because he rejected "originalism". We have enough "living document" types on the bench now.

That sounds imaginative. Will the idea support multiple episodes, though? I expect there aren't 22, but maybe 6 or 7?

Spade's main adventure, Maltese Falcon, was published in '29, so probably set in '28. This series, I guess, would be in the Thirties, before the war?

220 >>Americans Still Jittery Over Fate Of Social Security, But Can’t Agree On How To Fix It:

Social Security started to become illiquid when Congress allowed illegal aliens, and aliens with temporary status access to the funds. They also allowed immigrants the ability to put people like their sick parents on SSDI. Take a look at the legislation Congress passed, the look at the chart of solvency.

SSDI is also a huge fraud vector. When someone finally digs down on that scam it’s going to be trillions. There are doctors and fake medical establishments who funnel people into that system.

So you want to know how to make SS solvent? There you go. Pretty easy, even an internet guy can do it.

Posted by: fd at December 31, 2025 08:33 AM (vFG9F)

It is kid of a jarring juxtaposition, isn't it?

America, and the West in general more or less, has this weird, nearly mystical obsession with this strange, abstract thing we call "The Economy", as if it were a self contained object with its own intensive and extensive properties, and lives and breathes on its own to be poked and prodded and studied and manipulated like it were an elephant or a bridge. The legacy of Adam Smith I assume.

A Somali has pretty much no conception of such a creature. You have stuff. You suck at protecting your stuff. He takes your stuff. Now he has stuff. You go out and make more stuff. You suck at protecting that stuff, too. He takes your stuff again. Now he has more stuff.

There's no "Economy" to talk about in any of that, it's just a bunch of making and taking with no coherence or internal structure of any kind.

And Owen has some of the physical traits Hammett described. Nice that they don't pretend the actor is still thirty-something. I'll have to look for this at the library. They have a slew of TV series on DVD as well as movies.

There was only one Spade novel, and a very few short stories. The latter were written as Hammett slid into his "not writing any more" period. His last novel was The Thin Man -- which is nowhere near the funny charming romp of the Powell-Loy movie or its sequels. As with Falcon, I got bored with TTM the novel early on and took two or three tries to finish it. Maybe I'd appreciate it more now.

Then there's the not so small problem of the left and the courts suing to stop any move like that and at best holding it up for months.

Trumps US Attorney for Minnesota wasn't even sworn in until October 10th because Democrats in Congress have been holding nominations. The DOJ has still managed to charge nearly 100 people in Minnesota and counting.

The problem is not at the DOJ. The problem is with the Senate that refuses to play tough with Democrats and get rid of archaic and abused rules like blue slips. And get rid of the filibuster while they are at it.

So far I've seen that the fraud recipients were giving money to the state Dem party. I assume shortly the feds will have evidence of willful negligence on MN's part. That should be enough to start charging some of Walz's minions...but Walz himself should be the ultimate target here.

And not only because he is guilty as sin, but because if a big name Dem goes to prison for fraud and graft we will finally see the Dems (and GOPe) start to see limits to how much they can steal.

"This person owns assisted living facilities, and his wife runs the service provider part of it.

Now, that same shell company has been used to buy a new assisted living facility property!"

Seinfeld, like Get Smart before it, set up its own little loony world and then explored it. And we loved it.

It was also a show about rules of social behavior and what happens when you violate them. Remember George scooping up food atop a kitchen trash bin? "Adjacent to refuse IS refuse!" Or recall the bit about Jerry being icked-out that the restaurant owner hadn't washed his hands after using the bathroom and before handling food? I'll venture to say a lot of viewers started washing their hands "after," once they'd seen that.

415 California officials quietly crossed a line that almost never gets crossed in civilian energy markets.
Behind closed doors, emergency discussions surfaced around using extraordinary authority to force refineries to stay online if fuel supply conditions deteriorate further. This video breaks down what triggered those talks, why normal policy tools were no longer considered enough, and what it means when governments start preparing for asset control instead of market cooperation.
The concern wasn’t pump prices. It was refinery behavior, outage risk, and the realization that private operators cannot be compelled to produce fuel once confidence breaks. Internal projections showed that even partial withdrawal by multiple refiners could trigger supply failures the state would be unable to control in time.
This is not speculation or political rhetoric. It’s a look at how severe conditions have become behind the scenes — and why contingency planning moved into territory usually reserved for national emergencies.

417 Good morning, all, and thank you, J.J.

Obama/Holder, always.

Obama President Barack Obama referred to Elizabeth Warren as the "architect" of the new bureau & appointed her to the role of special adviser to help set up and launch the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
Reportedly, in 2007, Warren, than a Harvard Law School professor, came up with the idea for the independent agency. 🙄
In July 2010, Congress passed and President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The law – often referred to as the Dodd-Frank Act – created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the CFPB).
President Obama urged Congress to give the consumer agency the same "accountability and independence" that the other banking agencies have and sufficient funding so it could ensure that financial companies would comply with consumer laws.
In September 2010, President Obama officially named Warren as an Assistant to the President and Special Adviser to the Secretary of the Treasury, tasking her with
overseeing all aspects of the bureau's initial creation; working to staff the new agency, and get it up and running.

But that's not all.

418 Warren's daughter, Amelia Warren Tyagi, was on the Demos Board of Trustees starting at least as early as 2009. By 2011, she was the Chairman of the Board for Demos.

Demos, a highly progressive think tank, was a major supporter of Amelia's mother, Elizabeth Warren, during that period, presenting her with awards and promoting her work. Amelia Tyagi is now a trustee emeritus of the organization. (See demos org, board of trustees.)

Amelia Warren Tyagi currently serves on the Board of Directors for FUSE Corps, a non-profit that places professionals in local government. ("FUSE is a national nonprofit dedicated to increasing the capacity of local governments to engage communities and work more effectively for everyone.") FUSE is involved in a number of cities across the country including Brooklyn Center & Minneapolis, MN and, of course, Allegheny County & Philadelphia, PA.

(BTW, Warren Tyagi also co-founded HealthAllies with other McKinsey alumni. HealthAllies was a venture capital-backed health benefits firm that was acquired by UnitedHealth Group in the early 2000s.)

419 DOJ Sues Virginia Over In-State Tuition for Illegal Immigrants

The Department of Justice filed suit against the state of Virginia, challenging its policy of granting in-state tuition and state financial aid to undocumented immigrants at public universities.

The DOJ argues the policy violates federal law by allowing illegal immigrants to pay significantly lower tuition than out-of-state U.S. citizens. At the University of Virginia, undocumented students qualifying under the policy pay roughly $24,000 per year, while Americans from other states pay over $62,000.

Attorney General Pam Bondi said the policy treats American students as “second-class citizens” and unfairly uses taxpayer resources to subsidize individuals who are not lawfully present. The case is part of a broader federal effort targeting similar “tuition equity” laws in more than 20 states.

420 A-hole Swalwell: As CA Gov I Will Charge ICE Agents, Take Away Their Drivers License

Pinal Central, 'California delays revoking 17,000 commercial drivers licenses,' 30 Dec. 2025

In part, A week after immigrant groups filed a lawsuit, California said Tuesday it will delay the revocations of 17,000 commercial driver's licenses until March to allow more time to ensure that truckers and bus drivers who legally qualify for the licenses can keep them.

California decided to revoke the licenses after Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy pressured the state to make sure immigrants who are in the country illegally aren't granted the licenses. The Transportation Department has been prioritizing the issue ever since a truck driver who was not authorized to be in the U.S. made an illegal U-turn and caused a crash in Florida that killed three people in August.

  • The problem with letting AI do the grunt work. (The Atlantic) (archive site)
    Fresh out of college in the mid 2010s, I'd scored a copy job for a how-to website. An early task involved expanding upon an article titled "How to Get Rid of Dark Lips." For the next two years, I worked on articles with headlines such as "How to Speak Like a Stereotypical New Yorker (With Examples)", "How to Eat an Insect or Arachnid," and "How to Acquire a Gun License in New Jersey." I didn't get rich or win literary awards, but I did learn how to write a clean sentence, convey information in a logical sequence, and modulate my tone for the intended audience - skills that I use daily in my current work in screenwriting, film editing, and corporate communications.
    Not seeing the problem here to be honest.

    The author's latest feature film, How to Write Slop for Fun and Profit, is airing nowhere now.

Why? Do they keep cash and other valuables in the day care? If you're going to commit a burglary, why not hit a jewelry store or a pharmacy? Or a home belonging to a Somali day care owner? Just go to the expensive area of town where everyone drives late-model luxury cars.

46 CBD, You posted some months ago a 19th century painting that looks exactly like a black and white print. It struck me that it addressed, in a rather recursive manner, the issue of how photography impacted painting.

Whether or not photography caused artists to start painting in a manner that would become modern art Is not a linear story; however, it is clear, at least to me, photography did have some effect here.

A lot of early photographers spent their time imitating the romantic and classical forms of painting while also exploring purely photographic techniques and more modern ideas such as photojournalism. With this in mind, it's not unreasonable to consider how photography impacted painting and my sense his photography trigger to some extent caused to think more abstractly.

Photography came into its own as own art form roughly in the 1920s with Alfred Steiglitz being a highly influential character here. Group f/64, beginning in 1932, created some of the greatest photographs ever made. The impact of smaller and lighter cameras gave rise to what we now consider to be street photography was Robert Franks the Americans being highly influential.

GROUP F/64
( AMERICAN GROUP )

Group f/64 was a group founded by seven 20th-century San Francisco Bay Area photographers who shared a common photographic style characterized by sharply focused and carefully framed images seen through a particularly Western (U.S.) viewpoint.

In part, they formed in opposition to the pictorial photographic style that had dominated much of the early 20th century, but moreover, they wanted to promote a new modernist aesthetic that was based on precisely exposed images of natural forms and found objects.

55 I think painters had mostly been aiming for more and more realism up until the late 1800s.

Then Matisse and Picasso came along and personally stylized, abstract aesthetics in painting became the thing to do.

Did photography have something to do with that?
Probably, as most professional painters before photography did portraits and as photography progressed it took away 90% of their business and mostly wealthy patrons paid to have a painting made.

Landscape artists still held onto painting until the likes of Ansel Adams came along.

It's certainly an interesting question but I think photography did change traditional fine arts, along with other social and cultural factors of the past 150 years.

Even owned a few of her cassettes.
By the time CDs came out, I don't think I bought any of her music from then on. But I did have a few of Janet Jackson's CDs as I think she had almost as much talent as her older brother.

The last song of Madonna's I really liked was Ray of Light which came out in 1998 and was quite a departure for her with its EDM beat and style.

gKids ar spending the night. Last night, while getting their beds ready, gSon and I were engaged in word play.

I kept trying to get him to say "but" or "butt" in our conversation (yes, this activity started from as lofty a perch as you can imagine). Then gSon decided that he would NOT say either of those words. At one point, he got himself trapped in a position from which he kept trying to use "but" to complete his thought.

He must have tried four or five times and failed, laughing, each time. I came to his rescue by suggesting that "however" would release him from his self-constructed trap. We larfed together a lot during this.

The little wound on my cheek that hasn't healed is a squamous cell carcinoma, about the best thing you can have if you have to get a cancer, and I'll have it excised (leaving, the dermatologist says cheerfully, "a pretty little scar") on Monday morning.

82 A broader and equally interesting question is how photography, recorded music, and movies impacted the arts. The critical connection is that they all used technology to capture what was being expressed and in effect lowered the bar, democratized if you will, who could participate in a meaningful way in the arts.

Once again, with the rise of AI, we're in a similar situation it seems to me; in effect we might be on the cusp of an age of the ubiquity of masterpieces all generated by AI. How this plays out is an interesting question. Ultimately, I think AI generated works are only going to make human generated works more valuable because it will draw the sharp line between the creative human mind and the imitative AI output The only thing that seems clear to me is that AI technology is going to trigger artists to create in different ways with the additional bonus this time around is literature will be affected too.

114 What God showed me yesterday

Was out with spouse two miles from home. Neither of us brought a cell phone ( from now old fogeys need to always bring phones) . There was a loud noise and smoke and the car died right off a major highway. He walked home to get another car. Because we didn't have our phones we called AAA from a bagel shop but the dispatcher was obviously confused thinking the bagel shop number of the guy was our phone. Anyhow, if we had not been stuck by the side of the road I would not have heard Sean Hannity's replacement who had some conservative pastor ( Jack Hibbs) o.n who has a new book out about standing up courageously for your faith and apparently thinks Islam is huge danger. Good for him) and I would not have seen a beautiful sunset. I am thankful to God spouse was with me.

I am not an Anglican or Episcopalian, and even in those traditions they don't call women priests "priestesses" This is used because the person here uses it as a term of derision. I not like Reverend and don't use it except officially ( I use pastor) and it would be as silly to call a woman a pastoress as it would be to call a woman doctor a "doctoress " or a nurse a "nurse-ess" And if anyone thinks I'm out at the church worshipping Astarte while dancing around a pile of molten down metal made from purity rings, they clearly haven't been readings my posts from Christian devotionals😉

Woman Found Dead in a Freezer at Miami Dollar Tree Store

Miami police are investigating after a woman was found dead in a freezer at a Dollar Tree location on Sunday morning. Authorities say the body was discovered around 8 a.m. by an employee at the store located at 968 SW Eighth Street.

The woman was later identified as 32-year-old Massiell Garay Sanchez. According to investigators, surveillance footage shows she entered the store alone the night before her body was found. She did not make any purchases and was not employed by the store.

When a Family Welcomed a Man into Their Home at Christmas, They Never Thought He’d Stay for 45 Years

It was the day before Christmas Eve, and recent homemakers Rob and Dianne Parsons were surprised with a knock on the door. Opening it, Rob looked upon a rather strange sight.

A man stood there with a wheeled garbage bin containing his possessions, and a frozen chicken under his left arm. Rob didn’t know it at the time, but he was in the middle of an interaction that wouldn’t just change his life forever, but his community too.

***


“I said ‘Ronnie, what’s with the chicken?’ He said ‘somebody gave it to me for Christmas’. And then I said two words that changed all of our lives,” Mr. Parsons told the BBC. “And I’m not exactly sure why I said them. I said ‘come in.'”

Cool story. Check out the whole thing.

Big Brother Is Keeping Track Of What We’ve Stuck In Our Rectum

Every year, thousands of people end up in emergency rooms across the United States for a rather uncomfortable and sometimes embarrassing reason — we keep getting things stuck in our rectum. Whether it’s out of curiosity, an accident, or for sexual experimentation, the number of these incidents is surprising.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission tracks emergency room visits in a database, which includes anonymous reports of items that patients have inserted into their rectums. While the names are confidential, the items certainly aren’t. A recent review of the 2024 data has highlighted some of the most unexpected and bizarre cases.

***

Some cases stood out for their sheer scale or strangeness. A doctor recounted removing an entire desktop-sized Yankee Candle — the kind scented like pumpkin spice — from a man’s rectum. In another case, an Iranian man needed surgery after a deodorant canister he had inserted traveled deep into his digestive tract. And a Florida man was found to have a thermos lodged inside him after being scanned during a drug arrest.

Confusingly, some people weren’t even sure if they still had something stuck in their rectum or couldn’t remember inserting anything at all.

Extensive list of items at the link. Check it out, if you dare. Really. It's fascinating what people are putting up their keisters.

52 If asked why these objects are in their rectum and sometimes making way into the area where surgery is needed, they ALL say they don't recall. All say they "accidently sat on it." Oh, sure! I should have kept a record in the ED and said, "Aha! Democrats!"

There are some weird people out there, y'all. And I have not seen them in an ED for 15yrs. Heaven knows what goes on now.

I came home one night and told my visiting parents that a guy thought he was a baboon. Making oooh oooh sounds and scratching his armpits and walking like an ape. A RN and I were walking by his room (I was in street clothes with a lab coat). He screeched, "White monkey!!" at me and got an erection and tried to follow me. The medics who restrained him said he appeared to want to mate.All of the medics and some of the docs were vets with big muscles and I trusted them daily with my life. They looked out for us.

It was just another night in the ED for me but my father and husband loved this story.

We were all quite barking mad, to be honest. Huge ED in a med center. Great docs and nurses, however, if you were in need of help.

I loved them all.

84 My ex's family owned a small nursing home while she was growing up. This was at the time they were closing mental institutions and putting a lot of people on the street because their families disowned them.

They took a couple in and gave them "jobs" at the nursing home that basically consisted of saying hi to everyone. They didn't have any room in their small house so they gave them beds at the nursing home. One guy, Eddie, became part of the family. He was with them for decades and attended every family event including our wedding where he was possibly the happiest person at the event.

103 One factor in the Empire's fall was a lot of hard currency (gold and silver) left the Empire when it was spent on luxury goods from the Far East. The mining of gold and silver within the Empire couldn't keep up with the demand.

Secondary impact was due to the governments income generated by tariffs drying up as the imports decreased, due to the lack of gold and silver to pay for them.

Having not yet discovered the fine art of issuing third party derivative bonds based on peacock feather futures, the financial sector declined.

119 Since I would, for once, be on topic tonight...I will repeat the scan the trauma surgeon and ED docs had me review one night. For my notes for his admission, they said. Right.

BS. They wanted to see how I would react, altho they knew me very well. I tried faithfully to present myself as I am, a refined Southern lady and professional (who had a husband they knew and two HS sons). Now and then they saw the real me for brief moments of lost composure. They'd crack a joke at inopportune times.

I go into their office, thinking,this is new for all of them to come find me as a group...

It was a large and blinking flashlight in the guy. Set on blinking or it set itself for the CT scan. Maybe he thought it was off.

It only took a second for me to bend over laughing loudly like a lunatic and they were all pleased with themselves.

Was I shocked, oh, hell no. Nor did I shock them by laughing like a loon, but they were all in on wanting to see what I'd say or do. I said,"hazard lights." And, yes, the man told the doc he accidently sat on it. It was never a woman who did this, by the way. Maybe now with trans, but not then.

121 Only climate thing in Roman times that comes to mind was that the 10th (?) Legion, in Anglia, was able to cultivate vitis vinifera grapes to make their own wine. Something that would be difficult in the climate that has long prevailed there. Of course Atlantic currents probably explain 90% of it - none of that related to %s of trace gases in the troposphere of course.

Anyway one of the more amusing factoids that instantly undermines all the begged questions and false reasoning behind climate lysenkoism, er, AGW.

Yes. Tracks from Back in Black, Number of the Beast, and 5150. Those were the first albums featuring Brian Johnson, Bruce Dickinson, and Sammy Hagar - all were new lead singers for those bands.

So you could have used something from "Images And Words," too.

The pens are branded "Tul" and the u has an umlet so that brand name is pronounced "Tool". If you choose the gel ink (rather than the ballpoint) and get the "medium" you will get a lovely and fluid writing instrument for the price of roughly $2 a piece (they come in 4-packs, so about $8 for your first purchase).

164 Empire stage Rome never figured a good method of succession, it was one of their greatest flaws. Inside dynasties going with an heir went badly more often then it went right, and when there was no ring dynasty it was catastrophic. During the crisis of the 3rd Century there were 26 Emperors in just a little over 50 years, and none of them died from “natural causes”.
And at the end of the western empire, the once great Roman legions were just barbarians hired to fight other barbarians by wealthy Romans who no longer cared to do any of the fighting themselves.

His tone did deteriorate over time. It was still great thru Fair Warning, and its hard to criticize much from 1984.

Interestingly, people in guitar forums give his almost as much credit for his rhythm guitar work as they do his solos.

I was blessed to see him live 3 times--the 1984 tour with David Lee Roth on vocals, the 2003 tour with Sammy, and the reunion tour with Roth in 2008. Great memories!

Stone goes even further in his book about LBJ. He theorizes that LBJ was a serial killer. Seriously. He points out 8 of his political opponents in the state of Texas died during a roughly 10 year period. There was no internet back then, nor any way for local Texas police offices to communicate with each other. The people who died mostly died due to "exhaust poisoning", and found in their cars as if they took their own lives via suicide. BUT one of LBJ's known associates was a *killer* who loved THAT exact method for taking his victims lives. Stone asserts that LBJ hired that man to kill his political opponents in Texas.

205 you will get a lovely and fluid writing instrument for the price of roughly $2 a piece

I’m a big fan of Fisher Space Pens. They will definitely cost more than that (the low end ones, which are just fine, will run around $12) and then will cost about $8 just to refill. But I always have a pen with me because I’m always writing, and these always work. The ink doesn’t stop flowing until there is no more ink left, so they last practically forever on one refill. Nor does it matter how I’m holding the writing surface. Upside down or right side up the ink still flows.

And when I’m trying to write my mileage down on a flimsy gas station receipt at 4°F they still work.

A closer one to look forward to is the cross-quarter point, which occurs around Feb 3. If you use the so-called "solar season" where the equinoxes and solstices defined the *middle* of the season, then the cross-quarter days mark the boundaries.

The Feb 3 cross-quarter date is a pretty good marker of when the days start to become noticeably longer and longer relative to the short winter days.

242 Prior to JFK Presidents used to travel everywhere in open car parades, usually standing up so the crowds could see them better. This was done since the first automobiles were purchased by the White House. Even after president elect FDR was almost smoked in a car in Miami, he did the traditional ride from the Capitol to the White House with Hoover in an open car.

Truman and Eisenhower did all kinds of auto parades in open cars, in Europe and South America. Harry used to go on daily walks around DC with just a single secret service agent. So there was absolutely nothing unusual about JFK doing yet another top down open car motorcade.

The route was only finalized about a week before, because they hadn’t settled on a venue yet. Oswald had only been working at the building for maybe a month. Texas School Book depository actually had two different locations, he was randomly assigned to that one by his boss.

247 Stone goes even further in his book about LBJ. He theorizes that LBJ was a serial killer. Seriously. He points out 8 of his political opponents in the state of Texas died during a roughly 10 year period. There was no internet back then, nor any way for local Texas police offices to communicate with each other. The people who died mostly died due to "exhaust poisoning", and found in their cars as if they took their own lives via suicide. BUT one of LBJ's known associates was a *killer* who loved THAT exact method for taking his victims lives. Stone asserts that LBJ hired that man to kill his political opponents in Texas.

The "NASA spent millions developing a space pen while the Rooskies used pencils" thing circulates widely, but is just an urban legend.

NASA originally used pencils. Mechanical pencils, and there was a scandal in the early 60s when it was discovered they paid over $120 per pencil. That was '60s dollars.

A regular wooden pencil would need sharpening, meaning shavings flying around. Graphite is conducting, and a short hazard floating around. After the Apollo fire, it was deemed a fire hazard.

Fisher developed the space pen entirely with its own money, spending about $1M on development. NASA didn't spend a dime on that.

They then bought them, and with a bulk discount, they paid a little over $2 per pen. The Rooskies also bought a bunch. The Rooskies noted the same problems we had with pencils, and used the new pens.

Good friend of mine was an EMT in NYC. Left the job after 9/11, for obvious reasons. Anyway, he'd say that whenever he got a call that had the phrase 'man in trouble' in it, he knew that something was up - the butt, that is. One call had him taking a man to the hospital with the legs of a Barbie doll sticking out of his rear. At the ER, the doc takes one look at the guy and says "I see that you have a Barbie doll sticking out of your butt. But I've got one question for you. Where's Ken?"

I begged our sons and DILs not to get the mRNA and no one in our family did. Told them it takes at least a decade to see if there are side effects, yada.Later mentioned weird stuff going on with female reproduction, etc. I mean, I begged them in the email and on the phone. For once, and it is at times rare, our sons listened to me. DIL went on to have two more babies.

I've had covid at least twice. Possibly 3 times as I was super sick in early 2023 with bad bronchitis.

For women to come out of menopause with mRNA vaccine it blew my mind a bit, the research I could find. And I looked. They don't know yet what it has done.

I think my sisters-in-laws get every jab out there but still healthy (and weird).

Due to frequent travel for business, we did get the J&J one jab and no one seems impacted then or now.Taken off the market right after we got it! Whee! It did no harm that we are aware of.

That was the super scary part for me. I'd look back at the 1918 Influenza epidemic and research cytokine storm.

The fact that docs in NYC initially were ignored on how to treat still ticks me off. Putting the patients on vents made them worse.

This one NYC doc and others said to treat them as if they had decompression sickness like with the bends,vs a typical pneumonia. Vents made the lungs stiff with covid. No one listened.

Some knew early on and yet the government/Fauci made it worse.

We are exposed to all sorts of toddler/now 2nd grade stuff weekly. In fact our toddler boy first gave us covid in early 2021...we did fine. He did the best at 3yrs old and unfazed.

His father gets the sickest, and sort of always has vs his brother in childhood. He gets sick more due to frequent air travel, sometimes international. They quarantine him and do ok.

Hope your son feels better soon.

339 Witnesses saw a man in the window on the 6th floor with a rifle. They thought he was an agent or security or whatever, and therefore did not alert a policeman just yards away. There was unprecedented security in Dallas that day, they had called everyone on duty. They didn’t sweep buildings and they didn’t round up Oswald.

Two guys were directly below Oswald on the 5th floor, they naturally clearly heard the shots, dust fell on them from the ceiling, heard the brass hitting the floor as cartridges were ejected.

351 I do believe there was a huge coverup, not because they were complicit, but because they were so incompetent and fucked up so badly. Lots of destroyed records I’m sure. It’s also just possible a secret service agent was startled when Oswald started firing and had a negligent discharge of the then-new AR-15 in the car immediately behind the presient’s Lincoln. You can see the agent standing up in one of AP photographer James Altgens pic.

Texas rep. Cale Yarborough was a World War 2 combat veteran, he was in the car immediately behind the car carrying secret service agents, and in an interview that same day claimed he smelled gunpowder “all the way to parkland”. He wouldn’t have smelled powder from the 6th floor of a building, but he sure would from the car in front of him.

I always enjoy reading your posts. Same with AOP.

Just to be clear, I didn't think February starting on a Sunday was more rare than on any other day. An earlier poster on another thread claimed a once in 800 year event in connection with this coming February. I thought perhaps there was a combination of February starting on Sunday and another unspecified rare event which made for the once in 800 years situation.

On a related note, I recall being a bit disappointed that we didn't have a double-leap year in 2000, meaning a Feb 30th, since 2000 is neatly divisible by 400 and I thought the next two decimal places in the number of days in a year was also '25' as in 365.2525 days in a year. At some point don't we have to account for those figures beyond 365.25?

The Gregorian 400 yr cycle estimates the mean tropical year indeed at 365.2425, or 365 + 97/400 days.

The actual mean tropical year as of epoch J2000 is 365.2421896698 ephemeris days. In mean solar days (earth's slower rotation) on J2000 that was 365.24217 mean solar days.

So the Gregorian still slightly overestimates the length of the tropical year, and that difference means a drift of about 1 day in 3200 years.

That's damn good, but still drifts. The problem is, at that level of precision, over ten millennia time scales, the wig-woggle in the astronomical cycles itself becomes significant, not to mention the secular slowing of the earth's rotation.

On this leg of the various Milankovich cycles, the tropical year is actually getting shorter, and then the earth is slowing down, long term.

That will make the drift in the Gregorian a little bit worse over the next couple thousand years. This will make the equinox be about 1 day behind around the year 3200, rather than expected 3200 + 1600 = year 4800 or so.

A ad-hoc thing that would sort of compensate for that would be to skip the leap year in 3200, then continute as normal to the year 4000, and then switch to a 500 yr rather than 400 year cycle.

This would average out over the long term about as best as could be done giving the uncertainties in the astronomical cycles and earth's rotation. It would initially underestimate the year on the front end, then overestimate on the back end, and average out over maybe 10 - 20K years. The equinox would drift maybe +/- days over that period.

I did a thorough enough search to satisfy me that contrindications are about zero. ChristyBlinky has mentioned that it can ifluence hearts that have fibrulation problems. I've had atrial fibrulation, an ablation, a shock to get it in rhythm and other mechanical devices.

I've done (not at one time) one and 3/4 tubes of paste, that's probably (recollection) 6 times (it's measured on the syringe) and no problems but the symptoms went away.

Not a "Tommy gun" (delayed blowback action), we already have a 30.06 fully automatic weapon - the BAR. No 50 round drum available for it, but the drum was not the standard mag for the Thompson either. Most of the Tommy guns used in WW2 used the 20 round "stick" magazine which was much more reliable. The standard mag for the BAR was 20 rounds, too. My stepfather loved the Thompson he carried across France and into Germany, but he also loved have a BAR guy in his squad. The BAR was THE gun out in the open fields, but the T was just the ticket in the towns.

62 We had a mutt when I was a kid that was the smartest dog I've ever come across. We were at my grandparents house one day and we had the dogs out in my grandfather's rose garden. I watched from the house as she opened the latch on the garden gate and then push the gate open and hold it open to let our Golden out first and then followed him out.

Crazy smart dog.

Posted by: JackStraw at December 30, 2025 07:53 PM (viF8m)

Some dogs, if they are observant and watch what their humans are doing closely, will figure out how to move latches or get through obstacles like we do.

Most are just not there.
They grasp balls, toys, food bowls and going outside to poop.
Anything else is our problem.

What strikes me is that several high level officials recognized that there was no co-existing with the Soviets, it was incompatible with the West, yet there plenty who looked the other way or were even apologists for murderous regimes.

The parallels with Islam and the Moslem world are similar in some ways. It’s sobering to think that for a “cold” war millions were killed.

China has always had problems with truth-telling to the powers that be. One of the hallmarks of dynastic decline was the tendency to shoot the messenger or otherwise cover up problems rather than deal with them.

Now add the inherent dishonesty of Communism to the mix and you've got a seriously toxic brew. I'm increasingly skeptical of all of China's military claims. The Russians at least had a racial paranoia that made them want to make their weapons work, but China doesn't really repel invaders, it absorbs them, and anyway military careers bring no prestige in Chinese society. Russia always respects ruthless warriors.

One Golden I had would freeze if he happened to bump into a wall while wearing a Cone of Shame. Had no idea how to back up.

My current Golden figured out how to open all the doors in the house, whether they opened in or out, when he was just a few months old. They were lever style, so had to change all the doorknobs to regular round shape. Remarkably he figured out how to work them too, so I had to put baby guards on all the exterior door doorknobs.

152 Altho my first love is a Golden Retriever, due to the three we've had in our family...I have to say a corgi pup would find a home here.

Based on how goofy and cute the one burying her bone was. I like their little legs. No idea if they bark a lot, as I am not keen on barky dogs. Golden's are pretty quiet. Our son's do bark if someone is at the door, which is good. Otherwise are quiet doggies.

Our own Shelby never barked unless someone was in HIS empty lot next door in FL. This enraged him to the point he got a ruff down his spine as he growled and barked, like a Rhodesian Ridgeback. What he'd have done if anyone popped out of the lot and over the wooden fence would be to hide behind me.

Best idea of 2025! I would add to a one way ticket goFundme, but we know it would go to Congress.

In an airport once I was going to get a frozen yogurt. Took one look at the Somolian womman behind the counter and nope! I'd rather not chance it with those hands touching my food.

Not that I eat much when I fly to begin with, as if I am going down I ain't harfing at the same time. Have never been airsick, so turbulence is no problem. Even after the Dutch roll and losing thousands of feet, nothing escaped from my body and nor did I scream (because it was too fast and I am not a screamer).

One of my goofy sister-in-law's is a fearful person. Nervous flyer. She was alone once, on a fast 1hr flight, and hit turbulence. She screamed, "We are going down!" and had to be assisted by a flight attendent. I would have slapped her like that movie, Airplane (why I am not a flight attendent, but was a RN. I just got permission to drug people who made a scene instead).

A big astrophysics story that's all abuzz, and getting me all tingly and excited. Meet AT2025ulz:
https://is.gd/jNMDR9

It's a supernova. And a kilonova. Thus, a superkilonova.

This is some insane physics. Back in 2020 or so, a very rare, exotic core collapse mechanism was proposed as a way to form sub-solar mass neutron stars. Anyway, if you have very massive star, spinning so fast it's near the limit, it can form two neutron stars when it explodes in a supernova. Those two little buggers are so close together they inspiral and merge into a kilonova within hours or days.

And now one has actually been seen. It was Somali astrophysicists who modelled that, of course.

UVB-76, known as the Buzzer or the Doomsday station, is a mysterious shortwave broadcast that has been on the air since the 1970s.

Its purpose has never been officially explained, and conspiracy theorists spend hours listening to the signal, debating supposed “secret codes and messages.”

So how should we interpret the latest transmission?
A soundtrack for the flight of the Oreshnik?

Fun fact, Swan Lake was repeatedly broadcast across Soviet state television during the August Coup in August 1991.

If anyone was harfing in the hospital I did not fool around with the little kidney shaped bowls (for tooth brushing), but grabbed the plastic bath bin instead. I ain't no fool. I do regret not being a millionaire inventing the harf bag (our grands parents carry them everywhere).

222 OT, fun story. I was stationed with one of the last USMC outfits flying F8Ks. Word came down that we had to prep four or five and go to Kuwait (which at the time nobody heard of) and essentially put on a sales demonstration. Got them repainted in neutral colors and insignia, packed the trash, personnel issued coveralls (no uniforms) and, boom, op cancelled. Somebody at State said it might not be a very good idea to sell airplanes named the Crusader to Kuwait. They bought a bunch of A4s.

GET OUT! I don't care, either, if you came here and popped out with a day to spare from your mamacita's womb. For better health care or to have dual citizenship as Mama brings you back to Tijuana when you are 3dys old. Then you come back at 17yrs to join the Crips.

GET OUT! ALL of you! The husbands of the bozo white women who want a Green Card and let that lapse. GET OUT! Take the bozo and your bambinos with you! OUT OUT OUT

I want to report a family in a rental down the street. I have noticed, since Cinco de Mayo, they are much quieter than that ruckus all night long. I think multiple families. Some sort of roofing business on expensive trucks.

As Questions About Ilan "Omar's" Sudden Fortune Grow, Her Husband Begins Deleting Information from His "Venture Capital" Website

Venture capital, huh?

Bet he has a lot of Somali "investors."

Embattled Rep. Ilhan Omar's husband's venture capital firm quietly scrubbed key officer details -- including former Obama officials -- as scrutiny grows over the family's skyrocketing wealth, The Post has learned.

Omar (D-Minn.) went from nearly broke to being worth up to $30 million in just a year -- as a massive, up to $9 billion fraud scheme involving the Somali community in her district unfolded right under her nose in the North Star State.

Close to 90 people have been charged so far, including at least three with direct ties to the lefty "Squad" member, though she has not been accused of wrongdoing.

It was Somalia-born Omar -- who was seen in a resurfaced video last month dishing out food in a restaurant now at the heart of the scandal -- who introduced the legislation that critics say paved the way for what the feds have called the largest fraud of the pandemic.

The Jimmy Choo-wearing socialist introduced the MEALS Act in Congress in 2020, relaxing oversight of government-sponsored children's meal programs during the pandemic, which critics say allowed fraudsters to claim they served millions of meals without verification, while pocketing millions of dollars in government subsidies.

Shortly after the scheme played out, Omar's husband, political consultant Tim Mynett, launched Rose Lake Capital, a venture capital management firm, in 2022.


The company saw its reported value go from nearly zero in 2023 to between $5 million and $25 million in just a year, and touted its officers' $60 billion in "previous" assets under management -- an amount many Wall Street money managers only dream of.

"There's a lot of strange things going on," said Paul Kamenar, counsel to the National Legal and Policy Center. "She was basically broke when she came into office and now she's worth perhaps up to $30 million ... she needs to come clean on these assets."

Rose Lake Capital, which touts its "deep global networks built from on-the-ground work in more than 80 countries," had less than $1,000 in assets in 2023, according to Omar's financial disclosure.

Yet despite the reported windfall, the business's only address is a WeWork in DC, according to its LinkedIn page.

WeWork is a business that lets you rent out temporary, shared office space. So this multimillion dollar "global" capital venture firm doesn't have an actual permanent office.

Between September and October -- when federal prosecutors announced charges against eight more individuals, including six of Somali descent, for their roles in the welfare scheme -- the names and bios of Rose Lake Capital's nine officers and advisers were removed from the website. None of them were charged in the fraud.

These names include lobbyist and former Obama Ambassador to Bahrain Adam Ereli; former Senator and Obama Ambassador to China Max Baucus; DNC Finance Chair associate Alex Hoffman; former DNC treasurer William Derrough; and former ex-CEO of Amalgamated Bank Keith Mestrich, who once described Amalgamated as "the institutional bank of the Democratic Party."

Meanwhile, Mynett's other business, a California winery that previously faced fraud allegations and was declared a failed venture in 2023, was suddenly worth between $1 million and $5 million in 2024 -- a windfall of 9,900%.

Sounds like money laundering. "To conceal the source of money as by channeling it through an intermediary."

...

It too is listed as operating out of a WeWork, and doesn't appear to actually sell any wines anymore, according to extensive internet searches.

Despite the high worth placed on the business, its website is a broken link, the phone number is disconnected and the last social media post for the winery dates back to 2023.

"While working families were being ripped off by a massive welfare scam, Omar's campaign took money from convicted fraudsters, her husband launched a firm that suddenly ballooned in value, and [Minnesota Gov.] Tim Walz looked the other way," according to Kiersten Pels, spokesperson for the Republican National Committee.


...


Mynett did not return The Post's messages, and both his businesses' numbers were not working.

Suddenly the blindfold was ripped off my face and here's the ugly answer: Somolians and other "charity" that goes straight to the pockets of politicians. A pity channel. Home Health Care and daycares that don't exist. Medical transportation that does not exist.

Meanwhile, as an added bonus of mass voting blocs for Dims, polluting the population with rape, probable child trafficking, and theft of stores as well as tax payers, here's the answer in the last days of 2025!

It all simply clicked with one guy: Nick Shirley.

Elon Musk uncovered the tip of the iceberg, nothing was really done. Nick Shirley dove deeper and saw the larger theft below the surface.

The scales fell from my eyes years ago, when some Los Angeles-based NGO touted the fact that they had supplied tents to homeless people on Skid Row.

At a reported cost of $100,000 per tent.

The NGO hoovered up grants, made its officers rich, and diverted funds to the right politicians. It was purely incidental that a handful of bums got $80 tents out of the deal.

BTW, 18 U.S.C 1325 (which covers illegal entry, i.e., border jumping, immigration fraud, etc.) first offense is a misdemeanor, punishable by fine and up to 6 months in the pokey; any subsequent violation is a felony, punishable by up to 2 years in federal daycare. All illegal aliens are, by definition, criminals, and more than a few are felons by virtue of being multiple violators of 18-1325.

You know what frosts my nuts is the fact that any government organization will go back decades to get money they think they are owed.


I went to tech school on the GI bill after I got out of the Army in 1978. I went for 2 semesters and realized it wasn't for me and told them it wasn't working. The VA sent them the checks and everything was good when I quit. Fast forward some years later and the VA came after me for $300 claiming that the school hadn't submitted attendance records for my second semester. I was in the Navy then overseas and the school had closed, I told them all of this in a letter and that seemed to be it. After I retired from the Navy in 1999 I got a letter from the VA saying they were garnishing my retirement check for $300.


Two decades later they came after me for $300 that I didn't owe but these people get a free pass on $8 BILLION in fraud.

165 The opposite is also true. A company I was associated with had the entire top floor of a mid rise building. C19 hit. Office closed. We developed a WFH culture. Lease Ended. Didn't Renew. Had token office at a WeWork for the occasional meetings with clients post C19.

IOW, WeWork, Galvanize and the other shared office companies picked up a lot of companies that didn't return after the lock-downs and didn't renew leases.

170 Other than the empty offices, deserted buildings, etc...what struck me was this. One building would have a Home Health Care (empty) office, one after the other, down a hall. Doors locked. No tresspassing signs. Deserted buildings.

Repeated several times in different areas. Or the "childcare centers." None of the childcare centers had windows or playgrounds that you could see. Much less playgrounds with fences, where one could see children playing, or footprints in the snow.

Capitalists don't want to be in the same building with similar offices. I guess no one explained to Somolians the key idea about competition right next door. Key in this country to success. Walz and Company are just as stupid, as this is totally abnormal to see.

Red flag after red flag after a charging bull obvious to the "auditors."

I am not brilliant but it was obvious to me.

I have to ask as well: where were the MD's who wrote orders for Home Health Care for these companies. 1st, it is against federal law to send a patient (in hospital) to one vs giving a family a list to choose from (due to MD's in the past having partial ownership and kickbacks).2nd it takes a MD order for Home Health Care.

A recent video by conservative YouTuber Nick Shirley alleged nearly a dozen day care centers in Minnesota that are receiving public funds are not actually providing any service. After the video went viral, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced a "massive investigation on childcare and other rampant fraud" in the state.

CBS News conducted its own analysis of nearly a dozen day care centers mentioned by Shirley: all but two have active licenses, according to state records, and all active locations were visited by state regulators within the last six months. CBS News' review also found dozens of citations related to safety, cleanliness, equipment, and staff training, among other violations, but there was no recorded evidence of fraud.

177 WeWork is such a great idea it went bankrupt in 2023.

Posted by: JackStraw at December 30, 2025 07:12 PM

Via Grok:

Yeah, WeWork's original hyper-growth model under Adam Neumann was a spectacular flameout — peaking at a $47 billion valuation before the failed 2019 IPO exposed the insanity, and it finally filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 2023.

But here's the twist: it successfully restructured and emerged from bankruptcy in June 2024 as a leaner, privately held company. They shed $4 billion in debt, slashed future rent obligations by over $12 billion, closed unprofitable locations (down to around 600 globally), and got new ownership led by Yardi Systems.

Fast-forward to late 2025: WeWork is profitable again (positive EBITDA for months, aiming for full profitability), occupancy in key markets like NYC is hitting 85%, they're expanding partnerships, and even releasing upbeat reports on flexible work trends. The core idea of coworking/flex space wasn't the problem — it was the reckless execution and overexpansion.

The scam as old as AFDC welfare program. Often when the investigator came in, kids were borrowed from the other tenement dwellers or from siblings to pad the count for benefits. An old NY State case dealt with NY policy of surprise AFDC inspections which often caught boyfriends, no kids, and other issues for welfare cheats. The surprise inspections were no longer allowed after that.

Goldberg v. Kelly was another Scotus decision (1970) that essentially equalled welfare benefits with a property interest. That means a pre termination hearing before suspending benefits, cross examination of witnesses, etc. and that a post termination hearing must be held to allow reinstate of benefits if the hearing officer found the state in error for termination.

A change in disposition where in 1970, foodstamps and AFDC welfare was regarded as shameful, now, recipients call it a job.

Fake patients (Somolians). Fake everything.

Your father needs home health care after surgery. Hospital case manager makes a referral, based on who you choose. The rep from the HHC (Home Health Care) agency visits and works it all out with the family. The hospital case mgr has already figured out what the patient needs in regard to equipment.

The patient is discharged and NO ONE SHOWS UP for the initial evaluation, which she/he reports to the MD who ordered the HHC. Someone would call, amirite?

THERE ARE NO PATIENTS requring home health care or transportation.

THERE ARE NO CHILDREN requiring childcare. One report said when one place opened the "parent" paraded the kid in, then out to the car shortly afterwards. "Parent" given an envelope with his share of the kickback. This was when it first opened years ago. Since then? No kids at all, I'd guess.

Perhaps some of these nasty Somolians were using these empty spaces as their "homes."

With Discovery of Rampant Somali Piracy, Small Business Administration Head Kelly Loeffler Stops Federal Grants to Minnesota

Closing the barn doors after Biden let the horse thieves empty it.

SBA halts grants to Minnesota in wake of fraud scandal

Small Business Administration (SBA) head Kelly Loeffler said Monday that her department is halting annual grants to Minnesota, amid an investigation into alleged fraud in COVID-era lending programs.

Loeffler said on the social platform X that the SBA is pausing yearly funding to Minnesota "while we investigate $430 million in suspected [Paycheck Protection Program] fraud across the state."

The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) was established by the 2020 CARES Act, which passed Congress and was signed into law by President Trump during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The House Committee on Small Business has launched a probe into "fraud and concealment" within the PPP and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program, also formed during the pandemic.

Loeffler sent a letter last week to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) outlining at least $2.5 million in PPP and EIDL loans sent to individuals indicted as part of a wide-ranging investigation into fraud involving Minnesota's social services.

So I assume the scam would involve foreign fraudsters claiming that they had going businesses, employing, of course, their mentally retarded criminal family members, and took "loans" from the federal government to keep these unemployed lowlife parasites "employed" in their jobs of sitting around collecting welfare from actual Americans.


Loeffler explains herself at Fox News:



When the news broke of convictions for rampant fraud across several pandemic programs in Minnesota, the $1 billion price tag and over 90 indictments were staggering. We now know this is a very low estimate of the price Americans have paid to fund deeply corrupt state-administered welfare programs.

The criminal nature of the scandal rocked the country: a vast network of Somali nonprofits systematically ripped off federal programs and denied Minnesota families of vital services at the height of the pandemic. In defrauding programs for nutrition, education and healthcare, the massive and sophisticated enterprise siphoned billions in taxpayer dollars.

Thanks to lax oversight under Democrat Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, organized crime crept in and then brazenly flourished. Even when dozens of whistleblowers repeatedly raised concerns to state oversight bodies and to his own office, Walz simply blamed racism and shrugged off the allegations.

The governor recently defended the state's "generosity" which allowed Somali fraudsters to purchase luxury cars, homes and vacations at the expense of hungry Minnesotans. Its welfare state is widely considered a magnet for those seeking to become beneficiaries. Alarmingly, welfare is now the state's single-largest annual expenditure -- higher than education, highways and public safety.

But new investigations have revealed that fraud runs much deeper than initially suspected, including at the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).

During the pandemic, the agency issued $1.2 trillion in loans, helping save millions of small businesses and jobs. Much of that lending was legitimate, and many of the loans were forgiven, consistent with the 2020 CARES Act legislation. But the program was expanded in 2021 and became rife with fraud -- at least $200 billion, most of which went completely unaddressed and largely forgiven under the Biden administration.

At my direction, SBA launched an investigation into the Minnesota fraudsters. It took just days to find about $3 million in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans and COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) for numerous indicted nonprofits, including groups like Feeding our Future and Action for East African People.

With this disproportionate level of possible fraud -- and ongoing allegations arising across other federal programs -- we broadened our scope to investigate every COVID-19 loan granted in Minnesota. In a matter of weeks, we uncovered a staggering 13,600 PPP loans that were flagged for fraud but later approved, totaling about $430 million in potentially fraudulent funds that should have been used to save Main Street jobs and businesses. In many cases, the loans were forgiven entirely.


On Dec. 23, I informed the governor that SBA has halted about $5.5 million in annual funding to Minnesota pending further review, in an effort to prevent taxpayer dollars in a state that clearly lacks appropriate controls to responsibly steward federal funds. And we are actively working with our law enforcement partners to hold criminals accountable for the possible pandemic-era fraud now under investigation.

One thing is clear: the sheer breadth of fraud in Minnesota proves that the abuse of federal dollars is endemic to the state's welfare system -- and the logical consequence of socialist programs designed to pump out funding without accountability. Other states should be on notice.

...

With over 80 federal welfare programs that spend $1 trillion annually, there is much work to do. The Trump administration is aggressively pursuing bad actors and implementing reforms to protect welfare programs for real American families who need it -- while also ensuring it is a lifeline, not a lifestyle.

Leaders in Minnesota have not been interested in or capable of meeting that mission, and the developing scandals raise serious questions about what may be going on in states like California and Illinois. The Trump administration is committed to exposing welfare abuse everywhere it exists -- and enforcing accountability in states that have allowed fraud to fester at the expense of law-abiding Americans and taxpayers.

It might not be just Somali fraud rings plundering our nation:

38 With over 80 federal welfare programs that spend $1 trillion annually, there is much work to do. The Trump administration is aggressively pursuing bad actors and implementing reforms to protect welfare programs for real American families who need it -- while also ensuring it is a lifeline, not a lifestyle.

If I had to guess - and I do - half or two thirds of welfare dollars are probably stolen. Some programs are worse than others.

For example, did you know many states will *help* you commit disability fraud? They will, usually with a euphemism like "navigator." If you're a welfare case, they want you on SSDI because SSDI is federal whereas others - particularly Medicaid - are partially or fully state-funded. If they can get you off *their* rolls and onto the FedGov's, they want to - and they will help you cheat to do it.

39 Loeffler really ticks me off - this statement is pure crap: "The governor recently defended the state's "generosity" which allowed Somali fraudsters to purchase luxury cars, homes and vacations at the expense of hungry Minnesotans."

The taxpayers are the victims here. That's why it's treated as barely a crime, not quite as serious as shoplifting.

40 I like that the heads are turning towards this culture of fraud disguised as diversity, but it is H-U-G-E and varied.

I've seen countless articles (in the US and Canada) relative to double brokering on trucking companies. The second party sets up a false business, the first company approved by the shipper "subcontracts" to the second, who promptly pick up the load and said load disappears with no way to trace it. Or, they get paid up front and never even show to pick it up. Double brokering is growing exponentially, and centers primarily around Indian owned trucking companies (and there is almost always a Singh involved).

There is a single address in California that over 200 different trucking companies use as their "HQ".

Now, one could have a discussion as to whether the feds should be involved in this stuff at all, but I think we can all agree that if they're going to do that, the money should go to those for whom it was intended.

In this case, it was intended to keep small businesses from going bankrupt during COVID. Not to subsidize Bhuttfuck-Bhuttfuck Golli's 57 cousins in Mogadishu.

Frankly, after the "Black Hawk Down" incident, there shouldn't even BE a Mogadishu. It should have been wiped from the face of the earth as thoroughly as ancient Carthage.

130 Yes, the SBA Covid fraud was massive.

And directed by DC, who told everyone warning them about the fraud, "just get the money out."

And worse? There are thousands of American citizens in debt collection hell because of that.
Because these loans were taken out in their name and there is zero, nothing the SBA can do to forgive or remove the debt from their name.
Like, literally, it will require an act of Congress before the SBA can legally remove their name from the loan.
And neither party will do anything b/c it started under Trump and was encouraged by Biden.

It was designed to deal with criminal enterprises that had 'lots of buffers.' Beyond a simple conspiracy case because it covers bad people doing bad things without having knowledge of the greater RICO scheme.

To bring a RICO case you need two or more RICO predicates. 'Murder for hire' is one, as you'd expect
But another is "Bringing in, aiding or assisting aliens in illegally entering the country (if the action was for financial gain);"

If you have the right facts, RICO is a killer.

We're seeing more and more of these potential RICO cases popping up with leaks and exposures which will enrage John Q Public. This isn't an accident. Trump is about to settle all family business.

Nice, but far too merciful.

1) Drop a load of garden seeds every few months, along with manual agricultural tools (hoes, shovels, rakes). Or not -- you could just make them use digging sticks.

2) Have drones flying over to film the inevitable murder and enslavement spree.

3) Sell the film on pay-per-view.

4) Profit.

218 And now, from Bass Ackwards World . . .

As a teen in 1994, Hedquist murdered another teen because he was afraid she's snitch on him for stealing things.

He drove her down a logging road, shot her, and dumped her body.

After 27 years in prison, the woke former governor decided he deserved a second chance (thereby denying justice to the victim's family and friends).

Fast forward to December 8, 2025, and the Salem city council exuberantly RE-appointed him to oversee the community's law enforcement efforts after his future on the board was called up for a vote due to his criminal record.

City Councilor Mai Vang said Hedquist "brings a perspective that most of us don't have."

Last night, the DAily Mail had some footage from a sting operation some MN prosecutor ran back in *2015*. They had footage of Somali parents bringing kids to these daycare centers, then picking them back up a few minutes. It was scam to pretend children were actually going through the door.

Then, also on footage, then have the daycare workers giving envelopes to the parents when they picked their kids up a few minutes later.

And that was 10 years ago. Looks like they learned they didn't even have to go through the motions of faking kids coming in, and thus saved the payoff payments to the "parents" or whoever would bring in a group of kids to fake.

One of the old-time science fiction writers told a story about that. During the Great Depression, they'd go down to a local restaurant that had free hot water (for tea) and free saltines.

They'd use the catsup bottle and the hot water to make "tomato soup", to which they'd then add the saltines.

According to him, the waiters knew exactly what they were doing, and never said a word.

Here it is:

@MikeBenzCyber: CIA own documents CONFIRM:

The domestic terrorist Ilhan Omar was a Barack Obama CIA operation.

Since the fourth branch of the U.S. government couldn’t get what it wanted from Congress,

Barack Obama resorted to bringing large numbers of immigrants from so-called ‘shithole’ countries, concentrating them in one state. These new residents then voted to elect a congressperson from their community, who would advance policies favorable to their home country and the strategic goals of the CIA.

We now see the same pattern in Minnesota, Dearborn, Michigan, New York City….

No criminal could commit so many crimes from immigration fraud to ballot fraud and escape accountability——unless the fourth branch of the U.S. government is protecting her. All while getting filthy rich.

And the consequences are now repeating… in Minnesota, Dearborn, Michigan, and New York City…

319 What Does an IQ of 65 Mean in Practical Terms?

An IQ score of around 65 falls within the range typically associated with mild intellectual disability. Individuals with IQs in this range may experience:

Difficulties with abstract reasoning: This includes problems with understanding complex concepts and solving problems that require thinking outside the box.
Challenges in academic settings: Learning can be slower and require more individualized attention. Individuals may struggle with reading, writing, and arithmetic.
Limited adaptive skills: This refers to difficulties with everyday tasks such as personal hygiene, managing money, or navigating public transportation

There are certain countries who are Godless--they have existed for centuries on end without any appreciable exposure to Christianity and thus have nothing in common with cultures that are founded on Judeo-Christian principles. Some of them seem harmless (Japan), and some are literally threats (China), but dealing with anyone from those countries on any issue large or small is more complicated than dealing with one of our own.

Entertainment and Media Sector Sheds 17,000 Jobs in 2025, Up 18% from 2024's Job Losses

Survive until 2025, they said after covid and the twin strikes, expecting that 2025 would be a comeback year for the media.

That has not happened.

And 2026 will be worse.

The media is dying. It's finally dying and nothing can save it now.

The entertainment and media industries bled more than 17,000 jobs in 2025, the latest in a brutal, ongoing contraction that's left newsrooms, studios and streaming giants hollowed out by consolidation, cost-cutting and the accelerating use of artificial intelligence.

US-based media companies spanning TV, film, digital publishing and broadcast announced 17,163 job cuts through November, an 18% increase from 2024, according to data from Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

Layoffs surged fivefold in 2023 compared to the prior year as companies moved aggressively to slash costs, unwind failed growth bets and prepare investors for a leaner future.

In corporate business generally -- not just the media -- 54,000 jobs were lost to AI automation. That will eventually decimate the media.

...

The Paramount Skydance merger led to the elimination of roughly 2,000 positions, while Warner Bros. Discovery and NBCUniversal each launched their own restructuring campaigns this past year -- cutting staff ahead of planned cable spinoffs as traditional television revenue continued to erode.

Newsrooms continue to be hard hit, with advertising declines and shifting audience habits forcing publishers to shrink.

News organizations logged 2,254 job cuts this year, including 179 in November. The total actually marked a 50% drop from last year's pace, according to Challenger data.

The Washington Post, which billionaire owner Jeff Bezos has sought to overhaul, cut roughly 4% of its workforce around the start of the year -- about 100 ink-stained wretches -- after posting an estimated $100 million loss in 2024 tied in part to digital ad weakness.

CNN eliminated about 200 jobs early in 2025 as it pivoted toward digital operations and prepared for corporate restructuring tied to its parent's cable strategy, while CBS News laid off about 100 staffers in October and canceled multiple streaming news programs.

Hollywood's creative collapse will bring down the movie exhibition industry -- theaters -- as well.

Some comeback!

The past 12 months were supposed to turn things around for struggling cinemas. But instead of heralding a dramatic return to moviegoing, 2025 is running neck-and-neck with the middling 2024 box office, and will fall far short of the $9 billion in domestic ticket sales that most analysts expected the theatrical movie business to easily eclipse. Prior to the pandemic, North American revenues would regularly hit between $10 billion to $11 billion. The 2025 results are a massive disappointment that no amount of spin can change. (Already there's talk of how much better 2026 will be.)

Yes but they thought 2025 would be better. "Survive until 25."


"There's an unfortunate trend, which that we just can't get the industry to $9 billion at the domestic box office," says Mike Sherrill, the chief operating officer of dine-in cinema chain Alamo Drafthouse. "It looks like it's going to be two years in a row that the industry flatlined."


More worrisome is the reality that many of the movie business's biggest franchises are showing signs of oversaturation or fatigue. Marvel continued to struggle with its B Team heroes; February's "Captain America: Brave New World" and May's "Thunderbolts" lost tens of millions during their theatrical runs, while July's "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" will only eke out a modest profit. And even though "Avatar: Fire and Ash" ($760 million and counting), "Wicked: For Good" ($504 million) and "Jurassic World Rebirth" ($869 million) will rank among the year's top-grossing releases, they will fail to match the revenues of previous films in their respective series. Clearly, the theatrical industry can't thrive on sequels and spinoffs alone.


It would be easy to declare an end to comic book movies. That said, genres have risen and fallen throughout Hollywood history -- just look at musicals or westerns or raunchy comedies, which have faded in popularity after once being surefire draws. What really has theater owners and some studio chiefs concerned as the year closes out is what the future will hold if Netflix is able to secure government approval for its $82.7 billion deal to buy Warner Bros. Already, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos has hinted that he believes that "windows," industry jargon for the amount of time that movies play exclusively in theaters, are too long. He told Wall Street shortly after the pact was announced that he expects that they will "evolve" in a more "consumer friendly" direction. Everyone knows exactly what he meant by that.

Yes, they mean that they're going to crush theatrical exhibition and set themselves up as a monopoly for showing movies. I can't see how the Justice Department can approve this.

Don't worry, Netflix knows exactly what the public wants to see.

A series of teenagers coming out as gay, from sea to fabulous sea.

Critics are review-bombing "Stranger Things'" penultimate episode, calling character Will Byers' coming-out scene "cringey" and accusing the creators of prioritizing politics over storytelling.

In the show's most recent episode, "The Bridge," Will gathers all his friends and family for a tearful confession, telling them that he's just like his friends in almost every way -- except, he says, "I don't like girls." Fans noted that the timing of his monologue seemed odd and forced, as the cast was in the middle of trying to defeat Vecna, the series' villain.

"Woke ruins everything," one user wrote on X, blasting the development as "LGBTQ+ nonsense."

"Netflix decided to RUIN their most popular show of all-time, Stranger Things, by focusing their final season on Will coming out as a homosexual, promoting the propaganda that Will's superpowers are because he's 'embraced his sexuality' & the villain telling Will that his friends won't like him if they find out he likes dudes..." he added.

Another user said, "How did Stranger Things go from such a great show to the only way they could defeat Vecna is if Will tells everyone he's gay first."

Brandon Leslie, founder and CEO of Florida's Voice and RightLine news, also weighed in by seizing on a tweet that discussed creators Matt and Ross Duffer's intent for the scene, more specifically that Byers had to face his fears and accept himself in order to fully face Vecna.

"Netflix is doubling down on pushing the gay agenda -- the 16-year-old boy couldn't kill a dark magic demon unless he came out of the closet," he wrote, adding, "Horrible and forced."

The now-infamous scene wasn't the only source of upset, as other fans critiqued the final season's pacing, acting, plot and more.

...

One user likened the latest season to "Game of Thrones," arguing that both were too rushed to adequately complete the story.

I watched the first season and quit watching in the second season, two or three shows in. I never understood the hype. It was a semi-cute idea, but... who cares.

12 The Stranger Things example is a good one.

Netflix produced something a bit different then other entertainment - very much a throw back to the 80s and with a sort of old school SF vibe.

Season 5 though is playing out like it is set in 2022, not 1987. The big thing with Will being gay and all his friends "supporting him for coming out" is a major outlier, but the characters don't sound like they in the 80s either anymore.

18 Oh and another thing with Will being gay in Stranger Things...

As a preteen he was abducted by an older man Vecna, who tied him up, and stuck his "tentacle" down Will's throat until he left some of his essence inside Will which, obviously, traumatized him.

This is an SF take on pedophilia and yes this is how gay men come to be gay...

I wonder if they've considered a series of films centered on an unattractive woman whose only flaw is failing to realize how awful heterosexual, white men are.

I can believe this because clearly they did NOT write Season One, which was good.

this season absolutely it seems like they used AI for dialogue. it's hilarious. someone ran the dialog thru an AI detector and it came back "AI"

it's so bad it's funny

56 It would be easy to declare an end to comic book movies. That said, genres have risen and fallen throughout Hollywood history -- just look at musicals or westerns or raunchy comedies, which have faded in popularity after once being surefire draws.

It would be because it's true. However, that trend is coincident with the trend of movie theaters becoming obsolete. Both are true. I'm shattered, truly.

30 The solution, obviously, is to make everything even more stupid and gay. They have not yet reached the stupid / gay peak this more to go

Since we're talking trends, the question is whether they'll still be pushing big gay when the last paying customer walks out of the last movie theater and says "never again".

73 I'm thinking the AI boom may simply eliminate the Entertainment and Media Sector. And learning to code will not be an escape because much of that market is saturated and outsourced, too.

How much content is recycled in Entertainment and Media? So optimizing AI to collate and regurgitate will be relatively trivial. And CGI has been realigning the Entertainment industry for, now, decades.

It's hard to feel sorry for them. I'd like to have empathy, but the contempt that has been directed to middle America and traditional values for generations has forced me not to care. Maybe, after thirty years into the wilderness, they'll have their souls purged of their animus. Alas, AI will have made such introspection futile by then.

The story concerns an elusive serial killer with a mysterious agenda. The movie itself is presented as a true crime documentary that slowly eases into the supernatural.

This is a tough one to recommend mostly because it is not the feel good movie of the year, and the depiction of the aftermath of "Mr Shiny"s crimes.

The writer/director obviously was inspired by "Seven". "Strange Harvest" isn't as good a movie as "Seven" but it does get under your skin in the same way.

If that sounds like something you might like, you will.

LOL, I was going to include a review of that. I bought it and watched it too nights ago.

I didn't love it. The cops didn't talk like cops and the serial killer didn't act like a serial killer. I know they wanted to have him do different, varied methods of murder, but serial killers usually don't do that.

If anyone is interested, the movie is very Lovecraftian. Which is... I dunno. I think that's now a bit overdone in 2025.

130 I have been watching stuff on Prime that the Drinker recommends. And watching the Mighty Nein. Caught up on Vox Machina. I watched Warfare the other night and it's not a movie I'd watch twice - just like Blackhawk Down, at least I can't watch that twice.

Vox Machina was rambling and badly written. Mighty Nein is WAY better but it always rubs me the wrong way when they put 21st century tropes, cultural mores, and speech patterns into D&D fantasy. They don't have to talk in Middle English, and bad language has existed forever, but talking in foul-mouthed Gen Alpha brainrot just jolts me right out of the story. Along with half of the population being gay or bi. I swear, it's like some kind of scripting requirement now.

191 183 One other amusing Stranger Things failure, back in season 2 (?) they introduced another girl with magic powers who was another survivor of the program that created Eleven.

And...the idea sucked. The execution sucked. The new character sucked and on and on...so they just sort of killed the idea off and the new character, Kali, just disappeared from the show.

But they brought her back in Season 5 and the Duffer brothers specifically said it was because they were mad the fans made them get rid of the idea back in S2...

Oddly one of the better takes of the US military in a big budget movie was one of the Transformers movies - they actually start using rail guns and the like on the Decepticons.

203 I have watched Stranger Things since the beginning.

It started out good then just collapsed into rehashes of the same plot.

This 'revelation' was obvious last season.

The problem with it is less the culture war sexuality but that this season has been so dull, so boring, so inane . . . I did not even notice that segment. Completely glossed past it. I read about it only and wondered when it happened because I did not remember it at all.

When the entire thing is so bad the virtue signaling is lost in an ocean of blandness . . . does it make a sound?

208 My theory is that Will Byers became gay because Vecna/Henry Creel (who is a homosexual) molested Byers in Season 1 when Byers was stuck in the Upside Down

Henry being a child molester and himself having been molested, "flaying" his mind, is actually the undercurrent that would work best.

Will Byers' gayness was hinted at in the first season when he was taunted for being a queer, and it seemed to hit home harder than if it was just the usual "fag!" insult. I don't mind his coming out , it was the protracted weepiness that set my teeth on edge. I wanted everyone in the group to shout "WE KNOW, WILL! WE'VE KNOWN FOREVER!" and move on quickly.

Illinois tipped workers to continue paying state taxes on tips

Tipped workers in Illinois will continue to pay state taxes on their tips, as the state has chosen not to adopt a recent federal tax policy change. The federal tax code, altered by the "One Big Beautiful Bill," allows tipped workers to deduct up to $25,000 from their federal taxable income. However, this deduction will not apply to Illinois state taxes.

Among other things but, yes, that was the final blow. People managed to find a path to "entertainment" without them and the habit was broken. It simply will not come back in any traditional manner.

It became obvious in season 4 they were going to play that angle up on the show as this kid turned his being gay into his entire life in interviews and promotions.

So, basically, they have turned the entire show into a coming out party for one actor and now everybody must celebrate and support his extremely brave decision to come out of the closet in 2025.

Now the entire show is a train-wreck because these California lefties decided to turn it into a self-esteem booster for one actor (who isn’t even that great at acting).

______________________

The best is when they totally screw up and make the opposite point of their goal. The movie "The Hunt" is a good example of this. The first part of the movie is liberals obliterating "members of the Right" in a gore filled, one sided massacre. However, as the movie progressed, those portraying the "justice warriors" are so over the top and reflective of real life individuals, the protagonist ends up being someone on the right, even though they tried to throw in a twist suggesting she was neither (which didn't work). Her ideals reflected conservative or libertarian positions. As a result, instead of casting shade on the left and right, it landed mostly on the left....pissing off the usual suspects.

281 The gay butler in Downton Abbey was unusual though, in that he was portrayed as a real asshole for the first several seasons, who got himself in real trouble several times.

It’s interesting to note that as the series progressed he matured quite a bit, finally stopped being a scheming asshole and eventually became head butler all the while his being gay became less and less of an issue as he became a more kind-hearted, studious, worker instead of just a one-dimensional homosexual dickhead.

It was very good at what it wanted to do which was....creep you out. You know, where you think...Uhhh, did I lock all the doors tonight yet?

LOL, I was going to include a review of that. I bought it and watched it too nights ago.

I didn't love it. The cops didn't talk like cops and [b[the serial killer didn't act like a serial killer. I know they wanted to have him do different, varied methods of murder, but serial killers usually don't do that.

If anyone is interested, the movie is very Lovecraftian. Which is... I dunno. I think that's now a bit overdone in 2025.

Eh. Great idea for a movie -- a "true crime" movie, but a fictional one -- but the execution was lacking for me.

Posted by: ace at December 30, 2025 04:51 PM (1wjle)

Hi, Ace,

That was the main weakness, but I think they addressed that indirectly with the "diabetic" guy, and how the cops themselves said this isn't how serial killers behave and the "incident in the cave' that allowed him to become Mr Shiny.

I think we're supposed to get the idea that Mr Shiny was following instructions to achieve his goal.

296 "How did Stranger Things go from such a great show to the only way they could defeat Vecna is if Will tells everyone he's gay first."

What they miss is they did this schtick...twice. Rocken' Robin ALSO had a gay coming out scene. Literally the same show, a few episodes apart. Two coming out adventures in a group of maybe eight kids.

as they said in Team America: world Police:
"Everyone has AIDS
AIDS, AIDS, AIDS
AIDS, AIDS, AIDS, AIDS, AIDS, AIDS
Everyone has AIDS
And so this is the end of our story
And everyone is dead from AIDS

But instead of heralding a dramatic return to moviegoing, 2025 is running neck-and-neck with the middling 2024 box office, and will fall far short of the $9 billion in domestic ticket sales that most analysts expected the theatrical movie business to easily eclipse.

Eddie from season four is *exactly* what me and about half my friends looked like at the time. But I have to say, if one of the guys in my friend group got us all together in 1987 and came out as gay he would NOT have gotten a welcome response. Instead he might have gotten has ass kicked.

Minnesota Retard Tim Walz: Akshually The Real Fraudsters and Criminals Are White Men

This message paid for by Make America Somalia Again.

bbwalzbillionsforfraudinvestigation.jpg

Tim Walz, who insists that he's been the real Fraud Detective all along, now tells us that the real criminals behind all the fraud in Minnesota are white men.

As you know, the Retard also declared that any investigation into Somali Pirate Fraud is "white supremacy:"

Is it remotely factual that "most crime" is committed by white men?

Well, Minnesota has a lower-than-usual black population -- 8.2% -- and yet, Ed Morrissey points out, blacks commit the overwhelming majority of murders and rapes.

It's not exactly a shock to hear Walz claim that white men commit the "majority of crime" in Minnesota. Men generally commit far more crime anyway, and over 81% of Minnesota's population is white. Black men and women account for only 8.2% of the population of the state. And yet, the crime statistics compiled by the state's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension for 2024, published two months ago in a report for the state legislature, paint a very different picture than Walz suggests -- even if Walz' comments were a deflection from the current massive scandal emerging in his administration.

For one thing, Walz' statement isn't even literally true, at least not in significant categories. When it comes to homicides in 2024, among 292 known offenders, only 43 were white; 193 were black. Of the 2,140 known rape offenders, white men comprised the plurality at 904, but 644 were black men, highly disproportionate to the state's demographics. Black robbery offenders made up 3,619 of the state's 5,040 robbery offenders in 2024. Aggravated assaults tell the same story: 4,252 black, 3,015 white. Among all arrests, whites accounted for a bare majority at 57,143, while blacks accounted for 31,163, again highly disproportionate to the state's population demographics.


Another white male criminal:

Why are Walz and Ellison protecting these men?

The only answer is that Walz and Ellison are white supremacists who are trying to protect their buddies from being exposed as being on the Epstein list.

54 Here's an easy thing for those complaining that folks are only targeting Somalis.

Go to Arkansas, Alabama, Wyoming. Go to your own [fudging] state of Minnesota. Identify the fraud. Call it out. Names, businesses, politicians. Give examples where Big Whitey is scamming the government, and get whistleblowers to call out the Feds.

If you really think Somalis are being scapegoated, and there are bigger examples of crime out there, then prove it.

These ivory-tower master debators won't do that. They want the fame and fortune of being called a journalist. But they don't put in the [fudging] effort to actually drill down into a story. Because it isn't about covering the news. It's about covering inconvenient news with a pillow until it stops breathing.

110 This really is amazing, watching the Dems scramble all of their fighter jets to defend illiterate immigrant's right to steal billions.

Because, if they fall, the next are:
1) the law firms who filled out the visa apps, that set up the LLCs, trained the owners, and helped shield the fraud
2) the accounting firms that faked the audits and certified they were true and accurate.
3) the bureaucrats who took the kickbacks and tipped off the owners to any problems
4) the Democrat Party, who receive no less than 10% of the loot.

How smart do you need to be? Fill out a form, turn in the form, collect the money. No one questions it, no one investigates it, no one checks to see if it's legit. That would be an -ism.

The government workers don't care. Not their money.
Most of the voters don't care. THEY don't pay taxes.
The politicians sure as fuck don't care. They get reliable votes.

Yeah, Gov. Turd Furguson should likely have shut the fuck up now that we know there are 500+ somali daycares in his state. Can't even keep the interstates and passes open for lack of money, but have 400 million fucking dollars to shovel to somalis. On top of several hundred million a year to illegals, and another several hundred million to imaginary fish.

It's common in WA for roads to start washing out, and they just put cones around it. I can think of several examples that have gone unfixed for almost 20 years. This is why.

Do you all know what a nice daycare near Seattle costs? Like, a real one. It's about 3 grand per kid, per month. Nice to see the childcare funding being diverted to goatfuckers.

The incentive structure of government is this:

More money spent.

A sudden increase in government spending is seen as a moral good to most people working in government. And no one questions it. It is to be celebrated.

It's not a unique problem to Walz, it's the entire government employee mindset. "If my budget is $300 million this year instead of $4 million last year, I can argue to the state legislature that I'm responsible and need more money, I can argue to the executive that I'm responsible and need a promotion."

It was designed to deal with criminal enterprises that had 'lots of buffers.' Beyond a simple conspiracy case because it covers bad people doing bad things without without knowledge of the greater RICO scheme.

To bring a RICO case you need two or more RICO predicates. 'Murder for hire' is one, as you'd expect

But another is "Bringing in, aiding or assisting aliens in illegally entering the country (if the action was for financial gain);"

If you have the right facts, RICO is a killer.

We're seeing more and more of these potential RICO cases popping up with leaks and exposures. This isn't an accident. Trump is settling all family business.

Yep. Senate's president pro-tem has little power and the VP rarely presides because they have even less because VPs can only break ties, not vote per se.

245 Just like the Roman empire did, we are intentionally making our currency worth less each and every year on purpose

The larger part of the problem is that politicians are rewards for raising spending and punished, at least sometimes, for raising taxes.

While inflationary spending is just a different form of tax, enough of the population is blind to the issue and won't vote based on it so we have a system that incentivizes deficit spending.

One of the most common complaints was that daycare was too expensive. I remember one woman bitterly noting that she had been looking for a new nanny to replace her excellent Maria she had lost and she was outraged some young American woman had applied for the job and wanted $20/hour AND time off in the evenings. Why...that's more then Maria and Maria was always willing to work late so I could go out with the girls!

Yep. Until the whole thing collapses and begins again. Stupid countries repeatedly cycle through the default scenario like Argentina. Smart ones like Austria, it takes about 80-90 years before stupidity arises again.

Our public debt is too big to pay so it won't get paid and thus it is inflated away in a soft default.

Japan is on the very frontier of what happens when a country is over 300 percent debt to gdp. China is not far behind. And that is a reason that both countries are suffering from a drop in birthrates--life becomes more expensive for everything needed. Aging countries have more and more difficulty paying off such debts because their average worker's prime productivity years are behind them and you have a larger and larger number of elderly that cannot do much if any work.

You also have the 'float'. Big buyers like WalMart, Sears back in the day, etc., expect prompt deliveries and often pay suppliers after 60/90/120 days depending on whether the supplier has a known national brand name or not. The retailer gets the goods in, sells them in less than a week in many cases, and then uses short term investments using the cash until their stated time to pay suppliers is up. This effect multiplies when a retailer is actively growing in stores (or online sales I guess). When it stops growing, the money machine from doing that settles down. If the retailer starts to shrink, then often the suppliers can and do start demanding better terms of payment or refusing to sell to that store chain. Stores teetering on the abyss often are required to pay cash on delivery.

Depends, Trop v. Dulles in 1958 regarding the 8th Amendment relied upon a living constitution reading.

Say what you will but back in the day before mass credit/debit cards travelers checks were the gold standard.

319 Omar elected 2109 and net worth estimated at $30 when elected. Her congressional salary since being elected at $174k per year and she now is worth estimated $30million. I like this Kid Nick Shirley, but I have an observation about the video he released on Minn. fraud. Nick was the vehicle exposing the fraud. The guy taking him door to door to the day care centers in the video is the guy who did the investigating and exposed the fraud. That person did all the heavy lifting over the past several years for the story you say presented by Nick.

Somali Pirate "Day Care Centers" Are Suddenly Filled (Well, not "Filled") With Rent-a-Kids


Bussing in Child Shields.


The Quality "Learing" Center Minneapolis, a purported day care flagged in a viral video designed to expose fraud, may have been bustling with kids Monday, but it is typically such a ghost town that it appeared closed, a local told The Post.

The resident called the kiddie scene at the site Monday -- a few days after explosive footage called it out and suggested it was part of widespread state fraud -- "highly unusual.

"We've never seen kids go in there until today. That parking lot is empty all the time, and I was under the impression that place is permanently closed," the person said.

Monday's busy parking lot and the roughly 20 kids streaming in and out as The Post staked out the site were in stark contrast to the neighbor's description and YouTuber Nick Shirley's video showing what appeared to be a facility that wasn't in use.

"You do realize there's supposed to be 99 children here in this building, and there's no one here?" Shirley asked the person answering the door to the site in his clip, which was posted online Friday.

No children appeared to be at the center at the time. The facility says its hours are Monday to Thursday, 2 to 10 p.m.

Ibrahim Ali, the son of the owner who said he was the manager, claimed to The Post on Monday that Shirley's visit came before they opened for the day.

"Do you go to a coffee shop at 11 p.m. and say, 'Hey, they're not working'?" Ali argued to The Post.

He also blamed a graphic designer for the now-infamous typo on the site's sign.

"What I understand is [the owners] dealt with a graphic designer. He did it incorrectly. I guess they didn't think it was a big issue," said Ali, 26, who claimed he helps out with homework and paperwork at the facility.

...

Ali said there were about 16 kids inside the center Monday afternoon.

Sixteen? I thought 99 Phantom Children were enrolled here.

...

A woman opening the center at 2 p.m. Monday said Shirley's reporting was inaccurate.

"We don't have fraud. That's a lie," she said, adding, "I don't want to talk to you. I want to talk to my lawyer."

Outside the center, another worker took out his smartphone to record a Post reporter who was asking him questions about the situation.


"Don't f--king come to this area. Get the f--k out of here," the employee said angrily.

Sounds like some of the Pirates are considering the Josh Gerstein Second Amendment Solutions.

7 If you read "Black Hawk Down" *the book and not the sanitized movie), Somalis loved to use cows, women, kids, and damn near anything else in the Battle of Mogadishu. They also managed to get so absolutely high as kites of khat (usually described as a "mild stimulant") that they would attack our soldiers one-handing AK-47s while covering their dilated pupils from the sunlight. It took thousands of them to kill a few cut-off special forces guys in an indefensible position.

Imagine if the Zulu took 2 million casualties wiping out the British at Isandlwana.

Imagine if Santa Anna lost 200,000 killed storming the Alamo.

Imagine if the Afghans did frontal assaults against their enemies and only ever won if they had a 4,000 to 1 advantage.

That's the level of retardation we are dealing with when we talk about Somalis.

24 Just to be clear -- The Somalians did not get caught because they are more corrupt than all the other 3rd world immigrants, they got caught because they are dumber and brasher and made their fraud too obvious.

I have seen so much fraud. Forget about the citizens on SSDI, or unemployment, or workers comp, or enhanced early retirement from state jobs -- that is rampant too and it seems everyone is doing it. (or the expense account and state credit card fraud.)

But I mean the insurance fraud, the FEMA fraud, the special 9/11 redevelopment fraud, the no show job fraud, the PELL grant fraud, etc. etc. And all this on top of the medicare/medicaid, SNAP, Section 8, etc. fraud.

It is very hard to go to work each day knowing about all the waste and grift. I feel like a slave.

26 The Somali story has radicalized me on all "public-private partnerships." They are all nothing more than an obfuscation of what should be a public expenditure of tax dollars,into byzantine, behind-the-scenes patchworks of "grants" and "subsidies."

Meanwhile, the "nonprofits" that leech off the taxpayers are almost all Insane Progressives who use the State largesse to cadres of radicals "employed" (at the nonprofit) and able to engage in all kinds of political mischief on the local level.

I've seen the "Project RISE" operate just this way in my beloved Upstate NY/Saratoga. They are now a huge, fat progressive tick ensconced in the State and local body politic. Because "housing affordability" and "the homeless." And every time there's a debate about it, literal Tides Foundation funded radical shills make dramatic protests at City Council meetings etc to protect their fellow travelers.

Meanwhile the official GOPe there is hopelessly deaf, dumb and blind to the bigger picture. It's not about "tax dollars" (just) but funding Leftist Revolution. Think USAID on the domestic level.

36 An aspect of the daycare fraud is probably that kids are counted multiple times across multiple daycares.

The Somali parents were paid a kickback for showing up with their kids, signing them in, and then leaving. How many did that across multiple daycares?

There's a very high chance that the fraudsters can't actually make things right. They can only put on shows at individual centers.

7 If you read "Black Hawk Down" *the book and not the sanitized movie), Somalis loved to use cows, women, kids, and damn near anything else in the Battle of Mogadishu. They also managed to get so absolutely high as kites of khat (usually described as a "mild stimulant") that they would attack our soldiers one-handing AK-47s while covering their dilated pupils from the sunlight. It took thousands of them to kill a few cut-off special forces guys in an indefensible position.

By "this" I meant this news cycle.

Yes, Biden's DOJ was doing some stuff. They outright stopped releasing press releases about it in the last couple years of the admin, though.

But it was also only focused on 1 of 14 welfare programs while this new MN USA, appointed in August, has said he's looking at all 14.

This strikes me as reasonable. They will try through careful coordination (photo ops on different days, etc.), but it is very likely that there are a lot "enrolled kids" who don't actually exist. *That* needs to be audited heavily, along with these outfits. How many kids aren't real, and how many programs are these unreal kids in?

107 Willowed:

325 It's even worse for the fraudulent day care center to suddenly fill up with live bodies. It's one thing for investigators to evaluate missing books and data files, invoices. Chasing down missing receipts - typical audit stuff.

But once you have actual live bodies, you can ask them for names, addresses, bank accounts, credit cards, documentation on the spot. Then you can reconcile those names to any prior activity at the location. Inspection history. If ONE thing doesn't add up - like different names of parents and children, then the real fun begins.

108 Daycares have to have records on each child, a specific ratio of adults to children that is age dependent, attendance records, etc. If their friends brought in all the kids to have kids in a building, those records should be readily available.

124 And just to get ahead of the news curve on the election fraud in Minn.

They say a registered voter can "vouch" for up to 8 people, or unlimited if you work in care home, and same day register them to vote. This is bad, but people don't understand the magnitude.

When I was a lad, I remember the inner city churches all ran buses around the city delivering people to voting stations. That may seem odd considering voting stations were all over and always walking distance in the inner cities. A guy would get out with a clip board and tell each passenger something (I presume their "name" and how to vote) and they would vote. Then they would go to next voting station.

This is the GOTV machine the Dems run in the cities. Mail-in makes it easier, but they use all methods to get their numbers up. 20 people driving around on election day can deliver 200 votes. 20 buses in a small city and you got 4k votes. They sell those votes to candidates (which is why the winners never want to legislate the practice away) and control all local offices.

So in response to above - yes, the pols get something. Look at the Jim Jones Church for a case history of how that works.

10 years of investigation and building a case to go after all these folks and, just as they were getting to the finish line, Trump and his merry band of other pedophiles co-opt the whole thing and turn it into a politically divisive and racist attack against his political opponents.

Via LifeZette: An independent journalist in Ohio has released a video investigation alleging extensive fraud schemes involving the misuse of Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) benefits within parts of the state’s Somali community, adding to broader scrutiny of welfare programs and oversight failures. A favorite scam involves connecting restaurants to grocery stores. According to the journalist, these grocery stores are able to process EBT transactions for bulk food purchases, which are then used to supply the adjacent restaurants.

I assume all of them are a problem. I know the Bishops and the Pope have a problem with immigration reluctance on the part of their US parishioners. Of course, I have a problem with clergy lecturing me on ignoring theft, and false witness, and lying too. I consider the US Bishop's Conference to be an accessory to all of this and would suggest they all spend some time in a cell - or maybe they can all go live at the Vatican.

Posted by: DanMan at December 30, 2025 02:43 PM

ThePersistence @ScottPresler

Here’s how vouching works for Minnesota residential facilities:

Shukran: “I work for a residential facility. My 300 residents want to vote.”

Election Day Worker: “Show me you’re an employee.”

Shukran: “Here you go.” *Shows badge*

Election Day Worker: “All 300 can vote.”

X: https://bit.ly/3NlOIHC

So, if Shukran was an employee of a residential facility with 5,000 residents, all Shukran has to do is prove he’s an employee of said facility & Shukran can vouch for ALL 5,000 facility residents for the purpose of voting?

Is this correct, @grok?

Grok @grok

Yes, Minnesota Statutes 201.061, subd. 3, allows employees of residential facilities to vouch for an unlimited number of residents for proof of residence during Election Day registration, if they prove employment. Regular voters are limited to eight vouchers.

293 I'm very familiar with the kind of fraud the Somalis commit in Minnesota, because (unfortunately) a (former) close friend of mine used to do the exact same kind of fraud, here in California. It went like this:

She and her boyfriend were both drug addicts and scammers. They got the boyfriend classified as "disabled," even though he wasn't really disabled, by going to a crooked ghetto doctor who deemed him "mentally deficient," i.e. a retard. (He wasn't actually a retard, but he was definitely a stupid asshole.)

Next step was to apply for "in-home support,' where the gov't pays for a live-in catetaker for the "retard." Got it.

Final step: Apply for permission for the disabled-person's partner to be his live-in caretaker(totally allwed by the rules). Approved.

Final result: They just ocntinue living together as before, nothing changes, except that the government now gives them $2,400/month for one to be the "live-in caretaker" of the other. Even though they just live together as a couple, like any other couple -- nobody "caretakes" anybody.

The money gets spent on drugs, liquor and (in their case) illegal gambling.

It's a total scam, and yet mlliions do it.

Her husband is a physician.
---
In the New Yorker essay, Schlossberg wrote about watching her cousin, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. be confirmed to lead U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and how medical care swiftly changed as a result. The Kennedy family advocated against his selection for the job.

"I watched from my hospital bed as Bobby, in the face of logic and common sense, was confirmed for the position, despite never having worked in medicine, public health, or the government," she wrote. "Suddenly, the health-care system on which I relied felt strained, shaky. Doctors and scientists at Columbia, including George, didn’t know if they would be able to continue their research, or even have jobs."

I know people who work in daycare centers. It's not a high-margin business. They mostly concern themselves with paying for staffing, supplies, physical plant and permitting. Not a ton left over for extras.

Aside from the government schools who have their own stable of sharks, these people can't afford attorneys, besides the one they hired on an hourly basis to set things up. There's no "go talk to my attorney about this" when shit goes wrong.

And these people aren't Somalis. They can add single-digit numbers together and name three consecutive letters from the English alphabet and stuff like that... they just can't afford to retain counsel.

Don't forget that the left has a massive worldwide network of institutions to pay for their operations. "Discover the Networks" has been covering them for at least 10-15 years. And they had these well-funded operations well before USAID. Shutting down USAID and this Somali fraud is a drop in the bucket to how much money they have to support their operations.

Judge Rules That Trump May Share Illegal Alien Medicaid Data with ICE

As Scott Jennings points out: The left claims that zero illegal aliens are on Medicaid, so the file should be blank.

Right?

Right?

Judge rules Trump admin can share illegal migrant Medicaid data with ICE

U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria ruled that ICE officials can access six categories of "basic" personal information: Address, citizenship, immigration status, phone number, date of birth and Medicaid ID.

A federal judge ruled Monday that the Trump administration can share Medicaid information pertaining to illegal migrants with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers next month.

The ruling comes after 22 Democratic states sued to stop the government from sharing the information in July, which was granted while the case played out. The liberal states can still appeal the ruling.

The order approved an agreement between the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Department of Homeland Security in July that allowed ICE officials to access the personal data of 79 million Medicaid enrollees, including home addresses, to track down the illegal migrants.

U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria ruled that ICE officials can access six categories of "basic" personal information: Address, citizenship, immigration status, phone number, date of birth and Medicaid ID.

"The sharing of such information is clearly authorized by law and the agencies have adequately explained their decisions," Chhabria wrote in the seven-page order.

...

The order, which is limited to migrants known to be in the country illegally, comes because seven blue states allow migrants to receive state funds through their respective Medicaid programs, but not federal ones.

I don't think there's a Western modern government that's tried mass deportations at this scale ever.

It's an economic experiment with almost no precedent, so all economic models are just going to be insufficient to predict things.

"The labor market is weak while GDP is up! This signals...something!"

I have a strong suspicion that the combination of deportations, efforts at repatriation of manufacturing, and the choking off of unproductive, leech financial centers in the US economy (NGOs and fed grants) is going to lead to a very large economic boom.

We'll see.

I saw a story out of MA about this where the hotels thought they were going to get guaranteed sweet government $$$ but then found the "refugees" were destroying the hotels because they didn't understand or care about how plumbing works.

155 Prof Hankins at Harvard

In reviewing graduate student applicants in the fall of 2020 I came across an outstanding prospect who was a perfect fit for our program. In past years this candidate would have risen immediately to the top of the applicant pool. In 2021, however, I was told informally by a member of the admissions committee that “that” (meaning admitting a white male) was “not happening this year.” In the same year a certifiably brilliant undergraduate I had tutored, who was literally the best student at Harvard—he won the prize for the graduating senior with the best overall academic record—was rejected from all the graduate programs to which he applied. He too was a white male.

This is why the whole, "Oh, the Somalis doing the fraud are legal immigrants" line actually doesn't hold water.

Trump's admin has been saying that they will denaturalize people and deport them. This is a perfect test case for that.

But, fraud investigations take time. It only really started in August with the appointment of the MN USA, and it'll take months to play out in grand juries and trials. But I suspect in the end a good number of legal Somalis will end up back in Somali barred from entering the US again.

More specifically, I'll bet that states like California don't even use NGO's and Foundations to launder the money so that it can be applied to other projects. I'll bet they just transfer it over, then disallow Federal auditor oversight...and this has been an ongoing practice no one has challenged.

Except this is indeed the case in some instances--your tax returns can't be shared with just any shitstain that happens to be working in the federal government. But your point still stands, as in this particular case this "basic" info (citizen status, address, etc.) was being shared with a federal agency specifically tasked with immigration enforcement. They weren't getting health info, etc., and I'm sure they didn't give a shit about that stuff anyway.

Remember what SNAP was and how it started.

It was a USDA program to manipulate the price of agricultural commodities. Uncle Sam would buy some amount of agricultural production as a price support, then give it away to poor people who went and picked up their actual food. Government cheese, bags of flour, etc.

I wouldn't object to going back to that system. Give out actual nutritious (if simple) food to people to take home and cook, and pay for it by redirecting subsidies that accomplish a similar objective with less transparency.

Remember, this whole news cycle started because the MN USA held a press conference on some new indictments where he said, in the press briefing, that it was the start of a large wave of coming indictments of fraud across 14 welfare programs.

Biden's DOJ had quietly done some of the indictments since 2022, but hadn't even publicized anything in the past 2 years about it, but only about one of the 14 programs.

The $9 billion figure comes from that MN USA appointed by Trump in August.

This didn't start with Shirley's YouTube video. That's just what amplified the story in the last week.

319 Recent Law Changes: The 2025 "One Big Beautiful Bill" (OBBB) Act restricted SNAP eligibility for many non-citizens, though it didn't remove eligibility for U.S. citizen children.

cosm ae org, commentary, July 17, 2025

"Illegal aliens are already ineligible for benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, generally called food stamps). But one provision (Section 1010 would reduce benefit payments by requiring the counting of their income (or a pro rata share of it, at state option) in determining the household’s eligibility and benefit amounts."

"An even more significant change is embedded in Section 70104, the provision permanently extending and enlarging the CTC, including its present requirement to provide a child’s Social Security Number (SSN) when claiming that benefit. The new law creates an additional requirement that a parent (or the parent’s spouse, if filing jointly) must provide a work-eligible SSN."

One Big Beautiful Bill includes similar restrictions on several other tax benefits...but the same legislation left the door open for illegal alien adults to receive federal payments under new “Trump accounts." (No parental SSNs required)

325 It's even worse for the fraudulent day care center to suddenly fill up with live bodies. It's one thing for investigators to evaluate missing books and data files, invoices. Chasing down missing receipts - typical audit stuff.

But once you have actual live bodies, you can ask them for names, addresses, bank accounts, credit cards, documentation on the spot. Then you can reconcile those names to any prior activity at the location. Inspection history. If ONE thing doesn't add up - like different names of parents and children, then the real fun begins.

Politico "Reporter" Josh Gerstein: Somalis Should Shoot Citizen Reporters Who Knock on "Day Care Center" Doors to Ask Questions

Remember when the communist media demanded that Erick Erickson be fired from CNN after he mused about shooting census workers that knocked on his door?


You won't be surprised to learn that communists employ a "Who, whom?" analysis to their supposed moral imperatives. Who is doing it, and to whom it is being done, determine whether it's criminal or mandatory.


Of course this "expert" who thinks "stand your ground" laws permit you to shoot people who knock on your door is a "senior legal affairs reporter."

A spokesman for the state said yesterday that there were no kids on the day the video was shot because they were closed for scheduled maintenance or something, but there would definitely be kids there today. So they had to actually make that happen.

I do, but there might be a better "food for thought comparison, which is how Press whores always and constantly bleat about "dangerous rhetoric" against the Press. They are the first to claim that Trump's continuous - and justified - bad-mouthing of the Press represents *actual* danger to Press whores. They claim it constantly. They are heroes in dangerous jobs made more dangerous by hateful rhetoric and any bad word about them should be forbidden.

Building a case against people with good lawyers and money behind them is a lot more difficult than prosecuting the typical low life. E.g. Comey, the stupid Congress critter in NJ assaulting ICE agents, and Leticia and her mortgage fraud, as well as the disqualification of Trump's DA in NJ.

All of these were routine slam dunk cases yet dismissed on technicalities by a judge or grand jury because a) grand juries full of Democrats, b) judges who were cronies of the accused in some cases, c) Democrats blocking any Trump DA appointments. Bondi herself cannot institute the indictments, they have to be overseen by duly qualified underlings.

207 The leftwing media's insane and murderous reaction to the Somali fraud scandal really means one thing: they are really worried about this.

The size of the numbers is so incredibly yuge, there seems no doubt that high-ranking Democraps were in on the fraud, and it highlights one of the right's biggest concerns that medical care in this country is total dogshit and Obamacare and subsidies make it worse.

Plus, it doesn't help that Somalis are mostly hideously ugly and malformed people that look like the offspring of a leper morlock and a xenomorph that gestated inside a diseased warthog. If they all looked like Iman it might not be so much an issue.

But, out of curiosity, I pulled up the schematics and mapping on the Minnesota Governor's Mansion. It sits back from any throughfares. It's fenced off, and has a large front yard, a fence around the property, and then a non-usable macadam lot in front of that which is inaccessible.

He's making the shit up. Which is disappointing, but telling in that no one in the press called him on it.

275 There are two absolutely necessary and indispensable parties to the fraud in MN:

1) government officials
2) law firms

Both of those were key to facilitating the fraud.
None of this stops until those people are arrested.

100%. In the normal fraudulent scheme, you can clearly see the stolen money in extravagance like the BLM's founder's mansions, luxury cars, and other expensive indulgences. Where is that in the Somali community? They all look like filthy street urchins.

Sure, some of the money went to Democrap politicians like Walz and Ilhan (I'll bet any amount of money the "investments" in her idiot husband's hedge fund are all stolen money). But it seems like billions of it just disappeared. It was sent overseas to terror groups.

Not that easy. All federal criminal cases have to start with grand jury indictments. To do that, you have to present evidence, to do that, one judge, for example, ordered smirking asshole Comey crony law prof's comms with Comey and other evidence returned to him, and so on.

All this is stemming from the Democrats abusing the blue slip policy in the GOP run Judiciary committee and blocking federal DA and district court judge appointments of Trump to positions in blue states like VA, NJ, NY, etc.

Then an odd, probably unconstitutional law, kicks in where those blue state judges get to pick the DA where the seat is vacant. They will of course pick one of their Dem cronies (which is why the law should be unconstitutional due to separation of powers).

The legal system is patently unfair and tilted toward the ruling class buddy system for decades now. Now the ruling class including lawyers are mostly Democrats due to the squeeze it gives them, Trump or Bondi are facing uphill battles.

Leon was the more cunning of the two, but neither would EVER have the wherewithal to even think of this idea, let alone fill out the papers, and they were both smarter than Somalis.

Somebody cooked this up, and hand-held the "perps" through the setup for the score. No doubt about it.

A hospital here in Michigan was caught doing something similar during the Plandemic.

When people were exposing the lie that hospitals were overflowing with COVID patients, a Michigan hospital, on the day that they knew local media was showing up to check on the hospitals, had hospital staff go out in their cars and get in line around the hospital to make it look like there was a long line of patients waiting to get into the hospital.

Politico dude is simply lying about SYG. Self defense is a complicated bit of law which inverts normal criminal defense law. You admit to doing the crime but argued that it was justified by the particular set of circumstances leading to an objective (subjective in a couple of states), belief that you were at risk for death or serious injury from the actions of the person you shot.

Knocking on someone's door is not an objective reason. Even asking about fraud , you can ask people to leave or you will call the cops for trespass but doorknocking and asking for a response to a question, even by unwanted individuals, is constitutionally protected unless all your land is marked as no trespassing, gated, and fenced. Even in such conditions, you cannot shoot someone for trespassing alone, there has to evidence of an overt threat by the trespasser to cause death or serious injury. Going outside to confront is always problematic as it can be interpreted by the jury as looking for a fight. Stay inside and call the cops.

_______________

If you go back to a press conference she did down in Georgia in either August or early September....before she started officially, she made a total non-sequitur comment on the open mic. (paraphrase) "If they say I committed suicide, it wasn't suicide."

There was not qualification, no explanation following the statement. Then she went on discussing whatever that press conference was about.

Right about that time is when she started getting verbal in opposition to Trump (and most conservative principles). Now, she might have always held the views she is pushing now, but it just seems orchestrated as if someone caught her in a vice (no pun intended), and is running her like a puppet currently...and MTG decided rather than playing along, she'd just quit the whole thing...an announced her resignation.

Castle doctrine requires someone trying to enter in a tumultuous fashion so as to indicate ill intent to a jury-essentially trying to break the door down, break a window for entry, etc.

SYG, outside the home if you stupidly (in almost all cases) go outside, means only that you cannot be considered starting an altercation merely by being on your own or the public's property and not retreating to the wall (as old English statute required). For the most part, conflict avoidance from the blessed are the Peacemakers principle, means that juries and judges will look most favorably upon a defendant that tries everything to avoid the fatal confrontation rather than going to Condition Black.

Plenty of people in jail because they shot through the door injuring or killing people simply knocking on the door. One case in Detroit had a guy shooting and killing a woman who was trying to get help by knocking on the guy's door and asking for entry after being in a car accident. He is in prison now.

440 Gerstein, who is a known-nothing bully, can't even get his threats straight. He has conflated two scandals, among the dozen or so ongoing frauds in Minnesota. There are no "home daycares" in Minnesota. That's called babysitting. There are home healthcare companies, that send nurses to clean and care for elderly, and there are daycares where parents drop off their kids. Both types of business are engaged in rampant fraud, but Nick Shirley never went to anyone's home. He went to the daycare sites and the offices of the home healthcare businesses where the castle doctrine would not apply. Shirley's video was easy to critique for the way he posed the questions to the home healthcare offices, because it seemed like he thought the nurses should be at the office when the office just co-ordinates the nurses and the homes they visit. But Gerstein is too stupid to make that point.

Well, I do okay for a man of no substance (inside joke based on last thread).

The major issue with self defense is that it requires something like the True Man doctrine (Scotus cases in the 1900's) where a true man admits what they did and openly claims justification. To be that person, you do not alter or conceal evidence aka dragging someone. One does not lie about what they said or did. A person admits that the shot (or other means) was intentional designed to stop the threat. This means admitting to committing a crime if the jury and judge do not agree that your shooting was legal. But a person insists that they were justified in committing the act (normally a crime) by objective criteria demonstrated by the alleged perp that led a person to reasonably believe by tangible evidence before they shot the person that otherwise serious harm or death would occur. Shooting the perp then becomes the lesser of two evils.

Raul Rodriguez case, 2010 Texas SYG
Result conviction.
"In the 22-minute video, Rodriguez, a retired Houston firefighter, can be heard telling a police dispatcher he had called that "my life is in danger now" and "these people are going to go try and kill me." He then said, "I'm standing my ground here," before shooting Danaher.

Prosecutor Kelli Johnson told jurors that Rodriguez started the confrontation when instead of calmly asking Danaher to turn down the music he armed himself with a handgun and a camera and proceeded to harass people at the party. Rodriguez lured and provoked Danaher and two other men to come out onto the street and threatened them by brandishing his gun, she said. Danaher and the two other men were unarmed and Rodriguez's life was never in any danger, Johnson said.

Defense attorney Paul Sampson argued that Rodriguez went to complain and was confronted by Danaher and the two other partygoers. Sampson said Rodriguez didn't pull out his gun until he was standing in the street and Danaher approached him in a threatening manner."

The Morning Rant: The Fall Of Iran?

punk-monkey.jpg

How many times have we heard that the Mad Mullahs are teetering on the brink, and will be driven out of Iran by THE PEOPLE?

And how many times have we been disappointed?

Sure, Obama had a lot to do with the failure of The Green Movement in 2009, and his convenient $400,000,000 payoff to the Mullahs in 2016 probably helped them retain power. And of course the Grand Poobahs of the EU have no particular interest in a free Iranian people when the Mullahs are buying their technology and selling them oil. And let us not forget the desire of the Bien Pensants for a powerful Iran as a counterbalance to those filthy Jews in Israel. No matter that Iran also funds terrorism throughout the world and is directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocents, and indirectly responsible for hundreds of thousands more. Oh, they have their pet resistance movements, in particular the NCRI, whose leader wears a hijab! Amazing that it is the symbol of repression in Iran, but Europe loves them some hijabs, so...

In a sane world there would be an armored column driving toward Tehran while the air was filled with bombs destroying every nuclear and security facility in Iran. And the world would have driven Hamas and Hezbollah and the Houthis and their Iraqi proxies out of their stolen countries.

But we don't live in a sane world that values self determination and freedom. So expecting the Iranian people to be successful in their desire to free themselves from the vile, murderous Mullahs without Western help is long on hope and short on reality.

Iranian protesters clash with security forces as tear gas fills Tehran streets amid nationwide unrest

Protests escalated across Iran on Monday as demonstrators confronted security forces in Tehran and Mashhad, with authorities deploying tear gas amid strikes and street clashes, according to reports.

An Iranian opposition group, the National Council of Resistance of Iran, reported that a large crowd of demonstrators marched along Jomhouri (Republic) Street before moving into nearby areas, including Naser Khosrow Street and Istanbul Square in Tehran.


Except...there is a wild card, and his name is President Donald Trump. Will the President take a public stand in support of this nascent popular uprising? Will he back it up with concrete actions? Will he mobilize his new friends in the Arab world to confront Iran?

With Trump's and America's support, unlike in years past, it is possible that the Iranian -- or perhaps we should call them Persian -- people will have the opportunity to do what they could not do since the heady few months after the fall of the Shah. And Iran is weaker than it has been in a very long time, with Israel destroying Iranian proxies on its borders, and carefully creating security bulwarks against Iran.

But they still have to deal with the comprehensive internal security apparatus that the Mullahs have assiduously created over the last 45 years. It is brutal, cruel, and all-encompassing, and unless the collapse occurs very rapidly (see: Romania), there is the possibility of horrendous death and destruction as the Mullahs lash out against their subjects.

Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson will be despondent if the Mullahs fall, but that might be the best part of the whole thing!

Meh. Double-meh. I don't see why the Iranian Muslims are any different than any other Muslims in terms of yearning not to be free, but to be supplicant to a poisonous political theology that manifests itself on Earth in favoring oppressive, tyrannical regimes.

How many times have we tried "nation building" or trying to "bring Democracy" to Muslim savages who want neither? The West has been trying to do this for at least 60 years. 100% failure rate. Why should Iran be different this time?

• heavy taxation, economic inequality, regulation
• cultural disintegration (multi-ethnic, multi-lingual) both allowed break-away territories that had their own customs and religions
• court intrigue
• military weakness against new tactics (building battleships when drones and async warfare are emerging)

Except that she was born to American parents who were working for the Shah, and left Iran when she was five.

More significant in the development of her perverse view of the world and politics is her time working for the Democratic machine in Chicago, starting in 1987. She's a home-grown idiot, in other words.

122 The Chinese government is stable for now, but Venezuela’s regime is only hanging by a thread, and for years now Cuba has only survived by the aid given to them by Venezuela. (In most areas outside Havana, electricity is only on 4 hours a day. Agriculture has collapsed, 70% of the people are at starvation levels)
So it’s not a stretch to say they could fall.
What makes Iran different this time is that they’ve destroyed their own currency through throwing money away on all of their military adventures. So their ability to keep paying their own military is now in question, as their internal inflation rate is now 40% and unemployment approaches 50%.

As I've said on several occasions here, probably close to 50% of the world's population don't want the responsibility of being free. And that includes this country.

It takes a certain depth of character in order to be self regulating and be positively engaged in a high-trust society.

That is why totalitarianism has been the rule since expulsion from The Garden.

Even the Jews demanded of God and Samuel to give them a king despite the clear warnings of what that would look like.

Apparently slavery wasn't a problem so that they could be "just like all of the other nations".

So I don't want to hear about Judeo-Christian ethics in the foundation of this country, it was the printing press, guns and Calvinism that created the American Exception or as Ronaldus Magnus opined "the shining city on the hill".

Authoritarianism is the universal rule.

Even the afterlife is pure totalitarianism.

Iran is an important component of a middle east policy that is important to the USA. The entire geopolitical world is reflected in ME politics right now. China, Russia, Muslim terror and savagery, energy, transportation (Suez, etc), and a fading, falling Europe fucking itself in the ass with it's own severed dick.

You can't deny that bombing Iran's nuke facilities was a significant improvement to the USA, do you?

NYT, Jun 1975, U.S. Plans to Sell 3 Submarines To Iran for Use in Indian Ocean

The United States has committed itself to help Iran in the modernization of her navy, which is the largest among those of the Persian Gulf nations. The Iranian Government has stated that the mission of the submarine force would bed “antisubmarine warfare surveillance and protection in the Arabian Sea and the approaches to the Strait of Hormuz,” which leads into the Persian Gulf.

Rear Adm. Robert J. Hanks told a House Armed Services subcommittee that the submarines would also he used for training Iranian antisubmarine warfare forces.

Iran will purchase three Tang‐class submarines, a streamlined, deep‐diving, relatively fast submarine that was built after World War II. ...
---
Two submarines, the USS Trout (SS-566) and USS Wahoo (SS-565), were prepared at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard in the late 1970s for transfer to Iran for the Imperial Iranian Navy.

The U.S. had also provided extensive naval and military training to Iran in the 1970s before the revolution including specialized F-14 Tomcat pilot training, support for the Imperial Iranian Navy (IIN), and much more.

Persia originated from the historical region of Persis (modern-day Fars Province in southwestern Iran), where the Iranian-speaking Persian people settled, becoming the heartland of powerful ancient empires (Achaemenid, Parthian, Sasanian) that dominated Western Asia for centuries before the area was officially renamed Iran in 1935

If they're naturalized, they can be denatured.


From AI:
While naturalized U.S. citizens generally cannot be deported because they are citizens, the government
can initiate a legal process called denaturalization to revoke citizenship if it was obtained fraudulently, such as through lies about past crimes or hiding material facts on the application, which then makes them eligible for deportation. This process is rare, requires a high burden of proof ("clear, convincing, and unequivocal evidence"), and focuses on fraud during naturalization, not usually crimes committed after becoming a citizen, though serious post-naturalization offenses can be grounds for revocation

So....maybe?

Fuentes the Fag or Candace Ovens rate even less. Being able to put out agit prop on Social Media is no indication of much of anything going on inside their skulls. Essentially they are the cotton candy of conspiracy theories and Fuentes at the very least shows signs of being an op directed at splitting MAGA over Jews and other issues.

Anyone supporting Kamala for president in 2024 is simply not to be taken seriously on the right for whatever reason and it is a sign of low intelligence and gullibility to accept such a person as organic and more to the right than Trump. He is David Duke for this generation.

Sit down. This might be hard to hear.

Things will not get better in California until it becomes a chaotic wasteland and loses statehood. The entire apparatus of government is organized crime. You live in a criminal enterprise. Salvage any value you can now. Flee while you still can. Or resign yourself to dying hard. But don't kid yourself. They are in the middle of a soft insurrection right now and they aren't just going to change their minds. No leftist in power ever surrenders it.

There will never be another Republican hold statewide office in CA again.
Last election, 4 House districts were won by GOP candidates on election night, but after counting "absentee and mail-in ballots" for # WEEKS afterwards, the Democrat was declared the winner.

253 There seems to be a strain in conservative circles that anything having to do with anything in the middle east -- anything at all -- is really nothing but the USA kowtowing to Israel.

Posted by: Judge Elric The Blade at December 30, 2025 11:47 AM (iFTx/)

It might be more accurate to say the position is better described as Israel having undue influence over U.S. policy.

Some might call that kowtowing, but it should be possible for people who support U.S. interventions in the Middle East to recognize there's a spectrum here: All the way from the actual Jew haters, to people who think we focus more attention than is good for us on that region of the world.

I'd rather we get out of the ME completely, but that has more to do with the fact that OUR politicians are on a spectrum from complete incompetents to complete evil.

259 I'd advise against.

Let's say Trump goes out and states "we love the great, luxurious people of Iran, and America has your backs! Stand up for truth, justice, and the Persian Way."

The mullahs would laugh it off. They would have received the full text of that speech from WH aides before it was given, and our foreign service spooks would have already told them "don't worry about this guy. Everything he says is bullshit; America has YOUR backs, fellas. There might be some strikes, but just sit tight. We've got this."

And the rubes in Iran would believe that speech, and they'd get out in the streets, and then the IRGC would wade through them with simple axes, just like last time.

The choice at that point would be to call the State/CIA/Ayatollah bluff and go for large-scale military intervention to support the protests (unacceptable to Trump's base, and possibly disastrous) or back down and leave the protesters to get chopped up (what will actually happen).

Trump would be wise to say little or nothing here.

269 A note on the deportation numbers.

2.5 million has been thrown around the last few weeks. That's a combination of 600,000 forced (heartland) deportations plus 1.9 million self-reported deportations through CBPOne, which are all presumably verified.

That doesn't count people just...going back. Packing up the car in Texas and driving back into Mexico with a quick wave at the border guards as they get into the colonialist Spanish state.

I've seen anecdotes of births in Texas hospitals being down 50% this year. Census data for the state says that births in TX are majority white for the first time in years this year.

Actual departures overall may be...much higher than 2.5 million.

It's possible, but it is a complete overstatement to say 2M departures have been verified.

He and IGTD share that irrational fascination with Israel, and defend figures public and private who make disparaging remarks about that country. They both comment about other topics, but they show there real antisemitic selves the moment Israel enters into a discussion.

311 Dude, God has complete control of our lives already.

There is a lot of daylight between "control" and "ordains".

A favorite passage of mine comes from the end of 1 Kings where a little known prophet Micaiah is brought before king Ahab to prognosticate the invasion of Ramoth-gilead.

Micaiah states that he saw the throne room of God where the Almighty and His hosts were deciding what to do with Ahab. One spirit announces a plan to put a lying spirit in the mouths of Ahan's counselors, which the LORD of Hosts grants the spirit to go do.

Ultimately God got His way; "complete control" certainly needs some nuance to account for this historical narrative.

Back when the Embassy was taken, I was on a planning team looking at what it would take to go there.
I came away with the knowledge that Iran is an EFFING BIG place and getting there would not be easy. Getting there in any numbers to sustain combat operations would take at least six months of buildup...probably closer to a year. And in too many places you'd be restricted to roads as crossing the desert is not an option. There are hundreds of square miles of desert that has a two-foot crust of hardpan covering rivers of flowing sand and mud beneath. Deadly for armor.

Israel is a parliamentary democracy, not a monarchy.

The state's system of government is a democratic republic with a president who serves as the ceremonial head of state and a prime minister who is the head of government.

Israel does not have a single, formal written constitution, but its governmental system and principles are defined by several Basic Laws enacted by the Knesset.

The Basic Laws are available through Twenty-Fifth Knesset, Fourth Session, Winter Assembly webpages.

392 Ashkenazi Jews tend to be very smart, very driven people, probably a result of the persecution they have endured over the centuries. When they devote themselves to a career, they tend to to excel in that career, be it the arts, the sciences, business, or even crime. It's not a conspiracy; it's just statistics.

I get that. I don't get why, having become Howard Roark, you then want to make the things that led to your own success impossible, or why that's seemingly common with successful Ashkenazis. Lots of non-Ashkenazis have been very successful too, but other than Bill Gates they mostly go wrong with typical rich people crap, not the whole WEF gay black communism thing.

393 Back when the Embassy was taken, I was on a planning team looking at what it would take to go there.
I came away with the knowledge that Iran is an EFFING BIG place and getting there would not be easy. Getting there in any numbers to sustain combat operations would take at least six months of buildup...probably closer to a year. And in too many places you'd be restricted to roads as crossing the desert is not an option. There are hundreds of square miles of desert that has a two-foot crust of hardpan covering rivers of flowing sand and mud beneath. Deadly for armor.

399 Whether you're a right wing Jew-hater, or a right winger who isn't a Jew-hater, it doesn't really make sense to center an argument around Nick Fuentes.

He's a pompous fraud with a largely fake audience. No critical mass of people on the Right will ever coalesce around that silly, barely-closeted homosexual.

So if you want to whip up Jew-hate, he's not your guy.

And if you want to tamp it down before it becomes as big a problem as it is on the Left, don't make it about him, because while you're looking at that particular target, those people will actually coalesce around someone who is serious, and also not a gay Mexican clickbaiter.

Previously caught and nothing happened to her or the fraud operation. Which is why fraud operations continue. And will continue unless those in charge of these operations -- politicians -- go to prison or are deported.

Catching and exposing them means nothing. Consequences for the high-ranking officials running the operations is what matters.

424 Actually, in the halls of foreign policy wonks, the counter-balance of Iran was to Saudi Arabia. We then supported SA to keep "balance" in the region. Because when this mess started, everybody was against Israel; they didn't need another one. In recent years, however, it does seem to have shifted, as SA and Jordan became less enamoured with trying to destroy Israel and more interested in being regular nations. Iran did not, and so they thrived as that "counter-balance."

96 More red hair! And definitely NTTAWWT.

I'm struck at how rare it is these days to see naturally red-headed children.

When I was a kid growing up in the 60s and 70s, naturally red hair was much more prevalent.

[Sadly, even my own initially blonde hair (owing to Eastern European ancestry, and sometimes slightly reddish especially after the summer sun owing to Scots-Irish ancestry) eventually darkened later in adulthood (before becoming blonde again -- not gray! -- entering the final third or quarter of adulthood).]

Awhile back, a kid called Bradley Manning, who had no special clearances, just walked up and stole a shitload of foreign intelligence.

Seth Rich was a kid who just walked up and leaked all of Hillary Clinton's purloined data.

Kids do this stuff all the time, because your Party cronies are sloppy-ass criminals.

I've referenced this before but remember when the story about the Haitians eating wildlife came out? The FNM took the local government's press release and claimed the story was debunked. They didn't send anyone to investigate. They didn't talk with the people that filed sworn statements. They didn't even try to talk with local cops/animal control officers.

167 In response to the question "why are the media so liberally biased?", AI provides the following:

The perception that media has a liberal bias stems from several complex and interconnected factors, including the personal demographics of journalists, changes in the media industry's business model, and consumer psychology
. It's important to note that media bias is a subject of extensive debate, with accusations of bias directed at both liberal and conservative outlets.
Key reasons cited for the perception of a liberal media bias include:

1) It's not a perception, it's truth. If you can't acknowledge that, nothing else you say has merit.
2) It's not complicated at all. The journalistic class are interested in something other than doing their jobs.
3) Ah, the old "both sides" horses***.

When I worked in politics, there was a bill being introduced on changing gun laws, and reporters constantly got information wrong. Just flat-out wrong. I reached out to reporters to explain the correct terminology and outline current law vs what the bills would do.

They aggressively did not want to know. Almost literally putting fingers in their ears "LALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!"

At news conferences, the same thing. Closing notebooks, overtly looking away, checking watches. Yet when the Dems did their news conference, they had scary looking guns out on the table, and one of them actually picked up an Uzi and pointed it casually at the reporters with her finger on the trigger to explain how dangerous it was. The reporters moved out the way, but no one ever mentioned it in coverage. (A State Trooper hastily took it away.)

They didn't send anyone to investigate. They didn't talk with the people that filed sworn statements. They didn't even try to talk with local cops/animal control officers.

IIRC, it was carefully and very precise legally parsed.

Like, "we called the mayor's office and his spokesman said he was not aware of any convictions for eating pets."

Women have an easier time going gay, and it is often motivated by politics and peer pressure. Many, many examples of radical feminists who one day decided to grow their hair back out, get married and have kids.

Because the male urge is so much stronger, it generally requires trauma to bend it into homosexuality. Decadence and hedonism (the thrill of the forbidden) also are a factor.

In my circle - sexual abuse, physical abuse, and the abusers can be male or female. Fear of being abused further turns them away from normal romantic relationships. they perceive safety in the lesbian lifestyle.

a lot of girls were abused by their (female) coaches - well groomed really, it wasn't violent. this is very common in female sport.

the post-menopausal ones just want a relationship at that point without sex. so going lesbian then works fine. it also might be a "cope" for women who are just not getting any male interest.

Anyone who has ever done business in the 3rd world knows that corruption and fraud are not just common but an accepted part of the culture. It's expected. In fact, if you refuse a bribe, something I would strongly recommend since the feds actually take that seriously, you offend the person trying to bribe you.

And stealing from the government is the height of respectability. I mean it's the government and its corrupt as well so what's the big deal?

When no minotaur is forthcoming, they have to settle for scissoring.

We have a huge weakness in our information system today, it affects all sides, and I don’t know what to do about it. Cynical Publius (you should read him if you don’t already) had a post about how monetizing on X and other public platforms works.
In a nutshell, serious writers with good thoughts and say 200,000 followers can make a couple thousand a month or so. Not bad, not enough to live off of.
However, sensationalist shitposters who put up one outrageous thing after another can make about 10k a month just from their posts as long as they can get a million views, and the more outrageous their claims are the easier it is to do. Doesn’t matter if they just made it up, any crazy claim will get eyeballs and get paid.

Hate clicks count the same as like clicks, but are much easier to get.

This is why drawing attention to nutjobs is a bad idea. Don't give them oxygen, and when people bring them up, casually dismiss them as irrelevant and uncool. Then talk up the cool people and drive traffic to them.

You're never going to discredit them. It's not going to happen. They have no sense of shame, and in time come to rely on the hate clicks. That's what French, Goldberg and now Owens are doing. Say something stupid and enjoy the ratio because it all pays the same.

There was a very funny (to me) incident about this a couple months ago - one of those posters decided to visit and film India’s “poo festival” where for some reason young Indian men gather and fling huge amounts of dung at each other for a weekend. He took pictures and blogged about it a little, and then got sandbagged when Indians claimed he was trivializing the religious significance of them covering each other in shit.

He ended up writing “going to this Poo festival turned out to be the worst decision of my life.”

359 I can't imagine that being a thing.

Most men have learned that if you acknowledge the existence of a woman outside of a defined business relationship you're about to get #MeToo'd. TikTok is full of videos from girls moaning that they wore a thong to the gym and no men even looked in their direction.

375 Comparing rich people and the Biden's is not quite the same. The Biden's are crooks, burglars; that's what they do. The money is the fix. Many rich people worked (one variation of legitimate activity or the othe) for their money.

376 first 4 or 5 things on my X

1. Reporter said this is old new that MN has reported on many time. No links
2. This really is not investigative journalism and COVID broke your brain.
3. MN Fraud was started under Trump and prosecuted by Biden.
4. Knowing on home daycare will get you shot.

This is wrong. I want more money because I'd like to build a bigger nest egg and so on. But if my family and I are were set to go? Like let's say I had $10m in low-risk, low-yield investments that I could ride on til I'm dead and leave a nice little chunk behind?

Fuck it. I'm retiring, I'm living in my same house with my same car, and driving it til the wheels fall off. I might buy a little motorboat, and a shitbox car or two for the kids. That's it.

I have little desire to acquire very much more than I have. I'm happy. I know a lot of people aren't wired like that, and I'm glad for it, because we need super ambitious people around, but I'm not none of them.

But many of us are happy with our little lives and families.

378 "Can a non-sexual relationship between two women be considered lesbianism? Aren't they just friends then?"

That sort of thing used to be called a "Boston marriage," when two women would live together and make a household. It was often, but not always, sexual.

381 The academics claim that no culture is any better or superior than another, actually.
====

That is retarded. They dhould be pointing out that no two cultures are equal.

Different cultures are... different!
Different means not the same.
Not the same means not equal.

You can argue which is superior.


Absolutely NOBODY is argueing that Somolua is superior... therefore they are inferior.

Oddly, gadzilions agrue the "White" is superor and they don't that fact, not one bit.
