Fraud Nation

Americans want to help people in need, but when government does that, about 500 billion taxpayer dollars get stolen. - John Stossel
It's how the system is designed, says the United Council on Welfare Fraud's Andrew McClenahan in this new video.

"You're measuring success by the amount of money you put out."

Because of that, government agencies rarely check whether their handouts go to the right people.
Minnesota is just the latest example.
Government officials didn't uncover that fraud -- YouTuber Nick Shirley did.

I say to McClenahan, "It's weird that a kid did what government investigators couldn't do."
"Articles back in 2018 talked about millions of dollars in suitcases being flown out of Minneapolis," he replies. "But it took a 20-year-old with an iPhone to go in there and expose it on Twitter."

Judges given new permission to push their personal politics onto American subjects * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

Judges given new permission to push their personal politics onto American subjects * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:

A warning has been issued by a constitutional expert, whose opinion has been heard and adopted by Congress on numerous occasions, that America's judiciary is going off the rails – and its new agenda for judges to express their personal political opinions "could not come at a worse time."

Perhaps judges now will follow their written opinions, through which they have spoken for generations, with their own X accounts to lobby for support for themselves. Perhaps dissents now will be available on YouTube and Rumble?

The warning comes from Jonathan Turley, an expert on the Constitution, a highly regarded law professor and a sought-after commentator on all issues legal.

"You're kidding, right?" Leavitt replied. " I will pull you a plethora of examples. I'm going to get my team in that room to start going through the internet of radical Democrats throughout the years and who have accused this president falsely of being a racist.

Why Exactly Did They Destroy the Border? - Victor Davis Hanson

Biden’s border chaos wasn’t accidental—it was a political strategy to reshape America’s electorate and expand left-wing power. - Victor Davis Hanson

Why would any president destroy the U.S. southern border?

Not too long ago, Texas State Representative Gene Wu (D-Houston), chair of the Texas House Democratic Caucus, jumped the shark to say out loud what is usually left unsaid about the Democrat agenda:

The day the Latino, African American, Asian, and other communities realize that they share the same oppressor is the day we start winning, because we are the majority in this country now. We have the ability to take over this country and to do what is needed for everyone...

Alert: Hillary Just Signaled a Massive Narrative Change on Immigration - Remember How They Tried to Steal 'No Tax on Tips' From Trump? They're About to Try the Same Move Again

Alert: Hillary Just Signaled a Massive Narrative Change on Immigration - Remember How They Tried to Steal 'No Tax on Tips' From Trump? They're About to Try the Same Move Again:

If there was a time for Democrats to flip on this issue, it was either 1) when the border crisis started under Biden or 2) when Trump started fixing the problem. (Without the border bill that Biden insisted he needed, mind you.) They did neither, and not only did they cause the crisis but they enabled the dangerous backlash to commonsense law enforcement when they encouraged the wine-mommy revolutionaries out into the street.

In the past a scandal tended to mean a politician had been caught lying, having an affair, being a traitor, being engaged in self enriching corruption, being grossly incompetent in a way damaging to the nation, or having sick and perverse sexual tastes.
Today all of those are more likely to be obligatory or an explanation for a rapid promotion rather than career ending.

So what constitutes a scandal today?

A scandal today signifies any statement, any act, any policy or any belief that isn’t a Globalist Progressive, borderline Marxist and undoubtedly treasonous, one...

Lately I have been wondering when progressive Democrats would launch some new material.

The screeching accusation of fascism has been around since Barry Goldwater.
The word “racist” has lost all meaning...

With its passage in the House, the progressive Democrats have launched new material.

Are you ready for it women?

You’re not just perpetual victims, you’re also stupid and incompetent...
